Original date showing is wrong by two years!

Hi,
I seem to have a big (and very weird) problem with dates in Lightroom. This relates - for the moment at least - to images dating back ten years, to when I had my first digital camera, a Nikon D100.
See attached image. My belief is that the photo in question, one of many, was taken at around 2pm on the afternoon of 17th April 2004. Note the following from the image (EXIF data):
- The "date/time original" shows 17/04/2002 13:58:48
- The "date/time digitized" shows 17/04/2004 23:15:29
- The "date/time" shows 17/04/2004 23:24:17
The same image in Windows explorer (see second image) shows:
> Date 17/04/2004 23:15
> Date Taken 17/04/2004 23:15
> Date Imported 17/04/2004 22:24
Given the subject matter of the image, it is 100% certain this image was in fact taken in April 2004.
How can it be, then, that the "original" shows a date two years earlier? Why would Lightroom use this field (the ONLY one showing 2002 when every other shows 2004)? And why does Explorer correctly show the date but Lightroom does not - surely if anything one might expect the opposite?
This is urgently needed to be resolved as I am making a photo book for my wife's 40th and, as it turns out, I am putting all the photos in all the wrong years!
Thanks in advance,
Alastair
[FOOTNOTE: Forum post editor would not allow me to insert images but hope you can figure it out from the text]

Thanks
So, getting weirder, I now discover that in some photo sequences the date is right in some and wrong in others. Do I need to conclude that my D100 was faulty or doing something mad? It just seems so random...
The original troublesome image was taken (and processed) in 2004. Another set of related images, probably taken on another date later in 2004, show all three EXIF dates above as 2002.
The reason for being certain these are 2004 images is they relate to my wife's "bachelorette" flat in South London which she found in April 2004 and bought in July the same year.
Is there literally no way I can determine what the real date is / was / should have been?
Thanks again

I need help! My iPad2's stubbornly showing the wrong month, day, year and time.

This happened after I updated my new iPad2 to the iOS 5.0.1. The calendar shows a date way ahead into the future. Ex. Today is Dec. 31, 2011, 6am, Manila time but its showing Jan. 1, 2555 BE, 8am. It just got my location right. I tried resetting it at Settings but it keeps on going back to the wrong date, 2555 BE. I turned off the automatic update, and manually set the time, but It seems to insist the error. I sync this iPad with iTunes to a Windows 7 PC, it has the correct date, year and time zone. I've been following a similar thread here but I could not find it now. Please give advice that I could do on my own first before I seek Apple care coz its almost party time here. Thanks and Happy New Year!

I got several advice from other Apple users such as: restart the iPad by pressing the home button and the sleep/wake simultaneously, turn off the auto-update of date and time, make sure it's in Gregorian, sync with a computer with the right date and time and restore. I did all of the above except restore but it didn't help. I thought I should restore to the previous iOS. When I tried to restore, I learned that it'll still be in iOS 5.0.1, and since I also couldn't back up to iCloud (which freaked me out), I chickened out of it and called the nearest Apple Store. They were very kind to help me for free.
Before I went to the store, I backed up my iPad to PC first to keep my paid apps at least. Then the Apple guy checked the problem himself and he restored it in their iTunes. After the restore, the month, day, time and year were correct. When I got home, I just synced with the previous back-up. All my apps were re-installed, my games were intact but my documents saved in some apps (like Documents to Go, PDF Expert and CHM+) were gone.
The Apple guy said, I might have encountered an Internet problem while I was updating hence the bug. I was the first case they've encountered. But they couldn't explain what the BE stands for... Before Extinction? Hope the experts shed light on this to avoid it coz I wasn't able to use my iPad or even back-up to iCloud.

I have a Mac Book (2006) All my saved emails for two and a half years have the same date. How do I get the original dates back?

From the "date and time" I tried to drag the month and year to my menu bar. It did not stay, so I did it several times, but to no avail. I closed the window and went back to my Thunderbird email only to find that the date I tried to use became the date in the "date received" column of all of my emails from back to 2011. I changed the date a few days later, and then the date changed on all of my emails. I would like to undo whatever I did to the dates so that the emails show when they were originally received. I did manage to get "the order received" which helps a little, but I cannot see the original dates.
I have checked "Set date and time automatically" but it doesn't change the dates on my saved emails.

