Adam Tow's utility to set dates in Aperture

Adam Tow is expecting to release a utility shortly that will set Aperture database image dates. So scans can finally have correct dates, and it will be possible to correct image dates.
http://www.tow.com/2006/10/13/timature/ has the announcement.
I played a small role in this, of which I'm quite pleased.
Of course you will want to use this only experimentally, perhaps on a special-purpose Aperture Library, until it's been out a while and well tested.

It seems to me that Aperture uses both a SQL-lite database, and a plist-derived distributed store for its data - just look at any Aperture library bundle, every photo is in both the database and the plist.
What happens when you change the database and don't update the plists ? Or are you running an Applescript interface (I guess the "official" Apple interface will do the right thing). Does Aperture realise that you've changed its database, and automatically change its plist representation ? Or do you change the plists as well (sorry if that's already the case, but I've not seen anyone talk about altering those...)
It's just that I've noticed that in my vaults, there are all sorts of plists, and no database files - the implication is that the plists are what is important for recovery. I'd hate to restore from a vault and effectively lose all my alterations.
I guess this is pretty obvious, and I'm probably wrong about how it all works, but I'm a programmer by trade, so my instinct is to assume no program does anything more than it says on the box... If you've coped with this, I'd be happy to be told how

Keychain problem and "Set date and time automatically"

Something very strange appened to me today. I spent a few hours to get it through.
All starts when I decided to open System Preferences and *set date and time manually* (I lost date and time because I left my PowerBook without its battery for an hour). At the next login, Leopard was no more able to access keychain's stored passwords, even if all items on Keychain Access were right there. Everytime I tried to read one item's password, a pop-up window reminded me that I had not the right to do it. As soon as I set back "date and time" on automatic (time.euro.apple.com - for me) all became normal (all iCal reminders appeared at on time) and all services started to get their passwords from the stored list.
Sorry for my English (I'm from Italy).
Someone got the same issue?

That looks like the correct IP address for the Apple NTP. Not sure why your AEBS is not getting the time stamp.
Would you mind double-checking the following setting, using the AirPort Admin Utility?
AirPort Tab - Base Station Options: Logging/NTP
- Set Date & Time Automatically: time.apple.com (checked)
Is it possible that you have UDP blocked on port 123? Is your AEBS connected to another Internet router?

How to set Date in RFC call.

Hi,
I am trying to set date in structure when calling RFC.
ICall = function.getImportParameterList();
ICall.getStructure("IORDER").setValue(eDate,"EDATE");
EDATE is date field in Structure in RFC with data type "D" and it is taking date in "dd.mm.yyyy"; formate.
I am setting date "dd.mm.yyyy"; in string format with eDate variable and it is throwing error.
Can any one tell me How I can set date for "EDATE" field in proper format.
Can I do JCO.TYPE_DATE date1 = new java.util.Date();
And How I can convert date in acceptable format "dd.mm.yyyy"; for RFC.
Thanks for your help
Ashish

Hi Sateesh,
Thanks for your Answer.
I used java.util.date and it works fine.
Icall.getStructure("IOrder").setValue(new java.util.date(), "EDATE")
I came to know that java date variabel can be passed without any extra conversion to ABAP type D variable .
Is it OK? As I am setting java date variable directly to ABAP type d variable in RFC.
I have awarded you points for very helpful answer.
Thanks.
Ashish.

How to set Date in input field by hard coding in application

Hi all,
1.I have to make a date(its my choice to set the date) to appear in input field which is date type.
2.How to compare two numbers of type decimal. for example greatest of two numbers
urgent requirement

