OS X 24-hour Clock (differences in OS X 10.5, 10.6)

I found out that if you set the Menu bar clock to display 24-hour in in OS X 10.5, it only affects that display. In menus and most everywhere else if you desire the time/date format to include 24-hour clock formatting, you must set up each parameter in 'International' in System Preferences (hours format, AM/PM). Once set there, the format applies universally (regardless how your Menu Bar clock is set). Here's how...
Setting for 24-hour clock in Leopard requires setting up the clock hours format (drop down pattern choices) to 00-23 hours (0-23 hours) AND deleting both 'AM' & 'PM' in the appropriate boxes.
Is there any more direct way to change the system clock from AM/PM 12-hour clock to 'military time' (aka 24-hour clock), in Leopard?
Curiously, in Snow Leopard (SL) all the above is changed by 'tweaks' in Clock settings that carry that selection to the international settings when the box for '24 hour clock' is checked. Also in SL, the (System Preferences>)Language & Text settings for Medium, Long, Full have become irrelevant (and don't affect the displayed info in menus or menu bar clock) when 24-hour clock is enabled in Time & Date. There now, if you select 24 hour clock, the AM/PM display becomes grayed out. Just some more interesting little 'tweaks'.
If you use use 24-hour clock (sometime soon) and need to set it with some machines on SL, and some on Leopard, the differences may get confusing.

Hi vegarskog, and a warm welcome to the forums!
While you may get help or a solution here, It's quite acceptable to start a new topic of your own, certainly feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, on this side it gets hard to respond to more than one person at a time & their particular situation, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...

Anyway, Is this a Gray Install Disc from a different Mac?
It really shouldn't be doing that.

Hi Tech,
Base on my knowledge, the time formats of this message will follow the system time format.
If your system time format is 12 hours clock, the message will be the same.
In addition, 12 hours clock will include "AM" & "PM" words, however there are no these words in your message.
I recommend you check your system time format again, the following screenshot for your reference:

Obvious power issue effecting all back plane jks. Popping HOURLY (clocked) thru speakers, lites up lamp on doc scanner. Has blown power supply once. "Genius" diag NTF twice B4 power supply blew. Still have same trouble. I made very CLEAR to Genius Bar that it was a hardware issue after they continued to trouble shoot software. I was referred to tier 2 who told me they only worked on SOFTWARE. Does anyone know a more qualified shop who can fix an OBVIOUS mother board issue tracing back to the power supply? I had the same issue with a 20" with 7 visits & had to literally take a video of the trouble before they could figure out the trouble was the video card. From reading the sheer number of posts of the same trouble descriptions going back to 2007, it's all too obvious the path to MSFT is being taken.

Can Web Intelligence display time in 24-hour clock format?

I would appreciate your kind help in answering this question: How can I change the time format in a formula so as to display time in the 24-hour clock format?
          Presently the CurrentTime() value format looks like this : 02:26:25 PM GMT-04:00
          Instead, I want it displayed in the 24-hour clock format like this : 14:26
I'm developing Web Intelligence reports in the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.2 InfoView environment.
I searched several places for an answer to this question, but had no luck.
I searched the BusinessObjects Enterprise InfoView online help document (i.e., Web Intelligence Java Report Panel); I also searched two web sites: the Experts-Exchange website, and the BOB www.forumtopics.com website.
I figured out that there is built in conversion function FormatDate() that can convert a date value into a text value, as for example : FormatDate( CurrentDate(); "mmmm dd, yyyy" )
However, I have not found an equivalent time function that would convert a time value into a text value of a specified format.

Anil,
     Perfect; you answered my question!
     The only thing that I had to do differently was to leave off the quote marks from the string "HH:mm:ss" when I entered it into the Custom Date/Time box of the Number Format dialog window.
     While on this subject of the Number Format dialog window, I saw that the Date/Time box already held the following string value:
                FULL_DATE
     So, thinking that I should leave that value alone, I entered the string "HH:mm:ss" in the box labeled "Undefined" next to the Date/Time box, instead. That didn't work. It just caused the webi report to display the CurrentTime() value as a long date, like this:
               Friday, July 9, 2010
     So then I replaced the string "FULL_DATE" (without the quotes) with the string "HH:mm:ss" (first with and then without the quotes). In the first try, the report displayed the time as "14:20:34"; in the second try, the report displayed the time as 14:20:34.
     Questions:
     Can you please tell me:
     1. What is the meaning and usage of the label FULL_DATE?
     2. In my attempts to get the time formatted the way I wanted it to look, I filled the Properties list (of the Number Format dialog window) with junk labels such as those listed below. How can I delete these labels?
               FULL_DATE; "HH:mm:ss"
               FULL_DATE
               FULL_DATE
               FULL_DATE; "HH:mm:ss"
     3. What is the purpose of the box labeled "Undefined" next to the Date/Time box?

