Location in Date & Time

A while back, (OK, quite a while back), the Map Control Panel allowed one to set the location of one's Mac to a higher degree of precision than the current "Time Zone" tab of the Date & Time System Preference. In short, one could enter the Lat&Lon of your office (or home) and the City and State (for us USA types) and that was a "remembered setting." I was truly hoping that I would not be forced to choose one of 4 "Closest Cities" in the Mountain Time Zone when Leopard rolled out. The city I choose is defaulted to display on my published dotMac Calendars from iCal. I would REALLY prefer to have my real city in here. Any plans to fix this and revert to the good ol' Map Control Panel feature? Or is there a work around someone can suggest? AppleScript communication with a secretly accessible setting? Third party shareware . . . Ideas anyone?

You can't change it to portrait i'm afraid.
Hit me on the PM if you want that theme okay.

Location Services always ON with Auto Date/Time/Timezone ON

iOS5 lets you see the Location Services (LS) indicator in the Status Bar when system services are using LS in addition to when apps are using LS. I turned this ON (Settings > Location Services > System Services > Status Bar Icon) and immediately saw that "Setting Time Zone" was using LS.
I went into Settings > General > Date & Time and saw that "Set Automatically" was ON. As soon as I turned it OFF the LS indicator disappeared.
Does this mean that LS is always ON when you've got auto Date & Time on? It looks like that to me...
Anyone else seeing this? I wonder whether this is an iOS5 bug or whether it's always behaved like this?
Thanks
Tim

Hi All,
I checked my friend's IPHONE 4S. Date & Time->Set Automatically is set to ON and in Location Services-> Setting Time Zone is set to On but it does not use GPS regularly but my Phone does I have tried everything Setup as new, erase all setting, reset all settings, reset network settings and restore from BACKUP. My Problem is persitent. The Only difference I notice in my mobile and friend's mobile is that he bought from Saudi Arabia and I bought from Australia (though it has been swaped by genious bar). He is using Telstra and I am using Vodafone. both has 9A406.
Hard to figure out what is this?
Thanks

Date & Time Set Automatically locate me in China!

I upgraded my iTouch 4G to iOs 5 the other day. A couple of days later, in the middle of the night, the time zone switched to Shanghai and I missed my doctor's appointment because the iPod thought I was in China. Now, I live in Reykjavík, Iceland, nowhere near China. What the heck has happened? I switched 'Set Automatically" off and set it to Reykjavík and it works fine. Still, when I use the Facebook app my location is Shenyang, Liaoning, China!
Is this an iOs 5 glitch or what the heck is going on? I've tried it over a different wifi and it's the same thing.

I am currently in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Current timezone is UTC/GMT -5 (CDT - Central Daylight Time).
When date & time is set to automatic, the time in the status bar is incorrect for Winnipeg by -1 hr. All the times in the World Clock are correct (including the display for Winnipeg).
I recall an issue I had when using Bootcamp on my Macbook. The Macbook records system time (and all time stamps) in UTC/GMT but displays the correct time once you specify the timezone offset. This caused problems when booting back and forth with Windows because Windows assumed the system clock was set to the local time (I now use VMWare Fusion). This issue was well documented on the Apple site.
I'm assuming the iPhone behaves similar to my Macbook and Mac OS and expects the system time to be set as UTC/GMT. The behaviour I'm experiencing suggests the UTC/GMT time is actually being set correctly on the iPhone (otherwise, the world clocks wouldn't display the correct time) but the timezone offset is incorrect for Winnipeg (which determines how it's displayed in the status bar).
I did some significant troubleshooting last night and gathered some data to further explain the problem. However, I fear that if I post it publicly the thread may be deleted.

HT4995 Location Services and Automatic Date & Time

What do you do when selecting 'Set Automatically" in the Settings>General>Date & Time is not accurate? Also what should be done when Location Services, specifically the Maps app, through wi-fi at home are inaccurate? Both are showing the time zone and location of the home I just moved away from.