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.

My new macbook pro (lion) iCal has been showing the wrong date?

My new macbook pro (lion) iCal has been showing the wrong date for stored events - even though i have put the appointment in on the right date when I look it up a week or so later it has changed?
I think it might be showing 2011 date? How can i fix this and do I have back-up of my original dates?

Good to hear . Happy computing!

Find the difference between two dates for the specific month and year

Hi,
I have two dates, start date is 30/12/2012 and end date is 04/01/2013. Using datediff I found the difference of days between two dates. But I find the no of days in January 2013. ie output is 4 instead of 6. I input month and year to find the no of days
for that date. In this case I input Jan 2013. How can I sql this ?

I don't understand how most of the answers provided here not analytically solving the problem with many cases possible.
First let me understand you:
You have 2 dates range and you want to calculate day range for specific month and year between the original date range.
declare @for_month int = 1 --January
declare @for_year int = 2013
declare @StartDate date = '2012-12-20'
declare @EndDate date = '2013-01-04'
SELECT
CASE
WHEN (DATEPART(MONTH, @StartDate) = @for_month and DATEPART(MONTH, @EndDate) = @for_month) and ((DATEPART(YEAR, @StartDate) = @for_year or DATEPART(YEAR, @EndDate) = @for_year)) THEN
DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate,@EndDate)
WHEN (@StartDate < cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (@EndDate between (cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date))) THEN
DATEDIFF(DAY, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, -1, @EndDate)-1, 0),@EndDate)
WHEN (@EndDate > cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date)) and (@StartDate between (cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date))) THEN
DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate,DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, @StartDate) + 1, 0))) + 1
WHEN ((DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate, cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date)) >= 0) and (DATEDIFF(DAY, cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date), @EndDate) >= 0)) THEN
DATEDIFF(DAY, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as datetime), DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as datetime)) + 1, 0))) + 1
ELSE
0
END as [DD]
I don't know how you calculate day range between 01/01/2013 and 04/01/2013
is 4, it is actually is 3 but if that is the case, you can add 1 from the condition.

Many original dates of photos are missing or wrong

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?

Download and place this app in the Dock: EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X. Then drag some of the problem photos original files from the iPhoto library package onto the app in the Dock. You'll get this window where you can check the Image Generated date:
If it's the same as what iPhoto is showing then the file is incorrect. The date can be corrected in iPhoto with the Photos ➙ Adjust Date and Time menu option:

Why has the "date received" has been the same for two years?

On my mail programme, all email sent and received has used the date I first set up Mail two years ago. Anyone else had this problem? Is it curable?

The date & time that Mail shows in the Date Received column is the date & time that appears in the latest (topmost) message’s Received header (which you can see doing View > Message > Long Headers), and is set by the recipient’s incoming mail server.
The date & time that Mail shows in the Date Sent column is the date & time that appears in the message’s Date header and is set by the sender’s mail client.
Isn’t that what you observe?

I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Urgent BEX Report Showing the Wrong data

Hi Experts,
In my Cube the data is available curreclty, but where as my bex report showing the wrong data.
like xeample:
Infocube
Material               Plant    Year    Units Qty
000000000002001032     003     2006     BAG   1,500
But in bex i took the same selection's, but it displays as
000000000002001032     003     2006     BAG   2
i am Unable to trace this
any help plzzz
Anil

Hi,
since Quantity(units PC??) can not be in decimals,Bex will round off 1.5 to 2 in bex report.
Use NODIM function i.e. NODIM(Qty) instead of Quantity.
NODIM function is available under data functions of Formula builder.
From context menu fo KF structure>new formula>NODIM(Qty).
or
try by setting Decimal places to 2 or 3 in KF properties in Bex Query.
hope this helps.

