Can't edit artist name in bridge metadata

I want to change all references to artist name in my pictures to a different name. I tried creating a metadata template, but the only option to specify is 'date and time original'. It won't let me change anything else. Using CS6.
Anyone help, please?

This is data set in your camera, don't know what you are using but with Canon you can add your name as camera owner using Canon Utility software itself or on newer models even on the in camera software.
The artist name is showing the same name as camera owner.
The only other possible escape might be using a script. But for that possibility you have to ask in the dedicated Bridge Scripting forum, (see link on main Bridge forum page).
Thanks for that. I am going to change my name in the Canon Utility for new images downloaded. But as you can see I have changed my surname, and wanted to change the references to my old name in my existing shots. I'll have a look at the script item you mentioned.

  • Can't edit artist names with ''the''

    Hey. Some artists wrongly named on my walkman. Such as ''the misfits" or "the pixies". They should be Misfits and Pixies. So, when i try to edit artist name from "the Pixies" to "Pixies", it keeps being "the Pixies". Yeah i am sure i am tapping the save button. And i tried with any other artists and i couldn't delete ''the" from artist name.. Having a same issue even after hard reset.

    The info you are trying to edit is hard coded or embeded so you need to use a new app called EEmp3 found here

  • Can't edit artist name in iTunes 11

    After updating to iTunes 11, I cannot edit the artist name. I can make changes in the Get Info box but after selecting OK, the changes do not take place. I am trying to merge songs into the same album but the guest artist names mixed in with the artist has scattered my songs all over the place. Any help would be appreciated.

    ok I think I REALLY solved this. I just pulled 15 thousand songs off my old computer with Vista to new one with windows 8, I was forced to update my itunes which sucked and I put my files in what I though was the right folder, then dropped the files into the itunes interface. I could play my songs no problem so I though I was good. We I was wanting to combine some album and make some hits records and what not and I could not edit anything. I read through all the online posts and nothing that was suggested really worked. We I had downloaded an album from itunes before I started this and on a hunch I went to see if I could edit that album and sure as **** I could. I looked at the file path with itunes 11 they put the files I downloaded into a spot I would not have suspected so I decided to delete my library and move my files to that location and drop them back into the interface. Now I can edit my files, and not only does it change but it changes the actual files (just make sure you have the Keep My Files Organized option). I still hate the verson, it is terrible. What I loves about Itunes was how it was less flash and more function. I wish I could get ride of all the new glitz
    UPDATE  I think the reason we could not edit is because with the new windows the spot where you might have stored your old library might not have write permissions. There might be some way to change some admin settings and fix this, idk

  • BP: can't edit "user name" field in section "employee data"

    Transaction -  BP, tab - identification, Change in BP role - employee.
    why i can't edit "user name" field in section "employee data"?
    Field is unchangeable only for one in a  ~800 BPs.

    Earlier it is possible to change the User ID field.
    Guess that this might be ur prb
    If this BP is used somewhere else I mean in some transaction/CRMD_ORDER/Support message,so it might be not possible to change this now....becuase the log will become incosistent.
    for e.g. if in ticket XXXX i have been assigned as reporter as...BP no 10
    Later you are assigning this to no 10 to some other person or ID ....
    Then the log of CRMD_ORDER or ticket will become inconsistent because the BP is now assigned to a different person who never worked on the same.
    Actualy i have faced this query during one implementation that why we are able to change the UserID of existing BP even if it is used in some transaction/message.
    Might be this is a new correction in the recent release.

  • Can you EDIT a name in your reading list on safari?

    Can you edit the name of an item on your reading list? I know how to delete but not edit. I save a lot of things on the reading list from one site and it names them all the same thing. I am looking for a way to change the names so I can differentiate between them easier.  Thanks.

    No, the reading list entries cannot be edited. The Title and descriptive text are picked up from the attributes of the pages you book mark. You will need to use bookmarks rather than the reading list if you wish to edit it.

  • My ITunes is acting odd.  I have to click on the tabs (ie Music) on the left a bunch of times in order to get to the screen.  Also, I can't edit track names by double clicking on them.  I downloaded the new ITunes as well. Any solutions?  Thanks.

  • Can't change artist name in iTunes 11

    I can't edit the artist names in iTunes 11. I'll select a group of songs and then click "get info" and change the information, and the changes show in iTunes when I'm under "song" but when I sync my ipod or when I'm under the "artist" tab, they are still listed as diffrent artists.
    Example:
    I have Hillsong, Hillsong Live, and Hillsong United songs. I don't want them all the be under diffrent artists, I want them all to be Hillsong. So I select the songs, get info, change the name...and yet still, when I sync, I have Hillsong, Hillsong Live, and Hillsong United.
    I hope this was clear, thank you!

