Wrong Date on E-Mails

My friend has the original version of the MacBook Air. Whenever she sends me an e-mail (she uses gmail) the date of her email is off by 10 years. She sent me one today and it was dated January 17, 2001.
Any idea what could be wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Thanks for responding. She sends her mail from her gmail account on a Firefox browser. I receive mail on a gmail account on a chrome browser. Neither of uses Macmail.
Other people are getting the same thing but it probably does not annoy them as much.(I use conversation view and folders with gmail and her 10 year old dates make them almost impossible to find.)
I suspect it something to do with some communication between her computer clock, which she says has the right time, and the email program, and that maybe she needs to do some resetting.

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.
Thanks

Wrong date format by importing event from mail

When I try to create a new event in ical through a date in mail, it identifies the date in american format (MM/DD/YYYY) instead of the european format (DD/MM/YYYY)/
In the system prefs and in ical itself (when creating a stand-alone event) the format is correct. How can I import the date also through mail in the european format?

Time and dates of Recieved mail all wrong

I have pop3 accounts set up on my iPhone. Since the upgrade all the times and dates of received mail are out. For example, I have just Recieved an email sent by a friend just now. I get it straight away but in blue in states 'yesterday'! Yesterday was at least twenty hours ago.
All my time zones on my iPhone appear ok.
Any ideas please?
Tc

iPhone 3G appears at times to not be able to automatically determine the time from the provider, or to get the incorrect one from the provider. When this is the case, it appears to default to Cupertino time.
If your email times are displaying oddly (Cupertino time is the default), then do the following:
Settings>General>Date&Time>
Turn OFF 'Set Automatically'
Set the correct time zone by searching for/choosing a nearby city

Wrong Dates in Sent Folder

After doing a clean install of 10.5 and importing all of my mail messages from my .mac account, I noticed that many of the messages in my sent folder had the wrong date. Apparently they were marked with the date on which I first synchronized my 10.5 Mail with my .mac account. I've since tried to rebuild that folder, and when I do that, those problematic messages show up as sent "Today" at the time I rebuilt, even though many of them are nearly a year old. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? I've read several threads regarding problems with the sent folder, but none with this specific date problem.
Thanks.
One more thing...
All sent message show up with the correct date when I access the sent folder online through .mac.

I tried several experiments and noticed that if you move the messages in "sent messages" with wrong dates to another folder (for example to the "inbox") then they get back to their correct date.
Apparently rebuilding mail boxes at this point doesn't fix anything, as if you move the messages into "sent messages" again then the date gets wrong again.
Funny enough, when the message is back into "sent messages" and appears there with the wrong date, if you make a text search FROM THE INBOX on all folders in the search results these messages will appear as located in "sent messages" with THE RIGHT DATE!!! Doing the same search when you are in "sent messages" will show the message with the wrong date!!!
So I am now sure there is BIG BUG in Mail about this.
So unless Apple fix this, I guess the only way is to put all the messages from your "sent messages" with wrong dates in a folder where they appear with the correct date, save or export your "sent messages" folder messages, delete entirely your "sent messages" folder, and reload all you "sent messages" again.
However I have no safe procedure for this and it won't prevent the bug to reoccur later on...

Wrong date: January -- October

As a replacement for my old Eudora, I tried Mail app today. With my Intel Mini it works great. However, with my G4 Mini, new mails are dated January 2007 instead of October 2007. Messages are even recognized as from 'Today' while having January 2007 as the date. Because dates are OK on my other Mini, I guess this is not a server issue.
View > Message > Raw Source shows the right date: Mon, 8 Oct 2007 11:38:09 +0200.

1. Mail shows email from the future: received mail dated 27/10/2007. In Entourage the same mail is dated 27/01/2007. All other months are OK. Remember we use European date settings (dd/mm/yyyy). Therefore I guesed something goes wrong with the dateformat.
2. When I exported the mail form Entourage to .eml on my desktop the date in the mailheader showed 27/01/2007. So I figured the error occurs in Mail App. the same thing happened when I moved the mail directiy to my Imap folder in dotmac from inside Entrourage.
3. However looking in the source information of the mail it showed not the date of the mail header but an entirely different date. Therefore I concluded that the root of the error in not Mail App or Dotmac (allthough those could also be wrong...)
4. For exporting my mail from Outlook2007 to Entourage I used the tool O2M from Light Machines. Checking their help produced the following information:
"Entourage shows the wrong date for imported emails
This is an Entourage bug, but we created a workaround for it in O2M 1.02. If you're not sure which version of O2M you have, run O2M and check the version number in the program's title bar. If the version number doesn't say 1.02 or higher, download a new copy of O2M, install it over your old copy, and export your Outlook mail again — the date problem will be fixed when you import your newly exported mail into Entourage." and additionally:
"Mail shows the wrong date for imported emails
It may be your email has non-US date formats to begin with. If this is the case, you may want to change your date settings on both your Windows and Macintosh machines to US/English before performing your conversion and importing operations.
O2M converts US/English dates to the standard MBOX format. If the date in the header is formatted differently from the US/English version of Outlook, the dates may not convert well. We don't currently support date formats other than US/English."
5. Conclusion: I have to live with this as my XP machine is already used elsewhere.

When I add a meeting invitation to ical it enters on wrong date...help! It shows up as a random date and year, When I add a meeting invitation to ical it enters on wrong date.

