Login.keychain modification time not changing?!?

When login.keychain is changed by Keychain Access (or anything else, as far as I can tell), the modification time of the file is not changed. I can see the length of the file change, but the mtime does not. As I a consequence, I don't believe Time Machine has backed up any of the changes I have made for several months. Double-plus ungood. Given last modification date I have on the file (March 3rd), I'd have to guess it is a change that came in with 10.7.4.
Any ideas?

Obviously you are the expert on this . Here's the log from the most recent backup:

Calendar day start/end time not changing...

I don't know whether this is a bug in Calendar or I'm just missing something. I have my 'Day starts at' set to 8AM and 'Day ends at' set to 11PM in the preferences window, but the Calendar simply would not change and it's driving me crazy. I never had this problem with Mountain Lion, but since I updated to this new MacBook Pro with Mavericks it just wouldn't work.

Hi boris,
1. minor problem
2. we have to REFRESH the time value
3. using GET TIME.
(Then it will work correctly)
4.
START-OF-SELECTION.
<b>GET TIME.</b>
GV_ST_TIME = SY-UZEIT.
END-OF-SELECTION.
<b>GET TIME.</b>
GV_EN_TIME = SY-UZEIT.

DNG file modification date not changed by writing metadata?

I use LR 2.7 on Windows XP.   To my surprise, I just noticed that writing metadata updates (e.g., new keywords) from LR to the DNG files does NOT appear to update the file modification date, which suggests obvious issues for backup strategies (yes, I understand that a changed modification date introduces other backup issues).   I have verfifed that the metatdata does indeed change in the DNG files, so I am mystified.   Can someone shed some light on this?   Thanks.

Yes, I explicitely invoke "save metadata to file".   Furthemore, I have checked the behavior by (a) modifying DNGs in LR; (b) saving the metatdata to the DNG; (c) creating a new LR catalog and importing the revised DNGs.    The metadata changes do show up in the re-imported DNGs (and the metadata field "Metadata Date" correctly shows the recent change). Morevover, the file sizes do change (wth the metadata changes) even though the modification dates shown in windows explorer do not change.
However, I just redid the experiment to double check, and discovered an important clue - the mysterious behavior occurs when the DNG files are on a NAS device (in particular a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo.   To summarize:
     - When the DNG files are on a local hard drive, the file modification dates change as expected
     - When the DNG files are non local (i.e., on the network but on a NAS device), the file modification dates do not change even though the file sizes do change;
What's more, I see the same behavior when accessing the DNGs via Adobe Bridge (CS5) - i.e., if I change the metadata, I'm asked if I want to apply the metadata changes to the DNG, and I say yes (and confirm by looking via Bridge at a copy of the changed file).   On a local disk, the file modificaiton dates change (as do the modification date displayed in Bridge), but if the files are on the NAS, the modification dates do not.
Any additional thoughts?

IPhone 5c time not changing

My wife and I decided to change from sprint to verizon 20 days ago. We both got the new iPhone 5c's. Over the last week I noticed my phones time would be off by couple minutes, sometimes a few hours. My wife went to the verizon store and the customer service rep was very short with her and said it was an apple problem. I decided to do my own research. I found more people that had this problem and they found out it is a Verizon problem. I have had the phone less then 30 days. Mean while my wife's phone works great. I have been close to being late to work due to the time not being right. I have tried the hard reset and made sure my software is up to date. Not sure what to do next. Any help would be great!!!!!!

Thanks for checking the software on your phone Knine00. The hard reset should have resolved the issue. Do you have any apps downloaded that specifically work with the time on your device? If so, please uninstall it. If you still have issues with the time, you can also take your phone to a corporate store location or Apple store for a hands on evaluation. You may want to visit a store when you see the time is off. The last step would be replacement of the phone if its still under warranty and has no damage.

Daylight Savings Time not changing

I have a Verizon Wireless iPhone 4 and the time didn't change for daylight savings time today. It is set to do it automaticly and I also tried to sync it to see if it would change but it didn't. Any advice?

I, too, suffered the same problem with my iphone 4, os 4.3. My phone did not spring forward an hour, unless I turned it off to do so automatically in the settings. However, my son has a 3gs and his phone DID spring forward. Same house, same AT&T, same os, same everything except for the type of phone. Very strange. I restarted my phone two times, but the only thing that would make it spring forward was to turn off "Set Automatically," then it moved, but if I turned it back on it would go back an hour. Erg.

