CC apps saving files with incorrect date information

[stephaniea18005285]

I apologize if this is a question that has been answered, but I'll be darned if I can find it.

Short Version: When I save files in Adobe CC programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), said files show up with a date of 2008. Doesn't matter if I'm writing over an old file or starting from scratch.

Long Version:

It's not a question of showing "date modified" vs. "date created," etc.

Yes, my system clock is up-to-date.

This has been going on for at least six months of annoyance.

It's mostly related to the Photoshop side of things. E.g., exporting from Illustrator to save as a PNG or JPG results in this problem, but saving a normal AI file from Illustrator does not.

Attaching a screenshot of the properties of a JPG I exported today (24 March 2022) from an Illustrator file. Please note all three "date" fields are Sunday, July 27, 2008. Also wrong time (completely - saved these in the afternoon, and they are time-stamped at 6AM). The original Illustrator file (from which the JPG was created) also sports an incorrect "created" date, but has the correct "accessed" and "modified" dates... and the weirdness continues.

I suspect the problem is centered on Photoshop, but can't find any goofy settings. Anyone have suggestions?

Many thanks.

Where are you saving to specifically? Local HD or external?

Oh, dear... you might have just answered the question.

Saving to a local shared drive. When I just tried saving to my desktop, guess what? Correct date.

SO it must be that the local shared drive clock is wrong. Ohhhh, goody!

ARGH! The RAID server date is wrong. Good lord. Six months of headaches for a stupid server date problem.

WEIRD, though, that some​ files save with the correct date, and others do not!

Kinda makes me think you should rename your "AdobeSucks" screen capture...

[stephaniea18005285]

FAIR! 😉 "My Antiquated RAID Sucks" would be a better capture name!

I had the same problem, with 2008 file dates. I am using Buffalo TeraStations and LinkStations. I changed the time server to the IP address of one of the NIST servers listed at https://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi. The NAS date corrected immediately. To get to the setting (expect some variations from one device model to the next):

• Open NAS Navigator
• Right-click the NAS device and choose Open Settings
• When the browser page for the NAS device opens, choose Advanced Settings
• Click "Management" in the main navigation
• Look for "Name/Time/Language" and click it
• Click the Time tab
• Click the [Edit] button
• Uncheck the option to use the default time server
• Paste the IP address of your selected time server in the NTP server box
• Click the [OK] button
• The device should record the changes and resynchronize. Verify that the date and time are now correct.
