How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?

Hello guys,
Very embarassing question, because I've had Apple's for all of my life (starting with the original Apple Macintosh) but I still haven't figured out one thing
How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?
When I go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats I can set different formats. I have no idea where you will see these, but I know that it's not the top bar where the time and date is being displayed. Because no matter what I enter, the format in the top bar will stay the same. I can only choose things like 24-Hour clock or not, blinking dots and so on in the Time & Date settings from the System Preferences.
Can anyone here point me in the right direction? I see you can even choose to display the week of the year - I'd love to do that!
All help appreciated!
Greetings

Language & Text system preferences, Formats tab, customize dates.
There are also many third party menu item utilities that can.  Search Macupdate.com for some.
One search yielded iClock Pro.  Although I never used it I would think it allows customization.  The link I gave you is to the Macupdate download page for that app.  On that same page is a Similar Software section which has other apps that can do the same thing. 
One listed is iStat Menus.  The primary use for iStat Menus is not for displaying date/time but it does do that.  And I know it can do what you want because I use iStat Menus to track temperature sensors n my machine and, like you, I want to customize the menu time/date.  So I use it instead of the apple clock.  It does have the customization features I think you are looking for.

  • Time not working in the menu bar.

    My problem is the time that the operating system is displaying in the menu bar. When I set the time to New York, Eastern Standard time, the clock displays an incorrect time of 5 hours prior. I have the clock set to automatically sync with Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com). However, this doesn't help. This really disrupts correct functionality of iCal and I would really like to know how this issue can be resolved. Any ideas?

    Set up the whole thing again in system prefs.> Date & Time.
    Untick automatic and set to correct time & date.
    Check the time zone map and make sure the correct city is showing.
    Then the menu bar clock options.
    Then back to recheck Auto to the correct time site. (Choice of three here)
    Restart: fingers crossed.

  • HOW CAN I SET TIHE NETWORK TIME BECAUSE IT DOESNT ALLOW ME TO SING IN

    HOW CAN I SET TIHE NETWORK TIME in the apple tv BECAUSE IT DOESNT ALLOW ME TO SING IN

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Time and date should be set automatically by the network time server. There has been a number of posts reporting this problem. Solutions have involved:
    Restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a few moments.
    Restoring the Apple TV.
    Opening port 123 on the router.
    Ensuring the DNS address on both the router and the Apple TV are those provided by your ISP.

  • How can I permanently change the date format from the American format to the UK's without having to constantly change it manually every time I start a new spreadsheet?

    This is my first mac so I'm still getting my bearings with it. I've only used Windows programmes before. I can't understand why it's so hard to change the date format of the cells in Numbers to keep it showing the UK format. The system preferences of the mac show that it's in the correct region and has the correct date but this doesn't seem to transfer into the Numbers program. I was very impressed with the mac until I discovered this. If anyone knows how I can get the date to stay in the correct format without having to go through the process of altering it in the cell inspector everytime then I would be very grateful.

    Numbers & most apps, especially those from Apple, use the date format you have set in System Preferences > Language & Text > Region. You can then choose UK from the Region drop-down list. Mine says Custom because I've defined things further as in the second screenshot.

    I would prefer to answer in your post. as I have tried on two occasions to help.. so far this is the first time I can see you stated  you are using Lion.
    1. Did you download and install the 5.6 utility..?
    I said to do it.. you never said yes.. I did that.
    Please do it. .. you will get no place before you do.
    2. Did you bridge the TC.. ?
    If so it will work perfectly.. please post a screen shot of the summary page from the 5.6 utility. If something is wrong I can work it out from there.
    3. Or ring apple support and get them to walk you through the setup.. there should be phone support for the first week or two.

  • How do I set up my Time Capsule as backup HD only.

    How do I set up my Time Capsule to act as back up external Hard Drive only?  When I connect to my current network it slows down transfers between my 3 HD Tivos set up on my network to a crawl!  I don't want it connected to my network!

    Bridge the TC.
    First of all download and use the real utility if you haven't already. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Open utility.. go to manual setup..
    In the TC setup go to internet tab..
    Down the page find connection sharing.
    Select off bridge mode.
    Update the TC.
    The TC now is a client in the network and will act as a HDD.
    Wireless is up to you.. but it should not slow the connection. Certainly you can turn it off completely.

  • I changed my ISP, how I can Setting up my Time Capsule ?

    Recently, I changed my ISP, how I can Setting up my Time Capsule again?

    Hello. I jus tbought mine and will be setting up shortly. So I am only guessing here, based on how my airport extreme base station acted when I switched once. When you connect the ethernet to it, it should simply find the signal,a nd prompt you for the password information that you set up with the new ISP.
    If not, please report back how it goes..

  • How do i set up my time capsule wifi for many users

    hello ..
    i have problem.. as always
    my time capsule is connected to dsl modem (off(bridge mode)), in modem we can get only 10 ip adresses and no more. so when there are 10 pc connected to our wifi, no more can connect.... how can i set up my time capsule, so more people can join our wifi...? is it even possible?
    P.S.
    1) to our wifi is connected printer, so everybody can print...
    2) every pc uses time capsule as bacup place in time machine.
    tnx

    You often see this limit of 10 clients in wireless hotspots but I have yet to see it in an adsl modem.. most strange way to pay for a service that is really irrelevant how many clients you use.
    Have a go .. I recently setup a TC to help a guy run his Roku.. and this setup worked well.. I have no idea if it can work in your case.
    Lets say the IP you get is 192.168.2.1-10 .. doesn't matter what it really is. And the adsl modem is 192.168.2.254
    (Assuming they are private addresses.. if they are public IP you can just use the DHCP and NAT. )
    But go to the airport utility.. I think you need to run v5 at least to change DNS.. but you can do the same thing in v6 using static but no dns changes.
    Now you set the IP of the TC manually.. This address might need to be in the dhcp range of the modem to work. You can set the DNS to same IP as the router address.. ie home address of the modem. Or you can use another DNS.. whatever you like.
    Then set DHCP for clients that will join.. this can then expand the scope of addresses..
    It worked without a NAT error.. although I am not sure exactly how.. on paper it should not be able to work but did.. have a go.. otherwise there is perhaps another way.. but it is complicated.
    Give us an example from a computer plugged into the modem of what IP .. subnet mask .. Gateway and DNS you get. Then I can fine tune the values for it.
