I have a few photos sent to me from a friend that programs like jalbum and exifer can't find the date of. My own photos work fine and the misbehaving photos look fine to me from exiftool output. Can anyone tell me what I might want to look into here?

I'm afraid I don't have any ideas without more to go on.
Maybe you could post the URL for an image, or the
exiftool -a -g1 output here. - Phil

Fair enough. Sorry about the formatting.

this information does exist in XMP, it is possible that these applications
can't read it. Try using exiftool to write EXIF:DateTimeOriginal, and if
my guess is correct the other applications may be happy:
exiftool "-exif:DateTimeOriginal<createDate" nodate.jpg
