When importing, creates folder with wrong date

I found a curious bug in Lightroom 4.2.
If I have pictures taken after 23:00, Lightroom creates an import folder in the next day, but the dates in the files are correct.
Example:
The file's date is: 29/11/2012 23:19.
However if I hover my mouse over the image in the import dialog:
The date that appears is 30/11/2012 00:19. Here's the detail:
After you import, you get the image in the wrong import folder, but the meta on the image is correct:
I've started to notice this before, but always thought of a wrong date on my camera. Just noticed that this happens with my camera, iPhone, and any other photo that has a time after 23:00.
Do you know if there is a solution for this?
Thank you in advance,
Manuel Azevedo

Does your computer time match with your camera time? Summer-/winter-time apart?
The reason, why I am asking this: the map module auto-assumes that these times match (rather than asking you in which UTC-time zone your image time stamps should be interpreted when tagging from a gpx-track).
Could be that something similar is happening in import module if you let LR auto-create destination folders based on date-time.
I have no experience with this as I prefer to explicitely give the names of the new destination folders myself.

Importing old pictures with wrong date stamp. After adjusting date they are landing in the correct folder of referenced masters.

I was thrilled to learn that with Aperture I could have one big library and using referenced masters, I can organize the pictures by date so I know where everything is and can backup to the cloud. I started importing really old photos that were taken with god knows what camera and the date is wrong. Since I had all these in date structured folders I could make a best guess on the date - not needing it to be exact, just so it shows up close enough in projects and the original lands in the right folder for future use & backup. I have come to learn that changing the metadata is only referring to how Aperture sees it. In other words, images that were taken on 10/31/04 are still landing in the referenced masters folder on the date the camera said. I now understand that the metadata date is not the date Aperture needs fixed. Is the best way to fix this to delete the images from Aperture, find some tool that will adjust to the approximate real date, then reimport. If so, can someone recommend a utility that does this? If I can fix this inside of Aperture, even better. I saw on one of the discussions: "it's all about the Exif and IPTC and not about the file metatata." Please feel free to learn me on that. Cheers.

That answers some of it - the relocate files. That will allow me to put the files in the right year/month folder. I imported full folders into Aperture so need to edit the metadata date for multiple pictures at the same time. I understand when you select multiple pictures and then ajust time, it adjusts in relation to the first picture. In my case these things were taken by all sorts of crappy cameras & re-edited years later (2003 data). So pictures taken on the same day have 2001, 2003 & 2007 dates. I really do just wnt to set all of them to the same (ballpark) date.
So my goals are:
1) have the pictures land in the right referenced folder - answered
2) do a mass adjust time to the same date for a folder of images
3) have the projects then land chronologically inside Aperture - not sure about this one yet
Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated.

Newbie needs help creating folder with different date buckets

A simplification my scenario, I have a table, Invoice, which contains invoice amounts and invoice dates. I want to break up the invoices amounts into date buckets, such that my target report should look something like this:
Invoices<30 Invoices<60 Invoices<90 Invoices>90
$100 $250 $500 $1000
I have created a folder from the Invoice table, and would like to know if it is possible to create new items within this folder to allow me to sum invoice amounts over the 0-30, 30-60, 60-90, 90+ invoice date ranges. In other words, can I create new items that each have their own condition?
I have seen other solutions that use a custom folder backed by a SQL query using case statements to break a table down into its date range buckets. Is this considered the "right" approach to the problem?
A simpler solution I've thought of is creating a folder for each date range (Invoices30, Invoices60, etc), and setting the condition of the folder to do the date filtering. The item "Invoice Amount" in each folder ends up being the bucket I want, and I would put them together in a complex folder, and build the report off the complex folder. Although inelegant and a bit redundant, would this solution work?
Thanks everybody!

