Some Dates on Events are January 1, 1980

On some of my events after installing iLife '08, the dates say "January 1, 1980-(whatever normal date)". But I don't have any picuters from 1980 nor was i even alive in 1980, nor did they have digital cameras back then. So, i have no idea where it is getting that date from. I have it all sorted by dates and i have nothing in my library before october 2002. someone please help me this is a really annoying problem, since i cant sort my events by date without some of them being in the completely wrong place!

Take a look at the photos in one of those evernt - you probabl will find that they are wrong. You can correct them by selecting the photos with bad dates and going to Photos ==> adjust date and time or Photos ==> batch change
Depending on your situation it may be easier to identify the photos in photo display rather than event - in photo disply mode turn off event title and you should be able to find where your photos stop having a bad date and start having correct dates without too much trouble - welect the ones with bad dates and correct as above.
THEN to get the events to notice the corrected dates you will have to go to event display and select a photo in each event that has a bad starting date, create a new event from tthat photo and drag the rest of the photos in the event to the new event with the correct date -- repeat for each event with a bad date for the start of the event
It is not a bad as it sounds

I have a question about the calendar on the ipad2. I have multiple calendars in different colors. Some of the events are filled in with color. Others are just listed with a colored dot in front of the event. Any ideas why events ar showing up differently?

I have an ipad2 and my question is about the calendar. I set up multiple calendars with different colors. Some of the events show up in filled color. Others only show with a colored dot in front of the event. I can't figure out why some show up one way and others show up differently? Any thoughts?

On mine the ones that show on a coloured background are all-day events, the ones with dots and just timed events.

I use iphoto 8.1.2 on OSX 10.5.8. some of my events are greyed out, showing no images.

As outlined briefly above quite a few of my events in iphoto have appeared 'greyed out' when ive restored them from the trash. I was trying to back up my iphoto library, with no proper knowledge, and I think this may have caused the problem. I dragged and dropped my original iphoto library into a non time machine external hard drive. I then went back to the original and sent the majority of photos to the iphoto trash (about 12 thousand photos). When I tried to delete them from the iphoto trash it wouldnt allow me to do it - something ive read is quite normal for that amount of photos.
After this i read more about multiple iphoto libraries so decided to restore all these 'deleted' photos back to iphoto so i could sort things properly (im ultimately wanting to have one large iphoto library on my non time machine external hard drive, then have a smaller, more current, iphoto library on my internal hard drive).
When i did this about half of my events were greyed out, and so were the images in the events. although the information assigned to the individual event, such as number of photos and event name were still correct and clearly showing. Why has this happened?
My only thought is that when I tried to delete the photos from my iphoto trash initially this could have messed it up some how. The majority of events that have been affected are my older events, but even some brand new ones are greyed out too.
I would realy apreciate any advis on this, the photos ive lost are very importat to me so im fretting alot.
Thankyou in advance

I did try that yes, and it had resorted to the same version that was on my internal hard drive. Im not sure if ive done something wrong at some point in the past while trying to sort it all out - the situation suggests I have?
Essentially the two iphoto libraries I have are the same (one version now just has my attempt at restoring the files from iphoto trash, the other version has the photos still in iphoto trash).
Im at a loss knowing where these files have gone/ why i cant access them if the info for those files is still showing?
Thanks for your continued help!

Events are not in order

For some reason my events are not in chronological order. If I go to photos, they are, but in events there are some from August stuck in between events in December, and then many events are missing, which again, still exist under photos..

A Full DTP is converted into delta DTP and facing some data problem

Recently Full DTP(DSO to DSO) is converted into delta DTP , we are facing some data problem in first request.Some data in D2 are not updated properly after just converted in full to delta. Please let me know if you have any idea.
Example :
DSO : D1
DSO : D2
Previously FULL DTP D1->D2
Now Delta DTP D1->D2

Hi,
First time run of delta DTP will extract all the records from the source...
As u have already run the Full load and followed by delta,i guess u can use direct change log option...
rgds,

Missing some JButton action events

I have a GUI with multiple windows and a number of buttons and a JTable and various other things (a nontrivial application). Some button presses (perhaps 10% of the time) appear to be recognized by the OS (Windows XP) because the button color changes briefly, yet no ActionEvent is delivered to my actionPerformed() handler. Things work properly the other 90% of the time.
This has occurred with Java 1.4 and 1.5.
Any ideas why some of the events are getting lost?

For debug, the first thing I do in actionPerformed is "Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep()", so that I know when an event is generated.
No uncaught exceptions show up on the console, and all of my exception handling-code would also print something, so exceptions are not occurring.

