PSE 11 - Photo dates wrong

Upgraded from PSE 10 to PSE 11
I still have my catalog sorted by Newest First, but half my pictures are scrambled! The date is now wrong on thousands of pictures, and they are (consequently) out of sequence. HELP!

Can you elaborate your issue? It will be good if you can post a snapshot and then explain your issue for single image.

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Is there a way of changing photos' dates all at once?

Hi,
I imported a number of photos taken within one week into iPhoto - some of them were assigned a wrong date by my camera which made the last photos the first ones in the folder.
I know I can change the photos' dates manually one by one, but is there any workaround to select multiple photos and change their dates simultaniously? I couldn't find any automator action...anybody who knows a hint?
Thanks

Hi Terence,
thanks for the reply. It does work. Could have figured it out myself, I guess...but I always marked the photos and then tried to change their dates in this little information box in the lower left corner (which doesn't work).
Best regards

Changed photo dates--how to fix

I bought a Mac and transferred all files. Now all of the photo dates have been changed to the date I transferred the files! Some of them shot on an actual camera came out OK, but almost all of them that had originally be shot on a cellphone had the dates changed.
Any ideas on how to correct or has Mac just screwed me. I can't backtrack all the dates.

Details help - what version of iPhoto - of the OS?
In any case the Mac has not "screwed" you - obviously for the photos that were properly formed everything is ok -
Some of them shot on an actual camera came out OK,
iPhoto (like all capable photo managers) gets the dates from the EXIF data put into the photo by the camera and if the phone is properly storing photo by the phone
You can correct dates using the Batch change date time command if the EXIF data is nonexistent and using the adjust change date/time command if the EXIF data is wrong (like a camera being set incorrectly)

How can I port my PSE with the data to a new PC? [was:Jeanné]

Wie kann ich mein PSE mit den Daten auf den neuen PC portieren?

Translations by Microsoft® Translator
The only way you can do this by installing the PSE on your new machine using the DVD and the serial number you must have bought. Once this is done, you might want to copy all your photos from the old machine on to a flash drive and then copy them from flash drive to your Pictures folder and let PSE finds them and catalogs them automatically.
This method is ideal if your haven't created very sophisticated catalog in your old machine because you may also want to transfer the old catalog on to your new PC so that you don't have to re-create the catalog from scratch. If you want to transfer the catalog as well then on your old PC launch PSE Organizer and go to:
File >> Backup Catalog
This is also saved on the removable flash drive
Now go to the new PC and launch Organizer and do almost the same thing except:
File >> Restore Catalog
Now this should almost get you started.
Good luck.

Mac storage filled with "Photo" data, but no photos in iPhoto?

I bought my Macbook Air last May, and I have filled it with around 1000 songs, and I had around 2,500 photos in iPhoto. I checked my storage because I wanted to import more photos to iPhoto, but it would not work. The message, "Can not complete import because there was a problem with a photo" or a message at the top on the iPhoto import tab that was along those lines. So, I checked my storage and it said that I only had around 5 GB left, and on my camera I had 22GB of data. So I bought a external hard drive and moved ALL of my photos over to the hard drive to make space. Now I have 20 photos left in my iPhoto, and I checked my Mac Storage, and it says I still have 30GB of photo data, and 50GB of movie data. 36GB are free out of 121GB when I look at my storage info under "About this Mac" I have cleared iPhoto as well as iMovie. Does anyone have any idea where I can find the files that are taking up all my storage? Thanks for any help!

Again what exactly did you do?
the correct way to move your iPhoto library (you can not move just photos) is
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Calendar date wrong with monthly appointments in O...