Hi Newbie
You can do this right inside Discoverer using a couple of calculations.
Calc 1:
=====
Calculate the invoice date variance, let's say you will use TRUNC(SYSDATE) - TRUNC(INVOICE DATE). This gives you a number and let's call this new calculation VARIANCE.
Calc 2:
=====
This second calculation created the buckets themself. Let's do it using a CASE statement and we'll call the calculation TIME BUCKET.
CASE
WHEN VARIANCE <= 30 THEN "0 to 30"
WHEN VARIANCE <= 60 THEN "30 to 60"
WHEN VARIANCE <= 90 THEN "60 to 90"
ELSE "More than 90"
END
You now display only TIME BUCKET in your workbook. The other calculation, VARIANCE, will be used but not displayed on screen in the final answer.
If you don't like CASE, here's the same answer using DECODE:
DECODE(VARIANCE,
LEAST(VARIANCE,30), "0 to 30",
LEAST(VARIANCE,60), "30 to 60",
LEAST(VARIANCE,90), "60 to 90","More than 90")
By the way, when you do this you will find that Discoverer runs your report very fast. This is because it can handle these types of queries exceptionally well.
I hope this helps

Error when importing entire folder with many logs

Hi,
I came across an error when trying to import an entire folder containing 118 logs (total size 63 MB), created by and imported to Signal Express 2012 (version 6.0.0).
After about 80 of them have been imported without problem the error, shown in the attached file, is displayed.
The remaining log files can be opened one by one after SE have been restarted so there are apparently no problems with the files.
My path to the folder containing the log files are 81 characters long. I also tried a shorter path with only 9 characters but it didn't help.
Seems like it's a bug in SE. Is there a workaround?
Regards
Jocke

Hi JockeR,
The error message indicates that at least one TDMS file in your log folder was not generated by SignalExpress. SignalExpress 2012 can only import TDMS files generated by SignalExpress itself.
There is a utility on ni.com which can convert the non-SignalExpress TDMS into SignalExpress TDMS. Check it out here:

IPhoto imports photos with wrong dates even if the dates are fine on the camera

Hi!
When I import photos with iPhoto, sometimes it imports them with wrong dates, even the dates are fine on the camera. It puts dates such as 2032. Does anyone know how can I fix that. As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Thanks!

well that is very confusing since if the date is correct on the camera it will be correct in iPhoto
and as to
As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Try looking through your iPhto menus - two commands - adjust time and date and batch change time and date - asjust is used to correct incorrect dates like a comera setting - Batch change for missing dates like with scans

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.

How to create folder with sub folder ?

How to create folder with sub folder ?

Hi,
Questions. 17 / 17 unresolved -> very bad reputation
but ok - let's help anyway ...
1. create everything in Screen Painter
2. set FromPane and ToPane property correct.
example:
Items in MainFolder: FromPane & ToPane: 1 to 3
Items in SubFolderA (From 2 To 2) - SubFolderB (From 3 To 3)
shouldn't be that difficult
in your Code set oForm.PaneLevel when the user clicks on the Folder

When I create a reminder the date/time will not stay attached to the reminder. It initially sets then drops off. Any ideas?

Sounds like we have a similar problem. Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine. Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black. I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there. However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do. The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died. The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either. Took to Verizon, they couldn't help. Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues! One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone. Just wouldn't work at all. Did everything suggest and still not good. Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days. Very strange, and all on the 5C. What did you do? Is it working now?

P2 ingested footage with wrong date created metadata

Hello, we're trying to standarize all of the media for our systems. Part of this includes ingesting P2 footage using Prelude and encoding it as DVCHDPro quicktime files. I know that the recommended method that adobe gives for ingesting P2 footage is to keep the file structure in tact and use the media browser function of Premiere; this, however, doesn't suit our company's needs of maintaining a relativaly NLE-agnostic media library and having quicktime compatiable discrete video clips of all our media. We're using Mac OSX operating systems, by the way.
The problem is that, when using Prelude to ingest, it seems that Prelude obliterates the "date created" metadata and file data (e.g. when selecting the "get info" on the clip itself; that file data). After ingesting a clip, if I open it in Premiere, there is no date-based metadata that matches the original record time on the .mxf file itself. Nor when I view the clip in OSX's "get info" does the "date created" panel reflect the date that the original file was created. It seems that it should be possible to write the original "date created" data to the ingested file (in the ingest panel in Prelude I can see the correct "date created" time); FCPX is able to do this when ingesting P2 media using their systems. Is there an option that I'm missing or is this simply not possible with this version of Prelude?
To illustrate: here's a screencap of the ingest panel in prelude, notice the "date created" column reads 2013-06-28T11:43:05; which is the correct record date of that clip:
However, after I ingest the clip, both within Premiere and the "get info" panel in OSX, the "date created" now refers only to my import time:

