Hi Everyone
My first posting as a new member here, great to have found this forum.
help please :
In my work ( from home studio ) I have to download 75000 Jpegs a month to specific folders on 1 & 2TB external drives.
I use a card reader and copy and paste the files from the reader to the external drives, when I do this on my main machine, the mac pro 8 core running leopard all is fine.
But if I do the same on both mac book pro or Imac G5 20 inch (both running tiger) the created date on all the jpegs come out as Jan 1st 1904.
My 17 inch imac (running tiger) also copies files with the correct date!
The memory cards I use are formatted in Camera each time they are used.
Has anyone heard of this before? All OS's are up to date with the latest updates and all system dates on the clock are correct on all 4 machines.
The correct created date is very important to me as I have to sort and store those 75000 jpegs by created date into folders of 1 date per day. this leaves me with only 2 out of 4 machines able to do this correctly.
Strangely if I use software to import the jpegs (aperture for example) all dates are correct. But this is not suitable for my use as it means a lot of time is consumed importing and then exporting 75000 files a month.
Can anyone shed some light on this??
thanks very much.