- For location, the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi router that are in Apple's database. It sounds like you took the router with yo and Apple has not yet updated their database. They update it via information obtained from iPhones. There is not way to tell Apple to update an individual router.
- Do you have the right time zone select in Settings>General>Date&Time? That is not part of the Automatic setting.

TS3920 iPad 1 w/ iOS 5 on Barcelona time zone location when Automatically Set Date/Time is turned on. How do I get all of my devices back to PST time?

After returning from an extended trip in Spain, my iPad 1 with iOS 5 retains the Barcelona location when "Automatically Set Date/Time". Most of my Apple devices are affected, how do I get all of my devices back to PST time? Thanks!

Turn off Automatically Set Date/Time and set your time zone.

Time Zone for a particular date/time and location

Hi,
Consider this:
You have some date stored somewhere (e.g. in a database), and it is stored in UTC. Now, you want to display that date in the local time at that particular time, e.g. with or without daylight savings depending on the time of year.
A more concrete example:
In Perth, Australia, daylight savings goes from Dec to Feb inclusive (approx).
Now, you have two dates, say 2007-01-01T12:00:00+0000 and 2007-05-01T12:00:00+0000.
You would like to display these dates as:
2007-01-01T21:00:00+0900 and 2007-05-01T20:00:00+0800 respectively.
However, given that the current timezone today (26th June) in Perth is +0800, they will be displayed as:
2007-01-01T20:00:00+0800 and 2007-05-01T20:00:00+0800 respectively.
Code for displaying in current timezone follows, as a starting point:
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.TimeZone;
public class TimeZoneTestMain
     * @param args
    public static void main(String[] args)
        // UTC timezone.
        TimeZone utcTZ = TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC");
        // Collection of dates.
        List<Calendar> dates = new ArrayList<Calendar>();
        // Create a date/time - 10 Dec 2005 12pm UTC
        Calendar cal1 = new GregorianCalendar(2005, Calendar.DECEMBER, 10, 12, 0);
        dates.add(cal1);
        cal1.setTimeZone(utcTZ);
        // Create a date/time - 10 Dec 2006 12pm UTC
        Calendar cal2 = new GregorianCalendar(2006, Calendar.DECEMBER, 10, 12, 0);
        dates.add(cal2);
        cal2.setTimeZone(utcTZ);
        // Create a date/time - 10 Apr 2007 12pm UTC
        Calendar cal3 = new GregorianCalendar(2007, Calendar.APRIL, 10, 12, 0);
        dates.add(cal3);
        cal3.setTimeZone(utcTZ);
        displayDates(dates);
    private static void displayDates(List<Calendar> dates)
        DateFormat utcDF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
        utcDF.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
        DateFormat waDF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");
        waDF.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Australia/Perth"));
        for (Calendar cal : dates)
            Date date = cal.getTime();
            System.out.println("UTC date: " + utcDF.format(date)
                               + ", WA date: " + waDF.format(date));
}Output is:
UTC date: 2005-12-10T12:00:00+0000, WA date: 2005-12-10T20:00:00+0800
UTC date: 2006-12-10T12:00:00+0000, WA date: 2006-12-10T20:00:00+0800
UTC date: 2007-04-10T12:00:00+0000, WA date: 2007-04-10T20:00:00+0800
I would like the output to be (daylight savings only came in for WA in 2006):
UTC date: 2005-12-10T12:00:00+0000, WA date: 2005-12-10T20:00:00+0800
UTC date: 2006-12-10T12:00:00+0000, WA date: 2006-12-10T21:00:00+0900
UTC date: 2007-04-10T12:00:00+0000, WA date: 2007-04-10T20:00:00+0800
Cheers

might be problem with jdk version which you are
using!!!
Mine is jdk 5You are right - just tried with 1.6.0_01-b06 and all is good.
For some reason it didn't occur to me that the other version of the JVM I was using wouldn't have the daylight savings rule, which would make sense since it was released before the daylight saving legislation was introduced by the WA state government!

