I've just imported photos that are misdated and appear out of order in my events. How can I correct the dates on these events so they appear properly?
iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.6.6)
By correcting the dates on the photos therein
Photos -> Adjust Date and Time
Yes, I have corrected all of the dates on the individual photos. My question now is about the event date. My camera was incorrectly set to 2011 and the event created from the download must still be set to 2011 because althought the dates of the photos are correct, the event is appearlng out of sequence in my events.
Select all of the photos but one and use the Events ➙ Create Event menu option. See if that will give you the correct event date. If it does then drag the remaining photo from the first event into the new one.
OT
I created a new event but it does not create it with the correct date. The new event shows up as though it has a date in 2005 eventhough all of the photos in the event are dated 2012.
Did you use the option to change the orignal files also? If so export them to a folder on the Desktop with Format=Original and then reimport the folder. See if that gets the correct date in the new event. If so you can delete the old event.
As suggested, I selected all of the photos but one and used the Events ➙ Create Event menu option. What "option to change the original files" are you talking about? Can you clarify?
Further, I exported a set of the photos (with corrected dates) to a new folder on my desktop with Kind = Original. I then reimported the the folder into iphoto. The new event created is again appearing out of sequence as the 2nd event in my entire iphoto library (in the year 2005) again.
The one iin the Photos ➙ Adjust Date and Time menu option:

Yes, thanks. I had adjusted the original file's date and time to 2012 (btw... the modified file still shows the old date of 2011.) To verify, I repeated with another event imported from the same camera with the incorrect year (I have about 12 events imported from the same camera with an incorrect year setting.)
When I view the individual photo files the corrected dates appear. Problem seems to be that the Event date can't be changed.
