When I export photos, the dates are sometimes changed

When I export photos from iPhoto, the date information seems to get lost for some of my photos. For example, I have an event with four photos taken on January 30, 2006. In iPhoto they show up with that date. When I export the original photos from the event, I get jpeg image files with a creation date of January 1, 2000, and with no date information in the EXIF data.
I understand that the creation date of the file may not be date/time that the photo was taken, but in that case the info should be in the EXIF data, shouldn't it? iPhoto has that data somewhere. How do I get it to export it?
This only happens with some of my photos, btw.
I'm using iPhoto '11, version 9.4.3.

If you changed the dates in iPhoto then when you did it you had the option to write to the Original. You could try that again, say, adding an hour to the time or somesuch, and this time check the box to 'Modify Original Files'.
Otherwise, exporting the originals will export precisely that... Tha files as imported.
Current has poor support for metadata. That's what you get from a media browser - so it's designed for dragging images into word processing documents or a casual email to grandma - in other words times when the exif doesn't matter.
If you export as Jpeg (or tiff) you should get the dates.

When I select photos, the albums are listed. However, the first album is covered over by the category label and cannot be selected. The other albums are visible and can be selected.

When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data. I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail. This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels. The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size. Anyone know why or how to correct this?

Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview. Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.

Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis and some are not really there?

Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis and some are not really there?

Why? Because of something you are doing wrong - however unless you actually tell us what you are doing - and what version of iPhoto you have - and any other detail that might help no one can even gess.
Exactly how are you exporting? Are the photos successfully exported to the desktop? How are you moving to the CD? why do you think they are not there?

Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported? How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

IPhoto imports photos with wrong dates even if the dates are fine on the camera

Hi!
When I import photos with iPhoto, sometimes it imports them with wrong dates, even the dates are fine on the camera. It puts dates such as 2032. Does anyone know how can I fix that. As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Thanks!

well that is very confusing since if the date is correct on the camera it will be correct in iPhoto
and as to
As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Try looking through your iPhto menus - two commands - adjust time and date and batch change time and date - asjust is used to correct incorrect dates like a comera setting - Batch change for missing dates like with scans

When I open up "originals" in my iPhoto library, the dates are not there or are incorrect. I see date created and date modified, not the original date the picture was taken. How can I find the accurate original dates?

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?

I did post to the iPhoto forum and am hoping for an answer soon. I don't want to continue rebuilding my iphoto library if I can do it using originals. My library has 45,000 pictures...a huge job!

I had to change my Hard Drive, now I want to work on files in iWeb, but can't access Time Machine before yesterday. The dates are there on the right hand side but are greyed out before yesterday when I changed my HD. How do I access anything from before.

When copying folder to external drive, "An older item named.." appears even when the dates are the same

When I am manually backing up folders from Macbook Pro Mountain Lion to an external drive, the dates for folders are being misread? It will say "An older item named.." every time. I checked the dates and times and they are the same on Mountain Lion and the External drive for the files and the folders. It should send me back a message saying "An item named “” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re moving?"
When I try to move an individual file to the external drive and the dates are the same, I get the correct message - "an item named "" already exists..." so the issue is only with the folders.
I have only had this issue since the update to OS 10.8. Any Suggestions? thanks

The modification date of a file is stored internally in seconds. The Finder rounds off to the nearest minute. If the age of two files differs by less than 30 seconds, they'll seem to have the same modification date in the Finder.

HT1386 When I sync outlook for mac 2011 calendar to iPhone the dates are repeated?

When I sync outlook for mac 2011 calendar to iPhone the dates are repeated?

OK, I think I figured it out, with Apple's iCloud instructions and a little help from campus tech support. This only applies to people using Outlook with Microsoft Exchange.
Enable iCloud on your computer (running Lion) and your iPhone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Then go to your iPhone's Mail icon, click on Add Account > Microsoft Exchange and enter your login info.
Doing this transferred my work email and calendar to my phone wirelessly.

When i did the last update my pictures got scrambled and the dates are gone

When I did the last update my pictures got scrambled and the dates are gone and there's strange numbers and letters underneath them.

It says that to download past purchases, they must done under the apple ID that was used to purchase the items. I have an original ID for my iTunes on my computer. At some point I changed my apple ID on the iTouch since that email account was deleted. So I was syncing through iTunes under a different ID then was on my iTouch. Can I do anythng about that so I can check past purchases?
Since the apps aren't in the backup, how do I transfer the apps on my iTouch to my iTunes?

Export photos retaining date. time and other EXIF info

When I export photos to folders outside of IPhoto (so that these duplicates can be opened by folks who may not have Macs). I lose the time, date and camera information. How do I export JPGs that retain this info?

If you simply select the photos in iPhoto and export them (file menu ==> export) as JPEGs they will have that information in the EXIF fields within the JPEG - you can not see the EXIF data using the finder - you need a program like Preview or EXIF viewer - http://homepage.mac.com/aozer/EV/ - to view the EXIF data

"The data area passed to a system call is too small" NFS client Windows 2008 R2 SP1

Hi
I need to map a Hyper-V virtual windows server to a UNIX folder, but when i made de mapping and tried to navigate in to the mapped unit and shows me:
"The data area passed to a system call is too small"
I tried too many things like adding a registry key (and windows 2008 r2 already has)
Use a similar account between Unix and Windows domain
I done the steps in the document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753302(WS.10).aspx
And nothing, this is just frustrating, also I disabled the firewall in the virtual machine and the host server.
I have a Windows 2008 Domain R2 functionality and the virtual machine is Windows 2008 R2 too.
The version of unix are:
AIX6.1 x64
AIX 6.3 x64
AIX 5.1 x86
Any Idea?
Thanks!

Hi,
You may perform the following troubleshooting suggestions:
l
Change how your NFS servers export the NFS shares and make them allow connections from high ports.
l
Add UseReservedPorts DWORD value under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Client for NFS\CurrentVersion\Default and set it to 1. Restart the Client for NFS service to allow
the change to take effect.
For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft MSDN blog:
"Network Error 53", "The data area passed to a system call is too small" or "Unknown Error"
