Wrong Dates and Sizes in List View in Finder (10.3.9)

Hi,
I'm in the Finder (Mac OS X 10.3.9) looking at a folder.
The folder is in List View mode.
Here's the problem:
Files that I edited yesterday are continuing to show up as modified "Today."
What's with that?
The Finder window won't update. (And I modified those files 12 hours ago.)
This has been going on for years.
Sometimes clicking on each file will trigger an update of the info, sometimes not.
Sometimes the dates are wrong, sometimes the sizes are wrong.
Is there a cure for this Mac OS bug?

Good luck.

Wrong date and time in apple's mail client

All mails in my inbox are displaying date at 1429 a.c. Although through my web gmail interface, dates are correct the mac client is fault. I also tried with Thunderbird e-mail client and i also get wrong date and time. I checked the date and time preferences and everything is correct. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
In the Initial screen, please remove the tick for Display Header. It will not give any header details after execution. If you want to remove only date, you just check with your ABAPer, he can help by changing in program.

Drag and Drop in List View

When in the List view in Finder, I would like to drag and drop a folder in Terminal to cd to that path. However, it does not appear that List view allows dragging and dropping at all even to copy files within Finder. Is it by design? I like List view because it allows me to see the tree view of folders like in Windows Explorer. Thanks.

Works here. I've never had any issue selecting anything in list view (the only one I ever use in Finder windows) and dragging & dropping into a Terminal window and getting its path. Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the behavior persists.

Incorrect file date and size

I have just resaved a large project in Photoshop CS6 as both a .psd and .jpg file but both the file date and size in Explorer and Photoshop>Open show the date and size of a previous save. This was a bit confusing and concerning as I thought I had lost all my hard work, but on opening both files they contain the latest updates.
Anyone else experienced this, and why is it happening.
Thanks

They show the same date because what your looking Window at The File Explorer UI and Photoshop Is using a Windows File Open Dialog are showing the same File date. I ask where you were seeing dates in Photoshop. It turns out your looking at file open which is using a windows dialog. Windows file system records date for files in it file system directories and knows where application store dates in some files formats. Like Image files metadata. Windows UI has options to display many of these dates. Some date may be redundant however if there is an option to show a date it will be stored in a different location. Which also means these redundant date may be out of sync if they are updated at different times. Which date windows shows by default I'm not exactly sure which one that it is or when it gets updated.
If you right click in the dialog column title bar you can select many dates to be displayed some date will not be present in many file formats. Here is a screen capture of Photoshop open dialog have you even seen this.

How to add custom columns to the list view in Finder

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to view additional file details in the list view in Finder, for example audio bit rate, so I don't have to do "Get Info" for each file separately. I couldn't find a way to add columns other than the ones listed on the view options dialog.
Can anyone help me find a way to do it?
Thanks,
Tal

Have you checked the Help menu for what you want to do? I found this in Apple support - List View Options
Check the AppleScript Forums. There is probably a script that you can use.

Data type size for the view column

I am creating a view from base table using substr() for some fields. The data type size of the column in the view becomes twice the size of the corresponding column in the base table. Example
SQL> create table temp_sat(name varchar2(20));
Table created.
SQL> create view temp_view as select substr(name,1,10) name from temp_sat;
View created.
SQL> desc temp_view
Name Null? Type
NAME VARCHAR2(40)

Wrong format for spreadsheet table, list view, label component

I have a movie which is connected to a web service. The web service feeds into cells that are linked to a spreadsheet table component. The cells are properly formatted in excel and the fields show up fine when using static data. However, once I pull in data in preview mode or with a published movie the cells lose the desired format. I tested this with other components such as list view and label and get the same result. I do not see the same results with the mouse over values in a chart though. Anyone know what might be the problem?
Thanks for the help

Thanks for the response Andy.
The fields I use have the same uniform format so there is no dynamic formatting going on. I have read up on the rebind fix and have tried it but it doesn't seem to change things.
Here are the specifics of my situation. I paste some sample data returned from a query into the excel sheet. One of the fields is a percentage so I format those cells appropriately and the excel sheet reflects the change. I then bind the spreadsheet component to the cells containing the sample data. The percentage field is properly displayed on the canvas as well as when I go into preview mode. I now feed the cells with the sample data with a web service that uses the same query I used to generate the sample data. In preview mode the percentage cell now is unformatted and shows up looking like a decimal number. The same situation occurs for a label component bound to a single percentage cell. I even configure the label component to format the text as a percentage.

How to increase the font size in list view

I have Aperture open in list view and even tho I have the slider all the way to the right, so the images are larger to see, the actual font size of the various topics in list view has not increased. I have trouble seeing and need the font size to be made larger. Within Aperture = don't want to do the change to the whole computer, just to the list view in Aperture. Thanks.

