Finder window date added date modified show date time always

Is there a preference setting to have a finder window with Date Added and Date Modified columns enabled to always show the date and time? Currently, the column information is dynamic, like just providing a time where you infer Today, or one column does show the date and time but the other only shows the date, or it reads Today, 12:31pm.
I want every window when displaying Date Added or Date Modified columns to always, consistently show the date and time, e.g. 3/15/14, 7:31AM.
Aloha and Mahalo!

I found half of the answer: View:Show View Options - Deselect Use Relative Dates.
Now I just need a solution to always show the time and not only the date.
Curiously, when you initially enable a column in a Finder window, it shows both the date and time; however when you return to the window after closing it, you lose the time of day on Date Added, but not on Date Modified. -- Bug or Feature?

Finder Window - Date Modified Column Keeps Changing

When I open a Finder window, change the size of the "Date Modified" column then close the Finder window, the next time I open the same Finder window, the "Date Modified" column will compress the size of the column.
Why isn't Finder 10.9 maintaining my column changes?
Any assitance or insight whould be appreciated.

I solved the scrunched Date Modified column header in a similar fashion but added the Date Added field, which fixed the width of both Date columns.
After doing so, I now find both Date-oriented columns display and read dynamically the actual date and time.
I'm now looking for a solution to that issue, explained here:

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!

Finder window in internet doesn't show external hard drive. But it's connected and shows up in normal finder window.

Mac OX X 10.6.8. My mac works great with my external hard drive (my passport). When I go to attach a file to facebook, email, or upload anything directly from my external, the finder window that pops up no longer shows my external as being connected. But when I go to finder on the macbook, it shows that my external is there and I can access files no problem. This JUST started happening. What's wrong?

The hard drive won't show up in finder or disk utility, however i can see it in airport utility.
You would not expect it to show up in disk utility .. it does not work on network drives.
Finder may or may not be able to see it.
If the airport utility is showing the drive you have some possibility.
Did you GUID partition the drive .. or is it still MBR.. ie if it was originally formatted for PC it will be MBR and won't work.. so put it on the Mac again and change the GUID partition.. I would also set a smaller partition size.. the internal drive of the TC is partitioned though you cannot see them.. put a first partition less than 1TB and see how it goes.
In finder.. don't forget ML has issues with network drive.. make sure you tick all the extras in finder preferences.. and if the drive won't mount try to do it manually.. go .. connect to server.
AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress.. where you use the actual name or IP.
Also is the power supply for the hub at least 2A preferably more.. so the hub is powered but the disk is not powered??

How can I set the finder window to open the same way every time?

Everytime I open Finder it goes back to it's default view which is just too small, but I want to set the finder columns and window so that they open the same exact way every single time. I'm tired of resizing everything.
Currently I have to resize every window and column everytime and I think my work is much slower then when I was on Windows because of it.
Is there a setting, script, file, patch, anything, is there absolutely anything I can do to actually control the Finder views and make them adjust to MY criteria and stay that way...

That is a big negative. That does absolutely nothing other then close my window, next time the finder window is opened then the column widths are small again.
In Windows Explorer all your windows are customizable, how do I do this with Finder?

Finder window in apps won't show files after upgrading to Mavericks

Has anyone encountered a situation where you are working within an application and do a File->Open kind of dialog and when you select a directory the spinner just spins forever and nothing is shown in that directory (when you KNOW there's something there)?
I am having this problem randomly. For instance, I opened Sublime Text 2, went to File->Open, navigated to a directory and nothing showed up. The spinner went round and round as if it was waiting on something. I closed the dialog, tried again, and it worked fine. It's happening regularly, but I can't seem to reproduce it.
Any others experiencing this?

Tonight, Finder just plain wouldn't open any folder after popping up on Apple Mai
Ok, this isn't an issue that some NON-Apple program isn't calling Finder correctly. This was Apple MAIL for God's sake. I went to attach a document, and then FINDER just wouldn't open any sub folder. Not ONE. The little "circle of wait" was spinning, and I let it for 10 minutes! Nothing ever came up.
THANK GOD for Path Finder, a Finder substitute that runs rings around the native functionality. I was able to easily open it, and drag files to Apple Mail and send the files.
What this tells me is, again, NOBODY at Apple is doing beta testing. I am honestly about to just put my Mac up for sale and go back to Windows ( I NEVER thought I'd say that!)

Date & Time always change

I just bought a brand new IPAD 2 a week earlier. I found out out that i have to reset the date and time almost every now and then. I go to the Settings, then General, and adjust the date and time.
I thought it was related to the syncing..but its not always the case. Anybody here with a similar experience? Pls help...This thing really affects my calendar syncing the most...
Thanks!!

