Camera is coding photo with incorrect date-how do I adjust?

My iPhone, as well as my MacBook are set to the correct date and time, but when I import photos from the phone, they are coded with a date 1 year in the future. (e.g. photos today are marked 12/31/08). Because of this, they are not showing up in the album Last 12 Months. How can I fix this? Thanks.

I encountered the same thing on photos I took New Year's Eve around 8 pm US Eastern time. And actually, it seems that they were not just one year, but also two hours advanced. However, photos I took BEFORE New Year's Eve were correctly dated.
I just took another photo to check it out. It came across completely right — 1/1/08 around 22:00 Eastern.
Was this the first time you had used the camera on your iPhone (maybe a Christmas present like mine)? If not, did photos from earlier dates import correctly?
You posted at 3:55 pm in what was presumably your local time. What is your time zone? Is it possible that you took your photos after midnight 1/1/08 in UTC/Greenwich time?
I fixed my photos by doing a batch date change in iPhoto. Click on "last import" or maybe an event that shows 2008 dates. Then hit command(Apple)-A to select all the photos. and then pull down the Photos menu and select "Adjust Date and Time...". You adjust using the date on the first photo, and iPhoto will apply the same time change to all.
Note to Apple: this is a nasty little issue, don't let it fester! Fix the iPhone's encoding of the operating system date and time on JPEG photo captures on these "cusp" dates.
Good luck,

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Synced photos showing incorrect date on iPhone

i have imported photos from my phone to iPhoto and noticed that some of the photos do not contained EXIF information when synced back to iPhone.
The date shown in the iPhone photo moment tab is the import date rather than the original date when the photos were taken.
(for example: the photo was taken in Dec 1, 2012, imported to iPhoto in Nov 1, 2014, and synced back to iPhone.
the date shown in iPhone is Nov 1, 2014, the date shown in iPhoto is Dec 1, 2012.)
When I am trying to view the photo in iPhoto, the date is correctly shown.
After further looking into the details of the photo, i have noticed that theses photos are taken with color filters or bursting photos or panoramas in iPhone.
(e.g a mono or fade filter choosed when taking photo in iPhone camera).
These resulted in a mess in the photo collection in my phone. Photos were displayed in wrong order.
iPhoto/itunes seems unable to sync photos that are taken with color filters/ panorama photos/ bursting photos with correct dates
is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you!

I am having a similar problem. When I re-synced, some of the pics were fixed, most were unchanged, however some pics which were fine are now distorted. BTW - it appears the pics are color negative. All were taken with the same camera.

I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

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

Organizing photos with no dates - what's best?

Hi, I'm new to Macs and iPhoto so please be patient! I have quite a lot of photos scanned from very old family photos, many of which I have no idea of the date when it was taken. iPhoto seems to want a date for every photograph - is there a way of labelling the date of a photo as unknown? Similarly is tehre a way of giving a photo a year without having to specify a day and month, as sometimes the only thing I know about a photo is the year.
How do other people go about organizing photos with this problem?
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Thanks,
Andy

About all you can do in changing the date for the photos in the Info pane is to select 1/1 as the day for the year you want to associate with the photo. Otherwise, as you've found out, iPhoto will put today's date with that year.
What I do is name the photo before importing with the international date format, YYYY-MM-DD-01.jpg, -02.jpg, etc. You can do it manually or if you have a group your can batch rename them sequentially with an application like "R-Name". You can find it by searching at VersionTracker.com. In your case you can just use the year and some other identifier, i.e. 2001-grandma.jpg, They can be sorted alphanumerically by year that way. You can also change the title in iPhoto, either singularly for by batch. This will change the title but not the file names. To get the file names the same as the title you must either rename before importing or after renaming in iPhoto export to the desktop using the "Use Title" option.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

