Backing up iphoto dates are different than original photos

I called apple about this but I find his answer hard to believe. I've exported some photos onto a folder on my desktop so I can burn a DVD to be used in a windows machine. I have young children so the date the photo was taken is extremely important to me. When clicking on a photo that I've exported and "getting info" on it, it shows the date created is about 4 days later than the date the photo is actually taken. iphoto displays the correct date, why should it change on an export? I tried exporting using filename, then tried using "title" etc and it didn't change. The answer I got from apple is that I would have to individually rename all 4000 photos with the date in the file name in order to maintain the correct dates.

The date doesn‘t change on export, the application reading the date does.
iPhoto (and any serious photo app) gets its date info from the EXIF data that your camera writes to the shot. This is the photographic metadata.
The Finder isn’t a photo app, it’s a file organiser. It doesn’t read the Exif, it reads the file data, which is not the same thing.
There are apps that will rename the files fro you, based on the Exif. Here’s one:

Iphoto data folder different than originals and modified

Some of the thumbnails in my Iphoto library have no picture file linked to them.
I played with some pictures which were brought onto my computer from a camera with the time poorly set up. In doing so, some of the pictures in the data folder cannot be found in Iphoto. They are all there when I search through the originals and modified folders. It seems I may be able to replace contents of the data folder with contents from the orig/mod folders, seeing as all of the data is on an external drive.
I routed Iphoto to use the backed up library as its source. All seems well, except for the folder issue. Is there and easy solution?

I moved a bunch of folders around to open up space on my meager 80g HD Macbook so I could up grade to SL and not risk loosing any data. I moved the iphoto library to the external HD. I may have updated a previous back up and not changed the Data folder in the process. I think I updated the original and modified folders only into the HD's previous iphoto backup. The only folders I moved out of the original Iphoto folder in "pictures" were the modified and original folders because they were the largest files. The data folder and all others remain unchanged.
Once SL was up and running smoothly, I opened Iphoto with the option button pressed and chose the program to read the pics from the Iphoto library on the external drive.
Interestinly, When I did the same thing with my Itunes library it took about 20 minutes to load the library, in contrast, Iphoto was instant. Like it was reading the data folder within the computers HD and searching for the picture in the external. Movie clips seem to not be working at all. They don't seem to open QT automatically, or even work when it's open.

Hi Shawn,
It sounds like the person who installed the hardware didn't install the software properly for you. You should reinstall this to get full functionality and control yourself.
The process is easy:
) With the computer on, close all programs that are running and put the Creative CD-ROM into your computer's CD or DVD dri've. There are probably several disks; the one that you want should say 'Intallation and Applications CD' on the label.
2) The Setup program should start automatically in a few moments, but if nothing happens, click your Start menu and choose Run..., then click the Browse button. From the 'Look In' drop-down menu, choose your CD/DVD dri've. In the list of files that appears, choose the one called Setup or Setup.exe.
3) The Setup program will let you choose what to install. Choose to install everything. There might be two separate Setup processes that start after this: one for the soundcard's drivers, and one for the Creative MediaSource software. Within each process, when you are given the choice of Full, Custom, or Basic, select Full in each case. Follow the instructions in the programs and they will guide you through the setup process.
IMPORTANT: you will likely be given the option to use digital output only to your speakers. Only select this if you have digital speakers, attached to the sondcard through only one digital cable. If your speakers are attached using several cables, you should use analog output.
4) Once all of the Setup programs are completed, they will probably have you restart your computer.
All of the above should have been done when the card was first installed, but it seems that whoever you paid to do the installation didn't bother with the software install.
After this is all done, you should be able to use all of your speakers. If you are still having trouble, you will be able to follow the instructions that you were given before on how to enable CMSS.
Good luck!

IPhoto can not find the original photo, does iPhoto copy the photo or just make a thumbnail?

