If iPhoto knows when an image was taken why doesn't Preview?

When I take an image with various cameras iPhoto always knows when the image was taken (the date and time is shown in iPhoto).
However, when that same image is opened in preview and I select “Get Info" it only shows the date when the image was copied onto my Mac. Is there a way to tell when an image was taken without using iPhoto?

Type Command(⌘)+i in Preview and then click on the small "i" button in the toolbar at the top and then on the EXIF button.  You'll get this:

It's got all of the EXIF data of the photo. Actually more than iPhoto displays.

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • How to print the date the image was taken as a watermark on the image

    I want to print the date the image was taken (available as EXIF-data) as an automatic watermark (or otherwise as a caption ON the photo, and not as a header of a footer above or under the photo). I can't find how to do it. Any help? Thanks!

    The only way you could batch this with out of the box PE is to put in via process multiple files in the editor, but you'd have to manually type it in and can only do one date per batch of files. So you could do all the photos taken on one day in one batch, but not a group taken on different days.

  • How do I retain picture information such as when the picture was taken when burning to DVD

    I'm currently wanting to export photos to a DVD for keeping. When I use Preview to look at the photo on the DVD the original date when the photo was taken is not there. Please help

    where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch.....  So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
    Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
    I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
    Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot..... 
    thank u

  • I like to know when i use fire fox why it take so much resource of my computer ? it almost 1/4 of my 4gig of memeory , ihave 6,7 page of firefox window open

    i like to know when i use fire fox why it take so much resource of my computer ? it almost 1/4 of my 4 gig of memory , i have 6,-8 page of firefox window open at cpu level its is almost 25% been used up. i see its taking too much resource i wonder why ?? how not to take so much and it crashes often.. any help,ive 24.0 ,

    Firefox add-ons take some memory. This amount varies depending on the add-on.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Does this decrease the memory usage? Please report back soon.

  • HT4623 When I go into settings why doesn't the update appear on my screen

    When I go into settings why doesn't update appear on the screen

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Getting multiple copies of iPhoto slideshow when I burn a dvd - why?

    I just learned how to create a slideshow in iPhoto and struggled through the learning curve to be able to burn it as it appears in iPhoto. I got so excited today when I burned a dvd and it actually played on my TV's dvd player, though it was missing the iDVD theme intro. Then when my slideshow was over, the theme intro played and the entire slideshow played again. In other words, I have at least 2 copies of the slideshow on the disc.
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? thanks!

    Hi
    Most common origin to this are:
    Brand of DVD used - NoName, Memorex etc cheap brands might work as Data-DVDs - BUT NOT as Video-DVDs
    Type of DVD used - I only use SL-DVD-R as they also playback on older DVD-players. DVD+R for newer DVD-players. Never ever DVD+/-RW. Dual-Layers usually creates more problems than Single-Layers
    BURN SPEED - Very IMPORTANT factor - I never go faster than x4 - Normally I use x2
    Material used - Video Codec, Photo and Audio file formats
    Video-Codec: StreamingDV, AIC and HDV (I use)
    Photo: .jpg - NO .bmp or other - all converted to .jpg first
    Audio: .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3, wma etc ailient formats - all converted to ..aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz first
    Free Space: on Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - I never go less than 25Gb when doing Video-DVDs (for SD-Quality Video - if HD material is used 4-5 times more are a safe low level) (Other external Hard Disks - DO NOT COUNT as space here can not be addressed by Mac OS or iDVD for it’s massive use of .temp files)
    Dusty DVD-burner Laser: I use a Cleaning DVD (no liquid but the one with brushes) from time to time.
    Harmed DVD-burner Laser: Easy to do by burning more than three DVDs at a time - I let it rest for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs. If this happened - then only a costly repair will help. It will not heal by it self.
    OBS: There are more than one Laser in the DVD-Burner so other functions might work OK as Playback CD/DVDs and even burn CDs. Still being broken.

  • Is there a way of knowing when an app was last opened on my iPad?

    Hello
    I'm using an iPad Air with iOS 8.3. Is there a way of finding out when a particular app was last used and for how long?
    Thanks for any help.
    Dave

    Thanks KP, that's a shame - do you, or anyone else, know of an app that can monitor these things? Basically, I want to be able to see which apps my children have used (games mostly) and when they've used them. I'm sure I can't be the only one!

  • How to know when the tablespace was deleted?

    Hi
    can we find the information regarding which has been deleted.
    can we find that when it was deleted.
    can we find who deleted it?
    Thanks
    Shaikh

    Hi,
    Just for Example :-
    If you have given the access rights for two Users, who have the privi's to drop the tablespaces...and think you dont have the Option of Alert Log.
    what you would do..??
    Auditing...??
    Tracing.. ??
    I think better Option is Trace for Specific Session, which ever he is willing to you.
    How does that help in this scenario and otherwise also ? No one is gonna enable trace like this for the users.
    Let me know your valuable feed back, that might help me in correcting my mistakes..!! ';-)
    Thanks

  • How can I know when the laptop was last used?

    I left my laptop at the office, which is also my parents' house over the weekend. How can I know if someone else had used it while I was gone? Is there a log somewhere I can read or check?

    Console.app and check your browser(s) history. 

  • IPhoto crasht when importing photos and now it doesn't open anymore. Please help!

    I was importing photos in iPhoto, when the program crasht. I tried to restart it, but it never opend. I installed it again and again and made a software update - still doesn't work. What can I do? Please help!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • Why did the Apple Store replace the iPad mini when the firmware was corrupt -- why not just fix the firmware?

    The iPad mini would not turn on - so I scheduled an appointment with the Genius Bar. Why did they say the only solution was a replacement iPad mini- couldn't the firmware be corrected (re-installed or something?)
    Problem Description/Diagnosis
    Issue: iPad display is black
    Steps to Reproduce: Plugged into the computer to do a restore and there was an error message saying the firmware is corrupt
    Cosmetic Condition: iPad appears to be in good condition
    Contact Apple Support Case: 697280685
    Employee 929551133

    The iPad mini was not still under warranty -- so they charged me $199 -- and I did not ask because the way they said it, there was not an option. When I got home and checked, it appears that there should have been an option to re-install the firmware.
