Months/ days of the week not in English?

Hi,
When connecting my iPhone with iTunes for the first time, it seems that it picked up the location from my computer’s regional and languages, and as a result the menus on my calendar and weather applications, as well as the time on the home screen (month, day) - are in different language. Everything related to days of the week and months – not in English.
I’ve changed the main setting from the control panel, installed the iTunes again, but I can’t find how I could change it for the iPhone. (The location within the iTunes store is correct.)
Any suggestions?

Thanks Phil,
I don’t know how it got messed up… Seems ok now, but this is how it looked like:
Language – English
Voice control – Английски
Keyboards 1 – Bulgaria ON
Region Format – Bulgarian

    Hi
    Need some help, this code below doesnt fit the requirement.
    For this program, i need to: take in day, month,year of a date as int argument, return the day of the week for the date entered in App()
    In Main: call the App() to get the day of the week to display when user enter the date in dd/mm/yyyy
    StringTokenizer is required for this program.
    - How can the arguments pass back to main by returning of month & day of the week?
    - Program cant take in int and return as string
    - Date cant display day of the week
    Code

    You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

  • Wrong starting day of the week printing calendar in month view

    I'm trying to print a month view calendar with the weeks starting from Monday.
    In "Preferences" -> "General tab" ->"Start week on:"  I've set Monday, and it is properly viewed in Calendar, but when I try to print it in the preview I see Tuesday as first day of the week.
    This happens on many MacBook that I've tried, all with Yosemite and Italian regional settings.
    The only way to resolve this issue is to open "System Preferences" ->"Language & Region" and change the "First day of the week:" on Sunday in all my "Preferred Languages" (both Italian and English), to have the printing preview of a calendar starting on Monday!
    Is there an other way?
    Is this a bug that should be submitted to Apple to get a "patch" on future releases of Mac OS X?
    I know, it is a tiny issue, but annoying.

    Hi,
    OMG! How bizzarre, another quirk of the "Region Fortmats" setting.
    *Settings > General > International > Region Format*
    If I set mine to U.K. (where I happen to live), Monday is apparently the first day of the week on the calendar and I have no 12/24 hour clock option.
    If set to U.S., Sunday is the first day and the 12/24 hour clock option is available.
    I guess changing the Region is your answer.
    How odd! Not to say irritating.

  • Ho do I repeat an event monthly but on a specific day of the week?

    I need to repeat an event every month on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. The only monthly repeating option that I see will put it on that same day every month, by the date and not by the day of the week. Anybody know how I do this?

    Make your event on eg 20th Feb. Edit it, select Repeat/Custom , select Monthly, and 3rd Wednesday will be a selectable option.

  • Weekdays option in alarm does not correspond to first day of the week option in calendar

    I am based in Oman where the week is Saturday to Thursday and Friday is weekly off instead of Sunday. Inspite of changing first day of the week to saturday in calendar option and choosing weekdays option in Alarm, it rings on Fridays and does not ring on Sundays. Its very upsetting. Can anyone suggest a solution for this?? Thanks in advance.

    i just did this on my Blackberry curve 8330 to make sure my answer was correct, and what i was able to do was.
    Go to your calender, select the first day you would like it to start i i will start monday for example, Recurrence set to weekly. when selecting weekly another option will appear below it ( S M T W T F S ) highlight and select a letter that marks the day  Saturday , Monday , Tuesday Ect.  and the letting will become BOLD meaning it is selected. Thus giving you the option to select any , and as many days per week you wish, and have the recurrence as often as you want

  • Showing the Date (month & day) in the Menu Bar, Not just the Day of the Wee

    Since upgrading to 10.5 from 10.4, I've noticed that the menu bar no longer shows the date (month and day, it just shows the day of the week.
    Is there a way to get the menu bar to show the month and day again as it did in 10.4?

    Tiger had to be changed in the same way as Leopard.
    Start by opening the International Preferences panel, and clicking the Formats tab.
    In the Dates section, click Customize. Click the Show pop-up and select your choice of Short, Medium, etc. Now place the elements you want in the small "work area," by dragging and dropping them from the Date Elements section. Once placed, you can click on some elements to see other options (Wednesday or Wed, for instance). Once you've built the date string you want, click once in the work area, and hit Command-A then Command-C to select the string and copy it. Now click Cancel to close the window without making any changes.
    In the Times section, click Customize, and set the Show pop-up to Medium. In the small work area below the pop-up, place the curser where you want the date elements to start, and click to position the cursor. Now hit Command-V to paste the elements you just copied. You can further add characters and spaces to customize the look. If you want to remove an element (i.e. the year), click on it and use the Delete key. Click OK, and you'll see the results in the menubar.

