Why does "Date Created" sometimes show dashes instead of a date?

My finder shows four dashes ("----") for the "date created" on a large percentage of my files. When I look at the properties of those files, there are "Created" dates on them. Some of the files are .PDF, some are .doc (I haven't checked for .xls or .txt files). Why does this happen, and what can I do to fix it so the "date created" is in the finder window?
Thanks!

Perhaps that information isn't in the file. It may have been lost through various copy events on machines that did not recognize the information or where the information was lost during transfers to and from Windows or Linus servers.

  • Why does "Find Friends" sometimes show a big, purple circle

    Why does "Find Friends" sometimes show a big, purple circle around the friend I'm locating?  Not the small dot that *is* the friend, but a larger radius...

    Essentially, that's the error bar of the location, indicating that your friend has not be accurately loccated.

  • In mail, why does entire email address show up instead of just person's name

    When I address most emails (to persons who are in my contacts), only their names show up in the "To:" window. But with certain people, their name plus their <full email address> all show up in the window.
    I've tried re-entering their names in my contacts. I've tried deleting these names-with-full-email-addresses from the Previous Recipients list. No matter what I do, their name fills in as "First Name Last Name <full email address>" in the "To:" window. I also mail to other clients at the same company and their names just show up as names only -- normal.
    Any idea why this is happening, and how I can make it stop?

    It's fixed. Not sure why. Maybe one of the things I tried just needed time to take effect. Suddenly, it's working.

  • Why does Adaptive lmtr. sometimes show overages?

    Sometimes the adaptive limiter just won't limit for me. Usually I can unistantiate and then put it back in and then it will work, but not today. Anyone had this?

    Wow. That threadt mus have frustrated you. I find that the Adaptive Limiter normally works well to stop peaks from exceeding whatever limit I set, but sometimes it doesn't. I mean, I'm somewhat new to Logic, but I do mixes with the AL pretty much daily for the two and a half years, so I have a pretty good idea of how it works.
    I'm surprised that more people aren't saying that, yes, they have also enocountered this, or that there is something that doesn't immediately meet the eye that can make this problem appear to exist.
    Based on your thread, ThenCame, it seems like you've done more trouble shooting than I have. I should point out that the my limiter's output meter still shows proper limiting. It's my main out that shows clipping. I don't have any plugs after the limiter or anything like that, and my master fader level isn't over zero.

  • Why does Group created on Master console does not show any device count mapped on the managed Amp?

    Q: Why does Group created on Master console does not show any device count mapped on the managed Amp?
    A: When a group is created on master console it will be pushed to all the managed amp which is added with Manage group configuration enabled. The Group pushed to the managed amp will be created as Global group and you can create subscriber groups for the global group to which you will add the device into since we cannot add any devices into global group directly.
    Hence there is no device added to the global group, on the master console it does not show any device count for the groups that are created on master console.

  • HT201413 Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes

    Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes?

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear then disappear?

    Why does the scrollbar sometimes appear but then disappear? When I open a window the scrollbar is sometimes there for a just few seconds. If I select it within a few seconds and use it everything works fine. If I don't use it, it disappears and I can't get it back. How do I get the scroll bar back? Why won't the scrollbar show up at all on web pages?

    It's a feature which is supposed to enhance your interface with your Mac and its operating system on screen. It is a "visual aid" that is meant to remove on screen clutter.
    You can go to 'system prefs/ click general/ click 'Show scroll "Always button"
    There you go

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Using Windows 7 and LR 5  when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword.  Why does the Library Filter showi

    Using Windows 7 and LR 5,  when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword.  Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

    Dan,
    Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding".  There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics.  There is no overlap between the two sets of pics. 
    I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn".  I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
    gwenn
    schwartz
        {gwenn}
    From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
    The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
    This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
    So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand. 
    It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family.  A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc.  Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe".  Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".
