Can't edit notes

I suddenly am unable to edit previously created notes on both my iphone and my ipad. I noticed it just after I joined iCloud but don't know if that may be a coincidence. I am still able to produce new notes; just can't edit older ones.
Any idea's?

I have found one ugly way to deal with the problem.
Remember how notes are actually mail messages underneath?
To create a note:
1. Create a new email message.
2. Save it as a draft.
3. Move the message to Notes folder.
To edit or delete an existing note:
1. Move the note from Notes folder to Drafts folder.
2. Do what you need
3. If you want to keep the info - save it and move it back to Notes folder.
I wish Apple at least automated this process.

How can I edit note events in Piano Roll?

Hi, I am still using 9.1.8 and in the Piano Roll the rectangles representing note events have a line inside the rectangle and I was hoping to use the event list to get that line to extend the audible length of some long notes.
But changing the length values in the event list seems to lengthen the note not the audible portion which I think is represemted by the line inside the rectangle.Is that true?
Is there a way to get the audible sound to keep playing until the end of the visible note event?

Thanks you both ErikSimon and Pancenter. The velocity can be lengthened ,Erik, by what you describe but to the line in the Piano Roll when adjusted in the event list will only lengthen the note. Sorry,hoor you are right but velocity isn't the problem-sustain length is.
Pancenter hit the nail on the head. The sample libraries are put together appently by developers who have some strange ideas about what orchestral intruments can do in the right hands. I have played Baroque Bassoon here in Europe for 20 years and have sat next to classical flute players who can easily hold a note for the length I need. And it is no problem for them to hit it exactly in tune, but we played in tune=meantone, not everything out of tune=Equal Temperament.
Somehow the false assupmtion that all classically trained musicians are incapale of hittng and sustaining a note in tune at the exact moment needed has becom an accepted belief. This is NOT true, the sound of E.W.Q.L. products is the Romantic 101 mantovani string culture which owes more to hollywood films than to reality.
I now see that all I have to do is replace the whole note with two half notes,the second one muted ,and it should play as I want.
Again thank you both for your brave an wise help.

How do I edit notes on my Mac mini?

I have just switched from a PC to a Mac, and for convenience I am still using Thunderbird for email. As far as I can tell from the User Guide, Notes on the iPhone can be edited in Mail. Is there a way to set up Mail without having it be my default email application so that I can use it just to edit Notes? Can I edit notes in Thunderbird? Or is there some other application I can use to edit Notes? And where do the synched Notes files live on the Mac anyway?
Neil

Thank you, I have now figured out how to do what I want and got my old to do list copied.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

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.

Framemaker uses $filename for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen?

Framemaker uses <$filename> for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen? In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.

Acrobat 9 (Mac) can't edit this particular interactive pdf. Why not?

Hi,
I sent a Word doc off to someone to get him to make an interactive pdf form, checkboxes etc. My caveat was that I had to be able to edit the pdf on my Mac with my version of Acrobat (9.0). ...And guess what. I can't edit it.
Everything works as it should, except for the fact that Acrobat doesn't offer me the option of adding or editing fields in the form. I suspect he used a PC and that this might be a factor....
And yet I've had other people help me out with forms in the not too distant past, and they used PCs, and I never had any trouble.
Has anyone had experience with something like this? Is there a workaround for it? I absolutely need to be able to edit this using my computer.
Thanks in advance!

Some possibilities, all of which will prevent the document from being edited in Acrobat:
1. The form was created with LiveCycle Designer. Such PDFs cannot be edited with Acrobat. You can check by selecting: File > Properties > Description > PDF producer
2. The file has some security restrictions set. You can check by selecting: File > Properties > Security
3. The file was Reader-enabled. You can check as with #2 above.

Problem with iTunes not sorting album/disc sets right, can't edit album info?

