When I move a file the date changes to the current date

I have old files that I moved from a pc to a jump drive then to my mac. It seems like sometimes the modified date seems to change on its own. Sometimes it changes the update date if a file is renamed, but sometimes all it takes is moving the file.
It frequently happens when I move pictures.
Any ideas?
Thanks

  • What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.

  • Itunes delays ONLY when playing mp3's. Also it delays when I move any file type into a playlist. Help! I'm about to go back to Windows Media Player!

    Hi friends! Like I said Itunes delays ONLY when playing mp3's. Also it delays when I move any file type into a playlist.
    Here's what I've done so far;
    I 've checked my external hardrive (by playing it off my internal instead), I've tried reinstalling (although it wasn't an uninstall), I've tried clicking on all the neccesary boxes (let itunes organize files, copy files, consolidate, and reorganize), I've tried different sound cards, I've tried moving files quickly (as some have said this works). I'm not sure what's wrong. I have 7000 songs.
    Any help would be great!

    Have you tried installing Media Manager on another computer and streaming the songs from there?
    How about smaller playlists? See the same problem?

  • How to stop preview window from automatically getting focus when you move up/down the message list.

    Since updating (my TB was a few versions old) to 31.2, the preview window automatically gets focus when I move up/down the message list. I'm assuming this is a new "feature". Is there a way to shut this off and leave the focus on the message list so I can navigate up/down like before?

    You are referring to the 'Message Pane' which displays selected opened emails below the list of emails. It is not a 'preview'.
    When you select an email by either using mouse to click on an email in the list or using the arrow keys to select emails up and down the list, you are selecting an email to open and read. That is why it is being opened in the Message Pane so that you can read it.
    If you select an email in the list and then cllck anywhere else including in the Message Pane, then you will have moved focus away from the list and the strong highlight on email in list is reduced to paler highlight.
    When you click on an email in the list, the email becomes highlighted, at this point you can use eg: arrow keys to move up and down the list.
    If you are performing single left click on email in list and then do nothing else and the strong highlight auto changes to paler highlight.
    Check you do not have a conflict with an addon by starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode.

    Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
    When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
    My pc is working with windos 8.
    Is there a solution?

    Hey there Rodney274,
    It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    I came up with an alternative solution.
    Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
    When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

  • When I move my mac the screen flicker and must be rebooted

    when I move my mac the screen flickers and goes blank then must be rebooted. Crap

    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    And sorry to report that OSX is more Widows like than ever, but….
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • When I click PDF file, the file does not open and  installation software for creative suite automatically begin to start. Even after re-installation of creative suite 5.5, only acrobat reader dose not work and the same phenomena occurs.

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HT3281 I HAVE DOWNLOADED SONGS INTO ITUNES. WHEN I GO TO FILE THE SYNC IPOD IS NOT HIGHLIGHTED. I HAVE SYNC SONGS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE

    I have downloaded songs into ITUNES and when I go to FILE the SYNC IPOD sign is not highlighted.
    I believe I have previously used this method to sync to my Ipod!

    Will the media file play with Quicktime Player? If it will then it's an iTunes issue. If it won't then you need to delete the file and download it a second time.

  • When watching movie on ATP2 the display of computer never sleeps

    When watching movies on ATV2 the display of computer will not go to sleep. After fiddling with setting both on computer as well as ATV2 the problem still persists. This coincidentally happened after lastest upgrade never had the problem with last firmware. Is anybody having the same problems?.

    when the computer fall asleep it power down it's harddisk and it's netcard
    so you would likely be more bothered if it did fall asleep because then you're atv2 would
    lose the access to the media if you play media from your shared itune lib

  • How can I read the next e-mail when I delete or close the current one

    Is there a way to setup my preferences so that I can move to the next e-mail when I delete or close the current one?
    I could do this in Thunderbird and I really miss that feature.
    Thanks,

    Hi all,
    I am so sorry to be dense on this (I just switched from PC to Mac last week), but here's my question:
    I like to read emails from the most recent to the least recent. In Outlook, you could set a preference for opening the preceding (older- going down directionally in Inbox) or following (newer- going up directionally in Inbox) email when you delete. It seems to only open "up" in Mail. Am I missing something?
    THANKS!
    -Mariah
    I'm right with you, Mariah. This is exactly my problem, too! Is there a way when viewing message (using the preview window) with the message list sorted in descending date order (most recent on top) and let's say you are view a message in the middle of the list, that when you delete that message the next oldest (further down on the list) message is what's previewed??
    Thanks!

  • When will iPhone have a "range option" when deleting recents calls. The current, one call at time or all, options are not practical.

    When will iPhone offer an "range" option when deleting recent calls. The currents options of "one" or "all" are not practical.

    Really Chris? Yes Really!!!
    You've never used Excel? You can delete multiple rows or columns with ease.
    Yahoo mail gives you an option, by checking a box preceeding the messages, to move or cancel selected (range) messages in mass. I use it daily.
    Outlook and Outlook Express both give you the option to cancel a range of messages, highlight the first message, shift key held, highlight the last message, delete.
    I guess I did not consider browsers or games as stored data when I made the comment
