Setting a specific time zone for start/end times?

I tend to travel in clusters, and was frustrated on this current trip when all of my flight times were adjusted by 3 hours on my iPhone and iPad after landing in Florida from California. But they weren't "corrected" to the appropriate local times on any of the flights... which, of course, means that all of my alerts are at the wrong time!
Is there a way to specify which time zone an event occurs in? i.e., start time is PST, end time is EST
(I can see how to turn off automatic time zone changes, but that won't help me until I get home)
Thanks!
Chris

In Mac OS X Lion, it's iCal > Preferences > Advanced > check Turn on Timezone Support
In iOS 5, it's Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > TIme Zone Support > on
The start and end time are in the same zone (and that's the zone associated with the event), but iCal automatically adjusts the entry to local time in the daily and related views. There isn't a way to have a unique timezone for the start- and the end-time in a single event.

Can't view time or change start/end time of clip

Using imovie '09 and have several events that I imported from .mov files. imovie displays the total length of the clip but when I run the cursor over the clip in the browser the little timer window that pops up says "Created:" followed by the date/time that it was originally imported from a camera into .mov format. Every other file that I've imported directly into imovie from a camera gives me the running time of the clip as I run the cursor through the clip. I've tried to adjust the clip's date/time but it won't let me create a start/end time - regardless of what date/time I put in it assigns the same date/time to the start and end of the entire clip and doesn't show any running time so I can't mark/note specific times in the clip that I want to later select. Not sure why this is happening with these specific clips that were imported from existing .mov files - possibly because these clips were originally imported onto a pc and converted into .mov files, then imported into imovie after that? I still have the original tapes so I could import to imovie from scratch but would prefer not have to to do that as this makes up 20 hours of vid. Any solutions?

You might get a better response to your question over in the iLife > iMovie community. This forum is iMovie for iOS so most visitors here are working on a different platform, and while some may know about both products, many won't, me included.

Auto populate system time for start/end times in OTL Time card

Hi,
Is there an option of defaulting the time-card entry/exit times to system-time.
Say on the time-card a press of a button will default the start-time and end-time(and have these as read-only).
Is this possible in OTL with any preferences ?
The client wants to do-away with the time-clocks all together. If such a feature is available in OTL.
TIA,
VB

VB,
You can't add logic in layouts to auto populate the time based on clock. You will have to depend on a custom process to do it.
Also least time period of entry is day, not week. Look at the preferences setup of your test employee.

Multiple time zones for one calendar entry

I'm running iCal on Lion 10.7.4 , as well as the Calendar app on iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone and my iPad. When traveling, I sometimes have a starting time in one time zone and an ending time in another. (When flying from NY to CA, for example.) Is there some way I can have two time zones within a given event for cases such as this? I've turned on Time Zone support in iCal, but that only allows me to set a one-off time zone for an entire event.
Microsoft Outlook on a Windows machine allows for this; is there any way for me to do it on my Mac, iPhone, or iPad?

Hi,
You could set the event, then change the timezone to the destination one and then set the end time. When you switch timezones the start and end times should change in iCal (unless the event is set to floating).

How to set a specific time zone for time channel in DIADEM

Hi,
I'd like to know how to autmatically set a specific time zone for time channels in DIADEM.
For example, I have stored data with corresponding time channel in UTC time on a disk which was collected in another time zone. Now I want to analyze this data and I want the time channel to show the local time in the time zone where the data was collected, and not the time in the local time zone where the computer is located.
The time channel should also take site local summer/winter time into account. Now I'm running a script that handles it for me which adds or subtract hours according to my input. The problem is that I'm handling data from several different time zones and I'm not located in any of them and when you're running a lot of data over a greater time period, it's easy to make mistakes, especially when it comes to summer/winter time. Is there a any clever solution to this already implemented in Diadem that I have not found?

Hi hj77,
No, I'm sorry, DIAdem has no time zone functionality at all. I'm afraid you have no choice in DIAdem but to keep running your scripts. Summer and Winter time are truly tricky, because the rules for when the changes occur are different in different countries and states within countries and also can change from year to year within the SAME country (as they did in the US a few years ago).

Probelm Description:
To run the application I am using TWO_TASK to connect to the database. In our application we have to take care of time zones. For that in previous versions(NO TWO_TASK used) I used TZ unix environment variable, to get time zone dependent time wherever sysdate is used.
Now because I am using TWO_TASK, oracle is no more using users TZ settings.
Question : Is there any way I can make oracle to use the TZ environment setting

Thanks for replying Johnny!