Hi there,
I have recently been having an issue with my iTunes software. Here is what is going wrong: I right click on an album in my iTunes library, then select "Get Info." The "Get Info" window pops up, and I seem to be ready to edit my album information. Specifically, I am trying to edit the "disc number" (Disc Number 1 of 33, for instance). I can click on the little number boxes, and I can seemingly edit the numbers inside (i.e., change the 1 to 01). But when I press OK to save the changes, the disc number immediately reverts back to its original variable.
The whole reason I am trying to solve the problem above is a direct result of a previous problem. I recently bought a CD disc set (Haydn's Complete Symphonies) which contains 33 discs. When uploading them to my iTunes, everything was going fine until I reached disc 10 (i.e., the discs were all in the right order in my iTunes library, 1-9). When I hit disc 10, I expected it to show up right after 9 but it instead arrived right in front of 1. I now realize that this must be due to some shortcoming in the iTunes code (it thinks 10 is the next number in the sequence after 1, i.e., 1, 10, 11, 12, or something). I tried another disc (11), and it sure enough it appeared right after 10 (right behind disc 2).
I thought I could solve the sorting issue by putting a 0 in front of the disc numbers (01, 02, 03, etc) in order to get iTunes to recognize the correct sorting sequence. This, however, only created another problem, which is first problem I outlined above: I can't edit the disc information in order to make the vital change.
Could this be due to permissions settings? Is it just iTunes being glitchy? Am I missing something really obvious?
I am running Windows 7, 64 bit and have iTunes version 11.0.5.5 installed.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm having this problem too. It does not seem to be a permissions issue. I have found so far that restarting iTunes will allow me to edit a song I have previously been unable to edit.
This is happening with iTunes 9.0.1 (9) I can't say for sure that it wasn't happening under 9.0 - but I didn't notice it then.
I find that songs are uneditable after they have been downloaded to iTunes. Not all songs, just some, on an unpredictable basis. I don't know if there are other older songs with the same problem, or whether it's just new downloads that are being affected.
I've also noticed that it's impossible to delete one of these songs from a playlist.
So - in summary : Download an album ... 2 or 3 songs on the album will be impossible to edit (song info) and impossible to delete from a playlist ... restarting iTunes allows them to be edited ...
It's a really odd one.

How can I edit my apple ID in the app store the enable update some applications because it not my own that is showing

How can I edit my apple ID in the app store the enable update some applications because it not my own that is showing

It sounds like some apps were purchased using another Apple ID.
ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

Yep.

Can I edit multiclips, but NOT in real time?

I love multiclip editing, but right now I've got 5 angles that were shot without a director calling the shots, so any given edit can require some real decision-making. I often must choose between the lesser of 5 evils, so-to-speak, and I can't really do that in real time.
Is the multiclip function "pause-able?" Can I edit on the fly for a few cuts, pause the process to scrub around for a minute and make a edit decision, and then continue in real time?
Thanks for any insights!

Yes.
If you simply need cutaway shots...
I'll usually set up my multiclip on V1, the activate the V2 track for 'cut-ins'.
I can easily place the playhead over an 'active angle' of the camera I want to utilize, then hit the 'f' key. This will 'find' that point on the original clip, from which I can quickly scrub back and forth to find what I want and drop it on V2.
I've set up a 'quick-key' for the Gang/Open on my '/' key, so I can just hit that after dropping the shot on V2, which gets me back to multiclip functionality.
Once the edit is locked, collapse V1, then select all shots on V2 and shift-drag them down to V1.
Not sure that's what you're looking for exactly, but it works for me. BTW, I make it a habit to only cut a few shots, then stopping, then carrying on. This way you don't lose shots that you like when the 'cuts' are set.

Contact can be edited but not deleted

Hi there,
New poster here and I wanted to share something peculiar about my new kin twom. I seem to have one contact that can be edited but not deleted. When I click the contact, all I get at the top are "favorite" and "edit" buttons. However, all my other contacts seem to have an "edit" button on top as well as a "more" button that, when clicked, gives you the option to "delete", "link", or make the contact a "favorite".
I can live with this non-deletable contact but I'm very curious as to how/why this happened. Anyone have any ideas?

It looks like this is your own contact card, and it may have been accidentally edited. By default, the phone creates a contact card for yourself, and it should have your own name and number in there. You can't delete your own contact
Not sure what the original contact was but I guess it's possible that it was my own contact card. I did not know that the phone creates one for you. What name does the phone assign to this contact?

Itunes song will not delete and I can't edit the info

I added some songs to itunes 9 and now i want to delete one of them. I tried using delete, right-click delete, and edit delete. The window that asks if i'm sure I want to delete the song from the library doesn't even pop up. It's like the song isn't even there. It still played when I clicked on it but I can't edit the info either. I'm unable to click on the info boxes and the tabs for lyrics and artwork are grey. Then I realized I should just delete the actual file from the folder. That deleted from the trash but now the song says it can't locate the file and I have an exclamation mark next to the song name and it still won't delete. I have over 5,000 other songs and have never encountered this problem. I've deleted other songs since using itunes 9 and it has been fine. Is there something wrong with the song file? Please help!
