Finder and wrong Created dates/times

I've noticed this glitch in Tiger and Snow Leopard, and it has remained in Lion. When I have a Finder window open (whether in List or Column view), I notice that a number of files show the Created date and time as 12-31-69 5:00 PM. Even if I check the file info (Command-I), I get the same results. Yet when I import a photo file with such a date/time into say Aperture or Lightroom, for example, the original created date is proper, which tells me that my Mac isn't corrupting this information, it's just not rendering it properly in Finder.
Anyone else having this problem with Finder? More importantly, does anybody know if there is a fix for this?

Copying files from a backup should not alter the created/modified dates, I just tested that.
Why don't you try a TM restore on one of the files and see if it works.

Finding and showing file date/time i'm referencing on

How can I find and show on page the date and time parameters of file on which i'm referencing with using an JSP? I tried it with java.io.*,
<%@ page import="java.io.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.awt.*,javax.swing.text.*"%>
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=windows-1250"%>
<%
File u_file=new File("http://oracle1/pn/index.html");
long dat=u_file.lastModified();
Date u_date=new Date(dat);
%>
<%=u_file.getPath()%>
<%=u_file.getName()%>
<%=u_file.isFile()%>
<%=u_date%>
but the date was always 0(1.1.1970) ,result of isFile was null, but result of Pathname and Name was correct.
What is wrong?

From the JSP, if you say, File file = new File(path);
It will try to search for the file starting from the bin directory (I am using tomcat). So, you need to give the full path to the file from there.
For example, if your file is in, webapps/examples/html/ directory, you need to use something like this,
File file = new File("../webapps/examples/html/index.html");
You can't give URL as the file name/path. You can't access Oracle's file system!!!
Hope this helps.

SP.ListItem.File.Versions (FileVersionCollection) has wrong Created date/time?

I'm trying to use CSOM to get info about old versions of list items. But while I can retrieve the FileVersionCollection (File.Versions) fine, the only info it gives me for each version is the ID/Label/Created/CreatedBy/Url. It doesn't give me any other field
values.
I know I can get this info using lists.asmx/GetVersionCollection, but that API only returns the specified field value, Modified and ModifiedBy for each version.
That would be OK if the Modified timestamp matched the Created timestamp returned in the FileVersionCollection, but it doesn't, and in fact, the Created field of FileVersion seems to be simply incorrect in many cases. For instance, when I look at the
version history page for one item I see:
2.0
1/15/2015 4:35 PM Edit
Administrator < 1 KB
1.0
1/12/2015 4:30 PM Edit
Administrator < 1 KB
But File.Versions has:
3.0 1/15/2015 5:33:49 AM
2.0 1/12/2015 5:18:11 AM
1.0 1/12/2015 5:18:11 AM
Obviously the latter is in the UTC, but even converted to local time, the timestamps don't correspond at all. Nor do I understand why there are three entries (I assume 3.0 is the 'latest' version that the version history screen doesn't show, but it's reported
'Created' date is before the date of version 2).
GetVersionCollection in comparison returns:
<Version Departments=";#Sales;#Development;#" Modified="2015-01-15T05:35:48Z" Editor="1;#Administrator,#i:0#.w|sp2013dev\administrator,#,#,#Administrator" />
<Version Departments=";#Development;#Sales;#" Modified="2015-01-15T03:55:07Z" Editor="1;#Administrator,#i:0#.w|sp2013dev\administrator,#,#,#Administrator" />
<Version Departments=";#Development;#Sales;#" Modified="2015-01-12T05:30:06Z" Editor="1;#Administrator,#i:0#.w|sp2013dev\administrator,#,#,#Administrator" />
Where the 3rd entry would seem to be version 1.0 (512), and the first entry the latest version, but the middle entry has a completely different date that doesn't correspond to anything else!
And yes I'm absolutely sure these are all for the same item.
BTW if I specify "Created" as the field for GetVersionCollection, I just get the same Created date for all 3:
1/12/2015 5:15:48 AM - a completely new date that doesn't correspond to anything else at all!
For kicks I just tried it with the "Version" field, and now I get:
<Version Version="4.0" Modified="2015-01-15T05:35:48Z" Editor="1;#Administrator,#i:0#.w|sp2013dev\administrator,#,#,#Administrator" />
<Version Version="3.0" Modified="2015-01-15T05:33:49Z" Editor="1;#Administrator,#i:0#.w|sp2013dev\administrator,#,#,#Administrator" />
<Version Version="2.0" Modified="2015-01-15T03:55:07Z" Editor="1;#Administrator,#i:0#.w|sp2013dev\administrator,#,#,#Administrator" />
<Version Version="1.0" Modified="2015-01-12T05:30:06Z" Editor="1;#Administrator,#i:0#.w|sp2013dev\administrator,#,#,#Administrator" />
Well I suppose technically that now gives me enough info to locate the right version, but talk about convoluted...then I still have to figure out how to parse the field value (which in this case is a multi-choice field, but I need to support all field types).

Hi,
Please check the code as below, it working fine in my test environment.
public DataTable GetDoucmentHistory(string listName, int id)
using (ClientContext ctx = GetClientContext())
var file = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listName).GetItemById(id).File;
var versions = file.Versions;
ctx.Load(file);
ctx.Load(versions);
ctx.Load(versions, vs => vs.Include(v => v.CreatedBy));
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
var ds = CreatHistoryDataSet();
foreach (FileVersion fileVersion in versions)
var row = ds.Tables[0].NewRow();
row["CreatedBy"] = fileVersion.CreatedBy.Title;
row["Comments"] = fileVersion.CheckInComment;
fileVersion.Created.ToUniversalTime();
row["Created"] = fileVersion.Created.AddHours(-8).ToShortDateString() + " " +
fileVersion.Created.AddHours(-8).ToShortTimeString();
row["Title"] = file.Title;
row["VersionLabel"] = fileVersion.VersionLabel;
row["IsCurrentVersion"] = fileVersion.IsCurrentVersion;
ds.Tables[0].Rows.Add(row);
DataView view = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
view.Sort = "VersionLabel DESC";
DataTable sortedTable = view.ToTable();
return sortedTable;
private static System.Data.DataSet CreatHistoryDataSet()
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Columns.Add("Title");
table.Columns.Add("Created");
table.Columns.Add("CreatedBy");
table.Columns.Add("EncodedAbsUrl");
table.Columns.Add("VersionLabel");
table.Columns.Add("Comments");
table.Columns.Add("IsCurrentVersion");
ds.Tables.Add(table);
return ds;
To get all versions of version field you just need to call GetVersionCollection method on version field by passing it's internal name
_UIVersionString
Simple code snippet:
ListProxy.Lists lists = new Lists();
lists.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
XmlNode versions = lists.GetVersionCollection("{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx}",
"n", "_UIVersionString");
foreach(XmlNode version in versions.ChildNodes)
Console.WriteLine(version.Attributes["_UIVersionString"].Value);

How to change the "content created" date/time in FCPX?

Since I've had problems importing my whole iMovie event library into FCPX I decided to run some tests with importing individual files (part of iMovie events and originally imported from camera into iMovie). Some of them for some reason got the wrong "content created" date/time in them while in iMovie they have the right date/time set. Does anybody have an idea on how to change the "content created" timestamp?

I had a bunch of DV files that imported stamped with the file modification date and time. I did not find a way to change it in FCPX. With FCPX not running, I used A Better Finder Attributes to modify the creation and modification dates of the files in the event folder. FCPX reconnected to them but the event still showed the old range of dates so I created a new event and moved the clips to it. Maybe ther is a beter way but that is how I did it.

Reminder app on my IPad and IPhone loses date/time

I had entered 6 items in the reminder app a while ago. Noticed lately that I have gotten no reminders. Opened the app and found the date time for 5 items have completely disappeared. The one that remained has an alarm date in December 2014.
So I did some testing. I successfully created a new item, entered an alarm date time, touched the Done word on the top to save. Date time are now shown for this new item.
Now I added a second new item. Repeat the process successfully. Returned to the List screen. Date time for the second new item are shown, but the date time for the first new item have disappeared.
Unbelievable. So I repeat the by re-entering the date time for the first new item, and when I went back to the List screen, the date time for this item are there, but date time for the second new item are now gone.
Now I quit the app altogether (not just putting it to sleep), and when I open the app again, the only item with date time is the one due in Dec. 2014. The 2 new items have no dates and times!
Any one has any ideas why? I am using ios7.1
I was connected to the internet and iCloud when I set the alarm date and time

Try this. http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

Cannot find format type named Date/Time

Running latest Dreamweaver on Vista - I get a nasty pop-up
window if I try to edit one of the predefined date formats -
"Cannot find format type named Date/Time."
I've tried deleting configuration setting to no avail. Anyone
else experienced this problem or have any suggestions ?

Hello
It looks like that you had not installed the ADS(Adobe Document server) for the PDF type reports. Please check with your basis team if you want to configure ADS.
If you need the output as a sapscript then please do the sollowing steps:
(1) Execute transaction SM30
(2) Enter 'Table/View' as V_T5F99OCFT
(3) Select 'Maintain' option.
(4) Select 'New Entries' option from the Application Too
(5) Enter following entries:
     Logical Form Name    = HR_IN_EPF12A_99M
     Form Variant         = (Leave this field blank)
     End Date             = 31.12.9999
     Start Date           = 01.01.1990
     Form Type            = SAP Script (SSC)

(6) Save the entries
The above example I have given you is only for the form 12A.
You have to make entries for all the reports sapscript in this table.

Where are you looking for the Titles? You're not confusing titles - which are an entry in the Exif metadata of the file - with Filename?

Creating a column link and using a date/time field as one of the Items

I have created an Interactive Report and set up a column link to another page. One of the Items in the column link is a Date field. When I click on the link I receive 'ORA-01403: no data found' for the linked page. In the Session attributes only DD-MON-YYYY HH24 passed and MI (minutes) was truncated... causing the error. I have created the same link on a Non-Interactive Report, DD-MON-YYYY HH24MI gets passed and the link works. Anyone have any clues on why the full date/time format is not being passed?
The Item on the linked page has been set to Date Picker (DD-MON-YYYY HH24MI)
Application Date Format is DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI

Hi,
As David says colon is separator in URL for parameters.
This is same kind of post about problem about comma. Values are separated by comma in URL. It might help you

Workflows: How to set a workflow variable that is the difference in hours between now and a created date

I'm trying to create a variable that contains the number of hours between the item created date and Now. When i use TODAY, it seems to set the time at 12:00 rather than the time now - so that throws the hours off. Any ideas?
ajw

Hi ajw,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to calculate the hours between the item created date and now.
It seems to be not an OOB way to implement your requirement, to get the current time, you need to create a custom workflow activity for SharePoint 2010 workflow. About creating custom workflow activity, you can refer to the links below:

http://blogs-sharepoint-ashutoshmisra.blogspot.in/2013/02/create-custom-workflow-action-for.html
Or, you can use a third party solution to achieve your requriement.
