Can't select/highlight pictures

I frequently have a problem where if I have pictures in my document, I can't select them (i.e. to move them, resize them, etc.).  Instead the text around them keeps getting selected.  I try clicking on the picture, double clicking, etc. and every now and then it works, but inconsistently; usually it seems as though Pages has just forgotten that there is apicture there at all.  I also have a similar problem in Keynote.  Any suggestions?  Am I just doing something completely wrong? 

There are a few possiblities, they could be locked or master objects or inline objects.
What version of Pages are yoiu using?

  • How can you select which pictures to upload from camera? plus facebook ?

    Is there any way to select which pictures from your digital camera you would like to upload on to iphoto? Or is the only way to upload all of the pictures on your camera? I have 214 pictures on my camera and 210 of them are already in iphoto...i only want to upload the new 4!
    Another question..
    I am trying to upload my pictures on to Facebook, and they are significantly smaller than the pictures I uploaded via my PC. How can I get them to upload at normal size?
    THANKS!

    Re: the FaceBook problem
    This sounds like you're uploading the Thumbnails that iPhoto uses to display the pics in the iPhoto Window not the pics themselves. Have you been uploading from the Data folder in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Adobe CC installed but I can't select my pictures fro iphoto on the Mac as it is greyed out.

    Help please.  I have subscribed to Adobe CC but cannot access my RAW files from iphoto on the Mac.  I have tried going from iphoto to Export - Original but it says it cannot do it.  I have tried accessing from photoshop and selecting apps. iphoto but iphoto is greyed out.  Is there a setting I have to change to be able to reach my files that I stored on iphoto before getting Adobe CC.

  • Table rows can't be selected / highlighted

    Hi All,
    I would like to know how table rows in BSP can be selected / highlighted. I was working with enhancement in standard application ERP_IT, but I need table rows to be selected to put some validation. Does anyone have an idea how to do this?
    Regards,

    Hi Louie,
    You should pass the following parameters to the TableView.

  • Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

  • Can't select pictures in bridge as they automatically open in acr

    I am using a macbook pro. I have a problem with bridge.  When I have downloaded my pictures with photodownloader, they appear in bridge. There is no problem with them there until I try to click on one, it automatically opens it up in camera raw. I can use the arrow keys to navigate but I have to click on one to start and go through to acr, then quit out and return to bridge. This means I can't select multiple images to edit in raw because as soon as I click on one, it opens in raw straight away.  It makes no difference if I hold down cmd, option or shift or all of them in different combinations or even all at once.
    This problem only recently started - I think maybe the latest upgrade has had something to do with it.
    It is really frustrating!!!

  • After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window.  When I select Media - Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

    After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window.  When I select Media ->Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Can't select iPhoto Background Picture

    Hi.
    Pre Info: Just installed both iLife 8 and iWork 8. iPhoto Library has been re-initialized by iPhoto8.
    Exact Bug description: Use Keynote 8, Create a Shape, click on Shape properties in the Information Window. Try to change to a background picture. I can select any pictures, but the iPhoto Library is inaccessible. It is greyed out. The Same in Pages 8: Can't click to open iPhoto Library for a background pic out of the Information Window.
    Temporal Workaround: Pull the Picture out of the Media Browser onto the Shape.
    Hint: Experienced the "greyed out" Phenomenon with Logic Express 8 "File-Open" also, but it is reproducable with another Mac, too.
    Cheers,
    Fox

    not helpful. it's no feature, it's a bug!
    If there's an option for changing the background picture, one should be able to do so. Or, to make things easier, the function i mentioned should use media browser by default and not the finder / file opener.
    Seems to me that making the iPhoto Library a Package was one of the monday-morning-ideas of apple

  • How can I restore the text selection highlight colour to the default black colour in indesign CC ?

    How can I restore the text selection highlight colour to the default black colour in indesign CC ?

    Manish Shama, thanks for your speedy response. I was able to get into my MAC settings and change the background from the black to whatever color I like, so that helps (THANKS!). But the real issue is that the selected text does not turn white (even though that's what's specified in my MAC settings), it remains black. I really want to have the selection reverse out as it always has for years and years going all the way back to PageMaker Any ideas?

    No

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 can't find my pictures...

    Hi,
    I've created a great video. But... last week we've reorganized all our pictures on the pc. We've created new maps and put all photo's in there and sorted it all out.
    Now, when I try to open my created video's,  adobe premiere elements 3.0 can't find my pictures anymore
    Does anybody have a solution for this ? is it because I moved my pictures at my pc ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    In a word, YES...! When files are moved with Windows and not with Premier or PSE, the programs "lose track of them".
    In PSE you must do a "File" > "Reconnect" > and either "Missing file" which will reconnect a missing file or a group of selected files. (highlighted) Or , the Reconnect > "All Missing Files" command. This is how it is done in PSE. Perhaps in Premier it would be "Missing Project", depending how it was originally filed.
    It is better to "point" the programs toward the file's location by choosing the "Browse" function in the reconnect dialog box, since PSE if not guided will look in all the wrong places first.
    I haven't had Premier Elements open in years, I'm sorry I don't have the exact procedure memorized.

  • I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format.  What is wrong?  Same camera as before.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Can not select TV speakers when connected via HDMI

    I have a MBP fully updated connected to a Sony TV vis HDMI/miniport.  Up until today this configuration was working fine.  Suddenly, I can no longer select the HDMI speakers in my audio preferences.  They are recognized and appear on the list but when I select them it has no effect.  Before today, when the TV was connected the HDMI output would be automatically selected and I could not access the volume control from the menu bar, which is the way I prefer it. 
    I have restarted with no success in changing this behaviour.  If I open/close the lid, the sound goes to the proper settings for about 2s but then the HDMI speakers are de-selected and the built-in speakers are highlighted.  I can manually select the TV speakers but the setting has no effect.
    However, I *am* getting audio output through the TV but can not control volume from the mac or any app.  I slide the volume slider on the menu bar and the audio output does not change.  The sound is also playing from the laptop speakers which is highly annoying.

    and now there is no audio through the TV at all.  TV works fine with other inputs such as PS3.  Any help?

  • Running Multiple SQL in a Single Worksheet: Can I Selectively Run a Single SQL and Append Output?

    In any release of SD, if I have a single worksheet containing 10 sqls. Is it possible to place the cursor on any of the sql and run only that sql, yet, append its output to existing output window. I can then select another sql and execute it and keep appending output. In other words, do not clear existing output or start a new output tab.
    As it exists today (in any release), I can either 'run script' which does append, but it executes all the sql (non-selective). Alternately, I can 'run statement' to selectively run a single sql, but it will clear the output window (or if pinned), start a new one. None of this is what I want.
    Thank you.

    Select the query you want to run. Execute it via F5. Then highlight the next query and repeat.
    The output will append to the Script Output panel.
    There's no way to get 2 queries to share a grid, unless you were to run them as a single query a la UNION.