Leading zeros with 24-hour clock?

I have my system preferences set to 24-hour clock.
How do I get the times to display with leading zeros?
For example, 06:45 instead of 6:45?

As I said before, you need to explore. I was able to add it in less than 30 seconds.
Let me try to explain. It is easy to do, but more difficult to explain.
Go to Sys Prefs/Int'l/Formats pane. Choose Custom in the Times area. Choose Medium in the Show drop down menu. (Medium seems to be the one used by OS X for the menu bar clock.) Here you can arrange the order of the different components as you like. Notice they have little arrows indicating drop down menus. Most of the optional formats offer a leading zero.
Even though you have formatted it in the Int'l pane, you must choose for some of your formating to show in the Date & Time/Clock pane.
Good Luck.

Hour clocks?

II'm looking to have a pie chart where I can show a one hour clock
i am helping out at a radio station and need to have an accurate template of when presenters play songs, talk, play ads and so forth. Is this possible in Numbers?
sorry if it's a dumb question. The iOS 8 version which I just got on my iPhone 6 plus has me amazed! Just hoping some one can give some simple
instructions for this novice!

Select both columns and insert a pie chart.
Select all segments (shift click) and set no fill.
Set Stroke to line
Labels choose data point names, not values
Adjust distance from centre to put labels outside the circle.
Copy the whole pie and paste. On the duplicate, remove wedge borders, hide labels, rotate 15 degrees.
Overlay the two pies.
I hope this screen shot shows.

Ian.

12 hour clock

hey all-
i just finished this tutorial from flash kit on how to
produce a 12 hour clock. i have it kinda figured out and was hoping
for some guidance on a few bugs. 1) how do you account for the
"0's"? say its 4:09pm. my clock reads 4 :9pm. how do you make it
where the single digit hours are to the rightside (sans 0 to the
left) and the single digit minutes read with a 0?
2) the month seems to be off, any reasons?
you can find the fla here:
www.chollowaydesign.com/clock.htm
thanks!

the month starts a 0 not 1 so january would be 0
for your minutes just say
if(minutes<10){
minutes = "0"+minutes;
well something like that

UWC gui bug nr 2 with 12/24 hour clock?

Hi
If you have a 24 hour clock in the UWC settings you can see that a mail arriving just before midnight can have the date "2005-4-12 23:55". But if you receive a mail just after midnight it can have the date "12:40" which is wrong. It should be "00:40". Opening up the mail and check it, it shows "Wednesday, April 13, 2005 0:40 am". I can live with that inside the mail we have a 12 hour clock. But the UWC seems to have it all wrong by showing "12:40" which is the wrong time no matter of 12 or 24 hour clock.
We have all products from JES2005Q1 + the 118540-10 uwc patch, msg patch 118207-28.
Is it a known bug or shall be logg a case?
Or did I miss anything here?
Thanks in advance

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:

HT2513 24 hour clock issue

I can not get my ical on my Macbook pro to show the time in the 24 hour clock. I reset the computer clock and did a restart, both my iphone and ipad show appointments in the 24 format...any ideas

Frank,
Check your setting in System Preferences...>Language & Text>Region>Times>Customize...
You will note Short/Medium/Long/Full fields. I am not sure which one fills iCal, because I have all of mine set for the 24 hour clock. Fill them all as I did or experiment with an individual setting.
Remove the AM/PM and enter/drag Hour/Minute to the time field.
Quit iCal before making the changes, and log out/in, or restart before opening iCal.

24-hour clock

Ever since I was in the army, of all the bad habits I picked up, the one that lingers is my personal preference for the time to be in 24 hour format. IE, it is not 1:49 PM where I am right now, it is 13h49.
I have always customised my computers to display the time in this format. Since OS 7 (my first experience of Mac OS) right up to Panther, this has been a simple thing to do.
Now, having upgraded to Tiger, I just cannot find a way to do this. Is it possible? Am I missing something?

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Date and Time select Clock. Check the checkbox for use 24 hour clock. Uncheck show AM/PM.

24-hour clock format?

In the previous version of Apple Discussions I was able to set the time displayed in 24-hour clock format, how can this be done in the current version of Apple Support Communities?

I understand your point, but this change has been in the works for a very long time, and the fact is, as you say, you have to release at some point to stress test. There aren't that many issues with iOS—the forums are mainly usable on iPads and so on—so while those details are being worked out, it's probably best to move this out of beta testing and into the real world, so here we are.
I happen to be very happy with the new format. I've been through at least three of these upheavals over the years, and imo, this is easily the smoothest transition we've seen. Many people working very long hours behind the scenes (props to Matt_K. here!) to smooth everything out and introduce many, many more features in the near- and mid-term, so be patient and give it a little bit of time (more than these few days anyway!)
Good luck!