Aperture does not support to increase the font size. If you do not want to reduce the resolution of the display to make the fonts larger, you could enable Accessibility and activate a local Zoom.
This way you can zoom in on text, but your images will show in the best possible resolution.
The Accessibility options are activated from the System Preferences > Accessibility.
You can toggle zooming using ⌥⌘8, zoom in using ⌥⌘=, zoom out using ⌥⌘- .

Convert ALV report into PDF and mail ( Hierarchical List View )

Hi All,
I see many posts of PDF download but none resolve my issue.
I am writing a report in APO SNP which fetches data and displays an alv using REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY as i need to show the result as a Hierarchical sequential list.
I need to provide the functionality of PDF download ( online ) and Email with PDF as attachement ( Background ) for the list output.
I read the post http://www.sapdev.co.uk/reporting/rep_spooltopdf2.htm which provides a sample program and tried to incorporate but the control doesn't come back from the ALV function module.
How do i trigger the spool creation while still showing the output and then send email?
Suggestions and pointers are highly appreciated
Regards,
KD

Why is the wrong date displayed in the month view?

Hi there,
I just noticed something in the calandar for iOS7. If you are in the month view, the highlited date is the the priviuse day (fx will highlight the 18 Sep when we have the 19 Sep). but if you go in to the week view, the correct date is highlighted. Any idea's???

I had the same problem...in Calendar/Month view, the calendar heading (top left) did not match what was shown. For example, I would be seeing January 1 to 31 and the heading would be December. As I scrolled down the months, the heading would lag one month behind. With guidance from Apple, I did a iCloud backup, then did a factory reset. With the "new iPad" everything worked well. I then downloaded my backup (all my data and apps) and the problem came back. Tried a couple of things and what eventually solved the problem was removing the gTask app (which I had tried but was not using), then did a "Reset All Settings...no data erased) and now everything is working as it should. Seems to me that there is a conflict with the Apple apps and gTask.

.bin extension defaults to wrong action and is not listed in options applications tab. I can't change the action.

I recently installed VLC player and it has overtaken my system.
When I click on .bin (ext) files in a Firefox browser window, the default action is now listed as "VLC.bin (default)" and nothing I do can change it. I want the default action to be to download the file and I would like to remove any option related to VLC, since no .bin file should ever be associated with that program.
There is no listing for a .bin extension for VLC (or any other program, for that matter*) in the Options/Applications tab, nor is VLC player the default action for anything listed except .wav files.
I have tried the following:
1. searched the options/applications tab but found nothing.
2. searched "about:config" for any entries with "bin", ".bin", or "vlc" (one at a time) and found nothing.
3. searched the registry for bin extension entries. I found one:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.bin\OpenWithProgids]
"bin_auto_file"=hex(0):
"VLC.bin"=hex(0):
I deleted the key and rebooted. No change.
4. Double checked [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\.. Gabest and Mozilla keys for anything that could be causing this behavior.
Found nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
*As far as I can tell. However, the applications tab cuts off many of the extension names and the column cannot be extended, so I can't be certain. VLC added 34 extensions to the list (!), most of which default to using the Quicktime plugin 7.6.8.

Thanks jscher2000, I tried your suggestion, but no joy (as expected). None of the extensions were .bin, and in fact, I can't find a single listing for handling the .bin extension in the entire (unfiltered) list.
That's why I'm so confused. Where is Firefox getting the name "VLC.bin (default)" from in the first place?
cor-el, I checked out the link that you posted.
I don't have an entry for "browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes" and the entry "plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" was empty (default setting).
My bad, but I forgot to mention in my first post that I had also tried renaming the mimetypes.rdf file in my "Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxx.default\" to .old to no avail.
Firefox created a new, almost empty file, but it didn't change the behavior for .bin files. I removed the new file and put the old file back in place after determining that clearing the file did not help, since I am otherwise happy with my current file-type options.
However, since the option to "Always perform this action" is grayed-out, I am looking into the possibility that the website is sending a misconfigured MIME type or is assigning "Content-Disposition: attachment" to the download. What's odd, though, is that I've never had problems getting binary files from the site in the past, and the problem started when the VLC player was installed.
I'll post back after I check into the server header data.

Tecra A10 - Wrong date and error messages

Hello, Toshiba Tecra A10, PTSB0A-002001 running XP pro,
I keep getting the wrong date & error messages on my laptop when I leave my laptop for long periods off without charging, so I guess that the Cmos battery is no good, so I am asking: what is cmos battery number and where can I purchase one?
Thanks

Hi joe75,
Before you exchange the CMOS battery: Leave the AC/DC adapter connected for at least 24 hours. During this procedure the CMOS battery will be recharged and the notebook should be able to store the correct date & time settings again.
