Lightroom changes file date and time

When I imported a large number of images to Lightroom, keeping the files in their original location, the dates and times of the files were updated. This is a bit of a pain because it means that about 4000 files will now be backed up again to the online backup service I use. Why does LR change the filedate when all it's doing is importing to the library?

In this case it is the expected behaviour as LR will write any metadata changes right into the files, thus changing the modification date of the image files.
Either uncheck the above mentioned preference setting or beg Adobe to bring us back xmp side car files for jpeg, tiff and dng.
No, I'm not stalking you :)
The following applies to Macintosh OS X, 10.4.8. I don't know if the same happens with Windows.
I had a similar problem when editing some JPEG file from my Fuji F30. When I would Export the metadata the 'Modified' date of the file changed as expected. However, for certain files, the 'Created' date also changed. I opened a case with Adobe, sent them a description of the problem and some sample files. The Technical Support person reproduced the behavior and passed the information to Engineering.
Yes, Adobe, give us XMP files for all files.

NI unzip changes file date and time stamp

A coworker this morning asked me about the NI-Unzip VI.
It turns out that when the NI unzip VI unzips a file it changes the file dates to the date the file was unzipped.
He also noted that NI-Unzip seems to be calling the Windows touch.exe to do this.
The diagram for NI unzip is locked and password protected so his attemp to change this action blocked.
Does anyone know a way around this? Either to make the NI Unzip stop changing the file date or the passwork to teh unzip vi?

Hi,
I don't think NI will give you a password for it's protected functions...
So you can:
- use "System Exec" with a command line version of a ZIP tool of your choice to unzip files
- make your own "Unzip" VI with calls to a "unzip"-DLL of your choice
Choose the one that is easier to implement for you

How to get local file date and time ( 10g version )

Hi,
Would like to ask if there is any way to get the date and time of a local file. It seems that webutil does not have this function.
And I want to use client_host ( dir c:\file.txt > c:\temp.txt ) and the read this file to get the file date.
But the problem is the file date and time ( in the dir ) varies in different PCs.
Best Regards,
Ivan

But the problem is the file date and time ( in the dir ) varies in different PCs.
You mean the format of the date and time don't you?
If so you maybe could create a java bean which does that for you using the lastModified Method of the File class.

Apple Remote Desktop - how to change the date and time server ip address?

Our imacs keep getting out of synch with our Windows Active Directory server and when they do, users can no longer log into the imacs. The imacs this morning were more than 5 minutes fast, for example.
So, we have changed the date and time server on one of our imacs to our internal time server and that works fine. Now I would like to update all of the other imacs using a unix command in ARD. Can anyone tell me how to send this change? For this message, let's say our internal time server is 172.30.100.100

Not a problem. There are a number of other system and network setup commands that you might find useful at some time. From within the Remote Desktop Admin in the Send Unix Command window type:
networksetup -help
systemsetup -help
That will give you lists of the commands, including the one I posted above, with their basic syntax. They're handy to know.
Cheers.

How do you change the date and time format in Pages

I've tried changing the date and time format a number of times for Pages but it does not change. I'm going to the System Preferences/Language and Text and Formats. I make the changes click on OK and go back to Pages. NO change.

Hi Uncle,
Page 116 of the Pages'09 User Guide: Control Click the date, Edit Date and Time.
Date and time can also be in a table. Format the table cell.
The User Guide is well worth a read. Download it from the Help menu in Pages.

Change the date and time of a photo in iPhoto?

How can I change the date and time of a photo in iPhoto?

Use either the Adjust time and date command or batch change time and date command
Adjust is to fix incorrect times like wrong camera settings - batch change is to record a totally new time and date - typically for scanned photos
Select the photo(s) and use the appropriate command for your needs

Changing the Date and Time of photos

Hello,
i have been importing images from my windows machine and want all the dates to be correct, i have seen the adjust date and time, and made the changes but under the events the dates dont change and when i click individual photos the dates and times are not changing.
so i was wondering how do i change the time for each photo and event? can i change the time to a start and finish date rather than just one date?
Any help with the above would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I have just looked at this again, i dont see an option to set both a start and end date, any ideas?
That is not an an option - and it makes no sense
You can do one of three things:
1 - add a constant delta to all selected photos thereby correcting an incorrect setting on a camera and preserving the sequence and integrity of the photos dates ad times
2 - change the date and time for all selected photos to a specific value
3 - change the date and time for all selected photos to a base value plus an increment for each successive photo.
There are two choices under the photos menu
1 - adjust date and time - this adds a constant Delta to the selected photos - is is designed for correcting camera times or time zones but keeping the basic sequence
2 - batch change date and time - this simply changes the date & time to your selected value with an option to add an increment to each
Both have an option to modify the original photo which I do (I'm not sure why you would not want to modify the original)
And when i go into photos, the ones that i have altered by +Photos >>> Adjust Date and Time+ still have different times and dates, any ideas?
AS described in the iPhoto help and above
1 - adjust date and time - this adds a constant Delta to the selected photos - is is designed for correcting camera times or time zones but keeping the basic sequence
So after adjusting time and date all photos selected will have the time and date changed by the same amount (a constant delta) and if they were all different before they will still all be different - if they were all the same before adjustment they will still all be the same but at a different value