After 2 or 3 Nokia software upgrades, this problem STILL isn't fixed, even after multiple reports. Why?!?
Looking at the other related posts on this topic, it sure seems to be related to more than just my phone model (6085).
Using Vista (Enterprise), Outlook 2007, and the latest Nokia PC Suite (7.1.26.0), recurring monthly calendar appointments are wrong on the phone. I sync only PC --> phone, and the first occurance of a monthly meeting shows up properly, but for subsequent occurances, the phone gets the date wrong, usually a few days late. For instance, a "3rd Friday of every month" meeting in Outlook 2007 will cause this error. It is easy to reproduce.
I deleted one bad one, did a sync (and confirmed it was gone from the phone). I added the recurring meeting back (such as 3rd Monday of every month), and sure enough, the first calendar item was right, but the second one showed up 2 or 3 days late. It seems to make the 19th of every month (for example) instead of the 3rd Monday. ERROR!
They are 1 or 2 hour meetings -- not "all day events". I do not use any alternate calendars.
This is rather annoying, and based on the number of posts on this problem, it would seem to be pretty ubiquitous. It certainly deserves a fix!!! Please!!!

Hi I have same issue on Noia 2630 / XP / latest PC Suite version (NZ time UTC+12:00). Outlook and Phone appear to sync ok but when you check txts and calendar entries in Nokia Communication Centre the dates and times are wrong by 1 day (24hrs) if they were created at the PC end of things. TXT's created on the phone do appear with the correct date when viewed in the Communication Centre, however calendar entries created in the phone appear with the wrong date when viewed in the Communication centre. Go figure...
If you ignore Nokia Communication Centre it looks ok.
I think this is the reason I gave up on Nokia PC suite a few years back - it never works quite the way you think it should - it fools you in to thinking it is useful but there is always some basic issue that makes it so frustrating...

Why do my photo dates change she Facebook updates an album?

When I click on a FaceBook album in Aperture. The little clock thing goes around and around then when it is done all the photos in that album have a date of waht the current date/time is. It makes all them pics out of order when looking ato photos. I don't want this. I want the dates to remain the original. I have no way of knowing waht the original date and time was now! Very frustrating.

BTW, the title should be Why do my photo date's change when facebbok updates an album?

Batch Change Photos' Date - Not Time

Is there a way to change a bunch of photos' date, but not the time?

Neil:
Not in iPhoto. Unfortunately you've go to change the time as well. If there are not too many of them you can do it this way.
1 - move all that you want to redate to the same date to a new roll.
2 - in the Finder copy the folder in the Original folder that represents the roll with the files to be redated to the desktop.
3 - using an application like PhotoInfo batch change the date to whatever you need. It can just add or subtract a specific number of days, months or years to the date as you see fit.
4 - change the name of the folder and import back into iPhoto.
5 - delete the original roll of photos with the incorrect date.
That's about it. It's not too convoluted and can be done. This way the new date will be embedded in the file and stay with it if needed in a new library or other application.

Photo date help.

Hello. I did do a search and found some info on this, but that info was a few years old so i thought id touch base again.
When i upload pics from my camera to i-photo the dates and times the pictures were taken is in the info of each pic. However, when i do as much as drag a photo out of iphoto and onto my desk top, that info is lost. I like to store my pics on a flash drive but when i export/resize the pics from iphoto into my pictures folder in "finder" and then move them to my flash drive, all the time data is gone. No way to save that time info with the pics, huh? If not is there a way to upload pics to my mac mini and bypass iphoto so i dont lose the time info? I really like being able to see the info for each pic and the last 5 batches of pics i had developed dont have the correct times. Thanks, O

OK

Probably not - althought exporting is a much better way to get photos out of iPhoto drag and drop does not lose the photos date - that is embeded in the EXIF data within the photo (changes made in iPhoto may not be maintained if you drag and drop - but will be if you export)
If not is there a way to upload pics to my mac mini and bypass iphoto so i dont lose the time info?
iPhoto is not at all required - you can use image capture (in your applications folder) to upload photos, you can use the finder to drag them to disk - you can set your preferences in the iPhoto preferences
However alghough you do not give much information I strongly suspect that you are simply confusing photo dates with file dates - two totally different things - Photo data inculding dates is store within the photo in EXIF and IPTC fields and is viewed using a photo program
Files on the other hand have their own set of data describing the file and this is viewed using a file program and the finder or Windows explorer --
SO as a wild guess I suspect you are expecting the file date to be the photos date - while there are programs that can do that (google is your friend - here is one that sounds like it might help - not tested or recommended - just found on Google - http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderAttributes/) that is not the norm - the photo data is in the photo and viewed by photo programs - file programs view the file idata and the data of a file is when it was made - not when the data it holds was created - the photo taken in this case)

Post Date Wrong

I posted a message on the XML PL/SQL forum and the Post Date was listed as Aug 20, 2001. Why is the date wrong? It should be today's data Sept 7, 2004

I'm afraid I can't advise on the specifics of either. Probably Blogger is the place do start; I can only suggest looking in their Help and/or looking at the settings for the episode - where you put the title and description - and see whether there is a place there for the date.

