Can anyone tell me how to get the date to appear on my photos using a Canon Ixus 70 camera?

There is no way you can delete the date stamp from the photos you have taken.
For future photos you can either correct the date or disable insertion of date stamp.

On my Ixus 70, I can only "embed" the date on pictures when "Postcard Mode" is selected. Press "Func/Set", go down to the bottom icon on the left (sets picture size) then go right to "Postcard" (looks like mountains, will say Postcard when selected) then press Func/set button again. Now press "Menu", scroll down to "Date stamp" and set it to "Date" and press "Menu" button again.

Once embedded, the date cannot be removed later.

Unfortunately, you don't. The IXUS 70 does not provide this capability. You'll have to use photo editing software on a computer to do this.

You'll need to check your owner's manual for directions for turning that feature off. As for the pictures that already have the date on them, Photoshop Elements or any similar photo editing software can easily remove them. Also, if the date is near enough to the edge of the photo, you might be able to just crop it out.

Please see the following blog article, as it describes the use of a card reader as a much easier, faster, and less error prone way to download your photos. In fact there are several important reasons discussed in the article for using a card reader vice downloading from the camera. USB Card readers are also very inexpensive these day, with cost virtually not an issue:

Set the image size to 'postcard'. Press the Function key, scroll down to the bottom icon and select postcard (L, M1, M2, S, postcard). Press Function key again.

To turn the date imprint on, go to the Record menu and set the option for Date Stamp to Date or Date & Time.

I believe you are referring to the PowerShot SX100 IS, as there is no SD100 IS. And yes, it does have the date stamp option while the image size is set to the postcard mode.

My Canon Ixus 70 will not switch on although the battery seems fully charged have you a solution please or does anyone have similar problems and their possible solutions thanks,