When I try to sync my photos on iphone using itunes, some events are incomplete on my iphone and they are all randomly placed instead of being sorted by date like on my iphoto. Help?

Using the latest Iphoto and Iphone5 software. I try to sync all my photos on my iphone and for some reasons, when they appear on my iphone, some events (when i go to events from mac) are incomplete (photos missing in some events) and randomly presented as opposed to being sorted by date like they are on my iphoto on my mac. This also happens on trying to sync my ipad... Solution anyone?

Hey there vtec99,
It sounds like you are syncing photos from iPhoto on your computer but not all the photos you set to sync are actually coming over, and they are disorganized. Based on what you are describing, I would recommend deleting the iPod Photo cache which stores picture information that iTunes uses to sync photos from your iPhoto library. The following article will help you do that:
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
When you use iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, iTunes creates a folder called iPod Photo Cache. The iPod Photo Cache stores photos that are optimized for display on your device. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the Sync Photos From menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

No cell connection and date shows January 6, 1980

I have lost cell service and the date on my device shows January 6, 1980

Let's bring your phone back to present time, SnowTx. Does your phone indicate that it is connected to 3G at all? Are you able to dial *228 and select option 1? Have you recently activated this device?

After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see my photos

After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.

Try these for the first attempt:
First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

I have photos on a cd which I'm trying to open . If I click on them I can see the picture in the preview, but when I double click it doesn't recognise the picture. They are all in .jpg format. Tried copying them but it said some data cannot be read.

Tried copying them but it said some data cannot be read. The files exist but I just can't seem to view them

Select one and hit the Space bar to view it in QuickLook. Use the forward arrow keys to move from file to file. If the file can't be viewed in the QuickLook mode then the file is damaged and probably can't be copied or moved.
You could try a photo file recovery application like MediaRECOVER which can scan the memory card and tell you what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.

ICal events are missing Day and Month in date

Hello, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere - this is such a weird fault I was not sure how to search for it.
My iCal events are missing the Day and Month in their start and end dates - it just shows a 4 digit year which can only be edited as a 4 digit number. All my events are in their correct places but I am unable to create new multiday events.
This applies to old and new events alike. I tried trashing my iCal prefs file but it made no difference.
Anyone any ideas? I am using iCal 3.0.8 on Leopard 10.5.8.
Thanks in advance.

Worked it out - I was using a custom date format to give me day and date in the menu bar - reverting to one of the standard built in 'British' works - but then I lose my day in the menu bar....

Event dates in event view have January as month

When I hover the cursor over an event a date is shown: DD Jan YYYY
The day and year are correct for when the picture was taken but the month is shown as Jan when looking at all the events on one page or screen. When viewing the photo the date/time stamps are correct. I am only seeing Jan when Events is selected and then only for certain events. I can't come up with a common denominator as to why certian events display the correct date when hovering the cursor over it, and other events show Jan.
How do I fix the Jan issue?
How do I ensure that Jan will not be added to my dates?
I checked to ensure I have the latest build of iPhoto 11

Tech support figured out my problem was in my MBP settings, specifically in my date/time settings.
System Prefs>Date & Time>Open Language and Text...>Region>Within the Dates section, select Customize
Here you will see all your date formats in 'bubbles'. I had 'Jan' typed in (When I first got my MBP, I was trying to set up a certain date format) Once I removed the 'Jan', my Album dates were all correct.

I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive. I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location. After the transfer I noticed that a lot of albums are missing the first song and some recently purchased albums are missing.

I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive. I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location.

I may have found an answer here:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

Some of my photos are not displayed in events. The event is there and still named but photos won't display. Suggestions?

Some of my photos are suddenly not showing inside the event. The event is still present as well as the title and number of photos in the event, but the photo is not showing. I get a black thumbnail with a dashed white box inside it. Any suggestions? It has not happened in all events, only a handful.
Thanks

That's an indication that the link/file path to the original file has been broken. Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Events are not grouped by date

Recently I had a crash on my iPhoto and had to basically re-input all 60,000 photos. All went well and iPhoto working okay now. Only issue is the events are not grouped by date anymore. meaning I have several events that are on the same date. All the setting appear to be correct.
Is there a way to have iPhoto regroup the events all by date?

The only way to sort events is the view menu --> sort events - Using it you can re-sort events a few ways
Events are not categorized so there is no way to "re-categorize" them
What you need to do is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library from before the crash that caused you to import your masters folder into iPhoto
And probably if you had rebuild the library after the crash you would have been OK - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database -- this will not help on the new library that you created - it has to be done on the bad library that resulted from the crash
