Cant edit photo on windows gallery

HI
I have recently had an issue where I cannot edit my pictures on my windows photo gallery just recently I tried to rotate my pictures and I received an error message saying that the task could not be done because the image may be in use or open in another program or is a read only file and it it only on pictures that I have backed in the last month not sure if the iphone is the one corrupting my files and if so how can i fix it?

Hi Loc..
I share my music over 3 Macs..with 4 accounts on each, one for each member of the family..as long as all the itunes are open and they are all set to 'sharing' then everybody can see and play any music on any account on any mac, it shows up as 'shared music' in you itunes sidebar. If my son downloads or imports an album or a cd into his itunes then anyone can play it.
I've tried to keep all the music on the 20" dualcore which frees up memory on the G5 and ibook...it seams to work quite well.
Did a similar thing with iphoto and that works ok, only problem I have had with both setups is Leopards glitchy networking but i'm hoping that will settle down in time, it's still a bit new, I should have waited till 10.5.3 at least...but christmas got in the way..
Hope this helps
Chris....

  • HT4890 cant edit photos on windows live because of photo stream

    Chaning sharing, changing permissions, changing read only does not work. If I transfer pictures from my iPhone to my computer and then try to edit them in Windows live Photo Gallery, I get an error that says the file is in use by another program. This problem started the same day I started using photo stream. Please help. I've tried resetting my photo stream, deleting my photo stream folder on my computer...nothing works. I can not even change the orientation of a photo once i've transfered it from my iPhone to my computer.

    Hi Amish,
    I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
    Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

  • Cant edit photos

    hello i have tried everythign suggested in tryuing to get iphoto to edit photos and i still cant get it to work.
    just now i reinstalled the entire OS (10.5) and installed ilife08 i imported one folder of jpegs (about 2000 images) all the thumbnails work and when i click on the edit button and make changes the thumbnail is updated with the changes but there is no image in the edit view.
    this is now ridiculous... i did a clean install of the OS, ran all software updates, then installed ilife and installed all updates then imported the images (no raw images, jpegs that were exported out of aperture)
    this is getting really annoying and i am spending far more time on this than i really want to. It seems to be a somewhat widespread problem, and yet there is no solution to it.

    Thomas:
    Your iPhoto Advanced preferences pane looks like this, right? What do you see in the edit view, an exclamation mark ( ! ) or a blank white window? The ! indicates that iPhoto has lost the link to the original file. The blank white window can mean no access privileges to the original. If it's the latterdownload and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    If your getting the "!" in the window try rebuilding the library with iPhoto LIbrary Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Cant edit photos iphoto11

    Hi
    I just installed the update for iphoto'11, but now I cant edit any of my photos in iPhoto. "This image has been previously edited with another program or an early version of iPhoto. Duplicate this image to edit it." Is there any settings I can change to get it back the way it was before the update?

  • Cant edit photos from PC

    Oops, there it is. 

    this modular 747 has hijacked 3 of my posts today, this one, one regarding my wish for landscape photo and video to be enabled as default so you dont have to hold phone sideways and a previous one similar saying that when I edit photos on my Iphone that the changes do not transfer to the PC.
    Its like because this one indivual does not share any of these problems they do not apply. 
    I have supported apple products from the start with exception of the PC which was for years the format to use in the business world.  Apple has always been my music, phone and now even apple tv device.  
    Confuses me why one person would take my posts so personal.
    Please go elsewhere if you do not like my posts, or post if you dont like, just stop with the hijacking.

  • Cant edit photos after exporting

    Hello all. Relatively new to Lightroom here so Im not sure if this is a dumb question or not.
    I imported about 220 photos and worked on just about 20 to 25 of them. I then selected those 25 from my collection and exported them to a folder on my PC so I could then import them into Picasa.
    After doing that, I returned to Lightroom to edit more from that collection but could no longer do so. I couldnt make any changes to the ones I previously worked on, but more importantly, I couldnt make any changes to any of the ones I hadnt even touched yet. When you export photos from a folder, does Lightroom automatically prohibit you from changing anything else? It seems the only way I can bypass this problem is just to delete the folder and re-import the photos from my camera again, creating a new folder.
    Am I missing something? How can I go back and edit photos after exporting? Can it be done?
    Thanks!

