Editing date & time in Places

I just installed iLife 09. A bulk of my photos were converted from non-digital negatives to CD. Of course when I import the discs, iPhoto assumes that the date I import the disc is the date of the event. I CAN NOT find a way to edit the date of the events. Is there a way or has Apple yet again let me down?

I CAN NOT find a way to edit the date of the events. Is there a way or has Apple yet again let me down?
Darn that Apple - but luckily they provided this free user to user forum so you do not have to click on the help menu and type in "date" - terrible of them
If you were to click on the Help menu and type "data" not the search window that comes up it would point you to two menu items that will solve your problem - and give you links to five (5) articles that provide more information - and an an all results link to show even more options if none of those do it
I know that you are terribly disappointed with Apple for making it this hard - but it is just the way it is

How do you edit date/time title slide???

I've used date/time title slides in my movie, but I can't edit the date/time. I want the time of the clip, instead it just shows the date/time I inserted the title into the movie. On other title slides, you just click on the info to edit but it doesn't seem to work???
Thanks

It will pick up the metadata from the clip.
So the first thing to check is whether your clip has metadata. Click VIEW/PLAYHEAD INFO and skim your mouse over the clip. Do you see any data and time info?
You can add date and time info in iMovie by right-clicking on the Event clip and editing the date and time. i am not sure if this will populate the title, but it might. In older versions of iMovie, it would not.
A better solution (assuming you know the date and time) is to select that clip in the Event.
Then right-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder.
In the Finder, right-click/COPY. Go to your desktop and right-click PASTE. On this copy of the clip, change the name of the clip to clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss;ext where hh is hours in 24 hour time, ext is the current extension, and the rest should be self explanatory.
Once you have done this, import it into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT/MOVIES...
It is OK to import it into the same Event.
Now it should have the correct date and time metadata.

Batch edit date & time in PSE 8 Mac/Bridge

OK, maybe it's jet lag. I uploaded all my vacation photos, and realized I had forgotten to adjust camera date/timezone. I remember that earlier versions of PSE Windows had the ability to batch adjust the date/time shot, but I can't find it in Bridge CS4 or PSE 8 Mac. I really don't want to do it manually for a few hundred photos. Is the capability hiding in there somewhere? thx

Thanks, Barbara. One of the utilities you mentioned -- PhotoInfo -- does have a very easy batch mode for date/time change. And, of course, so does iPhoto.
Unfortunately, they both run afoul of another detail: there are multiple date/time stamps stored in a JPG. iPhoto and PhotoInfo both read/write the CreateDate XMP metadata field, but Bridge and PSE appear to base "Date Created" on the value stored in the DateTimeOriginal EXIF field. I haven't tried GraphicConverter yet, nor EXIFtool, which definitely handles all timestamps but is command-line only. I have some tools on the Windows side that I'll try first.

How do I stop auto update of date/time

Hi,
I'm starting to despair, a while ago I stupidly clicked on auto update/time on a letter I was working on, it seemed like a good idea at the time. But now whenever I open any letter the date is automatically updated which is a major problem as I am losing the references to when I actually wrote and therefore sent these letters. I'm too scared to open letters now because I'll lose this important piece of information.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Nathalie

Next time, don't use the Pages 's insert date_time feature.
Use the one delivered in the free WordService from Devon Technologies.
It always inserts a fixed date_time.
But I have wondering about your problem.
The Pages User Guide states:
• To add and format the date and time, place the insertion point where you want the value to appear, and then choose Insert > Date & Time.
To change the date and time format, Control-click the date and time value, choose Edit Date & Time, and then choose a date and time format from the pop-up menu. *If you want the document to always show the current date and time, select “Automatically update on open.”*
Which, if I understand well means that the default setting is that the inserted date_time is a frozen (fixed) one.

"Show logging" displays the switch UP time not the Date & time

Hi,
i have cisco 2950 switch, when i type the show logging, what ever event has happend i am getting like this "26w6d: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed state to down" but it is not showing the date & time when the event has occured, so every time i need to check the show version & have to see the switch up time & then i need to calculate. is there any configuration has to be done where i should get the information of the date & time in place of switch up time eg. like this...
"Sep4 4:15: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed state to down"

what you could do is to enable timestamping if not already done so.
2950(config)# service timestamp debug datetime msec
2950(config)# service timestamp log datetime msec
or you can use SNMP to provide traps of the 'events' that occur on the device.
these SNMP traps will provide the date, time and trap.
what version IOS on that device? have you enabled timestamping? have you upgrade lately? perhaps an upgrade could be of assistance. i'll verify the operation on some 2950s i have to confirm if i have the same issue or not and what version is being used. i'll post the result when available.

