How to change 24-hour clock?

Under Settings->General->Date & Time, the setting is set to 24H and blanked out.
How do you change the 24H format to 12H?

Ansuz, you are right. If I set the Region Format to US, I can change 24H/12H, but not if it's set to UK. That's really odd.
Not really. 24H is part of the System International (a.k.a. "metric"). Since the U.K. has officially adopted it in place of the "English" system, 24H is the standard. Additionally since the other countries have used 24H notation for years and years, it was probably not realized that the U.K. has done it for only, what 20/30 years. Thus there are still people alive who remember the "old" system. I use 24H all the time since I was in the Air Force.

  • How to enable 24 hour clock on Verizon STB?

    Whilst I appreciate i'm in a country that appears unable to tell the time in any other way than using AM / PM symbols, I would very much like to have my time displayed in the format I - and other europeans - are used to: the 24 hour clock.
    How do I enable it on my STB? I can't see the option. If i can't enable it, why can't i?

    Sticky wicket, old sport.  Yet upon reflection (UK variant: reflexion) you may find that the country doesn't literally "tell the time" regardless of format.  Most often the inhabitants assume this duty.  You can therefore address your difficulty by asking anyone in the vicinity
    Meantime (not a pun) should you find yourself without companions, look here:

  • How to select 12-hour clock in iPhone?

    I'm using my iPhone 3G in the UK and would prefer to use the 12-hour rather than 24-hour clock format. Unfortunately the "24-Hour Time" on/off slider in Settings is grayed out and stuck on 24-hour format. How can I make this selection active so I can turn off the 24-hour format?

    Basically your stuffed. If you want a 12 hour clock you need to use the USA settings, the problem then is that the date format is up the spout and the calendar in month view starts with a Sunday! Come on Apple give us in the UK the 12 hour option!

    how do I change ical out of the 24 hour clock so my events say 2:00PM insetad of 14:00

    melodyfred,
    Quit iCal, go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/reset the appropriate region.
    Log out/in or restart and iCal should display the a.m./p.m. format.

  • How can I change my Analog clock displayed back to a Digital one? (Treo 700wx)

    Apparently on its own my phone has changed the format of its clock on the upper right hand corner of the treo screen. The clock used to read digital time but now it reads a clock with an hour hand and a minute hand. No one (Sprint) knows how to change it back to digital time. Help!

    Take your stylus and tap and hold on the analog clock and you will get a drop down list with two choices analog or digital. Choose digital.

    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

    Thanks, David.  i thought i had it set correctly in Preferences in L&R. Being i was wearing my suspenders and belt at the same time i went back to L&R, cleared what was there and re-entered same to include unchecking and rechecking Time Format fgor 24-hour time.   It works now. Thanks again.

  • Can I change the time format of incoming mails, in Mail? Now I have AM/PM, but I live in Denmark where we don't use that format. We have a 24-hour clock format i.e. 14:52 instead of 2:52 PM.

  • How can I change the alarm clock sound on my iPhone

    I can't figure out how to change the alarm sound on the Alarm Clock in my iPhone?  Anybody got an idea for me?

    What's wrong with you? Oh, now that you realized you made a mistake and I didn't say "Alarming"? The app tited "Alarmed" is the first thing that pops up if you search the App Store using the search term "Alarmed". It is also the name of the app as it appears on the screen of my phone.  Oh, and the developer refers to it as "Alarmed" on his website.It may not have occured to you but, it is possible for more than one app to have the same name. Most of the people here are smart enough to figure out which one is the alarm clock by reading the description. But, we've already covered the reading comprehension thing, 

  • I just got a retro clock from brookstone and in setting it up it asked if I want to use current location which is incorrectly "Buffalo" but I do not know how to change it.  Can anyone help me find where to change location?

    As I understand it, Apple gets your location from the wi-fi router to which your iPod is connected.  Location Services identifies the router and then checks for its location in Apple's database.  If the router has been recently relocated or if there is a glitch in Apple's database, you will get an incorrect location.  I don't think that there is anything you can do about it.  You could send Apple a message about the error, but I doubt if they would do anything about it.
