Can't Edit Library

I used to be able to change song titles, genre, artist, etc by either right clicking or double clicking the song. Cannot do it any longer. It's been a long time, so I'm not sure what I did before but annot figure it out now. Can anyone help me?

Hi Monooxylon and welcome to our community
Try right-clicking and selecting "Edit with...". This should
allow you to browse to where PhotoShop is installed and choose it.
Once you do this, Captivate should remember the setting and use it
from there forward.
Also, keep in mind that the editor can be different for
different image types. For example, .BMP images may open using
MSPaint, .GIF open using FireWorks and .JPG open using PhotoShop.
But you get to choose what opens with what.

  • IPod Nano and iTunes - can't edit Library

    I have an iPod Nano, and just downloaded iTunes 11.3 for Windows. I can see my iPod Library, but I can't edit it - i.e. delete songs to make room to add new. Can anyone help?

    Hey there Bayvette,
    You will want to use these instructions to help you sync music onto your iPod, keeping in mind that you can uncheck any music you want to remove from your iPod and it will be removed when you initialize the syncing process:

  • Can't Edit library image in Photoshop  =(

    I just installed Captivate 2
    After recording my first demo, I tried to edit the slide (the
    "background" image in the library using the EDIT IN command. This
    command opens MSPaint (gahh! what a horrible program!). There is no
    way that I can see to tell it to open Photoshop.
    By the way, in the tutorial on editing your show that comes
    with the program, the movie shows Photoshop being opened.
    In this
    Online
    Article
    , there is a "note" that the external program is set during
    installation, but no such set-up was offered me.
    Please help me to make PHOTSHOP my editor. Thanks! =D

  • Can users edit Library items?

    Hi everyone. I'm almost done with my first Contribute site
    and I had a question. My client has a small piece of text that is
    shown in the header of every page and this text is something that
    they want to change regularly. I added a Library item for this
    chunk in Dreamweaver thinking that this would be the proper way to
    allow them to edit it in one place in Contribute.
    I found where I can grant permissions for editing the various
    types of shared assets, but I don't see that they can edit the
    Library item. Is there a way to do this or do I need to set this up
    differently (server-side include, etc.)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jason

    I think you should use a SSI in your Template and provide
    your user with a link to that include-file, so they can edit it in
    Contribute.

  • Garageband man learning Logic: Can you edit library patches in Logic?

    Is it possible to edit software instrument generator parameters in Logic like it is in Garageband? For example, in Garageband if I create a new software instrument and go into Synth Leads > Arena Run (preset), the window below will show me the generator for the patch (Analog Mono) and allow me to edit the parameters of that generator.
    Is there any way to do this with patches in Logic?
    (Yes, I am a complete and utter newbie, no need to point and laugh now...)

    Yes, sure.
    Plugins would be largely fairly useless if you couldn't edit them...

  • 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 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 tracks after transferring iTunes library.

    Hi,
    I've just bought a new MacBook Pro, and wanted to transfer all of my music and photos to it from my current iMac. I went about this by copying the "iTunes Music" folder in the "Music" section of my user, along with the extra files like "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Library Extra". I did this over a wireless network and it took an age since my library is about 35GB.
    I put the folders and files in the same place they were on my iMac on my MacBook Pro. I booted up iTunes and it worked fine, my library looks exactly the same as it did on my iMac. However, I can't edit any of the track information or even add new album art to existing tracks. I thought I might need to change the permissions of the new tracks as they said 'Read only'. But after changing a few to 'Read & Write' (a long process), there has been no change.
    Can anybody offer any insight into this problem? My iTunes Library is very important to me!!
    Thanks.

    Every file in the massive "iTunes Music" folder was set to 'Read only'. I went and changed a few to 'Read & Write', but when I found those songs in the library, they still couldn't be edited. To go through the entire folder and change each file to 'Read & Write' will take forever! And I'm not convinced that will fix the problem since it hasn't worked for individual tracks.
    Any other suggestions?

  • 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.

  • Can't edit or delete certain songs in my library

    I feel powerless. I think certain songs in my library are "locked" or something, They play okay but I can't edit any of the info or delete them. I can delete the audio file from my music folder, but I still can't delete the song.

    I wish I could mark your reply offensive. I mean really? It's experiencing a moment of gayness?

  • I just recently got a new laptop and transfered everything over and it seemed to be ok but now having issues playing videos and can't edit any of my song info in music files

    I just got a new laptop so I had to transfer everything over and I thought everything would be ok but I'm having some strange issues especially with my purchased tv shows, movies, and music videos. They just wont play. Sometimes I'll get lucky and a tv show will play but if I stop it and try again it wont. If I open in Quicktime it works fine. The computer is authorized so that shouldnt be it especially if it plays in QT and like I said sometimes I'll get lucky and one will play. Now the other thing I just noticed is all my music files play fine but when opening and looking at the info of the music file I can't edit anything for example song title or artist the area seems shaded and won't let me do any editing. So I'm having those 2 issues. Video files not playing ones that I have purchased. movies, tv shows and music videos. Also like I said if I just sit there and click one after another I may get lucky and one will play but if I stop it and try again it will not play again. And I can't seem to edit any music file which play fine. I have a new Dell with windows 7 and I have never had this happen any help would be great. The computer is authorized for i tunes so it cant be that.

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

    Not with your current user id.
    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

    I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
    Any suggestions?

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.
