Can't edit entries

Suddenly, I can enter an event into the calendar for a particular day. BUT I can't enter the time/place/etc. Even wen I hit the "edit" button, the box to edit might pop up but disappears when I try to enter something.
If I do the vertical swipe on the keyboard to show all open programs, I can see the edit box, but I click on calendars and it disappears again. This just started happening last night.
Suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Make sure your Region setting is set to "United States" when you go to Apple > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region.
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
If the issue persists:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Hope that helps.

ICal 4.0.4--can't edit entries after updating to Snow Leopard

After updating from Leopard to Snow Leopard, my iCal 4.0.4 no longer seems to work correctly--I cannot edit calendar entries. Is there a fix for this?

The behavior of iCal under 10.6 is when you double-click the event you get the event window and then you can click edit to modify it's characteritics. If you are not getting that result then something is wrong.
re-imported the saved versions, reset my prefs, and iCal is working again.
The exports were as a safety measure. Removing the files I indicated should not have made your calendars disappear unless they were being hosted on a server like Google or Yahoo. Did your calendars go away after following the above steps?
Are these calendars in the "On My Mac" section of ical on the left or somewhere else?
Create a new user account and see if the same behavior happens there: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html

Help - can't edit entries on calendar - phone is worthless to me....

My Droid X finally arrived today.
I synced my new phone to my google calendar today. I cannot edit any event that was synced, but can edit events created on the phone. I have been on the phone with Verizon, who transferred me to Motorola for almost 2 HOURS now! and still have no answer.
I switched from a BB Storm to this, so far not so good.
If I can't edit my calendar like i could on my BB, this phone is worthless to me.
If anyone can help, please let me know.
Bryan

With all due respect to the OP......
You bought the Droid X for calendar editing and that's it ??? If you can't edit calendar events that synced down, the phone is completely worthless to you ? That's incredible. This phone is the most advanced on the market, and is outselling all others. People in these forums are RAGING to get their hands on one due to the backorder. The phone has a little trouble with ONE function, and you're ready to ditch it ? Amazing. Please don't get me wrong, here. I'm not trying to insult the OP in any way. I just find it..........I don't know...........WOW.

How can I edit the password entries?

How can I edit the values in password manager? Right now for at least one site has the username instead of the password.

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox with a possible feed.snapdo.com infection.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
You should check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Can not edit Calendar Items on iPhone 4 that were sent from Outlook 2013

Hi Folks,
When receiving a calendar item from Outlook 2013, I can accept it, but not edit it. When I receive the same item from Outlook 2003, I can accept AND edit.
How can I edit calendar items sent from Outlook 2013?
We are not using an Exchange server, simply sending the calendar items via email. We noticed this when we upgraded our office from MS Office 2003 to 2013.
Thank you so much for your help!
Ben Bolduc

Are you sure the Outlook 2013 calendar entries are set set to shared?
The following thread seems to document and discuss the topic well:

How can I edit a post I've already posted?

I saw a button that said "Edit this post." I clicked it and got a notice that I must log in before editing my post. I was already logged in. Completed the longin info again, but still kept getting the message that I had to log in first. Closed Safari, reopened, re-logged in, went to the post, and then the button for editing the post was gone.
I see some discussion in this forum, but have not found a post telling exactly how to make the edit function work. Nor do I get results searching on "edit" or "edit post" or "edit forum post."
Nor do I find any mention of this in the Help section.
I did see one place where a person was asking a host to edit one of his posts. This could imply we can't edit our own posts; but then what is the edit button on a posted post for? In any case, it seems there should be some info about this somewhere, and perhaps the dialog box could be more explanitory (as in saying we must log in, when we already are).
Thank you.
I WAS able to edit THIS message. This time the Edit button worked. Maybe the other time was a fluke, or maybe there is a time limit on hitting the Edit button. But again, why was that guy asking a host to do his editing. Any clarification would be helpful. Alas, I now see only two choices: a button to Discard and Cancel, and a button to Edit Message. I'll go with the latter and see if it means "Post."

