Camera date was wrong when I shot the pictures, so it inputted wrong in iPhoto - help me fix it?

Okay, first the basics: I'm using iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5) - I know it's old as time but I'm always meaning to switch to Aperture so I keep not getting around to an upgrade My camera is a Nikon D5000.
Second, the problem: earlier this year I took my camera in for service. Since when I got it back (months later) it still had the same problem I'd handed it in for (and that had been the second time already), I had to get lawyers involved and all kinds of similar unpleasantness, so by the time they returned it supposedly fixed for good, I felt weary/disappointed enough by the entire experience that I just wanted to put it all behind me and start using the camera again. Except that as it turns out, the service center had left me with a nasty, sneaky little parting gift: they'd changed the date of the unit to about two years ago! (or maybe just failed to change it back if they reset the system or whatever).
Still unaware of this problem, and with no reason to suspect anything hinky since nothing like that'd ever happened before (not just with the Nikon's previous service session, but really with any service job on any device), I imported the shots to iPhoto.
Except when I went to look at them in my Events tab, they weren't at the bottom like I expected them to be! After a good deal of panicked searching, manually, through several thousand images (made even more stressful by the fact I'd already hit Delete Originals in complete confidence) I finally found them logged as having been taken in March and April of 2009 (instead of August-Sept '11). That's a huge problem for me, because by far the best way for me to get my hands on the photo or event I want, without having to put in loads of effort to tag everything, is the chronological thing.
So I was hoping there might be a way for me to change the date of those events to the correct ones.  I don't mind a convoluted round-about solution, but if it has too much under-the-hood stuff, I'll need very clear and detailed instructions to pull it off because I'm clueless about that. I would also prefer not to have to download any more software, but if it's the only way or even just the best way by some distance, I'll do that
Thanks!

To elaborate a bit on Terence Devlin's excellent advice:
Select the images with the wrong date, then go to the menu
     Photos -> Adjust Date and Time
and set the "Adjusted" Date to the correct date of the first image. All other images will have their date shifted by same offset. If you check the "Modify original files" button, then also the original files will have their date corrected, not only the current versions.

    I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem.  All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera.  Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library.  Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that.  To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
    I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it.  I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
    When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing  with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth.  This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it.  If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly).  How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
    Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

  • Call failed. Error: An unexpected 'PrimitiveValue' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'StartObject' node was expected.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to add a new task to a Tasks list called CATasks. The list was created via Visual Studio “Add > New Item > List” process and not by custom code. The code I am using to add a task is shown below.
    What I have noticed is if I use my code to add a Task to a Task List created by Visual studio “Add > New Item > List” process, I get an error. Error message when adding an item:
    Call failed. Error: An unexpected 'PrimitiveValue' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'StartObject' node was expected.
    But if I create the same list using custom code I don't get an error.
    Am I missing something in my custom code or is this a bug?
    I hope you can help.

  • How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player?

    How do I create a DVD with no theme, i.e., it plays what was recorded when inserted in the player?  Nothing extra, just the recorded content.

    Hi
    No Menu on DVD
    from. Mishmunken
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
    1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
    Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
    Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
    Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
    Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

  • My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot.  Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket.  How can this be happening?

    My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot.  Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket.  How can this be happening?

    Protective cover as in screen protector?  This would have nothing to do with the silent switch.
    If you're referring to an actual case though... take the case off and see if the problem continues.
    It may be as simple as the silent switch being lose, which will require a device replacement to resolve.

    How to solve this problem that I have

    i've had a few issues like this.
    I've found that it is an issue with items that are already on your phone.
    several troubleshoots. 
    1) uncheck everything from syncing (apps, music, tv shows, movies, podcasts, etc), try to perform a sync, it most likely will work.  Then, sync after checking each item individually (check the sync box for videos, then sync, check the sync box for podcasts, then sync, check the sync box for music, then sync, etc).  One of two things will happen, 1) you will fix the problem, or 2) you will identify exactly what part of the sync setup is the culprit.
    2) if the above doesn't work, I've found that it is likely an issue with files that are on your phone but your phone doesn't exaclty recognize (for example, I had copies of music on my phone that didn't show up in the music app, I went in on itunes and manually deleted those songs from my phone and that fixed the sync).  to do this, check the "manually manage music and videos" box at the bottom of "summary" while your phone is connected to itunes.  Then, go to the left hand pane in itunes and find your iphone device, click the drop-down arrow that shows all the categories for media on your iphone.  Go to the music category in your iphone on itunes and delete all the music that shows up.  Try to perform a sync - it likely will work.  After this, you can uncheck the manually manage music box and re-sync your phone as normal
    let me know if either works
