ICloud date format - especially in Mail

Since moving over to iCloud the date format in my Mail (and presumably anywhere else in iCloud) has changed from day/month/year to month/day/year. My System Preferences are in the format I want but this doesn't seem to have any affect on the iCloud preferences. Does anyone know how I can change the date format or will Apple fix this in an update? Thanks,

This does not solve the problem. Much like date format settings on Mac do not change the date format on the menu bar of a mac, where it matters most. The date format settings in icloud calendar do not change the date format. Anyone have a solution?

How do i change date format in mac mail?

how do i change the date format in mac mail?

I just had this problem and I already was using "classic layout".
I went back to mac mail and at the top, it says, MAIL, FILE, EDIT, VIEW (etc). In VIEW, in the drop down, one of the options is ORGANIZE BY CONVERSATION ..I saw that mine was CHECKED.
I unchecked it and now all the emails are fine again, showing one by one, as opposed to all my emails from one client getting lumped together.

Icloud Date Format wrong...

iCloud date format preferences do not work. Day Month Year is an option but it doesn't reflect in places like the calander.

Date format in Apple Mail

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Is there a way to use international date formats in Apple Mail.app with the AppleStationeryDynamicElement?
Example: xxxxx<\span >
In my case it always displays the English Format "October 22, 2010" instead of the German format although in the language settings everything seems O.K. .
Thank you very much!
Kind regards

+initWithDateFormat:@"%b %1d %Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO];+
+initWithDateFormat:@"%1m/%1d/%Y" allowNaturalLanguage:NO]
autorelease];+
As I said, I'm not that knowledgeable, but I can read - it seems to me all the examples given assume the English language (month first), so have you tried:
%1d/%1m/%Y
I am asking because you said:
+I have in my mail template the string "apple-content-type="date" apple-date-format= *"%b %1d, %Y"".*+
From what I just looked at, "b" or "m" is the month, so if that is what you have entered, it'll show "March 2, 2010"; however - at least in Germany - the date is displayed as 2. März 2010 (I know the Viennese have their own way of doing things, but..
The other thing that puzzled me is the fact that it says "allowNaturalLanguage: No" - again, I have no idea, but logic would dictate that yes, of course, you want the natural language which, in this case, would be German. Just a thought on this one.

Is there a way to change the Calendar date format in iCloud? It seems to default to the 'American' way even though on my iMac it is set to the 'British' way.

My calendar in iCloud has the following format:
1/12/2011 for the 12 January 2011
I would like it to be as all my other Calendars were/are:
12/1/2011 for 12th January 2011
Any help gratefully accepted

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on the gear icon in the top right corner and select preferences from the menu that appears, you can adjust the date format from there.

Date format in Mail ToDo list

I would like to enter due dates in my ToDo list in British format. The display format is fine. Setting Preferences and restarting the computer doen't help. There is a file called ToDo.strings which might be relevant, but can anyone tell me how I force this change?

Date format in mail - "yesterday, the day before,..."

Hello.
When using mail in the new version, the left gutter gathering all the inboxes, each message summary displays the essentials infos.
In many cases the date display is set to show the reception hour on the same day (fine), the previous day is shown as "yesterday" and the day before yesterday as "the day-before-yesterday", and finally "two days ago".
My system is in french thus it's not written" two days ago" but (I translate) "before-before-yesterday".... This doesn't help me anymore.
Here is my question: is there a way to set the date format in the message short in order to have the full numerical date as soon as "yesterday", actually to always have a numerical date display ... no more "avant-avant-hier".
Thanks

Thanks but...
I just sort of just figured out the obvious and noticed, that I'd even have a big problem if that regex of mine worked.... unluckily, there actually seem to be days with a number smaller than 3, but no negative days in the human calendar... so I'm going to rest first and think it over after that. Most likely I'm going to end up subtracting a day in unix-time and converting back, better ideas are not necessary but welcome .
(edit: oh, and thanks again - that might come handy when I ended up with the same $(\[chaos\]) trying the unix time version later)

Apple-date-format for Mail Stationary

my date for my mail stationary is not updating as it used to since i have upgraded to Mavericks
this was my code before: (works only with Mountain Lion)
xxxxx
this is my code now: (works only with Mavericks)

any one have idea what shuld i use for the date format that would work both Mountain Lion and Mavericks?
Thanks!

