OS X lion changes "Date Created" for old files that I edit or update.

Whenever i edit my old photos and save the changes, Finder changes the "Date Created" for that file to the date of the last edit.
This is annoying as i used finder and date created to search through my old images. Is there any way to get it back to functioning like the previous system ?

What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)? I wish I could record it and play it so I could see if thats normal from other members... the icon just sitting there for over 35 second (I just counted 36 till the loading screen popped up) at first I thought it was me not clicking hard enought cuz the mouse button I have is real stiff (any ideas on that?) but no it takes that long just to get to the app loading screen... this happens every time same amount of time with the 3 programs I use the most, prolly more but I know for a fact world of warcraft, uTorrent, and Google Chrome. I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded  to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.

  • Change "Date Created" on File Folders

    What is the easiest way to change or alter the "Date Created" on file folders - To a date that is 6 months older? (OS 9.1)
    I need to store my photos in a single large chronologically ordered file. Some of them are sourced from scanned photos and some are received in emails from folks.
    I want to store them in the same date order as the day the photos were taken and NOT the day I filed them.
    Thanks.........Robert

    Neil and Don,
    I figured out a way to allow me to change the "Date Created" to any date I desired.
    1. Open "Date & Time" file in "Control Panels".
    2. Set the date desired (i.e. 6 months earlier.)
    3. Then Close "Date & Time"
    4. Now in (finder) click on "Command + N",
    This creates an "untitled file folder" on the desktop
    with the newly selected "Date Created".
    5. Give the new file folder the name desired.
    6. Drag the desired files to the newly created file folder
    and drop them.
    7. Trash the OLD Date Created Folder.
    8. Remember to go back to "Date Created" in "Control
    Panels" and change back to the current date.
    The above took care of my original question; But, I decided to use the same technique to change the "FILE" date created,
    rather than the "FILE FOLDER".
    I opened my digital camera software and took a ".jpg" photo file and did a "Save As" while "Date & Time" were in the altered state. My .jpg photo file now has the new "Date Created".
    I know that Niel and Don are completely aware of such a technique, But, I figured other forum members may find this method useful.
    Thanks for all of your continuing help........Robert

  • Unable to change Date Created in Metadata

    Please help with my first post...
    Unable to change Date Created field in Metadata.
    I am a newspaper photographer sending .jpg pics with captions to my office from my iMac. They are viewed at the office on Windows PCs using SCC MediaGrid.
    When changing Date Created in Metadata Invalid Format warning appears "Format should be ISO 8601 XML compliant, that is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm[:ss][tz] (eg 2006-07-11T13:14:30-07:00)"
    If 2009-09-26, for example, is entered then exported pictures opened up in Photoshop or shown on SCC MediaGrid do not display the date.
    To get dates to show up I first have to open a pic in Photoshop, go to File Info, enter 26/9/09 in Date Created and Save As.
    Next I have to Import this into Aperture where the Date Created shows as "20090926".
    Using Lift Metadata and Stamp Metadata the date can be transferred to other pics.
    Now when I export these pics the date does show up in Photoshop and SCC MediaGrid.
    Can Date Created be typed straight into field in Aperture?...Very important when pics go into archive on a server.
    Also if I hit Return key in a Metadata Caption, to type on the next line, both lines will appear as one with a small square in-between them when viewed on SCC MediaGrid on a Windows PC.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Nick I don't generallt use the IPTC metadata, so I'm not sure I will be too much help.
    What version of Aperture are you using? I tried both things and I didn't have any problems with the latest version of Aperture on my Mac.
    I was able to enter a date into "Date Created" both with and without the time-zone adjustment. Can you tell us the exact string you tried to enter into the "Date Created" and exactly when you get the error? I tried to enter my time zone (eastern US) as "-5:00", but Aperture wouldn't let me enter the 5 and popped up the error message when I typed that key. I had to use "-05:00".
    As for the caption, when I hit return, Aperture ends my edit. I cannot reproduce your described behavior of actually getting a new-line into the field. I suspect your problem (although I don't know how you get to your problem) is one of the following:
    1) The IPTC standard doesn't tell if the software should use a Unix-style end-of-line (which is a line-feed), or a DOS/Windows style end-of-line (which is carriage-return followed by line-feed). Aperture may put in the Unix-style and your Windows programs don't know what to do with it.
    2) The IPTC standard does indicate the end-of-line style, but either Aperture or your other programs don't follow it.
    or
    3) IPTC Metadata doesn't actually support end-of-line, so Aperture should not allow you to enter multiple lines, but it has a bug so it does allow you to do that.
    Can you tell us where exactly you are editing the caption? I tried it in the inspector pane (on the left) in the "Metadata" tab, and then I hit the "IPTC" button at the bottom of the tab.

