Strange date format in iPhoto

When I migrated to Maverick, the date format for all my pictures went batty. For example, the date will show as 43-6-569 or 85-65-741. I tried adjusting the date manually but it doesn't solve the problem. I thought migrating to Yosemite would fix this but the issue has actually spread to itunes. Now the "Date added" column for all the songs also shows this strange format.
Has anybody seen this issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks.

I have it on automatic date setting, using a 24-hour clock. The date format in the Language and Region tab is the typical dd/mm/yy. I double checked every other settings. But I don't think it's a problem with the System Preferences as the date in the manu bar is correct, as is for every other application. The issue is only with iphote and now iTunes.

  • Strange Date Format: April 16, R.O.C. 98 23:11:44 MESZ

    Hello,
    my Snow Leopard Mail.app suddenly shows me a strange date format:
    April 16, R.O.C. 98 23:11:44 MESZ
    (also see http://de.tinypic.com/r/153pjpz/3)
    My question would be, what does R.O.C. 98 mean and how can I get rid of it?
    Thank you very much!
    Till

    Reboot solved it. In these times, you don't even think about something this trivial.

  • Strange Date format in SM21 log in ERP 2005 system

    Hi,
    We have upgraded to ERP 2005 from 4.6C. In the system log (SM21), when I look, the date format (yyyy/mm/dd) the year is showing as some strange number 0112 . Not sure if it is a bug or has some fix.
    I had installed a new ERP 2005 system in which I have the same problem.
    Has anyone encountered the same problem?
    Both are in HP-UX and MSSQL.

  • Strange date format in german locale

    According to /usr/share/i18n/locales/de_DE the date format for german locale is defined as follows "2000-06-24", which is not very common in German-speaking countries.Usually date is written as "24.06.2000". Some programs use this "wrong" format.
    Is it save to edit the file mentioned above to achieve this format?

    Actually it isn´t a real problem, because in scripts you can use "date +%d.%m.%g", so I´ll mark this topic as solved.
    I see that you decided against marking it as solved - or you forgot about it :-)
    Which programs are showing the wrong date? They may be using their own date format and your locales are / were fine.

  • Strange date format from XML

    Hi There!
    We have an XML that we read into an XMLtype - and at a time we want to display it in a normal date type....
    Its formatted as this: '2007-02-20T09:30:47.0Z' (Zero 0) - I guess it means no timezone in some ISO 86* standard
    select TO_date('2007-02-20T09:30:47.0Z','YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS.??????') from dual;
    I have trie to find a format for reading it ... do you have an idea?
    regards
    Mette

    Sorry, forgot to say that some of the dates in the XML field is in this format
    '2007-02-20T09:30:47+100 ...... (yyyy-mm-dd"T"hh:mi:ssstzhtzm)

  • Aperture 2.1.2 cannot read date format in new iPhoto '09

    I've noticed that when I import photos from iPhoto '09 to Aperture, the image dates all change to 12/31/00 from the dates input in iPhoto. This was not the case in iPhoto '08, so I assume iPhoto '09 uses a new date format that Aperture cannot read.
    Has anyone else experienced this and is there an update to Aperture in the works that will correct this?

    For anyone else trying to import photos from iPhoto '09 into Aperture while retaining creation dates and comments added in iPhoto, I wanted to post the steps that worked for me.
    I am using Aperture v2.1.2, iPhoto 09 v8.01 (397), and System 10.5.6.
    1. In iPhoto, add date created and comments in lower left Information box for photo.
    2. In iPhoto, select all photos then choose Adjust Date and Time... in menu - change date by 1 second and select 'modify original files'. This will add the date you entered above in the Original Date in the photo EXIF data.
    3. Select all photos you want to export from iPhoto to Aperture and export as JPEG, Maximum JPEG Quality, Full Size, and select 'Title and Keywords' - export to a folder
    4. Open Aperture and import photos exported from iPhoto retaining All IPTC data.
    Your photos in Aperture will now have the correct metadata in Aperture for original date and comments.
    There may be a better way of doing this, but since iPhoto was updated to '09, this is the only way I have found to do what was straightforward in iPhoto '08.

  • Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

    DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
    System: AIX 5.3.0.0
    Hello,
    I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
    ...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
    I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
    EXECUTIONDATE1     TIMESTAMP     NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS     "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
    DELDOB          TIMESTAMP     NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS          "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
    The relevant NLS parameters:
    NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
    NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
    If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
    How can I get both date values to load correctly?
    Thanks!
    Sylvain

    This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

  • DATE Format Error in ODI-11g(11.1.1.3)

    I am using ETL transformations in ODI-11g. There's a dominant issue regarding date formattings when I map an ODI variable (storing date) with a TGT column(datatype=date) mappings.
    In all the src-tgt mappings I am formatting the date by using TO_DATE() functions. But still getting the error:
    "ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string".
    A point to Note: The same ETL in other env are ruuning fine but in my new dev env it's giving this date error.
    I had checked with the DBA folks and they confirmed they set equal DATE settings in all the env.
    The ODI Variable is defined as an "Alphanumeric".
    Tx Used: #BUSINESS_CURRENT_DT=TO_DATE('Date','YYYY-MM-DD')
    Require some urgent advice...Please let me know

