Process the result so that the dates are ordered by date

I am retrieving a query result from a sql database of which
one column contains a string of this format:
09/08/2008
How can I process this result so that the dates are ordered
by date?
Thanks for anu help :)

what's your db and version?
pretty much all dbs have built-in string and date functions,
a
combinations of which will let you update your field to be
date/datetime.
you will probably want to create a new field in the table to
store the
converted dates, then check that they all have been converted
correctly,
then delete the current date field and rename the new field
to the old
date field's name.
using your db's string functions you will need to extract
day, month and
year parts of your date text, and pass them to your db's date
creation
function.
if your db is MySQL, it has a very handy STR_TO_DATE(str,
format)
function... check details in mysql ref manual.

I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord). The result is that the project would not load

I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord). The result is that the project would not load in the edit Projects window. I can see the file in the finder window and it will launch iMovie but the file itself will not load in the projects window.
I have contacted apple support and they tried to do a few things... to no available.
With my limited knowledge of file structures I assume that the header file must be corrupt.
Is there a 3rd party utility that can decompile and fix the file structure so it will load properly. I've been working on this project since june and would hate to have to redo the whole thing again.

Many thanks for your help in this instance. The command-option-shift-esc and force quit solved the problem for me . Now I can get back to using my computer once more

With Adobe Flash, the image is looking for a "zoom" setting and does not find it. The result is that the imbedded image is too large for the space allowed. Is there a zoom setting for Firefox?

When running FB game apps, the image loaded is too large for the FB space. The program looks for a "zoom" setting and does not find it. This was from the error screen. I have not been able to locate where the image zoom is located (found the font adjustment). I am new to FireFox and would like to sort this out please.
Your installed plug in assume Shockwave Flash 10.3, but I thought it was Adobe Flash 10.3. Are they one and the same?
Below is the warning message from the Error Console

I'm not sure the CSS warning is relevant to Flash. Maybe adjust your overall zoom level on Facebook manually from the View menu?
View > Zoom
If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to display the classic menu bar.

When creating a slideshow, for which I use JPG files created in powerpoint, I try to export this to a disk and the result is that the file that I am exporting is extremely large (1.2GB). I am only using 9 (97kb) small jpeg files. How do I rectify this

Hi Folks,
I have created 9 jpeg files out of MS Powerpoint which I exported into a slideshow.
When exporting this slideshow, it wants to ceate a file of 1,2GB whilst the jpeg files are all around 97kb in size.
What could the problem be and how do I sort this out?
Kindest regards

When exporting the slidehow out of iPhoto what size are you selecting for import, what size ration is selected in the slideshow's Settings pane, how many slides, what pixel dimensions are they have and what theme are you using?

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing? As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.' So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist. I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue. This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
Thanks.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
Thanks

If I will install OS X Lion on the same partition that the Snow Leopard is I will loose all of my data?

One can't guarantee no data loss. See my backup FAQ*:

All else being equal, it will upgrade you to 10.7, but applications and drivers may need to be updated too. See my other FAQ* for other possible pitfalls:

Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

The same cuts that I have in this clip that i performed with the blade tool, I want to duplicate, copye, paste and apply to another clip. I want the cuts to mimic and be an exact same. I wish i could highlight the clip, click copy and then highlight the other clip and then click paste and the cuts apply.

Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer. How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

HT2433 what does the error message that says " You are logged out because another computer is using this IP address." mean?

what does the error message that says " You are logged out because another computer is using this IP address." mean?

Some other piece of network ghardware on your home LAN (Local Area Network) is using the IP address your Mac is trying to use.
Reboot both your modem and router, or the Modem/Router combo box you have, and all pieces of networking equipment, computers and printers, you have connected to your LAN.
If you continue to get that error then it is a bug in OS X or you have your Mac set to a Static IP address that is being handed out by the routers DHCP server to some other device.
