Image dates are incorrect

I imported images from the camera CF card and the year was changed to 1903 on all the images. The system date and the camera dates were confirmed as correct. What's happened? I reformatted the CF card and will try importing new images today.
Recent convert to the Mac so still getting acquainted.
Thanks

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
I can't really explain why it went to 1903. However iPhoto has a date/time changing function. If you select all the photos in an album then change the date/time of one of them to be correct it will change all the others relative to that one photo.

  • IPhoto 11 Faces and Dates are incorrect when synced to iPad/iPod

    iPhoto 11, "Faces" and file creation dates appear to work perfectly when viewed within iPhoto 11 on my MacBook Pro. However, a few dozen Faces and creation dates appear incorrectly and out of chronological sequence when viewed on my iPad or iPod. I have rebuilt my iPhoto 11 library several times and re-synced to the iPad/iPod, but the problem persists. Anyone having the same issue or happen to know of a solution? Thanks in advance.

    iPhoto Version 9.5.1 (902.17)
    It was moved to the library by being imported from an NTFS external hard drive, which has now been reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled), the iPhoto library was originally located on the built in SSD drive, but is now located on an external hard drive, due to capacity limitations.
    I am seeing the incorrect face orientations when I view the faces in the faces view of iPhoto, when I go onto a person, some are incorrect orientation.
    But when I click on the files, they are correct.

    They are also incorrect using photo screen savers.

  • ICalendar dates are incorrect

    My iCalendar month shows June 2011 yet the dates are not correct for this year. It is like this for every month. For example, it thinks June 18 2011 is a Monday. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Is the calendar synchronised with anything?
    What settings have you for Region and Dates in System Preferences/Language & Text/Formats?
    What Time Zone settings have you in System Preferences/Date & Time and in iCal?
    (I've no idea what the problem is so just poking around to see what happens)

  • Images sizes are incorrect in CS6

    I was working on some images I had previously worked on in LR2. Cropped them to 11 x 14. Exported as DNG and resized to 11 x 14. Opened PS6 Beta and It showed them as approxiamtely 8 x 10???  Went back into LR2 and reset crop to origianl size (shot ona DNikon D300). Exported as original size and opened PS6. Now the size is approximately 9 x 14????
    I wnat 11 x 14.
    What is going on?
    Thanks
    Lee

    Ok, let me go over step by step what happens.
    1) Open file in LR2. Image shot on D300. Size is orignial size.
    2) Crop image to 11 x 14
    3) Export to folder Export actions set to resize to 11 x 14, DNG format. Should make no change but just in case. at 300 dpi the file size it 10.2 MB now.
    4) Open DNG image in PS6.0 on my iMac. Data below image is Adobe RGB, (1998) 16 bit, 2338 by 2975 (7.0MPP) 300DPI
    5) Click on Open image with no editing done.
    6) Select Iamge Size from toolbar at top. Image size is 2338 pixels by 2975 pixels. Document size is Width =  7.793 inches  Height = 9.917 inches Resolution = 300 Pixels/inch. Canvas size is the same. What happened to 11 x 14?
    7) Now go to the iMac desktop and copy DNG image to flash drive and move to Windows machine with CS5.0 open in PS 5.0.
    8) Now click on Open image with no editing as in PS 6
    9)  Same results.
    When I set crop to 11 x 14 it shows I do a full frame crop, nothing left out.
    So PS shows the iamge size (and canvas) size as 7.793 x 9.917 inches (my close to 8 x 10).
    Why does it not show 11 x 14? Aslo, if the image size is 7.793 by 9.917, why does a crop set to 11x14 outline the image precisely with nothing cropped out?

  • Accessing an Apple account when the e-mail address and birth date are incorrect??

    In updating to IOS yesterday I have stupidly ended up with three Apple accounts (It said I needed one with an e-mail address, there was my cloud account and my account I have used for years to purchase)
    I basically messed up and thought I could create a fresh account with my e-mail address and still cotinue to download updates for my previous purchases.

  • Changing image dates

    The image dates are wrong on the pictures I've imported into aperature. The reason for this is that I screwed up my iPhoto library royally. Is there a way to change the image date using batch change?

    not directly thru aperture ...
    but there is a great little tool, timature ...

