Quick time zone question

I am using Java to do some date/time formating and have a quick question.
Is Indiana's timezone "IET"? I know most of Indiana doesn't observe daylight savings time, but they are eastern when things are normal... IET seems to produce the correct time, but I just wanted to double check before I make any assumptions. Thanks for the info.

Actually it is "America/Indianapolis". Those three-character abbreviations have been deprecated because they are ambiguous (both North America and Australia have "eastern" times, for example).
If you have a Java 1.4 SDK, then have a look in this directory:
C:\j2sdk1.4.1\jre\lib\zi
(modify according to where you actually installed the SDK); each file in that directory tree represents a timezone.

Start/End Time zone question

Good afternoon:
This I understand: If I have time zone support enabled in iCal and I have an event in the Chicago at 10:00 am, I enter it in as 10:00 am and mark the time zone as CST. That way, when my Treo and I are in Chicago, the event appears on my Treo at 10 as it should and not at 9. (EST, where I live.)
When I travel, I use my calendar to enter the flight times.
For example, I might enter an event like this. "USAir Flt. 235, PHL to LAX" I would use 11:00 am as the start time and set the end time as 2:30. The 2:30 is PST and not EST.
Is there a way to show that an event can start and end in different time zones?

Good Afternoon:
Yes, I can enter a travel time as a beginning and and end seperately, but that doesn't allow me to see the duration as occupied.
I know I must sound like a loon, but I like that if you designate an event as taking two hours, those two hours are "marked or occupied" on my calendar and scheduling something else during the occupied period is easily seen as a conflict. It may seem odd, and I guess it is, that I might accidently schedule an event at the same time I was going to be in the air, but it is really a matter of wanting all the events in iCal to be treated the same way....as events/activities/meetings that consume time instead of a singularities that take place in an instant.
Does that make sense?
USAir Flt. 235, PHL to LAX is a six hour event...not something that happens only at the instant of 11:00 am. I would like to be able to see it as that and have it make sense.
Perhaps I should turn time zone support off, then it wouldn't matter, it just seems like ti should.

Quick Time Machine Question.

Hi guys, new to the Mac interface (been a windows user all my life), but needless to say I can see what all the fuss was about (OSX is amazing). My question is in regards to time machine. If I erase something off of my Mac, when TM does a backup does it also erase that file off of TM? I ask this because I want to free up some space on my mac's HDD, but I don't want those files to erase off of TM. Thanks!

you shouldn't use TM for archiving purposes. use a separate drive for that. TM will not erase those files immediately. You'll be able to use TM to restore those files but only for a while. Overtimes TM erases old backups when it runs out of space on the backup drive. Therefore it's not a suitable archiving solution.

Quick time error -8971

I just received a video from a friend in a mpg4 format. I have WXP Home and Quick time version 6.5.02. When I try to open this file I receive an error message: the file cannot be opened quick time does not recognize it. The error is -8971
I believe that I probably need to upgrade Quick time: my question is should I install my older version? I had also purchased the Pro version at the time: do I need a new key to activate a newer version?
I would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks

Question Mark in Quick Time Please Help :(

On certain websites, such as this one, when I try to play a video, a question mark appears over the quick time logo and it doesnt play the video. Ive searched for answers on here but I cant figure it out
Thanks for the help

No matter what you do you'll get the same result. Use another app. to view quicktime on the web. and don't get the pro quicktime, it's as bad. I don't use quicktime any more even in itunes. If you down load to an Ipod, use Isquint, 3 full lenth movies in less than 1 gig on Ipod.!! try that with quicktime! Try even copying to anything else than your computer.

Funny, my iTunes still has AirPlay capability without AirPlay Mirroring active.

How to import mpg files & quick time question

Hello. I found some previous answers here and followed them, which brings me to now. I bought the QT 6 MPEG-2 PLAYBACK-MAC OS X-INT plug in to allow me to bring mpg files from my sony digital camcorder. I keep getting a message that 'this file is not a movie file'. I don't know how to tell if the MPEG-2 plug in is installed, how can I find out in Quick Time? I have Quick Time Pro.
What application would be best for me to start editing movies? I have IMovie 6.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hi Trib and welcome to the forums!
Mpeg2 is the standard compressed final delivery format of a DVD, and is not intended for further editing.
You need to convert your mpeg2 files to a DV stream that you can edit in iMovie 6.
For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin which you have already installed.