Hi
I have started migration système to transfert from hold Macbook pro to New MacBook air
Application starter successfully for several hours.
But since more than 3 hours I got the message "transferring Time zone paramètres " with time left less than 1 minute.
Any recommendation or suggestion to solve it ?
Many tanks

If it has run for 3 hours it's probably done and you can quit Migration Assistant and reboot the new computer. In the future rather than using Migration Assistant I would recommend using Startup Assistant which tends to be a bit more reliable and does not create a new user account as MA does. If you're interested here is an article explaining Setup Assistant tips.

Trouble setting time zone for new location in networking

When I try to set a time zone for a new location it sets this as the time zone for all locations. I must be missing something. Any suggestions?
"Lily" my PowerBook G4 1.67GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2) 40GB iPod 3G

If you're doing this in the Date & Time PrefPane, then, IIRC, that's normal behavior. That controls the date and time settings for the computer. See Setting the date, time, and time zone description in Help.

Logging start & end time of map execution

Hello,
I want to log start & end time of execution of my map (OWB 11g), so I've created a table for this purpose and I used it in every map that I want to log time, twice; First for logging start time, and second for end time.
I pass a constant with SYSTIMESTAMP value through my log table and also name of my map. but the problem is, both of my records' time (start & end) are very near to each other (difference is in milliseconds!) however my map takes time for more than 2 minutes! So, I've changed my map Target Load Order to: [log table for start time] + [Main tables of my map] + [log table for end time]. I've set my map Use Target Load Ordering option True, too.
Why it doesn't work? Is there any better solution for logging every map execution time in a table, or not?
Please help me ...
Thanks.

To do that, I have created a view that lists all processes that are running or finished. The view contains fields:
process_name
process_type (plsqlmap, plsqlprocedure, processflow, etc)
run_status (success, error, etc)
start_time
end_time
elapse_time
inserted
updated
deleted
merged
You could insert into your log table using select x from this view after every map, or, how I do it, is to insert into log table after every process flow. That is, after my process flow is complete I then select all of the details for the maps of the process flow and insert those details into my log table.
Here is the SQL for my view. This is for 10.2.0.3. For
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW BATCH_STATUS_LOG_REP_V
AS

PROCESS_TYPE_SYMBOL,
(CASE

WHEN RUN_STATUS_SYMBOL IN ('COMPLETE_OK_WITH_WARNINGS') THEN 'WARNINGS'
ELSE 'NA'
END

ITunes Match on Apple TV ignores my custom start/end times on tracks

Some of my tracks in iTunes have custom start/end times set (to cut out skits and stuff). These set start/end times are respected by all my iTunes Match devices (iPod and desktop iTunes) except my Apple TV.

Hey guys,
I ended up here for having the same issue. iTunes Match playing the song for 20 seconds or so on Apple TV and then giving me error message saying iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later. No trouble shooting worked for me as it didn't for you either. After using my apple tv for several months and experiencing occasional glitches that are somewhat similar to this probelm I boiled it down to 2 possible reasons. 1) some kind of bug that is fixable with latest firmwares Apple releases. 2) problems with Apple's servers. My best guess for this particular problem is the server problems because everything was playing fine until yesterday (Saturday) and the current frmware was released few weeks ago. It is strangely coincedental that most glitches seem to appear over the weekends. About couple of months ago I tried to watch an episode from a show and it would tell me the show would be available to watch in 24 hours. The loading was painfully slow. The problem only lasted a weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem disappears tomorrow although I might be wrong.

Time Zone for Venezuela (-4:30 GMT)

Hello Apple friends.
I live in Venezuela and recenttly the governement changed the Time Zone for Venezuela from -4:00 GMT to -4:30 GMT.
In the Date & Time configuration tab we can select VET (Venezuelan Time) but this selection implies -4:00 GMT and not 4:30 GMT.
Please issue a patch to solve this problem. All the Mac computers in venezuela don't have the correct time.
Best regards.................

