Cannot Edit some files in Library

I have a library of images imported from a Nikon D70, Nikon D200, and Canon Powershot S400. For some reason, I am unable to Edit some of the files within my library. There does not seem to be any consistency of the problem with reference to the camera used.
Can you explain the reason for this?

Hi sunsetcliff,
In the Finder, go to your Pictures>iPhoto Library folder.
Select the iPhoto Library folder and do a "get info" on it.
Make sure the permissions are set for you. Hit the button on the bottom of the window to "apply to enclosed items"
Get info on the iPhoto Library folder

  • Cannot edit sudoers file in single user mode.

    I did not back up my sudoers file on my pro.
    I made a change to it, adding my "test" user to be able to use sudo, but upon restarting, it didn't work, and I cannot edit the file via cd in single user mode.
    I mounted the drive, changed permissions, but it seems that I don't have the option to use vi, visudo, vim.
    Thanks for the help.

    I mounted the hdd using the command below.
    I then made sure I could get to the file by cd to it.
    Then once I was there, i would attempt to type vis <tab> to complete, and visudo does not show up. Typed in visudo, nothing. This was on a brand new mb pro. I can wipe it out, but I would rather figure out why its not working.
    The reason for all this is I have to give it to a user at my job. We don't want them to have admin rights to install anything they want, but they need to use sudo in X11 for compiling and such. I read online that I can edit/add their username to the sudoers file, and allow them the right to sudo for compiling, starting apache on their laptops, etc.
    Thanks.

  • Re: Camileo X100 - cannot edit the files

    I bought the Camileo X100 and have been frustrated ever since i got it.
    I cannot edit the files with anything, Adobe premiere CS5 sees them as only Audio, Sony Vegas Studio HD 9.0 only see them as video with no audio.
    I've tried to convert them but, it converts with no sound and poor picture quality or with no video and just sound. VirtualDub gives me an error when i try to convert with it aswell. Quicktime still can't play them even after instaling the Divx package.
    It seems counter productive to make a camera that has codecs that are this hard to edit.
    I ran Gspot and it says H.264/Mpeg-4 AVC supposedly this is standard but, but the issue i think is that it's container is AVI.
    So my question is, should i return this camera? or is there a way to edit on Vegas or Premiere?

    I figured it out on my own. What you need to do is Download Windows Movie Maker 11. Import 1 file at a time and set whatever resolution you want (preferably the same resolution you brought it in as) But make sure when you're saving your video set the bitrate at 10000. So for example my video is 1920x1080, so my export is 1920x1080 at 10,000 bit rate and 30 FPS. With these setting there is absolutely NO loss of video quality. This will work with your S10 too. And the files become editable in Premiere CS5 and Sony Vegas. Have fun!

  • As administrator, I cannot edit certain files unless I add read/write/etc. for the Users group.

    I'm administering a Subversion server running on Windows Server 2008 R2.  When I need to add access to SVN repositories, I need to edit a svnaccess.txt file.  This file sits under C:\Program Files(x86)\CollabNet\Subversion Server.  When I
    attempt to edit the file, though, I cannot save it unless I save it to a new file.
    My account is part of the local administrators group.  All of the folders and subfolders in the path have Full Control enabled for Administrators.  The file itself also has Full Control enabled for Administrators.  Yet, the only way I can
    edit this file is to add Modify and Write permissions to the local Users group even though my account is only part of the local administrators group.
    What's odd too, is that if I can edit these permissions I must have the appropriate administrator privileges.
    I searched for this a while back and recall seeing a hotfix for this as it was a known bug in Windows Server 2008, however, I cannot for the life of me find this link anymore nor do I see a fix like this on the hotfix spreadsheet.  I need to locate
    the hotfix that corrects this to provide to our system admins.  For some reason, they will only install hotfixes if a problem is identified.
    If anyone knows of the hotfix that corrects this issue, please let me know! :)
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    As you said, if a user account belong to local Administrators account, when only Administrators group has permission on a folder, all admins except Administrator account will not have permission to access it.
    This is caused by UAC. All accounts in local Administrators group are actually working as standard accounts. When an Administrator action need to be performed, a prompt will occurs for permission to promote to admin permission. As only Administartors group
    has permission on a folder and the account we are using is working like a standard account, we will be denied from accessing.
    A workaround is to create a new group for all admins and give the group enough permission for accessing the target folder.
    Or you could run all accounts in Administartors group in Admin mode. See this article:
    UAC Group Policy Settings and Registry Key Settings

