Show date and time but hide seconds

In grid view I like having the date and time shown on each slide but I find seeing the seconds a distraction.
Does anyone know of a way to display the hours and minutes but NOT seconds?
THANKS

No such option, unless you want to paste some tape over the seconds on your monitor

Show date and time in menu bar won't stay selected

Using 10.6.7 with all updates as of the time I am writing this.
Show date and time in menu bar is unselected and unselectable. When I select it (click it) it will unselect itself. I will see the checkmark for 1/2 a second, but won't stay selected.
I've reparied permissions in the Disk Utility as described by a similar post (on an older version of the OS) with no luck.
At a little bit of a loss. Spending the mandatory 30 minutes with various forms of Google searches with no luck.
Looking for new ideas other than an OS restore.

ok, than i have to use zzzz format, as z won't help in my case, so i have to use zzzz which display descriptive value like, Indian Standard Time i.e. ISTPer the javadocs there is a very specific reason why that is a problem especially if you intend to support many timezones in one application.
"+For compatibility with JDK 1.1.x, some other three-letter time zone IDs (such as "PST", "CTT", "AST") are also supported. However, their use is deprecated because the same abbreviation is often used for multiple time zones (for example, "CST" could be U.S. "Central Standard Time" and "China Standard Time"), and the Java platform can then only recognize one of them+."
Thus you have one single case where there can be many and moreover it can change (twice a year I believe.)
There is a standard source for this information although when I tried it it appears to not work.
If the app only needs to display one zone then provide a configuration value that allows a user to overload the display value.
If the app needs to display many values then you MUST inform business users of the problem because there are duplicates and they, not you, need to decide specifically what happens in those cases.

TS1368 My account keeps asking for Region but the drop down menu lists Cities in China. I can,'t cange the region in my account because it asks me to check the date and time but these are correct. Any answers please?

Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

How do I Show date and time when I hover over clip like in iMovie

How do I get FCPX 10.6 to show date and time when I hover over a clip? I can so it in I movie and as I move over my clips the date/time is shown. I need it for that specific point in the clip not just the record start time.

I realize that my needs are outside of the normal editing workflow. I am a private investigator and last week I shot over 6 hours of surveillance video on a Sony video camera. Within this 6 hours of video there is at most 2 minutes of actual footage of my subject. So what I wanted to do was just import the parts of the clip I want, so I can avoid importing the whole 6 hours, and then add a text title of some sort that shows the date/time. My problem is that once I get this clip I have easy way of establising the TOD short of taking the clip capture time and then counting up using the SMTPE Timecode. In this regard iMovie makes it easier because I can just hover over the clip and see the TOD of that specific frame. iMovie on the other hand would force me to import the whole 6 hour video so i'm left moving between both programs which is less than ideal.

How do i show date and time info of videos in Iphone as they appeare before import in iPhoto?

How do i show date and time info of videos in Iphone as they appeare before import in iPhoto? or even as they appear on the iPhone itself? The selection on tool bar for show info is greyed out.

Welcome T G Brown to the  iMovie boards..
the socalled timestamp is within the imports.. if you select a clip in iM and hit the key combo Apple-I, you can see recording time and date.
unfortunately, this info isn't delivered to any software. Bruce Gee (geethree.com, excellent plug-in maker) told us, there's no 'API' he could use for such a feature...
same on the pro side, read this discussion at the FinalCutExpress boards:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7982935
Forum member Ian offers a solution with a 3rd party app ....
so: pen&pencil and typing timestamp manually into any 'Title' seems to be your only option...

Why do some events show date and time in ical?

Some events show the date and time, others show only the time. I cannot find a setting in preferences to have it be one way or another. I do enter events both on the computer and also my iphone 4s, but that doesn't seem to be the difference.

My laptop died last night and the date and time was set for 1/1/2000. I went to change the date and time and cannot. For some reason when i pull up system preferences it will not load date and time but will load other stuff. Please help.

Last night my laptop died and the time and date was reset. I cannot acess date and time preferences to change it and my laptop is acting really weird. My CD drive is broken so there are no options to put in a cd. Please someone help i need my laptop for school and cannot afford another.

Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. Resetting the NVRAM and / or SMC will not fix it, and if the system has a preposterous date you may not be able to open System Preferences to correct it. This dilemma may or may not be addressed in a future OS X update.
If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 8 February 2014 then reverse the mm and dd values.
Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
mm = month
dd = date
hh = hour (24 hour format)
nn = minutes past the hour
yyyy = year
Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is February 8, 2014 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
sudo date 020821002014
or
sudo date 0208210014
Either one will work. If you enter nonsensical values the system will attempt to parse the entry correctly.
To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.

Chat Messages do not show date and time of buddies logging in and out.

