'Last Used On' column in Programs & Features (appwiz.cpl) not showing information for any installed apps

Running Windows 7 Premium 64 bit
steps to reproduce. type appwiz.cpl in search window to open Programs & Features window
change your view to 'details' (detailed view)
right click on column headers & click 'More...', scroll down & add 'Last Used On' column to view
no installed apps have a 'Last Used On' value

Same here. The Last Used On column itself isn't enabled by default. Perhaps Microsoft dropped the feature for performance.
<quoting Raymond Chen [MS]>
In order to get the "Last Used" and "Frequency" values, Add/Remove Programs needs to know the name of the EXE so it can ask the Start menu "Hey, how often did the user run this program, and when was the last time it happened?"
Notice that there are no clues in the registration above as to the identity of this EXE file.
So Add/Remove Programs starts guessing. It goes through all the programs on your Start menu and compares their names with the display name of the uninstallable item. It looks for Start menu items which share at least two words with the words in the DisplayName.
For example, if there were a Start menu item called "Pretty Decent Windows Program", this would count as a two-word match ("Windows" and "Program").
It then takes the one with the most matches and decides, "Okay, I guess this is it." Suppose for the sake of illustration that the best match is indeed "Pretty Decent Windows Program.lnk", which is a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\LitWare\Decent Program\Decent.exe". Add/Remove Programs would decide that "Awesome Program for Windows" should get the icon for "Pretty Decent Windows Program.lnk", that the frequency of use and most-recently-used information for "C:\Program Files\LitWare\Decent Program\Decent.exe" will be displayed for "Awesome Program for Windows".

It's nice that MS has dropped this feature in Windows 7.

Pages 4.3 was a useful technical word processing program; Pages 5 is not. Does anyone know if Apple intends to improve Pages 5, at least to the level of Pages 4.3?

We used 4.3 as an effective tool for thesis production but in many ways it has become kind of a simplistic joke. Sad indeed and I wish there was some evidence they were remotely concerned. PeterBreis0807's response of "No" is spot on. We will continue to use 4.3 as long as it works as a time-saving substitute for Word.

Generally when you get the resource in use error logging out or rebooting will take care of it. When a file just absolutely refuses to delete try restarting in Safe Mode (hold the left shift key after the computer restarts) and then empty the trash.

Recently, U2 music appeared on my ipod without my requesting it or wanting it. I was able to delete all of the songs except for one. How do I delete the last one from my ipod? The song does not show up in iTunes when I plug my ipod into the computer.

I set up a location based reminder in notification last week to test it out. Worked great, but now I cannot get rid of it. It does not show up in any list on the notifications pages, but can be found in search. How can I get rid of this notification?

Last week I set up a location based reminder in notifications to test it out. Worked great. However, I can't get rid of it. It does not show up on any of the pages, either reminders or completed. I can search and find it, shows it should be in reminders page, but it is not there for me to remove. Any ideas?

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

Plugins & sampltank not showing up for use?

Hi there, I am still having trouble with plugins, can anyone help?
Firstly, after installing and ensuring the AU ones are installed, my plugins do not show up for use in channels etc. they work perfectly in both Bias & ProTools though.
i) I downloaded the waves demos for a 14 day trial and Logic doesn't find them, do I have to do something manually for them to be noticed?
ii) Sampletank2 does not show up either (AU installed). I downloaded the free version and it DOES show up.
Argh...
G

OK, last I checked the Waves passed Validation (I am not a Waves owner) so the demo version may be older-if you are considering purchasing them make sure you get all answers about AU Validation from Waves.
Another thing: Logic Pro comes with a great suite of Plugins. You may want to consider that alternative if you were thinking of buying Waves.
What do you mean it should have happened at startup? It should have validated or they should have passed validation?
Cheers, J

Mike,
If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
Quit LPX
Open Finder
Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
Now Restart your Mac.....
and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
Fingers crossed...
Nigel

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Why are TV show episides for last three days not showing up for purchase on iTunes?

TV episodes for 10/25 and 10/26 are still not showing up for purchase in iTunes. Am I the only one? The latest episodes that show up are from last Thursday. What gives?

I am also having the same exact problem. Put in a ticket with Apple 2 days ago when I first noticed the problem. No one has contacted me reagarding this, and you can't get anyone on the phone!!! So frustrating!!! I went back and put in a dispute for all episodes that charged me and I was never allowed to watch, some season passes others were single episodes. All in all Apple owes me about $150 as of now. We are an Apple family, love their products, but this is ridiculous!!! Glad I'm not the only frstrated party, hoping there is some resolve. Really would like to get what I paid for!!!!!