  • Images (w/correct meta data) are in catalog and on disk, but LR 5.7 considers them new on Import

    For reasons explained below, I want to try to re-import all my images into LR and hope that none/few are in fact considered new and are imported.  Yet, for some folders, LR is apparently unable to detect that my source images are already in the catalog, and are on disk, and that the source file meta data matches what LR knows about the images.  When I click an image in LR and Show in Finder, I do see the imported image on disk.  I can edit the image in the Develop module.  So, it seems good, but all is not well.   Sorry for the long post here, but I wanted to provide as much info as I could, as I am really seeking your help, which I'd very much appreciate.
    Here are some screen shots that illustrate the problem:
    Finder contents of the original images
    LR folder hierarchy
    an image as seen in LR
    Finder content of external LR copy of images
    import showing 10 "new" photos
    The original images ... (I'm not sure why the file date is April 2001 but the actual image date is January 2011; I may have just used the wrong date on the folder name?)
    The LR folder hierarchy ...
    An image as seen in LR ...
    The external folder containing the images in the LR library
    But on import of the original source folder, LR sees 10 "new" photos ...
    I tried "Synchronize Folder ..." on this particular folder, and it simply hangs half-way through as seen in the screen shot below.   IS THIS AN LR BUG?   This is really odd, since "Synchronize Folder ..." on the top-level folder completes quickly.
    I have a spreadsheet of of the EXIF data for the original files and those created by LR.  (I extracted this info using the excellent and free pyExifToolGui graphical frontend for the command line tool ExifTool by Phil Harvey.)   Almost all of the Exif data is the same, but LR has added some additional info to the files after import, including (of course) keywords.  However, I would not have expected the differences I found to enter into the duplicate detection scheme.  (I didn't see a way to attach the spreadsheet to this posting as it's not an "image".)
    I'm running LR 5.7 on a 27" iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2, having used LR since LR2.  I have all my original images (.JPEGs and RAWs of various flavors) on my internal drive on the Mac.   To me this is like saving all my memory cards and never re-using them.   Fortunately, these files are backed up several ways.   I import these images (copying RAWs as DNG) into LR with a renaming scheme that includes the import number, original file creation date and original file name.   There should be one LR folder for each original source file folder, with the identical folder name (usually a place and date).  I store the LR catalog and imported images on an external drive.  Amazingly and unfortunately my external drive failed as did it's twin, same make/size drive that I used as a backup with Carbon Copy Cloner.   I used Data Rescue 4 to recover to a new disk what I thought was almost all of the files on the external drive.
    So, I thought all would be well, but, when I tried "Synchronize Folder" using the top-level folder of my catalog, the dialog box appeared saying there were over 1000 "New" photos that had not been imported.  This made be suspicious that I had failed to recover everything.   But actually things are much worse than I thought..   I have these counts of images:
    80,0061 files in 217 folders for my original source files (some of these may be (temporary?) copies that I actually don't want to import into LR)
    51,780 files in 187 folders on my external drive containing the LR photo library
    49,254 images in the top-level folder in the LR catalog (why different from the external file count?)
    35,332 images found during import of the top-level folder containing original images
    22,560 images found as "new" by LR during import
    1,074 "new" images reported by Synchronize Folder ... on the top-level folder in the catalog; different from import count
    Clearly things are badly out of sync.   I'd like to be sure I have all my images in LR, but none duplicated.   Thus, I want to try to import the entire library and have LR tell me which photos are new.  I have over 200 folders in LR.  I am now proceeding to try importing each folder, one at a time, to try to reconcile the differences and import the truly missing images.  This will be painful.  And it may not be enough to fully resolve the above discrepancies.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  I'd really appreciate your help!
    Ken

