How to Change the Last Opened Date for a File on a Mac


Open the 'Go' menu and select 'Utilities.' Click on 'Terminal.'
Type the following into the Terminal window: 'touch -mt YYYYMMDDhhmm.' YYYY is the year, as in 2001. MM is the month, like 03. DD is the day as in 06. Hh is the hour as in 08. Mm is the minute as in 34.
Select the file whose date you want to change and drag it over the Terminal window. Drop the file into the Terminal. The file's file path will show up in the Terminal window.
Click 'Return' on the keyboard.