    Hi Judy
    On the bottom left of the left tool bar there are two buttons. Import and Export. I exported my photos using the Export button. When you do that, the screen that comes up prompts you to set up an export location on your C drive. So I exported the photos to a folder I set up.
    I did not set up a catalogue or export any catalogue.
    I seriously doubt that Picasa had any effect on the folders in Lightroom. The two software application are totally separate. You dont directly transfer photos from LR to Picasa. You need to export from LR first to a location on your PC then Import from that file on your PC into LR. So I dont see how Picasa could effect the photos that are in LR.

  • Web Module Edit Photo Border Flash Gallery

    I am try to edit photo border/frame (color & stroke) in the Web Module.
    This is not the thin lined rounded corner border around  the whole plate.
    Editing the drop shadow would also be nice.
    Appreciate any members help.

    Replying to myself.... I solved the problem by creating a new User Account in my OS.  Solved the Lightroom problem and also a problem with Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5, where it wouldn't open Bridge.

    Sounds like you've set Pages as an external editor.
    iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and set what you prefer as an editor.

  • Can't edit photos in my MobileMe gallery in iPhoto '11

    Hi,
    I have all my photos in my MobileMe gallery. Everything sync very well with iPhoto '11. But I'm surprised by the fact that I can't edit those photos. It keeps saying that the element I selected can't be modified in iPhoto '11.
    Is this because I don't have a local copy of the pictures on my HD ? And if this is the reason, how can I do so I can edit those pictures ?
    Thanks !

    Then you won't have them in your iPhoto library. Only links to them.
    Do you have the option to subscribe to the galleries and/or download the files into your library. Those option are in the gallery's menu bar:
    Click to view full size
    If the download option is available you can get copies of the photos and import them into your library so you can edit them.
    For those photo you want to edit try dragging its thumbnail in iPhoto to the Desktop. Then import the resulting image file back into iPhoto. That should give you a full size copy of it to work with.
    If you can't drag the thumbnail then try subscribing to the gallery, open the subscription window in iPhoto and try dragging the thumbnail there to the desktop. That worked for me.
    UPDATE: If you subscribe to a gallery and then delete the subscription you will be given the chance to download and import those photos into your library as the subscription is deleted.
    This way you can get a copy of each photo in each gallery into your library.

  • HT4858 why cant I edit photos in my photo stream folder on my PC

    why cant I edit photos in my photo stream folder on my PC

    i notice from your post you state you are using Windows XP - iCloud control panel is not compatible with XP so you will not have it installed
    On my Win 7 pc it is located in the pictures library as a folder named Photo stream (as defined by my iCloud settings) this can be placed any where by using options in the control panel
    hope this helps

  • I have edited photos in i-photo and would like to have them printed.  How do i burn them to disc in a format that a windows PC system can read.  I am in India and this is definitely "microsoft" country!  thanks for taking the time to guide me.

    I have edited photos in i-photo and would like to have them printed at any photo development lab.  I am in India and this is definitely "microsoft" country !
    Please advise me how to burn these edited photos to a disc to take to the nearest printing store in a format that "windows" system can understand.
    Thanks in advance.  I look forward to learning about this. 

    Select the pics in the viPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to disk with the Finder's burn command. Result. A disk with a folder of images that any machine can understand.

  • How do I print 4x6 photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery

    Dear Experts, I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer with just one paper tray in which I loaded 4x6 photo paper.
    The printer was purchased in January 2014, the latest drivers are installed. Now I would like to print a single 4x6 photo using Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery.I loaded the 4x6 photo paper  into the tray as indicated by the little icon labeled 4x6in, so I suppose I got the HW part right. It's just the SW part which gives me a hard time. The available paper size options in Windows Photo Viewer and Gallerydon't include photo paper sizes, just the standard paper and envelope sizes.Hence I checked in the HP Printer Assistant in "Set Preferences" what kind of paper sizes are available, and there is exactly the same list as proposed by Gallery, missing photo paper sizes. So I guess Gallery just picks the sizes from the driver and ther are no photo paper sizes. This is an issue because I prefer to print from my PC using Win 7 or Win 8 and not from a SD card or a USB stick. Any help is very welcome, thank you in advance!   

    Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6,  5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats  you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case:  A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

  • Problems with saving edited photos using Photoshop Elements 5.0 on WIndows 8.

    Since a week I can not save the edited photos - when I try the communicate: "Caould not complete your request because of a program error" appeares.
