First day of the week in calendar

In the UK (as in many countries) the week starts on Sunday and calendars normally reflect this. With iPhone the week starts on Monday (in UK) but in Ireland it starts on Sunday. I really can't use a calendar showing Monday as the first day of the week (it's too confusing when compared to printed calendars and iCal on the computer). If I set iPhone calendar to Ireland that's fine for a while but soon it reverts to UK and Monday. Is it possible to make this calendar show the correct day all the time?

Yes, it's possible, by changing Settings > General > International > Region Format to something other than the UK. Setting it to the United States will give you a week starting on Sunday. But, that setting also controls the way dates and phone numbers are displayed, so those are affected as well. But, maybe that's already how you already "set iPhone calendar to Ireland," in which case, I'm not sure why it's reverting back, unless it's resulting from when you sync the phone to your computer.

  • How do I change the first day of the week in calendar?

    I recently updated to ios 5.
    unfortunately, this made sunday day one of the week in calendar, not Monday which is my preference (and the convention in Australia).
    I was able to change it to Monday by changing international settings to UK, but this changed other settings such as uk version of google as default search engine, which I would prefer to avoid.
    Is there a way to make Monday the first day of the week in calendar AND keep my other international settings as Australia?
    Many thanks for suggestions.
    Chris.

    I don't think you can. Your best bet is to send Apple feedback and ask for that functionality.

  • Change first day of the week in Calendar?

    When I updated my iPhone to 3.0, my default Calendar app switched the first day of the week (in month view mode) from Sunday to Monday. Any idea how I can change this back?
    -Gerald

    What application does your iPhone calendar sync with on your computer? I have had all three versions of the iPhone and can't remember any of them showing Monday as the first day of the week in "Month" view. Of course that doesn't mean anything... can you post a picture showing Monday as the first day of the week?

  • Changing the calendar settings: Sunday as the first day of the week

    Dear Masters of SAP universe,
    In ECC6.0, I am using a LIS info-structure with the period split set to week.
    I would like to know how can I change the calendar settings in order to consider Sunday as the first day of the week, instead of Monday.
    For example:
    A sales order created on Dec 12th creates the record 201049 in the info structure S900 - SPWOC.
    I would like to have it as 201050, where 50 is the currently week in the system.
    I already checked OSS notes and the transaction SCAL for customizing. But I did not find a solution this issue.
    Your help is highly appreciated!

    hi,
    this seems to be a calendar issue.
    please check for OSS also - 1158474.

  • Weekdays option in alarm does not correspond to first day of the week option in calendar

    I am based in Oman where the week is Saturday to Thursday and Friday is weekly off instead of Sunday. Inspite of changing first day of the week to saturday in calendar option and choosing weekdays option in Alarm, it rings on Fridays and does not ring on Sundays. Its very upsetting. Can anyone suggest a solution for this?? Thanks in advance.

    i just did this on my Blackberry curve 8330 to make sure my answer was correct, and what i was able to do was.
    Go to your calender, select the first day you would like it to start i i will start monday for example, Recurrence set to weekly. when selecting weekly another option will appear below it ( S M T W T F S ) highlight and select a letter that marks the day  Saturday , Monday , Tuesday Ect.  and the letting will become BOLD meaning it is selected. Thus giving you the option to select any , and as many days per week you wish, and have the recurrence as often as you want

  • Setting the first day of the week

    Hi,
    Is there any other place in Mac OS X where I could set system's first day of the week, except iCal? In iCal it's set to Sunday, but in OmniFocus mini calendars show Monday as the first day of the week, although even there in OmniFocus preferences I've set it to use Sunday as the first day of the week. Developer says that OmniFocus is using system's settings, but nowhere in my system (except iCal) I can find where I could set the first day of the week. I have set English as the default language and order of list sorting in the International settings. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Unless it is set with the Country in the International preferences, I don't think their tech support knows what they are talking about. However, if that is where it would be set, you should be able to override it with the custom settings, but you can't.
    I'd ask them to tell you where that gets set, or is stored. Ask them what system call is used to get that value. My guess is they won't be able to tell you.

  • Wrong starting day of the week printing calendar in month view

    I'm trying to print a month view calendar with the weeks starting from Monday.
    In "Preferences" -> "General tab" ->"Start week on:"  I've set Monday, and it is properly viewed in Calendar, but when I try to print it in the preview I see Tuesday as first day of the week.
    This happens on many MacBook that I've tried, all with Yosemite and Italian regional settings.
    The only way to resolve this issue is to open "System Preferences" ->"Language & Region" and change the "First day of the week:" on Sunday in all my "Preferred Languages" (both Italian and English), to have the printing preview of a calendar starting on Monday!
    Is there an other way?
    Is this a bug that should be submitted to Apple to get a "patch" on future releases of Mac OS X?
    I know, it is a tiny issue, but annoying.

  • United Kingdom Regional Format sets Monday as the first day of the week.

    With the Region Settings (Settings -> General -> International -> Region Format) set to United Kingdom, Calendar displays Monday as the first day of the week. I have seen other posts whereby it was suggested to change to US Internationalization but this will also change the date and telephone number formats to US settings, far more frustrating.
    Have I been sheltered from properly formatted calendars all my life or is this a mistake and it should start the week on Sunday. It is consistent in both the Week and Month view.
    Am I crazy or does anyone else agree with is?

    Same here. One of the first things I do in this sort of application is switch week start to Mondays.