Display "Last Updated" date & time in footer?

I share Numbers '09 worksheets over a network with my colleague.
Is there a way to display the date & time of the most recent update (i.e. saved update) in the footer of a worksheet?
I realize this info is available via the Inspector, but it would be very handy to have it printed out along with the data to ensure we are working off the same document revision.

Insert > Date & Time into your Header, Footer, Shape, etc.
Right-Click the Date & Time and select Edit Date & Time. In the dialog window that opens, check the box for Automatically Update on Open.

Using Lightroom 5.5: I can sort images by edit date, but I cannot find a display of the actual time and date of the edit?

Often when working intensely on a large project which spans over days I forget to mark the start and finish time for each session. When billing clients for time this can create problems. I thought the perfect solution to this problem would be to sort catalog by edit time, and then by view the time stamps. I could then find the first and and last edit for a session and quickly translate to session time. The only problem is I cannot find a place with LT displays this information.

It seems to be an oversight in LR -- the metadata field "lastEditTime" is available to plugins via the Lightroom SDK, but you can't use that field to define a custom tagset for displaying in the right-hand-side Metadata panel.
However, here's a workaround that might work for you: In the right-hand Metadata panel, select the "EXIF and IPTC" preset, and the field Metadata Date will show the date/time of the last time LR wrote metadata back to the file. In Catalog Settings > Metadata, make sure "Automatically write changes into XMP" is checked. This will cause LR to write develop settings or metadata changes (keywords, captions, ratings, etc.) back to the file soon after you make the changes ("soon after" is typically less than a minute).

Calendar no longer expands panel to edit event date/time

This issue just occurred out of the blue. When editing event details in the calendar, I click on the date/time panel to edit the date/time/repeat/etc. The expected action is for that panel to expand and be scrollable. What it is doing now is showing the prompts, but not expanding/giving a scroll and smushes everything together. Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to resolve? Screenshot of the issue:
I'm on Yosemite 10.10.1 and Calendar 8.0 (2026)

As always, I have no "Edit" button even one minute after posting, so I reply to my own post. I did also trash "com.apple.Calendar.plist", no change at all either in my chosen preferences or in the missing messages issue,

Date time data altered by edit

I have been struggling with what seems to be a significant bug in Photoshop Elements 9.
When I edit a photo (creating a version set), the date/time stamp on the original and edited photo takes on the date and time of the edit and not the original date and time of the photo being taken.
This happens most (but not all) of the time.
I generally edit in Photoshop CS5, but it does happen if I edit in Elements 9 too.
This is very frustrating. I must edit photos one at a time, remember the original date and time, and manually reset it.
Any help? Resolution? Thanks.

I have the opposite issue. When I edit a file I want the edited version to list the new date of the edit, I always have the original if I want to know when originally taken. Now, in 10, the edited date does not change when I want it to.

Edit Capture Time - Meta Data

Ive imported photos into Lightroom from two cameras and noticed later than one camera must have been accidentally set to AM instead of PM. So my pictures arent in the proper order when I sort them by time. How can one edit the time on more than one photo at a time? When I select more than one photo in the Library view the meta data show "mixed".
TIA,
Amelia

In Grid View, select all the images from the camera that was set to the wrong time. Go to the Metadata>Edit Capture Time menu item. Then, choose the "Adjust to a specified date and time" option and set the correct time for the image that is showing. All the selected images will keep their positions relative to that image, but be adjusted by the same amount.It does exactly what you need.

Edit date and time

I thought Aperture was working just fine in SL; then I tried to change a date/time in the metadata and got no response at all. Anyone else?

This file is one of many from a scanner in TIFF format. It is the only one that does not "correct" properly. All my others can be corrected. Not too much of a problem.

Edit capture time doesn't work for multiple images

Hi all, hope you can help me.
I'm trying to edit capture time for multiple images. I select the images using the grid view, and go to Metadata>Edit Capture Time>Adjust to Specified Date and Time, enter the time, and select "change all." However, it seems that some, or perhaps most of the images don't actually have a new Date Created when this process is done.
I thought perhaps I needed to select 'write metadata to files', but the Date Created seems to revert back prior to writing to the file, or indeed, it doesn't actually change in the first place.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
J

Automatic date/time stamp a document

Is there a way to automatically insert a date/time on a document? I have a program that allows me to alter pdf documents and I need to be able to enter the date and time. Blackberry allowed me to type "dt" and it would automatically enter it for me. Does Apple have a feature similar?

I have looked at that but haven't been able to figure out how to use or edit the stamp. Is there a place
to set up time/date stamping, or maybe it's to be done manually? In either case, I haven't been able to figure how to do a stamp that is anything other than the stock stamp.