Reset or recover "login" keychain password?

How do I recover or reset the "login" keychain password. After every restart, I keep getting login dialog boxes requesting password, but no way to get any hints or resets.

Hi pjcapri,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be frustrating when you are prompted for the login keychain multiple times. I would suggest resetting the keychain as well. Please follow the steps in the attached article to complete this process.
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
If you don't remember your original (former) account password
If you don't remember your original password, you'll need to delete the keychain. Deleting a keychain also deletes all the password data saved in that keychain.
In Keychain Access, choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu.
If available, click the Reset My Default Keychain button. This will remove the login keychain and create a new one with the password provided.
If Reset My Default Keychain is not available, choose Keychain List from the Edit menu.
Delete the "login" keychain.
The next time you log in to the account, you can save your current password in a keychain.
Have a great day,
Joe

Login keychain messed up

My son has an account on our computer, and recently he may have done something (neither of us is sure what, and he's unlikely to admit doing anything anyway) that seems to have made his login keychain out of sync with his account.
The symptom that occurs is that he goes to check his mail and the Mail app pops up a dialog box asking for his login keychain password, I presume because his mail account login credentials are stored there. Now, this keychain is supposed to be opened up automatically when he logs in so that it doesn't have to ask for this (I've checked the setting), but it does anyway. If you type in the login chain password, it then continues on and does its thing correctly until the next time he checks his mail.
So, it seems that whatever is supposed to keep his login keychain open is not doing so. For a while, his login keychain password was unknown to us as well but we managed to reset it. I'm not sure what the keychain password is originally when the account is created, but now it won't let us set it to be the same password as his account--the system says it's not secure enough.
Any ideas how to get it to stop prompting for his login keychain password?
/mike

That tells me that the login keychain password doesn't match the account password, which I knew already. But...it won't let me CHANGE the login keychain password to the account password. It says it's not secure enough and just basically prevents it. But it lets me set the account password to anything I want.
I've had much less secure passwords for my account password before than the one I'm using, and it never prevented my keychain from syncing up before. How do I get keychain to match the account password, regardless of how long/secure it is?

How can I fix an annoying repeating request for "login" keychain by multiple applications like Safari and AddressBookSourceSink.

This issue arose after upgrading to snow leopard and ultimately to Mavericks. I took my Mac into a Genius Bar to have them look at this issue. We attempted to change the Keychain Password which failed to change the local items password. As a fix we changed the administrator password then changed the keychain. This appeared to be the fix however my Mac was never connected to the Internet while at the Genius Bar. Upon returning home and reconnecting to the Wifi the popups began again.

Logging-in doesn't create new login keychain

I'm helping someone with 10.5.1.
We had to reset their account password (they forgot it), but now their "login" keychain password doesn't match, and they don't remember it. They don't mind too much if they must lose their old "login" keychain (there's not much in there).
So I started Keychain Access, selected the login keychain, and chose File:Delete Keychain "login". I deleted "references only", because maybe they'll remember the password later, and there might be things in there they'd like to recover. Now, from reading
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301364
it sounds like if they reboot and login again, it's supposed to make a new, clean "login" keychain, but it doesn't. In fact, it finds the old "login" keychain all over again and it shows up again in Keychain Access.
Is this a bug in 10.5.1? Am I supposed to do File:New Keychain and make my own keychain named "login"? Am I supposed to use Preferences:Reset My Keychain? Is there an Apple article that covers how to recover from a lost "login" keychain password? That article I read appears to be incomplete.

..."it sounds like if they reboot and login again, it's supposed to make a new, clean "login" keychain, but it doesn't."...
The "help" document referred to in the article you linked (which happens to be a 10.4 help document) suggests:
..."If your keychain has become inaccessible for some reason (for example, if you've forgotten the password), you can delete it and manually create a new keychain."...
Note the word "manually", which implies that rebooting and logging in won't automatically result in the creation of a new keychain. The wording of the 10.5 is slightly different, with the absence of the word "manually". However, the wording still suggests that you have to create the keychain yourself:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/9078.html
..."If your keychain has become inaccessible for some reason (for example, if you’ve forgotten the password), you can delete it and create a new keychain."...
I suspect that in 10.5, you do still have to create a new keychain manually ("File" > "New Keychain" and naming it whatever you like), select it in the sidebar list of keychains, then make it the default keychain ("File" > "Make Keychain "xyz" Default").
