Cannot edit or add keyword tags

I'm getting this strange behvior and cannot figure out why.
In the Keywording panel, the rectangle where you can enter or edit keyword tags shows a white border. Tags cannot be added or changed. The dropdown above the box is set to Enter Keywords.
Not sure to how restore editing ability.
Thank you,
Robert

Robert,
Exiting and re-opening Lightroom is said to work. This bug has been described here before, but no one has been able to pin down the sequence of operations that causes it. If you can find a consistent way of making it happen, we'd love to hear, and the good folks at Adobe would be glad to hear as well.
Most of the work in fixing a bug is finding a way to consistently reproduce it.

Unable to add Keyword Tags in Organizer PSE 9

I am beyond frustrated at this point. I have never run across a more buggy program than PSE9 (or 8 for that matter). I am particularly having trouble with the organizer in PSE 9. I have spent that last day or so tagging a catalogue of about 2000 photos when suddenly the organizer froze up. I killed it and restarted. Then it wouldn't even load. So I thought to load another catalogue to see if that worked. It loaded up just fine. I switched to the catalogue I had had the problem with and PSE pretty much shut my computer down at that point. So, I restarted the computer, loaded up the organizer and actually got it to open the catalogue. I ran a repair on it. It said that it had fixed some errors. Great, I thought, everything is fine. Well, no, it wasn't. Now whenever I attempt to add a keyword tag, delete a keyword tag, or even add a caption, the organizer just gives me an error. It is only happening on this particular catalogue. I have repaired it, optimized it, and even regenerated the thumbnails. I always get an error when I try to edit anything. I can view the pictures just fine. I can open them up from the organizer into the editor just fine. I just can't delete, add captions or keyword tags at this point. If I have lost the all the work I did last night and today tagging these photos, then I am going to be mighty mad. If anyone has any suggestions, then please let me know. I don't want to think that I have wasted time, and most of all, money on this program. Thanks.

Can't add keywords/tag .bmp files

When I try to open the file info to put on a keyword it is greyed out and it doesn't open. Does anybody know why I can't put keywords on my .bmp's only JPEG's?

I thnk it is the nature of the beast. If you click on a .bmp in Windows Explorer, right click and open properties you will see in Details tab there is no option to enter a tag (keyword). Do same thing with jpeg and the option is available.
Convert .bmp to a different file format, will have a lot of room also. If concerned with keeping highest quality use .tiff.

I cannot edit or add the genre to all songs. It's disabled???

I recently created a new user in my iMac. I'm sharing the music with the other user. I imported the songs... but it doesn't let me change the genre. It's gray.. like if it's disabled. How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Check under the help menu, but you'll probably ned to open the CC Desktop Application and let it find the updates.
Try opening the IDML file. If it opens, it's safe to close ID at this point without saving, then you can re-start, open the IDML file again and Save As with a new filename.

How do I add a keyword tag in iPhoto on the iPad?

I looked through the Help for iPhoto and couldn't find a section on how to add keyword tags to my images.
Things like the names of the people in the photos, etc.
The screen shots of iPhoto show a Face Taggging feature.
How do I get to that?
Thanks for any help or advice!

I talked with Apple Support.
The iPhoto app on the iPad is not the same as iPhoto on the Mac.
It doesn't support adding keyword tags.
Possibly a feature to be added in the future.
I have iCloud enabled for PhotoStream.
So my iPad picture was sent automatically to my download folder on my pc.
I can take it from there into PhotoShop Elements and add the tags.

Keyword tags in PSE 2.0?

Can I add keyword tags in PSE 2.0?

Way back in version 2.0, there were separate programs called Photoshop Album, and Photoshop Elements. Purchasing one did not give you the other.
So, if the question is really about Photoshop Elements 2, I think the answer is probably NO.
If the question is really about Photoshop Album 2, the answer is definitely YES ... but ... it might be a good idea to upgrade to a more recent program, because at some point, PSA2 will not run on your new computer with a new operating system, and people have reported difficulty translating PSA2 tags to more current versions of Photoshop Elements software.

Keyword Tag Copying Not Working

When I generate keywords for a photo, and I copy these keywords (CTL-C) then try to select multiple photos (SHIFT-RIGHT CLICK), then try to paste the keywords (CTL-V), I olny have the keywords pasted to the first photo, not all selected as it was in LR2.
I wonder if anyone else is having this problem. I cannot seem to add keywords to more than 1 photo at a time.
Thank you for your support.

I am in the Library Grid, Lightroom 3, Also I am using Windows 7.
I had no problems with this in LR2.
Thanks again.

If I copy a number to dial pad I cannot edit or anything in between

I Cannot edit or add anthing in dial pad

That is true, it is not possible in the dial pad, but you can easy edit numbers by using the notes, contacts, messages Apps etc.
If I need to edit a phonenumber from dial pad I just copy it into Spotlight, wich can be directly opened in dial pad.

Cannot edit ID3 tags for newly added tracks

I want to stress: this is for iTunes 10.5 b2 but I want to make sure this gets out there so this issue can be resolved sooner rather than later since it's somewhat ESSENTIAL for iTunes to actually function properly.
But I upgraded to b2 from b1 today and now anytime I add any new mp3 files I cannot edit the ID3 tags - in fact I go to edit them and all the options are greyed out...
Anything added PRIOR to the upgrade is editable it's just anything I add since the upgrade. I've tried restarting the app and it still is locked.
Anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone else seen this?

Since iTunes 10.5 is development release only and you as a developer agreed to not discuss it in accordance with your non-disclosure agreement, you should post the question over here -> http://www.developer.apple.com

Any way to globally set "edit keyword tag"

When you double click a keyword in the Keyword List, you're taken to the "Edit Keyword Tag" window, where you have several option boxes to click. Is there any way to globally set these options. For instance, I would like to always forego the option to "export containing keywords." (I'm finding it easier to click the containing keywords according to my preference, which is easy to do, since all the containing keywords appear as part of the hierarchy.)
But of course I don't want to go through each and every keyword that I already have and unclick that option. It'd be far easier to do this globally. Is that an option anywhere?
Thanks,
Robert

You cannot edit the items with the iPod.
You should edit them in iTunes and then sync the iPod.

Why can't I edit keyword tag icons?

2011-05-15 - For some reason, when I attempt to change the photo that appears in the keyword tag for a given person, the button for edit icon is grayed out. Anyone know why this is. Is my database corrupt?

Great! This is the solution I was looking for.
Just to clarify the method:
Select a photo with the tag you want to change the icon.
Double click it in the organizer to open it on the one photo view
Click the tag of the person that you want to change the icon
The People Recognition - Confirmation dialog opens.
Select the confirmed tab.
Choose the photo that you want for the icon from the confirmed photos and drag over the current one, on the upper left corner of the dialog.
Save.
Thanks Axel.

Add filename as a keyword tag

Is there a way to automatically add the filename of the picture as a keyword tag to the picture itself?
I ask this because the pictures I upload to Flickr, for example, just show the filename value if the metadata field Title is empty, otherwise it uses the value from Title and Caption, metadata fields I use to describe the pictures. So, I end up losing the information to link the local picture to the published one.
I understand that doing this, if possibile, would hugely increase the number of keyword tags: 2000 pictures = 2000 different keyword tags used by a single picture. And that could slow down LR.
Anyone have an idea?

See
Filename as a keyword. A simple Forum Search would have brought this up. IT isn't that old.
