Switching from 12 to 24 hour time in ical - disappearing times

I live in the US, but I wanted my clock to change to 24 hour time. I did that, but then my region has to be custom and now the time displayed on the left has disappeared. I don't feel like this should be so complicated, but... it is. So I looked up how to change the time, and it worked, but the numbers disappeared and that's not very helpful since that was what I was trying to change. I can even change it back and they're still gone.

Never mind! I restarted iCal (not sure why I didn't think of that before) and the time display on the left returned! But still, I hope for a simpler option for switching to 24 hour time in the future. All you should have to do in my opinion is click on a check box or bullet.
So people with disappearing time displays may want to attempt that.

  • I am switching from XP to windows 7 at the same time you have changed firefox and my bookmarks are in a .json file. How do I import them?

    I have a new computer. The old firefox made backups with .json files but I don't see how to import them. I've got one for bookmarks from 5-11.

    To import a JSON backup into Firefox 4 on Windows 7.
    First, open the bookmarks organizer ("Library") using
    orange Firefox button > Bookmarks ''or''<br>
    Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks ''or''<br>
    Ctrl+Shift+b
    On the menu bar (has a grayed out back and forward button on the left side), the third menu should be Import & Backup. Some people don't see the words, just the icon, which looks like a star with some green arrows forming a circle.
    From that menu Restore > Choose File, and navigate to your JSON file.
    Any luck?

  • IOS 5 Calendar app current time bar off after time switch

         Here is a issue I have recently noticed. Yesterday we had time fall back one hour. On my Macbook, Iphone 4, and Ipad2, the system time is showing correctly(the time in menu bar on the Mac, and in the top system bar on iOS). On my two Ios5 devices however, in the "Calendar" app, the little bar with the red dot (i refer to as the "current time bar") still shows one hour ahead. So for example the actual time in Los Angeles, CA right now is 3:19 PM but in the calendar app on both Ios devices it shows as 4:19 PM. Keep in mind that the system time is showing 3:19 PM on both of these devices. I logged into the http://www.icloud.com web site and it shows correctly. On my Mac book running MacOSX 10.7.2 everything shows up ok (both system time and iCals current time bar). I am connected to Wi-Fi and 3G. I do have time zone support enabled on all devices, but turning that off did not help anything and I don't see how that could be causing this. What is causing this? Is this a bug in iOS5? Please let me know if you are experiencing the same issue so we can have Apples developers fix this bug. Thanks have a nice afternoon.
    The issue:
    The "Current time bar" in iOS5 Calendar is showing up one hour ahead after time switch as of yesterday (11/5/2011 Los Angeles, CA)
    What I know:
    System time on Mac, Iphone and Ipad shows up as the right time
    Current time bar in iCal on MacOSX 10.7.2  shows right
    Current time bar in Calendar on icloud.com shows right
    Common posts:
    This post seems to be experiencing the same issue.

    I'm having the same issue... the time is right on my phone, however the time-bar is showing DST (one hour ahead). I've restarted the phone... checked my iCloud time zone, etc... even tried turning on/off the Time Zone support not only for the phone but also in the Calendar... nothing.
    So in the end, correct time but the time-bar is incorrect. I hope this is just a bug that needs fixing by Apple...

  • I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home?

    I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home? I really don't have any appointments from 11 pm to 7 am when I work, but I don't want to switch when my day starts in preferences as no one else in my family works nights.
    Any suggestions?

    i haven't seen that option either, and it would be a great feature. (traveltime in a different colour...)
    i do it like this: in the caption of the appointment i put the time that the gig starts. the actual time stretch of the appointment is the appointment including traveltime.
    it's not the best way, but it works...
    good luck

  • HT4993 when switching from my htc evo to the iphone 4s they said all my photos and videos would transfer over time, but after 6 hours still nothing has transfered.  Anybody have this issue or know what I can do so I won't lose all my pictures and videos

    When switching from HTC evo to iphone 4s on sprint service the attendant said all my music, photos, and videos would transfer after some time.  Does anyone know if this is true, or has anyone had this issue happen to them?  It has been 8 hours since the switch and only my contacts transferred right away.

    Well i wouldn't see why your photo's, videos and music would trasnfer. As that is a android device, there is no way to have them transfer over the air to the iphone. 
    Contacts probably came from google. Your videos and such you would have to move them to PC then to the iphone. Same with your music.

