Date and time lost

seems that everytime I reboot this G4 macbook I need to reset the time and date.
Is there somewhere to make the time and date stick?

Try resetting PRAM…

Date and Time lost when upgraded to PSA/SE 3.0

I have upgraded from Photoshop Album Starter Edition 2.0 to 3.0 - my tags seem to be intact, but the dates on all of the photos reverted back to January 1, 2003 regardless when I took them. There was no warning about this happening, no recommendation to back up the files in a way to save the date info. I had spent hours posting corrected dates into many of my photos when accessed by PSA/SE 2.0 only to have all that work dissappear once the upgrade was installed. I liked being able to search for photos based on approximate date taken. I realize there is not likely any quick way to restore the dates, but if there is I'd sure like to know.

When updating I just followed the prompts. I did not choose to cusom install anything. I let the software do all the work.
A large number of my photos are not in the "Adobe" file and must be reconnected as well. I was hoping that once reconnected the date would return, but, sadly, I was mistaken. As I had mentioned when I first installed 2.0 I had to change the dates and times of all my pre - existing photos. They had also defaulted to January 1, 2003. Now I'm back to square one with them all.

Changed date and time and lost reference to proxy files

I had a batch of transcoded proxy files (from a Canon 550d) that had the wrong time on them. I used "Modify > Adjust content created date and time" to shift them by an hour. FCP now reports "Missing Proxy" for all of them. I've checked in the events folder and all the proxy files are still there, it just seems FCP has lost its reference to them.
I can re-transcode them but of course that takes a long time. Two questions: anyone any idea why this happened and is there a way to re-link FCP with the existing files?
Curiously I adjusted the time on some files that had been transcoded from a AVCHD source and these are still OK!
(Using V 10.0.5 on a 2011 MBA with LaCie Thunderbolt disc)

In the end I re-transcoded the files but I think this article may have been the answer:

Lost clips after adjusting date and time??

I just updated to iMovie 10.0.3 and adjusted a buch of events in iMovie. All of them were incorrectly placed in wrong years when viewing in "by date" format. After adjusting the date and time with the event highlighted, I come to see either all or some (a clip of two) of the event is lost. The good old "missing file" is what I get in the playback window.
I want to go on an anti-iMovie rant as this version has caused me NOTHING but headaches sence I installed it last year but it's MY fault for not having a spare iMovie 9.0 laying around so I cannot revert.
Is there any solution here besides wiping my iMovie library clean and restoring from TM?
Thanks.
EDIT, I just looked in each event in the file system and the original media is not even there anymore but the library size hasnt changed. Wow. I don't get this at all.

There seems to be a serious bug here that has been introduced with iMovie 10.0.3, and reported by several posters. I would recommend you report it using Apple feedback at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
There is probably a particular infrequent set of conditions that have to exist for a clip to be deleted after using the adjust time and date function, but I've seen no posts yet that have clarified this. Any further details you have would be worth reporting - for example did you change the date/time to earlier or later? If only some date/time changed clips have disappeared, do they have anything in common, not shared by the clips which havn't disappeared?
You could restore your library from Time machine or, if there are not many lost clips it may be simpler and quicker s to re-import (or drag and drop) the clips from a backup and correct affected projects. (Maybe you can change their date and time before importing them).
As for the library size were the clips big enough to make a visible difference to the library total?
Have you searched for the missing clips by name?

Why are date and time strings lost when indexing an array in a for loop

Hi,
I have an application where i'm reformatting data from a spreadsheet for graphical display on a LabVIEW dashboard.
the original spreadsheet has date and time values in separate columns, and i'm merging them and converting to a timestamp value. But something's not working. Does anyone know why the string value is lost when the array indexes into this for loop?
Attachments:
failed array index.png ‏142 KB

Can you attach your VI with some typical values? (e.g. create in indicator on the 2D array, run your VI, then turn the indicator (now containing data) into a diagram constant). Place the FOR loop related code and that diagram constant into a new VI and attach it here.
How many times does the FOR loop run? Could it be that the last element of each 1D array is an empty string? (unless you put a wait inside the FOR loop, you'll never see the other elements in the probe)

Hello there, Terriiris.
I had a similar issue and what worked for me was power cycling my wireless network and the Apple TV. However, if the issue persists, here are a couple articles that will walk you through troubleshooting this issue.

If the steps in the article above do not resolve the issue, then a restore may be needed.

Apple TV froze. Unplugged and re plugged, and now it is continuously checking for date and time. If I bypass it by holding menu, I only have a settings icon, I lost everything else, what do I do?

My Apple TV froze while trying to access Netflix. I unplugged the Apple TV from the wall and re plugged it. Now it stays on the loading time and date setting. After 10 minutes, I held menu, and hit restart (as the troubleshoot said). Same problem is still occurring with the continuous "checking for date and time". And if I hold menu to bypass this, I only have my settings and computer icon, all other icons have disappeared. Not quite sure what to do, any comments would surely help.
Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Apple TV 1st generation or 2nd?
I would try plugging in the HDMI from the ATV to a different HDMI port on your TV and even trying the ATV on a different TV altogether...sounds like the HDMI port on your TV might be bad or a bad connection. Keep in mind you'll need to switch the TV input to the new HDMI port

Mag Safe power cord sparks when connected or disconnected--whereupon the MacBook Pro 13'' dumps date and time, and all passwords, plus any/all unsaved information.

