Problem: Mail and iCal dates all appear the same

Hi,
I'm trying to solve a problem with Mail and iCal on a 13" MacBook [latest "unibody" plastic model] of a friend. The MacBook is running Snow Leopard and is up to date.
The problem is that all the dates of sent and received E-mail messages appear the same. They are all set to the 14th of august. I've tried to recompile Mail's database and also extracted all the Mbox files and then imported them again as if they came from another machine. Nevertheless all the dates stay the same. All new incoming mail is also set to this specific date and time.
The problem appears to have propagated to iCal as well. I can't yet tell if it's the same timestamp as in Mail because I haven't been able to check the machine since I've only tried to solve the issue when it was still only in Mail.
The only solution I haven't tried yet is to make a full Time Machine backup, reïnstall Snow Leopard, and then recover from the Time Machine backup. This might help but maybe someone here knows a quicker way!
If anyone has a suggestion or maybe even a solution it would be truly appreciated!
Thanks in Advance,
Arnout

Update
Today I received a message from another friend who is experiencing the exact same problem. The dates of some existing mails and every new mail that is sent or received is set to 10 October 2010. This time it concerns a brand new 15" Core i5 MacBook Pro, also with an up to date version of Snow Leopard.
IMPORTANT:
Concerning the software: in both cases I transferred E-mail from an old Windows machine to Mail using Outlook2Mail from LittleMachines. I now believe that this has something to do with the problem experienced on both laptops.
Again, thanks for any help.

  • Can't i use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time?

    Hello to all and thanks in advance.I use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time and the problem is that when I try to export the xml, the outcome is not what i expect.Without the oledb connection everything is ok (just the schema) and the xml complies with the schema.
    Can't i have both schema and oledb and the exported xml be as i want it?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
    Sorry.

  • My iPad Air when charging cuts in and out, also the charger is extremely hot. Have tried different chargers with and power outlets, all with the same outcome.

    My iPad Air when charging cuts in and out, also the charger is extremely hot. Have tried different chargers with and power outlets, all with the same outcome.

    The troubling thing to me is the fact that the charger gets extremely hot - according to what you are saying. The charger can get warm and can get fairly warm when the iPad is charging, but it should never get extremely hot. Make an appointment at an Apple Store, take the iPad, the cable and the charger with you and ask them to look at everything for you.

  • Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

    DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
    System: AIX 5.3.0.0
    Hello,
    I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
    ...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
    I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
    EXECUTIONDATE1     TIMESTAMP     NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS     "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
    DELDOB          TIMESTAMP     NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS          "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
    The relevant NLS parameters:
    NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
    NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
    If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
    How can I get both date values to load correctly?
    Thanks!
    Sylvain

    This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

  • How do you open multiple binary files and plot them all on the same graph?

    I have three different binary files and I want to plot all 3 of them onto a graph.
    I am familiar with opening and reading a single binary file. (Thanks to the help examples!) 
    But to do multiple numbers at the same time?  I was thinking of putting 3 different 'reading from binary file' blocks with the rest of the 'prompts', 'data type', etc.. and then connecting them on the same wire.
    However, I got into a mess already when I tried to read one .bin file to dynamic data type --> spectral measurements --> graph waveform.  The error was Not enough memory to complete this operation...  Why is that?  That didnt happen in the help example "Read Binary File.vi"...  Has it got something to do with the dynamic data type?
    Thank you for your time.
    Jud~

    Have a look at the image below and attached VI.  Simply enter the different paths into the PathArray control.

  • Sent messages and inbox messages all appearing in same list

    Hi there
    Please can anyone tell me how I can separate out my sent messages from my inbox messages? Currently when I go to "Messages" from the home screen it takes me to a list of all messages, both sent and received, altogether. I've not had this with any other phone - normally have an "inbox" and "sent" - please is it possible how I can see the messages separately as you would do normally, not all together in one long list?
    Are there any Apps to allow me to do this? Does iSMS allow this functionality - to have messages separated into inbox and sent folders accordingly?
    Thank you for any help answering my question.

    It's an absolutely brilliant phone don't get me wrong but this issue dumbfounds me. SMS is the biggest feature on every mobile. Why would a company deliberately choose to design a messages page and have all messages together instead of taking a bit more time (and money) developing it a bit further as with 99% of modern phones and move messages into appropriate folders - inbox, sent, drafts? Just to put them all in one list, making it impossible to tell which are ones you have written or been sent to you.
    For example: if I send a text sms to John Smith that message appears under "John Smith" in the messages page, and then when John replies to it that message too appears under "John Smith" in the same messages page (no other information other than the name of the person) - absolutely no way at all to tell which is the one I have sent and the one I have received without manually clicking into each - if I had 50 messages this would be very impractical as you can imagine. You can see my frustration?
    You cannot tell which messages you have sent and ones you have received - even a small marker like "R" for received and "S" for sent would help distinguish between them and be an improvement if all were to stay in the same page like they do. Is Apple likely to provide a solution to this soon in a next update?

    Hi,
    I would like to get, if it is possible, do searching in one determinate folder and get all the files with the same extension, For example, Give the *.pou and get all the files on one list of the files in this folder and sub-folders...
    If it is possible i would like to see any example.
    Thanks a lot, Fonsi.