Thanks both for your responses. I checked the .mxf file "date created" and it is indeed empty (see picture).
The "date modified time" however, is correct. I do understand that when dragging media directly from the media browser in premiere that the metadata displays correctly; what I think should also happen is that when the footage is ingested and transcoded via Prelude, it should also display correct metadata. As shown in my pictures above, prelude does indeed see the correct "date created" (wherever it gets that information); it just obliterates it after it transcodes the clip; it's not available either in the "get info data" (which, somehow, FCPX does do when importing P2 media through their system) nor (most strangely) in premiere. Any settings or changes that could be made to address this would be appreciated.

Error ORA-01426: numeric overflow when Creating table with double data type

Hi,
I am using ODP.NET to create a table with data from SQL to Oracle. The problem is with double data type fields that is equivalent to FLOAT(49) in Oracle. My syntax is:

Any way to rename files when importing from camera with iPhoto?

I have a naming scheme that I've used when importing photos from my camera (e.g. 2008-09-12-Event ). I can't create a custom folder (in Pictures but outside iPhoto Library) or rename things when importing with iPhoto - is that right? I can't find any advanced options to import ...
If I want this (and don't want to use Adobe Bridge CS3), do I have to get Aperture?
Thanks -
Alexa
p.s. I haven't really figured out WHERE my photos go with iPhoto? I've been editing in Photoshop Elements 6 but then have to "Save As" to replace the file - saving it doesn't do it (I think that sends it to the iPhoto library somewhere?) Eek...

Alexa:
You might consider this workflow:
1 - using either Image Capture or a card reader upload the images to a folder on the desktop.
2 - name the folder with a brief description of the shoot. I use a short date and description: 08/01/08-Dinner at Toad Hall
3 - use a file renaming application like Resize! to batch rename the files to your specification. I use the international date (for the capture date) and a brief description: 2008-08-01-Dinner at TH-001.jpg.
This allows for good chronological searching and sorting as well as text searching on the description. It also avoids duplicate file name issues in the future. Granted a few extra steps up front but saves me a lot of time later on.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

OWB Can't Import Existing Package with Collection Data Type as Arguments

I created a package and compiled it successfully as the follows:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PACKAGE_TEST AS
TYPE Num_LIST IS TABLE of NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
FUNCTION TEST_FUNCTION1 ( arg1 NUMBER, arg2 NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER;
FUNCTION TEST_FUNCTION2 ( args NUM_LIST) RETURN NUMBER;
END PACKAGE_TEST;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY PACKAGE_TEST AS
FUNCTION TEST_FUNCTION1 ( arg1 NUMBER, arg2 NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
ln_sum NUMBER;
BEGIN
ln_sum := arg1 + arg2;
     RETURN ln_sum;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN -10000;
END TEST_FUNCTION1;
FUNCTION TEST_FUNCTION2 ( args NUM_LIST) RETURN NUMBER IS
     ln_sum NUMBER;
BEGIN
ln_sum :=0;
     FOR i IN 1.. args.COUNT LOOP
     ln_sum := ln_sum + args( i );
     END LOOP;
     RETURN ln_sum;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN -10000;
END TEST_FUNCTION2;
END PACKAGE_TEST;
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Then I tried to import the package into OWB (9.2). The problem came: all the package body and
the specification of TEST_FUNCTION1 were imported, but the package specification of
TEST_FUNCTION2 couldn't be imported. The IMPORT FILTER gave an error message:
"TEST_FUNCTION2: Argument Data type is not supported".
How to resolve this problem? It is very import for our project, since we have to import some
packages with user_defined collection data types as arguments.
Thank you.
Lushu

Hi Lushu,
Unfortunately this is indeed not supported and I would not know how to work around this one. The only way I guess that this would work is to not import it, and then use Expressions to call the function with inputs.

I have multiple itunes libraries in my itunes folder with different dates. how did this happen?

im trying to figure out why songs randomly disappear from my actual itunes. when i check the itunes folder on the drive, there are several versions with different dates. I didnt intentionally create these multiple libraries and i dont know how to open them to look for missing music
