In iPhoto '11, how do I manually move a locations pin?

I'm trying to add locations to some older photos that I've recently scanned and added to my iPhoto '11 library.
While I can successfully add a general location to each photo, what I cannot do is "select, drag, and drop your pin into the proper location" as described in step 5 of this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2550
If I select a photo and attempt to move its location pin on the map at the botton of the Info panel, nothing happens.The pin moves, but it doesn't "stick" in its new location. If I leave the photo and then return, the location remains in the original general location.
Any ideas?
Josh

Update: Still can't get it working, I move a pin, and next time I go to that photo it's returned to the original place. Places function is basically worthless.
Another glitch I noticed:
- iphoto adds names from your address book to faces - great.
- If the contact it's adding from your addressbook has changed their email address, the OLD email address shows up!!!!
- e.g. I added "Tommy McTomson" to a photo months ago; I then changed Tommy's email address from yahoo.com email to say hotmail.com
- Any future pictures of Tommy I add show his OLD yahoo email address under his name in "Faces". Whci isn't really a hassle cos I don't see how you can use the email address from that biut of the sscreen in iphoto, but come on dudes, it's really slack................
Also, you can't see an iphone when it's connected when in iphoto 11 full screen mode. But I'll check this & clarify later (not on mac at the moment).
Really not impressed with iPhoto '11, especially after reading all the negative stuff on forums across the net.

  • How do I manually move a playlist from new iTunes to ipod classic?

    My iTunes just updated itself. Now the screen looks totally different. I want to manually move a playlist from the new iTunes to my iPod classic. It worked perfectly yesterday, but now that that the iTunes updated, the page doesn't show my iPod so I can't manually move the playlist to the iPod.

    Hi Carol,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're running into an issue syncing music to your iPod classic since updating iTunes because of the way it looks now. You can make iTunes look more like the previous version by showing the Sidebar, as described in the article below.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Customize the iTunes window
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12364
    Choose View > Show Sidebar.
    The Sidebar replaces the Library menu, the Devices button, and the iTunes Store button. To return to the default view, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    And, this article provides a detailed walkthrough for syncing content to your iPod.

  • How can I manually move photos off of my iPhone 5S to an external drive connected to my MacBook Pro?

    My iPhone does not show up as a device on finder.  My 4S did.  So how do I force move photos from the 5S to an external device?  I do not see an option for this on the NEW iTunes .

    Import the photos to you computer.  Copy them to external drive.

  • Novice: How do you manually "move" one file above another file

    Hi,
    Sorry if this a FAQ, I'm an iTunes novice.
    I have a series of MP3s that need to stay/be played in sequence. Changing/renaming them will be a royal pain.
    The filenames are numeric, e.g.:
    1009x09
    1009x10
    1011x11
    The problem I have as I'm "Importing" them from the original MP3 CDs is that the file named "1010x10" keeps getting appended to the bottom of the list, rather than staying in sequence. This (so far) is the only file this is happening to.
    How can I "force it/move it" to stay in sequence?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    First, put them in a playlist.
    Make sure there is a little triangle in the space at the top of the number column. If not, click that spot to get the triangle.
    Now just grab any track you want and move it (by click and drag) up or down to where you want.

  • How do I manually move "iTunes" mp3 to iPhone?

    Ok here's the deal...
    I have a New iPhone 4s and a $24.99 iTunes Match Membership with 8,000 songs stored on iCloud.
    I have a 64kbps audio file that is 8 hours long, and is 95mb.
    It won't upload to the iCloud as it is only 64kbps, and must be greater than 96kbps.
    If I re-encode at 128kbps, the file is 471mb, way too large for me to want to upload.
    So I just want to manually transfer this file to the iPhone without iCloud/iMatch.
    I can't drag and drop it to my iPhone from within iTunes.
    I can do it from a third party prog called Phoneview, which transfers the file through a Finder interface, but when I do, it does not import the crucial "remember playback position," metadata setting that iTunes has. And so when I open the file on my iPhone it starts this 8 hour mp3 from the beginning each time.
    I would like it to remember the playback position...
    I figure if I can just transfer the file to the iPhone from iTunes, (and not the Finder), this will work.
    Can anyone offer me a suggestion?