    Dear apple,
    The governments of Saudi Arabia has changed its weekend from THR&FRI to FRI&SAT,
    Therefore the start day of the week became SUN. unfortunately all Iphone user could not adjust this change on their I phones .
    So will you  please facilitate us on this matter.
    Regards

    Give apple feedback regarding this.
    For a temporary fix, change your region? Get a 3rd party Calendar app that fits your needs?
    I assume your current region is set in the photo?
    If so, pick a region that has a start day of Sunday. (either historically or known for the present)
    Note, with changing your region, it will change the default phone number prefix/country code for new contacts and addresses. (calling and SMS is not affected)

  • Getting Day of the Week

    I have a table with a bunch of columns with random stuff in them.
    One of the columns is a date + time column that has this kind of format:
    - 11-01-24 00:00:00.000000000
    - 11-01-27 02:00:00.000000000
    Now, as you can see, the first few numbers are the year, month, and date, the next few numbers are the hour, minutes, and second, but the last part, well, I'm honestly not too sure; I took over this database a while ago, so that format is a bit alien to me (if someone can clarify this, it'd be great; not important, though).
    Given this format, is it possible to get the day of the week?
    I know for some scripting and programming code, you can usually find this kind of information by using some sort of date function, but I can't seem to find one for Oracle SQL.
    It would be something like:
    SELECT *
    FROM <table>
    WHERE some_function(date_period) = 'SAT'
    Thanks a lot for any feedback!

    Hi,
    As Centinul said, the function you want is TO_CHAR, and here's one way to use it:
    WHERE   TO_CHAR ( date_period
              , 'DY'
              , 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH'     -- If needed
              )   = 'SAT'This assumes that the data type of date_period is TIMESTAMP (or DATE).
    The third argument to TO_CHAR is optional. You can skip it if you're certain that Saturday in your session is called 'Saturday', and not 'Lördag' or 'Sabado', or something in any of the other languages that Oracle supports.
    You can use TO_CHAR wherever a string is allowed. For example:
    SELECT  TO_CHAR ( date_period
              , 'DY'
              , 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH'     -- If needed
    FROM    table_x;To see the different things that you can put in the 2nd argument to TO_CHAR, look up "format models - date" in the SQL Language manual:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/sql_elements004.htm#sthref396

  • Report Request - Tickets by day of the week

    So there are plenty of reports that show data based on past X days, but as far as I can see, none break it up into by days of the week.
    Example, For the last month, how many tickets were closed on Monday, Tuesday, by what Tech, in which Category/Location/Custom attribute.
    Could someone better than I make this happen?
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    I am not sure about your help.  Text variable is part of the header of a column and how is it possible to use the text variable as part of the result area.  I want the day to be part of the line item in the report.
    Appreciate if any one can provide their thoughts and input.

  • Oracle returning incorrect day of the week

    Hi there,
    I have a table named Performance, which includes a date field named PDATE, some other attributes such as title, etc, and a field named WEEKDAY, which includes the numerical value for the day of the week. Here is an example:
    PER#

    I went to verify the day of the week in a calendar (in fact I checked more than one) and I noticed that the Weekday value seems incorrect. For instance, the 2nd of March was a Tuesday so I would expect WEEKDAY to say 3 (considering Sunday to be the 1st day of the week, which is the universal norm), or perhaps 2 (considering Monday to be the 1st day of the week).
    First thing that came to mind is, since the WEEKDAY is a number field which has been pre-populated, the person who populated it made a mistake.
    So I went to verify this by running a query that would give me the correct day of the week by extracting it from the PDATE field:
    SELECT DISTINCT pdate, EXTRACT(year from pdate) year,
    to_char(to_date(pdate,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'DY') weekdaycalc, weekday
    FROM ops$yyang00.Performance
    ORDER BY pdate
    And to my astonishment, I got the following table as a return:
    PDATE
    YEAR

    As you can see, all of the above WEEKDAYCALC values are incorrect, and seem to match the incorrect values in WEEKDAY.
    I could perhaps understand some weird WEEKDAY numbering if there is some general database setting where I could specify any day of the week to be the first day. However, I can't think of any logical explanation on why Oracle would call a Tuesday Sunday.
    Could someone please advise what I mght be doing wrong? This is driving me insane!
    Thank you in advance for all the help and support.

    The interesting bit here, is the original WEEKDAY field, which clearly has been created with the same mistake I did (this whole table wasn't created by me). I reckon I spotted a design bug.
    Regards,
    P.
    No; you're still calling TO_DATE on something that is already a DATE, and you're still using an implicit conversion (only now you're using a format such that the current NLS settings don't cause you to get punished.  If your DBA changes the NLS settings next week, then you will have similar errors again.)
    If you want to see what day of the week pdate is, then use:
    TO_CHAR (pdate, 'DY')
    or, to make it NLS-independent:
    TO_CHAR (pdate, 'DY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH')
    This is simpler than what you posted, it's more efficient and easier to debug and to maintain, and it also gets the results you want in all cases.
    One more time: TO_DATE, as the name hints, converts something (a VARCHAR2, to be precise) TO a DATE.  If pdate is already a DATE, then what do you need to convert?  You're implicitly converting a DATE to a VARCHAR2, then explicitly converting that VARCHAR2 back to a DATE, and then calling TO_CHAR.  That's 3 function calls (1 of them error prone) where only 1 is needed.
    Also if you ever have to reconcile 2-digit years with 4-digit years (and, again, in this problem you don't) the correct way is to convert the 2-digit year to a 4-digit year, not vice-versa.
    Calling Tuesday the 1st day of the week could make sense in a particular application.
