I'm using iPhoto'09 and trying to consolidate an old iPhoto library with a new library on a new Mac. The problem is that the date that the photo was taken is not being consistently preserved in the copied files. I'm not using the export function. I'm selecting the photos of interest, generally from albums, (all of which show correct dates and times for individual images) and dragging them to folders with the desired event name (I want to back these up to CDs before importing to the new iPhoto library). Sometimes the copied files preserve the date/time, but the correct dates for some albums get set to the present date/time. This inconsistency is driving me nuts!!! and I've spent two days so far on trying to preserve original information for this large iPhoto library (~19GB).
Can anyone provide a solution for this? I've tested this on individual photos as well as entire album contents. Preservation of original date/time is simply schizophrenic.
