Why folder "Date Modified" doesn't reflect files and subfolders?

Hello.
I have a folder with a "Date Modified" of March 2, 2010.
When I open the folder, I see subfolders and files with more recent dates (...like April 7, 2010).
Isn't the folder "Date Modified" supposed to change with the changing of contents held within the folder?

Hi. So here goes my story. I'm allways keep my MacMini turned on at night. So I work late and re-start working at the day after. And than... voilá: the files I modify are displayed as "Today" modified, instead "Yesterday". During my work, sometime, the file list is refreshed and starts to display the correct date modified. At this middle time, some bizarre lists appears, like a "Today" after "Yesterday" in the list - the order becomes messed as I modify another files.
In my case, webdesign & programming, I use the FTP (Fetch) app to browse local files inside apache's root folder, and Fetch never mess with date modified listing. I's a way out if I'm hurry.
The point is the system is not given high priority to finder's file list as before, becouse this can slow down your mac if there is a lot of windows opened. They should put a refresh button when they made this modification, but those who work in programming knows this thing - fix this bug here, make another one somewhere...

Why a folder "Date Modified" doesn't reflect its latest modified files?

Hello,
I seem to not be the only one trying to find a solution to the following issue.
Let's say you have a folder A, with different files/sub-folders in.
When saving a file, the "date modified" of folder A doesn't update accordingly.
It becomes a real nightmare when you need to backup tons folders and files, as you never know what has truly been modified, unless you dig in and open every single folder each time to check.
For some reason, the folder A only updates its "date modified" when a file has been added or removed.
Or, sometimes for some reason, folder A updates with the last opened, when who cares of that.
I'm working on the latest Imac Intel puchased on dec 2012, with Mac OS X 10.8.4.
If anyone can help, that would be great!
Many many thanks!

Only the originator of a thread, the one who asks the question, can award points.
If I understand your situation you have a folder that contains sub-folders that contain files and you want to see which sub-folder has the most recent file in it? Or more likely just find the most recent file.
I would look at using a Finder smart folder to search and display the most recent file in a folder tree. Start the search at the top and just look for the most recent file.
You might also, if you are on Mavericks, use the new tagging feature in some way. Say make a tag 'newest' and apply it to the file you last modify, The drawback here is you would need to remove the tag from the last 'newest' file. Might not be to bad.

How to change "Date Added" to "Date Modified"in Open a File dialoge

Ever since updating IOS to the latest version the option to sort by "Date Modified" in the open a file dialog has been changed to "Date Added". How can I change this back to "Date Modified"?

Hmm, in OpenSolaris and Solaris Express, the date format is a preference in the Nautilus Preferences dialog. But I don't see it back in JDS 3.
One way (assuming you're using a bash shell) is:
% gnome-session-remove nautilus
% LANG=de_DE nautilus &
which works, but also switches the rest of the nautilus UI into German.
Setting LC_TIME rather than LANG in the second command should work better, because it changes only the dates/times into German. But it still uses the 12 hour clock, with "vorm." and "nachm." instead of "am" and "pm". I suppose that might be considered a bug...

I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this.

Open folder, date modified date changing

I finally updated to OSX Lion and now when i access our Windows server 2012 server, as soon as i click to open a folder the date modified date changes to today. I am not opening any files just viewing the contents of the folder. This is causing a problem since we use the date modfied to sort customers jobs often.
It started after I installed OSX Lion. Any ideas?

Items "date modified" column when viewing files as list in finder

I'm not really sure if I can change this viewing option, but i will give it a try:
when viewing files as list in finder, "yesterday" items "date modified" column shows up with the term "yesterday", while this does not happen for "today" items, where what shows up is just today's date and not the term "today".
I found this rather confusing, since it is not immediate: i.e. if I want to check for items modified today at a glance, i need to pick today's date from a ist with a number of different dates. As a matter of fact, it's a way easier when checking for yesterday's items.
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks!

toygal -- welcome to the Aperture user-to-user forum. iPhoto was designed with you in mind. Aperture is 100x more complicated (and no faster). I strongly recommend that you revert to iPhoto and use it. Compared to Aperture, it will bring you more pleasure and cause you much less frustration. Whoever told you that Aperture is faster not only was wrong, they failed to take into consideration the hours that you would have to practice to become comfortable with it.
Here are some threads which briefly touch on the difference between iPhoto and Aperture -- use the search to find many more.

OD 10.8 All dates modified for home folders & files changes on login

We upgraded our network server to 10.8 recently, and now whenever a user logs on, all the files & folders in their home reset the date modified to the login time. It's the most bizarre glitch I've ever seen.
Possibly, but not likely related, their mouse settings (or at least natural scrolling setting) are not retained.
Has anyone else encountered this weird behavior? New accounts/imported accounts are all effected. Doesnt matter if they login from a 10.7 or 10.8 machine. OS is up to date on both the clients and server.

Why does long list of files and subfolders scroll to top of finder window when a folder midway or down the list is opened?

