These photos may fail to load correctly in iPhoto if you alter or - yikes - delete them. Note to beginners: be careful with these images you are pulling up. Then right-click (control-click) on it and then select “ Open With” and choose your application of choice. One way to do this is to select a photo in iPhoto, and then click File>Reveal in Finder to bring up either the “modified” (edited in iPhoto) or “original” (master) photo in a Finder window.
In the area I highlighted with a blue box, you can see the date this photo was taken has now been updated.Īdditionally, you could also open one of these photos in a third party program that is capable of displaying this type of date and time information (technically called EXIF and IPTC metadata). You can see that your dates have been updated by selecting one of these photos or videos and reviewing the information near the top of the Info panel on the right of the application. Your photo(s) and video(s) will now be adjusted with the new date and time.
This would be useful if you have a group of photos that were taken at an event that took place over a course of time - such as a sporting event, and you don't want each photo to be given the same exact time, but you aren't sure of the unique time for each photo.įinally, click the “ Adjust” or “ OK” button (depending on which window you are in) to close the window. What makes the “ Batch Changing” option different for changing the date and time is that you can put a check in the box and then add a consistent amount of time in between a selected each photo. Then modify the date and time in the date field. Select “ Date” from the first pulldown menu at the top of this window.
If you are “ Batch Changing,” your window will look slightly different. Unless you aren't confident even this new date and time is more accurate, I would recommend that you do “ Modify original files” so that your original images as well as the database is kept up to date - so to speak. Use the tab or cursor keys to move from one number to the next.If you aren't sure of the actual time the photo was taken - as is usually the case with older photos - you will have to just do your best to approximate it.Put a check in the box “ Modify original files” if you would like this new date and time to overwrite the date in your master image file(s) as well. In the new window that appears, click in the white “Adjusted” field and change any or all of the date and time information. If you want to change the date and time for multiple photos, but you also don't want to give them all the same exact date and time information, consider another option of “Batch Changing” them.Instead click on “ Photos > Batch Change.” Go up to the top menu and click on “ Photos” and then select “ Adjust Date and Time” from the top of list. This can be done by selecting them inside of a single Event or album, or by selecting multiple events or albums at a time - in those rare occasions you want to change large groups of them with the same time or date information. Select the photo(s) or video(s) that you'd like to adjust.

How to Change the Date and Time Metadata in iPhoto 1 Note: If you aren't seeing the vertical panel on the right side with the time and date information you see in the image above, you will need to first click on the Info button in the bottom right of the application to open this “Info” panel. Or it's possible you scanned a bunch of prints or film negatives and they are still reflecting the dates and times when you actually scanned them. Maybe the date and time weren't set correctly in your digital camera before you took these photos. Unfortunately, iPhoto is showing it was taken on March 25, 2012, but this is actually the date when the print was scanned. Here's a scanned print that was photographed on Jand then selected in iPhoto.