  • Kodak EasyShare software - cannot edit some scanned JPEGS - pop-up error

    Hello everyone,
    Well, a search through the forums was not even close to what I am experiencing.
    The questions first before the background:
    - Has anyone else ever seen this error?
    - Has anyone been able to get through to Kodak support (maybe their web-site is not Safari friendly)?
    OSX is 10.3.9
    Using Kodak EasyShare v6.0.2 (v45 SKU10) software (the latest available for this OSX). This appy has been behaving reliably for years.
    I have 4 JPEG files that were recently scanned in that EasyShare cannot edit. The pop-up states:
    "One or more of the selected pictures cannot be edited using Kodak EasyShare and will be ignored".
    I've done Repair Permissions and also maintenance scripts via MacJanitor.
    The .JPGs are 20k each, nothing out of the ordinary. I am able to edit (much) larger files.
    Yes, the files can be opened and edited with iPhoto but the end user has been using EasyShare and
    would prefer (undestandably) not to maintain another photo-management tool.
    Regards,
    Craig

    c-squared,
    Yes, the files can be opened and edited with iPhoto but the end user has been using EasyShare and
    would prefer (undestandably) not to maintain another photo-management tool."
    Does that mean that you did open these files in iPhoto and that they opened fine but just not using the Kodak Easyshare app software?
    The reason I ask is that your statement can be read both ways and it is important to know if the jpeg files are corrupt and that is why the Kodak Easyshare cannot open them or if it is something else.
    Have you tried saving the photos on your camera and then reformatting it and trying with some new test photos?
    Generally these forums are for troubleshooting problems with Mac hardware and Apple software and not third party applications.

  • Acrobat XI error "you cannot edit this file as a form"

    Hi
    I have some form fields in an editable PDF file I created earlier and want to copy these over to a new PDF file. However even after saving a copy I get the error message below with no further information. This was never a problem in Acrobat X. 
    I have not password protected it.
    thanks for any help

    if Acrobat/Reader is saying that the file is PDF/A then the file is claiming that it is.
    You can use Acrobat Professional to remove any trace of PDF/A complaince using its Preflight feature.

  • Removed some files from library folder

    moved files from library folder and attempted to put them back after experiencing major changes and problem. This is not correcting the situation what can be done to restore it back to what it was before I started?

    Hi Ali,
    Update, I did a verify permissions with disk utility and some stuff is where it should be now, (recovered iphoto yeah) but still a problem with other things as before.
    So to answer your questions,
    What is the exact path to this folder? And please post the contents of the folder.
    I get to her old itunes by the following path;
    home>music>itunes>itunes music - this folder contains folder icons of all her old itunes library, each artist has a folder, such as amy cook>list of albums>list of songs - if selected will than open itunes and will import to new itunes library.
    I don't quite understand the heirarchy you are describing. Please post the contents of her Home folder.
    Her home folder contains
    Desktop
    Documents
    Library
    Movies
    Music
    Pictures
    plus 9 folders she had created over the past four years these are intact and accessible to proper application programs (ie documents open in appleworks, pictures are from the pictures library not iphoto, 3rd party software such as genealogy programs are intact and up to date)
    "I find some old unchanged items such as itunes, imovie, email mailbox items, in a folder that she created before the change took place in her user
    account."
    What is the exact path to this folder?
    As for this folder some things were moved back to proper places with the above mentioned verify permissions, some like, mailbox items, I was able to import to current settings to restore to how it use to be. From what I gather she created this file when things were going wrong and she feared messing the whole thing up. I access this by the following path;
    home>library>(then the folder she created) Library do not touch.
    When I compare the main library file to my account main library file they do not contain the same items in fact many of the missing items seem to be in this folder that she created. I assume the ones I need are in this file she created but I am really hesitant to just start moving things around out of fear of creating more problems on her side or messing up my side.
    If you have sufficient available disk space, you shouldn't have any problem, but you need a reliable backup, just in case.
    In regards to archive/install - sufficient available disk space meaning as much or more than what I am currently using? How do I check this to be sure?
    Which brings me to a whole new question if you have time?
    We do have an external back up system, which we used before a semi-recent move, (I plan on finding the box it is packed in believe me), however we attempted to use imacs backup program to do a quicker backup, were able to back up her side onto disks, but when I attempted to do the same on my side I received an failure error screen something about a drained buffer and being unable to perform a backup. Please tell me I have not fried my dvd drive!!!
    Thanks again, hope I answered in a way that is helpful to you.

  • Cannot edit MP4 files, maybe compression error?

    Hi, I'm new to Final Cut Express. I just bought it to replace iMovie. But I'm having a issue - only had it open for not even a hour and I started getting a "General Error", specifically "Out of Memory". It was a mp4 clip, like this:
    MPEG-4 MOVIE
    1280x720
    H.264, MPEG 4 HIGH EFFICIENCY AAC
    2 (Audio Channels)
    3,127 (Bit rate)
    45.5 MB
    I browsed the forums for a bit, trying to figure out what I could do to make the errors go away. I've never had problems with compression or anything like this before. I saw somewhere that I should use MPEG Streamclip to convert the clip to .mov using Apple Intermediate, but MPEG couldn't edit the file either, although it played it fine. I tried going in and trying to export to .mov via Quicktime, but it only exported a completely white video with normal audio. I have no idea what to do now.
    Why is this happening, how do I fix or prevent it from happening??
    Message was edited by: BreatheHorror

    I think you missed me a little here... from MPEG Streamclip, I took the original dimensions and tried to convert it to quicktime with the following settings:
    APPLE INTERMEDIATE CODEC
    QUALITY 100%
    UNCOMPRESSED SOUND
    1280x720 UNSCALED
    FRAMERATE 29.97
    When I try to convert like this, using any of the clips (the clip I had originally talked about was one out of a batch of twenty, I tested them all last night after posting a realized they all get the same error) I get a empty, 0kb file and a Error that says it can't prepare the movie.
    FCE won't even open the video at all. I can import it, but when I try to open it with the viewer it doesn't open, it simply spits out a general memory error. It's my Quicktime that does the white screen every time I try and convert the movie through it.
    I will however, try to change the setup of my FCE Sequence... when trying to use this clips I was using HDV-APPLE INTERMEDIATE CODEC 1080i50. I was using it because I need the 1080p (this is for Youtube) and it was the only easy setup that was the size I needed. I'm a noob, I don't have any idea on how to change the size of the video (just any easy setup gives me the old square video, so if I try to change it when rendering the clips would be all placed weird with possible gaps).

  • Cannot copy (some) files to NAS

    Hi,
    I'm trying to copy some .potx-files (PowerPoint templates) to a NAS-server and get an error message (in danish) that says:
    +"Handlingen kan ikke udføres, fordi du ikke har tilladelse til at få adgang til nogle af emnerne."+
    Translated it sounds something like:
    +"The action can not be completed because you do not have permission to access some of the files."+
    - I can copy a .jpg-file to the same NAS-share without any problems.
    - This error occurs once in a while for some files...
    - I have read/write permission to the files and can copy/move them to any other location on the Mac.
    - I have tried different shares on the NAS and the same error occurs ... but only for these files. Not the jpg, or any other file.

    I have read other threads that indicate there is a Finder bug relating to NAS drives in 10.6.x
    Have you tried using a third party utility like Chronosync?
    Or,
    If you are comfortable using Terminal, try the cp command:

  • Cannot sync some files..w

    Hello all.
    I am using Muvo N200.
    I tried syncing a playlist I had and some files could not sync with player. Creative software just says there was an error and thats it. Any idea why a file would not sync?
    Thanks.

    I am using the software that it came with. Can't remember the name. I am just opening a playlist and using the arrow buttons to transfer the songs to the Muvo folder in the right window. Out of 28 songs 0 failed so it works for some but not others.

  • Cannot edit AVI files

    Hello,
    We´ve ran into problem with Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7 Ultimate machine. The problem is, the PPCS4 does not let us edit the AVI files (doesn´t matter what´s inside, DivX, XviD, h264, raw). It recognizes the lenght, but it´s like it stretches out the first 3 or 5 seconds to the (lets say) 3 minutes movie (or whatever the lenght of the footage is), so the audio is skipping, and so is the video.
    We´ve already tried reinstalling all the necessary codecs (including the CoreAVC, DivX Pro, CineForm codecs and so on), we even disabled the built-in system codecs (the ones that are preinstalled in the Windows operating system), but no luck. We can work with other files just fine, including FLV, WMVs and other formats. Only the AVI is problematic, regardless the internal codec. This does not happen in After Effects, and even works in Photoshop. Have anyone experienced this kind of problem?
    Thank you.

    John T Smith wrote:
    >just because they are using AVI files
    AVI really means nothing at all... I could save a MS Word document as MYDOC.AVI and that does not mean that it would edit in Premiere
    The CODEC inside the AVI wrapper is the key... some codecs are meant only to be viewed, others to be edited... view codecs do not edit well, if at all, in Premiere
    If someone brings you a view file, no matter the last 3 letters after the . (that's a dot) then you convert it to an edit file or use a different tool
    I know that.
    JSS1138 wrote:
    we cannot send clients away just because they are using AVI files
    I have to question the legality of editing media using those codecs.  No camera uses them.  The overwhelming frequencey of their use is for video that would be illegal for you to edit.
    As it´s been said before, AVI is just a container, you can put anything into it, not specifically recorders use these, but it´s a common filetype, so people use it. I can´t change what clients give me. If someone comes with .m2ts file, should I call police just because this is a filetype used on Blu-Ray discs?
    So the problem lies in Windows 7 itself, not in Premiere (well, partially), from what I have found, Windows 7 uses the new MF (Media Foundation) and not DirectShow (as in previous versions). Adobe is mostly using DS, and when it comes to that stretching, these are actually segments of the file splitted by Microsoft AVI splitter MF method. It all goes fine IF I put there a file which is using DS, when it comes to MF, this thing happens.
    I´m a little sceptic about Adobe releasing an update .