  • Time machine problem. Switching from one external drive to another. Problem started when upgrading to Mavrics, and changing to a WD drive

    I am a long time Mac user, running my business on an apple  platform since 1984. I currently use a 17" MacBook Pro as my primary computer for work. when it is at work it is plugged in via thunderbolt to my monitor and a one tb back up drive. I use time machine to back up the laptop to the one tb drive. When I go home, I take the laptop with me and use another drive at home as a back up. This way I have redundant back ups, in two separate locations. I have been doing this for years, and Time machine has worked flawlessly, automaticity switching from one drive to another.
    I recently switched to Maverics, and got a new drive for home. Now whether I am at home or at work, time machine fails to automatically back up. It will alert me every hour that backups cannot be completed, and I  must go to the time machine control panel and manually select a drive and click, "back up now". I also see an alert that says "waiting to complete first back up" even though each backup has been completed.
    This is quite annoying, and sometimes embarrassing. When giving lectures in large venues, the backup failure alert appears and shuts down my keynote presentation (again, something new since switching to Maverics and the new WD drive.
    I have reformatted the WD drive, and also spent time trying to change parameters in the time machine control panel, but so far no luck.
    Any advice out there?

    Time machine requires a GUID partion scheme, as well as a Mac OS X extended, journaled Volume.
    It needs these to correctly:
    1) copy the files
    2) run a modified spotlight index pass on the files
    Both are required to complete a abckup, and most new drives do not conme this way from the factory.

  • Switching from Entourage to ical, mail, and address book- duplications?

    I am tired of the slowness of Entourage and was thinking of switching to all of the native mac programs. Any suggestions or comments on whether this is a good idea or not?
    Also, will all of my information be duplicated. I have about 3 gigs of information and I don't want to needlessly store it if I don't need to. Can I get some advice on where to find and extract that information from the entourage program so I am not eating up disc space unnecessarily.
    Thank you.

    Three weeks ago I switched from Entourage and Palm Desktop to Apple mail, address book and ical. It was a tad painful because I ended up with a lot of duplicates as I had email and some contact info in Entourage and several thousand contacts in Palm Desktop.
    However after a couple of solid nights sorting out the duplicates all the contact info for each person is now in one place.
    Word of warning though when you are checking address book entries make sure you keep backing up the changes (File - Backup address book) because for some inexplicable reason a couple of times all the entries in address book vanished.
    Also the check for duplicates option in address book might be great for some but for me it created contacts that had their addresses and phone numbers duplicated several times.
    After initial teething problems (getting used to the different programs) I am now pretty happy with the changeover. I am ecstatic to not be seeing the constant Entourage error message of 'your database is damaged and needs to be rebuilt' which entourage kept throwing at me (even after repeated rebuilds).
    I have a Palm Treo and Address Book and iCal sync fine with that as well (after installing the conduit).
    You'll also find in mail that you can't do as much snazzy formatting as you could with Entourage (ie numbered lists and bullet points) but hopefully Apple will address that in later updates. In the meantime if I'm desperate for formatting I write the email in rtf and paste it across complete with bluet points.
    Sorry to drone on but wanted to give you some moral support.
    Oh by the way the entourage data is stored in Home folder - Documents - Microsoft User Data - Office 2004 Identities - main identity - database (almost need a compass and flashlight to find it). To be on the safe side burn it to a dvd just in case and then trash it and all it's little friends (rules, lists, signatures and the other main identity folders.
    Good luck

  • I moved across the country. My iCal event times fell back 3 hours.

    So, I moved from the East Coast the West Coast. Now all my recurring events and items created on the east coast (while out there) are appearing as 3 hours earlier on my iCal and iPhone. Example:
    Original event time: 1 pm (created on east coast)
    Event time in iCal now: 10 am (3 hours earlier)
    DESIRED time in iCal: 1 pm
    Is there a way to do this automatically without having to go into each event and change manually? Thanks in advance!

    Yes, go to your settings and under Advanced, turn off Time Zone support.

  • Error -17600 when switching from LabVIEW Development System to LabVIEW Run-Time Engine in Adapter Configuration

    I receive an error message (code -17600) while loading my test sequence after switching from LabVIEW Development System (2009 f3) to LabVIEW Run-TIme Engine using the Adapter Configuration.
    ErrorCode: -17600,
    Failed to load a required step's associated module.
    LabVIEW Run-Time Engine version 9.0.1f3.
    When I switch back to the LV development system, everything is OK, and the sequence loads and runs perfectly.
    My TestStand Engine Version is 2012 f1 (5.0.0.262).
    I'd appreciate any help on this issue.
    Roman