    Hi wjosten,
    I don't like the way richisgame treated you and others in this thread, either. The only reason I'm responding with a solution is because I was looking for a solution to essentially the same problem richisgame was asking for, and I found this thread. This page was the second link that came up in Google when I searched "iCloud music storage 64kbps" - so it's clear this topic is of interst to many people.
    A little background on why this is important to me.: A substantial portion (more than 2,000 tracks) of my iTunes playlist is from spoken word CDs, which I encoded into 64kpbs mono to save space. It's not important for me to have them available in the cloud, but I sometimes want to listen to some of these tracks on the go with my iPod Touch. Nearly all of my music is encoded at 128kpbs or better, and most of it is available through iTunes Match - so I'm not very interested in iCloud storage anyway, at least not at this time.
    After doing a little bit of experimenting, here's the solution I foun to get individual tracks onto my iPod Touch (which I'm sure will work for iPhones and iPads equally well).Just go to System Preferneces on the iOS device, select Music, and turn off iTunes Match. Click on your iOS device in iTunes and then click on Music, and you'll be able to add artists, albums, playlists, individual trakcs, etc. on your device again. (It might take a few moments for iTunes to allow you to select individual artists/albums/playlists, etc. after you've unselected iTunes Match on your device, so be patient). Select what you want, perform a sync, and you're done.
    To turn iTunes Match back on, just go back to System Preferneces on your iOS device, click Music, and then turn on iTunes Match.
    I understand your frustration with richisgame and others who act rudly while asking for help. All I'm saying is there's got to be a way to not reward undesirable behavior while still helping those who find these forums looking for help. I'm not sure what the solution is yet.

  • How do I manually enter a location for photos in Photos app?

    I had just started to use the old iPhoto but then came the update to Photos app. I used to be able to manually enter location for some of my photos in the iPhoto app. How can I do the same with the new Photos app? Since this is an update, surely there must be a better way or improved interface to do the same!

    Unfortunately they have not included this feature in the new Photos app.

  • IPhoto '11 location pin not working

    I just geotagged a bunch of photos in iPhoto 9.2.1 by adding a new location or moving the pin for existing locations in the small locations map in the Information pane of a picture / selection of pictures. After reviewing my changes I noticed that none of them got saved. I don't get the point of being able to move the location pin if the information I am providing (the correct location) does not get stored.
    What am I doing wrong or why is this so user unfriendly?
    I don't want to brag, but I wrote exactly this feature for a flickr competitor and it works like a charm. Uhmm... I mean it is the 21st century and geo metadata has been around for a while...

    I actually have version 9.3 - would I still need this?
    I may have solved the problem on my own... tried 'Repair Library' first, then 'Rebuild Library'. 
    It's importing the library right now but seems to be doing it with Duplicates.... I'm sure I will run out of disk space.  Any ideas?

  • Authorized device was erased. Downloaded iTunes. Says my iPod is already synced to a library. Where do I access that library and how do i get it back on iTunes? I tried manually move songs in disk mode. Bunch of data on ipod, how to remove?

    One of my authorized devices was erased. I downloaded iTunes. Says my iPod is already synced to a library. It will allow me transfer purchased songs but not songs I had that were downloaded off of my CD's. Where do I access that library and how do i get it back on iTunes? I tried manually move songs in disk mode. Now I have a bunch of data on ipod and I don't know how to remove it. It basically copied all my itunes files from my C drive onto ipod in my efforts to move the library. 

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • How can I manually attach images from my photo booth (imported into iPhoto) to emails? Auto function, in photo booth has my photos lying sideways?

    How can I manually attach images from my photo booth to iCloud emails?
    They are imported as 'events' into my iphoto library.
    Auto function, in photo booth has my photos lying sideways when placed in 'mail' emails?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How to view all movies in iPhoto '08?

    When I look at the information for my entire library iPhoto reports I have '238' movies. How can I easily view a list of just my movies? I have tried creating smart albums but despite my best efforts I cannot get it to find all the movies.
    iPhoto knows how many movies I have, where is the option to 'just show movies'? That would be ideal. Maybe iMovie does it but the **** thing stalls on importing my movies (but that is for another thread).
    Cheers,
    -Kyle

    Here is the smart album I use:
    Match any of the following conditions:
    Keyword is Movie
    Filename contains .avi
    Filename contains .mov
    Filename contains .mp4
    Filename contains .mpg
    At least on my camera, when iPhoto imports movies it adds a Movie keyword - that catches almost everything for me. I added those filename things as a safeguard - I believe those are all the movie file formats supported by iPhoto. That should catch everything. Hope that helps ya.
