Switching Date and Time?

Hi, I need to switch between Us and European(French) time zones frequently on my mac. Is there a easy way to do this besides preferences. It's quite time consuming. Maybe there is a plug in,third party app, or script? Thanks all.

OK, I popped in date & Time into a find in versiontacker.com and came up with this:

Date (date and time) with MySQL, register here!

Hi,
Summary:
I have a page (form) to capture attendance. It works, it allows user to enter their attendance details. On click, it writes to the database - table. The date is not captured on the form. I want to date stamp this by inserting a date (date and time - declared field). I will provide source code. Please pin point what code I should be inserting and wheres about within this code.
Question:
Insert date and time into database table -
Code:
<?php require_once('Connections/dbAttendance.php'); ?>
<?php

There are several ways. One is to get the date from the php time() function and use that in your insert statement. Another is to use MySQL CURDATE() function. But probably the easiest and best is to simply define the default value for the date/time column as the current date/time and exclude it from the insert statement. No code changes necessary.

Script to find locks in Database with Date and time.

Hi all,
I used to have a script which i have lost now due to a recent laptop crash. This script used to find locks in the database.. along with the date and time since when it is locking the session.
It was quite a comprehisive one. I think i found it on this forum only, but not able to find it now. Can someone please help me find one such comprehensive script.
Currently I am using this script.. which is also good.. but does not have the date and time stamp on it. Is there something better.?

What Brian said is true so are your sure your query was not just reporting the start time of the current transaction from v$transaction.start_time, or the start time of the session: v$session.logon_time, or perhaps the time since the last database call (v$session.last_call_et) which for an active session would be the time the current SQL statement has been running?

Actual Finish date and time

Hii
How can we set the actual finish date and time to be logged at the time of Technical completion ??
Thanks and Regards
BK

BK,
The "Work ends on" field should be open for edit in IW41.
This field entry populates the "Actual finish date" in the operation when the "Final confirmation" flag is switched on in posting the time confirmation.
Check the settings in the IMG for: Set Field Selection for Completion Confirmation.
It sounds as though this has been set to "display only". There is no reason to have this control unless the system is set to enable posting in the future. Then folks would be able to cheat on their time.
The future date posting should only be switched on in development or test clients for test purposes.
However, from your description of the process, I would have expected the date and time to have defaulted as the current date and time.
Could there be a user exit at work?
We seem to have wandered away from the original question you were asking about setting the order "finish" date from technical completion. Were you refering to "Basic Finish Date"?
The configuration in Define Proposed Reference Time for Technical Completion can be configured to be Current, Created on, Basic start, Basic finish, but this relates to the reference date of the order.
Or are we on track now with the problem around the operation "actual finish date"?

Date and Time coruption...

I'm getting a lot of system hanging (beachball) when I access the date and time preference pane on my MacBook Pro. If I wait long enough I don't have to force quite the system preferences. It's hanging for about 30 seconds.
I switched to another user account and everything works fine.
I've tried trashing all the preferences. I think it might be affecting iPhoto as well. I used photo sharing to imported a bunch of photos from a trip to my G5 from the MacBook and all the time stamps were changed. I recently moved to the UK and I think it is no coinsidence. The photos were cahnged to a date/time stamped 5 hours too early. But the camera and the G5 and the MacBook Pro were all set to the correct UK time zone before I took or transfered any pictures.
I'm looking for the correct file to trash to get my MacBook's date and time working. I know it's specifc to my user acount on the MacBook because, as I said, the other user accounts have responsive date and time panes.

Try moving these two to the Desktop, restarting, and try the prefPane again:
com.apple.recentitems.plist and com.apple.systempreferences.plist
I do know that those settings (at least for time zone) are stored in
/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences which is an invisible file. See the discussion in the tread Global Date & Time Settings

My new Nokia Lumia 800 changes date and time after...

When i switch off and on my Nokia Lumia 800, date and time changes: from 2 september 2012 8.00 to 2 march 2013 14.00. I need help to understand this strange problem and find a solution.