Time Zone Offset - Date Format question

I'm wondering if any one knows how to display the time zone offset of a date in the following format "[+-]HH:mm." More so... I need the date/time in the ISO 8601 format "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss[+-]HH:mm", where the last [+-]HH:mm is the hour representation of the offset. Here's some sample code...
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
Calendar rightnow= Calendar.getInstance();
// So if system date/time is February 14, 2002 at 1:15:00 PM EST, this would produce "2002-02-14T13:15:00"
System.out.println("Current Datetime" + sdf1.format rightnow.getTime());
How can I get the timezone offset appended to my output in a [+-]HH:mm format. So, the above date needs to look like "2002-02-14T13:15:00-05:00". I can get the offset in milliseconds by doing the following:
int offset1 = rightnow.get(rightnow.ZONE_OFFSET) + rightnow.get(rightnow.DST_OFFSET);
But how can you get this representation into the [+-]HH:mm format?
thanks in advance,
stophman

Try something like this:import java.text.* ;
import java.util.* ;
static public String formatISO8601(Calendar cal) {
     * create ISO 8601 formatter for Calendar objects
    MessageFormat iso8601 = new MessageFormat("{0,time}{1,number,+00;-00}:{2,number,00}") ;
    // need to shove a date formatter that is cognizant of the
    // calendar's time zone into the message formatter
    DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss") ;
    df.setTimeZone(cal.getTimeZone()) ;
    iso8601.setFormat(0, df) ;
     * calculate the time zone offset from UTC in hours and minutes at the current time
    long zoneOff = cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) + cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET) ;
    zoneOff /= 60000L ; // in minutes
    int zoneHrs = (int) (zoneOff / 60L) ;
    int zoneMins = (int) (zoneOff % 60L) ;
    if (zoneMins < 0) zoneMins = -zoneMins ;
    return (iso8601.format(new Object[] {
                                cal.getTime(),
                                new Integer(zoneHrs),
                                new Integer(zoneMins)
}

Question about Time-zone

I'm in dilemma, whether i need to Re-schedule Reports after changing Time-zone in infoview using "My current time-zone is" option?
Please suggest me.
Appreciate your help.

Why would you need to reschedule?
Report schedules are based on the Time Zone of the Web Server and not every individual user that schedules a report.

No image, just sound - also for Quick Time questions

Hey everybody!!
I am editing a movie on Final Cut Pro, and I use Quick Time Pro to capture the clips and source them to FCP. The type of recorder I am using is an HDV, and up to a couple of days ago, things ran smoothly.
Then I started having problems with my Mac, of a different kind, and I had a friend of mine RESTORE my system. After that, I can't work on my film anymore, cause the Quick Time files from Capture Scratch only play sound, and have a blank screen. Every time I try to open them a window box appears, telling me that Quick Time is missing some components, and cannot play the clips properly. I tried downloading most of these programms, like Divx and On2, but the clips still can't play. I also tried erasing and re-installing Quick Time, but this doesn't seem to work either.
I must have edited and delivered this video by tommorow, so what do I do??
Please advise.
Thanks.
Stef.

First, you should NOT be capturing your clips via QT Player - use FCP itself to capture. Otherwise you have no logging information. This is bound to create problems for you, and today's issue could be a byproduct of this workflow.
Second, once your system was restored and updated, the system and FCP software versions are almost certainly different. Different versions of software produce different results, and one possible outcome is that you cannot view clips, as the codecs have changed. So - what version of OSX and FCP were you using before the restore, and what versions are you using now?

