Mac MX 2004 modified file time wrong
When I save a file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 (on an Intel Mac
under OS X 10.4.10), it sets an incorrect "modified" date/time: the
date/time of the file as viewed in the Finder, or on the website
after PUTting the file, is 10 hours less that it should be.
For example, if I save a file in Dreamweaver at 8am, the
date/time modified as shown by the Finder is 10pm the previous day.
That is also the date/time displayed by an FTP program after I use
Dreamweaver to PUT the file.
My Date & Time settings in System Preferences are
correct, including the time zone (Eastern US -- EDT). My website is
hosted +3 hours away (Pacific Time).
I vaguely remember being able to set a time offset for the
webserver under some Windows version of Dreamweaver, but I can't
seem to find any similar setting for Mac MX 2004.
Thanks for your response. I should have mentioned that
Dreamweaver MX has been updated to the latest version, 7.0.1.
The main reason it is a problem is that the website is also
worked on by others using Windows. Not knowing on which platform a
file was last edited means not knowing when it was last edited
updated. If it was just me editing all the files, I could just add
10 hours to every date/time and I'd know when something was last
edited. But I can't do that.
A second reason is that it makes me wonder if our website's
backup system (which I have no control over) is working properly.

I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?
Do it with a Firewire cable (buy a 800/400 adapter if you need it) - the USB transfer takes a much longer time.
Start up your old PowerMac G4 holding down the "T" key, for target disk mode.
On your new MacBook Pro open "Migration Assistant" in your utilities folder.
Connect the 2 computers by firewire cable and follow the prompts in Migration Assistant. -
How do I use Time Machine on my Mac to back up files stored on an AirDisk?
I have a Macbook Pro 17-inch, Mid 2009, with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I use an external HDD connected directly to my Mac via FireWire 800 for Time Machine backups. I have an external HDD connected to my Airport Extreme (Gigabit) router that I use for file storage. My iTunes library and iPhoto library are both stored on this AirDisk. Can I use Time Machine on my Mac to back up the files that I store on my AirDisk? If so, then please describe how to do so. Thank you for your assistance.
Unmount and physcially disconnect the TimeMachine drive and reboot the computer without it being connected.
Reboot the comptuer with the disk inside the machine holding the option or c key down, select the disk to boot from.
Second screen in is the installer, under the Ulitites menu is Disk Utility.
Use Disk Utility to Erase with Security option Zero all Data if your planning to wipe the drive and install 10.6
Don't do the above if your simply reinstalling only OS X 10.6 to cure a problem with it.

Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d1&search=Firefox+for+Mac+preferences+shows+.qif+file+format+for+quicken+as+%22quicktime+image+format%22-wrong+application+and+won%27t+let+me+select+anything+else&showform=1
Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
thanks for any help.
Val in SeattleWell, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

My mac 10.8 does no have the file, com.apple.desktop. plist I wentto lIbrary, preference and look for it and it is not where in my mac. I also launch time machine and file is no where on my Mac. How do I get this file back?
thanksSystem files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

Identify modified date/time and name of SOURCE file
I can't seem to find a way to store/retrieve the last-modified date/time of the SOURCE file (as well as filename) used to create a PDF. I looked into the default metadata, but it seems to store only the last-modified date of the PDF.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm a little slow, but I would need more detailed specs on how to solve the problem. Is this something you have implemented yourself? If so, how?

Screen shot file time is wrong
I've taken a few screen shots in the past couple of days. I'm noticing that the time on the file is wrong for all of them. For example, I take a screen shot at 11:30 a.m., and the file, saved on the desktop, shows that the screen shot was taken at 3:03 a.m. The computer time is accurate, however. Anyone have any idea why this might be and how I might correct it?
Anybody?

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.I know what happened. When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box. Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.

