I cannot import photos from e-mails to iPhoto anymore. When I click on "Save to iPhoto", nothing happens. I can drag each photo into iPhoto, but since I have a lot of photos to save, this is a huge problem.

This is a problem introduced with the 10.8.2 OS update and we hope it will be fixed in the 10.8.3 one.

iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and let them know you need it fixed.

lso, when I drag a photo, the original info (date etc.) is changed to the date I've dragged the photo, not when the photo was taken, & I need to have the original info.

Where are you seeing these dates?

report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

As to the photo date - what is the sorce of the photo? If it is a digital camera then the date information is in the EXIF data for the photo and is not changed by dragging thte photo

re-read TDs post -

But where are you seeing these dates reported?

What I really need is to find out why I can't "save to iPhoto" anymore.

I believe this was explained.

Again, where are you seeing the date?

Select one of the imported photos, type Command + i and check in the iPhoto Info drawer to see what the EXIF capture date is for those photos.

If the date is correct then you're looking at the file created or modified date and not the EXIF capture date that's embedded in the image file itself.

OT

No it is a glich in the photos

save one to the desktop and open it in preview and using the inspector look at the EXIF information

The point is to save one directly to the desktop from your email and check the EXIF data before it is touched by iPhoto (not to export a known bad one from iPhoto) - I am 99.99% sure you will find that the data you are giving to iPhoto is wrong or missing - but the way to find out is to check the source before importing to iPhoto

Just drag the photos from the email window onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock. That will import them. Then you can correct the date via Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date or Photos ➙ Adjust Date and Time menu options.

OK, I'm having the same problem with the date. I import photos by dragging them to the iphoto icon in the dock, and then they show up in events as "June 19, 2013", event though the photos were taken last weekend with a digital camera. It also happens when someone sends me an adorable photo of one of my kids when they were babies -- very difficult. And, then I go to Photos -- Adjust Date and Time, it is grey instead of black, i.e., not an available option. It's killing me! To be clear, I see the date both in the Key Photo in Events, and when I click on the info for an individual photo. I also cannot click on the date to change it, as I can with some other photos.

Try the same test Larry suggests above.

Drag the photo from the email to the desktop. Open it with Preview or some other app and see what date it reports. This will tell us whether the problem is with the actual snap or the application.

This may be related to the Adjust Date and Time command being unavailable. This occurs when the images do not have Exif metadata. Are these scans?

Interesting....OK, my husband sent me a picture that he took on his iphone 5 last week. I dragged it to the desktop, and checked the date. It said "6/20" (today). But then, weh I dropped it into iphoto, it was the proper date!! 6/16/13!! Hmmmmm.... And I could have adjusted date and time if I wanted. Soooo, is it only a problem on not apple products, maybe?

Thanks!
