Finding out when a new HHD was installed...

Hey i want to find out when the exact date i installed my HHD into my macbook pro....
I origionally had a Macbook Pro, then at a later date I replaced that internal drive with a new one, I want to know what date i replaced it....
Is there any system logs, hardware logs or preferences that contain this infomation?
I dont have the reciept for the drive obviously.
Regards

I doubt it - physically installing a hard drive is not something that the software is aware of.
If you did a clean install on the same day there might be some file that was created on that day and maybe not modified since that would have a date associated with the file - but there may be files - especially if you restored data from a backup - that will have date stamps prior to the install of the hard drive.
I put a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro that I ordered on 30 Dec 2008 - and when I do a Finder search on "log" or "install" I do get a lot of hits for 9 Jan 09 - which is likely the day I put the new drive in.

Need to know how to find out when a friend request was sent?

I really need to know how to find out when a friend request was sent. if anyone knows please tell me

Btw. The original purchase information on your app is available in your computer, in your iTunes account.
Click apps and find the app you are looking for.
Right click on the app and "get info"
This will show when it was purchased and under what Apple ID.

How can I find out WHEN a specific iPhone was reported stolen?

I bought a storage unit at auction. There was a brand new iphone 4S, among other items, in the locker. Many had receipts with the owner's name so I know it wasn't a storage unit full of stolen merchandise. I ran a check of the iphone through a website, imei.info, and it seemed to come up clean (Verizon locked). The Ebay buyer backed out of the auction and now, days later, is claiming the phone is stolen. I'm thinking the buyer for some unknown reason, is the one who reported it stolen, just recently, and is trying to scam me. When I called Verizon, they confirmed that this phone was either lost or stolen but could not tell me when it was reported.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN FIND OUT THE DATE THE PHONE WAS REPORTED STOLEN, AND POSSIBLY WHO REPORTED IT STOLEN?
Many Thanks!!!
Anthony

Buyer fraud has become a problem on eBay.
I ran a check of the iphone through a website, imei.info, and it seemed to come up clean (Verizon locked).
It probably would have been better to contact Verizon directly, but if you kept records of that research, use it to dispute the buyer's subsequent claim. Unfortunately, eBay buyers hold all the cards these days, and eBay's robots will simply order you to accept a return or face suspension of your account and seizure of your PayPal assets.
To dispute a SNAD may require that you obtain a court order to subpoena Verizon's record of the theft, which will entail an expense that will almost certainly exceed absorbing the loss.
Ebay is a buyer's paradise. For sellers, not so much.

How to find out when last rman backup was made in 9i

Hello,
i have an oracle 9i database running on windows here. Is there a way to find out when the last rman backup was done with a sql query?
I would like to create a job inside the database that regulary checks if a rman backup ran sucessfully instead of using scripts in the operating system.
But i only know about commands in the rman utility (that i can not execute as a job, right?) - is something similar possible with for example sqlplus?

How do I find out what OS my macbook was installed with

Ok here's my problem, a while ago my mac book stoped wotking altogether so I took it into a computer repair shope who advised me that the both the memory and hard drive needed replaced so I authorized this to happen, then they asked me to provide the OS disc that came with the machine but for some reason it's totally dissapeared now and I cannot find it, from memory I seem to recall it being a 10.6.7 version and I've looked around to see if i can find one for sale but can only find ones like 10.6.3 so my question is,am I able to use the later to get the OS installed and then go from that to Lion, or must I install the 10.6.7 that I think is the one that was installed with machine when I bought it?
any help will be appreciated, thank you in advance

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You need the Mac OS X 10.6.7 DVD that came with your computer because the Mac OS X 10.6.3 disc isn't compatible with the MacBook you are using. Call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
The best way to know what Mac OS X version came your MacBook with is to provide the Model Identifier, that you can find in "System Profiler" application. Another option is to insert the last numbers of the serial number in this website > http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
After installing Mac OS X 10.6, you will be able to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. Make a backup of your data before upgrading and check that your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

How do i find out when my old desktop was purchased or built?

We have a HP desktop model a1512x and would like to find out approx when it was sold or built. S/N is [edited] but when I key that in on HP's site it doesn't come back with anything. Just wondered if there is someplace else to look.

How to find out where the exe file was installed?

