.mov exif data problem - Time is off by 7 hours
I import my photos and videos taken on my iPhone using "Image Capture", then I sort them using Adobe Bridge CS5.
When I take a video (.mov file), the exif data shows the "Date Created" at 7 hours ahead of "Date File Modified". (ie: Date Created: 7pm, Date File Modified: 12pm)
The problem is - the correct time (that the quicktime movie was taken) is the "Date File Modified" time. So, if I should choose to rename that file...of course the "Date File Modified" time is changed.
Additionally, if I choose to rename all of my files (which I do) using the Date Created - the movies can be given the incorrect name. While sometimes this is not a problem (after all....12pm and 7pm ARE in the same day) if I create a video after 6pm, the "Date Created" ends up in tomorrow....follow?
Just about everything I've found on the internet says that videos don't have exif data....which is just silly....cause I'm looking at it and sorting my files by it...so....something is there!
On the other hand, if I could just CHANGE the exif data...I'd even be willing to do that...but I can't seem to find a MAC based exif changer for .mov files.
sigh.
I'm just exhausted. I would greatly appreciate any ideas.
Cheers!
Hi,
I'm having a similar problem, which I've been able to easily reproduce. It may be related, but I don't have a fix for it.
I live in Oslo, and just got back from a trip to Mumbai (which is 4.5 hours ahead of Oslo time). When I arrived in Mumbai, I used the Time Zone function on the phone to set the local time. When I got home, I imported photos and video into iPhoto and found that the photos I took on my phone in Mumbai showed the correct time and date, but the videos I took on the trip had a creation date listed in iPhoto that was equal to Oslo time (4.5 hours different from the photos) and not Mumbai time.
It almost seems like the camera app saves the photos based on the iPhones current Time Zone setting, but saves video with a creation date equal to the time zone the phone was originally set to.
I've been able to reproduce the bug a couple of times. The only fix I have for it is manually changing the time and date of the videos in iPhoto.
Could someone else try this out and see if they can reproduce the problem as well?

With my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2) the JPG times are always OK. But SOME MOV files have it +3hours off in my timezone.
I rename my JPGs and MOVs via Graphic Converter as YYYY-MMDD-hhmm-ss.mov according to their EXIF. Usually this works OK but I have to watch out those random MOV files that are +3hours off and rename them based on their creation date which is correct (that time might be the start/end of the clip while EXIF is the opposite but I digress...).
I have not yet seen any pattern or workflow that might cause the MOV EXIF to be incorrect. Anyone?
And is there a tool that can edit the EXIF and location data in MOV files? Graphic Converter can edit those only in JPGs. (The location data is sometimes incorrect in MOVs taken with my iPad mini whch lacks GPS and obviously didn't get correct location via the tethered iPhone -- I guess I should try to enable Bluetooth in both devices because that seems to give the location to the iPad(?).Hi,

EXIF date and time data issues
I have several thousand images shot during the same trip, on two different cameras. The date and on one of the cameras was not correct. I corrected the date on the images using PhotoInfo 2.0.1
The problem is that Bridge CS3 is not recognizing the new date on all of the images. Most of the images show and can be sorted in Bridge by the new, correct date. However, any image that I altered in Bridge (rotated, cropped, opened in ACR, rated, etc...) prior to correcting the date in PhotoInfo is not showing the new, corrected date in Bridge.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Anyone know of a solution?
I have been struggling with this issue for quite a while so any input will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.Hi,
I have the exact same problem - corrected the EXIF date and time and still wrong sorting. The thing is that Bridge sorts the files by "Creation Date", the date and time you also see in the Finder. So I found an application that can change that, too. But still Bridge sorts the files in the wrong order! Displays the old time, too.
After several times of emptying the cache, sorting is now ALL messed up (without any kind of logic), I don't know how to fix it.

Calculating Elapsed Time Is Off By One Hour
I am fully aware of many topics discussed in the various forums here related to the OS timezone and DST settings impacting how the JVM will process date/time calculations. I am running on Windows XP Professional, and I have checked and double checked the timezone setting, it is correctly set to Central Time and the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" checkbox is checked.
The code found at the end of this message clearly shows the problem for which I have yet to find an explination. I intended to be able to use a timer to update a string to show how much time has elapsed since the start of anything for which I need to know this information. As you can see by the results (example of which is listed after the code), the timezone and DST offsets seem to be properly retrieved by the JVM, but if this is the case, then why is the elapsed time value off by one hour?
I am looking for a solution/explanation involving the date/time classes, not a workaround whereby I end up extracting multiple time representation subsets and manipulating them myself. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

