Date modified is suddenly incorrect, mountain lion.

If I delete .ds_store it will revise and update. Any ideas? Other folders are incorrect as well, it appears that .ds_store was updated (finder indexing or something?) and changed date modified of the entire foldrer even though I didn't open those folders. This may help, the folders are coming from a drive that had snow leopard installed, could that be the problem?

so, just got off the phone with support, apparently in mountain lion the date modified does not carry down recursively through sub folders which is super annoying. hopefull they'll consider fixing at some point

    Incorrect link to "OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier". Should be http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6025

    I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).
    It does indeed do that, & HT4889 seems to be MIA.

  • Looking to move data from OSX 9 to Mountain Lion using external hard drive?

    Looking to move data from OSX 9 to Mountain Lion using external hard drive?

    Thanks.  I'd like to get rid of this OSX 9 after retrieving a few files.  If I wanted to erase it's hard drive before I do so, would powering off then on again and immediately start tapping the F10 button do the trick as it does with a PC?

  • Addressbook.data import from Tiger to Mountain Lion

    Hello.
    I have a backup of an addressbook.data file and other Contact related files that I am trying to import back into Contacts. The original files are from OS Tiger and I am wanting to import them into Contacts on OS Mountain Lion.
    I do not have a working copy of Tiger on my iMac any more so cannot export them in the correct way.
    I need to try and find a way of converting/importing the addressbook.data or other file to get at the information I need.
    Any help anyone can give is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Basically you need to find a DVD reader that will work, since the only legitimate way to install Snow Leopard is with its DVD.
    That can be another Mac, with which you could use FireWire Disk Mode to install Snow Leopard on your MacBook.
    You do not need to upgrade to Lion first. You may upgrade from Snow Leopard directly to Mountain Lion.

  • Will i loose all my time capsule data if i upgrade to mountain lion from snow leopard

    i am thinking about upgrading from SL to Mountain Lion
    is there anything major i should be concerned with?
    will my time machine backups be availible?
    i mainly use Logic Pro

    Ok, then it looks like you need to start "from scratch:"  Power it off for a couple of minutes, then back on, and follow the manual.
    Be sure it powers-up and the yellow light comes on.
    If you don't have the manual that came with the TC, it should be one of these:
    Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Generation) - Setup Guide
    Time Capsule 802.11n (2nd Generation) - Setup Guide
    Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd Generation) - Setup Guide
    Time Capsule 802.11n (4th Generation) - Setup Guide
    I'm not an expert on that, plus it's late here, and I need to go to bed soon.  If you still have trouble with this, your best bet will be to start a new thread in the Time Capsule forum at: https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/time_capsule.  That's where the networking gurus hang out.

  • Date formatting in menubar in Mountain Lion

    I cannot format the date.
    Tried setting in using the Date&Time>OpenLanguage & Text>Dates>Customize
    Whatever setting or customizations I make, it does not alter the format of the date in the menubar.
    Currently it is
    Thu 1 Nov
    I would prefer
    Thu Nov 1

    You should be able to drag & drop the days and dates to that format (probably in Full) to any order you want?
    If that doesn't work it could be SystemUIServer which is a background process that specifically controls the right hand side of the menu bar where those menu extras are.
    Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". Then go to the Preferences folder and find and delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist. Then go to the By Host folder also inside your Preferences folder and delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist (also any with numbers). Then log out and back in, or restart.

  • Imac 27" 10.6.8 Internal HDD to boot on OSX Mountain Lion

    I have a internal HDD which was on my IMac 27" with OS 10.6.8. The logic board has apparent passed on and I needed the data on the internal drive.
    Is it possible to boot that drive / or see the data on a Macbook Pro - Mountain Lion?

    Yes you will have to remove the drive and get an enclosure or dock for it so you can connect it to the other system.
    You won't boot off of it but boot off your regular drive and mount this as an eternal drive. The will be readable (assuming it has not been damaged when the system died).

  • Error downloading Mountain Lion, impossible to restart [SOLVED]

    I just wanted to drop an issue that I had.
    I have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, that was covered by the free upgrade to Mountain Lion program. I received a correct coupon code, but while downloading, there was an internet problem. After, it was impossible to restart the download or erase any data.
    The OS X Mountain Lion item in the App Store inside Purchased, was locked, with a black button and a red alert.
    To fix the problem all I had to do is:
    Log off from the app store
    Delete every file in ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.appstore.savedState/
    Run App Store.app, and inside App Store
    Log in again
    Purchase again Mountain Lion, it will say that it's free (it has been previously purchased).
    After that it will run again.
    Hoping to be useful

    Try brining your MAC up in safe mode, download Mountain Lion, then restart your computer and install.  Should work fine.

  • Best practice to use Time capsule for back-up of 3 different products (MBP 15 OSX lion, MBP 13 OSX lion and MBA 13 OSX mountain lion)?. Only the MBP15 is back-up regularly.

