I'm trying to get one month from the current date. Below is what I have and it is returning: 4027-09-24 16:59:00 +0000 . currentDate is right. What's going on? // Get todays date to set the monthly subscription expiration date NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date]; NSLog(@"Current Date = %@", currentDate); NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit fromDate:currentDate]; dateComponents.month = dateComponents.month + 1; NSDate *currentDatePlus1Month = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateByAddingComponents

This code NSCalendar *calendar =[NSCalendar currentCalendar]; [gregorian setTimeZone:tz]; NSLog(@"%@", [gregorian timeZone]); NSDateComponents *comp = [gregorian components:(NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit) fromDate:[NSDate date]]; [comp setDay:info.day]; [comp setMonth:info.month]; [comp setYear:info.year]; [comp setHour:info.hour]; [comp setMinute:info.minute]; [comp setSecond:info.second]; [comp setTimeZone:tz]; NSLog(@"%@", [comp timeZone]); NSLog(@"%@", [gregorian dateFromComponents:comp]); shows the following in console: Europe/Moscow (MSKS) offset 14400 (Daylight) Europe/Moscow

I have this subset of a method that needs to get day one of the current month. NSDate *today = [NSDate date]; // returns correctly 28 february 2013 NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar]; NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init]; components.day = 1; NSDate *dayOneInCurrentMonth = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:today options:0]; dayOneInCurrentMonth then prints out 2013-03-01 09:53:49 +0000 , the first day of the next month. How do I get day one of the current month? Your logic is wrong: Instead of

How to get the first day of a week for a date this seems more easy at it is, since : when the week starts with sunday, i need to get back the sunday date if it starts on monday, i need to get the monday date the input date is any date in week with time... i tried several approaches, but the edge case make it difficould i made a function, which however doesn't work in 100% (not sure about the [components setDay: -weekday + 2];) - (NSDate *)firstDateOfWeek { NSCalendar * calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar]; NSDateComponents *weekdayComponents = [calendar components:(NSDayCalendarUnit |

I am using below piece of code to schedule a localnotification at specific time. But the notification is repeating for every minute instead of after one day. Whether i have missed any notification settings. My timezone is (Asia/Calcutta (IST) offset 19800) and using iPhone 4s. - (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application { NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar autoupdatingCurrentCalendar] ; NSDate *now = [NSDate date]; NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitMonth | NSCalendarUnitDay | NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute)

This is quite a simple concept, but as of yet I have been unable to find an elegant (and calendar locale independent) solution. I need to find the first day of the month for an arbitrary NSDate . For example, given an arbitrary NSDate ( arbitraryDate ) another NSDate object will be returned (let's call this firstDayOfMonthDate ) which represents the first day of the month in arbitraryDate . The time component does not matter, as I just need the NSDate object for the first day of the month (although for neatness it would be useful if the time was just zeroed out). Thanks in advance for any
