The date on my iMac is year 2555, couldn't change it??

Hi,
I am having problem with changing the year (date settings) on my imac.  It show year 2555 since the day I bought, but only the month can be change..
I tried to change it, tried to have the time zone or the date/year set and somehow this settings doesnt allow me to change for some reason.  And it only show a FIXED YEAR of 2555.  I couldnt change it from all the options on the Time/Date settings.  I have no clue what is going on?
I bought it from oversea, and there isnt an Apple center around my area that can look at it.  Can someone please help on this matter?
Thanks

  • I'd copied some pictures from a PC to a folder in Finder in my new iMac. The 'Date Created' in iMac is not the same as the 'Date Created' in the PC. Why? Is there a way to fix that?

    View Menu -> Sort Photos is a good way to start.
    Some organising possibilities in iPhoto:
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • When I try to turn on my homesharing on apple TV it says that either my apple id doesn't exist or the password is wrong. However, I've been using the id for almost half a year and I even changed my password and it still wouldn't work. How do I fix this?

  • Do I have to back up the data of my macbook white unibody if I am changing the screen because of the crack problem at the the back of the screen?

    Do I have to back up the data of my macbook white unibody if I am changing the screen because of the crack problem at the the back of the screen?
    They told me to bring it to the genius at the apple store. They will change it for free but I don't have any physical place to back up my computer, they said it will take a coupe of days. I am not really sure if I have to back it up.
    Thank you.

    Just in case (even though your symptoms aren't explicitly mentioned in the document), let's check to see if there's a LSP problem in play here:

  • How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

    How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
    Thanks

    If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

  • The date is always 5/1/year, why?

    Any place that there is a date in itunes, the date is 5/1/and the year. If I added something in september 2011 the date shows 5/1/2011. If I added something yesterday it shows 5/1/2013. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is and how to correct it?

    Apple says that a minimum of iOS 5.0 is required. See the support document below. Look for Requirements on the left hand side of the page about half way down.
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

  • On my time share site the date selector is showing old years not 2011,12/13

    when i try and enter a date on a drop down box it shows the years 2006/7 and 8 not 2011/12 and 13

    It the date (year) correct on your computer?

  • Has anyone experienced photos disappearing after editing the date?  Lion, Imac, Iphoto '09.

    I am beginning the daunting process of sorting through all of my photos to make sure the date is correct.  I made a change on a couple of photos, they then disappeared, presumably to the correct date.  However, when scrolling to the spot it should have been relocated to, it is not there.  The missing photos are not critical to recover, but I want to make sure I have this resolved before continuing further.  Thanks!

    I do not understand - How did you change the date?
    If you are doing it correctly using only iPhoto then the photo will not change it location in the event it was in
    Please give more information

  • Do we have option not to refresh the data in AP invoice while copying from GRN and change the date of the invoice in SAP 9 PL 0

    Hi
    I have update tax details in GRPO but while copy to AP invoice system pick posting date/ document date as system date and if i change the date the screen refresh and the tax details i have updated it change. that i do not want.
    Is there any option so that GRPO date will copy in ap invoice so that i need not to refresh the screen
    regards
    Ashish Garg 

    Hi,
    Please provide an example for tax details. Make note on these,
    1. Whenever copy GRPO to AP invoice, posting and document date is system date. This is default design system
    2. If you change these dates in AP invoice, your payment to vendor leads to confusion.
    For example:
    You have received items on 25-03-2014. But vendor raised invoice on 03/04/2014.
    Thanks & Regards,

    I've been traveling for a year and am now home.  I'd like to transfer all my updated files, programs etc. from my Macbook Pro to the  iMac (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5).  I'll move them back when I leave to travel again.  Can I do this?  If so can anyone tell me how.
    Thanks,

  • Iphoto is seeing the date as a year behind

    i'm using a quad with iphoto 6 and have noticed that since installing the latest patch 10.4.6, iphoto thinks its 6/8/05. the date/time is correct in date/time app, but iphoto doesnt seem to pick up the correct date. and its a pain having to manually correct this. i can't believe i'm the only one with this problem.

    leQ:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First open one of
    the images in Preview and go to the Tools->Get Info
    menu option. Check the date there to make sure it
    didn't get changed somehow by the system.
    what's strange is that the photo was created 6/8/2005, but modified 6/8/2006.
    If all's
    well the try rebuilding the library (launch iPhoto
    with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the
    instructions to rebuild the library) and just select
    the option to rebuild the database.
    i've rebuilt the library, and it still shows my 6/*/2006 pictures as being 6/*/2005 created dates.
    If that doesn't clear it up the rebuild the library
    with iPhoto Library Manager. It doesn't
    touch your current library but creates a new one
    entirely. See if it won't get iPhoto to read the
    correct dates. Here's how:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild
    Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to
    o your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto
    Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand
    d 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
    d select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It can take some time to create the new
    library if you have a lot of photos. One user
    reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it
    took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
    when i did what you said, i got errors with this:
    MERGE:
    An error has occurred while attempting to import the roll "Pictures". (* -[NSNull objectEnumerator]: selector not recognized [self = 0xa07c1218]) If you would like to continue and try to import the roll "Pictures" again, click "Continue". If you would like to continue, but skip the roll "Pictures", click "Skip". If you would like to stop the merge, click "Cancel"
    clicking cancel, i got this:
    * -[NSNull objectEnumerator]: selector not recognized [self = 0xa07c1218]
    what's wrong with my photo library?

  • Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

    The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
    Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

    Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1.  iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
    then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
    result - both addresses books  and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
    I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook.  (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

  • Steps to to enhance the existing cube and get the data from r/3

    I am at entry level.
    if i want to enhance an existing cube and pull data from R/3 into the cube what are the main steps i do.
    in my scenario - this is SD module. The infocude is  custom cube(CONTRACT cube) . I have to enhance this existing custom cube with new info objects. The person who had created this cube years ago has used generic data source .
    Please explain me the main stepd i need to do in R/3 till i get it to BI

    check if you can enhance the existing generic data source to bring data for new info objects or if those fileds are aleady existing in the data source - if existing, you will have to make changes only in BW side, if not, you will have to first modify the generic data source
    if you have modified the data source, relicate data source at BW side
    create new info objects and add those to cube > activate info cube
    map the info objects with fields in data source > activate tranformation
    test it by loading the data
    now you will have to move these changes to produciton;
    move the data source changes to R/3 production system (if applicable)
    replicate data source in BW production system
    move the BW transports to production system
    you will have communicate to the uses that data will not avialable for some time or you need to reload data in cube in off business hours or on a weekend
    delete data from info cube
    initialize delta without data transer
    do a full repair to the cube
    now you can run delta on a daily basis
    I hope it helps.

  • How to validate the date in my class

    Hi
    In my project with jsp and struts I need to validate the date field.
    So in the action class I want to validate the date that is the date is in dd/mm/year format?
    can anybody please give some idea to do this?
    Thank you so much.

    Here is a method that validates day/month/year using the Calendar class.
         public boolean validateDate(int day, int month, int year) {
              try {
                   Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
                   cal.clear();
                   cal.setLenient(false);
                   cal.set(year, month-1, day);
                   // need to call getTime() to make the calendar compute/validate the date
                   cal.getTime();
                   return true;
              catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {               
                   return false;
         }