Pse 12 photo mail stopped working

My PSE 12 photo mail has been working up till now. It has stopped working a few days ago. How can it be fixed?

Hi,
Are you using Photo Mail rather than Email Attachments?
If you are using Photo Mail, I assume that you aren't now seeing the Stationary and Layout windows.
What you are describing is similar to the permissions problem which occurred in PSE 12 - it is strange that it should come back.
Is your user an administrator?
Close the organizer and find the following file using windows explorer [omit the (x86) part if on a 32bit version of windows 7]
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
The file size should be about 39,405 Kb
Right click on it and select Run as Administrator (even if you are an administrator)
That should launch the organizer so try the Photo Mail again.

How do I remove the photo dates other than with Sport Removal?

How can I remove the photo dates that appear in yellow from a photo other than using the Spot Removal tool which has not worked?

While I agree that more detail is necessary from the original poster ... maybe even a screen capture
I don't know if this is what the original poster means, but when I have tried to use the Lightroom 5 Enhanced Spot Removal Tool for this purpose, I could never obtain a solution that seemed to remove the offending object and fill in the desired area with a relatively continuous and natural looking result. It always seemed clear to me, when I tried to do this, that the result always had un-natural looking discontinuities in the end result caused by my application of the Enhanced Sport Removal Tool.
And so, in my case, to eliminate the dates from the bottom of my photos, I wound up using different software ... in my case Photoshop Elements, which produced a more satisfactory result.
On the left is the version of the photo created by Photoshop Elements, the date is missing (and at the bottom right, a lamp to illuminate the sign is also missing); while on the right is the image with no attempt to remove the date and lamp. My attempts to reproduce the removal of this date via Lightroom were unsuccessful, the grass never looked natural, the grass always had discontinuities which made the result unsatisfactory, and I did not save the Lightroom attempts to remove the date and lamp. (And if you look carefully on the left, you can see places where the shadows abrupty have disappeared, an artifact of the process, however I still deemed the photo on the left to be successful at the removal of these items, as I don't usually focus on the shadows)

Update Photo Date

Just installed Elements 10. I am scanning old photos into Photoshop. When I go in and manually upate the photo date (instead of the default scan date), it appears to accept the change. When I pull the photo up again, the date is altered (e.g., from 1950 to 1949). If I pull it up yet again, the date chagnes yet again (e.g., from 1950 to 1949 to 1948).

I am having the same problem with Elements 10. I did not have this problem with previous versions of Photoshop Elements. I have tried online help, but they were not successful helping me either. I have tried changing the dates through photoshop Editor as well as in Elements, with no luck. Also I installed Lightroom 4.1, 64 bit. I love the program, but changes made there also do not stay with the date I give them. These last photos I scanned now show the date as 1/1/9999. I will be anxiously awaiting a fix for this problem. Another problem I am having is that once I have entered the organizer and closed the program, it apparently does not shut down. If I try entering the organizer again, I must either re-start my computer or first go to task manager and manually close the program there. I do not have the same problem with Elements Editor. I can access it multiple times with no problem.

Batch change photo dates in Photos for 10.10.3?

If anyone has access to the 10.10.3 beta or has managed to use Photos at all, does it still allow you to batch change photo dates like iPhoto used to? Thanks!

Interesting. I would have thought that the moratorium lifted on press releases and reviews of Photos by a number of tech websites would have applied here as well. I had a little look at the Terms of Use on this website and didn't see any prohibitions on speaking about upcoming products, but perhaps I've missed something. Are those participating in the Developer Preview disallowed from speaking about Photos if major press outlets are not?
Apple does not and cannot control major press outlets.
However, they do control their own products and beta releases are subject to an NDA.