  • Can I change the first day of the week on my ipod touch

    I have a new Ipod touch, which i recently upgraded to OS 3.0. I was wondering if it is possible to set the first day of the week in Ical to Sunday instead of Saturday?
    Thanks

    The International Region Format controls the start day of your calendar display. UK region format sets the display to start on Monday. US region format will start the calendar on Sunday. However, that setting also controls your date, time and phone number formats, so using it would only cause you more problems.
    Tell Apple you want the option to set the calendar week start independent of the international region format using the feedback page. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

  • Changing the first day-of-the-week on the MyTimesheets app

    IN the SAP ECC and Portal implementations of the timesheet app, we were recently able to change the display so the first day of the week is listed as Monday, rather than Sunday. I would like to do the same thing with Fiori.
    That is, when the app starts up the first view a calendar view of the whole month. If a person wants to enter time manually, they click the button labeled "manual" and a data entry screen pops up. The first day of the week listed across the top is Sunday, which does not reflect our settings in ECC. We need the 1st day of the week to be Monday.
    Is there a configuration change we can make to force the 1st day of the week to be Monday, as it is in ECC?
    thanks for your help!
    -Rob Solomon

    Hi Rob,
    Are you using Wave2 app? You could change the setting for first day of the week in CAC1 and Fiori Timesheet app will adjust te calendar accordingly.
    Nothing needs to be done for Fiori app.
    Please update UIX01HCM to SP03 if you are using Wave2 app?
    Best Regards

  • Change first day of the week from Monday to Sunday(0CALWEEK)

    Hello!
    We have a report that display the data at a calendar week level. The start of the week currently show as Monday( retreived from FM - WEEK_GET_FIRST_DAY).
    Is there a global setting in source system to change the start day of the week from Monday to Sunday? I can always make this change in the transformation but would like to know if there is a global option to make this change so the rest of the reports display the same.
    Thanks
    Sirisha

    You can check this SAP Note 624627 - Sunday first day of the week also a working day (Collective)
    Might be helpful.

  • Want to make Monday as the first day of the week in GregorianCalendar. how?

    hi
    I need to know what day is the first of the month is. for example the 1st of Nov 2004 is Moday and 1st of Dec 2004 is saturday.
    I am using the GregorianCalendar:
    1.  GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(2004,11,1);    //set date to 1st Nov 2004
    2.  int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);now firstDay is 2. This is because the week starts from Sunday, so Monday is the 2nd day.
    But I am in Uk and my Uk Calendar shows monday as the first day (even in Windows 2000 Calendar).
    I would like the GregorianCalendar to have Monday as the first day of the week, so that the
    int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    returns 1 in the above case.
    I also tried adding
    calendar.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY); just between line 1 and line 2, but it did not help.
    This is because i don't want to manually subtract 1. If i manually subtract one, then the program might not work in other locale and timezones.
    Also if I subtract 1, then for 1 Feb 2004,
    int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    will return 1 as 1st Feb 2004 falls on Sunday. so if i subtract 1 it will be 0, so I have to do a extra checking for 0.
    Is there anyway to make the Calendar have Monday as the first day of the week??

    hi
    I need to know what day is the first of the month is.Why does this matter? Since we know that 1 == Sunday and 2 == Monday... Why do you need Monday to be == 1? and couldn't you just subtract 1 if it's so important?
    for example the 1st of Nov 2004 is Moday and 1st of
    Dec 2004 is saturday.
    I am using the GregorianCalendar:

    GregorianCalendar(2004,11,1);    //set date to 1st Nov
    2004
    2.  int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);now firstDay is 2. This is because the week starts

  • Moving a GregorianCalendar to the first day of the week

    I'm using a GregorianCalendar class in order to get the time stamp for the nearest Sunday's date.
    here's what I'm trying to do:
    1. get a timeStamp and set it into a date
    Date startDate = new Date(startTime);2. create a new GregorianCalendar using the above date as the start time.
    GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar((startDate.getYear()+1900),startDate.getMonth(),startDate.getDate());3. the tricky part: make sure the calnedar's date is set to Sunday, if the current date is on any day other then Sunday, I will have to move it back to the nearest Sunday. I'm trying to do this by using:
    calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 0);     for some reason this does not work...
    am I doing anything wrong here?

    thanks for that info but the problem is still there. here's some more input:
    //creating the date, the ts here is 1153858800000 which is the dated in 7/25/2006
    Date startDate = new Date(startTime);
    //creating the new calendar
    GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar((startDate.getYear()+1900),startDate.getMonth(),startDate.getDate());
    //setting the calendar to the first hour (not sure it necessary)
    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
    //setting the calendar to the first day of the week
    calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 1);
    //this returns 1153778400000 which is still dated 7/25/2006 whic is a Tuesday I would expect it to returns a different date
    calendar.getTimeInMillis()

    Hi,
    OMG! How bizzarre, another quirk of the "Region Fortmats" setting.
    *Settings > General > International > Region Format*
    If I set mine to U.K. (where I happen to live), Monday is apparently the first day of the week on the calendar and I have no 12/24 hour clock option.
    If set to U.S., Sunday is the first day and the 12/24 hour clock option is available.
    I guess changing the Region is your answer.
    How odd! Not to say irritating.

  • How to set first day of the week?

    I'm trying to set up my iPad calendar so that my week view starts on Monday. My calendar on my desktop & MoblieMe starts the week on Monday which is what I want but my iPad starts on Sunday (even though it has been synced with my desktop & MoblieMe too). Please help! Thanks!

    Actually, I tried both UK and Australia, and Sunday was still the first day of the week.
    HOWEVER!!!
    Woohoo!!   American Samoa works, and doesn't seem to change any other formats (although admittedly I have not made an exhaustive search - just checked the International Example thing recommended by Matthias suggested.
    Matthias, thanks very much by the way!!