Hi
Check the http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Calendar.html
Sample Code
Date now = new Date();
      DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
      String s = df.format(now);
      System.out.println("Today is " + s);
java.sql.Date descends from java.util.Date, but uses only the year, month and day values. There are two methods to create a Date object. The first uses a Calendar object, setting the year, month and day portions to the desired values. The hour, minute, second and millisecond values must be set to zero. At that point, Calendar.getTime().getTime() is invoked to get the java.util.Date milliseconds. That value is then passed to a java.sql.Date constructor:
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    // set Date portion to January 1, 1970
    cal.set( cal.YEAR, 1970 );
    cal.set( cal.MONTH, cal.JANUARY );
    cal.set( cal.DATE, 1 );
    cal.set( cal.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0 );
    cal.set( cal.MINUTE, 0 );
    cal.set( cal.SECOND, 0 );
    cal.set( cal.MILLISECOND, 0 );
    java.sql.Date jsqlD =
       new java.sql.Date( cal.getTime().getTime() );
The second method is java.sql.Date's valueOf method. valueOf() accepts a String, which must be the date in JDBC time escape format - "yyyy-mm-dd". For example,
    java.sql.Date jsqlD = java.sql.Date.valueOf( "2010-01-31" );
creates a Date object representing January 31, 2010. To use this method with a Calendar object, use:
    java.sql.Date jsqlD = java.sql.Date.valueOf(
            cal.get(cal.YEAR) + ":" +
            cal.get(cal.MONTH) + ":" +
            cal.get(cal.DATE) );
which produces a Date object with the same value as the first example.

When attempting to format region and set date and time the busy icon appears and seems to stay like this?

when attempting to format region and set date and time the busy icon appears and seems to stay like this?

Click on DU's Partition tab when you have the raw drive name selected, then set it to one partition, Mac OS Extended. If it crashes or freezes, it is finding a bad block and can't write.
In any event, if you want to use the drive, and have not zeroed it before, you should now.
Click on Erase -> Security Options -> Zero out data. Still with the full drive selected and not any partition(s).
Then repartition the drive if needed.
Boot from the DVD if that doesn't work. And no, TTPro has never mapped out bad blocks let alone create partitions.
Disk Utility in 10.4.8 is quite good, excellent in fact. No need for an alternative.
Your eMac drive may need to touch of Disk Utility itself. FSCK from the command line, clear the caches with Applejack along with check for corrupt plists. Between Disk Utilty and Applejack (free/shareware) never had to use TechTool Pro - or at least there weren't any errors after those two got done. But if you want a good 3rd party, pick up Disk Warrior 4.

Set Date & Time Automatically

I have an Airport Extreme tied to a cable modem. I also have an Airport Express setup using WDS (remote base station). On both the Exteme and the Express I have checked "Set Data & Time Automatically" and selected "time.apple.com".
The Extreme finally has the correct date and time. (And I assume year.) However, the Express keeps loggin this error; "No address for NTP server time.apple.com." (I am using the "AirPort Management Utility" to view the logs for each Airport.)
I tried typing in the raw ip address for time.apple.com but it didn't change anything. Other then this minor issue both Airports are working fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Your setup is similar to mine but my Express is in Client Mode not WDS. Here are some of the log entries I see. After it powers up the time is wrong and it reports the same as you of "No address for NTP server time.apple.com." but after a short time it does!

OutlineLoad utility not loading data

Hello,
I am loading data into Workforce Planning 11.1.2.1 with OutlineLoad utility (In "Administration>Data Load Settings" Data Load Dimension is "Employee", Driver Dimension is "Account" with loaded account members listed).
I load accounts of "Date" data type which are in "yyyymmdd" format in my CSV file - so these accounts are not loaded.
I will be very grateful for any hints on how to resolve my issues!
Thank you!
Edited by: Jedi Knight on Sep 20, 2012 2:21 PM

I am not sure which patch version you are running but from 11.1.2.1.102 there was an additional parameter available for when loading date type members.
"The date format setting for accounts of type “Date” was not always respected in the Outline Load Utility. This patch resolves this issue. It also enables youto override the date format defined in the ‘Attribute Date Format’ setting in the ‘Application Settings’ dialog using the new “/DF” parameters:
· /DF:MM-DD-YYY
The date data type values on a data load are assumed to be month-day-year. For example, 12-23-2011
· /DF:DD-MM-YYYY
The date data type values on a data load are assumed to be day-month-year. For example, 23-12-2011
· /DF:YYYY-MM-DD
The date data type values on a data load are assumed to be year-month-day. For example, 2011-12-23
This is a sample .csv file and command parameters:
Value,Driver Member,Data Load Cube Name, Point-of-View
12-22-2011,aDate,Plan1,"e1,Local,Jan, Current, BU Version_1, FY11"
OutlineLoad /A:<app name> /U:<admin user name> /DF:MM-DD-YYYY /I:c:\<.csv file name> /TR /L:c:/ outlineLoad.log /X:c:/outlineLoad.exc"