Effect of time zone change on scheduled appointment times

I have had a Palm Treo 650 for three years. It had its shortcomings, but the calendar was well-designed. I could be in the Pacific time zone and arrange an appointment in New York for 1:00PM on a certain day. When I arrived in New York, the Treo's time had automatically changed to Eastern time and the appointment time was still 1:00PM on the calendar.
I just bought a BlackBerry 8330 because Verizon's network coverage is far superior to ATT's at places where I spend most of my time. The BB has excellent web access and email, but the calendar has a problem. If I were in the Pacific time zone and set an appointment for New York at 1:00PM and then traveled to New York, the BB's time would change to Eastern, but the appointment time would also be changed to 4:00PM. This can be a trap that can cause me to occasionally miss an important meeting. I can't afford this risk. I'm likely to return the BB and look for another PDA.
*My Question: Is the iPhone's calendar like the Treo's or the BlackBerry's?*

Thank you for the quick replies. It is not totally clear to me, but it sounds as though the iPhone may be the same as the BlackBerry. If so, then I have to set a time AND make sure that, at the time the appointment is entered, the time zone is properly set for the location of the meeting. The Treo's meeting time was independent of the time zone that was in effect when the appointment time was entered. There was no special setting for it, but there is a setting to either keep the desired time zone in effect regardless of where the phone was located or to let the network adjust the time zone whenever a trip was made. It automatically took the network time from wherever it was so the clock was always right and the alarm for an upcoming meeting would go off at the proper time even if the appointment was entered while set for another time zone. The statement "Time Zone Support always shows event dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars" doesn't really say how it affects previously set appointments. It will only become clear when someone who travels a lot says how it works in practice.

Publishing iCal - time zone issue & sending invites - Entourage?

Hi there,
Am currently looking into using iCal as our internal calendar system, and just have a couple of quick questions:
1. I've been mucking around with publishing a test calendar on .Mac, and there seems to be a problem with the time zones. I'm in Sydney, Australia, and my System Prefs on my local machine are set to this time zone, and on my .Mac account I've set them to Sydney, Australia as well. However, when I publish the calendar, an event that's in my calendar on my local machine at 10.30am ends up published as occurring at 6.30pm? Is there a preference setting I've missed somewhere?
2. Is there any way to use Entourage for sending invitations to iCal events? Even though I've set the Default E-mail Reader in Apple Mail as Entourage, whenever I try to invite a user to an iCal event, Apple Mail is launched. Why isn't it recognising my preference settings?
Thanks,
Claire.

I am not sure about No 2, but someone clever here might help.
So far as the first one goes, have a look at the orginal event (in iCal) and see whether it 'thinks' it's in Sydney. (I am guessing that you might have imported the data from elsewhere, so if it doesn't show properly you could try: a. making a positive change to the correct timezone, or b. deleting it and recreating the correct event from scratch in iCal. Then republish and check the web version. If this is getting somewhere, I can explain what I think is happening.)

HT4576 I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip before I go, and see those local times in the places I visit, but also be able to set new appointments while I am traveling, in the local times. Can I do this with Time Zone Support? If not,

I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip on my iPhone 4S before I go, and have them appear as I put them in (for the local time) when visiting other countries. I also want to be able to adjust times and set up new appointments when I am overseas for the local time. Can I do this using the Time Zone Support or any other way?
Basically I want to do what I can do with a piece of paper - write down the time for when I will be there, and have it viewable when I am there, but also be able to put down new times while there.

Hi.
Regarding your question about reverting back- yes, I think you can. If you make a backup of your current configuration in Server Admin (by dragging the configuration file to your desktop- cool, no?) then you can load that one back in should your configuration not work. If you have the manual from Apple it should describe this process.
Network speed post-op? I don't think you will need to worry. Even using home directories stored on our OS X Server there is no network slowdown (that you can notice or that impacts the wider LAN in any case). It shouldn't slow down access to files, applications (which still come from the local drive anyway) or individual internet connections (even with filtering).
In our experience some of these things have actually got faster- but a lot of that is user perception. Same goes for people who will know you have configured the server and that they are now accessing files through your network from the server, and who really think it is slower. File coming from your local hard drive will always be quicker- but network access isn't that bad that it will make you barf and run in the opposite direction.
Something to look at: connection speed between clients and switching technology in your office. In other words, what kinds of switches are you using, what line speed have you got (100MB/s?) and is the connection from your server to the switch gigabit? Make sure it is.
Enjoy
