I lost the instructions how to change the clock to include both day and date next to it. Can someone post it again. Thank you.

Date & Time prefpane, clock tab.

No, regular pane doesn't do it. There was a posting on how to do it. I did it on my iMac but can't do it on a Macbook. I will have to find the instructions. They were really neat. It includes the day of the week and the date on the left of the clock.

I instead recommend MagiCal, which is also free. Using the System Preferences approach works, but doesn't offer as many options -- and, more important, can affect date display in other parts of the OS.

I second MagiCal. There was a thread recently on it, and it is great!
Now I'm just waiting for iCal to include a "year" view, then my life will be one smooth, organized wonder. :-) :-) :-) :-)

Magical did not make it for me and I had to restart to get rid of it. I finally set the time and date on both a old portable and a Macbook. On my iMac G5 and the G4 portable it was easy to set the date as in 21/4/07 and the separator on and off by the seconds. Not so on the Macbook. I could set it up only as Saturday January 2007 and no separator between the hour and minutes.

Aloha AlbertR,
I made a PDF of how I did it. You can get it at: http://home.hawaii.r...es2/MacOSX/time[/u]anddatein_menubar.pdf Best of all, it's completely free and easy to accomplish !!!

Thank you. I did it on iMac G5 a Powerbook G4. The Macbook is a horrible problem. I got no separators at all. I ended up making a Icon with the date and time I can place anywhere on the screen. It is beautiful but in the way. I am going to try your way. Thank you and I will let you know.

I looked at your PDF with great hope. Unfortunately it is exactly how I did it on 3 Mac's. It worked perfectly on a G4 a G5 but on the Macbook no separators appear between the different items. I too choose 24 hour scheme and I even choose the separator blinking by the seconds. It all works except on the Macbook. All have OS 10.4.9.
Now the Macbook has a file with the time on the screen, not where I really want it. Works perfectly. I give up!

Albert, what kind of problem did you have with MagiCal? I've used it on a bunch of Macs with no problems at all...

[Albertr]

I am trying to remember. It uses iCal that I do not use at all. I use Remember for years, it fits my need perfectly. Magical is probably good for anybody beside me. I am puzzled by the Macbook's being incapable of showing the separators in the date and time except if you use a file on screen that works perfectly.

A solution: Visit a watch shop buy a watch that has Day, Date, Hours, Minutes, Seconds. Apply to wrist.
