IMac to PC networking - 1903 Date Problem

I am running a G4 iMac that is networked to a PC with Windows XP. All file sharing works well, but when I use the iMac to read files from my PC, all the networked files show up as created in 1903!! I have tried copying the files to the Mac, opening them and re-saving them but the date does not change. What am I doing wrong? How can I get these dates to be accurate?
Dann

Use the 'touch' command to change file access and modification times.
Run terminal to bring up a command line.
Typing in 'touch' at the command line will bring up a list of command parameters. For more detailed documentation, then type 'man touch' at the command line.

New iMac 24" 2.8GHz plagued with problems

I ordered a new iMac 24" 2.8GHz with 2GB RAM, 500GB Hard drive, on September 16th (last day for the academic Adobe CS3 deal, and the iPod deal (but unfortunately too early for me to get Leopard)). Not my first Mac (oh how I love my IIcx), but my first new one. Sadly, though I've been noticing one strange issue after another.
First and most frightening to me, is the fans. They never spin up. No matter what I'm doing, they are always at their lowest setting. Doing some work with Photoshop and Dreamweaver earlier today had my PSU up to 160°F and the CPU spiking above 150°F. Upon seeing this, I did some tests. With Lightwave rendering a complex scene with Radiosity, and Quicktime playing a few movies, Garageband running, and a DVD playing my PSU was above 180°F and CPU way above 160°F. ...And still not a sound out of the fans.
This is a problem I noticed shortly after I got the computer and so started using smcFanControl to raise the minimum speeds, but still it would overheat and not raise the fan speeds and I'd have to do it myself.
Am I mistaken in thinking that the fans (since they have the ability) should spin up when the computer gets hot? I know I've seen older iMacs and Powerbooks do that, heck even the cheap Dells in the labs at school will do that. I should have to manually control something like that. It's just not always feasible (such as when in the middle of SimCity 4 which hides the menu bar and doesn't allow Command-Tab).
SimCity brings me to the next thing I've noticed. It's filled with graphical glitches such as all the cars and the highlighted squares when I'm zoning land all are blocky and checkerboarded, resulting in only half of the cars actually being visible. It does it with other random things like smoke and wind power plants. I thought perhaps this was a side-effect of Rosetta, but the Windows version has the same glitches. This says to me that it's a hardware problem. I also noticed that the shadows of the characters in the Lego Star Wars demo have the same sort of blocky glitching and it showed itself in the very end of the Halo demo level. Unfortunately I don't have any graphic-intensive games that don't run in Rosetta, but if it's doing it in Windows too...
Third, it's still freezing. Now, I was lucky in that mine only did that awful freeze a couple times, and I thought that with all the software updates I'd never have to worry about it again, but it happened again today. The computer is completely up-to-date (so reports System Update), but today after I had given it time to cool off after all my tests I came back to it and the screen just froze. Everything was still running in the background (confirmed by iTunes and by logging in via SSH remotely), but the screen was completely frozen with the spinning beachball of doom. Logging in via VNC showed the same frozen screen (I tried screenshots and they showed the same). Oddly though, when I force-quit the process LoginWindow everything went away and went to a blue screen with the spinning wait logo it shows on startup (which caught my attention because the loginwindow process was "not responding" the other day).
And finally, a problem I only really noticed tonight, I had a 50% grey filling a document, and filling the screen in Photoshop. The colour was uneven with slightly darker spots in places, and the upper-left corner significantly "bluer" than the rest of the screen.
Since I know it'll be the first thing suggested, yes, I've already tried resetting SMC ... three times... and just last thursday the thing was off and unplugged for four hours while I came home for Thanksgiving, no luck. I've also tried zapping the PRAM, again, no good. While I've not tried reformatting and reinstalling, I'm quite sure it won't make a difference considering all the problems listed above have shown up in Windows as well. If it's showing up in two completely different systems, then it's definitely not a software issue.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas I haven't thought of, or has had similar experiences. It looks like early in the week I'll be having a nice long phone call to AppleCare (good thing I bought the extended warranty).
I'm really disappointed. I've got an old Classic and a IIcx from 1990 and a "Sawtooth" PowerMac G4 that all still work great, and here I've got a two-month old iMac with all of the above problems.
I've got screenshots of some glitches and temperature graphs, but I can't seem to connect to my webserver right now, so I'll post them later

