Set the Timer time?

I want to setup a timer to run on a schedule once every 24 hours starting at 12:00am.
When I set this up I assume the Timer is using the machines time, but I want to make it run against a NTP time I get and not use the users time.
Is there a way to tell the timer what time to use?

In this thread [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5370539&tstart=50] you will find a discussion about getting the time from a time server. It contains a link to a package that will be helpfull.
A Client class in that package computes the offset from the local time and the server time. You may use this offset to compute a local time that is synchronized with the server time.
If you fear that during the day your local machine's clock is somewhat slow (or fast) compared to your time server, you might trigger an early warning action, say 5 minutes before the requested time, and resynchronize the wake up call.

Does anyone know how to set the starting time for an audio book?

I am trying to restart a burn in iTunes that failed for an audiobook. I need to set the start time so it will not have to reburn the disks that were already completed. I cannot find out how to do that in version 11 if the book consists of more than one file. Anyone have an idea how to do this? Apple wants me to pay $20 for something that should be in the help menu.

UCCX 5.0(2)SR02 is the version
I attached a screenshot of what I am trying to use but I am not sure what to put as the value? I tried using "now" and "null" but no success.

How to set the interval time in the   JFormattedTextField? Pls Contribute..

Hi Frienz,
Hi have a following code in which i want set the interval time for the TextField by 15 min
So how it is possible please tell me out.
DateFormatter frmtr = new DateFormatter();
               SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
               frmtr.setFormat(sdf);
               frmtr.setAllowsInvalid(false);
               DefaultFormatterFactory factory = new DefaultFormatterFactory(frmtr, frmtr, frmtr);
               fmtToTime.setFormatterFactory(factory);

AFAIK there is no easy (pure java) way: either you exec something (depending on your paltform) or use native code. Appropriate privileges will be necessary.

18 Clicks to set the sleep timer

It takes me as many as 18 clicks of "Menu" on the scroll wheel, to go from a song window to set a sleep timer and back again. 6 from the song back to the Main Menu, 6 to set the sleep timer and back to the Main Menu (plus rotating the scroll wheel to set the time), and 6 to get back to the song window (I know could just let it snap back but that is not useful if I want to navigate more.)
Is there an easier way to regularly set a "stop play timer"?
I had hoped with newer Nano operating systems, Apple would have made the sleep timer (a "Stop Play Timer") setup like the Alarm Clock. If that were the case, then one could set the default state to always stop playing after a preset number of minutes. (A variable time setting would be preferable.)
If preset to 20 minutes, then every time I play the nano (hit the play section of the scroll wheel), the Nano would play for 20 minutes and stop. Alternately I could leave this in the "Off" state and the Nano would play straight through (as is the current default).
This would save battery life when the Nano is accidently activated. Most people I know do not routinely set the hold button and have accidently activated and undesirably depleted the battery.
I could see many other times this would conserve battery life.
This would be especially useful when listening to spoken word files. I currently make multiple folders with less files in them as a workaround.
Most important, I would not need to navigate the menu sub-windows to set this.
Thus if setting this while somewhat asleep, one click and done.
Currently I often end up not setting the timer which can be terrifically annoying, and battery wasteful. And take much time to navigate back to where I suppose I left off listening last prior to dozing or being distracted.

My Nano must be different than yours. On my unit, when I select that sleep function from the main menu, it puts the unit to sleep. It does not bring up the sleep timer. Are we talking about the same thing? Does yours bring up the sleep timer?
I find that sleep item to be a waste in that I hold the play button a few seconds when I want to put the iPod down. To bad that sleep function with the capacity to be set to "On" isn't a default play mode of a sleep timer.
For now, I have put the Clock in the main menu which saves a click and a scroll.
But still no default play mode of sleep timer.

You must be connected to a good wifi network for it to reach an outside time server.

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

How do I set the system time?

Hello
The system time can be read using System.currentTimeMillis(), but, how can I set it?
Thanks

several approaches:
you could use the OS function to set and call it via Runtime.exec().
For WIndows e.g.: "time 08:15:00" to set the system time.

How do I set the date/time on my Airport Express?

I am using an Apple Airport Express to connect to a wireless router in another part of the house. However, I am unable to set the date/time correctly and so the logs all start from Dec 13, 0hrs.
I have tried using an internet time server, but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab just under the row of icons
Settings for Time Zone and the option to Set Time Automatically are there
Click Update to save your new settings and restart the AirPort Express

HT1175 how do you set the airport time capsule as the primary base station rather than as a network client?

how do you set the airport time capsule as the primary base station rather than as a network client?

The Time Capsule needs to connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway type of device that is often furnished by Internet Service Providers.
So, the first logical question here would be......
What is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

The time on my iphone 5C is constantly changing, regardless of me setting the correct time manually or automatically, all iOS is up to date and phone is not damaged, any ideas?

The time will stay correct for an hour or so, then jump backwards for no reason. I have tried setting the time manually and automatically and still get the same problem, and have tried with wifi on and off and it still does it. All my software is up to date and tried contacting EE who said to ask Apple. Phone is about 11 months old and have had no previous problems.

Hi jennehbear,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Your time jumping backwards an hour sounds like an issue with the time zone. Take a look at this article to troubleshoot the issue.
