Setting date & time for a file

Hi there!
I need something that allows me to modify the date & time of creation of a certain file...
Coming from Window$ world, I used a little program that did it: the main use would be when I have a digital photo that I need to rotate, I do it and then I give the new file the same creation date and time of the original one.
Thanks in advance and Ciao!
Sergio

You can do this in iPhoto. If you import your pictures into iPhoto you can then select them all or one at a time and choose BATCH CHANGE from the PHOTO menu. Then you select choose DATE from the pulldown menu. You can even add time between photos (if you do more than one at a time).
Hope that helps.
EDIT: If you want to do this outside of iPhoto, there is a freeware app called MIANA, which I just found. It's a Universal Binary, too!

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.

Updating EXIF date/time in XML files (Bridge CS4)

Is there a way to re-read the EXIF date/time information from RAW camera files and update that existing information in the XML files?

To my knowledge not with Bridge, maybe with a script.
Basically the problem occurs while using multiple camera's that have not all the same correct date and time. To my experience the quickest way is to bite the bullet once and using the filters for date time for each dslr and apply labels to each dslr, then manual select the correct sequence and rename the whole bunch with a sequence number in front of all the filenames so you can use filename to sort the correct order.
And after this of course check next time all date and time settings before starting a new job :-)

Set Date & Time Automatically

I have an Airport Extreme tied to a cable modem. I also have an Airport Express setup using WDS (remote base station). On both the Exteme and the Express I have checked "Set Data & Time Automatically" and selected "time.apple.com".
The Extreme finally has the correct date and time. (And I assume year.) However, the Express keeps loggin this error; "No address for NTP server time.apple.com." (I am using the "AirPort Management Utility" to view the logs for each Airport.)
I tried typing in the raw ip address for time.apple.com but it didn't change anything. Other then this minor issue both Airports are working fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Your setup is similar to mine but my Express is in Client Mode not WDS. Here are some of the log entries I see. After it powers up the time is wrong and it reports the same as you of "No address for NTP server time.apple.com." but after a short time it does!

Dec 31 17:00:01 Severity: 5 Initialized (firmware 6.3).

"Set date & time automatically" not staying checked

I don't know if this has already been discussed (searched and found nothing) but I just noticed tonight that on both my black MacBook and my new MacBook Pro will not retain the "Set date & time automatically" function. I check the box, close the window, open the date & time settings pane again and it's unclicked. I have no idea when this began happening but it's getting pretty annoying. I believe this could also be contributing to the older MacBook not working with Back to my Mac anymore.
Anyone else having this problem?

HI,
Open System Preferences/Date & Time. Make sure the box is checked for automatic. Now click the gold padlock icon so it's closed. You will be prompted for your admin password. Quit System Preferences and restart your Mac.
See if that helps.
If not... Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

There is no API for this you'd have to run an external command using Process.exec.

Please help guys... Cheers..

Hi, Katie.
I had this same issue and what worked for me was power cycling my wireless network and the Apple TV. However, if the issue persists, here are a couple articles that will walk you through troubleshooting this issue.

If the steps in the article above do not resolve the issue, then a restore may be needed.

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.

How do you fix error message "data rate for this file is too high for DVD. You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate".

When trying to burn a DVD it will go through the encoding step and at 98% we see the message 'data rate for this file is too high for DVD. You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate". We need help to correct this so we can complete burning to DVD.

Do you use any characters in the password that might confuse the zip command? (like '-' or ';'?)
If I use the command in RHEL4:
