Can I edit photos on my iMac Photo Library from my MacAir?

Hi! I have an iMac and a MacAir. I have shared my library, but can not edit photos. I then shared the whole computer to the laptop and no good. It says it is locked, on a locked drive, or I don't have permission to edit it. I originally had two photo libraries, one on each, then I took the smaller library and uploaded it to the iMac. I have a Time Capsule, but use it only to back up the iMac (why? because I am not too skilled with this Mac stuff). In the end, I want to be able to sit on my sofa and edit photos at night from a laptop. Help Please!
More info - I have access to both computers, though I have the App Store hooked up to two different IDs (mine and my husbands), does that matter? If I buy Appeture I would need to buy it on both the iMac and the MacAir in this case? Any help is good!

If you use Screen Sharing you can run iPhoto on the iMac's library from your Mac Air just as if you were on the iMac itself. Even dropouts wouldn't hurt as they would only show up a momentary curser lapses because everything was being performed on the iMac.
However, I am able to do everything but edit photos even though I'm logged in as the admin user for the Mac. Give it a try and see if you can make it work. Here's what I have setup under sharing:

Can I edit the size of my photo when setting up an email signature?

Can I edit the size of my photo when setting up an email signature?

Not sure what you mean by "photo screen?" Do you mean your Photo Stream?
In the Photos app there are several ways to view the photos. Tap on Albums. Your Photo Stream is one Album but there may be others including the Camera Roll, albums made on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll, and albums of photos copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer.
To remove albums from the Camera Roll, tap on the Camera Roll album to see the small thumbnails of the photos there. Tap on Select, tap on the photos to delete, then tap on the trashcan. The photos will then be moved to another album called Recently Deleted. They remain there for 30 days to allow you time to reconsider whether you really want to delete them or not. After 30 days they will automatically be deleted from your iPhone. But if you are sure you want the photos deleted from your iPhone delete them again from the Recently Deleted album.
Albums created on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll can be deleted in the same way.
To delete albums copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer running iTunes are deleted by doing another sync. But before you click on Sync deselect the albums in iTunes. Then when you click on Apply or Sync the albums will be removed from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer.

Can not edit my songs in the itunes library

Can not edit my songs in the itunes library
Windows7 64 BIT / SP1 / Self-built PC
Latest ITunes version 10.4
80GB Classic 5th GEN IPOD
      I had almost full of content on my ipod,then I upgraded from XP HOME(32) to Windows7 (64 Bit)
What I did not want to do was to spend time loading All 75GB back on the itunes Library, but decided I should restore the ipod, since it's been acting up a bit. I did not deactivate the last XP OS Computer prior to formatting the harddrive,because I thought it would not matter, since the software would be GONE.
So I downloaded another itunes/Quicktime on this new Win7 O.S., and created the same playlists I had before, then dragged each genre/main music folder into the appropriate folder in itunes.
I clicked on a few songs to change the Info, but they are all greyed out and I cannot edit anything....I never had these problems before.
How to I re-enable to EDIT the INFO again?   Thank you!
(itunes also told me I had authorized four out of five computers for this device...WHAT? There is only one computer, and my one ipod.
......BUT.......My sister has a 16GB itouch, and I put my songs on her itouch, also charged it up on my computer, since she does not have her own computer yet. Will that mess anything up?
Can she create her own User apple ID/password, then be able to edit her stuff from my computer? AUTHORIZE her itouch on my computer, or do I have to create her own playlists (because I have an 80GB, and she has a16GB, obviously, she will not get all mine on her small device) then checkmark ONLY her playlists to manage on her itouch, from my computer?
A few people told me to try this....
     I Plugged in the OL' ipod, Under the SUMMARY TAB, and under the OPTIONS TAB, I changed what I had, which was "SYNC ONLY CHECKED SONGS AND VIDEOS" [B]to MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC AND VIDEOS"[/B]
THEN underneath that, "OPEN ITUNES WHEN IPOD IS CONNECTED", "AND MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC WERE [U]BOTH CHECKED[/U]."
THEN - I went back into my Win Explorer Main Music folder,and under PROPERTIES, I unchecked the READ-ONLY Box, hit APPLY, then OK, then I went back into the itunes library and tried to edit a few songs, but they are all still greyed out and not editable.
I went back into the WIN EXPLORER main Music folder and checked to see if the READ-ONLY was still unchecked, but it automatically reverted back to READ ONLY.
Another question I wanted to ask was this. I have my main Music Folder on my Storage HDD. They are MP3 files, and listed as Country,Blues,Classic Rock,Reggae,etc. After I installed the WIN7 OS, I had to download itunes again/Quicktime,then dragged each main music folder into the appropriate playlist until they were all there. Since my itunes app is on my Boot Drive,and my main music folder on my Storage drive,am I wasting or adding any needless HDD space having on both HDD'S? or is this a non-issue? Thank you!

Hello All!
Well, after posting the help messages, I went diggingthrough both my itunes folder on my (C) drive, and then the Music Folder on my(F) Storage drive where I keep all my music files and then went into securityand in each line, I made FULL CONTROL, APPLY, then went back into iTunes afterplugging my ipod in and clicked on MANUALLY MANAGE TUNES.
I don't know which did it, but now I can edit the songs. To answer yourquestion, I was able to play the songs, but just couldn't edit any of themuntil now. Thanks for your Reply!

