Drop Box Question: Can you preserve the Creation/Mod Date when dropping?

I transfer files across a 3-computer network and would like to preserve the dates, rather than having them reset to the current date and time when dropped. Is there a way to preserve this info?

  • Can you limit the amount of data accessed per user on an AirPort Extreme?

    Can you limit the amount of data accessed per user on an AirPort Extreme?

    Your question was whether the AirPort Extreme is able to establish data limits per user.
    If you add another router that has this type of capability or install software on another router, then you will be able to establish data limits for each user. The AirPort Extreme will have no control over this.

  • TS4036 Can you change the iCloud backup date to a previous backup date?

    Can you change the iCloud backup date? My iPhones processor went out and erased all of my information and saved that as my last iCloud backup, is there a way to restore my phone for the day before this happened to get all of my information back?

    Long story short, I had to make a clean install of OS X (mountain lion) when I was outside my country, and if I can't show the guy at the customs back home that I purchased the macpro before making the trip, I'll have to pay taxes for it.
    I could have filled the papers for that but I almost miss the plane and there was a long queue.

    Can you plug an ipad into the computer USB port to charge it?

    You can plug it into a computer but it will be a very very slow charge. The best thing to do is go to any office / electronics store and get a new charger.

  • On the iPhone 5/5s, can you hear the other person properly when they are lying down?

    When I use the iPhone 5s while lying down in bed, the other person is unable to hear me.  When someone who is using the iPhone 5s is lying down in bed, I cannot hear them. 
    Is this a known issue?  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Does anyone know what causes this issue?  I actually used to have this same issue with the HTC One, and I was under the impression that it had to do with the accelerometer of smartphones.  I do not know of any other difference between smart phones and normal phones.
    It's rather annoying, such a basic feature of a PHONE product to be able to talk and hear clearly.  Major fail, Apple.  For this alone, I may consider switching to another phone.
    I have found other comments from iPhone 5 users who have the same issue:  http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/29/iphone-5-review/
    MICROPHONE
    I don’t know if it’s because I have big hands or what, but there many times when people on the other end of the phone can’t understand a thing I’m saying. Specifically, any time I lay down flat on my back, the iPhone 5′s microphones seem to go especially bad. A few times, it’s gotten so bad that the people on the other end of the line hung up because they couldn’t deal with it.

    Please Apple.  Fix this significant bug/defect in your product in your next software update.  I know this is a software issue probably related to the Accelerometer detecting that the phone is not upright and then turning off the receiver.  Not sure why you would even want to do that.
    It is ridiculous that the iPhone cannot perform the most BASIC function of voice calls.  After all, that is what you buy the phone for... the texting, internet, applications are all bonus.  Phones are used while lying down, upside down, lying on the side, etc.  You are basically hurting yourself and your customer base with this significant design flaw.  Think about all the couples talking to their significant others when they're lying in bed first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they are long distance.  Think about hospital patients who want to speak with their families.  Think about the homeless on the streets with their iPhones lying down calling people to give them money (or not...).  
    Anyway, you get my point.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix it.  I only recently changed from being an Android user to an iPhone user... this is seriously my biggest gripe with your product.

  • How can you find the Last Modified Date of a particular table

    Hi,
    I want to show to the LAST MODIFIED date of a particular table to the user before refreshing the table with new data. Experts please suggest me the way using JDBC-SQL connection.

    There is no generic SQL way for this. It depends completely on the features your DBMS offers. With Oracle you'd need to create column which gets updated in a trigger. I believe MS SQL Server offers a special data type for this, which is updated automatically. I don't know about others.

  • Why do the fonts I use in emails, regardless of email application, all change to Tmes New Roman after I have sent them? How can I preserve the font I used when I wrote the emails? Thanks

    My font preference in Content is set to Arial font.

    Try resetting NVRAM.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
    Release the keys.

  • Is it possible to preserve creation/mod dates when transfering Mac-PC-Mac?

    Hi there
    I tried researching the following problem on-line but couldn't find anything helpful so was hoping someone else might know something helpful.
    Historically I have always used PCs so until last year I didn't own a Mac, although I use them at work. This means I have a huge amount of files and data stored on external hard drives. I now run Snow Leopard but also run Windows 7 in inside VirtualBox because not all software I own is available for the Mac.
    The problem I have is that Snow Leopard and Windows handle file creation and modification dates differently. So if I save a file on my Mac HFS+ disk in Snow Lepoard, Windows cannot read the dates correctly.
    I have MacFuse running in Snow Lepoard in order to access my NTFS+ disks but saving files on there still doesn't resolve the issue. Recently I created network drive shares to my NTFS disks in Windows 7 so I could access them. However when I copy files from my Digital Camera on to them, it changes the creation date whilst keeping the modification date unchanged. I use the creation dates to title my MPEG4 AVI videos so I cannot afford the dates to change. If those contained metadata, similar to EXIF data, it wouldn't be such a problem but they don't.
    Does anyone know a way of safely transferring files or a program which converts files between Mac and PC. I know of MacDisk but would allow resolve the date issue or simply place files on a HFS+ disk with the windows creation date format. Thus rendering the dates wrong when used in the Mac. I just need a conversion tool between the two. I can't use FAT32 because I also work with digital video from time to time.
    Kind regards