    Hi,
    W store name-value pair in the Control table from where we exctract our data. Both (param name and param value) are varchars.
    Well this looks pretty strange in 11g! Here's what we found out...
    If you are trying to retrieve a date variable by using TO_DATE() in the refresh query the ODI Java driver (JDK 1.6) would call java.sql.timestamp and gracefully attach HH:MI:SS.NS along with the date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS.NS). My target ia a date always..!
    So, when I do: TO_DATE('20101010','YYYY-MM-DD) in the refresh query ODI stores it as '2010-10-10 00:00:00.0'
    For this the Load always fails as Oracle would not be able to interpret a timestamp by suing TO_DATE()
    The Java driver does this damage. However, it may be wise to store as a timestamp rather as a date if in case u do a Data capture and want the exact time credentials.
    Unfortunately not a req, as of now for us so I had to chop-off the timestamp..!
    Let me know if you find any other details...
    Thanks.!

  • How to change open file dialogue box date format

    Hi - I can't find how to change the date format whenever I open any creative suite document - my system preferences are set to dd/mm/yy and every other application shows this date except for CS4 it shows mm/dd/yy. Can anyone help please. Much appreciated.

    Hi, I'm having the same problem with the date format - all Creative Suite 'open' menu items are showing US format mm/dd/yyyy rather than UK format dd/mm/yyyy... although everything else on my system is set for UK format and all other programs open properly. The strange thing is: I'm sure this has only just happened after years of using Creative Suite... I'm sure I would have noticed it before. I'm on CS3 so haven't had any recent updates that might have affected it.

  • Date Format for the input Variable

    Hi all,
    I got an issue with Date format we enter in the input variable screen for the BEx Analyzer.
    We have given a format of MM/DD/YYYY. But when the users accessed the report, it is not taking the format of the variable i.e MM/DD/YYYY but it is taking the format of the users system.
    If the user's system format is DD/MM/YYYY, it is accepting the input inthe same format only.
    Why this strange behaviour?
    My questions are
    Is the input for BEx system specific? or variable specific?
    Rgrds
    Kumar

    Hi,
    I think it is user specific... you can maintain the date format for user ....
    Go to SU01 transaction or.. Go to SYSTEM -> User Profile -> Own data
    Here in defaults tab you can see the date formet for user...
    Hope this helps...
    Thanks,

  • Date format is changing in presentation variable

    Hello,
    I have a problem with date stored in presentation variable.
    I have simple prompt with calendar field (default date value is setted from repository or session variable to current date). Selected date is stored in PP_DATE presentation variable.
    I have simple report with title to show the content of variable PP_DATE.
    And now the problem.
    When I navigate to dashboard page with this report I will get date from PP_DATE variable in some format (there is difference when I use repository or session variable). After I will push the start button I will get another date format from PP_DATE variable.
    Screenshots are stored and described in this PDF: [PDF with screenshots|https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B2LOPOBteIShMDRmYTJlYTItNmYyZC00ODdkLWE5NjktNzI1N2RlNWMwZjBk]
    There is difference between session and repository variable. When I use repository variable I will get 'TIMESTAMP .......' from PP_DATE variable, which is the default initializer in repository variable manager. I tried to delete default initializer, but I is automatically added after saving changes.
    When is the default value of prompt setted from session variable I will get another format of date from PP_DATE variable which refers to DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" (from NQSConfig.ini). I have changed DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT from standard value "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" to "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" because I am reading some data from excel, where are dates stored in MSSQL format. But this is not the reason of my problem. I have the same problem also with standard DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT.
    The result of this strange behaviour is that I am getting errors when I am doing some calculations (for example TimeStampDiff) with PP_DATE variable. I am getting error when I am navigating to dashboard page. Everything is ok after I will push the start button.
    Do you have some tips?
    Thank you

    Hey,
    you are talking about so many pieces here seems..
    first letz break down your issues list..
    1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt..
    2. using presentation variables in timetampdiff functions..
    3. showing variable in title list..
    we'll go through each issue..
    because, its' messed up..I think that everywhere is the same problem. So solving issue number 1 will solve my other problems.
    "1. error, this is because of default date(using repository variable) used in prompt.. "
    I want to use date prompt with default date value (from repository or session variable) and then use pp_date presentation variable from this prompt to filter my results.
    I would like to use repos. or session variables, I dont want to write some select to fill default date value in each prompt.
    I tried to change one date in initialization block from "trunc(sysdate, 'DD')" to "to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD')" because it is the same format as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini
    And now it seems to be working now.
    I can use repository var. as default date value in my prompt and use date variable pp_date to filter my results. Report return result after navigation on it and after pushing Go button.
    Can you confirm me that date format in initialization block must be the same as DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd" in NQSConfig.ini?

