Batch Change Photos' Date - Not Time

Is there a way to change a bunch of photos' date, but not the time?

Neil:
Not in iPhoto. Unfortunately you've go to change the time as well. If there are not too many of them you can do it this way.
1 - move all that you want to redate to the same date to a new roll.
2 - in the Finder copy the folder in the Original folder that represents the roll with the files to be redated to the desktop.
3 - using an application like PhotoInfo batch change the date to whatever you need. It can just add or subtract a specific number of days, months or years to the date as you see fit.
4 - change the name of the folder and import back into iPhoto.
5 - delete the original roll of photos with the incorrect date.
That's about it. It's not too convoluted and can be done. This way the new date will be embedded in the file and stay with it if needed in a new library or other application.

  • Batch change photo dates in Photos for 10.10.3?

    If anyone has access to the 10.10.3 beta or has managed to use Photos at all, does it still allow you to batch change photo dates like iPhoto used to? Thanks!

    Interesting. I would have thought that the moratorium lifted on press releases and reviews of Photos by a number of tech websites would have applied here as well. I had a little look at the Terms of Use on this website and didn't see any prohibitions on speaking about upcoming products, but perhaps I've missed something. Are those participating in the Developer Preview disallowed from speaking about Photos if major press outlets are not?
    Apple does not and cannot control major press outlets.
    However, they do control their own products and beta releases are subject to an NDA.

  • Changing the Date and Time of photos

    Hello,
    i have been importing images from my windows machine and want all the dates to be correct, i have seen the adjust date and time, and made the changes but under the events the dates dont change and when i click individual photos the dates and times are not changing.
    so i was wondering how do i change the time for each photo and event? can i change the time to a start and finish date rather than just one date?
    Any help with the above would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have just looked at this again, i dont see an option to set both a start and end date, any ideas?
    That is not an an option - and it makes no sense
    You can do one of three things:
    1 - add a constant delta to all selected photos thereby correcting an incorrect setting on a camera and preserving the sequence and integrity of the photos dates ad times
    2 - change the date and time for all selected photos to a specific value
    3 - change the date and time for all selected photos to a base value plus an increment for each successive photo.
    There are two choices under the photos menu
    1 - adjust date and time - this adds a constant Delta to the selected photos - is is designed for correcting camera times or time zones but keeping the basic sequence
    2 - batch change date and time - this simply changes the date & time to your selected value with an option to add an increment to each
    Both have an option to modify the original photo which I do (I'm not sure why you would not want to modify the original)
    And when i go into photos, the ones that i have altered by +Photos >>> Adjust Date and Time+ still have different times and dates, any ideas?
    AS described in the iPhoto help and above
    1 - adjust date and time - this adds a constant Delta to the selected photos - is is designed for correcting camera times or time zones but keeping the basic sequence
    So after adjusting time and date all photos selected will have the time and date changed by the same amount (a constant delta) and if they were all different before they will still all be different - if they were all the same before adjustment they will still all be the same but at a different value

  • Change the date and time of a photo in iPhoto?

    How can I change the date and time of a photo in iPhoto?

    Use either the Adjust time and date command or batch change time and date command
    Adjust is to fix incorrect times like wrong camera settings - batch change is to record a totally new time and date - typically for scanned photos
    Select the photo(s) and use the appropriate command for your needs

    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Don't have proper privilege to change the date and time. Group Policy does not work

    Hello All,
    I have configure group policy to change date and time only administrator. The problem is Windows XP machine cannot view the calendar but windows 7 can. So i need to view the calender for windows XP machine.
    Error: you do not have proper privilege to change the date and time.  
    Please suggest.
    Thanks

    Hi Parvez,
    Before going further:
    I applied a VM Windows XP pro. When I logged in as a local admin, I can view the calendar from the right corner of desktop or from control
    panel. However, when I logged in as a normal user account, I received the same message as yours.
    For now:
    I know this is not what you want. However, for normal users to view calendar, we can consider to give
    Change System Time permissions to these users.
    In addition, regarding this topic, the following article and thread can be referred to for more information.
    You cannot set the date, time, or time zone on your computer

  • How to batch change a date in aperture

    Is it possible to batch change a date in aperture the way I do it in iphoto (command option B)?  I dont want relative dates, I want a group of scanned pictures (negatives) to have the same date, but separated by one second.

    Dale,
    Aperture does not support this. I wrote a little Apple Script to adjust the data and time like iPhoto and posted it on my web page. You may have a look and take this as a starting point. I wrote the script last year; so it has only been tested with Aperture 3.2.4 and Lion, not with the current version: The script is here: Adjust Date and Time in fixed increments
    But no guarantees given for the current Aperture version 3.4.3.

  • Batch change the date

    You can batch change the time zone, and you can change the date and time, but can you batch change the date on photos? I would like to change the date on a number of images to a certain date, but I don't want to have to change the date on each one manually one by one.

    Your answer solved the issue, but left me perplexed about something else. For the sake of example, I am going to be talking about scanned images here. Now, this may be a totally moot point, because scanned images may behave differently than regular images from a camera regarding date and time. I have changed all of the scans so that the dates are all the same day. This is the day that I scanned the images. However, when I view the project in the Projects browser, the date shows a range from well before the date I set to well after it. This seems very odd to me, because none of the scanned images in the project have the dates shown in the projects browser. Do you know anything about this?

  • Changing Photo Dates

    Have what could be a simple question. Using iPhoto 6 and really like it, with a couple reservations. What I would like to knw is how to change the dates on photos. Specifically, I am converting some old slide photos and am using iPhoto to organize and edit. Many of the slides are from the 60s or 70's or 80s or 90s but when putting them in iPhoto from my scanner, it shows todays date. I can change the date individually to the approriate year, but I would like to know how to select multiple photos and change a group to a specific year. That's all I need! Thanks in advance!

