Why is the date added incorrect on purchases

I have several TV series that I purchased from the iTunes Store. The Date Added is always wrong and it is the same for most all shows. Currently it is 9/2/14 for most shows and 10/2/14 for others.
The Date added use to be correct but it has been wrong for a long time.
I am using the latest iTunes 12.1.0.50 and the latest OS 10.10.2
Does anyone have any suggestions no what is happening?

Have you read ?

Why did the date added change in itunes

All the dates have changed in my itunes library under "date added" to recent dates. What happened?

What are you talking about?

Date added incorrect

Has anyone experienced trouble with the "date added" date? I have purchased songs from iTunes as well as imported from a CD, and have had the items show up in iTunes with an incorrect date. This is causing issues with creating smart playlist.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Can't say I've noticed it myself but then I rarely pay attention to date added. iTunes doesn't provide any mechanism for altering the value, which isn't stored anywhere in the tag. It would seem that iTunes is mistakenly changing the database under some circumstances. Take regular backups of the *iTunes Library* database and restore if/when you notice the problem again.

Why is the extra icloud storage I purchased a month ago, not showing in icloud?

Why is the extra icloud storage I purchased a month ago, not showing in cloud? I created a new apple id @icloud thinking that my regular email address wasn't acceptable for icloud but the 10 gigs I purchased are still not showing up, nor are any of the apps I've purchased showing in icloud. Why is that?

You redownlod apps by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against the 5 GB of free storage.
You said " I created a new apple id @icloud thinking that my regular email address wasn't acceptable for icloud "
The additional storage would show up when iCloud is signed into the that new account.
To me it sounds like you should cancel the iCloud storage sinceyou seem not to rally need it.
For a full refund, contact iCloud Support within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment. Partial refunds are available where required by law.

HT3739 The "date added" function is no longer working for me...

I accidentally "poofed" the downloads folder from my toolbar. I put it back, but now documents are arranged in no discernible way. Even when I choose the "date added" option, this does not fix it. Just want to see the most recent downloads on top for easy access. Any ideas what the problem could be?

I fix the problem so I no longer need any help.

HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again? I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again? I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab. I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't. Where are all my purchases? I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices. Help! I really don't want to buy them all again.

The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

Can I Change The "Date Added" Info -- or Other Way To Edit Order of Songs?

I recorded some music from LP. When I import into iTunes the songs come in alpha order.
Even when I go in and "get Info" and add the track numbers the songs won't sort in the same order as off the album. The next time I named the tracks starting with track # for example -- "1 happy birthday" "2 auld lang sine" ... but it still didn't work. Instead I import the songs in the right order one at a time. No big deal but it would be easier to drag a whole folder once rather than a dozen songs one at a time.
Is there a way to edit the date added info? Or some other way to trick iTunes to play the songs in the order I (and the artist) want?
Thanks

Thanks,
I didn't explain mtself very well.
Often use my whole library and find albums by sorting on dated added. Or play a bunch of albums one after the other as they sit in the library.
When I click on track # I get all the track 1 s then all the track 2 s etc.
Even if I highlight a selection of songs (like a whole album) the tracks sort first
I know I can make a playlist of the album
I just wondered if there is a way to get album tracks in order when they seem to have been created or imported in a different order.

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:

Why shrinking the data file is bad?

Hi All,
Why shrinking the data file is bad?
If it is bad, Then why SQL server has this option?

There are several reasons why shrinking is bad. One of the reasons were recorded already by Louis Jordan around 1950 where he sang What's the Use of Getting Sober, when You Are Gonna Get Drunk Again?" That is, why shrink something that will grow
again? Growing a database file takes some resources, since it has to be zero-initialised. For a data file this can be avoided by granting the service account for SQL Server the permission "Perform Volume Operations" (if I recall the name correctly).
For a log file it is unevitable. While SQL Server grows the file, this causes a standstill for the process that triggered the file to grow, and can easily cause a bigger outage.
Another reason that shirnk is bad is that it adds a lot of fragmentation to the database. In difference to the above, there is no reason it has to be that way. It's simply not an optimal implementation.
Shrinking can be really poor when you have big LOB columns.
So why does shrink exist? Because sometimes, shrinking a data file or a log file is a perfectly legit operation. Say that you have a transaction database, and you decide to move transactions that are more than 12 months old to an archive database,
and you also implement a process to move data to the archive database on quarterly basis. Before you implemented the archive database, the transaction database was 1.5 TB, but after you moved ten years worth of data, you now have a 250 GB database. In this
case, it would be perfectly reasonable to shrink the data file to, say, 300 GB to make it more managable.
Or say that you make a change to your reindex job so that it runs with bulk_logged recovery rather than full. This may permit you to reduce the size of the log file with 50% (a number taken out of thin air).
There are lot of other situations, but the key is: you have reason to believe that the data file will stay within the size you shrink it to. Some people are obesseed with space and shrink whenever they get the occasion, but that is a bad idea.

A sorting songs by the "date added" bug on iPhone and iTunes?