Hi,
I'm scanning and putting all of my (paper) photos into my computer and then into iPhoto, tagging them, and doing all the time consuming things necessary to build a good library.
I've tried to open a few of the events and look at the photos I put in but I get an error that iPhoto can not find the original photo. When I put a photo into iPhoto does the program only make a thumbnail copy with a link to the original, or does it actually copy the photo into the library? I'm thinking the former. Because I have a Time Machine backup, a hard copy, and (presumably) a copy in iPhoto, I have been deleting the photos AFTER putting them into iPhoto. Do I need to keep the photos I put in iPhoto on my computer? Will I need to go into TM and restore them? Will I loose the information like Faces, Places, Keywords, if I do?
Thank you much,
I'm working with 9.1.2

I have exactly the same problem except my photo is named "L1000093.jpg" and it's been there for a year now, but suddenly, when I wanted to view it in it's album, ("Favorite" which has been there for a year too), it says "The photo P1010311.jpg cannot be found"!!! What the heck is going on? So I canceled, went back to the album, clicked on L1000093, clicked "show event", went over to Event, clicked "reveal in finder" and there it is, iPhoto Library/Master/blah blah blah... L1000093.jpg!
Where the hack did that P1010311.jpg came from? Sure I have that photo, but it's in a completely different event and a different album! What's is iPhoto 11 / Lion / iTunes 10.5.3(3) up to?
So I threw L1000093jpg into the trash, went into Lightroom, find the original, re-export it, load it again into iPhoto, added it again to the album (favorite), and guess what? I just did all those and the same "The bloody photo cannot be found" message popped up and when I go to finder, there it is.
This is a bug. It's been a bug since 2006 as far as I can remember. And Apple had never done a complete fix. It's an if thing!
And the most frustrating part: Althought they call this an Apple forum and you have to sign in to participate, I have never seen one Apple software guy here saying "this is what to do", just us victims helping each other and many non-Apple folks guessing to the best of their ability to comfort us.
Oh, toys are toys. I sometimes wonder if Steve had fought so hard yet the cancer in Apple actually won!

When I burn dvd in iPhoto, it comes out with original photo plus separate close up photos of each face in original photo. How do I get it to stop doing that?

When I burn dvd in iPhoto, it comes out with original photo plus separate close up photos of each face in original photo. How do I get it to stop doing that?

I am reading this post in the iphoto for iOS forum. The iPad does not burn photos to a DVD. Perhaps you'll get some assistance if you posted in th general iPhoto forum.

Finder date and Iphoto date are very different in some photos

I run Iphoto 9.6 on OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 with an Imac 27" of mid 2010.
Some photos have wrong date in Iphoto while the right creation date of these photos are in the finder (exif dates are always correct).
Because, i have more than four thousand pictures with wrong dates, is there a way to fix that issue easily (by a script or a utility ?). I discover when there is a difference between those two dates, it's always a difference of + 6066 days and 11 hours ??? Like that, some photos appears to be done in 2045 ???
Some body came help me ?
Many thanks in avance,

Poelger,
thanks for your interest, please let me explain it better.
I have 2 data blocks. The 1st one is a single record, non-database block, where I input some parameters, and one of these parameters is a date field. This date field will be passed via PL/SQL inside the form to compose the search criteria.
:BLK_PARAMETER.date_field receives 02/02/2009 as typed by the user, being configured as a field which receives data in date format (dd/mm/yyyy). This date is used inside a form procedure called PRC_SEARCH_CRITERIA, which mounts a variable called p_where. Please consider the code below belongs to PRC_SEARCH_CRITERIA.
p_where := 'trunc (date_field) = ''' || :BLK_PARAMETER.date_field || '''';
set_block_property ('BLOCK_BEING_QUERIED', default_where, p_where);
I ran it on Oracle Debugger and I saw p_where being mounted as:
trunc (date_field) = '02-FEB-09'
And, when my form executes an execute_query instruction, it raises FRM-40505 error. I copied this p_where value and tried to run it in Oracle SQL Developer, where the error was the same. When I edited it on SQL Developer, changing this date to '02-FEV-09' (since "february" in english is "fevereiro" in portuguese), my query ran finely. So it seems to me that Oracle Forms and database aren't configured to use the same date format, maybe they're using different language date formats.
I need to understand this behavior and act so this should not happen again; now I solved this problem in other ways, but 1st of all I would like to understand it better, so I won't repeat it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Franklin

The image in iPhoto is different than the photo

when I select an image in iphoto the picture I click on is different than the one I chose

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your thumbnails - it may take a few attempts
LN

IPhoto thumbnails are blank, but maximized photo shows up.

I had to power of my iMac while iPhoto was uploading some photographs. When I turned it back on, iPhoto prompted me to restore the library. I said yes. Now the thumbnails aren't appearing, and when you double click a photo to maximize it, it briefly shows up with the grey yeild "!" icon and then the photo shows up, but the thumbnails are still grey. Is there a fix for this?