  • Date format convert error in XML interface based Adobe interactive forms

    Hi experts,
    I am using XML interface based Adobe interactive form in Web Dynpro ABAP. The form just contains some date fields and numeric fields.
    When I test the WD Application, the date fields appear like 0000-00-00 at the first time. And then I set the form input disable, and get the XML from the form, at the same time I get the warning message, 'date format convert error'. By the way, I have set the edit pattern, display pattern and data pattern  of the date field to YYYYMMDD, but there seems no effect.
    Could you tell me how to set the default date format in date field Or clear the 0000-00-00?
    And another question, all of the numeric fields in the form appear like 0.0, how can I set it to empty when the form initialize?
    Best Regards,
    Guo Guo Qing

    Hi Chintan,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I have tried every possible changes on the Date field, locale, pattern. But still no effect. When the PDF come up in the WDA program, the date field is still '0000-00-00', and then I export the XML date of the form, there is also '0000-00-00' in the interface field.
    I can't clear the '0000-00-00' in initializiation event using javascript because if I need to open the form again, if I do this, the value user input could be cleared.
    I also try using Javascrip like this
    if this.rawValue == "0000-00-00"
    { this.rawValue = ""; }
    The code above can't clear the initializiation zeros too.
    Have you used the XML interface based online Adobe Forms? I have used XML PDF forms for output before, that's perfect. But the input forms seems so strange.

  • Problem with reading English UK date format in Excel

    When I build and debug the rulebase I get the following error: Error in rulebase: "Cannot perform comparison expression on right expression with type number".
    The actual problem is that it does not read the date correctly in Excel. I have got the following date comparison >=31-09-2011 in excel. Instead of reading 31st September 2011 it tries to reed as 9th of the 31month 2011...
    I have set all language and location, region settings to English United Kingdom (dd/MM/yyyy), United Kingdom but it seems it does not help. In Excel I have set English UK as well.
    OPM version: 10.1.0.27
    Windows 7
    MS Office 7
    I had this problem previously but I resolved by changing language or location setting I think, or language for non-Unicode programs. I cannot remember exactly. But this time it seems it does not work. Reinstalling does not work either.
    Can anybody help with this?
    What settings OPM uses to read the date?
    Thank you!

    Jasmine, you are right 31-09-2011 is a wrong date, I just typed any date as an example and didn't realize that it is an impossible date . We use many dates in Excel in a format dd-MM-yyyy (we do not type in date in runtime).
    In the link you have sent it says that "Formatted attribute values based on rulebase region are used".
    Date:
    " if your region was set to the United States you would see the following: MM-dd-yy"
    "Region set to Australia, which includes the date format dd/MM/yy
    Region in our project is set to United Kingdom so the date format should be dd-MM-yyyy.
    I have checked that OPM Project Properties Language is set to English (UK) so it should be fine.
    The strange thing is that it works fine on other laptops - the date 03-09-2011 is red as 3 September 2011, but on my laptop it is red as 9 March 2011.
    When it comes to read the date 30-09-2011, on other laptops is red as 30 September 2011, but on mine cannot make a date as there is no month number 30 so it throws the error "Cannot perform comparison expression on right expression with type number"... What actually happens is that on my laptop OPM reads the dates from Excel in American format.
    As I wrote earlier, It was working fine at my laptop as well before reinstalling Windows. I had this problem long time ago again but I was able to resolve it by changing language,region settings in Windows I think.
    Now it seems like I have got the same language,region settings in Windows as I had before, my colleagues got the same language, region settings on their machines as well.
    Iit seems like dd/MM/yyyy is red fine (UK format), but the format dd-MM-yyyy is red in American format...
    What settings should be set in Windows or Excel or maybe somewhere else OPM to read the date from Excel in English UK format dd-MM-yyyy?

  • Date format in Master Folder not consistent

    Tonight, I found some old cell phone pics from 2 years ago sitting in a folder on my desktop (was never imported to iphoto). So I went ahead and imported them. In iphoto, the newly imported old pics went to the correct locations (amongst the 2009 photos). That's great. But, when I go to those photos and hit "reveal in finder," I notice that the original files have been copied into today's folder, as if the pictures were just taken today. I was hoping they would go into the folders from 2 years ago where they belong. What gives?
    Also, I don't know why, but the date format in my Master Folder just got screwy. When I do column view, one column will only have the years. So for 2011, it says I have 24 folders. Of those 24 folders belonging to 2011, 23 of them have actual dates as their name (eg: "July 26, 2011" or "February 16, 2011"). However, one lonely folder simply has "08" (meaning "August"), and when I click on it, it reveals the dates of the month within August 2011 as separate folders, so folders with digits for names indicating the date of import (eg: "18" or "23" or "25"). So those cell phone pics from 2 years ago that I just imported today are showing up in the folder reflecting today's date. Again, what gives???

    There is no correlation between the placing of files on the HD and the Events in the iPhoto Window and there hasn't been for three versions of iPhoto now.
    There is no support for user acess of the files within the Library Package. It's not designed for that. There's also no need for it. See below for more.
    FWIW, current versions of iPhoto use folders based on the date and time of import. Some earlier versions based it on the date and time of the photos. Even earlier versions used date and time of import.
    Simple tip: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