"Set date & time automatically" not staying checked

I don't know if this has already been discussed (searched and found nothing) but I just noticed tonight that on both my black MacBook and my new MacBook Pro will not retain the "Set date & time automatically" function. I check the box, close the window, open the date & time settings pane again and it's unclicked. I have no idea when this began happening but it's getting pretty annoying. I believe this could also be contributing to the older MacBook not working with Back to my Mac anymore.
Anyone else having this problem?

HI,
Open System Preferences/Date & Time. Make sure the box is checked for automatic. Now click the gold padlock icon so it's closed. You will be prompted for your admin password. Quit System Preferences and restart your Mac.
See if that helps.
If not... Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

How to set data in rtf document?

Hi friends,
I have a rtf document can anyone suggest how to set data in cells of an rtf document?Is there any way?
Thanks in advance..
Regards ,
Soumyanil

Convert the resultSet from the db to a Object[][], let's call it result.
Then create a JTable (jTable1).
On the JTable you need to define the headers, and the data itself.
You can get the headers from ResultSetMetaData. Convert these to an array again (headers).
Now use these methods to create a model and set the model of the JTable.
Model model = new DefaultTableModel(result, headers);
jTable1.setModel(model);That's about the basics.
If you need more info, use at the tutorial at sun's homepage.

Dynamically Set date not changing in schedule Job

Hi,
I have created a report with "Order Date" as one of the parameters on the selection screen. I have created a variant, say 'X' , to set this date parameter dynamiccaly as "Current date - 31 days".
I have scheduled this program to run in background with the 'X' variant daily at certain time.
Now, for the day on which I created this job , the Order Date is set to correct date . For ex if I am scheduling the job tdy it will be set to 06/10/08. However, for next day , that is tom this date is not getting changed. i.e Tommorrow again Order date is 06/10/08 but it should have been 07/10/08.
So basically this dynamically set date is not chaning in the scheduled job.
Any idea why this is happening and what is the corrective measure for this.
Thanks!

There is an INITIALIZATION event in the program.......
Do the processing your date in that event only....
for ex....
select-options: date for order-date.
INITIALIZATION.
date-low = sy-datum or wat ever.
Thanks

HT5706 I have not used my apple tv in a few years, and just got it out of the bag. I connected it up, and it cannot set date, time. it also does not interact with the remote. Could it be as simple as a new batter is needed for remote?

I have not used my Apple TV in a few years, and just got it out of the bag to use on a new TV. I connected it up to power and with an HDMI cable toTV. It attempts to set date and time and cannot. I cannot get the remote to interact with the box also. Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery?

Hi kybriar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take to troubleshoot the remote itself:

Programatically set date of picktime.vi

I am using the picktime.vi calendar as a subpanel (yes...i am aware there is an activex calendar -- using it is not an option right now). Anyways, what I want to do is if a user wants to edit a record that was on the date 1/1/11 but currently the date selected in the calendar is 2/2/11, I want to programmatically set the date back to 1/1/11. I can use value signaling properties to set the month and year, but because the date is a MC listbox controlled in the VI only through mouse up/keyup events I am not sure how to set this. Does anyone have any ideas?
One thought I have is to add a state to the VI called set date, but I'm trying not to modify it since it is native to LabVIEW and is called when the calendar icon is pressed next to a timestamp control. I could make a copy of this VI and do that, but again, I'm trying to avoid this.
Suggestions?
The picktime.vi is located in <LabVIEW Dir>\resource\dialog
CLA, LabVIEW Versions 2010-2013

Thanks for the response, but no this is not exactly what I want. I don't want to actually change the date of the computer, I just want to set the date the calendar has selected to some other date. The computers date/time is only used on initialization of the VI or when the user pressed the "now" boolean.
Think of it this way --
I select 1/24/11 on the calendar and add a record for that date, which puts an entry in a MC listbox
I then select 1/22/11 on the calendar and add a record for that date which puts another entry in a MC listbox
So, now the calendar shows 1/22/11 highlighted
Then I say, oops, the record I entered for 1/24/11 has a typo, so I select that record in the MC listbox and press edit to make the change
The calendar should then be set back to highlighting January, 24 2011.

