I set my camera up to show the date. It was the wrong date! I would like to print my pictures without this date. Is there any way of removing it without cropping?

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

On digital cameras, the data is stored with the filename. Check the back of your prints to see if the dates were not printed there. Most companies do put at least the date information on the back of the prints as well as any other metadata stored with the file produced by the digital camera. Unlike film cameras, which could only record the date by actually putting it on the picture, digital pictures contain metadata that can include things such as people tags, location tags (geotagging), etc. depending upon the capabilities of your camera. The date and time is always stored along with the filename on all digital cameras. If the company that printed your pictures did not include the date on the back of the picture, ask them if they can do it or find another source to print your pictures that can.
If this did not address your issue, please reply with any amplifying information so that I may more accurately address your issue.
This camera will not deface your images by scrawling a string of numbers across them. If you're printing directly from the camera to a PictBridge-compatible printer, you can tell the camera to print the date on the pictures by setting the Date option to "Date" or "Date&Time". Refer to the "Printing images directly using a PictBridge Compliant Printer" section of the manual (page 86 in my copy).
The time it took the picture? You want to know if the camera will show the time it took the picture using the self timer?
My answer is Yes and No.
Do you have your camera set to showing the date and time on the pictures now? If you do, then using the self timer would not change anything.
If you do have it set to showing on the picture and you don't want the date and time to show then change the setting on the menu function of the camera and turn this option off.
If you do not already have the camera set to show the date and time, using the self timer option is not going to make it suddenly appear.
You haven't said what make/model your camera is, so it is hard to advise.
Without knowing the camera, I am guessing that you may be in the wrong mode when trying to change this setting. You won't be able to change it while reviewing pictures already taken. You can only change it for pictures to be taken subsequently. Once pictures are taken, you won't be able to add the date stamp, nor remove it if it has been stamped.
It may be that it won't allow you to set this if you haven't already set the date and time in your camera. I can't see why this setting would be shown at all if it was not possible to turn it on (i.e. if your camera did not have this feature).
You have two options for getting the date printed on your pictures. One is to set the appropriate option in whatever software you're using to print. The other is to have the camera put it there in the image itself. This means that if the date happens to cover something important, you won't be able to get it back.
To set the camera to put the date stamp on every picture, press Menu, use left/right to highlight Setup, then use up/down to access "Date Stamp".

this the link for the manual for the fuji finepix s5100, if you download the manual to your computer (if is a pdf file) open it and scroll to page 72. It says to set the power switch to play and press the F (function button), then press the left or right until you see the DPOF. then you use the up or the down to select the with date or without date to print to you pictures.
I have found the answer to the date problem. The date is hidden and will not show up unless you insert it during printing. When printing in ACDsee select print image, then click on the CAPTION tab, and de-select the box the says "insert date at lower RH corner" or somthing like that. Once it is de-selected it will stay off untill you select it again.
By the way you can look into the camera with Microsoft explorer, or any program to copy or open the picture. In my case it is "drive G". I opened Photoshop and drilled down into the camera through drive G, and was able to open the photo without any special dedicated program.