I am posting here for the first time just because of what Courcoul wrote.
Now, that has got to be the most useless and ridiculous reply I have ever read in my life. I will go into the sociopolitical discussion myself:
< political reply > % Please skip to the end of the post if you just need technical information
- That silly country you call Chavezlandia, happens to be the 3rd most important oil supplier to the US (hummm... lots of Macs there in the US doing business with Venezuela, right?). It is also the 5th largest oil producer and holds the 7th most important oil reserve in the world.
- What you call a "harebrained idea of a half-hour daylight savings time that goes counter to all international standards" was not invented in Venezuela. To start with, it is not a "daylight savings time". Venezuela does not have a such a thing. This is the official time that does not change throughout the year. Some other countries in the world use a half-hour time zone. Some regions of Canada and Australia also use half-hour time zones. And there are even 15 minutes time zones in some regions of the world.
Now, after all that, it wouldn't really matter if Chavezlandia was a silly country or the idea was harebrained or if there were only 2 Macs in the whole country. The fact that you're paying for your Mac (and big money, by the way) entitles you to have an up-to-date product that properly reflects the reality of the fast-changing world, whether you politically like it or not. It is not a special patch "for a country". It is a patch for every other person who, like me, happens to have friends, relatives AND BUSINESS in Venezuela.
</ political reply>
Now for the technical stuff: I just noticed that my clock widget was displaying the right half-hour time-zone for Venezuela without any patch or anything done from my side. I then changed the time zone of my Mac's clock just to see what happens and guess what... The new time zone is correctly displayed...
...it just works!

Contract Value Calulation based on Start & End Time

Hello Friends,
My client is into Vessel Hiring & the Vessels are given on hire for fixed period (with clear start & end dates & time).
For the above scenario we have a Periodic Contract to BIlling cycle which generates Invoices for every month. while creating the Contract we enter Basic Price as Day-Rate (Calculation type in Condition - O - Quantity - Daily Prices)
Thus the system automatically calculates the Basic Price Condition value based on number of days in any month.
Now the issue here is the client wants system to take Start & End time into consideration. In the Contract header - Contract Data tab we have developed two additional fields (Z-Fields) that capture start time & end time for every Contract.
So, we want system to calculate the Basic Price Condition value based on the Contract start date + Contract Start time.
Example :
1. Contract start date - 25.03.2010 & Start time = 12:00 noon. Basic Price = Rs. 10,000 per day.
2. In the Monthly Invoice, system would calcualte the Basic Price as Rs. 70,000 (7 days i.e. 25.03.2010 to 31.03.2010)
But here the client wants system to consider Start Time & determine Value as Rs. 65,000 as the Contract started on 12:00 noon on 25.03.2010.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?
I guess we should develop some routine (in VOFM) & apply it in Pricing Procedures.
But can some expert guide me on the logic of the routine & exactly where to apply the same in Pricing Procedure...
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Hi,
Develop routine and make combination
if start date is xyz and start ime is less that 12 then price is so on so
if date start date is xyz and satrt time is more that 12 then price is so on so.
Hello I am not ABAPer, still tried to suggest you,don't mind for my suggestion

Adjusting Start / End Time on Apple TV

Hello everyone,
In iTunes, we have the ability to adjust the Start / End time of a song or video by right-clicking the media > Get Info > Options. Then when we playback the media the next time, it will use the settings to determine how far into the media it should start and stop. Is there any way for these settings to get passed through to the AppleTV?
- Thanks

I would also like an answer to this! The original Apple TV applied the custom Start and Stop times, however the new one ignores them and plays the whole video file! Very annoying! Any solutions out there?

I'm setting up my Time Capsule for the first time and cannot get an internet connection throughWAN connection

I'm setting up my Time Capsule for the first time and can't get an internet connection via ethernet cord

So new AC model TC??
What modem is it? Pure cable modem .. did you power cycle the modem ( OFF for at least 30min..)??
This is essential to lose the old setup and start afresh.
How have you setup the TC?
Did you try just bridge to existing router? If it doesn't get an IP and you just bought it, possible it is faulty.
Lots more details.. really important things like did the ethernet connectivity leds go on.. both the TC port and the modem port - front ethernet indicator should light up..

Room Booking - unavailable if start / end time is :15 or :45

Hi all,
First apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
Due to the way our school day runs, we need to be able to book rooms from :15 and :45 (e.g. 10.15 to 11.15, 11.45 to 12.45).
You can change the start / end time manually but if you do the rooms do not show as available and the suggested times only work for :00 or :30.
Is there a way to change it so the rooms can be booked for a wider variety of times?
I've googled this endlessly and the only thing I can really find that might be applicable is changing the timeincrement but I think that only applies to the calendar view and the start / end time showing 15 minute increments instead of 30 as default but
does not have any impact on room availability.
Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks a lot

Hi Chris,
It is by design and we cannot change the time slot displaying. Your understanding would beappreciated.
Besided, it is recommended to add an End date for a recurrent meeting.