    When I want to save data of the MBA13 on mountain lion (wireless) with time capsule, hois there any best practice to perform?
    After that, assuming that data are back-up, can we easily differentiate data in time capsule belonging to MBP15/13 and MBA13?

    Unfortunately, Apple left off the Ethernet port....the most important port in networking....on the MBA, so your first backup of the entire Mac will need to be done using wireless.
    That may take a day or two unless your MBA has a Thunderbolt port on it in which case you could add a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter and connect the MBA to the Time Capsule for the first backup using an Ethernet cable.  It will probably only take 3-4 hours or less doing it this way.
    Once you have the first complete backup done, other subsequent backups can be done using wireless since they will ony take a few minutes, on average.
    Both Macs will backup to the Time Capsule using Time Machine automatically. Backups will be kept completely separate, so one Mac will normally only be able to "see" its own backups.

  • How do I view the contents of my iPad in Mountain Lion?

    How do I view the contents of my iPad in Mountain Lion?

    DiskAid needn't cost anything depending on what you want to do - I've been using it for months without being hindered by using the free version.  You do need the up to date version for use on Mountain Lion though...

  • Migrate from Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard without transferring the OS?

    I am leaving my job and need to transfer all of my files from my work computer back to my personal computer.  My work computer is Mountain Lion and my personal computer is Snow Leopard. I need to know how to use Time Machine/Migration Assistant to move all of my files.  (I was going to just update my personal MBP to Mountain Lion but the hardware is not supported for that OS.)
    How can I get all of my files off of a computer with Mountain Lion, to put onto a computer with Snow Leopard?
    MOVING FROM:
    15" MBP 6,2 (Mid 2010)
    Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2
    500GB SATA HD
    8GB memory (max)
    2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    MOVING TO:
    17" MBP 2,1 (Late 2006)
    Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8
    500GB SATA HD
    3 GB memory (max)
    2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    ...What are my options???

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't use Migration Assistant to transfer the data from a computer with Mountain Lion to a Mac with Snow Leopard.
    In this case, the only thing you can do is to transfer the data manually with an external disk. Just get an external disk, put the data you need onto the external disk and finally, transfer the files to your home computer.
    Unfortunately, this is the only way to do it. If you want, you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone on an external disk if you don't want to copy your data manually to the external disk

  • Enrolled for OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date programme; password incorrect in received PDF-file.

    Dear Apple Support,
    Recently I enrolled for the OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date programme. I was issued two emails afterwards: 1 containing a PDF-file with my redemption code for ML download through the AppStore, the other email containing a password to open the PDF-file. I've tried it several times, but the PDF-file keeps telling me the provided password is incorrect.
    Could you please send me a new PDF-file with a password that works?
    Regards, Mariana, The Netherlands

    Thanks for the tip Bandit.
    I wonder if there are other users with the same problem though.
    Regards, Mariana

  • Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty.  I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion. Help??

    Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty.  I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion.
    I was working on a project, when all of a sudden the event library went blank.  There are no devices showing in the left column, only "last import" and "aperture videos".  There are no video clips in the editing window.  I have "Show: All Clips" selected.  I've tried "group events by disk". 
    When I have a Project open, it plays just fine.  There are no yellow triangles saying "source clip is missing".  Yet, again...nothing is in the event library large editing window.  So, it seems the data is still there, but invisible.  This is true with all the projects, and all the external devices I've experimented by plugging in to see if their video clips show up in the event library. 
    I have tried to import new movies, and iMovie responds as normal...looking like it's importing, then "generating thumbnails", then it makes the "ding" signalling that the import is complete...but nothing shows in the event library.  I've tried importing movies from the harddrive, from quicktime, and from an external drive.
    I have searched the forums, and found many users with a similar, but not the same, problem.  For them, it seems the "go to users-library-preferences and delete iMovie plist" has solved their problem.  This didn't work for me. 
    I uninstalled/reinstalled iMovie, I even have re-installed Mountain Lion (from a last-ditch effort suggestion from Apple technician). 
    HERE'S AN INTERESTING DETAIL:  After almost 5 hours on the phone with Apple, I decided to cut my losses and take my project to another Mac I have.  I'm working on a project, for work, that is critical that it's completed by tonight (whoops), and all my video is on an external drive.  So, I plug in the external drive to Mac #2, open iMovie, and everything is looking fine.  I continue importing some files I was converting, through Wondershare, and suddenly (whether or not this has to do with the importing, I'm not sure), the SAME THING happened to Mac #2!!!!  I can't believe this. 
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Have you ever heard of this happening?  Could it have to do with the files I'm importing??? 
    I apologize if my language is confusing.  Obviously, I'm not an Apple genius-person!  I hope I've provided all the information you need.
    Mac #1 is a 27" desktop, mid-2012, software up-to-date.  Mac #2 is a 24" desktop, about 4 years old, OSX 10.7.5

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.
