'Batch Change' question - Need to adjust month only...

Hi,
I've got a question about using Batch Change. A good portion of my photos have the right Day and Time, however they are one month off.
Is there any way that I can change only the month using Batch Change, or am I stuck?
Perhaps there is another way to change the month besides Batch Change?

you want the adjust time and date command - photos menu ==> adjust time and date

Batch Change Question

When doing Batch Change, I want to use my own custom lists (views). A lot of my normal views are grayed out. Can I create my own views, such as "All Exif" and then batch change the values in any of those fields?

Hi
If you make your selection as you suggest then make sure you click the 'Stamp selected images' button on the Lift and Stamp HUD you should find all selected images and not just the highlighted one have the adjustment applied. For some reason, for me at least, just trying to use the stamp tool on a selection results in only the highlighted image having the adjustment applied.
Hope this helps

Global Change to Convert date to month only

I am trying to group activities in a layout by month, and was going to manually add the start month to the UDF but am wondering if there is a formula I could use to run a global change to update that field as the schedule changes based on the start date. I'm wondering if there is any way I could do this. I know how to do it in excel, but don't want to have to export/import.
Thanks!

Have you tried changing you grouping and sorting to "Start Date" and changing the interval field to "Month". If I understand you correctly this should do exactly what you want without any UDFs

How to batch change year only?

I would like to batch change the year only (leaving all other metadata, to include day and time, the same. In a recent 5 day shoot I have discovered that my camera was set on 2013 rather than 2014. Is this possible? The date, to include year, does not seem to be an option under metadata batch change. If I select all the photos and then change the year, it seems that all of them will also be set to the exact same day and time. I am looking for an option other than changing the year on each one separately. Thanks!

What am I missing?
The small print! (in the dialog to change the date/time). It says: 'The original date and time of the primary selection is shown below. Adjust it to the correct time and all selected versions will be time-shifted accordingly".
What it means is based on the time difference you give it for the primary image, it will apply the same difference (time-shift) to all the others.

Batch change dates - question?

Can batch change (or some other app) change the date of the first pic in an event and then simply adjust ALL other pic dates by the 'change delta' you adjusted the first pic by? I just did a batch change and every pic in the event now has same date/time although the event spans several days. Seems like a 'no brainer' to me for a computer to apply this same delta to all pics - but I'm not a computer guy. Thanks in advance!

Yes what you want is adjust date and time - just above batch change in the photos menu -- select a group of photos and the entire group will be adjusted by the delta of the first one
You have the option of modifying the original which I usually recommend
Since you have already changed the dates and times on some of the photos you want to adjust you may need to go back to a backup of them prior to having their information changed - depends on if you modified the originals or not

I need to transfer up to 200 pages and keynote files from my macbook to my PC. Is there any way I can convert all of the files to word-friendly documents as a batch change or will I have to open each individual file and re-save it as word-friendly?

Adjust Date/Batch Change

Since upgrading to iPhoto 11 (9.2), I can no longer adjust the date on my photos. I had thousands of photos scanned in and I am trying to correct the date from the date scanned to the date taken (which I have on paper). I could always do this before with no problem. I could also Batch Change but that is grayed out along with Adust Date and Time. I've clicked everything I could think of but no success. Ideas? Maybe a Windows solution!

Thank you! Apple and I have a different definition of "selected". I consider a picture opened large (like when naming faces) to be "selected". iPhoto does not agree with me! (iPhoto wins!)

I want to change my iCloud account. Buying iPad we gave a virtual (forwarding) email addr. We need to change to a real address. But when we try to change the iCloud account, we can only change the password. Note: we don't have Mac, only iPad and Windows.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
(You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-)

Batch changes don't function. Apt 3.2. From simple commands like "rotate clockwise" to "lift and stamp" the command only affects to the last image in the group selected. Similar problems? Solutions?

Glad it helped. Everyone has been bitten by this at one time or another. Fortunately you only get bit once
Well if you haven't already read it two or three times the User manual is really very good. Apple really did a nice job with it. The on-line version is nice because it is searchable.
After that the Apple Pro Training Series book Aperture 3 is very useful. Its basically split into three parts. The library, adjustments and sharing. In addition if you get all the way through it you can take the Certification test and become, well certified.
Rwboyer who posts here on and off has a good site and a couple of ebooks that I found useful.
good luck

Batch change time only, not dates

I have imported photos from my cell phone and have discovered that the date stamp on all of them is exactly 7 hrs fast, even though the cell phone itself displays the correct time.
How can I change the time by exactly 7 hours on all of these imported photos (of which there are hundreds), other than one at a time? I see with batch change that you have to change to the same date and time on all your selected photos.
Thanks.
Barb

It will work. Select the pics and use the Hour column to add seven hours. The date will only change adding the seven hours will push the photo past midnight.
So, a photo tagged at 7 am on January 1 will be time shifted to 2pm on January 1
A photo tagged at midday in January 3 will be time shifted to 7pm on January 3
A photo tagged at 8 pm on January 4 will be time shifted to 3 am on January 5
Back up before you try this. If it doesn't work, restore your back up.