  • Cannot upload some files to Dropbox through browser UI

    I love and defend Firefox but I have to admit that it is giving me some grief lately. I run a Dropbox account which I access through the browser and its UI allows for drag and drop file uploads as well as more 'conventional' file uploading. In recent days I find certain file uploads are OK via Firefox (such as a 1mb PDF) but I cannot upload for instance a 30mb MP3 or a ZIP file - it tries but ultimately fails. A small 500kb MP3 is fine so it seems to be a file size rather than file type issue (there is a Dropbox limitation on file size but I am way below that). Also when using Firefox with the same Dropbox UI, I get odd errors like 'folder does not exist' even when I am not trying to access a folder or 'there was a problem completing the request' when trying to access a folder, even when it then allows access. I have raised all this with Dropbox forum and I am advised it is a browser problem (they would say that right?). However, I have control-tested using Safari and IE, etc, and I cannot replicate any of the problems. Uploads of large files (the exact same files) are fine in those browsers, no odd errors while testing. I was using Fx V 22x on Win7 x64 Pro but today got a push notification to update to Fx v23.0.1 which I have done, but still these problems persist. My plugins were few, long installed, and sound (Tabmix Plus, Firebug, FireFTP, etc) and not conflicted or out of date. Java was not enabled in the browser. However, to further control test, I have just done a Firefox RESET from the help menu and tried again without any plugins running. Same problem with larger file upload. It seems Firefox is having some issues doing things that other browsers are fine about...

    I have suffered from this during the past three days.
    Firefox 23.0, Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
    on a 32-bit Ubuntu PC. So the system couldn't be more different.
    I was trying to upload .MP3 files of 27MB. From about a dozen attempts with one file, no success whatever. On the other hand a different file worked first time. But a later attempt with a 14 MB .wav failed, so it's not related to the file.
    On the other hand an upload with Chrome worked perfectly. So it does look like a browser problem.
    Watching the system monitor during upload, it runs freely for about 9MB, then stops abruptly. At the same time, the message at the bottom left of the browser window, relating to dl-web.dropbox, disappears.
    The text of the message differed between Firefox & Chrome, but I imagine that's just a textual, rather than a functional, difference.

  • IOS 7 Or Mavericks? Now cannot add .ibooks files to library

    This is wierd, after either my IOS 7 upgrade or mavericks upgrade I did an .ibooks epub using IBooks Author and exported the file to my desktop. Then Opened Itunes and clicked add to library, the book does not appear in the library.
    ZTried this with a regualr EPub and that does not work either.
    But if I go inside Ibooks Author and choose preview entire book I will see it in Ibooks.
    Any help here?

    Am I missing something here? Where are all my books that are in my Itunes library? In ibooks in Maverick I can only see a recent ibooks file I created using Ibooks Author while in Mavericks. I cannot see anything in Ibooks on my desktop which was in my itunes library before.
    How do I view the lone book I have in mavericks on my IPad? It does not add the book to the Library that shows on my Ipad.
    Part of my business is doing e pubs and I cannot have this without knowing why

  • Cannot access some files on my webserver when conn...

    Hi,
    I have a lightweight computer connected to my Business Hub router, running an Apache web server for light use. The router is set up to portforward port 80 to this machine.
    Now, using any device I own, if I connect (wirelessly or otherwise) to this same router, open a browser, type in my router's public IP, and browse around, I see my website, but many files consistently will NOT download (mostly images and unusual file types like .tar.gz and .db).
    If I, or anyone else, uses a different Internet connection (any connection other than the BT broadband service that my router is connected to), opens a browser, types in my router's public IP, and browses around, they see the website and can download any and all files, including images, and archives, and databases, and absolutely everything else.
    Additionally, when I'm connected to my Business Hub router, and I type in the web server's local IP (a.k.a. 192.168.1.xxx), I can download all files fine through the local network. I can't download all these files, as said, by connecting to my own global IP.
    This is very strange. I've asked around on other forums and gotten no response. What's the deal?
    EDIT: I'd also like to mention that this issue has existed for months (since I set up the web server, in fact), and it affects all operating systems and all devices (I've tested on iOS, Windows Vista, Windows 7, several Linux distributions, and from the machine running the server itself).

    This is actually the BT Residential Forum, business users have their own forum at this address.