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #2, Rebuild Thumbnails. It could take more than one pass to get the job done.

IPhoto MobileMe 'item counts' are different than My Gallery on the Web

I have several albums I'm published from iPhoto to MobileMe.
In the past, if I added a picture or movie to a MobileMe album using
iPhoto, the 'item count' would increase by the appropriate amount.
Now, when I add one movie, for instance, the item count displays
'1', but it appears My Gallery on the Web still has all the movies.
Conversely, when I add photos, which is in another Album, the item
count increases accordingly.
Thanks,
Paul

Table Values in Preview Mode are Different Than in Development Mode

Any idea why the values in a table row would be different in Preview mode than in development mode? They are only different in 1 row. The values in this row refer to values in another part of the spreadsheet that are generated by formulas. They apprear fine in Xcelsius but change in the SWF.

Hi Tony,
Thank you for sending the files to me. Our QA testers noted that one problem with the spreadsheets is that the Chart is linked to cells in your spreadsheet that are protected. This will prohibit the Chart from accessing the data in those cells. Can you send me the files again, but with all cells unprotected?

IPhoto Folder Names Different Than Event Names?

Hello! I have used iPhoto since 2007, before Time Machine, and I back up all of my events as I upload them onto a zip drive. In the past, before Yosemite, when I would go into the iPhoto package contents, I would select the year (2014), and I could easily find the name of the event I just uploaded. I would then drag it to my zip drive.
Since the Yosemite upgrade, the iPhoto package content folders do not match my event names in iPhoto. Why is this? How can I make it so that the originals within the iPhoto package content folder again matches that of my iPhoto events? In the past, when I have made any changes within Finder, I have regretted it, so I don't think that is the solution. Just wondering why the event names and the folder names are not matching up any more, and if there is an easy fix to this.
Thank you in advance!!!

What you were doing was not supported and it changed about 6 years ago.
The supported way to do what you want is simply to export the originals from iPhoto to folders named for the Event. Takes the same time.
File -> Export and set the Kind to Original.

Aperture Library and iPhoto library are different sizes for the SAME images

Hi.
I'm a PROUD new Aperture owner (licensee) since last night. YIPPEE!!!
I imported my photos from iPhoto without a hitch. The same number of images, and I can access them all. Now, I know the two apps do different things, but I was expecting parity between the folders or Aperture's folder being heavier. It's MUCH less. Even with my previews. My iPhoto library is about 32GB and the Aperture library is about 9GB.
Is it because iPhoto is doing full size JPG previews of everything? That would add approximately 10GB, I think, but the size disparity is confusing me.
Any ideas what happened? Is all well?
Scott

You can choose to store your images IN (eg. copied) the aperture library, or as referenced masters (eg. you keep your own folder structure on a disk, and aperture only keeps the metadata and previews of it in the library). Main downside of referenced masters is that your images aren't backed up in the vault--you need your own backup strategy. Main upsides are that you can easily access your images in the finder, or with other apps, and that you can keep your images on another disk from your library. I have a Macbook Pro as my main computer, but my image library wouldn't fit on the internal drive, so I keep the Aperture library on the internal, and all my raw files on an external. I can access the previews for other purposes (mail, web, slide shows, etc.) when I'm away from my desk.
I have no idea why the iphoto library is so large--don't use iphoto much.

IPhoto library size smaller than original collection

I've seen several iphoto library size questions but nothing seems close to my own situation. If anything, it's mostly the other way around. Apologies if this has already been covered but I've searched long and hard!
I have my photo collection in two places- an iPhoto library and separately stored in a finder folder called "Photos". For backup purposes and in case anything goes wrong, I prefer to have them doubled up like this. My iPhoto library is 7.96GB when viewed in finder, whereas the folder "Photos" is 8.95GB. The same number of images are in both. Can anyone shed some light onto why this would be the case? There are no other items contained in either collection, movies etc., just the same amount of photos in various folders within folders. Surely the iPhoto library would be at least as big, if not bigger with thumbs, photos modified etc?

I would expect the iPhoto Library to be significantly bigger than the folder tree so something is not right.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
BTW: Storing the files in a folder tree and iPhoto on the same disk is a waste of space and not a back up. A back up needs to be on a separate disk, at least. The most common problems are disk issues. Such a set up offer no protection whatever from that.
