Can't change photo location

Hi, looking for pointers from anybody please!
I have a library of 7,000-odd photo's , and I'm working through it refininf the location details of each photo. Recently upgraded to iPhoto 11, and I can't seem to amend the location of a photo... I highlight the pic, press the info button, then drag the red pin to the exact location... but this new location is not stored! When I return to the pic it shows the old location... Even if I type in a place, it doesn't save the new detail (and you can only get vaguley accurate with road names/places).
Also, the map is now tiny, and pretty useless.
Surely  I must be doing something wrong? Surely iPhoto 11 allows users to amend their location data?
Thanks in advance...
Andy

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.

  • Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?

    Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?
    My laptop, which uses Windows 7, came with the hard drive divided between a C and D drive.  the C drive, where all the programs load, is nearly full, and I would like all the photos and videos that adobe elements organizer finds and that I download into load on my nearly empmty and spacious D drive.
    In other programs I can change this is file prefernces, but I cant find that feature in elements.
    Is it possible? and how can I do it?

    SG will probably have more to say about his reply, but in the meanwhile you might want to check out Premiere Elements 11/Elements Organizer 11/File Menu/Catalog Manager... and the Custom Location option. I suspect that is what both of you have in mind?
    When Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are installed on the same computer, they share a common Elements Organizer (catalog) although they can be purchased as standalone products each with its own Elements Organizer (catalog).

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Can i change the location for backup in my widows 7 ?

    How can i change the location for the bacup in my windows 7?Thanks.

    First, make sure iTunes isn't running
    Now, move the C:\Users\(yourname)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ folder to your preferred location. My was F:\iTunesMobileSync. This is up to you.
    Finally, start a command prompt as an administrator. You can do this from the Start Menu, type cmd.exe, then right click and select Run As Administrator. From the command prompt, create an junction point as I do below, just change f:\yournewfolder with your new location.One thing to to make sure of, don't end up with a folder like f:\yournewbackupfolder\Backup\Backup, so be sure to check how your folders ended up when you moved them.
    mklink /J "C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "f:\yournewfolder\Backup"
    You should see something like this in Windows 7. Note the little "shortcut" overlay icon? That's saying this is a link.
    You can also confirm it with dir from the command line. Note the <junction>:
    C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync>dir
    Directory of C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          .
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          ..
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <JUNCTION>     Backup [f:\iTunesMobileSync\Backup]
                   0 File(s)              0 bytes
                   3 Dir(s)  97,594,851,328 bytes free
    If you are still on XP and not Vista or Windows 7, you don't have mklink, but you can use the junction utility in the same way.
    This works.

    Try the fix for yourself.  It's harmless. Just follow TD's directions explicitly.

  • How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

  • HT1689 how can i change store location?

    How can i change store location?

    Select iTunes Store left side of the iTunes window then click the round flag icon bottom right corner of the iTunes window to change countries.
    Apple - Choose your country or region
    Be aware, for purchasing iTunes media, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

  • Just got my ipod touch three days ago. It seems to think I am located in Thailand even though I am in Wyoming. How can I change my location?

    Just got my ipod touch three days ago. It seems to think I am located in Thailand even though I am in Wyoming. How can I change my location?

    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that Apple's database has the incorrect location of nearby routers. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.

  • How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

    My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
    Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
    Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
    In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
    Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!
