Can't change master file date/time

I am unable to change the date/time of any master photos using Aperture 3.3 under OS 10.7.1 (Lion), although I can change the date/time of versions. This is the case on both my Mac Mini and MacBook Pro. I have the same version of Aperture on another Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 and do not have this problem. It makes no difference if the photo is referenced or not, or whether it resides on an internal or external HD. I have also tried running the Aperture file permission fix and library rebuild "Option-Command" startup options. When I select "Metadata > Adjust Date and Time..." from the menu and then check the "Also change master file" box the following message appears in a pop-up window:
Unable to adjust master file
Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of
the master file “P0000001.jpg” because it has a
format that does not permit date modification.
This appears to be an issue with Lion. Has anyone else had this problem? Better yet, is there a fix?

Hi Don
This seems to be a problem with Lion and there is no workaround: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15769485#15769485
We have to wait for Apple for a fix...

There isn't a feature in Adobe Send for setting and end-date for a file's availability. At any time, you can Unshare the file, however.

Can I Change Photo/File Date In Photoshop Elements 2?

Whenever I change the batteries in my digital camera I have to reset the time and date.
Often I don't have time (or just forget) with the result that all the pictures have incorrect times and dates on them.
This is NOT destroying my life but it is irritating and inconvenient.
Is there a way of altering the "Date Created" without altering the photo by copying it etc. (which alters its file size)?
For that matter is it possible to alter the "Date Created" on any computer file?
I'm sure a hacker could delve deep into the heart of the Mac and do it but I am looking for something quick and simple.
Ian.

You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.

FINDER: File Date & Time Slow to Update

In finder windows my date and time is slow to "update" when I've changed a file. Viewing by "Date Modified" is worthless sometimes. I change & save a file, view in finder and the date & time has not updated. Update times vary from immediate to minutes...
Surely this isn't typical? The systme can't handle getting file date&time updated?

Hi, Greg.
I've seen this happen from time to time myself. In my case it has been very rare and I've been unable to pin down a cause. It appears to be a bit of a glitch in Finder. It's usually seen with server-mounted volumes even though it was supposedly fixed in Tiger after being a regular issue with shared volumes in Panther.
Some ideas:
• Temporarily switching the View from say List to Icon and Back often corrects this.
• You might want to take a look at Nudge.
• If it's happening at high frequency, purging your Finder preferences may help. See my "Finder Issues? How to delete its preferences" FAQ.
• You may want to try Path Finder, an alternative Finder. You can use Finder and Path Finder simultaneously.
Good luck!

Edit metadata without changing modified file date

I'd like to use Bridge (CS4) to edit metadata in both JPEGs and RAW files, without changing the original file date/time stamp.
Any way I can do this? Thanks.

Thanks. I'm familiar with the file date utilities available (I've even written such a program myself), but it seems like an awkward solution.
Since first posting this question, I discovered that I can keep my raw files untouched, by selecting Camera Raw Preferences > Save image settings > Sidecar .xmp files.
I'd like to see a similar setting for JPEG images as well. Please?

HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean! When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message: "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

Thanks so much Terence. I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:

That worked like a charm. I really appreciate it.

Can Spotlight search for file creation time ?

Hi,
Is it possible to use Spotlight to find files with a specific creation date and creation time ?
Example:
creation date: exactly 03/03/2008
creation time: after 10:00 and before 12:00

Hi Kees, not that I'm aware of, and since you can't run Classic and "Find File", I'd get EasyFind, Spotlight won't be reliable...

Near the bottom of the page.
you can at least sort by date/time then to narrow it.

By editing the EXIF data. You'd need an EXIF editor for this...if using Windows, you can use Windows Exploroer. To do so on your phone, you need an app, like this:

Can we change the system date using Sql

can we change the system date using Sql statement..
can anyone help
Tariq.

There is an initialization parameter called FIXED_DATE which lets you set a fixed sysdate for testing purposes, and you can alter that date using the ALTER SYSTEM command, but as implied by the name you are setting a data/time that doesn't change. Since the normal sysdate is derived from the O/S it cannot be altered through SQL

Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?
Mostly it's to call in for radio contests. The Iphone is really good at making a quick call, but it seems to timeout after 15-20 rings. I realise this is a small thing, but free tickets is free tickets.
Most commenst I see is abotu incoling calls, not outging.
Thanks.

No. You can't do this with any phone.

How can I see my files on Time Capsul

How can I see my files on Time Capsul

Do you mean Time Machine files or ordinary files.. ??
Did you copy files to the TC? It should just open in the finder as long as the TC is available and the airport utility shows it connected.
If you want to see the contents of the TM files.. open the sparsebundle and use main Time Machine icon in the dock.

i have created PO with wrong dates but now want to correct it, but its not letting me do it ...why ?

I don't think DOC DATES can be changed. You can only change the posting dates of the Goods receipt and Invoice documents as that is what matter for your financial consolidation.
