How do I stop the date changing every time I edit a photo?

I have recently scanned a number of photos from negatives, and assigned a date to them in the organiser. If I subsequently go in and re-edit a photograph, the date reverts to the date of this modification and I lose the date I originally assigned. I have tried unchecking the box Use Date File was Last Modified if no EXIF Date Found, but to no effect. Curiously, this only happens to photos where the day of the month is unknown - so a photo I have dated 4/6/1972 remains unchanged, but a photo dated 6/1972 reverts to the date of the latest modification. How do I get Elements to leave the date I have assigned to the photo? Thanks.

David,
This appears to be another instance of a known bug in the last several versions of PSE. When you invoke the Editor or the Edit > Update Thumbnails command, PSE rereads the date/time from the file's metadata back into the catalog (who knows why it does that). Normally, when you invoke Edit > Adjust Date And Time, PSE immeditely writes the date/time into the file's metadata; so when you then invoke the Editor, it doesn't matter that PSE rereads the date/time from the metadata back into the catalog. But if the Edit > Adjust Date And Time command fails to write the date/time into the metadata for some reason, then when you invoke the Editor, PSE will overwrite the date/time in the catalog with the old date/time from the metadata -- precisely what you're observing.
There are several reasons why the Adjust Date And Time command can silently fail to write the date/time to the metadata:
- PSE doesn't understand the file type or the file type doesn't support metadata (BMP, PDF, Quicktime, PNG).
- The file is marked readonly.
- A bug in PSE's metadata handling prevents it from writing the date/time. PSE has many bugs in its metadata handling.
I'm guessing that it's the last reason that you're encountering.
Suggestion: Upload one of the problem photos to www.pixentral.com (free) and post the URL here. I'll take a look at it and see if I can reproduce the problem in my PSE.

How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone?

How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4 and at least 95% of the time I unlock it, some apps act as though they are reinstalling. It only lasts for about 3 seconds if that but it makes me feel like something is wrong with it. Does anyone else have this problem??

How do I stop the date format from changing to US format?

I have an excel doc that I've converted to pdf. In the process the date format changed to mm/dd/yyyy. How do I stop this from happening?

Hello,
In a earlier attempt I marked all the date entries and labeled them as such (see screenshot of my German Excel):
After that I converted the file by help of Excel(!) and I got this pdf file, which had all the entries formatted as produced in Excel before.

How do you make the date change for every entry when inserting.

Hello, I am making a daily vehicle inspection report for my truck and I would like to make a 7 day calendar but I would like to insert the date ie Monday Feb 22, 2010, Tuesday Feb 23, 2010 etc...and have it change for each day of the week. is there a way to do this? Also can you put an outline or a box around the 6 lines of text that you input.
Thank you
Ottoman

Ottoman,
As Peter says, you can use a Table for this. You do not, however, need to enter two dates to fill with a series of dates. Dates are an exception to the general Fill rule. Just enter one, and fill down to get successive dates.
Other exception available:
a single cell is sufficient for every entries ending with a number :
president1
thief2
king3
behave this way.
Durations behave like numbers : two cells are required.

When i log on to thunderbird, the in box has the message, 'building summary file', this then takes ages to do . how do I stop it doing this every time I log on?

Try restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]

I have a specific font set for my outlook emails. When I use "send link" and need to add a note in that email, the font changes. How can I stop the font change? Thanks.

I know this it "nit-picky", but to me it is frustrating. Is there a way to lock my chosen font and keep it from changing when a link from the internet is added to the email? Thanks.

I at first thought it might be a Mac thing, but I couldn't find a solution. I realized that the date only affected my email, so then I thought it must be a Mozilla problem.

I don't want to see the Create, etc window when opening PS CC2014. How do I stop it from appearing EVERY time I start PS?

Overall, I like PS CC 2014. However, the most annoying thing is the popup window that appears EVERY time I start the program. It's the one with "Create", etc at the top and links to a bunch of videos. How do I make it so I no longer have to see it any more?

How do you stop iPhoto from loading every time you dock the iPhone?

I would like to NOT have iPhoto start up every time I plug in my iPhone. I am sure there must be an easy way to do this. Thanks!

There are two different topics in this thread, and two separate "sync photo" issues with iPhone.
1) Syncing photos to iPhone, similar to the process if you had an iPod. This is handled as mentioned above, from within iTunes.
2) Syncing photos from iPhone, as with any camera. This is handled from within iPhoto, also as mentioned above.
I just wanted to point out that these are two independent processes, able to be modified separately.
If you have cleared out the iPhone and/or not taken any more pictures, it will not cause iPhoto to pop up.

How can I stop Firefox from 'talking' every time I click a new item on my laptop screen?

Without my doing anything, all of a sudden my Firefox started talking every time I click something on my laptop screen. Example: I clicked the link that took me to this page. Firefox said "new window... Firefox menu ... Ask a New Question ..." I don't need this, it interferes with all that I do that requires my speaker turned on. How can I stop this?

You can also manage all permissions on the about:permissions page via the location bar.<br />
Use "All Sites" to set the defaults.
You can open about:xxxx pages via the location bar like you open a website.<br />
Firefox uses the about: protocol to access internal Firefox (setting) pages.

When I import new home videos into my iTunes and edit the names it creates duplicate Library's on my Apple Tv. How can I stop this from happening each time I edit a name in iTunes home videos??

I am having an issue with duplicate Libraries showing up in my Home Sharing "Home Videos". It happens when I import home videos into iTunes and change the names of the files. How do I avoid this from happening and delete the duplicate libraries?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.