    Hi Dennis,
    I got your advise, I download the openG (i had problems, and downloading directly and install one to one).
    Ok, i got but i have one problem, which i can't solve. I entry the promt  to search and put the directory to save, later i push 'Do it' and it search the files, show the paths and number, then save in the folder and finally show the window , all ok!.
    The problem is with the target path, when i want use the browse, it doesnt run properly. I want select one carpet, and it demands one file, i dont understand why??, i changed the options browse but it didnt work. Also i would like when i put one path if folder doesnt exist, directly create it and save the files, if exist copy it.
    Thanks for all!. I attached the file in lv 7.1

  • Time Lapse photos all appear the same - what's going on?

    Hi folks,
    This used to work for me, but for some reason, Premiere CS5 is now having problems.  I take a bunch of time lapse photos and add them to premiere.  I then select and drag them into the Video timeline, and change their duration.  This used to work.
    Now, however, when I select the different photos or play the video in premiere, all the photos seem to be the same as the first photo.  Of course, I've checked and they're not the same.  This is happening with all my time lapse projects now.
    Any ideas?
    thanks!

    Thanks Joe.  If it's just the headers, I wonder if there's a quicker way than using photoshop?
    Ps is quick... I just don't know the batch procedure.
    Also, any idea if this is fixed in CS6?
    Not sure... I am running CS6 and have never had this problem.
    But, I never had this occur in CS5 either.

    I found this, but I've never done it:

  • What make of RAM should be in a MacPro and would they all be the same make in a new computer?

    My MacPro is only just over 3 years old and 6 of the 8RAM have stopped functioning.
    I put the question - how long should RAM last - and had some replies.
    One of the replies led me to wonder what make of RAM should be or should I expect to be in a New MacPro.
    Should they all have been the same make when new?
    2 of the 6 broken RAM are hynix which I believe are used by Apple.  I don't know what the make of the 2 functioning RAM are?
    The other 4 defunk RAM were made in Singapore with a logo - an oval with an M running through it. I can't find any reference to this on the web.
    I am in discussion with the supplier of my Mac so any information would be of help.
    8Gb of RAM should last longer than 3years.
    The other downer/bad luck was that the Apple care package I bought ran out in January just a few months ago although this slowing of my computer started before then but only bad enough last week to have it checked out.
    So disappointed with MacPro.  I expected better.
    I am having to go back to a PC which the Mac replaced which is still functioning after 7 years so......Mac or PC??????
    At this moment in time the PC is proving more reliable and much cheaper!!!!
    Thanks in advance

    The cpu heat sinks are not attached to the ram and this is off topic so I am not going to debate it further with you.  If you have a mac pro open it up and look inside for youself.  If you don't stop speculating.
    I should add these dimms do have their own heat sinks but they are physically part of each dimm itself.

  • Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

    I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
    Rhonda

    Hi Pablo
    Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
    Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
    1. You have to have R12 and
    2. You'll need to wait for the patch
    On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

  • A parameter that filters and also 'Select ALL' at the same time

    Hi All,
    I have a situation
    1. I have a parameter @Param1 that accepts multiple values
    2. I have to display data based on selected values of @Param1 
    Here comes the tricky part.
    3. I have to aggregate on all the available values of the @Param1
    Can any body help me in this. 
    Do i need to take a hidden parameter just for aggregation?or is there any other way?
    Any suggestion is very helpful to me.

    Hi gangarocks,
    Based on my understanding, you want to create a multivalued parameter to filter the report, then display the selected values in the report, right?
    In your scenario, you could specify a report parameter and give available values. Then add a filter based on the parameter in the main dataset. You could add a textbox and specify the expression using Join() function. Please refer to steps below:
    1. Add a report parameter, select the “Allow multiple values” in General tab. On Available Values tab, you could check "Specify values" or "Get values from a query".
    2. In the main dataset, go to Filters tab, add a filter like below:
    3. Add an expression like below, then preview the report.

  • Is there any benefit for me to use smart previews if my Lightroom 5 catalog, previews and media are all on the same external USB HD?

    I keep everything on 1 External USB3 HD so that I can pug it into my Mac at home or my PC at work and just keep working without syncing anything to the local machine. So is there any benefit with Smart Previews in this case? I heard somewhere that it might make the Develop module a little quicker, but is this only when using the Smart Preview and not the full res image?

    Lr uses smart previews instead of ACR cache for initial develop-module view when photos are online - amount of benefit is, in my experience, very minor (not noticeable without using a stop-watch..).
    But if photos are offline, you may experience more substantial savings.
    Note: smart previews are reduced resolution - smart previews of raw files are 2560 x (say) 1920, so if your original raws were say 5120 x 3840, then you/Lr are dealing with 1/4 the number of pixels when editing via smart previews.
    Anyway, if you are willing to give up zoom for one edit pass, you can resize the smart previews so 1:1 fits in your allotted display space (e.g. 1280 x 960, which would be 1/8 number of pixels..), e.g. using the PreviewExporter plugin - then things may be significantly faster in develop module. PreviewExporter also has a feature to take originals offline, and put them back online.
    To be clear: the amount of savings may or may not be dramatic - how much there is depends on your system, size of raw vs. smart preview image, number and type of edits applied, etc..
    Why don't you try it and tell us what you think?!
    Cheers,
    Rob