Can't edit duration of audio or photos

Hi, I need your help!
I've imported an audio clip and an image. I'm trying to make a video that's the duration of the audio clip with the image comprising the only visual that lasts throughout.
I select the clips, hit the "Adjust" button, then hit the "information" button and then I believe I'm supposed to see a duration box in the bottom right corner which I can then edit. But there is no duration box! Where is it????
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Hello bobbo22
To bring up the duration for pictures, click the Info button (the button that looks like an i inside a circle) after you hit the Adjust button. I have provided a picture that shows what I am talking about. Once you click that you should see Duration and a time, just add the time that you want it to be and you should be good to go.

IPhone 6 plus stopped uploading Photo's to iMac Photo's or iCloud

Hi, about 3 weeks ago my iPhone 6 plus on iOS 8.3 stopped syncing photo's to iCloud or the Photo's App on [latest Yosemite] iMac. I also have an older MBP with Yosemite and that is showing same as iMac which suggests iPhone may be culprit?
Any ideas?
I do love my Apple gear but ever since Photostream the whole iCloud Photo thing just hasn't worked consistently for me.
Regards
Matt

'Allo Salman,
It sounds like you are unable to complete a restore of your device due to an error you are getting in iTunes when you try. I would start with the troubleshooting steps in the following article to help you out:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
If you are getting a specific error number, you may be able to find more specific troubleshooting in the following article:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
If you're not getting error number, can you elaborate on the error you are receiving?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How can I drag multiple photos into a new iPhoto library from search box?

I lost but found my list of photos that were in my iPhoto library. I am unable to drag more than one photo at a time from the search box into the new iPhoto library box. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to drag one at a time? (That would take hours.) Please help if you can!
Thanks,
Laure

Roam,
Thanks again. I know how to highlight and drag multiple photos or a list of files, but the only place I found my list was by going to Finder>File>Find then a dialogue box comes up. In the dialogue box I put in iPhoto and checked that then put in "kind" "is" "image" and "size" "is greater than" "30" KB. When I click search, the entire list from my library comes up but that is when I am unable to drag more than one file at a time. The box that comes up when I search isn't (at least I don't think it is) a "folder" as such. Any suggesttions?

Can I edit a project on one Mac remotely from another Mac?

As far as I know, you can access and control a Mac from another Mac that is not on the same network, say if you are travelling with a MacBook Air and need to access files and applications on your iMac at home.
I'm wondering if it's possible to work with Final Cut Pro X in this way. So you could access the project on an iMac from a MacBook Air, see the screen of the iMac and enjoy all the power of the iMac for editing and exporting in FCPX while controlling it from your MacBook Air.
If so, that would be so convenient, whether it be while travelling or even when at home and wanting to make a quick adjustment to something from the MacBook Air resting on your lap.
Has anyone here ever done this or know if it's possible?
Thanks!

There are ways you can access the iMac and the screen and the software but it's not useable as an editing platform. The response time over the Internet is way, way, way to slow. Plus no keyboard shortcuts work. Everything has to be mouse driven.

How can I edit calendar reminders that still pop up from old .mac account?

Can anyone help me? I have 3 repeating, pop-up calendar items from my old.mac calendar that can not be edited in any way. I can't get to them to delete them. The calendar items do not show up in any other calendar, including icloud.

thanks for the feed back - that sounds a bit involved - have retrieved the files and placed them in a folder on my desktop - will have them if they are ever needed, excepted that I will have to look at them individually as all the names are EMLX.

Can I start up my new imac (Snow Leopard) from a Tiger installation disc?

Last week I upgraded to an entirely new machine. My old imac was running on Tiger and the logic board failed. Though I had an external, I had my local Apple store transfer my hard drive data to my new mac. Since then, I've run Disc Utility a few times, each time with no problem until today.
Disc Utility is giving me the following error:
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
Since I don't have a Snow Leopard disc, I've tried starting up with my old Tiger installation disc, but to no avail... At the risk of sounding a little stupid, should Apple have given me a Leopard disc with my purchase?

you can not use the tiger disk. you need to use your snow leopard disk. what happened to yours? every new computer comes with one. it's called install disk one and is packaged with every new computer.

Can I edit the "purchased" playlist to track songs from Amazon?

My smart playlist for "purchased" songs is set to track "purchased AAC" or "protected AAC." This picks up everything from Itunes but nothing purchased from Amazon. Is there a way to edit to retrieve those tracks as well?
Thanks.

Zevoneer wrote:
You need to be able to add criteria to a smart playlist that will be unique to those tracks if you want to pick them up automatically.
Correct. Music from Amazon is not DRM-protected so iTunes sees it no differently from any other DRM-free media file. Music you purchase from the iTunes Store is in a specific format, protected AAC, so you can filter than content.

I thought I was the only one!
I asked a similar question and got no reply. My problem is I want to move from one library to another. I even had a chat with Adobe tech support and got no answer.
I ended up deleting the assets and re-downloading into the new one.

Is there a way I can sync and keep more than one iPhoto library from my MacBook on my iPad2?

Hi, I have several iphoto Libraries on my MacBook - as it's a good way to organize all my photos and keeps them in manageable form - but I would like to keep them on my ipad2 aswell. In the normal way I can only sync one Library at a time - unless someone knows better!
Many thanks and hope you can help.

found solution...i've now got iphone sync'd between new IMac and macbook pro (meaning that I can now add songs, video, from both computers...i don't know about all that sync of contacts and mail, etc...not concerned with that at moment..)
follow solutions here:....http://www.iskysoft.com/topic-iphone/sync-iphone-with-multiple-macs.html. NOTE: as mentioned in my previous post, I was unable to change my Library Persistent ID, as it would always revert back to the original....however, in the link above, one user, made suggestion to corrupot Itunes Library.itl, and then it will repair itself with Library Persistent ID (of old/original machine), and now it works..!