Hi ChicagoLarry!
If the 15 minute, Edit time span has elapsed, but you still have the post that you want to edit, open in a browser window, the  Edit icon, will still be evident.
But as you have discovered, if you click on it, you will be asked to login, which doesn't really make any sense.
Ideally, the message would be more like "You're allotted time to edit this post has expired."
I've made a suggestion to the Hosts.
Also, each time you edit an entry, the edit time is extended.
For example, if you edit a post 10 minutes after the initial time of posting, you will then have another 15 minutes, in which to edit again.
Each subsequent edit, adds another 15 minutes.
The discretionary editing of posts, by the Hosts, is usually done only for violations of the TOU, posted personal info, serial numbers, Email addresses, posting of commercial Websites, etc., not for misspellings, punctuation, or other minor posting errors.

Can not edit text in a PDF with Adobe acrobat professional version 8

I have a PDF doccument that I can not edit any of the text on. all it lets me do is slide the pages around like images but dose not allow me to delete or add any text. It is not password protected at all.
Any ideas on why this is and how to fix it so I can edit this 40 page pdf?
Thanks,
Tim

Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR
In the Recognize Text dialog, click the "Edit" button.
In the Recognize Text - Settings dialog the middle entry has a drop-down menu.
From this menu you can select one of three PDF Output Styles.

These output styles are discussed in Acrobat Help.

How can I edit and save parts of songs (like a chorus).

How can I edit and save parts of songs (like a chorus).

The iTunes-only way is: figure out where you want your excerpt to begin and end. Right-click the track, Get Info, Options tab, set the Start/Stop times accordingly, and OK out. Right-click again, and choose Create XXX version (where XXX is the format indicated in your Import settings). Right-click one more time, and unset the Start/Stop times.
This procedure will leave the full track in place, and will create a new file and library entry with just your excerpt.

Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc? How do I delete a place I have set up?

Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc? How do I delete a place I have set up? Then I could create a new, correct entry. I'm using iPhoto '09.

Is it OK to reply to my own question?? Thanks to the related posts that appeared AFTER I'd made the post above, I learnt about the 'Manage my places' item under the Windows menu. I felt a bit dumb not knowing this.
BUT it doesn't completely resolve the issue. The info shown in the EXIF (using opt-cmd-I) under Places has the place name I choose, but it is followed by a few other lines that are incorrect and do not seem to be anything to do with any data I can see under 'Manage my places'.
Can anyone explain where these other entries might come from, and how to edit them?

Can't edit certain column [MySQL/phpMyAdmin]

Hi there,
I got a little problem with my new website. The thing is that I got web page that edits entries in my phpmyAdmin database.

Thank you very much for your help!

I barely understand ur script because it's not fully in English but I guess I could say u are trying to update the ortner_terminate table right?I think for the date u should change like below.
$date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($_POST['datum']));
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE ortner_termine SET datum='$date', was=%s, beschreibung=%s, wo=%s, Uhrzeit=%s WHERE id=%s",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['was'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['beschreibung'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['wo'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['uhrzeit'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['id'], "int"));
mysql_select_db($database_Ortner_db, $Ortner_db);
$Result1 = mysql_query($updateSQL, $Ortner_db) or die(mysql_error());
Well, I could say u are trying to display the data on form once u clicked the option from list menu. U have to change the termin_edit recordset by filter it as below.
Not using the URL parameter since u are trying to view the data on the same page.

Can't edit home page

When I select "edit page" on the home page I get an error message (in both CS3 and CS5; I just upgraded because I thought the problem might lie with an incompatibilty with the old version). I have no problems with any of the other pages on this web site. There's no open draft of the page at the time. Help!?!

