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?

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.

How to set time zone for a session in Client Only installation

Environment:
OS : Unix (HP-UX 11.0)
Oracle DB : Ver 8.0.5
Developer : Ver 1.6 ( Client only Installation)
Developer also on Unix.
RDBMS and Developer Installed on different
home directories.
Our development is Forms 4.5 on X windows.
Runtime is forms character mode.
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!
What you are referring to is adding a city. I need to know how to set the time zone in settings -> Date & Time -> Timezone. Unless & untill this is set properly the iPod will never show me the right time. Please help me with it.
I will definately use your advice on the second query.
Thanks once again!

IPhone 4s Battery life, Location Services, Setting Time Zone

So, many threads and articles on the internet are claiming that turning off "setting time zone" in location services (under system services) solves their battery drainage issue.
I've tried turning off location services together with other things, and while there seems to be an improvement, I don't really think it is solving the problem completely in my case. For example, even after:
- a full iphone restore from iTunes
- no third party apps
- the phone in Airplane mode (no Wifi or cellular connectivity)
- all location services off
- iCloud syncing completely off
   - Facetime off
   - iMessage off
   - bluetooth off
    - WITHOUT using the phone at all
... I seem to be lsoing about 25 % of charge every nine hours, which extrapolates to 36 hours time, total.
... but this is with ll networking functions turned completely off (set up basically as an old-time PDA but without actually using it) and without turning the phone on.
Apple claims a time of 200 hours standby with all services on, connected to a WiFi access point with only "ask to join networks" set to the off position.
How is that possible?
Looking at my phone usage under General settings, even with all the networking functions turned completely off (as above), my phone is spending about 90 % of time "in use." But I'm not using it!
At least with this phone, it seems like not all is explained by the "setting time zone" service under location services. Even with the screen off, no networking functions, and limited functionality, it appears to be cranking away at something.
Can anyone else reproduce this?

Grrrrrr, now (after the iOS 5.0.1 update), this is happening not only on my iPad, but also on my iPhone 4S, which never had the problem on iOS 5.0. So, instead of going from 1 to 0 devices having the problem, I've gone from 1 to 2 after the update! Isn't this the opposite of what was supposed to happen?
Letting the iPhone sleep for a while, shutting it off and turning it back on, resetting it with home+power, all do nothing. Weirdly, it *wasn't* doing this right after I did the update; it only started about a day or so later.
****Update: and now it's off again, but it did come on for about 10 minutes and then turned off again. Hmmmmm. I agree that having the status bar icon enabled is a good idea, to at least be able to see when this happens and disable it if you're in a situation where battery life matters.

Why is the location services arrow constantly on for setting time zone on iOS 5.1?

I have updated to iOS 5.1 OTA (Over The Air, not by connecting to iTunes and updating) on my iPhone 4S and the purple location services arrow is constantly on in the status bar when setting time zone and automatic update of date and time are turned on simultaneously. I had this problem prior to the update, but I understand that not everyone has this issue as my friend has these two settings on and doesn't have the problem. I have tried restoring and all that (obviously), but not restoring and setting up as new.
Somebody please help because it's an obvious fault in the system if nothing else. I have heard somebody else complain about this and the had a 32 GB 4S the same as me. I don't really see why memory should matter but my friend who doesn't have the problem has a 16GB 4S.
Also, I am not in an area that is between time zones when this is happening.

If it is turned on I can't be sure if anything else is using my location (at a glance) since the arrow is constantly showing. I am aware that this function will use battery power, maybe constantly, but the arrow shouldn't be constantly showing. If it should, then why doesn't my friends iPhone show it? Either way there is a problem here.

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).

Location Services: Setting Time Zone... Always Active

Just wondering if anybody else is experiencing the always active SETTING TIME ZONE setting in LOCATION SERVICES / SYSTEM SERVICES.
It's always purple - never stops polling for location.
I've noticed a change in the battery life for my iPhone 4 and I think this is the culprit.
Is that setting needed for anything in particular or can it safely be turned off?
Thanks for any advice you have!

Set Time Zone automatically doesn't work?

Just returned from a trip to Greece (back home now in Phoenix). Noticed that even connected to wifi in different locations, when "set time zone automatically" was clicked on in general settings, time displayed on iPad seemed stuck in EST. (I made a stop in Philly on way to trip, not sure if that has to do with anything.)
If i click "set time zone automatically" to off, for some reason my iPad defaults to Washington DC, even though in all my calendar/email settings i have Phoenix set as local time zone. I can change Washington DC to Phoenix and correct time displays on iPad. Just wondering why i can't set it automatically to display correct local time?
Thanks for any suggestions....

Ok thanks. Yeah, I ended up using the World Clocks.
Where it gets interested is, iCal. If you're in a foreign country that's, say, 4 hours ahead, and you add iCal entries to your Calendar while you're out there, should those entries reflect the local time or the home time?
Also, if you're set the Alarm to wake you up at 8:00am, and you're away on holiday, surely it will go off at home time, not local time, thus going off at the WRONG time.

