This a very simple guide on how to change a file's “date modified” and “date created” attributes on Mac OS X I wrote back in May Since then these. When working with your company's files on a Mac, you may need to change the file dates as they are displayed in the Mac Finder. For example, you may have a.
QuickBooks uses th Please let me know how it goes. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for coming back andre. Can you change the short d Can you change the short date?
I have the same date problem. I've changed the short date I've changed the short date format.
To test, I've been trying to run a report but QB wants to recognize the entry for the month as the year. Has there been a fix on this date issue? I'm using Mac OsX Did you quit QuickBooks when you changed the date format? It only updates on launch. I have had a problem with the date as well. At first it w At first it was only taking today's date and wouldn't accept any date prior. Any suggestions?
I am running Mac OSX Very annoying Esp since it varies,, if it would be constant a person could learn to work with it Have a similar problem - I just upgraded to QB so I Have a similar problem - I just upgraded to QB so I can use it with Sierra, and want to enter a transaction that happened in the past - Feb 8 but when I go to the next field it reverts to today's date I have several months worth of entries to do and want them to be on the proper dates, not the day I am doing catch-up.
How can I get Quickbooks to keep the dates I want to enter? Andy, in my case I finally discovered that if I reset to Any time I have a custom date format it will only allow todays date Its a very frustrating problem as I have to be switching date formats any time I need to print an invoice..
Who knows when though We are working on the custom date issues. Its tricky as Its tricky as the custom dates differ in behavior on different versions of the OS among other things. But we are working on it.
I think Andy's issue is different though. You can search in the search field in the preferences screen and that may help you find it.
Anyway - sound like you want the "user current date" preference off. Thanks to both for your comments. I had "use current dat I had "use current date" unchecked in "transactions", and was using the default date settings in the Mac OS Preferences. When I try to enter a past date on a new entry it switches to today's date as soon as I move to the next field. This will make preparing my General Ledger and time-dependent entries a total mess. I am not a happy camper and considering switching to another accounting program -- UGH! I just thought of something -- it has happened with other I just thought of something -- it has happened with other applications when I've upgraded, that the previous version's preferences remain active somewhere in my system and mess things up -- when I've deleted them things settled down.
Anyone know where Quickbooks stores its Preferences files? You know what I miss? Those pre-defined search items that used to hang out over in the Finder sidebar window. They were super handy. Turns out, you can get the same sort of search power right in Spotlight. Activate Spotlight with a quick Command-Space, or open a Finder window and click into the Search field in the top right.
Either way, type in your search argument, choosing whether you want to look for files that were created on a date or modified on a date, like this:. Replace the x with actual dates, and Spotlight will return the files that you created or modified on that date. Use the following syntax:.
Using real dates instead of the x placeholders will get you a list of the files you made or changed within that date range.
