Changing photo info

I am always careful to have my camera date set correctly so that all my pictures are in chronologial order. My friends (that sometimes give me their pics), are not quite so particular, and now I have multiple chunks of pictures that are out of order when I try to make projects in order of occurance. Is there a way that I can change the date on the photos?

Hi kat26star: Try this: From within iPhoto, select all the pictures that need to have dates or time changed. Right click, from the resultant menu select "Batch Change" "Date" then adjust time and date to which ever you chose.
Hope this helps

I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account. On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account. If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to. It did not send to back up email account either.
Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
Can I have 2 apple ids?
If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
(won't let me)
If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

Change/edit/modify "Photo Info"?

First of all, I apologize if this has been answered more than once. I am new to these forums and after being frustrated for about 30 minutes because I could not find a search facility for the forums, I eventually found this post telling me it was temporarily turned off (!):
http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=639
Anyway, back to my question...
I have some photos that I have copied to my MacBook, edited and published into a me.com gallery, but I don't seem to have found a way to change the "photo info" for any photograph. Perhaps I am just missing something obvious somewhere, but I would like to add entries for Camera: Maker, Model, Software, etc. but have not found a way of doing this...
Any suggestions appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That information is already in the file. Check the file with Reveal and you'll see that the the camera model is already listed. The items that can be edited or changed are: the capture date/time, description and the various exposure elements. However, iPhoto doesn't read all of those items upon import and display them. So you won't be able to increase what is viewed in the web gallery's info pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Font for photo info does not work on this MAC

We are running a new MAC (OS 10.6.2, 2.66 GHz Quad) with Lightroom 2.6. When I try to add photo data to a contact print, I see a series of boxes with AAAs. I got the same result with the Identy Plate when I changed the font. I changed to another font and it was fine. This leads me to believe the default font for photo info is not supported on this machine. We really need to use the photo info feature. Is there a way to either
1. Change the font to one that is supported on this machine
2. Add the default font to this machine

Considering the hundreds of thousands of Windows apps available, I doubt you're going to find such a list.
Is there a comprehensive list posted somewhere that show which PC software has compatibity issues?
Well since Windows software does not run on Mac OS, every application is going to have compatibility issues.
You'll either have to buy the Mac version (if available) of the software you want to use, or install Windows on the Mac.

Photo info on thumbnails in new photo ap????

Previously the photos shown in ann Event or Album the image number shown automatically, and you could add or rename that image. With the new update those items are not showing. Has that feature been removed? I looked thru the drop down options in photos and I don't see how to turn that feature on. Is it even possible? I know I can select a photo in an album or event and then hit the info button to turn it on and it stays on as I scroll thru each photo, however, I want to see the image numbers and titles when looking at all the thumbnails in a certain event or album.

Has that feature been removed?
Not removed but the title which shows below the thumbnail was not included in the conversion from iPhoto to Photos. User léonie has created some Automator/Applescript apps that can: 1 - put the file name of the original file into the title box; 2 - let you batch rename the titles in a couple of ways.

What about title batch change??? Cannot find it...Please help
Batch changing of titles, dates, captions is not supported in Photos.
I posted a few basic Automator workflows to do batch changing using Apple Script on the Photos User Tip page:
Photos for Mac
You can try them out as templates for your own scripts, if you want a work-around directly in Photos:
Batch Changes in Photos for Mac: Change the titles to a Given String
Photos for Mac: Batch Change the Date and Time to a Fixed Date
Photos for Mac: Batch Change the Descriptions
Photos for Mac: Batch Changing the Titles to the Filename
For the time being, it is much more convenient to import photos first to Aperture or iPhoto and to make all batch changes, including adding location data, and only then importing the photos to Photos.

Print Module: Auto-Rotate to fit and Photo Info Text

When in the print module with "Auto-Rotate to fit" selected, A landscape images correctly rotates to fit the page, but the text that is selected in the "Photo Info" setting does not rotate. Thus, the text appears along the left side of the image .
Any suggestions to get it to appear correctly on the bottom?
Also, Font size is selectable but not font type.

What OS?

Print Module - Page Panel: Page options & Photo Info lost

In the print module there are only 4 features left now in my final release version of LR3:
1. Page Background colour
2. Identity Plate
3. Watermarking
4. Cut Guides.
Victoria Bampton described also the features with a screenshot of LR3b2 in her "Missing FAQ-Rough Cut" (page 366):
4. cut guides did not exist, but instead Page options with tick boxes, then 5. Photo Info drop down box, then 6. Font Size.
What has happened?
How do I cover the following use case: Create an invitation with photos and own free text about date/time/venue?
Please don't answer "export a jpg from Lightroom and then use MS Word or some other editor".
From the beta phase I got the impression that creating such a pdf should be possible directly from Lightroom.