alright. reformat, no longer have and fan-controlling software running, SMC reset, software update, etc. New, precise test using System Load to add a load to the cpu, Hardware Monitor for the temperatures, and TFMonitor for fan speeds. Running both CPUs at 99.5%*, the CPU fan sped up to just over 1500 rpm (HDD and ODD fans stayed relatively the same), from its resting 1198, with the temperatures maxing out at:
PSU: 176°F (80°C)
CPU Core 1: 164°F (74°C)
CPU Core 2: 171°F (77°C)
System Load and Hardware Monitor (or Temperature monitor) are from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
and TF monitor is from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
Now, to someone with more experience than I, are these numbers within reasonable operating range? And if the CPU fan can go as high as 3300 rpm, why would it not go any higher than half that? (smcFanControl reported 3300 as the max before I reformatted, but after reformatting I can't seem to get it to work)
It just doesn't make sense to me. ....and I'm not fond of the heat radiating off the monitor...
*I tested it up at almost 100% because with the work I do, I often do run around there. From time to time I do 3D renders and video work, and Photoshop almost never closes on my computer.

Connect two iMacs in order to exchange data

Hello everyone,
I am about to buy a new iMac and would like to connect my old iMac via wire to exchange data. I do not want to use the migration assistant as I want to clean up my data. So is there a way to connect these two computers in a way that the old one appears like an external device in the finder of the new one?
Sorry if this questions has been asked before but I have been browsing the web for the past 90 minutes in order to find an answer to this question - no luck so far or I am just searching with the wrong keywords.

There is a way to do what you want: Target Disk mode.
The only thing you need is a FireWire 800 cable and a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter for the new iMac. After connecting both iMacs with the Thunderbolt cable, hold the T key while your old iMac is starting up to start up in Target Disk mode, so the old iMac's hard drive will show up in the Finder sidebar of the new iMac as an external drive. There you can transfer the files you want to your new iMac.
If you have got an old iMac with FireWire 400 instead, everything is much more difficult, because you may need a FireWire 400 to 800 cable too.
Another way would be to connect both Macs to the same network and transfer your files over Wi-Fi, but it is a long and slow process

HT2020 if you have internet sharing on imac with Mountain Lion its stil problem with sleep mode ! why ???

Log a bug with Apple, with whatever details you can provide. In the interrim, consider acquiring a router; either a repurposed x86 box running open-source networking or gateway software, or a commercial device.

I have a strange 3g data problem.

I have a strange 3g data problem. At home I have zero 3G connectivity even though all bars are showing and says "3G" and wifi is "Off" ... unless I am on the phone and then magically the 3G data connection works perfectly!! Does anyone have any idea what is happening? Also when I bring my phone to my dad's or my friends house the problem disappears!! Is this a hardware or a AT&T network problem? os is 4.3.3
Also called ATT and they said there was no problem with the network and that it was a hardware issue. Also restored the phone several times but the problem did not go away.

OK, no trouble shooting. The first thing I'd attempt is restarting in Safe Mode. If you still don't have luck try doing both a SMC and PRAM reset, it wouldn't hurt to do the SMC reset a couple of times. If still no luck let us know.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
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. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Started slowly, doesn't recognise network, wrong date

started up my macbook and it started really slowly showing clank screens I hadn't seen before then once it had started up, it had not recognised my chosen network, the date and tme were incorrect and safari repeatedly keeps closing. I have tried updating the software but still the same problems.
Need Help!!

More than likely the PRAM battery is failing. I have the same problem and am contemplating changing it myself, not an easy task, or taking it to the Apple Store to see how much they would charge to change it. Actually my problems are worse than yours, if I sleep or shut down my MacBook it won't restart without trying about 50 times. As it is right now I never let it sleep and everything works fine.

IMac looks for networks while connected

I have a brand new iMac 21. It's connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme on a closed secure network. It connects fine, but when I click on the WiFi icon, the first line "WiFi: Looking for networks" is grayed out, but with a spinning gray circle on the far right. I can access the Internet and my network has a check mark by it, so why is the iMac looking for networks? Also, when the iMac wakes up from sleep mode, I get a window saying that it's looking for a network, even though I can see that it's already connected to my network. I checked the network preferences on my Macbook, and they're exactly the same as on the iMac, but the Macbook seems to know that it's connected. I checked the "ask to join new networks" box if that makes any difference. Any suggestions? Thanks.