Thanks for trying, but that doesn't work.
I'm the administrator, owner, and sole user. When I click on "administer websites - manage sent drafts" there are no entries in the manage sent drafts box. And I can't "send for edit" or "send for review" because I have to get a successful response when I click on "edit this page", and that's where the trouble originates.
I've used "save as" to save the page with another name and managed to edit it, but then I can't save it under the "proper" name (which would be index.htm) because I get an error message saying that file name already exists, and I'm not given an option to replace/rewrite the existing file. So I've been unable to publish the new page to the server so that it can see it with my browser. I still get the old version with the browser.
I can't even delete the page (in order to replace it with the new one) because I get that same message error "You can't edit this page because is editing it".
I'm now trying to manage page expiry to see if I can get rid of the original page that way...
Any other suggestions will be most welcome!

Can Not Edit JSP Page

Running SJSC2.1 on XP
I have a project which uses tables and DB
I can not edit the JSP page (the tab for the Page1.jsp page has an asterisk) after the name.
The IDE can not edit the page either, I add a table column for display and the design mode shows the added column but the JSP page does not show the new column, nor does the new column show when the app is deployed..
I can edit the file with wordpad outside of the IDE
What gives???
Thanks

Actually, I did say that I am able to edit the file and save it in WordPad..
Outside of the IDE..
Thanks anyway...
I have restarted the IDE, Rebooted the system (which reboots the app server) made sure there are no "hanging" "app module" entries in the domain.xml file...
Anybody know why the "*" is shown with the filename on the SJSC Design tab..
There was also a series of very small "red somethings" to the upper left of the file name in the Files> listing
The red somethings looked like:
| | | |
| o |
I have no idea what this red something is.. I thought if might say something but even with a magnifying glass it is unreadable, if in fact the somethings is text
Thanks
any help would be appreciated...

Nokia Ovi Suite 3.1.1.90 can't edit synced calenda...

Synced phone calendar data to PC Outlook using Ovi 3.1.190 as backup as phone was being repaired. Phone repaired and Synced data back to phone.
Now get this error message when trying to edit any of the synced calendar entries "Unable to save changes. Calendar entry modified in database by another application."
Solution? How can I edit without having to delete and reenter many of the entries? (I have 620 entries!)

Which phone model do you have? Is phone connected to Nokia Ovi Suite while you try to edit an entry?

How can I edit /etc/mnttab file of a running Solaris 10 Machine?

Hi All,
How can I edit /etc/mnttab file of a running Solaris 10 Machine?
Any ideas, solution, suggestions.
Regards,
Rahul.

Hello Roach,
First, thanks for your quick response.
I am using a Solaris 10 (Sparc ) machine , I want to make sure that no set uid programs get executed in /tmp partition.
Currently I am modifying the value in /etc/vfstab to and adding the value in Mount Options as nosetuid, and restarting the system as a result when the system is rebooted the /etc/mnttab entry is populated accordingly and setuid programs are not executed in /tmp partition.
But I want to avoid the reboot.
I am planning to update the /etc/vfstab as well as /etc/mnttab file directly so that the reboot can be avoided.
I found some function related to /etc/mnttab i.e
(i)getmntent
(ii)resetmnttab
I will go into more details about it now
Regards,
Rahul.

How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window?

How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window? I can figure out just about everything else I can do in the window, but can't seem to edit a bookmark.
thank you

In the Bookmarks Manager you can change the properties of a bookmark in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
That Info pane has a More/Less button to show or hide extra properties.
* You can change the Properties (including the name) of a Bookmark or Tag in the Details (Properties) pane at the bottom of the right pane in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks: Shift+Ctrl+B) after selecting an item. You can rename a tag by selecting the Tags folder in the left panel and change the name in the Info pane at the bottom right.
* You can make changes to a Bookmark in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or in the side bar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks, Ctrl+B) via the Properties entry in the right-click context menu.
* You can open a bookmark in a tab and click the yellow (blue on Mac) star in the location bar to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and see in which folder a bookmark is located.