    Tully:
    With scanned images iPhoto will use the created or modified date. There are 3rd party application what will batch change that date but iPhoto won't recognize it unless they are reimported into the library. As Terrance pointed out you can batch re-title them with a date but that's only for iPhoto's use. The actual file names will not be changed and you don't want to do it from the Finder: Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.

  • How do you change the date and time format in Pages

    I've tried changing the date and time format a number of times for Pages but it does not change.  I'm going to the System Preferences/Language and Text and Formats.  I make the changes click on OK and go back to Pages.  NO change.

    Hi Uncle,
    Page 116 of the Pages'09 User Guide: Control Click the date, Edit Date and Time.
    Date and time can also be in a table. Format the table cell.
    The User Guide is well worth a read. Download it from the Help menu in Pages.

  • Can't change the date and time

    On a recent trip abroad, my N96 automatically switched to the local time on arrival, but it failed to switch back to UK time when I returned. Now my phone is stuck 3 hours ahead, and it won't let me change the date or time manually. When I select Settings | General | Date and time, and click Open, 'Change' flashes up briefly, but even if I'm fast enough to click it, nothing happens.
    I've tried reverting to the Factory Settings, but that did not resolve the problem. I've also checked for Firmware updates, but there aren't any. Any suggestions for fixing this would be very welcome...

    Your operator doesn't seem to support time autoupdate while the operator you connected to while abroad does.
    Go into the clock settings and set auto time update to "off". Then set the time zone to "GMT 0:00 London". This should bring the clock's time back to what it should be. If it doesn't, at least you can do so manually now (having auto time update set to "on" removes your ability to set the date and time manually).

  • Apple Remote Desktop - how to change the date and time server ip address?

    Our imacs keep getting out of synch with our Windows Active Directory server and when they do, users can no longer log into the imacs. The imacs this morning were more than 5 minutes fast, for example.
    So, we have changed the date and time server on one of our imacs to our internal time server and that works fine. Now I would like to update all of the other imacs using a unix command in ARD. Can anyone tell me how to send this change? For this message, let's say our internal time server is 172.30.100.100

    Not a problem. There are a number of other system and network setup commands that you might find useful at some time. From within the Remote Desktop Admin in the Send Unix Command window type:
    networksetup -help
    systemsetup -help
    That will give you lists of the commands, including the one I posted above, with their basic syntax. They're handy to know.
    Cheers.

  • Is is possible to batch change photos to original date?

    I'm amazed at how mixed up my photo lib is (I'd really like it to be chronological) due to edits and other mysteries. Is there a way to batch change a bunch of photos (I have 11,000 - how many should be in a "batch"?) to revert back to original date taken??? Thanks for any help! Donna

    Do Not use Shootshifter on photos already in the iPhoto Library. This will rename the files and that will damage your Library. Every file renamed will be lost to iPhoto.
    Instead, try an experiment:
    Export a few of the files from iPhoto and use Graphic Coverter (you can download a Free Trial) to examine them. See what it tells you is the date of the photo. This will tell us if the problem is with the pic or iPhoto.

  • My laptop died last night and the date and time was set for 1/1/2000. I went to change the date and time and cannot. For some reason when i pull up system preferences it will not load date and time but will load other stuff. Please help.

    Last night my laptop died and the time and date was reset. I cannot acess date and time preferences to change it and my laptop is acting really weird. My CD drive is broken so there are no options to put in a cd. Please someone help i need my laptop for school and cannot afford another.

    Many system actions will misbehave, given an inaccurate date. Resetting the NVRAM and / or SMC will not fix it, and if the system has a preposterous date you may not be able to open System Preferences to correct it. This dilemma may or may not be addressed in a future OS X update.
    If you cannot open System Preferences you can reset your system date and time using Terminal.
    Please read everything that follows before proceeding. Write them down if necessary because the effects of setting a preposterous system date are unpredictable.
    Quit System Preferences, force quit if necessary: OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    Open Terminal - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find Terminal by using the Finder's Go menu and choosing Utilities, then double-click the Terminal icon.
    At the prompt, you will be typing a command resembling the following:
    sudo date mmddhhnnyyyy
    ... but you must substitute the actual date and time in the command that corresponds to the date format used for your location. In other words if your custom is to use a date like 8 February 2014 then reverse the mm and dd values.
    Substitute numerals in the above command according to the following:
    mm = month
    dd = date
    hh = hour (24 hour format)
    nn = minutes past the hour
    yyyy = year
    Each of those values must be two digits except for the year which can be two or four digits. As an example if the current date and time is February 8, 2014 at 9 PM your command will be the following:
    sudo date 020821002014
    or
    sudo date 0208210014
    Either one will work. If you enter nonsensical values the system will attempt to parse the entry correctly.
    To recover from your inability to use System Preferences to set the date and time, the value entered does not have to be precise, it just has to be approximate.
    Enter that command using the actual time and date for your location and in the appropriate format, then press the Return key. Terminal will ask for your Admin Password - the same one you use when you log in to your Mac. Type it and then press the Return key. What you type will not appear, not even with •••• characters.
    To determine if your change was effective just type the date command and press the Return key. Terminal will reply with the date and time. If it appears correct and in the correct format, you should be able to open System Preferences > Date & Time once again. Selecting the "Set time and date automatically" and choosing an appropriate time server will adjust your Mac's system clock to the precise time.