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Don't have proper privilege to change the date and time. Group Policy does not work

Hello All,
I have configure group policy to change date and time only administrator. The problem is Windows XP machine cannot view the calendar but windows 7 can. So i need to view the calender for windows XP machine.
Error: you do not have proper privilege to change the date and time.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi Parvez,
Before going further:
I applied a VM Windows XP pro. When I logged in as a local admin, I can view the calendar from the right corner of desktop or from control
panel. However, when I logged in as a normal user account, I received the same message as yours.
For now:
I know this is not what you want. However, for normal users to view calendar, we can consider to give
Change System Time permissions to these users.
In addition, regarding this topic, the following article and thread can be referred to for more information.

Lightroom changes file date (build and changeing date) by jpg files

Hallo
I am using Lightroom on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Problem is that Lightroom changes both dates of the file (the date when the file was build and the date when you have made changings on the file) when i save the Metadates to the file.
This happens only by jpg files. By raw / xmp files is the date of the raw file not changed, the both dates of the xmp are also changed like by jpg.
I want not to change the time when the file was build. So that i can see in the Finder / Explorer when the file was build ( Photo taken).
How can I solve this Problem.
Thanks for Help

Do not save the metadata to the files. It's quite unnecessary to do so, but of course, you should have full backups of the images and the catalog(s) [.lrcat].

TS4268 I changed set date and time automatically to "no" and I was able to activate iMessage. This seems contrary to all the troubleshooting discussions I've been reading.

Is there any definitive info on this subject?

When ATV is setting date and time, and hangs there, it usually indicate there isn't a network connection. Is your router still working, is the Internet for all the other computers on the same network working? Have you tried changing from WiFi connection to Ethernet or vice versa?

Is it possible to make it as the following? if it is possible
could u please let me know how to fulfill the follwing requirement.
ACK File1.<same File1 date and time>.XML
Where <same File1 date and time> format = u2018YYYYMMDDhhmmssu2019 .
2) Is the XML file name visible in the SAP-XI monitoring screen and will it help to trace the messages?
thanks in advance,
Pasi.

Hi,
I didnot under stand your first question coulf you be more specfic.
2. Ans : In general , we will follow the below steps
--First we we check for the file is picked or no, if not see the Sender side CC parameters like mode and path details
--If file was picked then we need to check whether we are using the File content conversion parameters or not if yes we need to check the FCC parameters ,
Goto RWB-Channelmonitoring by the following link
http://host:port/mdt/channelmonitorservlet
select the sender side CC name and check for errors
If no errors in above, goto SXMB_MONI for Integration Engine xml processing , check for successful or error occured black or red color
--if success in SXMB_MONI then we need to check in RWB as above channel monitor now select the receiver side CC
If no errors then check for output file is placed intarget or not
Please reward points if it helps
Thanks

File date and time

how to retrieve the information about the date and the time of a file.
I want to identify my files with
filename + date.toString() + time.toString()
It because some files may have the same name, but different date and time
thanks in advance for it,
Felipe

File myFile = new File(path);
long time = myFile.lastModified();
// convert time to date and tme

My laptop died last night and the date and time was set for 1/1/2000. I went to change the date and time and cannot. For some reason when i pull up system preferences it will not load date and time but will load other stuff. Please help.

Last night my laptop died and the time and date was reset. I cannot acess date and time preferences to change it and my laptop is acting really weird. My CD drive is broken so there are no options to put in a cd. Please someone help i need my laptop for school and cannot afford another.

Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. Resetting the NVRAM and / or SMC will not fix it, and if the system has a preposterous date you may not be able to open System Preferences to correct it. This dilemma may or may not be addressed in a future OS X update.
If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 8 February 2014 then reverse the mm and dd values.
Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
mm = month
dd = date
hh = hour (24 hour format)
nn = minutes past the hour
yyyy = year
Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is February 8, 2014 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
sudo date 020821002014
or
sudo date 0208210014
Either one will work. If you enter nonsensical values the system will attempt to parse the entry correctly.
To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.
