Why is the date changed when I move files to an external drive

The date of my files is changed when I move them to my external Lacie drive.
Is there a way to prevent this?

Hi Luuk, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!

The date is retained in 10.4.8 here, on both a copy and a move to an external firewire drive.
Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility was another fix.

  • Why does the font change when I combine files?

    I am trying to combine PDF files into one document using the "combine files" tool online.
    The new file that is created changes some of the fonts to different fonts (I think it is having difficulty with times new roman in particular). I need to keep the original fonts when I combine the files, how can I stop it from changing the fonts?

  • Why did the date change to september 21 when it is realy august 21?!?!

    I tried cropping a picture and suddenly my phone turned off then turned back on by itself. When it turned back on i noticed the date changed to september! Why did this happen? And how can i change back the date?

    This has occured on my iPhone 4 16GB three times this morning.  Once at 8:15a, then at 10:30a, and just now at 12:00p today (all times are Central). 
    Device:  iPhone 4 16GB (MC318LL)
    Carrier:  AT&T
    iOS Version: 5.1.1 (9B206)
    Turning the phone off and on does not fix the problem.  Could be an issue with the date/time info when queried from the carrier. All three times I was on 3G and had a weak signal. Once the date changed, 3G was lost and then went to 2G (EDGE) and then 3G was restored.  I am wondering if it will happen at 2:00p also.

  • My macbook pro does not remember the dates of when I saved files

    I have had my macbook pro since late may of 2010, but I recently noticed it has not been remembering the day I saved files. It claims that every file was saved, or last opened on 5/1/2010. How can I make it so my computer remembers the dates of when everything was saved?

    Is the clock showing the correct time. Check in System preferences > Date & Time to see how you have this set up. It may be that you are connecting (or trying to connect) to an online time server that is not right. Do you have to reset the time?  Also, are you having any problems with the battery?  I am not sure if this MacBook Pro has a separate battery for the clock, but  if that were defective that may cause symptoms like this.

  • .DS_store won't let me move files from one external drive to another

    I am trying to move some music files from one external harddrive to another.  They are both connected to my mac mini.
    In the "from" harddrive I have a folder with a bunch of music files in it and it also has a new file in it called DS_store. When I open this folder and select all, it naturally selects all of my music files and this DS_store file.  When I try to drag all of this to the "destination" harddrive I open the folder that I want to drag them to which already has some music and it has the DS_store file too, it won't let me drag the files to it   It says something like there is already a DS_store file there.  So I tried deleting that file from each external drive and it just reappears.
    If I create an empty folder in the destination drive, I can drag all of the files to it.  The problem is I want the new files to be in the same folder with the older files.  
    In addition there are a few other ghost type files that have shown up too.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.  Thanks.

    If you're copying from a FAT-formatted volume, do as below.
    Back up all data.  
    Select the text on the line below by dragging across it. Don't include the blank space at the end of the line. Only the text should be highlighted.
    dot_clean -m
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.  
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Now switch to the Finder and and select the icon of the FAT volume. Drag into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.
    Click in the Terminal window to activate it, then press return.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. Then quit Terminal and try the copy again.

  • Running my .mp4 Movie files from an External Drive

    I have quite a few familiy movies etc that I've put together using FCP and I've sent these to itunes as .mp4 files which I then playon our TV through the apple TV module.
    However I'd really like to be able to store these home movies on an external drive to save my HD space and also keep them safe.
    Is it possible to trasfer all of these .mp4 files in my itunes movies folder onto an external drive and run them from there on my apple TV?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    No, Michael Allbritton's (MA) method just copies the files you have selected to consolidate to the location you have temporarily designated in preferences.  MA didn't mean "library" as being the library file (library.itl) but the "collection".  Your files would still all be managed from the same iTunes library file on your internal drive but the movie files you selected to consolidate would now be referenced to their new location on the external drive.
    Note the difference between these two methods:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Moving your movies will only apply to your current collection.  If you add movies in the future you will need to make sure they are on the external drive, then hold down the option key while dragging the file to iTunes to tell iTunes to not copy it to your internal drive (which has been re-set as the location for your media folder after the move directions).

  • Why does stroke color change when i move layers?

    ok, i have a lavendar box with black stroke on green layer.  on blue layer i have everything else: text, lighter lavendar bg, graphics.  when i move the box on top of the bg layer, it looks fine,    see below
    but i need for the small box to be underneath the graphic.  wheni move the green layer below the blue layer, the black stroke becomes gray:
    how can i keep it black?

