How do I change the date of a photo in iPhoto?

I need to change the date of when the pic was taken because it is wrong what do I need to do?

Depends
The general answer is the batch change ==> data and time command which changes a photo or group of photos to a specific date/time with an option to add a fixed increment to the time on multiple photos
But if you have a special situation like a camera with an incorrect date/time then you use the adjust time and date command

How do I change the date of a picture on iPhoto '11.

How do I change the date of a picture on iPhoto '11. The camera had the wrong date stamp on it.

How can I change the dates on many photos with a fix time of say 20s?

Before it was possible to change the date on many pictures scanned by adddind a fix increlental of time.
How can I now change the dates on many pictures taht I have renumbered to keep the same incremental?

The seconds:
I just remembered - the time increment is set in Apple Script in seconds - the variable "minutes" is just a name for the value "60" and "hours" for "3600". Since "seconds" would have the value "1", there is no predefined constant "seconds".
If you want an increment of 30 seconds, simply write
set timeIncrement to 30
For example
on run {input, parameters}
(* copyright leonieDF *)
          set timeIncrement to (1 * hours) + (2 * minutes) + 30
(* select at least 2 images in Aperture *)
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    if imageSel is {} then
                              error "Please select an image."
                    else
                              tell (item 1 of imageSel)
                                        set imageDate to value of EXIF tag "ImageDate"
--set imageDate to get the value of EXIF tag "ImageDate"
                              end tell
                              repeat with i from 2 to count of imageSel
                                        set imageDate to imageDate + timeIncrement
adjust image date imageDate of images {item i of imageSel}
                              end repeat
                    end if
                    return imageSel
          end tell
end run

How can I change the shape of a photo in iPhoto?

Can I change the shape of a picture to an oval?

No. You'd need an external editor for that kind of stuff:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Of course, you may not want to change the shape of a photo which would distort it. You may want to print it in an oval shape but undistorted. I'd use a page layout app like Pages for that,

You indicated that the images "seemed" to be in the right order. It might be a good idea to rename the images on export using a custom name/sequence. If you have done that and the images are still not in order, it's possible that your operating system browsing window is using a different sort order. I sometimes change windows explorer to sort by file type, and then files are sometimes in what seems be a strange order.

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

There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

No. That's not what I said. You can get an out of warranty replacement, which will be exactly the same model, color, and will be locked in exactly the same way the original is. If you want an iPhone 5, get the 4S replaced, sell it, and use the money to put toward a new phone.

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.