    Thanks for being on the case, dj!   As you'll see below, YOU WERE RIGHT!      But I am confused.
        1. Does the same problem exist if you try to import (not synchronize) from that folder? In other words, does import improperly think these are not duplic
    YES.  Import improperly thinks they are NOT duplicates, but they are in fact the same image (but apparently not the EXACT SAME bytes on disk!)
        2. According to the documentation, a photo is considered a duplicate "if it has the same, original filename; the same Exif capture date and time; and the same file size."
    This is my understanding too.
        3. Can you manually confirm that, for an example photo, that by examining the photo in Lightroom and the photo you are trying to synchronize/import, that these three items are identical?
    NO, I CAN'T!  The ORIGINAL file name (in the source folder) is the SAME as it was when I first imported that folder.  That name is used as part of the renaming process using a custom template. However, the file SIZES are different.    Here is the Finder Get Info for both files.  Initially, they appeared to be the same SIZE, 253KB, looking at the summary. But, if you look at the exact byte count, however, the file sizes are DIFFERENT: 252,632 for the original file and 2252,883 for the already-imported file:
    This difference alone is enough to indicate why LR does not consider the file a duplicate.
    Furthermore, there IS one small difference in the EXIF data regarding dates ... the DateTimeOriginal:
                                                                                                     CreateDate              DateTimeDigitized                    DateTimeOriginal              FileModifyDate                              ModifyDate
    ORIGINAL name: P5110178.JPG                                     2001:05:11 15:27:18    2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00        2001:01:17 11:29:00        2011:01:17 11:29:00-07:00       2005:04:24 14:41:05  
    After LR rename:  KRJ_0002_010511_P5110178.JPG    2001:05:11 15:27:18    2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00        2001:05:11 15:27:18        2011:01:17 11:29:02-07:00       2005:04:24 14:41:05
    So ... now I see TWO reasons why LR doesn't consider these duplicates.   Though the file NAME is the same (as original), the file sizes ARE slightly different.  The EXIF "DateTimeOriginal" is DIFFERENT.   Therefore, LR considers them NOT duplicates.
         4a. With regards to the screen captures of your images and operating system folder, I do not see that the filename is the same; I see the file names are different. Is that because you renamed the photos in Lightroom (either during import or afterwards)?
    I renamed the file on import using a custom template ...
            4b. Can you show a screen capture of this image that shows the original file name in the Lightroom metadata panel (it appears when the dropdown is set to EXIF and IPTC)?
    SO ....
    The METADATA shown by LR does NOT include the ORIGINAL file name (but I think I have seen it displayed for other files?).  The File SIZE in the LR metadata panel (246.96 KB) is different from what Finder reports (254 KB).  There are three "date" fields in the LR metadata, and five that I've extracted from the EXIF data.   I'm not sure which EXIF date corresponds to the "Data Time" shown in the LR metadata.
    I don't understand how these differences arose.   I did not touch the original file outside LR.   LR is the only program that touches the file it has copied to my external drive during import.  (though it was RECOVERED from a failed disk by Data Rescue 4),
    NOW ...
    I understand WHY LR considers the files different (but not how they came to be so).  The question now is WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT?   Is there any tool I can use to adjust the original (or imported) file's SIZE and EXIF data to match the file LR has?  Any way to override or change how LR does duplicate detection?
    Thanks so very much, dj.   Any ideas on how to get LR to ignore these (minor) differences would be hugely helpful.

  • Why does Photoshop produce images that are from source data Photoshop can't read?

    I am getting this message "This image was generated from source data that Photoshop cannot read.  That data will be discarded."  When I open the image the data that has been discarded consists of the layers that were created in Photoshop.  I don't understand why Photoshop can't read data created in Photoshop.

    Thank you for the info.  I only have one version of Photoshop on my computer.  The one I created the images with won't open them.  However, I did have a version of Lightroom on my computer that I removed today.  It was newer than my version of Photoshop.  I am hoping that without Lightroom on my computer I will not have any more problems. (cross all my fingers)  The images that are corrupted are missing data.  The Metadata is missing and the layers are missing from the files. If the metadata is missing they won't open at all and if the layers are missing they will open up flattened, some of them are corrupted with data and color switched every which way in the image.

  • When I open up "originals" in my iPhoto library, the dates are not there or are incorrect.  I see date created and date modified, not the original date the picture was taken.  How can I find the accurate original dates?

    I have had a lot of issues with my iPhoto program. After many trips to the Genius Bar and numerous hours with phone techs, I am now rebuilding my library, starting with a backup of it from before the corruption. When I "get info" of a picture, I notice the original date the picture was taken (most important for me), is not there or is wrong.  When I check package contents of my iPhoto library, the originals show up, but most (not all) of the dates are wrong.  Can anyone tell me how or where I might find the original dates?

    I did post to the iPhoto forum and am hoping for an answer soon. I don't want to continue rebuilding my iphoto library if I can do it using originals. My library has 45,000 pictures...a huge job!

  • I can change Image Date, but file now has 2 dates associated with it!

    I have been able to successfully change the image date of the file using Timeature (I need to do this for a handful of images that have an incorrect date), as recommended elsewhere on the discussion board.
    What happens now is that:
    1. The metadata inspector shows the Image Date field as 9/1/02 12:00:00 PM PDT
    (this is correct - I set it to be that date and time, so that is great)
    2. When I click on the "EXIF" button at the bottom of the inspector (which allows me to choose what fields appear in the metadata inspector), the Image Date field is 2/1/04 9:51 AM GMT
    (this is the time the photo was taken, but it is what I am trying to change)
    So I now seem to have 2 image dates associated with the file.
    Any thoughts on how to "clear" the one I am trying to change?
    Thanks!