So I've run accross a bug (maybe) that has really been annoying me for a few months now. It has been present since like iOS5 beta 3. It has to do with how my songs are sorted on my iPhone. I've always had my songs sorted by "date added" and I have never had a problem with them showing up in that way. During the beta, my songs started showing up backwards on my phone. My oldest songs would show up first on my phone's iPod even though in my iTunes they were sorted with the newest songs on top. I figured this was a bug and that it would be fixed by apple in the later versions of iTunes and after the official release of iOS5, but I was wrong. It didn't fix after I receieved my 4S. On a side note, I was having this problem initially on my iPhone 4, and it continued on to my iPhone 4S. This is probably one of the MOST ANNOYING problems I've had with my iPhone because my car displays my songs in the order they are on my phone too, and in my car I have to use a wheel and not a touchscreen to scroll all the way to the bottom (you get my point). I haven't actually found a fix for this to where everything works as it is supposed to, but today as I was tinkering with my iTunes to finally fix this problem I decided to sort all my songs by "newest songs modified" just to see if it would fix my sorting problem. It worked. My phone now has all my new songs on top of each of my playlists in ONLY the playlists I choose to have sorted in that specific way. After I realized this fixed my problem, I tried to re-sort all my songs by "date added" again just to see if it would fix my problem because having them sorted by "date modified" is an annoying problem I just dont want to have. It didn't work. So right now, I am sorting my songs on my phone by "date modified" because "date added" doesnt sort them the way it is supposed to when any playlist is transferred from my iTunes to my iPhone. Anyone know whats up? How can I let apple know about this annoying problem? Could it just be me and my computer? I've gone through multiple versions of iTunes, iOS5s including beta, and I've had the problem on two different iPhones. Coincidence? By the way I'm running windows 7, and no, I haven't searched much for this problem on forums or on google because it seems too specific to my situation (and im too lazy to look hard enough).

my problem started with the recent upgrade and this idea (sort on PC iTunes by date modified) worked. I did have to remove my playlist from my phone first and then resync to get things to respond but it seems to work. Why on earth Apple does not provide a mechanism for sorting ON THE F*&^ING PHONE is beyond me. For a company who's mantra is building things that 'they'd want to use' this gaff cannot possible fit into that paradigm.

Why are the dates so light in iCal 5.0 (can't read!)

I can't even read them unless I'm a few inches from monitor! Did lots of calibration too. iCal previous versions were fine. iCal is now pretty much useless, please darken, bold, englarge (anything!) the date numbers in an update ASAP, or allow users to edit this.

I couldn't agree more. I've search for a solution for this, but couldn't find one. I can't believe there isn't an option to change the colors of the calendar numbers - there is on many second party calendars that you can purchase.

How do I know the "date added" for a file ?

Hello,
With Leopard, the folders in the dock can be sorted by "date added" (date when the file was added to the folder).
Does anyone know a way to know this date for a given file ?
I hope my english was clear enough :o)
Thanks

Thanks for your answer, but in the view options, I only have the creation date and the modification. The "Added" is not available.
Any idea ?

Why are the date and time not updating in backups.backupdb folder?

I just started using Time Machine on my early 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. After the initial full back-up and first few updates, the backup folder (on an external 1.5 TB Firewire drive) continues to show the original "date modified" of the very first back-up and lists the size as a ridiculous 2.48 GB. (Using BackupLoupe, I know it actually is 280 GB, reflecting the size of my internal HD). Any idea why this folder's info is not updating in the finder (even using "Get Info")? Are my back-ups really there? (It certainly seems so according to BackupLoupe).

First, the best way to view or restore from your backups is via the Time Machine display, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15. Using the Finder is not recommended.
Do not worry about the dates. First, the date modified only applies to the "parent" folder; that's not the Backups.backupdb folder, but the one inside it that's named for your Mac.
Don't worry about the sizes, either. On Leopard and Snow Leopard, the size of a backup folder was the total size of all the items that were on your Mac at the time of that backup (less exclusions). On Lion, however, it's the "unique size" -- the size of items that appear only on that backup.

Why is the date format tied to regional settings

i like my date/time format to be customized to my liking. for me, the only way i can do this is to set my region to be the uk, even though i live here in the us. i find this kind of annoying since this causes some weird things to happen in other apps as well. for example, visiting the apple link would take me to the uk site instead of the us site. i understand that this is because i chose the uk in the international settings. but it's the only way i can get the date format that's close to what i want. is there a reason why apple doesn't allow you to customize the time/date format separately from choosing what country you reside in?

"We" are users like you, with no knowledge of why Apple does or does not include particular features. In this case, I'd guess for simplicity, but that's just a guess.

Why does the data disappear from my form fields when my form is sent over to client ?

Hi all,
I don't know if this is just happening a few times or ALL the time unfortunately:( I normally send over estimates (as regular pdfs) with some filled out Acrobat forms that make up part of the estimate (these include terms of agreement, project details, etc.). Now, before I send out the pdfs I password protect the entire pdf so that nothing can be changed, but that the pdf can be printed at high quality.
Well, what is happening when my client opens up the pdf (usually on a Windows machine) is that NOTHING APPEARS in all of the form fields where I had input and saved the data! Yet when I open up the form on my Mac in Acrobat, or Reader or Preview, all looks just fine. Any idea why this is happening and what I could do to prevent it from happening in the future? I am using Acrobat X.
Thank you kindly,
Christine

Hi Gilad,
I never use Preview and did not use Preview at all before sending the document over to my most recent client either.
I only opened Preview up this morning after I discovered that all of the form data had disappeared on his end! And the only reason I opened up Preview was because I already knew it looked fine in Acrobat so wanted so wanted to view the form in a different application.
My client would not even have notified me about it had he not sent the signed form back to me and I saw there was no data there! I then called him and asked him about the missing data and he said that he thought I had simply sent over the form purposely with blank fields:(
I have just emailed him to ask him what application he opened it up in. My understanding is that he is on Windows because ne mentioned to me his company was using Windows when we last spoke. Perhaps he has a personal Macbook where he opened it? I just don't know and can hopefully soon find out:)
But THANK YOU for letting me know about that script! I appreciate it:) I have now downloaded and installed it and will just have to use it on ALL of my forms before sending them out:)
