Time/date settings

Is there a way to change the time /date format so that the format is MM/DD/YY and 2 hour time not 24 hour. Thanks

You can't use the GPS time to set/lock your phone time. To my knowledge this was never possible but I could be wrong. Which carrier are you with that they do not sync time on their network?

T|X won't power on - and loses time/date settings

I just bought a Palm T|X. After charging it, I set it up and then unplugged it. The problem is, it won't power up unless it's plugged in. When it does power up, the time and date settings have defaulted to 1/1/2005 00:00. However, it did keep the third party programs and contact data.
Any ideas?

One thought: Return it immediately to the store where you got it, if you just bought it, and get a replacement or your money back. .
If you can't, call Palm and send it in for repair, or if you can, replacement. Palm has a couple of bugs, one is the start button. If you can't get it to start, then it doesn't work. For what you paid, it should. The reboot (which is what is resetting your time and date) may indicate a short or other non software problem. Don't fiddle. Get rid of it, get it replaced or get it fixed.

Nokia 6030 lose time/date settings

Hy , i've a question about time/date setting lost every time i need to remove the battery to replace SIM card on a nokia 6030 (new just purchased).
I think this is a problem of the phone because i've another 6230i that do the same thing ,but only after 3-4 years of correct work(and never lost time/date setting until now) .
There is anyone that can confirm me if this is a phone bug (as i believe) ?

I received one comment that say : it's a phone problem , and two others comments that say: no, it's normal for a phone without a backup battery .....anyone has a comment on this ? (for me it's not so clear).
There is any document or manual of this phone that explain this ?
All of the phone manuals that i've seen do not show if there is a battery backup or not installed.

How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?

Hello guys,
Very embarassing question, because I've had Apple's for all of my life (starting with the original Apple Macintosh) but I still haven't figured out one thing
How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?
When I go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats I can set different formats. I have no idea where you will see these, but I know that it's not the top bar where the time and date is being displayed. Because no matter what I enter, the format in the top bar will stay the same. I can only choose things like 24-Hour clock or not, blinking dots and so on in the Time & Date settings from the System Preferences.
Can anyone here point me in the right direction? I see you can even choose to display the week of the year - I'd love to do that!
All help appreciated!
Greetings

Language & Text system preferences, Formats tab, customize dates.
There are also many third party menu item utilities that can. Search Macupdate.com for some.
One search yielded iClock Pro. Although I never used it I would think it allows customization. The link I gave you is to the Macupdate download page for that app. On that same page is a Similar Software section which has other apps that can do the same thing.
One listed is iStat Menus. The primary use for iStat Menus is not for displaying date/time but it does do that. And I know it can do what you want because I use iStat Menus to track temperature sensors n my machine and, like you, I want to customize the menu time/date. So I use it instead of the apple clock. It does have the customization features I think you are looking for.

Time/Date reset after plugged in to computer

Hi,
For the past few days, my IPod Touch (2nd Gen) has re-set the time/date settings any time I have plugged it into either my laptop or desktop to charge. It resets to January 23, 2002, and loses about six hours in the 'time'.
I googled for a solution and someone suggested a workaround was to make sure ITunes was shut down before plugging it in, but I tried that and it didn't fix the issue. The time and date are correct on both computers.
I've had it for well over a year and this is a new problem.
Any suggestions?

What should I change it to? I guess I may not be understanding what you are saying.
I've plugged it into two different computers, both of which are set to the correct date and time, and both of them cause it to revert back to January 30, 2002 and take the 'time' back several hours. It's 8:47 AM here right now, and the Touch has reset to 11:49 PM after having been plugged in.
When I re-set it, I get pop-up notifications for every event I've stored in my calendar since the day I got my Touch in '09.
I did just locate my wall charger and tried it there. That doesn't mess with the time/date, so I'll just use that to charge it if there is no work-around... but I'd love to know what I could do to fix it.

WAAS Mobile Server Time/Date incorrect

Hi,
I cannot seem to find where I configured the time/date settings for the WAAS mobile server.
The Win 2008 server that the Mobile server is installed on has the right time, but the WAAS mobile server itself does not.
At the moment it is using GMT.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Where do you see this GMT timestamp? It may be by design.

datetime is the timestamp when the system report was generated. Datetime is expressed in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), and is formatted as yyyy-mmddThhmmss.

Set Time & Date Automatically

Hi folks, I ventured into the Time/date settings and have my time zone set to Eastern USA, and checked the set time/date automatically setting. Then I locked that window via the paclock in the lower left.
How often does Snow Leopard ping those servers? What would happen if for whatever reason the time server was not reachable?
What if the LAN I'm on has its own time service?

