How do I change a photo's date in iPhoto '11 9.2.3?!?

How do I change a photo's date in iPhoto '11 9.2.3?!? I've been able to do it before through the "info" link, but don't have that option in this latest version...? It messes up my chronological event files when people have their camera date set wrong and I can't fix it! Thanks for any ideas you can provide.

you can make a smart album for the camera so you can easily select the photos that you need to correct time/date

How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
Can someone help????
I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate

How do I transfer all photos from my Imac, IPhoto version 7.1.5, to another Imac, IPhoto version 9.2, but keep the two sets of photos separate

You need to clarify what you are asking.
An iphoto installation has two major parts: 1. The application or program - that's the software and 2. The Library - that's where your actual pictures are.
So when you say:
I want to keep using the old Iphoto program on the new Imac. There is already an IPhoto program on the new Imac but I do not want to add or delete from that one.
It sounds like you want to move the application and not the Library. Most folks want to move the Library, and it makes no sense to have two versions of the application on your mac.

How do I change a photos date in iPhoto 11?

I have some old pictures that were not taken on a digital camera. One from 1952, others from 1971 and 1972. IPhoto assigns the date at which they were imported (two were e-mailed to me). I checked how to change a date and time. What I got was as follows:
Choose "photos", "adjust date and time"
OK, but I can type in a month and day, but if I type in 1952, it will not take 4 digits, sometimes only 1 or maybe 2. On the one from 1952, I scrolled up to 1952, but it started at 01, so that was a lot of scrolling. Am I doing something wrong, or is iPhoto effed up?

For incorrect camera dates use the adjust time and date command
For scans and other photos that were not originally digital use the batch change time and date command

How can I change the file creation date?

I recently downloaded more than 1,000 photos from my vacation. I'm preparing to burn DVDs for a friend, and I noticed that when I copy the photos to the desktop, they don't all have the same date. I have read a couple of discussions here about the difference between photo creation date and file creation date, and I understand the difference. But something seems odd to me.
For purposes of illustration, let's take two photos: "A" was taken with the camera in the landscape position (how one normally holds a point-and-shoot); "B" was taken with the camera held in the portrait position (rotated 90 degrees). The photos were taken on April 24, about three minutes apart, but not imported into iPhoto until May 19.
In iPhoto, both files show the actual creation date. Yay!
The problem is with the files after having been copied to the desktop.
When copied to the desktop, the info panel for photo "A" shows April 24 for both the "created" and "modified" dates. Photo "B," however, shows May 19 for the "created" and "modified" dates.
Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
Is there any way to change this? I want the DVD to show the date the photo was created, not imported to iPhoto. Picky, I know … but I'm like that.

Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
Correct. Your camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata. When you import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it - email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. So if you used the shot in a word processing doc, uploaded it to many Web site etc, the shot would come out sideways.
iPhoto has nothing to say about File dates. There are various file utilities that will edit the dates on Files

for instance. But there are otheers, search on MacUpdate

How do I change a photo file name, e.g. DSC001, etc.?

When I either import or download digital images into IPhoto, I need to change the filename in some instances. Using the Information feature in IPhoto, I give the photo a name or identifier and add other information. However, when I then burn the photo to a CD, the original filename, e.g. DSC001, etc. shows up. How can I change it?

Aaron Marquez wrote:
This isn't true.
Select the photo, then Press Command + I or go to View > Info and double click the photo filename to rename it.
Best,
Aaron
That does NOT change the file name and does not help (Unless you use the option to use the title for the file name during export) - You can not change the file name while the photo is in iPhoto (unless you do so using the finder awhick will corrupt your library and cause data loss)

How do I change the photo which is part of my Apple mail ID?

I have just recently become more familiar with my two email addies attached to my Mac stuff. I have been using my email addy @iCloud.com and @me.com and keep seeing that my email has a photo added to it which I want to change. Originally I added a photo (somehow...was really not knowing what I was doing I guess) and am definitely not able to figure out how I did that. So now when I text or email using the Apple stuff, people see the photo I added but it is one that I think I want to change. I have been trolling around trying to find where this photo might be located but so far no luck. Is anyone able to help me with this? I took a grab of the window with the photo showing so it could explain for me what I am asking about. It is the photo of the girl you can see there that is attached to my Apple stuff and I am thinking I want to change it since that is not me...:-)
Thanks, I am sure this is not a big deal.
I just don't seem to know where to find that setting that can edit or change that photo choice.
Feeling kind of dumb.

It is very interesting that there are so many different ways to do some things on Mac and not much of it is out where it is easy to find out about...but sometimes just "fiddling" seems to work well...
The user image and the contact image are two different things. You can get to your Me card from the Users & Groups, but you can have a different image on your account image and on your Contact card.
Again, neither of which are sent with your emails, unless you attach your contact card.
but I went to System and on in and then double clicked on my name there as the user, that brought up an address book
Where exactly did you double-click on your name? I wasn't aware of this so I was trying to duplicate it. I can't get my Contact card in any way except for clicking on the Open... button on my account info in Users & Groups. I can't find a way to double-click a name and have it open Contacts.

Iphoto 11 , How to save changes to photos, not saving -/ snow leopard

Hi , after much ado then discovering the recent "fix" for Iphoto 11 I started using it today. I uploaded new photos , edited them and quickly discovered that Iphoto was NOT saving any of the changes I had made.There is no longer a "Done" button so I went back to again check the few photos I had adjusted , Iphoto only saved changes for one out of 10 of the photos I had adjusted.
Is there a "save changes" function I am missing here? Anyone else experiencing this problem?

How are you exporting? If you select the photo and export (file menu ==> export) with kind = JPEG or current the edited version will be exported
if that is not happening try renewing your preference file -
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
