I've just noticed that my Finder preview dates are all wrong.

In column view, when an item is highlighted, the Created/Modified dates are all about 34 years in the future.

This is on a two-week old G4 iBook (10.3.5), and only applies to files & folders which were transfered over when I traded the old iBook in. Anything I have created since then has the correct time & date. If I modify one of these old documents, the Created date stays in the future, and the Modified date becomes correct.

Has this happened to anyone else, & is there a quick fix for it?

Thanks.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it. It should fix this.

BTW, you do know that it really is 2004, and not 1970, right?

Note: on some machines, when the date and time is wrong, it defaults to January 1st 1970. That could explain where your 34 years is coming from. I suspect one of the two had an incorrect date & time setting when the transfer occurred.

I had a hunch - something I saw on the news...

I'll give DW a whirl.

Thx.