Chris-
Yes, there is a way to reset the iPad so that all data and purchases are erased. That would involve using the Settings App's General-Reset menu.
The resetting process I described will not erase anything. Think of it as rebooting, which is probably a better name for it.
In the event you were to accidentally erase your data or Apps, it should be possible to restore it from your iTunes backup using the Restore option.

Wrong DATE-TIME FORMAT among REPORTS NOTIFICATION EMAILs

Dear all,
I create a report request with url
https://ocixxxx2.oci.xxcl.net/reports/rwservlet?>destype=printer&desformat=PDF&server=rep_xxxxx2_orahome&userid=ixxxxxx/xxxxxxx@saas&notifysuccess=IASL&notifyfailure=IASL&report=R1000R13.rdf&jobname=R1000R13&desname=HPLaserJet4150PCL6
Email notification was generated with wrong date format .
It's expected to be in UK English but it shows encoded text , may be random. I route it to another email servers such that find the date time is in chinese characters . That caused problem on original email server in which was not supported
Could any expert please advice ?
Warmly

It's indeed an expected behavior.
When a Reports Server starts on a Windows machine, it likely detect the Windows Regional Settings in order to use it when needed later. This let the Reports Server communicate in the same format/way the Server machine uses. For example, if the System / Application Server administrator prefers to use the Windows (on which the Application Server is installed) with Chinese Regional Options, it is normal that the Reports Server send the Notification Email with a "Date/Time" Format matches the Windows.
Thence, you like to get English/Western Date and Time format in the Reports Server Notification Email, it is required to change the Windows Regional Settings from Chinese to English and restart the Reports Server and restart the corresponding compoent. This will let the Reports Server detect the change and will send the Notification Email(s) then with English/Western Date and Time formats.
If English/Western Date and Time format in the Reports Server Notification Email but still have the Windows Regional Settings set to Chinese, you can implement it
that :-
1. Change the Windows Regional Settings from Chinese to English.
2. Restart the Reports Server and restart others.
3. Change the Windows Regional Settings back from English to Chinese. .
With these 3 steps, the Reports Server will keep sending the Notification Emails with English/Western Date and Time format, and maintain original settings.

Location of oracle database crash date time

Hi,
After system crash happens and oracle database is recovered from system crash where can i find the entry in oracle which shows the time of system crash?
I tried the following to get the system crash date and time:
When i start auditing a user by logon and the user is logged on to system oracle creates an entry in dba_audit_session table for user logontime in TIMESTAMP column, but if the system crashes in between when the user is logged in to the system then no entry is made in LOGOFF_TIME column of dba_audit_session table.
in followin example orcl user is being audited by logon.
orcl logsin the system at time 11:36 am and my system crashes.
when orcl logsin again after instance recovery logoff_time is blank, and shows a new entry of orcl.
SQL > select username,to_char(timestamp,'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mi:ss'),to_char(logoff_time,'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mi:ss') from dba_audit_session where username like 'TMS' order by timestamp;
USERNAME TO_CHAR(TIMESTAMP,' TO_CHAR(LOGOFF_TIME
ORCL 16-10-2012 11:36:16
ORCL 16-10-2012 11:46:33
My aim is to get the date & time of database crash.

Hi;
As mention here the only way to check alert.log, If Asm avaliable you need also check asmlog and related log files.

How to change the date/time

Now I chang the CMLocal date/time group and apply it to Device pool for phone, but I find the date/time displayed on phone is wrong ?why?

Related to shipment & transportation Dates & Time.

Hi,
Could you please tell me where can I find following dates & time in customizing.
1) Transit time & transit date
2) Loading time & loading date
3) Pick/Pack time
4) Transportation Lead time
Also can you give one example of forward scheduling & backward scheduling.
Thanks

Hi..
when u r creating sales order first system will go with backward scheduling if it is not reach the dates then system will go for forward scheduling.
Backward Scheduling:
material available datepick/pack time loading time transit timetransportation lead time
for ex order dated is 1st req deliver date is 10th assume like this
for pick/pack time = 2
for loading time = 2
for transportation lead time = 2
for transit =5
in backward scheduling from 10th
522+2 = 11days it is taking that means it crossing the order date ate the time it will go for forward scheduling
from 1st on wards 222+5 it will confirm 11th..
this is happening when the material is available on 1st.
If the material is not available then it will find material available date suppose that is on 3rd the sysstem will calculate like this 225 = 9 ( forward scheduling ) it will not consider Transportation lead time i.e( Lorry arrangement time ) because we can do this arrange ment between 1st and 3rd. then sys confirm on 3rd + 9days i.e 12th.
Pick/pack time system will pick up from shipping point Transportation time ( Trans lead time+ Transit time ) is from Route. Transit time means travel duration time..
Delievry scheduling will be started only from the material availability date i.e., system will first determine the material avail date and then do scheduling. By default Standard SAP system does Backward Scheduling in case material availability falls beyond the required delivery date system will do forward schedluing
Delivery Scheduling consists of the following Basic activities:
We give deatils while creating order:
Order Creation Date
Required Delivery Date
Order date - Material availability date - Transportation Planning Date - Loading date - Goods Issue Date - Required Delivery Date
Time Between GI Date and required Delivery Date is called Transit Time
Time Between LoadingDate and GI Date is called Loading time
Time Between Material Availability Date and Loading Date consists of 2 components - Pick / PackTime and Transportation Planning Time
System has to calculate all this before it determines the confirmed delivery date