I am running Mountian Lion on a new (8 months) MBPro 13". I recently started having iCal enter meeting invitations that I receive on the wrong dates! Not just a day or hour off...but a year or more! Of course at first I didn't even notice I would just click to accept and add the invite to the calendar and when I would return it was gone. If I do a "quick look" at the invitation from within the Mail it shows the correct time and date...but it I open it, it's totally ramdom what date it picks.

I am having a similar problem: invitations sent (presumably from outlook), when accepted from my iPad, appear in the calendar with the wrong time zone.
this actually happens even when the meeting is in the same time zone I'm in: I am in GMT -5, and even when the meeting is in GMT-5, it defaults to GMT (or, in some instances, PST). My settings have my time zone set correctly.
Any help much appreciated.
PS: Using iPad original wit iOS5

Apple-date-format for Mail Stationary

my date for my mail stationary is not updating as it used to since i have upgraded to Mavericks
this was my code before: (works only with Mountain Lion)
<span class="AppleStationeryDynamicElement" contenteditable="true" apple-content-type="date" apple-date-format="%b %1d, %Y">xxxxx</span>
this is my code now: (works only with Mavericks)
<span class="AppleStationeryDynamicElement" contenteditable="true" apple-content-type="date" apple-date-format="EEE, MMM d, ''yy"></span>
any one have idea what shuld i use for the date format that would work both Mountain Lion and Mavericks?
Thanks!

Steve,
I think that you may have the "wrong" choice in the Systems Preferences/International preference pane. If this is set to "United Kingdom" then Mail will generate iCal events with the correct date.
However, if (like me) you customise this in any way, OS X creates a "Custom" profile. This is no longer recognised by Mail as using UK date formats and the program then seems to default to choosing US dates. So, if you are willing to lose your customisation and switch back to the standard "United Kingdom" choices this should work.
It is just a shame that you can't have a UK date format, and some customisation of (for instance) the date/time display.

Downloads with Safari show wrong date

Hi, this is my first post and I'm stumped.
When I download a file (i.e. PDF) via Safari on either my Imac or Macbook (4.03 and 4.02) both running Leopard 10.5.7 it shows up in my downloads folder with the wrong date: wrong year, month, and day.
When I download the same file with Firefox the download date is correct.
Does anyone have any suggestions to remedy this annoying problem? Thanks.

Ok. I just downloaded a PDF via Safari that shows the creation date as: 23/12/08 1:10 AM.
Same file downloaded via Firefox shows date correctly: today at 9:16 PM.
The date from Safari has been all over the map... 03, 07, 00 etc. all different.

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

Report returns wrong data when run on server

Hi,
I'm runing CRS XI R2 on Windows Server 2003 SP2. When I refresh a report in the Crystal Reports XI Designer, I'm getting correct data. But when I schedule the report to run on the server it returns wrong data. The data is different from what I see when I refresh it from the designer. In the report I have running totals set up to count customers that meet a certain criteria. The report is very large. It take almost 2 hours to refresh.
I was wondering what is causing the difference in running total data between refreshing it on the designer and running it on the server. Is it returning wrong data b/c of it not reading all the records? Should I be making any changes to the server settings? I saw that under pageserver, there are options for setting the 'Minutes Before an Idle Report Job is Closed' and 'Database Records To Read When Previewing Or Refreshing a Report". Do either of those have anything to do with the report returning incorrect data when being scheduled to run on the server?
Thanks,
Kim

Hi Xuandao,
You would need to Use Cell Binding and Trigger concept to accomplish this.
Its simple, however, you would have to work on a trial and error basis to understand this concept as implementing the same is subject to your dashboard and WEBI Design.
Open you LiveOffice.
Insert your WEBI, Now, go to Object Properties of your WEBI, select the second tab that says Prompt, Here, it lists the prompts that you have for your WEBI. This would also enlist your BEx variables as well. Select this BEx variable and click on the button that says Prompt at the bottom of this window. Here, select choose Excel Data Range and click on the cell select button on the right (small button that lets you choose what cell you want to bind this prompt to), Now select a free cell that would not be even populated later on when you run the dashboard say A1 (remember the value that you select). Click on OK and again OK. The WEBI Refreshes and you can see all the prompt values at the cell A1. These are all the possible values stored for your BEx prompt variables (these values are fetched from BW system dynamically).
Now, save this LiveOffice, Go to you dashboard. Connect your dashboard to your Live office. Go to Data-> connections-> Now, select the WEBI and in the right hand pane go to Usage tab, here, Click on Trigger cell button on the right hand side and select A1 in you LiveOffice.
It should work fine.
Let me know.

Ical birthday calendar wrong dates

Hello,
I have an issue with iCal regarding the birthday calendar.
It works pretty fine syncing with address book, but it ads the birthday obviously twice. The birthday itself and the day before the birthday. When refering the URL in iCal it directs me to the Contact card of the person and there is only the correct date.
Why does iCal do that? And more important, how can I solve that problem and remove all the wrong dates? Because it is anoying to have birthday reminders for people twice. It also looks pretty dumm in the notification center of Mountain Lion. With two birthdays of the same person in a row. Mostly it has one year difference as well, so the same person turns lets say 29 the one day and 30 the other.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
I've just checked forward into 2014 and I see that it doesn't re-occur then.
Strange, it's just one person and it's only happening in 2013. Their birthday is on 31st March and there's and entry for 31st Mar and 1st April.
I'm not going to worry about it anymore.