    Hi Roman,
    There are a couple of things you can try:
    1) Determine if the LabVIEW RunTime Engine is corrupted in some way. Create a new simple VI with no sub-VIs, using the same LabVIEW Development system you used for mass-compiling the VIs. Create a TestStand step that calls this VI and ensure it runs correctly. Now switch your LabVIEW adapter to use the RuntimeEngine and choose the "Auto detect using VI version" option.
    Check if the simple VI is loadable and runs without errors in TestStand.
    If the step generates the same error, you should try a re-install of the LabVIEW development system.
    If not, its most likely that there is some VI you are using that is not loadable in the LabVIEW Runtime Engine because:
    1) Some sub-VI is still not saved in the right version or bitness. Open the VI heirarchy of the top-level VI that you are calling from TestStand and examine the paths of all the sub-VIs to check if they were in the folder you masscompiled and re-save any that are outside this directory.
    Also, when you try to close the top level VI, do you get a prompt to save any unsaved files? If so, they could be the sub-VIs that are not saved in the right version. Save all of them.
    Check if you are loading any VIs programatically and if these are compiled and saved in the right version as well.
    2) There is some feature you are using in your LabVIEW code that is not supported in the LabVIEW RunTime Engine. To check this, add your top-level VI to a LabVIEW project and create a new build specification and create a new executable from this VI.
        Right-click "Build Specifications" and choose "New->Application(EXE)".
        In the Application Properties window, select Source Files and choose the top level VI as the start-up VI.
        Save the properties.
        Right-click on the newly created build specification and choose Build.
    Run this executable (it will be run using the LabVIEW RunTime) and check if the VI has a broken arrow indicating that it cannot be loaded and run in the LabVIEW Runtime Engine.
    You might need to examine your code and find the feature which is not supported in the LabVIEW RunTime and find an alternative.
    Another thing i forgot to mention the last time around is if you are using 64-bit LabVIEW with 32-bit TestStand, then executing code using LabVIEW RTE from TestStand will not work since the 64-bit LabVIEW RTE dll cannot be loaded by the 32-bit TestStand process.
    If none of the above steps resolve the issue, consider sharing your LabVIEW code so i can take a look.

  • LONG lag time switching from other programs to Flash

    (Intec-Mac - OSX - 1.5 GB RAM)
    Has anyone heard of this before? Any time I switch from any
    other open program to a project in Flash, I get a super long wait
    time before I'm able to work with Flash again. The lag time
    only happens when switching to Flash (I get the spinning
    ball of death while the Flash menus load again -EVERY time!)
    This happens no matter if I have just Flash open and I'm
    switching from the finder back to it or if I have 15 programs open
    at once...
    It is super frustrating and slowing down my workflow between
    Flash and any other programs! I just uninstalled and reinstalled
    hoping it would help but got same result - Any help?

    Your best bet at this point in time is more RAM, since the
    Flash IDE on
    mac is only PPC at this time it runs emulated in Rosetta on
    Intel macs,
    and I've noticed swap times can be quite slow, this is not
    unique to
    Flash in my experience, it happens whenever I swap in a
    resource
    intensive app. Parallels is another prime example - and it is
    intel
    native.
    Adobe engineers appear to have a new found love of the Mac,
    so we can
    only hope the intel native version ships it will be super
    zippy.

  • Enter 24 hour times in iCal.

    I use 24 hour time and I cannot figure out how to get iCal to allow me to enter times correctly. How does one do this? I can customize times in systems preferences so they display correctly but I cannot get a iCal to let me type them in.

    Rob,
    ...but I cannot get a iCal to let me type them in.
    I use the 24 hour display, and I have to use the Up/Down arrow keys when entering time information.
    If that is not working for you, try refreshing the iCal plist file.
    Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for time entry.

  • My iphone 4 is stalling a lot. I've had it for a year now, I have the most current OS, it's not too full of apps, or anything like that. Many times throughout the day, I cannot switch from app to app, unless I do a complete power-off. Any ideas?

    I've had it for a year now.
    I have the most current OS. I snyc it to my itunes 2-3 times a week. It is only about 25% full. It stalls (I don't know if I would call it freezing) between trying to switch from app to app. I either have to let it sit there for a few minutes, or turn it all the way off and turn it back on.
    And yes, I know to press the home button twice to get the bottom part activated. That's not working. I'm not sure if this is a common thing, or what with iphone 4's.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • Time changes when switching from Windows to Mac, vice versa

    Hi,
    I am using Bootcamp to run Windows XP SP2 on my macbook. When ever I switch from one to the other (mac to windows, vice versa) my time will always be incorrect. I have to restart the computer everytime to switch, but when ever I just reset and load into the same OS as before, my time is fine. Anyone know what is wrong? It's really annoying to have to change the time or think its a certain time and it being wrong.

    Everyone gets that problem. Evidently Windows and Mac use a different reference point for the time, I think one uses Greenwich and the other local. On the Mac side you can go to System Prefs->Date & Time, and see if checking the box to "Set date & time automatically" fixes the problem.

    I venture to say you have a Windows PC.
    If so, before beginning the download try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with the insecure OS your computer is running.