    Is this the box where you changed the opacity by movingthe slider in the Effects panel? That creates a transparent condition and the black border may also be taking on the transparency, depending on if you selected Object or Fill while moving the slider.
    In any case, I don't think you want transparency in this position at all, and that your fill should be a solid color, as should the stroke. If you want the fill to be a tint of another color, make a swatch of that color and either create a tint swatch from that (a good idea since you can easily apply it lots of places), or fill the object with the swatch, then move the opcity slider in the SWATCHES panel to adjust the tint.

  • Why does the color change when I open a warm image in Photoshop CS6?

    Whenever I open a warm color image in Photoshop CS6, the color of the image automatically changes? Please see the attached screenshots below.
    What is the solution to this problem? Please Help.
    I use Windows 7 Ultimate. Photoshop CS6.
    Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 2000

    There is no "problem" to "fix". A raw file is just the data captured by the sensor, not yet an image. To produce a useful image it needs to be processed in a raw converter, either automatically in-camera or with a standalone converter (ACR).
    The camera LCD shows you an in-camera processed jpeg, according to the camera manufacturer's idea of how the raw data should be interpreted. There is nothing inherently "correct" about this, and a lot of the original data have been thrown away in the process.
    ACR doesn't make any assumptions about how the final image should look. It shows you a neutral starting point, with default settings to preserve as much of the original data as possible. The rest is up to you. You're not supposed to just accept the defaults. The sliders are there for a reason.
    You can change the ACR defaults at any time if you come up with settings that are more to your taste.

  • Adobe InDesign CS2 -  Why does the resolution change when I import a PDF file to InDesgin

    When I import a PDF file to InDesgin the resolution from the PDF changes.
    Any ideas?

    InDesign uses a low resolution thumbnail (might be the wrong way to descirbe, but easiest to visualise) to represent images/files placed into indesign. As InDesign is a page layout program it enhances the speed of the application as it doesn't have to draw the images in full detail, but rather just represent them in their size and position in the layout.
    There are 3 viewing settings, available through the View> Display Performance (for the whole document) or Object>Display performance (on an object by object basis).
    The resolution of the image from that point on relies on whether it was Vector or Raster, or in PDF and EPS cases, vector and raster. As already mentioned Vectors and PDFs don't contain a resolution. Vectors are mathematical equations that require the device outputting the image to draw them to the best of their abiltiy.
    PDFs are a wrapper for a file, it can wrap text, vectors and raster for output.
    But all the same, InDesign uses lo-res thumbnails to represent the PDF/Image/Object until ready to output. But you need to adjust the Display Performance.

  • Why does the layout change when creating calendars in iPhoto?

    Hi.  How can I stop iPhoto from automatically changing the layout when adding photos to make a calendar?

    Hi.  Latest version of everything.  Picture calendar theme.  Let's say I choose the layout that uses 6 photos.  I begin to drag photos where I want.  Sometimes the layout stays the same, but sometimes the layout of the photos changes positions, even after I have placed a specific photo into a specific place holder.  If I place a photo into a specific place holder, I would like it to stay there and not change positions.  I am not an iPhoto user - I use Aperture, but I cannot create calendars from within Aperture - so it seems to me there ought to be a tick-mark someplace that I need to uncheck so iPhoto stops rearranging photos as I place them into the layout.  I hope this make sense.  Thanks for taking the time with with.  It is appreciated.

  • Why does the colours change when I import a video?

    When I play my fresh footage in quicktime the colours look fine, as soon as I add the footage to final cut the colouring goes all odd. It has a Red tinge to it and the blues look as if they have turned to a sort of purple? They look like this in 'All Clips' and the previewer, yet when I look at the timeline the colours look ok.
    I've also made 'All' is selected on the channels so it isn't that. Is there a way I can do a mass reset on Final cut to put it right? Does this on all videos I import and events I create!

    I can't even see where that setting is.. for my information all the footage is from a GoPro so what I've had to do is convert them to .mov and Apple ProRes 422 now. Now when I have them in final cut the samples in 'All Clips' and in the time line look ok in till I hover over them and then they have the red hint again, they do how ever export the right colour now but this is going to make colour correction difficult

  • Can't move .mov files to an external drive

    When I try to drag my files to an external hard drive for storage, I get an error message. However, if I DELETE the .mov file that I exported from FCE, I can transfer all the files no problem! I find that SO strange, but it's happened dozens of times. I have to delete the .mov export file before I archive the project.
    Any ideas?

    What files are you dragging, from where to where exactly? What's the error message?

  • Why does the format change when i share a presentation?

    I develop a presentation in Keynote in my Imac.  I then place it in a flash drive and pass the presentation to my MacBook.  When I open it, all the fonts are changes, it has added bullets, the sizes have changes and many of the pictures are gone.  I have the same fonts installed in both computers.  How can I stop this?