I had the same problem with my Lumia 800. The Lumia 800 kept changing time and date as soon as I switched it off and turned it back on. In my case, doing a HARD RESET helped to fix this. BEWARE! You will lose all your data!
Switch off your phone, hold Volume Down, Power, Camera buttons down. Switch phone on. As soon as it vibrates, release Power button, keep Volume Down and Camera button pressed for a few seconds.
I have the same problem and after going through all the various support sites- Nokia, O2, and endless forums I was told the same thing "Make sure your auto-update for date and time is switched to automatic" But after telling them I don't know how many times that my Lumia 800 didn't have this option, only a 24 hours switch I was told there was nothing that could be done. However I appear to have sorted it out myself. The problem appears to be (or on my phone at least) is wi-fi connection, before I turn my phone off I have to disconnect from wi-fi and when I turn the phone back on the date and time stays corrected.
When I set the date and time manually (for the 3000th time!!) I held in the power button until the slide down close screen disappeared then released it and the phone restarts, then I done it again- same proceedure just to be sure and ever since the date and time has stayed correct. BUT BE SURE TO TURN OFF WI-FI BEFORE SWITCHING PHONE OFF. Hope this helps

Time Stamp Error: Cannot display system date and time. My VI display "YYYY-MM-DD" instead of "2014-08-02".

Hi All,
I am using Labview8.5 and Windows XP OS.
My Problem is my Labview TimeStamp cannot display current system date and time.
Please see my attachment for the screentshot.
The TimeStamp or ever Format Date/Time String display "YYYY-MM-DD" instead of "2014-08-02".
I tried other computer machine and it works. There are some computer machine has this problem.
How can I resolve this issue? Please advice. Thanks.
Best Thanks,

Time Stamp error.JPG ‏68 KB

Bill,
reviewing the thread Dennis linked (thanks for that) reveals that it is the same account which opened this thread here three month later.
What bothers me is the fact, that the past thread is marked "solved" even though it obviously isn't. Or the OP is trolling us.....
Nevertheless, it seems like systematic error. Connected to specific machines.
What makes the machines where the time stamp issue occurs "unique"? If there are several, is that source really "unique"?
Most obvious reasons would be:
- Language settings (possibly the infamous "dot-comma-issue")
- Time zone settings (e.g. what happens if you switch Ulaanbaatar to Perth or maybe even some US time zone?)
- Missing hotfixes for Win and LV
- Is the system running as virtual machine vs. "native"?
Not so obvious differences:
- Specific CPU type
- Motherboard/BIOS
- LV ini settings
There are tons of other possible reasons (e.g. corrupt LV installation), but these are the ones i came up with within a couple of minutes....

Date and time on my iPhone keeps changing to GMT or Cupertino time

Hi,
Somehow my date and time settings keeps changing to GMT/Cupertino despite setting it to Mumbai (India). Because of this all my alarms and calendar events have gone for a toss. I have changed the time to Mumbai multiple times, but it keeps switching back without event touching the phone. I even upgraded to 2.0.2 but the problem persists. Any idea what else can I do to get this working.
Thanks,
Avinash

I picked this up from another thread (I tried 2.0.1 and 2.02 upgrades too with no success). The following worked, though:
- Plug your iPhone into you Macbook / PC and allow iTunes to do a full backup (I had to right click the iphone icon and select backup).
- Right click your iPhone under DEVICES in iTunes and click on Restore. Choose the back up you have just made
- From within your iPhone, tap the Settings icon, choose General and then Date & Time. Choose Time Zone and change the time zone to your desired city.
- To test the change has worked, tap the Date & Time back arrow at the top left and then click on the home button. Finally, go back to the Time Zone option within Settings and the time zone should have stayed as the one you chose.
Note: Is your iPhone 3G’s GPS facility taking ages to pinpoint your location? The above changes will fix this problem as well

E66 Loses date and time.

