Wrong photo creation date

Hi,
I have just created a new intelligent album that should only contain photos from 1999. The creation date in the Finder's Get Info window is 1999. But as I worked on these pix yesterday in Photoshop as Aperture didn't recognize those old JPEGs at all, Aperture insists that these pix were created yesterday, not in 1999.
Is there any way to change the metadata manually so that A. recognizes the correct creation date?
Thanks a lot!
Peter

Can you not select the files in Aperture then go-to Metadata in the top main menu bar, then change Date and time. There is also a little button to click that says change master files. This works for me.

  • Export photo creation date

    How does one preserve the original creation date on photos exported from iPhoto?  My wife and I use different cameras and want to integrate our pictures.  The only way to do so is by creation date.  But when I export my photos from iPhoto the creation date of the photo is changed to the date I export the photo, not the date I took it.  This should not be.    Is there a way to fix it?

    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
    However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • Wrong risk creation date in PWA 2010

    Hey,
    We have a weird behavior in PWA 2010. The creation date of some risks in a project site is going crazy.
    Some risks are OK, but other have a creation date of 30/12/1899. I'm pretty sure PWA didn't exist at that time ;-)
    Would you know what could the cause and the solution of this problem?

    Indeed this could explain this behavior.
    Why is this formula by the way? The created field is usually populated automatically with the current date and do not need any formula.
    You'll have this behavior (strange date) if the formula doesn't return anything (in case the "created" value is empty). In this case, it will return a default value that is this odd date.
    I'd advice to review this field and make it equal to the current date and time, with no formula.
    Hoep this helps.

  • Smart Album's Display Wrong Photos (By Date)

    Compiling the family photos from vacation, about 8 different camera's. Different clocks on all the camera's I'm trying to get photos to show up in Date driven smart albums.
    Day 1 June 25
    Day 2 June 26
    I have adjusted the timezones successfully for most of the photos, now I need to perform some batch changes to clean up problems.
    After I do this, my Smart Albums are not showing the right photos -- they keep showing photos from the previous day no mater what I do.
    The Image Date is showing up as correct for the problem photos...
    Any suggestions?

    Where are the Smart Albums located in your library? Aperture actually scopes Smart Albums based on where they are initially created. So if you, say, create a folder called "Smart Albums" at the highest level of your hierarchy, in a folder where there are no projects, the Smart Albums will always be empty. You need to create them somewhere that there are projects with photos.
    It's a bit confusing until you understand what's going on. Have a read of the document on Smart Albums which explains how they work in particular. This really is one area where you do have to read the manual to understand… I think their functionality could be cleared up a bit in the UI to make it more obvious that they're scoped.

  • How can I change the file creation date?

    I recently downloaded more than 1,000 photos from my vacation. I'm preparing to burn DVDs for a friend, and I noticed that when I copy the photos to the desktop, they don't all have the same date. I have read a couple of discussions here about the difference between photo creation date and file creation date, and I understand the difference. But something seems odd to me.
    For purposes of illustration, let's take two photos: "A" was taken with the camera in the landscape position (how one normally holds a point-and-shoot); "B" was taken with the camera held in the portrait position (rotated 90 degrees). The photos were taken on April 24, about three minutes apart, but not imported into iPhoto until May 19.
    In iPhoto, both files show the actual creation date. Yay!
    The problem is with the files after having been copied to the desktop.
    When copied to the desktop, the info panel for photo "A" shows April 24 for both the "created" and "modified" dates. Photo "B," however, shows May 19 for the "created" and "modified" dates.
    Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
    Is there any way to change this? I want the DVD to show the date the photo was created, not imported to iPhoto. Picky, I know … but I'm like that.

    Correct.  Your camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata. When you import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it -  email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. So if you used the shot in a word processing doc, uploaded it to many Web site etc, the shot would come out sideways.
    iPhoto has nothing to say about File dates. There are various file utilities that will edit the dates on Files

    for instance. But there are otheers, search on  MacUpdate

  • The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

  • All the creation dates for my files are wrong?

    I've had this problem for a long time but I finally want to fix it once and for all. All the documents, pictures, and other files on my computer have the same creation date - 1/5/09. When you right click a file it shows the correct creation date but if I just left click it then it shows the wrong date. is there a way i can fix it?

    The creation date of your system will be the same for most of your system documents; there's easy no way to change this information. However, you might also see a more current date, indicating Modified information, and that will be more current.
    There are computer commands that will blank out much of your system data, but that's to be done in cases of major problems. Don't worry about the creation date of your computer/data.
    Post here if you have addtional questions, comments, praise!

  • IPhoto has changed the creation dates to all of my photos

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, my first computer since my iMac circa 2005. I've successfully transfered all of my photos to the new computer, but iPhoto has changed the creation dates of every file, so they're no longer in chronological order. I've used DVDs and Dropbox, I've exported the files, copied the data files from the hard drive, everything, but the result is still the same. I contemplated changing each file manually, but I have over 3,000 photos. Has anyone had this problem? Is there a way I can restore the correct dates?

    Hi Keith,
    Yes, it's date that the photo was taken that has been changed. When I look at the "photo info" of each individual photo, the "original date" is correct, but the transferred photos on my new computer always change to a 2007 date, despite the fact that the photos were taken as early as 2002.
    Does this make more sense?

  • Import photos from iPhone with creation date

    I am trying to copy pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro while keeping the creation date.  Each time I try to copy them over, the creation date is changed to the import date.  I have read that there are 3rd party applicaitons to help with this or I can manually change the dates.  Unforunately, I have a TON of pictures that I move from my iPhone.  I am new to the MacBook world so any help is appreciated!

    You most likely can't, as such is not supported by Apple.

  • Keeping orginal creation date after editing a photo

    In Photoshop, Does anyone know how do I keep the shot/creation date after editing/adjusting a photograph in order to keep hundreds of images in a chronological order? I am combining files with a second shooter on an event an the timeline is essential.

    Hmmm you might have a point.  I can see that tag in Bridge, but in Windows 7 Explore, that tag is not turned on by default.  Right clicking a column heading gives you the option of turning on any of about 50 column headings.  When I turned on the 'Date taken' column earlier the EXIF was there and correct.  Looking at some of my edits just now, the Date created tags are OK, but the date taken tags are not showing for the psd and save as files.  The date created tags for the RAW files show the time they card was uploaded to the computer.
    It's not a big deal though.  As the questions are being asked in the Photoshop forum, all anyone has to do is sort them in Bridge (which does retain the Date Taken tag), and Batch rename with a number prefix. 

  • Mail shows wrong creation dates for some older messages after upgrade to OSX 10.9.

    Searching for old mail messages I find that the creation date on many old messages is now incorrect after upgrading my system to OSX 10.9.
    Searching mail for messages from a person now results in threads that include unconnected messages and messages that are out of date order making the thread difficult to follow.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?  Thanks.