"Name" portion of my Finder windows too long

When I open most (but not all) Finder windows, the Name section is extremely long, even when the names in the directory or folder are very short.
Does anyone know a way to reset or define the width of the name column? The other columns seem fine.

Thanks, I agree it's a bug but one doesn't throw such words around here too quickly. Here are the main issues:
• It does not matter how I adjust the size of the NAME section in a Finder Window in List view. The next time the very same window is open, it defaults to the original size when initially opened with the NAME section too long for the content.
• The NAME section is always extremely long regardless of what is in the list (see image attached).
• Often, the TAG dot is so far over to the right that is does ot appear. It is not visible because the LIST COLUMN is too long. The rest of the window columns (SIZE, KIND, etc.) are similarly completely hidden in the overlarge window scrolling off to the right. They can be scrooled into view, but still default to the "too large" size when the window is opened.
• About half the time, it is not possible to adjust the LIST VIEW column size by the handle betweem the sections (NAME, DATE, KIND, etc.). Clicking on the handle (the line between sections) has no effect and the left and right arrows do not appear. This seems to be limited to only the NAME section ofthe window.
Again, resizing the screen does nothing to fix any of this. I've looked at the FInder Preferences in the User Library which I have bolded below. I have opened and changed these in TextWrangler but they revert to the exact same settings, which I assume is becuase there is no way to quit the Finder w/o it saving the currently used preferences and settings (at least the unmutable ones). I will try booting in Target mode and replacing that file later today to see if i can force the OS to default to a smaller column size.
Please! No more "novice" answers to this question. It's not a matter of my not understanding how the Finder works, nor any user error. The Finder windows on this system, for whatever reason, are not working efficiently and not accepting user adjustments for some reason. THAT is what I am trying to address.
Thanks again, Edwin Drood, for your confirmation of the issue.
Best,
mm

How to change Default Finder Windows Size?

Hi all:
New Finder windows show Macintosh HD and there is no problem in keeping the size or view options every time I open a new window (command + N).
I can change "New Finder windows show" to another folder and works just as well.
But when I open a folder in a new window (double click on an icon folder) the size of the window is very small and different from the window displayed by using command + N.
Finder saves and applies default view options to all windows without a problem, but not the default size or in other words:
default windows size is different from new finder windows size.
In Snow Leopard I could change default size of all windows holding down the Shift key while dragging and changing the size but in Mountain Lion it does not work.
I have also deleted all files .DS_Store but neither works.
I searched a lot but can not find a solution to this problem.
Thanks.

As far as New Finder Windows (command+N) are concerned, there's no problem.
All other folder's Finder Windows I have not modified manually are displayed with the default size shown in the attached image. That is the window size that I want to modify.
Thanks.

No editor view in 3.1.2 Project Find window

Previously, when I selected an instance in the Project Find window the lower pane would show an editor window that displayed the found item's file. Now I just get a "No Editor" window.
Is there a new setting that I'm missing?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
The code worked well.
Then I am showing my report as "Link - Within the dashboard" as a option in display result of report property.
So there is Return link and refresh link shown in my No Result view. If I use your code it removes both the link. But I need only the Refresh link to be removed. So I just added a code with your code to have the return link without the refresh link.

Regards,
Raj

Does anyone know why my finder window resizes when I enter time machine?

Can anyone explain why my finder changes size when I enter time machine? I'm pretty sure this didn't happen on Snow Leopard but it does since I installed Lion. It's only a small glitch but it's rather annoying since I have positioned and resized the finder window on my desktop to the place I want it - in the centre of the screen and showing all the folders in my sidebar list. When I enter time machine the finder window becomes shorter, therefore not showing all the sidebar folders. I wouldn't mind if when I exit time machine it reverts back to the way it was but it doesn't so I have to resize over again!
Anyone know why this happenes?

Take a snapshot of this issue and send it to Apple. I think it may be a small glitch.