Hi there,
I have the following problem: In my VI, I'm reading a .txt file through the vi "Open Config Data" in which I specify the path of the txt. file and it returns me a refnum that is used to read the file. When I made the installer to this application, I included this txt, thus, the txt is kept together in the directory where the application is installed. The problem is that the path that is specified to the vi "Open Config Data" is not valid anymore, since the instalation directory is different. I'd like to know if there's a way to know where the application was installed. Maybe through a registry? If you have a suggestion, I'd be glad to hear it.
Kind Regards,
Bruno Ponne

In addition to the information that JB provided, you can also do something like what is shown in the attached VI that I use. It takes the approach of stripping the current VI's path till it gets to something that doesn't end in .exe, .llb or .vi. This will give the OS path regardless of where the VI is located. I find this useful because I sometimes build applications utilizing a library of plugins and, depending upon where the plugin library is located, the path to it may not be the same things as the path to the executable.

How come my screen always freeze when Mozilla brings up a new version. That happened on last Firefox update and now when the new Thunderbird was installed. This is really bugging me.

I am using Windows 7. This never happened when I used XP Professional.

Hi John, thanks a lot, I see that. It actually answers another question I have. I already had that box checked, but I never knew that dialogue box was there. Anyway, my MOTU midi express 128 is dimmed and all 8 midi channel lights are on which has never happened before so there must be something wrong with my midi setup now. sheesh! This helps a lot! Thanks!

At UNIX, where to find out when the Java stack was re-started?

On the NT platform, we can check Java stack's restart time from SAPMMC.
Could anybody tell on UNIX, where to check this?
I looked into SMICM but no findings.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can restart Java Stack from SMICM transaction. i.e SMICM-->Administration and you get many options
and in the ICM trace file you get these options , I think.. For this SMICM and DisplaY all ...

Is it possible to find out when was ipod nano 6th gen last time connected to the iTunes?

Hi
I would like to know is it possible to trace this information using serial number or is it possible to get this info from some authorized personal?
Thanks in advance

You may not be able to show "When" the iPod nano was plugged in, but you can find out when the last sync was. Open the desktop iTunes app (you don't need to plug the nano in), choose the iTunes drop down menu, select "Preferences" {or after opening iTunes, use Command-Comma to show the Preferences, select the "Devices" icon. It will show all devices which have been synced. This may or may not show if logged in under another user. This is only the easiest way. Jim

How do I find out when a picture was downloaded in my photo file on my ipad

I'm trying to find out when a picture was added to photos on my iPad. Is there away to do so?

i'm not entirely sure about the new tab page - in principle it will use an algorithm which populates the slots based on the frequency & the recency of visits. however i think that sites removed from the history should also disappear from the new tab page (when i tried it it was at least true after i've restarted the browser once) - if this isn't happening for you then it might be some bug...
in any case firefox won't have the proper features to reliably monitor your kids' browsing behaviour - they always can use private browsing mode where no traces will be left on the pc or manually "clean up" the history.

How do i find out when a tab was last visited?

I have just recently started using Firefox, after using Chrome for a long time. It was on my computer, but I never used it before. However, some of my kids use my computer. I stopped using Chrome and just began using Firefox for my browsing and when I open a new tab, the window includes other tabs that have been visited. I see that there is some questionable browsing going on and I want to find out when these websites were visited. When I check the History, I only get for today and yesterday and it doesn't take much to figure out how to browse in private. My question is twofold...first, how did these tabs get there in the first place? And two, is there any way to find out when they were accessed?
Thanks!

How to find out when dcpromo was run on a server?

Is there an event ID or something that gets logged that shows when dcpromo was run on a server? I am trying to figure out when a server was promoted to a domain controller.
Thanks

multiple ways to find out when DCPROMO was executed......
* Check the DCPROMO.LOG in C:\Windows\Debug
* Check the creation dates of the folder for the NTDS.DIT file and the SYSVOL
* Check the creation of the computer account, the NTDS Settings object (all in AD)
this should give you an idea of when DCPROMO was executed
Cheers,

My iPhoto library was erased, can I get it back or find out when it was erased?

We have been away for abou six weeks and found that my iPhoto library is now empty. There were thousands of photos. The library file is still in the same space but it is empty. The last time machine backup was in August, which would have been fine, but the external HDD has failed and we can not recover the backups.
Assuming there is little to no chance of resurrecting the actual library, is there a way someone can look into the OS and find out when the library went from GB in size to kb? If I can pinpoint the date it may have happened it will be easier to narrow down as something we have done or the people who were looking after our house while we were away.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Is there a way I can find out when my last icloud back up was using the computer? The screen on my iphone is not working so I need an alternative way. Thanks

My phones screen is shattered and will no longer turn on. I need to find out when the last time my phone was backed up before I go to the apple store. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, the last backup time will be displayed on the iPhone Summary tab in iTunes