Location of oracle database crash date time

Hi,
After system crash happens and oracle database is recovered from system crash where can i find the entry in oracle which shows the time of system crash?
I tried the following to get the system crash date and time:
When i start auditing a user by logon and the user is logged on to system oracle creates an entry in dba_audit_session table for user logontime in TIMESTAMP column, but if the system crashes in between when the user is logged in to the system then no entry is made in LOGOFF_TIME column of dba_audit_session table.
in followin example orcl user is being audited by logon.
orcl logsin the system at time 11:36 am and my system crashes.
when orcl logsin again after instance recovery logoff_time is blank, and shows a new entry of orcl.
SQL > select username,to_char(timestamp,'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mi:ss'),to_char(logoff_time,'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mi:ss') from dba_audit_session where username like 'TMS' order by timestamp;
USERNAME TO_CHAR(TIMESTAMP,' TO_CHAR(LOGOFF_TIME
ORCL 16-10-2012 11:36:16
ORCL 16-10-2012 11:46:33
My aim is to get the date & time of database crash.

Hi;
As mention here the only way to check alert.log, If Asm avaliable you need also check asmlog and related log files.
If you have OSwatcher on your system you can also check what process or wha happend on your server too

DID YOU KNOW?? - ABOUT DATE TIME CONVERTERS??

Hi All,
DID YOU KNOW??
That the Creator IDE provides a set of converters that you can use to convert component data. If your input field is for numbers, then you most likely need a converter. Converters are also good for formatting dates, times, and currency values. The standard converters, which you can use are located in the Converters section of the Components Palette.
The Date Time Converter
A Date Time Converter Converts between java.lang.String values in your component properties and data types of java.util.Date. The conversion usually applies to the property of a component used to display values and to pick up values entered by users, such as the text property of a Text Field component.
An example is binding a JavaServer Faces component to to a database column of type DATE. When you bind a component, the IDE normally identifies the data type for you and sets the appropriate converter when you establish a binding to the value property. However, you can also add this converter manually by setting the component's converter property.
* Note: If you are using an Oracle database, use the SQL Timestamp converter instead.

We would like to know the following from you :-
1) Why and How are you using Converters in applications you are building?
2) Did you face any challenges while using them?
3) Did you find any cool ways of using these or build any cool custom converters?
4) Any feedback you might want to share about converters to make it easier in using them.
Thanks for all your inputs and for joining in the discussion.

did you know that sqlTimestamp converter returns value of java.sql.Date type if you are using sun's oracle jdbc driver. It will return the correct type if you use oracle's jdbc driver. Not sure why this happen, though. Bug?

Cannot turn on "Show the day of the week" option in Date & Time

OS X Lion turns "Show the day of the week" option off each time I open that preference pane and after every reboot. My region in Formats tab of Language & Text preference pane is set to "Russia (Russian)". I've noticed that the problem doesn't appear when region is set to US (I didn't try others). Is there any known workaround, except changing my region preference?

Me too.
And I have a workaround, until Фззду fixes it finally:
1) Go to the ~/Library/Preferences, locate a file named com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist, open it with Plist editor (comes with XCode) or just with TextEdit.
2) There's DateFormat key in it, change it to "EEE H:mm", save the file.
3) Now Cmd-I (right click - Get info) on that file in Finder, and check option named "Locked" ("Защита").
System Preferences' Date & Time pane sets the aforementioned DateFormat to "ccc H:mm" when you tick the "Show the day of the week" option, while in Russian locale. And in English it becomes "EEE H:mm". The problem is that Sys.pref and even SystemUIServer (that shows the menu) processes somehow do not like the former value and erase it. After every relaunch of SystemUIServer (after reboot or being killed) tries to change "EEE" to "ccc" again (which would be cleared to nothing next time), that is why you have to lock the plist file.

