Any way to set the file date?

Hi-
I have recently switched to aperture, and imported my iPhoto library.
When I use the "Pictures" screensaver (the one where the pics fall down, looking like polaroids), all of the dates on them are 1/3/09-- the date that they were imported into the library.
It seems that the screensaver uses the file date, rather than the metadata for the date.
Is there any way to get the file date to match the exif date?
The photos are stored in the aperture library, if that matters.
Alternatively, are there any better screensavers for pictures out there (that would work with the aperture library)
thanks,
-jamie

So here's the thing. I'm still looking and I still can't find it. 'Tis a feature you have that I don't but by the sounds of things it's not much use with aperture anyway!
The issue is as I stated above. The screensaver uses the previews generated by aperture and thus references the creation date of the preview files not the original date taken from the EXIF metadata. Hence your problem. If you export jpegs out of aperture they will have today's creation date which (i' haven't been able to test as I can't find the annotations feature but) will be refernced as such by the screen saver.
So the solutions are twofold (and you have suggested them both):
1) Find a screensaver that reads the exif metadata
2) Turn off the feature.
you may possibly be able to send the contents of your smart folder back to iPhoto see if the screen saver reads it from there?
Sorry I can't be more help.
Anyone else able to chime in here?

Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

Hai all,
I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)
regards,

Bro Take it easy.
Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
Now make ur server educated using some commands.
For example:
FileName: <File Name String>
[Means new file is sending by connected client]
FileSize: <File size long or int value>
[ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
DataModeOpen
[Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
DataModeClose
[Means file sending finished]
Close
[Means your client connection is closed]
Now develop a client supporting this command.
For example(Server):
String getFileName=null;
long getFileSize=0;
public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
    if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
           //data mode open so receive data
          receiveData();
          outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
          //close client socket
         getClientSocket.close();
}For client:
DataInputStream dataIn=null;
BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
        //if ok found then do other or show error message
    if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
        if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
            if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
               bout.write(getBytes);
            } else {
               showError(3);
        } else {
               showError(2);
   } else {
        showError(1);
}i think it will help u

Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?

Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
When we try to deploy packages, if you don’t specify the time, it reverts to UTC which for us is off by 5 hours.

Which times are you talking about? Deployment start times or deadlines? Those could be set to UTC *or* client local time.

Is there any way to collect the file list from UTL_FILE_DIR.

I expect the use "Oracle supplied package UTL_FILE" to import our customer order shipments to table by XML format files. I already did the procedure to import one XML file into Table by DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML and UTL_FILE. GET_LINE. And it did work.
My question is :
Is there any way to collect the file list from UTL_FILE_DIR. (I put all import XML files into `/usr/tmp?, I want to get all file names from this folder and feed them into UTL_FILE.FOPEN.)
Thanks in advance

UTL_FILE_DIR is a very dangerous and deprecated parameter. Oracle very specifically recommends not using it. You should be using directory objects instead.
As for doing a directory listing, you can use Java stored proc. External procs/functions are not required.
The following sample shows how to use such a Java stored proc to insert the result of a directory listing into a session temporary table:
create or replace and compile java source named "ListFiles" as
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ListFiles
        public static void getList(String directory, String filter)
        throws SQLException
                File path = new File( directory );
                final String ExpressionFilter = filter;
                FilenameFilter fileFilter = new FilenameFilter() {
                        public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                                if(name.equalsIgnoreCase(ExpressionFilter))
                                        return true;
                                if(name.matches("." + ExpressionFilter))
                                        return true;
                                return false;
                String[] list = path.list(fileFilter);
                String element;
                for(int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
                        element = list;

Is there any way to set the height of choice list or list of values?

Hello Everyone,
(Jdeveloper: 11.1.2.1.0)
I recently created a page with some fields as choice lists and some as list of values. Somehow the choice list when opened it is not displaying data properly (I have 3 rows, it is showing only 2 rows and have to scroll to see third row) . I would like to see if there is any way to set this so that I can see all three rows or set the height of choice list as a fixed height?
Thanks,

Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release. Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
Now Pages will open these files. Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages?

Any way to set the starting hit counter value

I am moving some static pages to a blog template and would like to retain the hit counter values on the new pages. Is there a way to set the starting number other then reloading the page 25,000 times

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Not with the Apple counter. However, if you use a 3rd party counter like StatCounter you can set it to any number you want. You can also set it so it will not count your visits. To install see Old Toad's Tutorial #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet.

Is there any way to extend the roaming data expiration period?

The title says it all:)
Is there any way to extend the 30-days roaming data expiration period?

No, this is not controllable directly by apps or by users (and 30-days is not contractual).
If your app needs to store data in the cloud perpetually then you'll need to use your own server.
If the app is installed then roamed data will still be saved on the client systems until the user removes it.

Is there any danger in setting the system date/time to a prior date?

We are dealing with some software digital certificate expiration issues. Until the developer gets them fixed, the only way we can use the software is to set the date/time preferences to a date before the certificate expired. Some users are concerned that this will spell catastrophe for their systems because Unix/Linux based things don't like haivng their dates messed with. I maintain that the only things that would be affected are the date/time stamp on files they save while the settings are changed, possibly any iCal events created during the change (which can be overwritten by the user), and that if they use Time Machine the backups might not be dated correctly (and for that reason I've suggested they shut Time Machine off while their date is changed). I just don't believe it will lead to massive system failure. Who is correct?

Yes you will have issus with DHCP leases/Internet and your router if your time and date isn't current.
Offline you can do what you want. Better to get a temporary workaround from the developer to hold you over.

Is there any way to tell the last date my ipod was plugged into my computer?

OKay, this may be a techie question, but I'm pretty savvy so if this info is contained in a file somewhere, you can feel free to explain how to find it, I can look for it.
i Misplaced my iPod nano at some point in time, and knowing the last date I synced it to iTunes or even plugged it in would be HUGELY helpful in helping me to maybe locate it. IS there any way to see this information (the date specifically) anywhere on my computer dated in any file?
I Did look at devices and the iPod wasn't listed there, (only my more recent iPad and iPhone as backups) so I'm assuming maybe this wasnt an option in earlier versions of iTunes at least when I last had that sucker plugged in.
IIt's Moreso just killing me that I can't find it, and I KNOW it's one of a few places.
ANy help is great!
thanks!