Problem overloading "set data" function on Button DataGrid Renderer

Hi all, I'm hoping this is something simple.
I have a class that extends mx.controls.Button and implements mx.core.IDataRenderer. I need to set the button icon whenever the Data property is set from the DataGrid. My problem is that my overloaded set/get Data function are never called (I've stepped through the code in debug). Instead the set/get functions in Container.as (Flex 3.4 SDK) get called.
Here's the basics code:
exportButtonRenderer.as
package controls
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import mx.controls.Button;
    import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
    import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
    import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
    import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    import mx.controls.Alert;
    import model.descriptors.compDescriptor;
    import events.exportClickedEvent;
    public class exportButtonRenderer extends Button implements IDataRenderer
        //    embed your icons
        [Embed(source='/assets/icons/export.png')]
        [Bindable]
        public static var imageExport:Class;
        [Embed(source='/assets/icons/blank.png')]
        [Bindable]
        public static var imageBlank:Class;
        public function exportButtonRenderer()
            super();
        private var _listData:DataGridListData;
        override public function get listData():BaseListData
            return _listData;
        override public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
            _listData = DataGridListData(value);
        private var _data:Object;
        override public function get data():Object
            return _data;
        override public function set data(value:Object):void
            _data = value;
        override protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            super.clickHandler(event);
Now I know I'm using the Flexlib TreeGrid and not a standard DataGrid but when I trace through all the code all code firing the set/get functions is coming from the DataGrid anyway.
Here's the my Grid def in my main app mxml:
Header 1
<flexlib:TreeGrid
        id="MKTXGrid"
        dragEnabled="false" sortableColumns="false" showRoot="false"

        disclosureOpenIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/arrow_down.png')"
        folderOpenIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/psd.png')"
        folderClosedIcon="@Embed(source='/assets/icons/psd.png')"
        click="MKTXGrid_clickHandler(event)"
         doubleClickEnabled="true" doubleClick="MKTXGrid_doubleClickHandler(event)" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="16">

                            <controls:click>
                                <![CDATA[
                                    import events.exportClickedEvent;
                                    var e:exportClickedEvent = new exportClickedEvent();
                                    e.itemData = data;
                                    dispatchEvent(e);
                                ]]>
                            </controls:click>
                        </controls:exportButtonRenderer>
                    </mx:Box>
                </mx:Component>
            </mx:itemRenderer>
            </mx:DataGridColumn>
        </flexlib:columns>
    </flexlib:TreeGrid>
Nothing too special going on.
I know this can be done, I've seen examples in the SDK:
http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/durango/trunk/ExternalFlexTools/com/dougmccune/ containers/accordionClasses/AccordionHeader.as
By the way I've stepped through the code of the TreeGridItemRenderer class in Flexlib which works correctly and the class def starts like this:
TreeGridItemRenderer.as
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.InteractiveObject;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.geom.Point;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flexlib.controls.TreeGrid;
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
import mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject;
import mx.core.IToolTip;
import mx.core.SpriteAsset;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.core.UITextField;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.events.ToolTipEvent;
import mx.events.TreeEvent;
import mx.managers.ILayoutManagerClient;
import mx.styles.IStyleClient;
public class TreeGridItemRenderer extends UIComponent
                                  implements IDataRenderer,
                                               IDropInListItemRenderer,
                                             ILayoutManagerClient,
                                               IListItemRenderer
Any help would be great!

That's because you put your component in a Box. The DataGrid is setting the Box's .data property and no code is setting the one on your component. You shouldn't really need Box. You can override updateDisplayList to center your Button instead.