I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter. She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters. Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

There is no way for the keyboard itself to display only lower case letters. It doesn't display lower case letters at all for that matter.
When you are using the keyboard - The other issue that you will have is with the shift key. Even with auto caps turned off you can still type capital letters if you tap the shift key and if you double tap it by mistake - it will turn into all capital letters so also turn off Caps Lock in the keyboard settings.
Other than that, there is no way to ensure that you can type in lower case.
Maybe an external bluetooth keyboard would be a better solution but I don't use one, and I have never even seen one in person so someone else will have to verify that for you.

Need help adjusting colors in Photoshop (CS2)

I'm not a neither a novice nor a pro when it comes to Photoshop. (Just somewhere in-between) . . . So don't understand why I''m suddenly having problems with colors in my photos looking accurate on my canera, but almsot completely red and yellow in Photoshop. Initially though the camera was at fault, until I switched cameras and still had the same problem, so figured itmust be Photoshop.
Since Photoshop CS2 has all the features I need, I've never bothered to upgrade. . . which turned out to be a problem when I tried to follow the instructions for creating new adjustment layers. (Was OK until I reached the last step, when my menus were different than those in the guide.) Have spent most of the last 2 days trying to manipulate all the options under the Image Adjustment menu, but am running our of patience and luck.
The problem seems to have been increasing in recent weeks (or months), but this is the first time I've been absolutely stumped and unable to come up with a usable solution.

Thanks. But it looks like in all my frustration, I wasn't sure my original call for help had posted, so must have submitted the same question again.
But I just had a new thought on the problem. While reviewing a story I received from another website, I noticed that the photos attached to the article looked a lot like what I described in my message. It made me wonder if I have a software problem at all . . . or if it's the screen on my Mac that needs recalibration!
It only took 2 minutes to find a website that discussed it — with sample screens to help determine if that was what I'm dealing with. Since a screen supposedly showing a mix of numbered, grey boxes looked totally white to me and I could only see the white numbers on a screen that supposedly contained boxes in varying shades of black, I think I might be on the right track. Just not sure, since I had to reach the bottom of the page before spotting the pitch for a product that supposedly will recalibrate for me. I'm not sure I want to tackle recalibration on my own, but may call the Mac Geniuses at our local mall and see if my hunch is right . . .and if so, what they would charge to do it for me.
BTW, if it sounds like a calibration problem, do you think moving my computer from one desk top another (just 5 feet away) could have caused it? I'm not sure, since it wasn't on my mind at the time, but I think that's roughly when I first started to notice discrepancies in color.

Batch changing Word docs to Pages

I've been using Word for years, now converting to Pages. In searching for a way to quickly convert all my documents to Pages, I've read posts here and found only advice for handling things one at a time -- though I may have missed a post. But I have found a possible answer, yet not sure of the consequences, so please advise. If you
1. Click on a document and click on "more info"
2. Open with option - select Pages. Just below this line are the words, "Use this application to open all documents like this, and the option button, "Change All..."
So I pick an unimportant file and do this, and receive the message after pressing "Change All":
"Are you sure you want to change all your Microsoft Word documents to open with the application 'Pages'? This change will apply to all Microsoft Word documents with type W8BN."
One, I don't have any clue what documents will be included because of the "W8BN," because this is a designation I've never heard of, don't know how it is assigned. It is very specific to whether the document is all text, or who authored it, or does it literally refer to all current Word documents made with the version of Word I have (Microsoft Word X)?
Until I know this, and the consequences of pressing "Change All," I won't do this. But if this is a truly simple and non-destructive way to batch change, how wonderful!
To further complicate matters, I need this question answered for Leopard AND Tiger, as my husband is one and I am on the other....
Thanks in advance,
Tonia

Yvan,
I have downloaded your ForPages:batchWord2Pages.zip to try and convert a group of Word files to Pages. As the script asks, I have saved it as an application bundle. When I drop a folder (or a group of files) onto the saved application bundle Pages opens but then my system gets stuck in a loop. The computer makes a rapid 'bonging' noise (the sort it makes if you click a button by mistake) and then nothing else will work. I cannot force quit anything or use activity monitor to close any tasks. All I can do is hold the power switch to make the computer switch off.
I have tried this on both my iMac & Mac Book Pro. Both run 10.5.2 and Pages 3.0.2. The same thing happens on both machines.
Is there something else I need to set in the script before I save it as an application bundle?
Thanks for any help you can provide
Darran West