I am not sure how long ago this first occured, but when I upgraded to OS 10.8, I was hoping this would correct itself. Now I am not sure if it is a bug or just the way Finder works. When I have a Finder window with many files and folders, and I open a folder > midway through the list while previous files and/or folders have already scroll off the top of the window, the window scrolls up to the beginning of the list and I need to scoll back down to wee what is in the folder.
I thought the finder window stayed steady and the folder openned revealing its contents without the finder window scrolling. The only work around I have found for this is to always double-click a folder open, so it is the new Finder window.
Problem or not?
Thanks,
Ray

About the only thing I can say is to keep going to Verizon, or calling customer service to get them to look at the issues. I talked to 1 rep that told me to dial either 4# symbols, or 4* symbols (Can't remember which it was) after I got the VM message but did not have the phone ring, so it would mark my account record and they could search and troubleshoot the issue.
As far as your upgrade, I think you have done the right thing so far, and that is signing up on this forum, that way you can look at the different phone forums and see what issues that people are having. Talking to people that have the phone is a great way to find out what the issues are. Verizon Sales reps will only sell you the latest and greatest, or if there is something that they are being told to push to get out of stock.
Going with an iPhone is ok, just make sure it is correct for you, because like you said earlier, once it is done, it is done and you are stuck with it for 2 years. I had a friend who made a knee-jerk reaction to a bad phone, and did the same thing. They regretted it after 6 months. I am not saying the iPhone will be bad for you, just make sure you do your homework.

Why does it say "doesn't accept file transfers"?

when I try to send a file over ichat I keep getting the message that "ichat doesn't accept file transfers" What am I doing wrong?

HI,
It can depend on which Jabber server you are using and what has been enabled on that particular Server.
That's one possible.
Another is that the Applications at the other end is not set up to accept File Transfers, such as someone logged in to AIM Express in a web browser will have limited abilities.
Finally, AIM file transfers are on a different port and or internet protocol and this port (and or the Protocol) may not be allowed though your Mac settings in.
Lets start with the last.
AIM Logins in version up to and including version 5 are on port 5190 by default using the TCP Protocol.
We (The regular posters) have been suggesting using port 443 for this for a long time. Now iChat 6 and Messages in Mountain Lion actually use port 443.
File Transfers on on Port 5190 but use the UDP Protocol.
It always uses this and this cannot be changed.
In the Mac Firewall in some versions of the OS UDP traffic can be blocked.
Check the Advanced Button settings.
Of course the port has to be opened in the modem (if it routes) or your router.
In some cases such as the Port Forwarding method you can have models that specify Protocol as well as ports. Opneing it for 5190 and TCP can block it being opened for 5190 and UDP.
If you are using UPnP (Or Apple's Port Mapping Protocol) you should not have problems.
With the second option above you can pull down the Video Menu and open Connection Doctor.
This will tell you your Capabilities.
In a Buddy List highlight a Buddy.
Use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
The Capabilities tab in here will tell you whether the Buddy has the abilities to File Transfer.
The first option I suggested can only really be checked using a Third Party Jabber app such as Psi
Basically after you set up an Account in Psi you can access an option called Service Discovery that iChat (and Messages in Mountain Lion) does not do.
This will tell you if the server is set up for File Transfers or Group chats plus things called Transports.
With some servers you will need to (sub) register for the Services you also want to be active.
Using this method to view Google's GoogleTalk server tells you nothing about the Services they have active.
As you may have worked out you may need to check out the server's ability if you are using a Jabber servers even if the symptom looks more like reason two.

Hi , all , I need to write to alow to export data from db to csv file, now the problem is some column is chinese character, in both db and web page it can dispaly the chinese, but in Csv I can't display chinese character, what should I do?
Thnak you

Are you sure that you have set it on the response? You do not need to set it on the request. Have you read the article? Do you understand the world of characters? It look like you still don't understand it.
by the way, since csv is text file , how can I bold my University number??? in sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("University Number");Not possible with CSV since it is text/plain. Use real XLS if you want to add formatting to cells.

BO Data Services - Reading from excel file and writing to SQL Server Table

Hi,
I would like to read data from an excel file and write it to a SQL Server Data base table without making any transformations using Data Services.

Appreciate your quick help in providing a detailed steps of mapping.

Modify schema using ldif file and ldapmodify

Suppose I want to create a new attribute and add it to a previously created object class; using an ldif file and ldapmpodify.
It seems that my only option is an ldif file that looks like this:
dn:cn=schema
changetype: modify
replace: objectclasses
objectclasses: (...........MAY 'new attribute'...)
This means that the author of the ldif file has to have prior knowledge of the schema, presumably by doing an ldapsearch.
Am I missing anything?
Basically there is a requirement here that developers be able to modify ldap schema on the test server by themselves. (without asking the ldap admin to do so). They currently can add fields to an SQL database with SQL tools so they want to do the same to LDAP.
Any ideas ?

That is correct, you'll have to add the attribute and then replace the objectclass. However, you may have to disable schema checking to modify the objectclass.
Someone pointed out in another thread, you can give write access to the schema and config to another user via ACIs.
Another thing to keep in mind, adding attributes/objectclasses via ldapmodify will put everything in 99user.ldif. This could get messy if you need to upgrade or rebuild an instance. I reccommend creating a 98myapp.ldif (or whatever you want) and putting your application specific objectclasses/attributes in there. This will require stopping/starting the server, but it will give you a good handle on what's been changed. In fact, you could require the developers to keep this file in RCS (or other version control) and then you could have a nice history of changes and the ability to go back if necessary.
