Changed Dates Are Not Being Saved

I bought a video capture device and am editing a bunch of old family films. I'm using the latest version of iMovie and am having problems with the clip dates. I can adjust the clip date in iMovie, to say 1984, but when I close iMovie and re-open it, the date is back to 2009. How do I get the clip dates to be saved so that I can organize my old movies?

After you capture your films and split them into logical clips (I use MPEG Streamclip to split), then you can rename your clips in this format:
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext
where hh is hours in 24 hour time. ext is the current extension (e.g. dv, mov, mp4, etc.
Then restart iMovie.
Do not do this for clips referenced in projects that you have already started. It will break the links.

    I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.
    Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • HT4075 I tried the steps mentioned above but the changes are not being saved.

    I am not able to edit or merge PDF files. I followed the steps mentioned in the Mac support community but the changes are not being saved. Any solution to this?

    The link you posted gives be a 404 not found message. 
    The reason you're getting the repeat is because your site name is wilgenroos.nl and the first page of your site is wilgenroos. 
    The standard URL for domain names that are forwarded with the CNAME method is:
    http://www.domain_name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
    You can change the site and page names in iWeb to give you something more informative about the site and page.
    If you're publishing to a  3rd party server and want to get rid of the site name in the url and only have
    http://www.domian_name.com/page_name.html
    do the following:
    publish the site to a folder on your hard drive (already done)
    use Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your site folder to the root folder of your account on the server.
    You should delete the old site folder and files that are currently there beforehand.

  • When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

    Problem:
    When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
    Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
    Symptoms:
    1)   Sync:  It’s not completing the sync.  Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options.  I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
    waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
    backing up (step 2 of 7)
    preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
    determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
    preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
    importing photos (step 6 of 7)
    waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
    syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
    canceling sync
    apple icon
    2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone.  All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto.  All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
    3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list.  If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes.  But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
    Other Potential Pertinent Info:
    The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago).  Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed.  I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive.  Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself.  However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive.  All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
    Settings/Status:
    MacBook Air
    OSX v. 10.9
    iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
    iPhone iOS 7.0.4
    iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
    Summary Tab
    Backups (This Computer)
    Options
    Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
    Sync only checked songs and videos
    Photos Tab
    Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
    Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
    Albums – 9 are selected

    You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

  • Notes are not being Saved

    Recently upgraded to an iPhone 3G S from the first generation iPhone. Synced my phone and everything is fine, but when I use the Notes application the notes are not being saved. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

    Ensure that the "sync notes" box is checked in iTunes. Also note that the notes syncing feature doesn't work very well yet.
    If you have a note on both the phone and the computer, and you change/update the one on the phone, the next time you sync the computer version will over write the phone version.

  • Mouse settings are not being saved

    I just did a clean install of Lion (10.7.5) on a new SSD in a mac pro 1,1 and am having problems with my mouse settings.  The settings are not being saved.  When I change any of the buttons, nothing changes.
    It's not a hardware problem with the mouse.  If I boot up to my previous os drive, lion 10.7.5, the mouse settings are correct and function properly.

    FOrgot to add, this is the basic wired mouse.  I've also tried the wireless bluetooth mighty mouse as well with the exact same results.

  • Recently, my passwords on many websites are not being saved, forcing me to log in every 15 minutes or so.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  I am wondering if it is a result of a "bad" update?

    For the past few weeks, I have noticed that passwords on many different websites are not being saved.  I literally have to log back into each page every 15 minutes or so.  Is this the result of a bad software update?  Have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow but if this can be resolved without going in, it would be preferred. 

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • Messages are not being saved on N96

    On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

    I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

  • Settings are not being saved when i reboot

    i am having a problem when i restart my computer my settings such as dock settings background settings are not being saved how do i resolve this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Is this just for new settings that won't stick? Or have all your original settings reverted to the defaults? Have you started up from your Mac OS X install disk and used the Disk Utility to "repair disk"? Do you have a backup of your important files?

  • Flash CC crashes after publishing iOS app + publish settings are not being saved to file

    I have two issues:
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    Since yesterday Flash CC keeps crashing right after I publish an iOS app. The app is published correctly though. I tried everything from restarting my MAC, reinstalling Flash, removing the folder "Flash CC 2014" inside Application Support/Adobe. But all this did not work.
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    Since the first day I installed Flash CC, it did not save my publish settings along with the .fla-file. I never had this issue with Flash CS 5.5. This was not a very big issue, but now every time I publish an app and Flash CC crashes I have to fill in all the publish settings manually. Now I'm getting frustrated. Even saving my settings as a preset, storing it inside a folder and importing it again, won't help. Then I will get the message: "Import failed: invalid profile file."
    Can please anyone help me with these issues? It is quite time consuming to continuously enter the settings manually after every crash.
    Thanks!

  • Sent or replied to emails are not being saved in mailbox

    My sent emails or the replies to emails sent to me are not being saved in my mailbox. The "sent" box is empty. What is happening and where can I find a copy of the emails I sent and the replies I sent?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure why it's not enabled by default, but when you go in to your mail and you can see your inbox.   look below your folders on the left hand side you'll see mail settings under general.
    click it
    and you'll see an option to save your sent messages.

  • My outgoing messages are not being saved in my sent folder

    Half of my message that I try to send are not being saved in my sent folder. This is a huge problem causing lost documentation and copies of information and conversations I have had. The error message I get says that thunderbird was unable to save to my sent folder and asks if I would like to try again. If I say yes I get the same message over and over again until I give up and let the message be lost to cyberspace. What can I do to fix this issue and stop loosing valuable information for work?
    I am using an HP laptop running windows 8.

    What protocol is your email account using (POP or IMAP)?
    If POP, you need to make sure your local disk space is enough to save the sent messages. Check where the copies are located by looking at the account settings under '''Copies & Folders'''. When using POP, I believe a copy needs to be saved on both sides: local and server.
    If IMAP, the email server is where such copies are saved. You can also double-check such settings as mentioned above.
    Finally, if your emails are too big, this may be a restriction of your email provider, perhaps get in touch with their support and inquire about this to rule it out as the cause of the problem. Could you share more details about the kind of emails that fail to have a local copy saved or is it for each and every email?

  • My Usernames Passwords are not being saved, the pop up question about saving a password or not never shows. Please let me know how I can fix this problem.

    My usernames and passwords are not being saved. I never get the prompt:

    I've tried the help screens but I can't find the answer. Please let me know how this can be fixed.

    Make sure that you have set Firefox to remember passwords.
    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
    Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