Steve,
I think that you may have the "wrong" choice in the Systems Preferences/International preference pane. If this is set to "United Kingdom" then Mail will generate iCal events with the correct date.
However, if (like me) you customise this in any way, OS X creates a "Custom" profile. This is no longer recognised by Mail as using UK date formats and the program then seems to default to choosing US dates. So, if you are willing to lose your customisation and switch back to the standard "United Kingdom" choices this should work.
It is just a shame that you can't have a UK date format, and some customisation of (for instance) the date/time display.

Date formatting issue when sending excel file via mail

hello People ,
I am facing date issue .
I have inetrnal format of date as yyyymmdd.
I am converting it into YYYY-MM-DD.
CONCATENATE gs_output-end_date(4)
                    gs_output-end_date+4(2)
                    gs_output-end_date+6(2)
                    INTO lv_date_to SEPARATED BY gc_seperator. " gc_separator = '-'.
        gs_output-end_date = lv_date_to.
I am writing this date and sending an excel file via MAIL . I get date result as MM/DD/YYYY always.
Now if i pass in YYYY.MM.DD and used the same code where gc_separtor = '.'.
I get output as YYYY.MM.DD.
Can any one give me an idea why in format YYYY-MM-DD it is getting overwritten but for yyyy.mm.dd it gives me as yyyy.mm.dd?
Regards,
Abhi..

Thanks , Rohit ,
I have change my date format in SU01 settings .
It is now made to [ YYYY-MM-DD] but still '-' is replaced by MM/DD/YYYY.
Also note that when i format in the following way
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)
                    INTO lv_rda_date.
instead of
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)
                    INTO lv_rda_date sepearted by '-'.
I get output as YYYYMMDD.

Date format for To-Dos in Mail

Despite having all my settings in system preferences set to UK/British and it correctly recognising 08/11/07 as 8th November 2007, adding the same date to a ToDo in Mail it becomes 11th August (and because 2007 would be in the past) 2008. Not too useful for setting To Do dates. Is there a setting within Mail for date format that I've not found that overrides this or is it a bug that needs fixing?

TS4002 After the icloud update I have not been able to access any of the newly formatted icons including mail, is anyone else experiencing this. I report to apple through the tab but nothing changes. My iPhone mail is unaffected.

Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
Has it returned to normal for you?

How to handle Multiple date formats for the same date field in SQL*Loader

Dear All,
I got a requirement where I need to get data from a text file and insert the same into oracle table.
I am using SQL*Loader to populate the data from the text file into my table.
The file has one field where I am expecting date date data in multiple formats, like dd/mon/yyyy, yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, ,mm/dd/yyyy, mon/dd/yyyy.
While using SQL*Loader, I can see Loading is failing for records where we have formats like yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, mon/dd/yyyy.
Is there any way in SQL*Loader where we can mention all these date formats so that this date data should go smoothly into the underlying date column in the table.
Appreciate your response on this.
Thanks,
Madhu K.

The point being made was, are you sure that you can uniquely identify a date format from the value you receieve? Are you sure that the data stored is only of a particular limited set of formats?
e.g. if you had a value of '07/08/03' how do you know what format that is?
It could be...
7th August 2003 (thus assuming it's DD/MM/RR format)
or
8th July 2003 (thus assuming it's MM/DD/RR format)
or
3rd August 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/MM/DD format)
or
8th March 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/DD/MM format)
or even more obscurely...
3rd July 2008 (MM/RR/DD)
or
7th March 2008 (DD/RR/MM)
Do you have any information to tell you what formats are valid that would allow you to be specific and know what date format is meant?
This is a classic example of why dates should be stored on the database using DATE datatype and not VARCHAR2. It can lead to corruption of data, especially if the date can be entered in any format a user wishes.

How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
    Open System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Click the Dates tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click the Times tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click OK.
    Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
    Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.
Then customize to taste - OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
    Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
    To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
    In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
    In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
    When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
    The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' " to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust
- Date/Time formats are displayed according to 'tradition' of your region > http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad245ed123
