P: Date Created Field is not accepting correct date?

In the IPTC field Date Created...I enter 1906-01-01 and hit return....the field is now populated w/ 2042-02-6. Lightroom says that the metadata has been saved with the original file, but when I look at the image in Bridge (or one that has been exported from LR...) I get the correct date that I entered (1906-01-01).

How can I get Lightroom to display the Date Created that is imbedded w/in the file?

btw I'm using MacOS 10.6.7 & LR 3.4.1.....thanks!

    I'm able to reproduce the behavior you describe on my Mac. The issue seems to be Mac specific and only affect images with older dates, pre-1933 based on my testing. I don't think there is going to be an immediate solution. If you are working with lots of photos with really old dates like this, uninstalling and using an older version of the product might be the only immediate workaround.

    Thank you for reporting the issue.
