How can I change the date on photos I got from someone else?

I attended an event with a friend and the photos of hers that I downloaded from Facebook have a very old date (December 2009). I suspect she doesn't have the date set in her camera. So iPhoto thinks the event went from Dec. 31, 2009 to Aug. 24, 2012 and organizes it in Events in Dec 31 2009, so it isn't where I look for it. I have tried changing the date on the pictures I got from her, but that field is uneditable for those pictures. I can change it on my own, but not hers. How do I get these photos to show the correct date so that they appear in the correct order?

No worries. I asked pretty much the same question about 2 years ago. After all the problems I come here to have solved, I finally solved someone else's!

  • How can I change the date old photos were taken when I only know the year?

    I've scanned lots of old photos and I want to change the date to reflect when they were taken. In some cases I only know the year and I don't want inaccurate information to be assigned by the software. How can I do this?

    Actually a specific wrong date is no more inaccurate than a year with no more info - neither is correct, just incorrect in different ways
    the software de not ever assign a date to a photo - you do o your camera does
    iPhoto has no provision for an approximate date do you have to leave them undated in the EXIF fields and use a description field or pick a date to use for unknown - 1/1/xxxx is one suggestion

  • How can i change the date of imported movie clips from mini dv?

    i imported 1 hour of video from the same tape and created 1 event for all of them.but the date of it is today so imovie is showing it under 2011 when it is 2008? i tried the terminal command touch -t 200806061200 and then draging the event from movies-imovie events to the terminal, i also tried the touch -mt but its not working The folder itself changed dates but not all the clips inside it?

    Hi Karsten
    Me just adding in - tried this date and time change and as I get it
    • iMovie'08 - can't be done - Right-Click or Shift-Click or whatever-Click - just don't work
    • iMovie'09 (and most probably iM'11) - Exactly as describet - BUT one must ctrl-Click on one CLIP at a time - Can't be done to a full Event in one stroke (at least I can not figure out how)
    (Now I did figure it out - Select Clip one - keep Shift-key down and select last clip in Event - then when all is selected ctrl-Click in one of them and Change Date & Time and all will change)

  • How can I change the date "taken" on individual photos in iPhoto?

    How can I change the date "taken" on individual photos in iPhoto? I have some photos that were scanned and the date "taken" info displays the day the picture was scanned as opposed to the date it was actually taken. Is there some way to edit this information?

    In iPhoto '11 on your Mac use the command "Photos > Adjust Date and Time" and enable the "Modify original files" option, if you want to set the date of the originals to the correct date as well.

  • How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

    How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
    I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

    I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
    From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
    OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
        Open System Preferences.
        From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
        Click the Advanced button.
        Click the Dates tab.
        Click the Restore Defaults button.
        Click the Times tab.
        Click the Restore Defaults button.
        Click OK.
        Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
        Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.
    Then customize to taste - OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
    OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
    Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
        Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
        Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
        To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
        In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
        In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
        When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
        The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
    To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
    To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
    Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' "  to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
    Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust
    - Date/Time formats are displayed according to 'tradition' of your region > http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad245ed123

  • How can I change the date on the top of the screensaver on my iPad air?

    How can I change the date at the top of the screensaver?  It still has the date I purchased it.  I tried the date and time and resetting the ipad.

    What do you mean at the top of the screensaver ? If you mean the wallpaper image that you have as your background, and which also shows on the lock screen, then you can change that image via Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness - did you take a screenshot on the date that you bought your iPad, and that screenshot included the date on it ?
    On my lock screen, if that's what you mean by screensaver, then the date that shows below the time is picked up from Settings > General > Date & Time e.g.

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

  • How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?

    How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?
    We have a legacy app that used drive letter 'Q' already, now the newer machines are coming in with 'Q' preassigned to Microsoft Office Click to Run, and it is causing problems.  There has to be a way to change the drive letter assignment to some
    other letter besides 'Q' 

    Hi,
    Office that is delivered by Click-to-Run is installed on the Q drive, this cannot be changed.
    To work around this problem, uninstall the Click-to-Run version of Office and then install with the traditional MSI-based installation.
    To switch to using an MSI-based Office edition, you can learn something useful from this link below:

  • How can I change the date format?

    How can I change the default date format for all date fields in Oracle CRM OD? Currently it is set to the US format of MM/DD/YYYY.
    I would like to spell out the month, e.g. October 6, 2010, in order to avoid confusion between US and international date formats.
    For example 11/6/2010 means October 6, 2010 in US but it means 11 June 2010 internationally. Having a global team, this is causing problems for us.
    Georgi

    Georgi, the company profile has a Default Locale. Also each user can have their Locale. The US format of MM/DD/YYYY can not be changed to October 6, 2010 as an example.
    I would recommend that you submit a enhancement request to CRM On Demand customer care.

  • How can I change the date of birth on my child's Apple ID?

    HI,
    My son's school have started an initiative where they use iPads as part of their lessons, and subsequently my son has a brand new iPad through the scheme.
    The setup guide that the school supplied directed us to enter the parent's date of birth and the student's name to set up an Apple ID.  However, since setting his iPad up we have become aware of Family Sharing when we setup our old iPad for his younger brother, and the ability to create an Apple ID for a child.  We would obviously like the same level of protection and security for both children, not to mention restricting any accidental purchases!
    Is there any way to change his date of birth from mine to his?  I have read other similar posts with the best solutions apparently to fudge the date of birth so that the child is older than 13 years old.  I would like to do this properly rather than lie about his age...
    Thanks in advance

    You can not change the date of birth on the account. You are explicitly told this when the account is created.
    The ID you created is yours, not your son's. If your son is under 13, then to claim it is your son's ID is to say that you committed a crime when you created it. Create a new account for your son.
    Inform the school that if they are instructing parents to do this because the children are under 13, they are potentially criminally liable. They should know better.