If it is constantly searching for networks every five seconds or so, then it is the bluetooth - wifi problem discussed on other threads. I find that system preferences > network and clicking at the bottom on the 'Show wi-fi status in menu bar' button to switch it off, and then back onto the menu bar, solves the problem. Sometimes on waking I lose wi-fi completely and have to reload, but that's infrequent.
Hopefully Apple will come up with a solution soon.

After updated to ios 4.3.2, network cellular data usage bug..

I just updated my iphone 4 to ios 4.3.2, and I have so many problems now
I have lag problem that it takes forever to access to setting.
Also the network cellular data usage keeps changing..
I got 118TB sent and sometimes I get -162...sent I am outside of country so I didn't wanna get roaming charge so I put on airplane mode
and I turned off cellular data and the first time I checked my usage I was freaked out!
It scares me that 118TB that was sent which is ridiculous and I never ever used actually will be on my bill or something..
I am wondering if this is just an error that I can ignore..it scares me..
and is there any way I can fix it?
i have screenshots

Hard-reset didn't work multiple times.
Restore from backup didn't work either.
I called AT&T from skype on my computer and resolved the issue. Thank you for your help everyone. Here is the solution that worked for me for others to reference:
I swapped my iphone 4 SIM card with my wife's iphone 4 SIM card. Both phones received service immediately and I made successful test calls from both phones. Upon returning the SIM cards to the rightful phones, they both worked right away. I suppose just removing and reinstalling the SIM card could have worked.

3G Network Optimization / Data Throttling

Today I called Verizon Customer service about a data problem I was having. I noticed over the past 2 days my network connection was slow. Netflix would buffer constantly and pandora would play for 10 seconds and then buffer for 20. I spoke to the first representative around 11:50 AM. She informed me that I was in fact being "Network Optimized" because I was a little over 3gb. She told me my only options to keep from being "throttled" was to upgrade to a 4g phone or go to a tiered data plan. I said that that tiered data was out of the questions because I was currently at an unlimited plan. She then said she could early upgrade me but I would have to pay the price point price of the Galaxy Nexus, $299. She also offered me $10 off each line for 2 months (total of $60). I told her that was also unacceptable because I was basically being told I had to spend more money to use the service I had already. She said she would talk to her supervisor who was in a meeting and call me back at 2:00 PM EST.
At 4:00 PM EST I had not received a call from Verizon so I called back in. I spoke with a CS Rep named Anthony who confirmed all the same things I already knew about data throttling (in the 3 1/2 hours between calls I read up on the situation online). After pleading my same case to Anthony he told me he could do nothing and I asked to speak to his supervisor, he side stepped this originally and told me he (supervisor) would not be able to do anything either. I asked again to speak to his supervisor and he obliged. After holding for about 10 minutes I was speaking with a Supervisor by the name of Brent. I plead the same exact case and explained to Brent that this was basically extortion by Verizon to force me into either spending money or giving up my unlimited data. He offered me a $30 discount on a 4G device. I declined the offer because $30 is nothing. If I went to my full upgrade date, 4/10/12 I would get $50 off. I asked to speak to Management... the next step in the chain. He took my information and we decided a good time for management would be 4:30 PM EST on March 8th. Today is March 7th.
I write this so others can see the path and hopefully see some resolution to the situation. I equated what verizon is doing to me as if my power company called me and said that I had to pay the same amount but I would only get half the amount of power. Or if my cable company called me and said that, Yes you have unlimited data but we are going to slow down your connection to 25% of what it can do and that I still have to pay the same. These practices would not be tolerated with your utilities, but for some reason it seems acceptable for my cellular connection. I'm on business a lot and need my data to be snappy and effective, which it has been in the past. I have used a lot of data this month (3gb) but have used more before and have never been throttled. I have read the TOS (Terms of Service) that I signed for our 2 year upgrade last time and see nothing in it in reference to "Network Optimization". With nothing in the TOS about Network Optimization or Data Throttling Verizon is violating their own TOS by reducing the bandwidth of my connection.
All I am asking is that either Verizon honor our original agreement and release my account from a throttled down connection, or upgrade me to a 4G phone (Galaxy Nexus) for free. I only ask the latter due to the fact that the original CS told me that if the released the hold on the data that the system would automatically re-apply it till the end of the current monthly service period. I will keep you all posted after the call with management tomorrow at 4:30.