AppleScript or Automater to Set Time Zone (or just the time)

Hi,
I am trying to have a script that will change the timezone to UK - (ie reduce my macbook by one hour from European time) before I run an application.
I use a MythTV backend on my network that is in UK time, and I am in Europe. However, the mythfront end I have on my mac needs to be in same timezone for it to work with the backend.
However, instead of having to go to the System Prefs before I want to run the myth front end, I'll like to build a Automater workflow (app) that changes time to UK time, runs the mythfront end (and changes back once I close myth front end).
My problem is I can't get any workflow to work to change the timezone. I found a workflow on the net for Automater, but this doesn't work. The auomater app was called 'Set Time Zone 1.0 - by NyghtHawk productions' but only returns this error about not being able to find this file:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/syst emsetup-panther.
(which I guess is obvious as I'm using Snow leopard and not panther)
Does anyone know of a working way to script setting the time in Mac Os X ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

I have solved the Applescripting of System Preferences to change the Time Zone.
My problem is that my time zone (Melbourne - Australia) causes my 3rd gen iPod nano to lose its time zone and time settings when it is _plugged in_ to my mac (Note: Not when it is synchronised).
I have a pair of Applescripts: the first sets the time zone to Noumea, run before the iPod is plugged in and the second resets the time zone to Melbourne after the iPod is physically disconnected.
timezone=Noumea
This script is run BEFORE plugging in the iPod.
This ensures the iPod time zone is not NUKED.
The corresponding script to reset time zone is
run when iPod is physically disconnected
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
(* get Date & Time preference pane *)
tell menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
delay 0.5
click menu item "Date & Time" of menu 1
end tell
(* get Time Zone subpane *)
tell tab group 1 of window "Date & Time"
click radio button "Time Zone"
tell group 1
set value of combo box 1 to "Nouméa - New Caledonia"
We need to focus the combo box before "hitting" return
PROBLEM: we dont know if it is already focused
a) if is already focused the first 'return' key sets the time zone
b) if was not focused the first 'return' key does nothing
the 'tab' key will then focus it
and then the second 'return' key sets the time zone
keystroke return & tab & return -- make it stick
delay 0.5
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
timezone=Melbourne
This script is run AFTER physically disconnecting the iPod.
This ensures the iPod time zone is not NUKED.
The corresponding script to set up the time zone to Noumea
is run BEFORE iPod is physically plugged in
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events"

Look-up java time zone based on location?

I have a test app where I can assign a java timezone and return time info - However, I don't see a way to look-up a java time zone based on location (combination of city/province/state/country).
Is this possible?

Has any one found a way to lookup a timezone based on a city/region in the world? So one could be able to type any city and state/province and country combination and get the corresponding timezone for that region. Is there a place where one can buy this data?
Thank you

Setting time zones at sea?

Is there any app for Iphone that will let you set time zones by number offset from UTC. I am often in time zones that have no city in them, so they are not listed in the clock app.

Maybe I am not being clear. Let's try again.
We don't have cell-phone coverage in the middle of the ocean.
I turn my cell and wifi off when we get off shore to save power.
I use the iPhone as a little computer. I am looking for a way to have my four or five wall clocks that I used to have on the office wall, on my iPhone.
During doing my job I like to be able to know:
What time is it in the time zone I am in.
What time is it on my best friend's ship.
What time is it on the port we left.
What time is it on in the port we are going to.
And what time it is in UTC
I just am looking for an app that gives me the ability to set time clocks by all time Zones around the world by zone offset from UTC.
Setting time zones by city names is useless to me.
Setting time zones by pinging the Internet or cell towers can not be done where I am at.

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).

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!

Q: Set time restriction for UPK assessments

in knowledge Center there is way of setting a start and end date for an assessment, but we would like to restrict it by time as well.
Is it possible to set time restriction for an assessment, say from starting the assessment the user have only 1 hour to complete. I know that Knowledge center keeps track of the time spent on a specific assessment when I run reports to tracking of time is already available.
Experts - your help is kindly required

Hi Babu,
Based on my knowledge, Exchange has no built-in function to restrict some users sending their messages in a period of time. Your understanding will be appreciated.

How do i set time limits for my children on an ipad and ipod

how I set parental restrictions

That's not a feature of the iPod or iPad. Or the iPhone for that matter. The most effective way is to take it away from them when they're not supposed to be using it.
If you don't want to do that, investigate the capabilities of your router to set time limits for specific devices.

How do I set time limits for my iphone?

You know how there are parental controls on the macs in the settings. In there you can set up time limits of how long you can use the computer for but I can't find it on the iphone where you can set time limits for use. I looked at the restrictions sections but I don't see anything on setting time limit. How could I set time limits for use on my phone? I go on my phone too much and I really have to set restrictions to limit my time on it.

There are apps you can download i believe to do this.