    Yeah, and worse the date set by Timeature is not set in the EXIF data so if you try to export the version the date you set won't go with the JPG. Even worse, I'm pretty sure the export will have the original photo's EXIF date, if it had one. You can get export to put the version date in the file name with the right export options.
    Export should really allow you to set the EXIF date on versions you export. One reason I bought Aperture was to be able to manage metadata so well that I wouldn't be beholden to it forever. Figured paying the big purchase price for Aperture was my ransom. We'll see in the next few versions if they fix this.
    The two dates are 1) the date in the per-version metadata and 2) the EXIF date in the original JPG. It doesn't modify the EXIF date in the original because Aperture doesn't modify the original by convention. Not updating EXIF data in the original jpg is probably right (IF they would provide a way to export all the version meta data into EXIFs).
    I've resorted to using some command line freeware jhead to set the EXIF dates before import for most of the stuff. You have to do that before the import though because once imported Aperture seems to ignore the EXIF date save for displaying it (to confuse you :-)).
    Since I don't actually care that the original JPG is preserved for me it would be nice to have a utility that read the date out of the latest version meta data and set the EXIF date on the original. That would compliment Timeature (which I find really really tedious and slow).
    Please correct me if I got this wrong!

  • When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

    Problem:
    When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
    Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
    Symptoms:
    1)   Sync:  It’s not completing the sync.  Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options.  I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
    waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
    backing up (step 2 of 7)
    preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
    determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
    preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
    importing photos (step 6 of 7)
    waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
    syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
    canceling sync
    apple icon
    2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone.  All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto.  All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
    3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list.  If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes.  But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
    Other Potential Pertinent Info:
    The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago).  Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed.  I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive.  Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself.  However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive.  All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
    Settings/Status:
    MacBook Air
    OSX v. 10.9
    iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
    iPhone iOS 7.0.4
    iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
    Summary Tab
    Backups (This Computer)
    Options
    Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
    Sync only checked songs and videos
    Photos Tab
    Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
    Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
    Albums – 9 are selected

    You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

  • IPhoto imports photos with wrong dates even if the dates are fine on the camera

    Hi!
    When I import photos with iPhoto, sometimes it imports them with wrong dates, even the dates are fine on the camera. It puts dates such as 2032. Does anyone know how can I fix that. As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
    Thanks!

    well that is very confusing since if the date is correct on the camera it will be correct in iPhoto
    and as to
    As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
    Try looking through your iPhto menus - two commands - adjust time and date and batch change time and date - asjust is used to correct incorrect dates like a comera setting -   Batch change for missing dates like with scans

  • How do I load a picture from the clipboard (either Windows clipboard or Labview clipboard) into image data that can then be processed in Labview?

    I want to load a picture from the Windows clipboard (and if not possible, then from the Labview clipboard) into actual numerical image data so that it can be processed in lab view. When I'm at the main screen where I can add controls, I see a section of controls called "Vision" in the tool bar where all the different controls can can be added from. When I go to the control called "Image" and put that on my form, and then look at the flowchart/blockdiagram programing window to see what inputs and outputs it has, I only see one output, and no inputs. And when I right click on it, I see NO way to load an image into the Image control. PLEASE help me.
    Message Edited by Ben321 on 11-09-2008 04:32 PM

    Hi Ben,
    National Instruments has an image processing software called Vision and although I am not completely sure, I think the controls that you found in the control pallet are used in conjunction with the software. Depending on what kind of image processing you want to conduct in LabVIEW, you might want to consider purchasing that product.
    If cost is an issue, there are functions in LabVIEW which allows you to take in image files and process them. However, please keep in mind that the capabilities are limited.
    Images should be loaded onto LabVIEW not via the clipboard but through loading it from folders or directories. (There might be a way to and so if you find a way please let me know! I would like to know myself =D) If you open the function pallet by right clicking on the block diagram, in the programming folder you should find a directory called "Graphic and Sound". There, you'll find functions in which allows you to process images.
     In the "Graphic Type" directory there should be a function called Read JPEG file.vi. There are also others which allows you to read png and bmp files. Please note that there are functions which write as well. Set a file path on the block diagram and inside the "Grahic and Sound" there is a "Picture Function" directory and inside there, there should be a function called "Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi" That changes the image into a format where you can process on LabVIEW. Inside the "Picture Function" directory there are several functions which allows you to process the specified image. Play around with it and see how it goes. And don't forget to Write the file in the end to save any changes.
    I hope this helps
