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.

  • How to check the calendar date format in R12, 'IW' or 'WW' ??

    Hi!
    Currently we are facing any issue where the first date in 2014 is 6-Jan and remaining dates i.e; 2.3.4.5 Jan are in last week of Dec13.
    I read in Oracle Forums topic first dates in Oracle are based on IW and W W format as below;
    W W format - provides the week number such that January 1 is always in week 1
    'IW format - is a little different in that January 1 can be week 53 of the previous year if it is a Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
    But I am unsure in which format, our customers are maintaining the calendar dates in R12?? So is there any way/script find out the date format??
    They are using 4/4/5 calendar type and Prof option 'BOM: Wek or Period Start Day' is set to Monday.
    If this is not the right community for this discussion, please advise the right community as well.
    Please update!

    Hi,
    Try DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY FUNCTION.
    PARAMETERS : P_DATE LIKE SY-DATUM.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
    end-of-selection.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY'
      EXPORTING
        DATE                      = P_DATE
      EXCEPTIONS
        PLAUSIBILITY_CHECK_FAILED = 1
        OTHERS                    = 2.
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
        WRITE :/ P_DATE, ' is Invalid Date'.
      ELSE.
        WRITE :/ P_DATE, ' is a valid day'.
      ENDIF.
    If you want the OO way of doing the same, you can use this.
    CALL METHOD CL_RECA_DATE=>CHECK_DATE
      EXPORTING
        ID_DATE      =
    EXCEPTIONS
       DATE_INVALID = 1
       others       = 2
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
               WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.
    Internally, it calls the above function module.

  • I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support

    I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support to set up my new ID.

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted but OK on iPhone. If I sync will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please?

    Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted (ie have red exclamation mark by them) but are still OK on iPhone. If I sync, will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal or will I lose that as well? Or could I back up the calendars on my iPhone somewhere and then import them into iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please? it's driving me mad. thanks.

    I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

  • Backup of the Calendar data - iPad to iTunes ?

    Bonjour,
    A very simple question !
    Is there a backup of the Calendar data made when you connect your iPad to iTunes ?
    I don't want to sync my iPad calendar to Outlook or any other applications just to make sure I don't loose the Calendar data.
    If it isn't the case is there applications that can export/import that data ?
    Many thanks and cheers !
    Gilles RF2

    Thanks for your suggestion. I solved the problem: the iPad was downloading an IOS update and the network went dead - it was also not the computer that the iPad had been synced with. I "reset" the system and went back to the original computer - I had to restore the iPad completely but it is now back and working.

  • Trying to select the Calendar check box in iCloud window and then it asks me If I want to merge I hit ok and the it tries to ad see spinning fan icon and then just quits and is then unchecked.  Does Anyone have a solution to fix this?

    Trying to select the Calendar check box in iCloud window and then it asks me If I want to merge I hit ok and the it tries to ad see spinning fan icon and then just quits and is then unchecked.  Does Anyone have a solution to fix this?  It works just fine on all other 5 Macs I have.  I have tried to sign out and in and even restart the computer.  I am running Yosemite on all 6 of my Macs.

    Search the web or help doco about the Captivate feature called Return to Quiz.  It will do what you are looking for here according to your description.  There's even a Youtube video from a year or two back that shows how it works.

  • How can I dynamically change the Application Date Format?

    Hi everyone...
    In my application (v 3.2) I let the user set the application date format dynamically through a "preference" value they can change on the go.
    I then take the format they pick and assign their value (ie: DD-MON-YYYY) and pad 'HH:MI' to it and use this as the PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK which works great for most date pickers.
    The problem I have is that some date picker I use in the application don't require the HH:MI, they simply need the DD-MON-YYYY part. Could I use the NLS_DATE_FORMAT for this? Would I then be able to use date pickers with the "use application date format"? It doesn't seem to work for me.
    In other words, I basically need 2 date formats for my application date pickers; 1 for simply the dates and 1 for dates including time. And these 2 formats are chosen by the user by setting an application preference dynamically at run time.
    Not sure if I make sense here....any idea?
    Thanks!
    Francois

    "use application date format" is the choice you want.

  • HT3412 The preview of my hardcover book as iPhoto laid it out is 62 pgs. even though there are only 82 photos in my album.  That seems like a lot of pgs. for so few photos.  Is this a full 62 pgs or 31? How much is 62pgs?

    The preview of my hardcover book as iPhoto laid it out is 62 pgs. even though there are only 82 photos in my album. 
    The auto layout used mostly 1 photo, full pages.  Obviosuly I can manually re-layout the pages as multi-photo pages and reduce the number of pages.
    However, that seems like a lot of pgs. for so few photos since a blank Photo Essay book layout appears to use 73 photos?
    I'm not sure I know why iPhoto did not the default layout to fill those photo frames.  I expected the 82 photos to use approximately 23-24 pages max.
    Is this a full 62 full pgs or 31sheets?
    If it is a true 62 pages, what is the cost?
    Thanks for the help.

    What does the book look like in iPhoto in the All Pages window?  Are there photos on all pages? Books are printed on both sides of the page so that would be 31 pages.
    This book has 48 pages or 24 sheets.
    To find the cost click on the Buy Book button and check the price that is presented to you.  You can always cancel out of the purchase process.

  • After the last iPhone 5 update, the calendar date do not match the respective weekday. i.e. November 1st 2013 is marked as Saturday on the iphone.

    After the last iPhone 5 update, the calendar date do not match the respective weekday. i.e. November 1st 2013 is marked as Saturday on the iphone.

    I have this exact same issue!
    I was on 2.0.1 running fine until late last week, noticed emails would not show up unless I had opened them in outlook. I thought I ran into a bug so I upgraded to 2.0.2. Now I can sync my email if outlook had them opened previously, but no calendar or contacts at all. I don't think my exchange admins will move me to another server, any other ideas?
    I love my iphone but if these features don't work I can't use it. I would appreciate any ideas.

  • I followed the instructions for "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer," but the calendar data did not transfer & the calendar program is not functioning.

    I manually moved my profile from Thunderbird in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to Windows 8.1. I followed instructions and everything moved as expected except the Calendar. Not only did the Calendar data not transfer, the Calendar itself is not functioning, e.g. no dates & days of week, etc., all menus relating to Calendar are "greyed-out," etc. I would appreciate any help. TIA KellyJMorris

    The Calendar (a.k.a. Lightning) contains binary components, which are OS dependent. So you do need to remove the Lightning add-on in your Add-on manager and install the Windows version of Lightning.

  • How to get the system date format string?

    Hello, everybody!
    I want to create a MaskFormatter with a mask for dates. So, I could suply as the constructor parameter: "##/##/####'. However, what if the year comes first in the current system date format settings, or the month is in the second place or in the first?... So, I can't just suppose that the current locale format for dates is like the one above. So, my question is: is there a way to get the SYSTEM DATE FORMAT STRING in Java? Searching in google I saw that this was already asked in this forum:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=301034&messageID=1193794
    but there was no effective answer. Does someone already know how to get this?
    Thank you.