I set an alarm for work days. I switched the phone off with the alarm set.
The alarm did not ring, but the display light flashed a couple of times at the approriate alarm time and then nothing .. No alarm.
I swithced the phone on, it immediately asks for the date and time !!
After entering the date and time the alarm then rang !!
This is not an issue of the wrong or silent profile being set on the phone, the phone just lost its marbles and didn't know what the date or time was anymore.
I don't find any microcode update yet, I'm on version 102.07.81 (date = 12/07/2008)
For a business phone at this price I find this problem rather astonishing, I see in other threads I'm not the only one to suffer this issue ...

I have the same problem with my E66 (as I also had with three different E51s) that the date got a hick-up during the weekend. When I turned it off on Friday evening it would say Friday, but when I turned it on on Saturday morning it would still say Friday. Apparently as software glitch for several models here. Hope Nokia fixes this soon.

Can't change the date and time

On a recent trip abroad, my N96 automatically switched to the local time on arrival, but it failed to switch back to UK time when I returned. Now my phone is stuck 3 hours ahead, and it won't let me change the date or time manually. When I select Settings | General | Date and time, and click Open, 'Change' flashes up briefly, but even if I'm fast enough to click it, nothing happens.
I've tried reverting to the Factory Settings, but that did not resolve the problem. I've also checked for Firmware updates, but there aren't any. Any suggestions for fixing this would be very welcome...

Your operator doesn't seem to support time autoupdate while the operator you connected to while abroad does.
Go into the clock settings and set auto time update to "off". Then set the time zone to "GMT 0:00 London". This should bring the clock's time back to what it should be. If it doesn't, at least you can do so manually now (having auto time update set to "on" removes your ability to set the date and time manually).

Aperture 3.0.3 Adjust Date and Time

Working on a batch (~3K) scanned images that all need to be adjusted for date and time, the adjustments and so forth. All notes below is with Master images.
My observations so far with the unpredictable "Adjust Date and Time" function, "D&T" hereafter and some suggestions on improving Aperture.
0. Always make sure that you start by "edit->deselect all" - even if nothing is selected.
APPLE: PLEASE MAKE IT SIMPLER TO SEE WHAT IS SELECTED (MASTERS, VERSIONS, etc).
1. Always use US language selection - Language selection seems to matter for D&T. I am from Denmark, living in US but often switch between US and DK language (to get some special characters). In Denmark we use dd-mmm-yyyy and in use we use mmm-dd-yyyy. When i use the danish locale with the "D&T" function Aperture D&T is totally unpredictable - so stick with US.
APPLE: PLEASE DONT BE TOO SMART BUT USE THE D&T FORMAT LISTED IN THE D&T DIALOG BOX
2. D&T time-shift does not work. Unfortunately this 'capability' cannot be disabled - Somehow Aperture check what the time was originally stamped on the image and use this for the new "D&T" - first i though that this was adjusting ~1 sec between images but it seems that Aperture do something like the following (sorry for my non-applescript'ish examples below)
newTime = "edit->adjust date and time"
foreach image do
set time to image.D&T.time
try() change image.D&T.time newTime+image.D&T.time
catch () newTime image.D&T.time
Not good as it time-shift from the original picture - if the time is good this is not a problem but if time (from the stamp) is off (like all of mine) most likely the time will get the date to wrap into the next day (or year if you got a bunch of images)..
APPLE: PLEASE ADD AN OPTION TO DISABLE TIME-SHIFT in D&T
3. Dont include DNG - Aperture cannot change the date for a dng and it seems to screw up the time-shift in "D&T" - i think the algorithm do something like
newD&T = "edit->adjust date and time"
for each image do
set D&T to image.D&T
try() change image.D&T to newD&T
catch() newD&T = image.D&T
The problem seems to be that when Aperture work on a image it cannot change it use this images (that it cannot change) D&T for the next images D&T, i got a bunch (a ton actually) of examples
1994
1994
2008.dng
2008
When using a different language locale it gets even worse.
APPLE: PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE D&T COUNTERS WHEN WORKING ON A FORMAT NOT (WELL) SUPPORTED.
4. Always check your trash for images - after i deleted projects (empty, no images) i have found images for those projects in the trash. Cannot explain why this is but i am happy that i checked the trash before emptying - put back works just fine.
I am currently using the following methodology for my scans.
1. load in all pics, create albums for years and projects for months - e.g. 1993.0201 <text>, 1998.0327 <text> and sort scans to the correct albums and projects
2. export each album as separate libraries, open library, fix D&Ts, places and faces. Exit, reopen and check trash for images that should not have been deleted. Clean trash, close.
- For faces i add a few pics' of recognizable folks - open faces and select from the many suggestions aperture offers - very fast.
3. Open or import library to master (my master got ~20K pics currently)
I am interested in learning if i am the 'only one' with Aperture D&T 'problems' or if i am using the tool incorrectly.

