Why can't I set the date and time insert to the format I want?

I would like the date to be formatted in the short form on my docs. However whenever I insert date and Time it always come out at the long form i.e.
Monday, 15 April 2013.
Right clicking allows me to edit it but the next time I inset it the long form re-appears.
I've tried to do it via the system preferences > language and text > region > customise route but the same thing thing happens. I choose the short form at the top of the choices but it still comes out in the long form on the docs.
Only a minor point but it is irritating 'cos it should be simple (probably is 'cept I'm a bit slow).
I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.3
Thanks

Wilfred. I found this in one of the More like this posts >>>>> opposite your first post. It might apply if you are on Pages 08. Insert Date/Time: Apple Support Communities
I would never have thought of double or right clicking on the date itself. I haven't tested it to see what formats exist. One last suggestion, if we don't resolve it here, write a new post and put it in the iWork pages columns. There you may meet up with the gurus in that persuasion.

Why can't I set month,date and time on my imessage?

Why can't I set month, date and time on my imessage?

The way the date/time was displayed was changed in iOS7. There had been numerous complaints about not having a date/time stamp on all posts, so it was changed to display the time for all by sliding the post to the left. They left the date stamp to show differently. I couldn't tell you what it does for posts more than a week old, as I never save my messages that long.
Meg's post provides for software where you could move the SMS to the computer and it should contain a full date/time stamp on it.

Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?

I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

Report the date and time of all the systems reporting to sccm

Hi,
We have a requirement to report the date and time of all the systems reporting to SCCMnot sure if this is possible.
Appreciate any help regarding this.
Thanks

Not sure I understand what you are asking. Do you want to get the date/time for the last hardware inventory, heartbeat discovery etc?

HT2473 How can I get the date and time back on the menu bar?

Several items disappeared from my menu bar for no reason known to me. I miss the date and time and want it back. Please . I have gone to System Preferences and clicked "date and Time" but it will not allow me to check anything on the page even though there is a box "Show date and time in Menu bar".
What should be my next move?

One more thing might help us
In the Finder > Date & Time Preferences > Take a Full ScreenShot of the entire display showing the "absence" of the check box (or whatever) to Show in Menu Bar
⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift > Press ' 3 ' > release all three
Use the camera tool > locate the screenshot in the Desktop (not sure whether it will say "Picture 1.png" or have a TimeDateStamp as a title.

How do you know the date and time synchronization in the windows version?

Where can I see the date and time synchronization?

There's a toolbar button sitting in the Customize Palette. Move that button to a toolbar or into the Open Menu box; when you hover the cursor over that button a tooltip will appear with the day-of-week and the time of the last Sync event.

Color coding in the "Date" and "Time" field in "Person Assignment"

Hi,
What does it mean when the color of the values for the "Date" and "Time" fields under the tab "Person Assignment" on an activity element in the project builder (CJ20N) turn red?
Regards,
Petter Kvalvik

Hi,
I dont suppose we have any option to achieve this at Query Designer level. Your requirement can be achieved in Workbook,
Insert text template in one of the cell in your workbook, context menu--properties-Constant Tab----Check Display last Refreshed. Doing this you will get Date and Time of last refreshed data.
Thanks,

Reseting the date and time on photosmart 5510

Having replaced the internal battery,the date and time on scanned items to memory card is giving 1st january 2001.how can i reset this.

Hey @dube55,
I am aware that your Photosmart model does not have a fax. Because I do not have a Photosmart 5510 here and have no access to the Embedded Web Server I gave you the generic tab options. My apologies for the confusion.
The Date and Time option under the Embedded Web Server for your printer should be located under Settings or Tools. It may be under a sub-menu on the left hand side, such as System or Preferences. Feel free to click on the options to explore what you are able to alter on your machine.
If you still do not see a Date and Time option we will need to run a Power Reset on the printer. Doing so should prompt you to enter the date and time when reconfiguring your printer. If this fails, we may need to run a Factory Restore.
How to Perform a Hard Reset:
Turn your printer ON
With the printer ON disconnect the power cable from the rear of the printer for 30 seconds
Plug the power cable back in
The printer should start back up on its own
Once the printer returns to the ready state, try another scan to verify if the time and date stamp is correct
Should the issue persist, please proceed with the reset below.
How to Restore Factory Defaults:
Turn your printer ON
Touch the right arrow button until you see Setup (wrench)
Touch the Setup button
Select Tools
Select Restore Factory Defaults
Choose Yes
Once the Restore is complete your printer should start back up and may prompt you to enter the date and time.
Please let me know if these steps work for you. Best of luck!

On the initial set up for apple tv it just sits there trying to set the date and time . it is a wireless setup and the ipaddress and router address is correct . I can't get by this screen. The setting is on automatic and I have picked a city in my time zone yet it still tries to set a time and date but fails.
thanks

Make sure router is up to date. Try ethernet to rule out any wifi issues. Reboot ATV and router.

HT3180 The date and time on my Apple TV is not setting, anyone that can help me? Please!

I can't get the date and time to set up on the Apple TV, how can I fix this problem? I tried restarting and that's not helping.

Hi Jhoana82,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest you unplug the Apple TV for thirty seconds to restart it, then restore it to the factory settings.
Click on the links below for more details and screenshots ...
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): How to restart your Apple TV
You can also reset your Apple TV by unplugging it from the power source for thirty seconds.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
On Apple TV, choose Settings > General > Reset, and then click Restore.
Your Apple TV will restore to its factory settings, and will also download and install the latest Apple TV software update. This process may take some time. Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.
I hope you are back up and running with your Apple TV soon!

HT1595 The date and time can't be set? What to do?

The date and time can't be set?

I'm having the same issue today on several of our Apple TVs. I am the Director of Technology in a school district and starting this morning I am getting reports that Apple TVs are not working and upon investigation they all sit at setting date and time. All network setting are properly configured. The firewall is set to allow port 123 both TCP and UDP from all internal clients. It occurs both over WiFi and Ethernet.
Is the Apple Time Server experiencing issues?

I just bought my apple tv and it says that it can't set the date and time? How do i fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
A number of users have encountered this problem, for existing users the problem has largely been resolved by restarting the Apple TV. However since you are a new user it would be wise to check that your settings are correct to begin with. Ensure the router allows access over port 123 (TCP) and that you are using the DNS settings provided by the ISP and not your own.

My Apple TV won't set the date and time! What can I do???

That means it's having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly. DNS should be set to automatic. Ensure router is up to date, reboot all devices. If on wifi try ethernet.

Why can't I set the date and time insert to the format I want?