I have a new IPAD4 which has synced pictures i selected but not music or films i selected from itunes library? I have had an account for years and never had issues syncing with iphone or ipod? when i attempt ipad the data shows and it cycles but nothing?

show the data shows whe i selet for sync (i have ticked sync only ticked icon) and selected two playlists - the data usage shows an extra 3.2 gb off my 32g ipad and the movies show up purple on the data usage bar, i press apply / sync it takes 20mins to go through 5 stages - never once do i see a song title or number in the update display. then when it finishes the data usage bar goes back to the lower amount before i tried to add the music and movies to my ipad?? The only thing that i have managed to move if pictures??
Im confused, ive always got on fine with moving, updating and syncing my iphone, ipod touch, have done this the same way but NO music or films
when i go through the summary section it says i have selected 757 songs (off two playlists) and i movie (from a digital copy via itunes), they show in usage bar b4 sync but then after sync nothing! i have tried both wi fi sync and normal, i have the lastest updates and CANT FIGURE THIS OUT
When i set up the ipad out the box the other day it asked whether i wanted a NEW INSTALL or RESTORE FROM ICLOUD BACKUP (presumbly off iphone), I choose restore, it then downloaded all the apps and web history/bookmarks etc, although it took about 8 hours to do it which i thought was odd?!
Ive spent £500 on this and if i cant put my msuc or movies on it that makes it a very exspensive web browser, APPLE this should be easier .......! please help - im no techno noob beither grand master, just your average user so im sure people might know what to do... i freakin hope so!

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

I am attempting to have cells use data from a selective month from the year before so that I can show actual from the prio. years each month.

I am attempting to have cells use data from a selective month from the year before so that I can show actual from the prio. year each month. I need to create a spreedsheet using the the Acutlas from the year-to-date and from last year-to-date, but need to report each month.

Hi Tony,
Answering your question would be easier given a screen shot of the source table and one of what you want the summary table to look like.
Is the data you want for each month in a single cell o the source table, or does the summary table need to collect February's data (for example) from several cells and do some math with those numbers before presenting them on the summary table?

My iphone 3gs has started showing the wrong time and date. All was fine until this afternoon when it changed. My apps have the right time and date. However the world clock is wrong. I have to turn off the automatic time setting to get the right time.

My iphone is showing the wrong time and date. All was well until sometime this afternoon when it changed... to Nov 5 (2 days prior to today), and about 9 hours and some minutes before the actual time. The world clock for my time zone shows the same wrong date and time. My calender shows the same wrong date and time. The phone can not find my time zone any more. The only fix I found was to turn off the automatic setting for time. What is happening? Ideas?

just sorted mine went to
settings-mail,contacts,calender-timezone support
then turned it off then on tapped time zone and typed london
this did sort mine

MacBook Air, 13", Mid 2013:
On June 10, 2013, Apple released an updated MacBook Air in the same form factor as the 2012 model during the company's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). The 11-inch and 13-inch models have a minimum standard 4GB RAM, with a maximum configuration of 8GB. Both models are powered by the Haswell ULT 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processors with Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz and 1.7GHz Dual-Core i7 with Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz option available. Each model has a 128GB configuration and a 256GB configuration available, with the 256GB model being upgradeable to 512GB SSD.
1.3 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
MacBook Air, 13", Early 2014:
On April 29, 2014 Apple released an updated MacBook Air featuring faster processors and better battery life. The standard configurations also saw a price drop in most regions.
1.4 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Late 2013:
At the Apple Special Event on October 22, 2013, Apple announced that it had updated the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. Both versions feature the new Intel Haswell chipset.
2.4 or 2.6 GHz (Core i5) or 2.8 GHz (Core i7)
MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Mid 2014:
On July 29, 2014 Apple announced updated prices and processors for their Haswell Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
2.6 or 2.8 GHz (Core i5) or 3.0 GHz (Core i7)
I would go for the Pro Retina since the display is much better.

Date Picker - show specific month of perticaular year

Hi Experts,
I am using sam.m.DatePicker control. By default date picker show current month-year when user open date picker. I want to show specific month of specific year when date picker is open.
for eg: In my app, if student appearing for next year exam(say 2016) then when he click on date picker it should show April of 2016 instead of april of 2015. I don't want to set date by default. Student should select that date manually.
Is it possible to show specific month and year for date picker when it open.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
you can also give a default date of the first date of that month.
Why you are not using that?
var datePicker = new sap.m.DatePicker({
                                        valueFormat: "yyyy-MM-dd",
                                        displayFormat: "long",
                                               value: "2014-03-26"