IDoc with incorrect data is expected to fail but it does not

Hi All,
The Job CQM_CR_O_IF103_IN_INOVIS_ORDER3 got cancelled as result of a short dump. In the initial investigation we found that the IDoc 0000000012089824 had an incorrect information i.e. it had a material which did not
exist. The IDoc is expected to fail and give an error message but has not done so.
We also observed the IDoc does not fail when the incorrect materialhappens to be the last material in the IDoc.
The workaround was to fail the IDoc manually and then the subsequent jobs runs successfully.
Would like to know why the IDoc is not failing when it has incorrect
data.
Thanks & Regards,

Hello,
the idoc fails only if there is a hard error in the segment, means i.e. if there is a wrong transaction type or missing ... But I think that the system behavior is correct, because the idoc cannot fail because a product is "just" wrong. This is no hard error, you should then get an error in the transaction that i.e. the product does not exists. You can try to use badi CRMXIF_ORDER_MAP to check the products, but then please make sure that note 1644057 is implemented.

Importing old pictures with wrong date stamp. After adjusting date they are landing in the correct folder of referenced masters.

I was thrilled to learn that with Aperture I could have one big library and using referenced masters, I can organize the pictures by date so I know where everything is and can backup to the cloud. I started importing really old photos that were taken with god knows what camera and the date is wrong. Since I had all these in date structured folders I could make a best guess on the date - not needing it to be exact, just so it shows up close enough in projects and the original lands in the right folder for future use & backup. I have come to learn that changing the metadata is only referring to how Aperture sees it. In other words, images that were taken on 10/31/04 are still landing in the referenced masters folder on the date the camera said. I now understand that the metadata date is not the date Aperture needs fixed. Is the best way to fix this to delete the images from Aperture, find some tool that will adjust to the approximate real date, then reimport. If so, can someone recommend a utility that does this? If I can fix this inside of Aperture, even better. I saw on one of the discussions: "it's all about the Exif and IPTC and not about the file metatata." Please feel free to learn me on that. Cheers.

That answers some of it - the relocate files. That will allow me to put the files in the right year/month folder. I imported full folders into Aperture so need to edit the metadata date for multiple pictures at the same time. I understand when you select multiple pictures and then ajust time, it adjusts in relation to the first picture. In my case these things were taken by all sorts of crappy cameras & re-edited years later (2003 data). So pictures taken on the same day have 2001, 2003 & 2007 dates. I really do just wnt to set all of them to the same (ballpark) date.
So my goals are:
1) have the pictures land in the right referenced folder - answered
2) do a mass adjust time to the same date for a folder of images
3) have the projects then land chronologically inside Aperture - not sure about this one yet
Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated.

Reversing A/P Invoice posted with wrong date and inventory cost adjustment

Here's the situation:
We had a PO dated 9/1/09 for items with a cost of $14.50, a Goods Receipt was entered 9/15/09 for the items with the same cost on the PO of $14.50. Somehow the order got lost in the mix and the AP invoice wasn't entered until today, with a posting date of 1/21/10 and the cost was corrected per the original vendor invoice to the right amount of $19.33. The invoice was actually dated 9/15/09. This resulted in hitting the vendor, purchases clearing and the inventory account (for the cost adjustment) in January 2010 when it should have occurred in September 2009.
The inventory itself has come and gone in the time between the GR and when the invoice was done with the incorrect date. Normally I would try to reverse the transaction with a Credit Memo and start over, however since the inventory side happened so long ago, I don't see any way of easily going backwards. I thought about doing service CM/invoice but what I am most concerned about is having the inventory valuation occur properly at the correct time. I'm not sure how to go about this.
Using SAP B1 2007A PL42 with moving average inventory.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Nicole,
I am afraid you may not have ability to do the adjustment based on historical date that long times ago. You know, the moving average has limited calculation based on current quantity and cost. There are no options to go backward especially new year is coming.
Thanks,
Gordon

How to keep edited photos with original date

After installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, I imported all my photos from my files on my computer. Many of the photos were upsidedown and needed to be rotated. When I rotated them, they were moved to the current date (when edited). How can I keep them in their original sequence (date)?

Good day!