I found this thread while investigating a solution for the same problem on my one-month-old unibody MBP running 10.5.6. The clock on my MBP and my old G4 iMac have never been in sync because the iMac (forever stuck on Tiger) can set the time automatically using a time server and the MBP cannot.
I keep all of the System Preferences which have lock/unlock capability locked. Once I unlocked the Date & Time preferences and enabled the "automatic" option, re-locking or leaving Date & Time unlocked had no effect. If I quit System Preferences, the "Set date & time automatically" option in the Date & Time pane would be unchecked the next time I opened System Preferences and went into the Date & Time pane.
I tried the new user creation--no admin privileges--and that did not have any effect, so I deleted the non-admin user. On a whim, I created another admin user (my account is an admin). Before logging in as the new admin user, I made sure the "automatic" option was enabled and the Date & Time pane was locked. I think I quit System Preferences at this point, but I am not absolutely certain. I used fast user switching to login as the new admin user, went into the Date & Time preferences pane, and the "automatic" option was checked. I switched between the accounts a couple of times, going in and out of System Preferences in each account and the "automatic" option stayed enabled. I logged out of both accounts and the "automatic" option survived when I logged back into my usual account. The next thing I did was delete the new admin user and restart the computer. When I logged in normally, the "automatic" option was still set.
I have no idea why creating a new admin account would solve the problem and I would be really interested to know if it works for anyone else....

Time/Date not staying updated when unit is powered off.

I'm trying to help a buddy out with his G5. Every time he powers off his G5 and unplugs it, the time/date settings don't stay the same. I wanted to find out if it was something simple like a CMOS battery. I don't know much about G5 stuff, but on anything other than Mac, a new CMOS battery usually fixes this.

PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan...
See which one the G5 has...

Issue with time/date change.

Hello,
I'm having issues after changing the time/date zone settings, after I change the time zone (new setting), apperently it is correctly saved while exit (it prompts), but when I return to see the time/date settings once again, the timezone remains the same as the old setting.
I've tried by changing the source type: Blackberry, Network or Off but its the same.
What can i do to solve this? firmware update?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

Ok, I was at the Apple Genius Bar yesterday, and among other things to address my frequent beachball concerns, the Genius repaired disk permissions and reset network settings.
I checked the automagic time/date/time zone settings, and it worked perfectly.
I get home, and the MacBook thinks I'm back in Rexford, Idaho again, throwing off my time zone and time. Argh!

Time & date wrong after sync

Every time I connect my iPod Touch to my PC to charge at & sync it, It will lose the time & date settings stored. The time on the computer is right, however. Is this a problem with my iPod or something else? It is about 6 months old (I think), and this started about 2 weeks ago.

Why do I get iMessage failed update date and time in settings

My iphone5 keeps changing it time zone on it's own and I keep getting a notification in messages saying iMessage failed update your date and time in settings. I have update it several times and it's keep doing it. Now it's just frustrating. How can I take care of this problem for good.

I have also been getting the message ever since I got my iPhone 5 on September 12. I have to reboot the phone to fix the problem or turn the "Set Automatically" off and then back on. This is a glitch likely with Apple's iOS software, but my Verizon store said that have received numerous complaints on this issue, but no patch has been released for it as of yet.

Time and date settings change when phone is powered down (not shut off)..

I recently installed the iOS 8 update and immediately noticed that the time and date settings would change when I powered down my iPhone. I did not turn off my phone, only clicked the button to power down or save power. I have tried all the fixes, suggestions, etc., but I am still having issues. In the power down state, I am able to receive phone calls or texts but when I go into my phone, the time and date will be off. It stops from the moment I click the button to power down the phone. Please don't get this confused with turning off the phone completely. This happens when I click the button for power down or power save, however it is described.
So, how do I fix it? Is the app/software for the clock the problem? Is the battery distribution the problem? For some reason, in power down mode, the clock is not receiving constant power in order to keep accurate time. It stops the moment I click the button. Any suggestions? fixes, etc. I could try. Apple support techs were absolutely no help what-so-ever.

This sounds exactly like what is going on with my phone, http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/10/19/iphone-5-date-time-glitch/

planb77 The OP said he has iOS 3. The Automatic in Settings>General>Time and Date was introduced in iOS 5. The OP just has to see if the time and date, included time zone, are correct.

Time, date and settings problems with boot camp

I have recently installed Windows XP using boot camp on my macbook, and everything seemed to be working fine for a while. However, after a couple of weeks, i am now getting date and time errors every time i shut down Windows and boot back into Mac OS. Upon restart the date always resets it self to December 2000, and this causes multiple programs to stop working. Also, airport forgets my wireless settings and no longer connects to my base station until i re-enter the passwords, so the date wont correct itself using the internet. The only way i have been able to set the correct time and date is to either set it manually, or to use the ethernet cable as it requires no passwords, which is inconvenient as my base station is in a awkward place.
After resetting the time, date and internet settings, my macbook works perfectly again until the next time i use boot camp. I have also had exactly the same problem with another macbook i have, and cannot figure out how to stop this from happening.

Is it possible to create a shortcut for current time / date with iPhone native apps?

is it possible to create a shortcut to insert the current time / date in a text such as a Note with iPhone (IOS 6) native apps (not a 3rd. party app)?
By "shortcut" I mean a combination of characters, the same as under settings/general/keyboards/shortcuts.
thanks.