Edit Capture Time XMP vs. EXIF

Scope:
- LR 1.4.1 and 2 Beta
- Any file that is edited using Metadata:Edit Capture Time
(Note: detail info below may be helpful to those seeking to understand date/time problems/issues with LR and other tools)
Background:
LR allows editing/offsetting of image capture time via the Metadata:Edit Capture Time menu option.
Changing the time in LR alters the following EXIF date/time metadata fields as displayed in LR:
- Date Time Original
- Date Time Digitized
- Date Time
Writing the LR metadata to the image file via the Metadata:Save Metadata to File command writes the values into the images relevant EXIF and XMP date/time metadata fields.
Challenge:
LR writes the correctly edited times into the XMP date/time metadata fields but writes incorrect times into the EXIF date/time metadata fields.
LR uses XMP date/time metadata fields for its displayed time data, not EXIF date/time metadata fields. As a consequence, the user does not know the EXIF time fields have been incorrectly changed unless they check them in a tool that displays or uses the EXIF date/time metadata fields.
Solution:
Use a batch file based on exiftools to copy the LR edited XMP date/times into the EXIF date/time metadata fields.
Resources:
- Batch file LR XMP/EXIF date/time bug fixer here - LR-xmpdatetime2exif.bat: http://www.hackneys.com/photos/lr/LR-datetimexmp2exif.bat
- Batch file arguments file (required) here LR-xmpdatetime2exif.args: http://www.hackneys.com/photos/lr/LR-datetimexmp2exif.args
A few useful tools to better understand this challenge:
- Batch file to display relevant date/time metadata fields here - list-exif-tags-sample-datetime.bat: http://www.hackneys.com/photos/lr/list-exif-tags-sample-datetime.bat
- Batch file to display set of EXIF metadata here - list-exif-tags-sample.bat: http://www.hackneys.com/photos/lr/list-exif-tags-sample.bat
- Batch file to display set of XMP metadata here - list-xmp-tags-sample.bat: http://www.hackneys.com/photos/lr/list-xmp-tags-sample.bat

- Sample photo file here sample.jpg: http://www.hackneys.com/photos/lr/sample.jpg
Preparation:
All batch files require an installed copy of exiftools by Phil Harvey (free) available here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
1. Download exiftools windows command line version and rename the file exiftools.exe.
2. Place the exiftools.exe file in your windows directory or on your system path.
Utilization
1. In Lightroom, select the folder containing the photos you need to fix.
2. In Lightroom, select all the photos you need to fix.
3. In Lightroom, select Metadata:Save Metadata to File (this step ensures you dont lose any Lightroom specific metadata that has not been embedded in the file).
4. Using Windows Explorer or another utility, backup your jpg files
5. Using Windows Explorer copy the LR-xmpdatetime2exif.bat and LR-xmpdatetime2exif.args files to the folder with the jpg files you need to fix.
6. Using Windows Explorer double click on LR-xmpdatetime2exif.bat
7. Wait for the batch file to process.
8. In Lightroom, ensure the photos you just fixed are still selected, if not, re-select them.
9. In Lightroom, select Metadata:Read Metadata from File (this step ensures that Lightroom has all the revised EXIF date/time metadata loaded).

Detail:
This challenge is a subset and another manifestation that LR 1.4 uses the XMP time data fields, not the EXIF fields that other programs use and rely on. There have been numerous posts regarding other manifestations of this problem.
Most of the confusion relates to several primary factors:
1. Cameras embed EXIF metadata into photo files. Adobe products, and some others, support XMP metadata, which is not part of the EXIF standard. If a tool was developed prior to XMP, such as Exifer or PSP 9, then that tool has no way to view or edit XMP metadata. If a tool only displays, edits and maintains XMP, such as LR, then the two data sets can become de-coupled for common data points, such as date/time. If a tool relies on the EXIF version of a common data point, such as RoboGEO, but the date/time was edited by a tool that only maintains XMP data, such as LR, then the EXIF dependent tool will be working with out of synch data.
2. LR, PSE, Bridge, etc. use, either exclusively or primarily, XMP metadata, even though they may label/display it as EXIF. LR, for instance, only displays the XMP date/time values, even though they are labeled EXIF.
3. The EXIF specification assigns time field names different than those commonly used in various tools when labeling/displaying EXIF time data fields. You will find the very same EXIF date/time field labeled a wide variety of ways in even a handful of tools.
4. The XMP specification has a namespace area labeled EXIF. Adding to the confusion even more, the XMP-EXIF namespace has date/time field names that duplicate those of EXIF date/time fields.
As you can see, if you add these four factors together, it is no surprise there is widespread confusion related to photo file date/time in general and LRs handling of it in particular.