Can't save modified file to a folder in an image disk directly
I have an image disk on an external drive (firewire) and if I try to save a modified file of an existing file or do a "save as" to a folder, I'm always sent to the root directly of the finder and I have to navigate myself all the way back to the destination folder, every time. MS Word is even worse. I get a message that I have the wrong path and then it sends me back to the root directory. When I get back to the destination folder, MS Word accepts it but shows the message again, anyway. This doesn't happen if I save to the image disk directly and not go into a folder.
HI Owen,
Perhaps your Quicken preference files are corrupted, it's not bad, and an easy fix. Locate this file or one that is similar: com.quicken.plist It should be here; MacintoshHD/Users/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file, your Mac will create a new one for you.
Also, here's the link to the Quicken forums; http://www.quickencommunity.com/

Mac OS X Server, File Sharing, Permission
Hi All,
I’m trying to use Mac os X server Maverick in a small team within my
organization. I was able to successfully install and setup the server, which
resides in a local network. I did the following setup:
1 ) Open Directory Setup
2 ) File Sharing , /Users , available for home directory over AFP
3 ) Created Network users with home folder pointing to /Users
4 ) Bound Clients to the server
5 ) XCode Server Setup with git repository
Users now can login using their own account and their home folder
is loaded from the server. Unfortunately there are issues. Clients are having permission issues,
which we have never encountered on local machines before we switched to using XCode Server.
Here is a list of some of the issues so far
Xcode issues on client computer:
a) When creating a XCode project, it reports the error “Couldn’t not find build module Drawin” when clicking create
button.I found online a workaround fix that supposedly works, which is to set "Enable Modules (C and Objective C)"
to No. But we didn’t have to do this before using XCode server.
b ) When committing to git repo , the following error happens “fatal: Repository has been updated ,
but unable to write to new_index. Check the disk is not full or quota is not exceeded ,
and then "git reset HEAD" to recover” Another work around we found online is to do on the client,
cp index backup ; mv backup index
We don’t want to have to do this every time we create a project, what could be wrong with the setup?You need to run Server Admin and click on the File Sharing icon at the top. Then click on Share Points, and Browse. You then browse to the folder you want to set the permissions on.
You will see in the bottom half of the window the current permissions. While in theory you can use just POSIX permissions, Snow Leopard prefers using ACL permissions. So as an example to set a folder to be only accessible by members of a specific group and to deny access to everyone else you would do the following.
Click on the + symbol at the bottom
A window will open listing all your users and groups, click on groups at the top
Find the special 'Everyone' group and drag it to the ACL section
Find the group you want to give access to and also drag that to the ACL section but make sure it is above the Everyone group as higher setting override lower settings
Set the Everyone group to Deny Read permission, this will prevent them being able to access this folder
Set the group you do want to have access to Allow Read or Allow Read/Write, the first would let them only be able to read, the second also allows them to create files or modify files.
Now click on the Save button in the bottom right.
You might also want to click on the gear wheel symbol and choose 'Propagate permissions' if you want to apply these permissions to all the files and folders within this folder. -
Why is Mac Office:2004/2008 acting strange?
After I upgrade to Lion 10.7.3 over a month or so, I experience problems with some of my documents in Word or Excel. The Excel opens to READ only and I am the only pperson that has the priviledge for it. Also when I go to leave a cell, the curson locks on the cell and grabs everthing in the path I move my mouse. I try to click it loose and nothing happens. After a while I do get back control of the document, but again it begins to behave strangely.
In my Word documents, I would be typing and all of a sudden the curson is some other place on the page inserting my input in the wrong place.
I have spent hours on the phone with the tech support people with Microsoft and Apple, but no one seems to be able to have my errant software work properly. In my furstration I purchased the 2011 version of Mac Office. I stll have the same problems after installing it.
I just realized also that when I did an upgrade of the MS Mac Office:2004 to 2007, I continued to save my documents in the 2008 version, but selected the 2004 format to save them. I understand that 2004 will not even open in the Lion OS X. So I am beginning to think I may have created an anomoly by intergrating the two versions while in the Lion OS X version. Does anyone have any nsight to this?
Also as part of my frustration with this software proble, I am not able to restart or shut down my Mac Mini from the drop down menu. The wheel just spins and spins for minutes and minutes, so I finally do a power shut down. The restart it by pressing the power button again to turn it on. Any clue to fix this problem.
My Mac Mini is a 2009 vintage. I am not an extremely knowledgable computer person. I need help. Thanks!I have contacted them many many times. For two days I waited on the phone for over 1 1/2 hours. All total I have been on the phone with them over 6 hours and they are not able to find any problems with what I am experiencing. Thus I fell there is something with the Lion OS X that is the main source of this glitch. Thanks for your input.