nathan:
What type of edit were you making. Have been trying to duplicate that and cannot. I've changed the date and selected the original file to be changed also. Then I edited the file by cropping, changing the exposure and shadows and saving. Both versions are still tiff files.
Now these are tiff files that I converted over from jpgs with Photoshop as my camera doesn't take tiffs. Don't know if that will make any difference.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Continuous updating date and time

trying to login to appletv but screen stay on Updating Date and Time. I have confirmed WiFi is connected and have reset per instruction.

Hello
I wrote upon Automator for those using 10.5 which gives the ability to record the user's actions in a process file which may be replaid later.
With 10.4.x this feature doesn't exists.
This is a very good reason to switch to 10.5
You are lucky, insomniae strikes again so here is the announced brute force script.
Copy the script in the clipboard
Paste in a blank window of Script Editor
Save it as an application
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Now, enter your Pages document.
Click in the header.
Go to
menu Scripts > saveWithCurrentDateInHeader
The contents of the header will be replaced by the current date/time
and the document will be saved exactly as if you pressed cmd + s

As you may read, there are more lines to explain the use of the beast than for the code itself
As I am unable to activate the dialog allowing us to adjust the date whe it is inserted the official way, I simply paste the current date-time into the header.
Just click tnto the header of the current page. It will be automatically reported into other pages's header.

WLC date and time configuration

Hi, I have a problem with a 4402 Wireless LAN Controller running 7.0.116.0 versión. The equipment is working fine, but after a hard reset i lost date and time
configuration.No other configuration is affected, only date and time. What can be the cause of this?

Hi Leo, mabuti naman po ako. Ikaw kumusta? You can speak tagalog pala. << OT.
WLC don't have NTP configured because they don't have NTP server. Anyway, I must agree with you in terms of unstable power source here in Philippines, but in this case, the client datacenter do have redundant UPS standing-by incase power interruption occurs. Actually, my client have 2x 5508 sitting side by side. The other one is working properly because we tried them to switch off and then unplugged the power cord from power source. When we plugged it again and they boot up, one WLC retains its clock and date but the other one reverts to January 1, 2000.
I think we better request for an RMA for this unit.

Several macbook issues: date and time, constant spinning ball, super slow

I have a macbook w/ several problems. these problems started about 3 months after i got it and have continued to escalate, now becoming REAL problems.
1. The date and time always "stalls". In order to display the correct date and time i have to click on it (top right), the date and time menu appears, and it naturally resets itself to the correct time. It is not a time zone issue. I think this might happen when it falls asleep, which brings me to problem 2.
2. A lot of times when my computer falls asleep, it doesn't wake up when i open it or when i click the keypad to open. For a while this was such a normal thing that i had to take the battery out for a couple of seconds and then replace it in order for the computer to turn back on. Now, i can push the on/off key to sometimes "wake" it back up. This problem is consistent, yet it doesn't happen every time it goes to sleep. this problem happens maybe 5 times a day.
3. my computer is SUPER SLOW. Not necessarily the internet, just overall performance. Typing emails (entourage) and regular mail. Using excel and word, iphoto, etc. Switching from one program to another causes the spinning ball to appear for longer than normal.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And, i admit in advance, i am not very good at finding my way around the mac, so detailed instructions would be post appreciated! Thanks.

since you said that you are using excel and word then i'm going to guess that you also have windows on your system... your computer will not function to its full potential running another OS with only 512 of RAM.... you really need up upgrade to at least 1GB for a requirement or 2GB for a much better performance.