"Great. Now that we have gotten half way to the goal, please let me know how you intend to get that difference in miliseconds presented as a time value using any of the date/time classes Java has to offer. That way, I don't have to rewrite the code that puts it into a properly formatted String (the kind folks at Sun have already written that code). Using date/time classes to acheive this is what I attempted with my application. I added the milisecond adjustments for TZ and DST because if I didn't the reported elapsed time would be off by 6 hours, not just 1.
I am open to all suggestions. -
Can I move all data from time machine backup to another external drive & work from it?
Hi all, the harddrive on my macbook died (2nd time in a year) & I had a new one put in that's much smaller than the old one. Can I move everything from my time machine backup onto a seperate external drive and work directly from that on my laptop/imac? At the mo. I don't think time machine will recognise my computer as it's a new drive etc. Thanks Jenny.
What exactly do you want to do?
Is it that you wish to extract an older version of some documents to edit, but leave the original intact?
You can Restore an older version from TM and choose not to replace the current one.
Or, do you wish to install the OS on your new drive, and migrate all the information from the TM backup to the new isntallation?
EDIT: Ok, re-reading your question, I think macjack probably has the right idea.
However, see Pondini's Time Machine FAQ # 16 -
Time stamp off by two hours - in file name
When I import, I rename my files to include date and time in the filename, like so:
[IMG NR] - [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD] [HH].[MM].cr2
Here's the strange thing: If I do the renaming on import, LR3 consistently adds +2 to the hours. So an image that was taken at 06.49 will have 08.49 in the filename. And this has only happened to the photos imported with LR3 final. (Not sure about the betas, but the bug wasn't there in LR2.)
I've double checked the camera clock, and it is correct. I've checked the EXIF - which is also correct! And if I do the renaming after importing, LR3 gets it right.
I guess not many will have come across this bug, but if anyone out there has any ideas what might be going on I'm all ears.ISeward wrote:
Ok. Sounds like a pretty weird bug! Did someone by accident try to build
GMT conversion into the file renaming module ... and fail miserably,
considering it is adding hours, not subtracting?
LR has had problems with date / time since the LR1 beta. It drove me crazy and reduced me to making small dolls of all the LR engineers to stick pins in – sorry guys
I think LR seems to give preference to xmp data, probably because xmp belongs to Adobe. In digital photography the original standard EXIF, which is what cameras use, appears to be copied to xmp on import and then LR uses xmp info from then on.
I think the xmp spec adjusts the time to the local time zone and this action was built into LR. This “feature” has been largely eliminated but seems to have popped back up to bite us
Hm, well I don't know, I never write XMP. Esp. not on import. But your explanation sounds like the only reasonable one. -
My name is Caleb, I work in IT. I am trying to help a user, Karen, with her Outlook problem. When Karen sends an appointment to her husband Mike via Outlook Calender, he receives it in the wrong time zone.* Mike is also using Outlook. When Karen sends an
appointment to anyone else via Outlook Calender, they receive it in the correct time zone. When Karen sends an appointment via Webmail Calender, there is no issue at all with anyone. All Outlook accounts are running on Outlook 2010. Below is a list of appointments
sent, by what means, and the whether the date came out as correct or not:
From Karens Outlook to Caleb: Success
From Karens Outlook to Mike: Fail (shows as Pacific Time)
From Karens Outlook to Sarah: Success (Sarah is just another user)
From Karens Webmail to Caleb: Success
From Karens Webmail to Mike: Success
From Calebs Webmail to Mike: Success
From Calebs Outlook to Mike: Success
From Amys Outlook to Mike: Success (Amy is just another user)
From the above process of elimination, I have determined that the time zone problem only exists when an appointment is sent from Karen’s Outlook to Mike. I have verified that Karen’s date and time is set up correctly in Webmail, Outlook, as well as
her computer. I have not checked any of Mike’s date and time settings since he’s working at a different company. I’m wondering if the problem is on Mike’s end and not Karen’s. Then again, it works fine when Karen sends the appointment via Webmail, but not
Outlook - which leads me to believe its on Karen's end. Also, Mike did say Karen is the only one he has this problem with. I’m currently trying to get in contact with Mike’s IT person so I can have his date and time professionally checked.
My Thoughts:
Its as if Karen and Mike's Outlooks are communicating incorrectly, only to each other. Why is Mike receiving ONLY Karen's Outlook Appointments incorrectly? Karen creates the appointment, verifies that the date and time and time zone are
correct before sending, sends the appointment to Mike, and Mike receives it in the wrong time zone. Its as if his Outlook is configured to receive Karen's appointments in a different time zone - but such a setting doesn't even exist... or does it?
*The correct time zone we want is Central Time.Hi,
Based on the very logical troubleshooting steps above, the issue tends to be more on Karen's client.
Please check the Time Zone Settings on Karen's computer, I'm not sure what version of Windows she's using, just take Windows 8.1 for example:
Go to Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region -> Date and Time -> Change time zone -> Check if Karen has selected "Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time" option, try to select or unselect this option to send the meeting
request to see if this makes a difference.