My Mac's name is changing time by time...
Hi,
I've just upgraded to Yosemite, but all goes wrong, BT, speed down, wallets stopped synronise from iCloud/Drive between mac an ios, so lost f...ing importand passwords AND my Mac's name is changing time by time, many times a day....
I set up in zac.local and the name is Zac, 10 minutes later in finder I see Zac (2) and Zac (3) !!!! What the ****!!! Who is 2, 3?
I checked zac.local isn't changed but there were Zac (2)... repair... then drop a file by airdrop to my macmini and it wrote Zac (2) send.... ???????
All my macs and IOS what we have in family went crazy after upgrade to Yosemite / IOS 8 (now 8.1)
I did SMC and PRAM reset, bit better now, but why change mac's name ???? Any idea? How to solve?
Thanks!If you're running Mac OS X client, then launch System Preferences, select Sharing, and fill in the blank.
If you're running Mac OS X Server variant (and this is one of the Server forums), then changing the name of the server is rather different, and involves using the changeip command and quite possibly a trip through the DNS definitions for the host. -
How can I make a droplet save a modified file next to the original file?
I am having a problem getting a Photoshop Droplet save a modified file next to the original file. That is, when I drag a file "page_6.pdf" from some directory onto my droplet, I want it to do its work and save a modified "page_6.psd" in that same directory.
This isn't working for me on Photoshop CC 2014 on Mac OS 10.10.
I have an Action which has an Open command, with the filename "page_1.pdf". Then it has a bunch of editing commands. Then it has a "Save As... Photoshop format" command, and a Close command. When I run this action within Photoshop, it brings up Open and Save As dialogues, and works fine.
In creating the droplet, I used File... Automate... Create Droplet..., and selected the following options:
Override Action "Open" commands
Destination menu value = Folder
Using Choose... button, select an output folder, Directory_1/ .
Check Override Action "Save As Commands" is checked
For File Naming, I use [Document Name] + "_deleteme" + [extension]
When I drag a folder, say "page_5.pdf" from some directory onto the droplet, Photoshop runs the Action on the document. However, it saves the modified document in Directory_1/, regardless of where the original file came from. And it always names the modified document "page_1_deleteme.psd", instead of using the Document Name of the original file.
If I modify the Open command in the Action to mention a different file, then the droplet always names the modified document with that name. It's as if Document Name in the File Naming dialogue always reflects what's in the Open command in the Action. But -- I asked the droplet to Override Action "Open" commands!
When I set the Destination menu value to "Save and Close", then when I drag a file onto the droplet, the droplet opens a File Save dialogue and forces me to tell it where to store the file. I don't understand this behaviour, and have a hard time reconciling it with the documentation at Photoshop Help | Processing a batch of files .
(Interestingly, when Destination menu value = None or Save and Close, Photoshop displays an alert about overwriting an existing droplet when I click OK to save. But when Destination menu value = Folder, there is no alert about overwriting existing droplet.)
How can I set up a droplet so that it writes the modified file in the same directory as the original file, and with the same root filename, but a different extension to reflect the different output file format?
Has anyone else made a droplet behave this way on Photoshop CC 2014 on Mac OS X 10.10?
Thanks in advance for your help.Thanks for your insights.
Does my Action need to include an Open command? I sure thought so, because of how the Photoshop Help | Processing a batch of files documentation describes 'Override Action “Open” Commands'.
"...If the action contains an Open command that opens a saved file and you don't select this option, the Batch command opens and processes only the file you used to record the Open command..." I don't want to operate only the file I used to record the Open command. However, this sentence doesn't say that an Open command should be part of a droplet Action.
"...Deselect this option if the action was recorded to operate on an open file..." Maybe I if I rethink my Action as operating on an open file, then the Droplet will take care of the Open for me. However, I have less control over the options the droplet's Open command uses.
I'll try disabling the Open command, and create a Droplet with that.
