How do i get the date the picture was taken to show when downloaded to my computer

What software are you using? If you are using the ViewNX 2 from Nikon (updated with the patches), it should have the correct date taken information in the EXIF data. However, if you are using the older ViewNX software, then the software can corrupt the EXIF information or merely fails to download it with the picture.

I'd suggest you first check if your software is up to date. Try here: https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ2NTUzMDUwMy9zaWQvTHNYeVZGU20%3D for the current versions of various Nikon software.

Please add a comment with the software version that you are using for extra support. I hope this helps.

Provided your camera's date has been configured correctly, all pictures taken can be arranged by date in your computer.

The time and date (and a lot more) are stored with every picture when taken, and the data remain with the picture when transferred. Just about any photo viewer should be able to show you the so-called "EXIF" data. For example, in Windows Explorer if you simply hover the mouse over a picture it will show the date/time it was taken.

If you want the date stamp to appear when you print, please refer to the documentation for whatever program you're using to print. Depending on the program and printer, you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

no you cannot edit the date imprint within the camera once its been clicked. you can just turn that setting off so that the date dosnt show up on the picture or change the date in your camera & click pictures again to your desired date

Connect your phone using USB cable and set mode "mass storage" in you phone then open removable disk in your pc there is a folder named "images" open it, and there are also folders which names are on Date(eg. 12012010). here is your pictures taken by your phone's camera.

First of all, your camera would have to have the correct date and time set on it before the picture was taken. Then, when the pic is downloaded to your computer, you can place the cursor over the picture file and the date and other info will pop up.

Only if the date and time stamp was used while the pictures were being taken and appear on the pictures when previewed

load the pictures to an computer and click on characteristic trait
and rename the date

Well, not really a solution. More like clarification.
Olympus does not provide a date/time stamp on pics taken with this camera (f310/x840), so, no solution, just knowledge....

Is there a way to select a group of pictures on the camera and give them all the same date and/or time stamp?
No
Each JPG will show the date on which it was taken, but not on the photo, it will show it on your computer under the column "date picture taken"