The export file from a calc script - naming and date/time stamp

Here is a simple calc script to export data.
2 questions:
1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?
Fix (@Relative("Yeartotal",0),"Actual","Working",&ActualYear);
Dataexport "file" "," "C:\Exp_AW.txt" "#MI";
EndFix;
Edited by: user9959627 on Sep 7, 2012 11:25 AM

Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.

How do I to get the date/time stamp back on my texts in ioS7?

I've looked and looked to find an option and I can't seem to locate one. Does anyone know how to put the date/time stamp back...? It does appear in, but not consistently.

Swipe right to left and they will appear as you need them.

Date & Time in menu bar problem

Hi
OK, I cannot get my digital clock icon to display in the menu bar on top of desktop. I had it in the past but when I go to 'date & time' in system preferences, select box to click on it, and it will deselect itself somehow. End result, no digital clock in my menu bar.
Any suggestions please???
Thanks,
Maree

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ as the folder's location; when this folder appears, double-click the item Clock or Clock.menu inside and see if it appears in the menu bar.
If the clock appears, enter ~/Library/Preferences into the Go to Folder prompt and move the file com.apple.systemuiserver.plist in that folder to the desktop. Try adding the clock again.
If the clock does not appear or the item doesn't exist, use Pacifist to extract Clock.menu from your Mac OS X installation disks and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X.

Add applescript date/time output to Automator email Subject

I'm having a big issue with this new forum format (which is awful IMHO) but thats not my problem at hand...
My problem is getting the output of an AppleScript to show the correct time in a Lion (+latest patches) new Mail subject line.
This is the "Run AppleScript" action (working fine)
on run {input, parameters}
          set FutureDate to (current date) + (6 * days)
          set FutureDate2 to date "11:00:00" of FutureDate
          return FutureDate2
end run
This is "View Results" action (output as expected - during testing),
{date "Saturday, 1 September 2012 11:00:00"}
The "Set Value of Variable" action (has been set to, without marks),
Variable: <NextSaturday>
This is "View Results" Action output (still looking good - during testing),
{date "Saturday, 1 September 2012 11:00:00"}
And in the "New Mail Message" action (the rest of email not shown),
Subject = <NextSaturday> @ The Park
This should deliver a nice output in the actual new Mail message, however the Subject line time is now incorrectly shown....
Subject = 2012-09-01 10:00:00 +0000 @ The Park
I have tried this without the second "View Results" Action (part of fault finding) yet still have the same problem. Sending with the <Current time> Variable works correctly, meaning it probably has something to do with the Date/Time preferences in Lion; located in the UK but on BST at the moment.
Maybe I am missing something but after quite a bit of reading this should be possible, but I cannot understand how to overcome this issue.
All help gratefully receieved.

It does look like an issue with coercing an AppleScript date object to an ISO date string - you can just coerce the date to text in your Run AppleScript action. The way you set the time gives an error on my machine (note that as of AppleScript 2.1, a date string must exactly match one of the system date formats), it should be something like:
          set FutureDate to (current date) + (6 * days)
          set time of FutureDate to (11 * hours)
          return FutureDate as text

Retaining AVI date/time stamp during capture to pre 9.

I have pre 9. When capturing DV from my camcorder, how do I get pre 9 to add the clips time and date to the avi file properties like it does for jpg's. What I get is the date I captured it to the computer. If I add "date taken" to the properties shown, it remains blank.
I realize the time/frame stamp changes throughout the clip but it should be able to show the initial date/time stamp, for example. I sort these travel clips by oldest date first and need to be able to match them to their itinerary locations. I have a small freeware app that will strip the date/time stamp from the meta data and then I can adjust the time/date in "Organizer" but I have 100's of clips so I'd rather not go that way. I know there app's that will encode the date/time stamp visibly on the image during capture but I don't want that as I make DVD's from the clips. Do you have any advice or suggestions? I have Win 7, 64 bit, 3.2 ghz, 2 core. Thanks, Rob.

Premiere Elements won't do this.
You'll need a third-party program called DV Date, downloadable from the web.