If I keep my buddy chat with friends open, it used show the date and time that they log in and out. Now after updating to Yosemite, it does not and also will show the last message exchange as something way older that the last chat session. Not the actual last exchange. Why?
Is there a setting that I can keep the date and time log. It's important for work conversations. Thanks.

Does Anyone Know Of The fxscript Function In FCE That Shows Date And Time?

iMovie reads the Date and Time of a clip but FCE does not.
Simon, Piero and I suspect there must be some undocumented fxscript function that could do this.
If anyone has any information, please let us know.
Ian.

Thanks for all your replies.
This was the info I got from Joe:-
"As far as I've been able to tell, it's not possible to grab much of any meaningful information from FXScript. Timecode and Reelname are just about all FXScript knows about. And ReelName isn't particularly useful.
It's theoretically possible to get this information into a generator using a text filter, XML and a shell script, but I wouldn't exactly call the process convenient or intuitive.
Sorry, this has come up dozens of times over the past five years. I'm hoping this kind of thing is possible with FXPlug."
It doesn't mean a lot to me but I have passed it on to the aforementioned FXScript-writers who will no doubt understand it better.

Iit is setting date and time but keeps going in circle . but never sets up

Try to use apple tv. But when turn it on. It is setting Date and time? But the cursur is just going around and around and nothing happen for a while. It doesnt set the time or date, so can watch apple tv.?why?

I have had this frustrating problem twice. Combinations of resets, restores, restarts of routers etc have been generally unsuccessful.
My Apple TV2 has full internet connectivity (through a internet cable, connected to a D-Link gigabit switch, connected to a Generation 4 Apple Time Capsule, connected to a high speed Comcast ARRIS modem).
The Apple TV2 works well with AirPlay, Youtube, HD movie trailers, HomeSharing music and photos, etc, but won't connect to NetFlix, allow movie rental, or allow iTunes purchased home computer programs to display due to not being conneted to an iTunes account.
And I can't connect to the iTunes store because the "time and date cannot be set".
Note that my iMac is connected to the same gigabit switch as my Apple TV2 and it can automatically set time and date, just fine. I tested by turning off the auto set, setting the wrong time, then turning it back on and having the system time and date properly reset... twice!
This time, my problem was solved by going into the Time Capsule, changine IPv6 setting from HOST to "Local Link". The Apple TV2 immediately knew the time and was able to connect to the iTunes store.
I recall that last time I "fixed" this problem, I changed that same setting from Local-Link to Host.
I agree with lagoed, Apple should fix this vexing problem, the sooner the better.

Showing date and time not in the big sidebar

in the previous version i could see the date and time in a little window in the left bottom corner (when info was open) in the existing sidebar. i liked that very much.
now i can see it only in a very wide sidebar on the right when info is open. i don't like this very much.
that right sidebar takes a lot of place. i see a lot less photo's on the screen..
is there a option or hack to see the date and time when i hover above, or click a photo, on a existing top or bottom bar? space enough there...
cheers...

Afraid not.

HT1212 Every time i try to turn on my Ipad the only i can see the the date and time for a second and them the screem goes off again !

I have an Ipad 2 /. Everytime a push the bottom to turn it in the screem shows the time for a second and the screem goes black again
what can I do ??

Are you sure it's charged?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

HT3180 My apple tv 3 keeps saying "setting date and time", but it's not connected to Internet, and I've restarted it for more then five minutes at a time. It also won't let me click menu to go back, but my apple tv light flashes. What do I do now?

I'm about to call, but this is my last chance. What can I do?

Aha! A bit more searching and I found the answer that just fixed it for me.
Press Menu and the Back arrow at the same time until a broken chain icon appears on the top left of the screen.
Let them go....
Press Menu and Right arrow (forward arrow) until a "fixed" or "whole" chain appears.
This enabled my apple tv to once again respond and get off the "setting time and date" screen.
Hope it works for you.

Getting Date and Time to Show in the Menu Bar

I have the OS setup to set the date and time automatically and the clock set to "show date and time in the Menu Bar. I have the international set up for the Day of Week, Month, Date and Year, but the menu bar only shows "Fri X:XX:XX PM" is there any way to get it to show me Fri May XX, 2008 X:XX:XX PM"?
Thanks for any help.
John

I use iClock too. It is much more customizable than the Time & Date clock provided with the system. I have used it for several years and it has been very stable for a third-party application.
Although I have only used it for a couple of months, I also really like another third-party application you may like, to put weather conditions on the menubar called WeatherDock (freeware). It accesses Weather.com to provide the current temperature (of course) but it can include several other weather conditions (depending on how much space you have on your menubar). In addition to temperature, I have it show the weather condition (currently partly cloudy, typical in Houston), wind direction and speed (I ride a bike to the office and this tells me if I’ll be fighting it or aided), and humidity (also a Houston favorite). It will also speak the weather conditions when they change.