  • Date created for playlists

    how do i find the date created for my playlists? i have too many and want to only keep the recents.

    Sorry but just trying to understand.
    Not sure why the Date Created on a Sequence makes a difference to what is sent...which I assume would be an Export.
    ie how does the Sequene relate to "the finished versions for broadcast"?
    My finished versions for broadcast (TVCs)  have a Key number *& title on the file name and if I look in Explorer..the date created is in the appropriate column.
    If I wanted the sequence to have that  "created date" info..I would put it in the Sequence Name alongside the Key number etc.

  • My Apple ID changed back to an old ID when I installed last update on my iPhone 5s.  How can I change it back to match what is on my MacBook Pro and iPad?

    My Apple ID changed back to an old ID when I installed last update on my iPhone 5s.  How can I change it back to match what is on my MacBook Pro and iPad?

    Hi GlendaGirl,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're unexpectedly seeing the incorrect Apple ID on your iPhone 5s. You can use these steps to sign out of iCloud on your iPhone 5s and sign in with the right Apple ID:
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account [Sign Out in iOS 8.] Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

    What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
    Thanks
    <moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

    Illustrator is not working as it should...
    I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application. 
    Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
    Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
    That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
    Thanks...

  • I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac.  Any suggestions?

    I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. The drive is not listed in Disk Utility.  Any suggestions?

    Is the computer in you equipment line:
    Dual Core Intel Xenon
    (which is not a PowerMac but a Mac Pro) the one you are asking about, or do you have an older PowerMac?
    If a Mac Pro, their forums are here:
    Mac Pro
    and, as Mac Pros have a totally different architecture from the pre-2005 Macs this forum covers, you may not have the same issues that can affect the older models. If someone didn't notice your equipment line, you could get advice that doesn't apply.
    If you really have a pre-2005 PowerMac, read on.
    If the stubborn external is USB and does not have its own power brick (i.e., it gets power only from the computer's UBS ports--"bus powered"), it may not be getting enough power. As electric motors age, they can demand more power than when new, and the power available on any USB port is limited.
    The typical workabouts to making a computer recognize an aging, bus-powered USB drive are:
    Get a powered USB hub (has its own power brick
    Get a "Y" USB cable: 1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    The second gets power from two USB ports on the computer and often that's enough.
    Remember that the USB ports on your keyboard seldom provide enough power even for a thumb drive, so be sure to use the USB ports on the back of the computer.

  • How to determine the creation date/time for a file?

    The important operating systems maintain both a creation date/time and last modified date/time for files. But in the File class there is only a lastModified() method. How does one determine the creation date/time for a file?

    As far as i know, there is no way to know creation time, since it is a OS dependant information.

  • 8dot3 filenames not created for Program Files and Program Files (x86)

    Interesting issue we are realizing on Servers deployed from SCCM 2012. 8dot3names are not created for Program Files and Program Files (x86). they are created for other files/folders at the root of C and below Program Files and Program Files (x86). This is
    causing issues when programs are installed and the path is then created with 8dot3 filenames for program files and program files (x86)

    Arg. we just got bitten by this "feature", and it's affecting our security software stack (name starts with M and ends with ee), and some ancient crud too.
    And found this, which suggests a logical reason for 8dot3name to not be present on servers, but, on clients, I think it's a rather gross assumption...

    So, i have bad news for you : you'll have to rebuild again.
    Meanwhile i have excellent news for you : there's an online tool made by Johannes Henseler called Sidecar xml which builds the necessary xml file for you, sort of what you find in the Digital Publishing Folio Editor website, but saves it in your Folio folder.
    Next time you import all your folder (with that file), it will place all the necessary information, and even reorder the articles.
    Build once, play many times.