Thats not true... I pulled this from Verizon Policies located at http://support.verizonwireless.com/information/broadband.html
Verizon Wireless uses the following mechanisms to manage network resources. Both are implemented in a way that is content and user neutral.
If a customer with a 3G device uses an extraordinary amount of data and falls within the top 5% of Verizon Wireless data users, Verizon Wireless may reduce the customer’s data throughput speeds when the customer is connected to a congested cell site for the remainder the customer’s then current and immediately following billing cycle to ensure high quality network performance for other users at locations and times of peak demand. Our proactive management of the Verizon Wireless network is designed to ensure that the remaining 95% of data customers aren’t negatively affected by the inordinate data consumption of just a few users.
Verizon Wireless has implemented optimization and transcoding technologies in its 3G Ev-DO network to transmit data files in a more efficient manner to allow available network capacity to benefit the greatest number of users. These techniques include caching less data, using less capacity, and sizing video files more appropriately for mobile devices. The optimization process is agnostic as to the content itself and to the website that provides it. While Verizon Wireless invests much effort to avoid changing text, image, and video files in the compression process and while any change to the file is likely to be indiscernible, the optimization process may minimally impact the appearance of the file as displayed on a customer’s device. For a further, more detailed explanation of the techniques, please visit www.verizonwireless.com/vzwoptimization

Help needed with missing data problem in CRVS2010

We recently upgraded the reporting engine in our product to use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (previously engine was CR9). Our quote report, which has numerous subreports and lots of conditional formatting, started losing data when a quote took more than a single page to be printed. We knew the SQL results included the data, but the report was not printing those lines at all or sometimes printing a partial line. In addition, the running total on the report would exclude the lines that were being missed on the next page. In one example submitted by a customer, 3 lines were skipped between pages.
I think I have identified two potential issues that document the possibility of data not being included in the report.
The first potential issue is an issue with the "suppress blank section" option being checked. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01483793, being released someday with service pack 2 for CRVS2010.
The second potential issue is using shared variables. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01484308, also targeted for SP2.
Our quote report does not explicitly use shared variables with any of the subreports, but it does have several subreports, each in its own section that has the "supress blank section" option checked. We have other reports that use this feature, as well, and they are not exhibiting the problem.
One different thing about the quote report is that it has a section with multiple suppression options selected. The section has a conditional suppression formula, which controls whether the section is included at all within the report. The section also has the suppress blank section option selected. There are multiple fields within the report that are each conditionally suppressed. In theory, the section's suppress formula could evaluate to true, yet all of the fields within the section are suppressed (due to null values), and then the "suppress blank section" option would kick in.
The missing data only seems to happen when the section is not being suppressed, and at least one of the fields is being included in the report. If I clear the "suppress blank section" check box, and change the section formula to also include the rules applied to the fields in the section, the missing data problem seems to be resolved.
Is this related to ADAPT01483793? Will it be fixed in service pack 2?
If more details are needed, I would be happy to provide a sample report with stored data.

Hi Don,
Have a look at the Record Selection formula in CR Designer ( stand alone ) and when exported to RPT format opening that report in the Designer also.
There's been a few issues with => logic in the record selection formula. It could be you are running into this problem. Look for NOT inserted into your selection formula.
Oh and SP2 is coming out shortly so it may resolve the issue. But if you want you could purchase a support, or if you have a support contract then create a case in SMP and get a rep to work with you to debug the issue.
If you have not try the Trial Version of CR 2011, put it on a VM-ware image or Test PC so you don't corrupt anything for production and have a look at and test it in that designer also. If you purchase a case and it is a bug then you'll get a credit back for the case.
Don

How do I add a printer connected to another iMac on the network to my printer list?

How do I add an Epson printer connected to an iMac on the network to the printer list on my MacBook Pro? I cannot get it to show up in the list for printers to add.

That only works if the printer is itself a network printer. You can't do it if it is directly connected to another computer on the network unless it is configured to be a Shared Printer on the other computer.