    Ah... another brilliant "feature" of iTunes 11!  There are too many stupidities in this new version to even attempt to itemize here, but this one is truly amazing.  I ran into this problem after buying some classical music from the iTunes Store.  The tracks had the composer's name in the "artist" field and nothing in the "composer" field.  Changing the contents of "artist" seems to work, as icsbicr noted, but then if you play the track, or do Cmd-I, or various other things, the artist changes back to the original (and, in this case, incorrect) content.  If someone at Apple thinks we ought not to be allowed to change "artist" for purchased content, then at least they ought to prevent us from doing it right away instead of seeming to change it and then later changing it back.
    So here's how to fix it.  You don't want to mess with Mickey Mouse circumventions like "various artists" and "part of a compilation" (as suggested in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4607365?start=0&tstart=0), because those tags are INCORRECT.  If you want the information to be correct, you've got to change the tags in the music file itself.  I realize this is a huge pain, but Apple doesn't seem to care too much about causing their customers big pains.  I used a product called Fission from Rogue Amoeba, though there are probably plenty of other products which will do the same thing.
    You need to be careful so you don't get the iTunes data base out of sync with the file system structure.  What I did was copy (not move) the files from the iTunes folders (use "Show in Finder" from the context menu if you're not sure where they are) to another folder somewhere and then deleted them from iTunes.  Then I used Fission to edit the tags in the file to show the correct information and saved the files to another folder (keeping the original files as they were, just in case of trouble).  Then I added the files with the edited tags to iTunes.  The only small problem I can see is that the tracks no longer show up in the "Purchased" list, but I can live with that.
    Good luck.

  • "Current iTunes Song" - How can I make artist name first THEN song title?

    When I have "Current iTunes Song" selected, it shows the song title first and then the artist name. I would like it to be reversed so that people on my buddy list can easily see the artist instead of the song title.
    I have been able to locate a very easy solution to this in the past, but that has seemed to vanish into thin air and I cannot find it.

    You need this I Think.

    Hi,
    when I want to create an index I can not edit the index name which is always tablename_index1 after I create the index with this name, delete it again and create a new one I can edit the indexname.

    This seems to be specific to Oracle 9. I could not reproduce in 10 but did just reproduce in 9. The only way to get the index created was to refresh the connection, just refreshing the table or all tables did not do it. I will log a bug now.

  • Can't override artist name when sorting by artist

    iTunes has selected about half my library of Nine Inch Nails (hasn't been updated or shifted by me for years) and is displaying the artist name as "seasonsinthesky", which I've never heard of - but only when I'm browsing by artist (i.e. all data appears correct when browsing by Song).
    All the "Get Info" data is correct, but it won't pick up "Nine Inch Nails" in search and doesn't display that half of the artist files under that artist name. I would love to fix this, but there appears to be nothing to actually manually correct, as the data and the filing system all seem correct!
    This seems to have just happened with iTunes 11 and I've only just noticed it. It also doesn't appear to have happened with any other artists.
    Any thoughts would be most appreciated!

    Hi AurelianoNile,
    Thanks for your response. I have checked the sort tab and all the data appears correct. (And identical to the other half of the NIN tracks that are still behaving correctly).
    I'm still stuck

  • Can you edit the name showing on Friends list?

    My Apple Watch defaulted my Friends to be the top 12 favorites from my phone.  The problem is my first three contacts are spouse home, spouse work, spouse mobile. On the watch all you see is Spouse, Spouse, Spouse with no idea which goes to witch number.  Is there anyway to edit the names so they show on the Watch differently? Otherwise I'm calling the wrong phone or texting a landline accidently.  I'm using my Apple Watch with my iPhone 5s running iOS 8.3.

    Yeah, that's kinda annoying. I guess the Watch assumes I am only ever calling someone's mobile number. In fact the Friends in the watch do not seem to be linked to the contact. The friends area is very weird and not overly integrated.

  • I can't view artists name under title in compilations on my iphone

    I am trying to find out a solution, but seems it's not solved yet.
    On my Mac in iTunes my music collections is ordered by albums and compilations. All songs has a right tags. Albums has a Artists, Album Artists, Titles. Compilations has a check box Part of Compilation, Artist name, Title and Artist Album field are filed with Various Artists. But for some compilations I have deleted Album Artist just for experiment.
    At iTunes all looks great, I have albums and compilation in that order what I want. But in my iPhone and iPad a cant see artist name under the songs title. It's uncomfortable and not user friendly as for me. Sure it's not an issue in albums when you have an one Artist and one his Album. But in compilation it's very complicated to find some tracks by title.
    Please if you have any thoughts about how to view artists names in compilation under the tracks help me.
    Thank you in advance.

    I have found the same problem topic with some pictures. If it's helps.

  • How can I add artist name on playlist if it is blank?
