Importing video help! Need Time and date to show up on screen...

SOMEBODY HAS TO HAVE AN ANSWER!
Okay, little background... I just got a new Mac book pro lab top. First time apple user. Difficult to learn, but learned fast. I am working with IMovie HD program, got the hang of it. I have a Cannon ZR50 camcorder, mini DVR tape. Camera has DV,S, USB, AV etc.. port outs. Hooked it up to lab top to import video to lab top to edit footage add sound etc... to later burn to DVD via IDVD program
BTW: I used a DV to Firewire cable to load up footage.
PROBLEM I AM HAVING. is when I'm importing my video to the computer, time and date stamp from my camcorder's screen does not show up on Mac screen. It gets lost when importing. How I view it on my camcorder (SHOWING TIME/DATE INFO ON FOOTAGE TAKEN) is how I would like to view it after importing it to lab top to later edit ad sound tracks etc... If I hook up my camcorder to a VHS or TV, to record on tape of footage taken, Time/Date stamp of footage shows up and records on tape with no problem.
I spoke with a lot of people on this issue. Everyone refers me to someone else. I can't get an answer for something in my eyes is so simple. They all said " Why would you want the time and date stamp to show up on your footage anyway" Well I would like it to be that way. Topic got down to three things that might solve problem. 1. Need better video/editing software. 2. Need Digital Analog capture device. 3. Need new camcorder. I've been working on this problem for a day or so. It's getting rough for help. Any information on this problem would be great. If you need any more info on my issue please do not hesitate to Pm me. Thanks

Hi SIZ4SK:
Welcome to discussions!
You can't do that with iMovie but you can with a bit of help from a third party...
What you really need is this free plugin from TriX Software:
DVFileDateCM

Let me know if this helps or not.

Help - EXIF time and date not working correctly

I am a long time Lightroom user and am trying out Aperture 2.1. I like it a lot but I just found a serious problem. I'm importing some old photos into my Aperture library, by referencing the files in an existing folder. The time and date for some of the files gets messed up. When I view these files in LR the time and date is fine. When I look at the "date created" in the Finder, the time is also messed up. For a photo shoot I did in Europe, the time for some images has the right date & time when converted to US time, but for some images it has the right date & time but as if it were in the US time zone. The files are all Nikon NEFs.
Also, when I view the files in the Aperture import dialog box they are in the right order. But when they get imported and I'm looking at them in Aperture they are in the wrong order.

OK, I give up. Turns out that after one successful import where the dates were ok, subsequent imports have the dates messed up again - whether in Quick or Normal mode. I also tried importing to a new collection, and also tried importing after rebuilding the library (via command-option click in the dock). Still hving this problem.

Can I display both time and date on iPhone 4s home screen?

The time and date is diplayed when I 'slide to open' but can I have the day / date and time displayed when the screen shows all the apps? Currently it just shows the time at the very top and considering I'm this is my first iPhone, I've become used to having the date and time constnatly displayed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A pity it can't be displayed elsewhere.
Thanks for your prompt help.

Startup screen shows ghost time and date

My iPhone 3Gs recently started showing a shadow time and date behind the actual time and date on the startup (unlock) screen. The narrow bar at the top also shows shadow settings that aren't the actual ones I'm using. I have downloaded the latest operating system, removed the sim card, and reset the settings but the shadows still remain. When I unlock the screen the shadow goes away. This started when I took the iPhone to Europe. Is there any way to get rid of these shadows?

You may have taken a screenshot of the locked screen and assigned that to your wallpaper. Try changing your wallpaper.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Y are not alones. Sometimes the camera fails.

If you can view the main home screen, try selecting "settings" on the far right, then choose recent at the bottom. If not, try just unplugging power for a few minutes, then plug in and try again. Keep in mind you'll need a wireless connection and there may be several updates. Hope this helps-

TS3297 when I press the iTunes button on my ipod touch I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store' . My wifi is working fine, I can connect to safari & you tube, no parental setting in place, and time and date are correct. Can anyone help please?

When I press the iTunes button on my ipod touch I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store' . My wifi is working fine, I can connect to safari & you tube, no parental setting in place, and time and date are correct. Can anyone help please? I have restored my ipod to factory settings and rest it.

I also tried moving the date forward by a year and then moving it back to normal and it still doesn't work. i can't find an automatic update of time zones on my itouch to turn this off.

Can't get past the time and date intial set up screen can anyone please help?

We purchased Apple TV last night, hooked everything up according to the directions, until we get to the Setting Time and Date Screen, which Apple TV- for more than 12 hours now, has been trying to establish. We've set the time zone both manually and automatically, I have emailed and tweeted Apple Support but no help so far, this is my last plea before I return it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

Overlay real time and date for video playback

I have made a mock CCTV film with Final Cut as an art piece and I want to play it with the current real time and date overlaid. Is there an application that does that?

there are several TIMECODE reader/titles avail ...
(best source for free plugins: http://www.fcp.co/forum/9-free-fcpx-plugins-and-templates )
or, 'camcorder mockups' with a blinking red dot etc ...
funny thing is: none of these plugins avail yet are able to display the sources 'real' TC, but only the projects TC (which, in my humble opinion, is pretty nonsense) … but. some plugins allow at last a manual off-set of the starting TC.
or …
FCPX bulit-in effect 'Night Vision' allows in its settings some 'data blah blah'

Open the Console app located in HD > Applications > Utilities