How do I cover the following use case: Create an invitation with photos and own free text about date/time/venue?
Lightroom's text layout features might not be as powerful as you might thought. You're option are:
Use a custom Identity plate to add some static text or graphic anywhere on the page.
Use watermarking to add some static text or graphic anywhere on the photo.
Use Photo Info to add some metadata, such as IPTC location or capture time, somewhere around your photo.

How to print Photo Info in the Custom Print Package

I am using LR CC, latest version on a Windows7 PC.
I am trying to print Photo Info in the Custom Print package. I have no trouble selecting Photo Info in the Single Image/Contact Sheet Layout Style, but when I switch to the Custom Print Package, the Photo Info check box in the Page panel, disappears. I can't find any reference to this in the manual as to why this would occur, or not be available.
Appreciate any help with this matter.
Best Regards
Steve

Hi,
Have a look at: Lightroom Help | Print module layouts and templates
Only on the Single Image and Contact Sheet layouts can you " ... print information about photos, such as the filename, title, caption, and keywords ..."

ITunes denies me the ability to change the info of my media. Anyone have the same problem?

Whenever you desire to change the information on a certain music file or movie you've saved to your apple device (In my case, an iPhone 4S), the only things that pop up on screen are the "Play (Insert name of media here)" or below that: "Get info". And even if you do click on "Get Info", you can only LOOK at the info already there and you can't change it! Before this problem arose, there used to be a long list of options you could select from for that specific media file you chose. Things like ratings, copy, delete, consolidate files, get artwork, etc. were at my fingertips, and now iTunes has refused me these luxeries! The thing I miss the most is being able to click on the "Get Info" option and actually CHANGING THE INFO of the media file instead of just looking at it with the color of the font being gray and not allowing you to change it! If I wanted to rename a video I got from the internet or give proper credit to the person who uploaded said video, I could do so in the past, but not now! Also, I cannot drag a music track or video file from my Video files of my computer's hard drive and place them into my Movies of iTunes or my iPhone 4S! It used to be so quick and easy to click and drag what you wanted into your device, But now it's just such a pain! I ask if anyone has this same problem and better yet, if anyone has a solution to this? All considerate thoughts and actions are appreciated. Thank you.

How can I put current date and time in Photo Info (Print module)?

I often use the Photo Info option in the Print Module to caption my proofs with File Number plus the date and time the print is made. This allows me to match up the print to the History state for the image, so I know which print version I'm looking at. I've always wanted to get Lightroom to automatically enter the date and time the print is made. It obviously knows this info, since it stamps the History state with date and time. Currently I have to modify my caption manually with Custom text each time I make a print. This is a major PITA. Has anyone figured out how to get Lightroom to do this?

There is a Date/Time title in the titles browser, does just what it says...

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

"Extended Photo Info" lost/invisible after migration to new Mac with 10.6.2

I just migrated my iPhoto library to my new Mac running OSX 10.6.2 from a Mac running OSX 10.3 I did this by copying the "Pictures/iPhoto Library" folder to an external drive. Today I tried to use "Show Extended Photo Info", and information appears to be lost? There is no Camera or Exposure information. I re-imported a photo from an old e-mail, and it does have the information! Do the Event/Location/Face features cause this to be deleted from my photos? I used these feature a lot before noticing anything was wrong.
Any ideas? Can I somehow check to see if the JPEG file still has the information? It is not too late to re-do the library import. I cannot live without the exposure information, as I like to play with my camera settings.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. After copying the library to the external HD did you open it directly with iPhoto? When iPhoto 09 converted that library to the latest version it would not have done anything to lose the EXIF data which is stored in the library's database files.
You didn't import that library into a new library did you? If you didn't then try rebuilding the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT1399 When I import a CD to itunes, it splits the album in to multiple entries. I have changed the info on some but others just will not merge. Is there an easy way to do this and can I stop them from splitting in future? Thanks

Okay this is what fixed my problem. Some kind of error/glitch occured half-way through importing that third cd that prevented further imports from any other cd. Once I completely removed the half-imported cd album from my library I could further import cd's without any problems.