Server Time and Local Time (Dreamweaver) Off By 1 Hour
How can I get Dreamweaver to show me the correct time stamp on my files on the server and my local machine? When I telnet into my server, the date and time stamp on all files is correct. My server time is set properly to ET (GMT-5). My local machine's time is properly set. I asked my sysadmin if PureFTP has any timezone settings and I was told by the sysadmin that all my server times and timezones are accurate. My sysadmin said that Drwamweaver is the culprit.
I have lived with this for a long time, but it is extremely annoying and I would like to fix it.
I searched high and low in the Dreamweaver option settings for some sort of timezone setting or offset -- found nothing.
Has anyone experienced a 1-hour out-of-sync issue between a file's actual time stamp on the server and what Dreamweaver shows it as in the Remote/Local Files View?
Thanks.During Daylight Savings Time.

Date and Time is off by 3 days - on "Automatic". Timezone is correct too..
Just today, my 3gs, started showing the wrong date/time. It's about 3 days behind.. so it's definitely not a "timezone" issue! There is no time on Earth that is that far back....that I am aware of anyway!
It's set to "automatic" in time properties. When set to manual, I can set the time just fine, but on automatic - it jumps right back to 3 days ago.
Time on my mac (sync computer) is fine.
Time on my friends iPhone is fine. (also same exact hardware, purchase date, sync computer, and 3G provider)Correct, phone gets time from cell tower. It also really only does it on initial handshake after having no signal (there is also a specific type of tower hand off that can trigger it but not often).
Your friend may be on a different tower or could of gotten his time set at a different time on a different tower.
To force a time sync with a tower you can just turn airplane mode on then off. Even if you and he are in same spot doesn't mean you both will get the same tower when you reconnect so you really cannot even test that way. You can drive someplace else far enough away and toggle and see if time gets set right. There are random towers (or repeaters) out there that have failed to keep time correct or failed getting updated by the carrier. -
How to move external hard drive (time machine) off airport extreme network?
For several years now, I've had an external hard drive connected to my airport extreme and it's servered as an awesome external back-up of my Macbook via Time Machine. However, now I've had to remove the external hard drive from my network (that's a whole other story). Anyway, when I connect the external hard drive to my MacBook, it doesn't recongize it as my Time Machine back-up. It is still looking for "My Book" on my network, which obviously doesn't exist anymore. Can I simply re-direct it to "my book" that is now connected via USB to my computer? Do I have to start over? If possible, I'd like to keep the back-ups I already had and simply continue with my new back-ups. Please advise! Thanks!
First thing to do is go to the Pondini tips page, then follow the link to his full TM site for all the details.

Import QT movie....time code off
I created a sequence in FCP and exported as a image seqeunce, I then uprezzed in photozoom and then imported to a QT file(23:98) and then imported into a new FCP project....now my audio wont sync back.....any ideas?
Hi 7493,
When you compress using Compressor, if you look in the Inspector window,
with the encoder tab selected, you will be able to manually set the start
timecode.
HOWEVER, if you are having this transcribed you will need to start your
footage in the same place every time, so it might be best to trim the
start of your FCP sequence to your true start point to maintain consistancy.

I have proble of "cannot connect to itunes store. After I have updated the new software ios6, the problem arised in one of my mobile. In the second mobile, I didnot updated the software.Today in the morning, the problem ariesed in that mobile as well. I cannot open the itunes, don't have access to apple store . I tried to solve the problem like going to setting, general, Date and time, automatically off, keeping one year ahead date. I tried all the possible options I could get from the googel. How do I get rid of this problem?
No - I have not tried other routers on my network.
What I meant was I could use my itouch on other users wireless networks without any issues.
I'll update the routers DNS to try using Google's 8.8.8.8 instead of my ISP.
Is the issue DNS performance using local ISP -or are there other possibel isues when using local isp DNS? -
Not able to adjust Date and Time
For about a month now I haven't been able to manually adjust the time and date. Everything else on my iPod works fine... but when I click to change time and date it just goes black for about one second then goes back to the main menu. I don't think anything has been added to it that is unsafe.. but to be sure I scanned all my folders that are on my iPod and then scanned my entire computer. Nothing came up in the scan.
I do have the most up to date version of the software that is out.
It currently says that it is Friday, February 23, 2007 at 5:33pm. It changed it's time and date on it's own... I can't correct it.
So if anyone knows how to fix this please tell me how.I am having a similar problem. The time is off by 12 hours exactly (ahead). When I touch date and time, screen goes black for less than a second and then reverts to main screen with all of the icons. I have first generation touch and just noticed this problem. All of the software is up to date. Any one know of a fix for this?

Not able to adjust date and time - format does not permit
Hello,
I just scanned one old photo as a JPG and then imported it to Aperture 2, I renamed the file 1976-07-01_01.jpg based on the date the pic was taken. Then I tried to adjust the date and time in Aperture but got this error window:
"Unable to adjust master file
Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the master file "pic.jpg" because it has a format that does not permit date modification."
What next?I am having a similar problem. The time is off by 12 hours exactly (ahead). When I touch date and time, screen goes black for less than a second and then reverts to main screen with all of the icons. I have first generation touch and just noticed this problem.