    So to understand your issue.
    You have lots of old drives running with the NTFS file system.
    Now that you have a MAC you want to keep using these drives in the same way.
    The issue is that the MAC is writing the day you copied the content onto the hard drive in NTFS external drives as the creation date?
    Is this correct?
    If so, I believe that you are trying to do a Windows thing in a MAC world....
    I am using Parallels and VM ware. I cannot see any problem with VMware and the file creation dates in either MAC or XP. I have created new files in each, crossed over to the other operating system and modified the files. Both files are correctly displaying the content the way they need to be with the correct modified and created dates. The VMware and MAC OS use the mac file system as a base.
    I would try to save the digital photos to the external drives while in windows. If you need to use the MAC when doing this I personally would copy off all the old PC files onto my mac and then reformat the external drive as a MAC file system drive. Then copy the files back to the external drive from the MAC. If you are using VMware this drive can be useable by windows as a "shared folder".
    If you acknowledge the external USB drive as a USB device in WMware it will of course be in MAC file system format so the new formatted drive will only be viewable in the Computer Management application (WinXP ) And it will not show up as a drive.
    To get around this I created a new shared folder in the VMware (Settings -> System Settings -> Sharing) and just simply chose the entire portable drive as a shared folder. Works like a charm. Now WinXP can use the VMware Tools app and properly translate the file content over the the MAC drive. I just created a few files and don't see any issue with the file creation dates.
    MAC doesn't use NTFS for its file system and since NTFS is a windows technology, probably cannot? If anything the software that is allowing you to write to the NTFS drive is probably emulating something and that piece of software is at fault. I have an old NTFS drive and don't remember being able to write to it natively from the MAC OS.... In fact my new 1TB drive was purchased to allow me to transfer all my old data off the legacy drive so that I can update it to the new MAC world
    Though even more then this... I personally never rely on something so fallible as a computer maintained "created on" or "modified on" concept as these are subjective. As of the new millennium file names have been basically unbound. I would instead append the date and time to my file name as follows.
    201007310300 Some Name of a File.jpg
    this way no matter what is done with the file you still have the all important creation date.
    An apple script should be able to be created to look at the creation dates on the files as they are stored on the mac and append the date to the file name. (basic shell scripting)
    And if this doesn't work for you, perhaps the Linux file system is a better option? I believe that MAC will play nicer with Linux. And I know that there are software drivers to read a linux drive on a PC. Again, though, creation dates can easily change and are no guarantee as to when a file was really created.
    So to conclude. All of my external drives are in MAC FS. If I need to copy files to a PC I can use my new 64GB flash drive. (I mean that is a HDD all in to itself!) If you are stuck in NTFS land, save the files via your Windows emulation.

  • Can you disable the "auto open" feature when printing with Adobe Reader x verxion 10.1.6?

    Every time I print a file to PDF, it automatically opens.  Can this be turned off?  I was able to stop this in a previous version of Adobe, but it's been so long, I don't remember how I did it.  I've looked at the settings on my PDF printer as well, but I can't find anything.
    Thanks.

    Hi Sherry,
    You can check the printer preferences for Adobe PDF printer and deselect 'view Adobe PDF result'.
    On windows machine, please go to control panel and then open printer and devices. right click on the Adobe PDF printer and select printer properties/Preferences.
    You must be using Adobe Acrobat to print a document to PDF.
    you cannot print a document to PDF using Adobe Reader.
    Thanks

  • Can you change the iCloud I'd when have already put in an email address which is incorrect

    I tried to through settings but I couldn't and it is really bugging me

    To change the iCloud ID, delete the account and sign back in with the ID you want to use.  If you're using iOS 7, you'll have to provide the password for the ID in order to delete it.

    Thanks for the welcome Karsten! I’ve checked the installer disks – which appear to have all the main pieces of software, but not iDVD. If you or anyone knows where it might be hidden that would be great. Thanks for all the other info too!
    Thanks Lennart – I don’t think my computer could support iLife ’05 as it is running Mac OSX 10.3.2 and I’ve just been looking at its system requirements which state it requires 10.3.4 minimum – if you know differently, please let me know. As an alternative I have considered getting iLife ’04, but your comment about iLife ’05 being the first version to support external drives worried me (“iDVD 5 is the first iDVD version that officially supports external burners“ does this mean there is an unofficial option for iLife ‘04? Perhaps a patch similar to the one mentioned by Karsten), does that mean iLife ’04 would not support an external Lacie DVD writer?
    What is the earliest version of Toast I’d be able to use (as a money saving option!)?
    Thank you both, and apoligies for my amateurish questions…

  • Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it first?

    Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it up fully before you can use it. I do not want to damage the laptop by misusing the battery.

    Attach the charger and start charging the battery to 100%.  The good news is that after you have connected the charger, you may start using the MBP as well.