I purchased my MacBook Pro 13" from the Apple Store in Tucson, AZ, in mid-January. Since then, every time the Mag-Safe cord is jostled, not even disconnected, sparks fly from the power terminal on the computer, the computer shuts down, and dumps its passwords, as well as the date and time.
Any work in progress is also lost.
I work overseas, and Apple's advice was to give them my credit card number, await shipment of a new power supply and cord, and then, when I return the old power supply and cord, i'd receive a credit. That won't work, as packages from the US to my location take weeks if they arrive at all. There is no Apple Store within a reasonable distance. Or, Apple suggests, when I'm home on leave in mid-June, I should bring the computer to the Apple Store for repair--I have only days in which to do that, but I suppose I'll need to try. My concern is that I'll need to return overseas without my computer and won't be able to retrieve it for months, until my next leave.
This issue shows up elsewhere online. Is there a short in the power terminal in the computer, or on the Mag-Safe power cord, or within the computer itself? It's a known issue, thus I wonder why it hasn't been fixed.

Odd, but here's a copy of Page 1 of the links I got:

Can I pick a certain date and time to restore my iphone?

In trying to update my iphone software with this latest update, our internet connectivity was screwy. When it went to sync, my iphone went black and everything on the computer screen quit. I couldn't do a thing with my iphone, it wouldn't even turn on/off so I restored. When it restored, it did not sync with the 10:30 pm time that I synced before I started the update. Instead, it synced with the 12:55 am time when the internet gave out. Which means, that I have nothing on my phone... all is lost. So I tried another restore which tried to sync it with 1:something am. OR I had the option of choosing June 2011. Is there anyway possible that I can choose a certain date and time to restore so not all is lost?

No, you can only restore form backup using the list of dates/times it gives you.

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?

"Adjust Date and Time..." will convert your TIFFs to JPGs!!!

I wanted to let everyone know of a serious bug that I've been discussing in the following thread: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1315705&tstart=0].
Here's the bug. If you use the "Adjust Date and Time..." function on a TIFF file, and have iPhoto modify the original file, iPhoto will make the time adjustment, but it will *save a JPEG over your original TIFF, with the original .TIF name!!!*
Big nasty bug. After you do this function, you have lost all that lossless TIFF data since your pictures was overwritten by a lossy JPG!
nathan

nathan:
What type of edit were you making. Have been trying to duplicate that and cannot. I've changed the date and selected the original file to be changed also. Then I edited the file by cropping, changing the exposure and shadows and saving. Both versions are still tiff files.
Now these are tiff files that I converted over from jpgs with Photoshop as my camera doesn't take tiffs. Don't know if that will make any difference.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Script to find locks in Database with Date and time.

Hi all,
I used to have a script which i have lost now due to a recent laptop crash. This script used to find locks in the database.. along with the date and time since when it is locking the session.
It was quite a comprehisive one. I think i found it on this forum only, but not able to find it now. Can someone please help me find one such comprehensive script.
Currently I am using this script.. which is also good.. but does not have the date and time stamp on it. Is there something better.?

What Brian said is true so are your sure your query was not just reporting the start time of the current transaction from v$transaction.start_time, or the start time of the session: v$session.logon_time, or perhaps the time since the last database call (v$session.last_call_et) which for an active session would be the time the current SQL statement has been running?

Date and time stamp transfer via Firewire

Hi
Having issues with a Sony micromv camcorder transferring digital recordings via fire wire to Apple macbook- the files are transferrred without the date and time stamp on it. Any way around the problem. Thanks

ebigglesworth,
I too am curious about Frank's mention of the date and time removal tool.
As an aside to your comment:
I'd rather just be able to tell aperture I don't want the time stamp on the image, to remove it some how digitally, if that makes sense. You'd think it could just be backed out in some fashion.
That's impossible. Your camera made it impossible. Your camera threw out some pixel data of the real picture in favor of replacing it with yellow, white, and black pixels (or whatever color your timestamp is). Basically, the original photo information is completely lost. All you can do is smudge things (in one way or another) and make the best of it. It will never look completely right unless you use a pixel editor (which Aperture is not) and painstakingly put color in, pixel-by-pixel.

Date and Time Stamp Removal?

Does anyone know how to digitally remove the date and time stamp on the face of the photo once the photos are loaded in Aperture, short of doing re-touch? Working in Aperture 3.

Date and time stamp for movie. How?

I need the date of a movie--or clips from movies---made with a Flip camera. How do I get that date to appear on the footage?

Hi
I never seen any way to do this in iMovie - any version (may be me to illitterated)
But - I've used a way around - by going via Analog out from Camera (my can show date and time on TV) - then to an A/D-box (I use a Canopus ADVC-300 - now named Grass-Valley ADVC-300) and from this via FireWire to iMovie or FinalCut.
Picture quality is lost this way (can be handled somewhat better in FCE/P) but it works.
Yours Bengt W
