CS6 - Cannot Edit Some Character Styles

Hi, using Creative Cloud, have latest updates. Noticed some character styles will not allow editing, and some will. These are styles originally created by using the "Create new style" icon at the bottom of the panel.
For the ones that won't, neither double-clicking just to the left of the style name (double-clicking on the name itself allows renaming), nor selecting "Character Style Options..." in the panel preferences drop-down works.
Anyone else had this problem? Thanks!
Ingrid

Further to the above.... which is now solved .....
In case any other unfortunate non techie should experience it.......
When you upgrade, some of your prefernces follow you.... this being one of them.
The thing to do is to remove the exisiting and replace everything in the right hand column.
The fact that the browse button above indicates where you really want to edit, the names below are the edit locations it goes to.

Select the style in the panel, then either double click ther style name, right click and choose Edit Style, or open the panel menu and choose Style Options to edit, or reformat some text using the style to be thway you want it and either right click the style or open the panel menu and choose Redefine style.
To delete a style you can drag it to the trash icon or use the panel menu. If it's in use you'll be asked to choose a replacement.

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.

Dreamweaver cs4 fireworks cs6 cannot edit between

Hello in Adobe Land.
I have been using DW CS4 with Fireworks CS4 for some years...no problem.
Recently upgraded to Fireworks CS6, still using DW CS4.
Changed preferences in Dreamweaver ... for jpg, png, etc to FW CS6.
One or two of the images in DW will switch to Fireworks, others will not.
I can swith to Fireworks by right clicking, but it is not really efficent compared to what I had with CS 4.
If anyone with greater understanding of these programmes couldadvise how to improve the situation, it would be greatly appreciated.
Help this pensioner in stress.

Character Styles / Be sure what to delete

hi guys,
How can i tell what paragraph or character styles are absolutely sure that if i delete them and not mess around my text? Is there any way to tell where a character or paragraph style is applied in my text like when performing a Find/Search query? Most of them i can easily delete them and don't ask to replace them with other styles.
but for example if i try to delete Estilo14, the last one in the list it will ask me to replace it for some Character Style, so i suppose it is active somewhere in the text. Nevertheles, if i open Estilo14 Info, it is blank.
any help or ideas?
Thanks and Cheers,
S

thanks for the info afsdfasg. It is a good idea. Nevertheless, i would like to know if there is a way i could actually "see" where the styles are applied in the text.
You can create a condition with a color indicator for each character style, and use Find/Change to find all instances of each character style and apply its condition.
This will take a little bit of work; perhaps it can be scripted, or perhaps the findchangebylist.jsx script in the script samples included with InDesign can be modified to do the work.
[EDIT] The commercial plug-in Slendro Style Reporter (slendro.com) can do this.[/EDIT]

Cannot edit Reminders in iCal

I cannot edit some of the Reminders in iCal on my MacPro. I tried to figure out what's different about the ones I can't edit, and it may be that they are set to "repeat every day" - I can change them on my iPhone with the Reminders app, but it doesn't make sense to me that I can't change that on my computer. I'd like to end the repeat every day w/out having to use my iPhone.
Does anyone know what's the problem - is it fixable?
Thanks

Please, please, please, report the issue that both alarms and due dates at the same time are not possible as a bug here:http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. The more people who submit it, the more likely apple will listen.

Converting Character Styles

In my FrameMaker files, I have several graphics that contain callouts, and I have assigned a Character Style to the callouts. When I created RoboHelp files from the FrameMaker files, the callouts are visible in the graphics but they did not retain the Character Style I created in FM (the callouts appear as plain text in RH). I can edit the Character Style in the RH style sheet, but the appearance of the callouts do not change. I also noticed that in RH, the callouts appear to be embedded in the graphic and therefore I am unable to select them as text. Is there a setting I need to apply when I link the FM files to RH so the callouts are not embedded in the graphics, so that I can apply a character style?

I have moved this post to the correct forum. The original link will still work.

CS6 Character Styles - Keeping Color - Bug!

Hi myself ad a number of colleagues are having the same issue where the fill colors of character styles are not keeping in the file. You create your text, then import character styles, and then it looks like it works, but the fill color doesnt come across. Or if it does, when you close and open the document, the fill for the text is 100K. We have alargen number of documents to edit, and its being a real pain having to reapply the styles each time. It basically defeats the purpose of having the character style function. Please Help!
There are some work arounds, but a fix from Adobe would be really needed! please update CS6 before CC!!

Unable to reset some settings values in Character Style Options back to "inherited"

Hi!
First, unfortunately Paragraph Styles and Character Styles are not so cool as in InDesign in Photoshop. I hope it will be updated in future versions because good typography is very actual now.
Here is one of issues:
I can't set Font Family and Color in Character Style Options back to inherited ones, i.e. to reset/empty it. Onse I set some custom font/color for Character Style (manually or after "Redefine..") I can't remove it, only set new one. And since Character Style is another level of abstraction over Paragraph Style this behavior is very annoying - I always need to check what font is set up for characters, change it or even delete this character style and create a new one with same settings but default (empty) font family.
Fortunately some other settings (font size, leading and all other inputs/selects with editable value) can be reset (emptied) - that's why I consider situation with font family/color as buggy/raw.
What do you think about this? May be I don't know some secret tricks/technics to fix it?
Thank you

I purchased the same laptop from Wal-mart in late August, I have had nothing but problems. Going from one program to another within the computer takes forever, the pages constantly say "not responding", getting on the internet takes all day, anti virus software has been installed, scans have been run which might I add took three days to do because the computer kept freezing and I had to manually restart. Un-installing programs is next to impossible as every time I start and sit and wait 10 minutes later I am still waiting, try to get out of the program and it won't let me. I try ctrl alt del which doesn't help. I took mine back to Wal-mart a week over the amount of time they allow for returns which is ridiculously short and they would not take it back. I have spent numerous hours trying everything under the sun to get this 2 month old computer to work and to meet up to my expectations of a brand new laptop computer and I am almost ready to chunk it out the backdoor. I am very disappointed in this product and will never buy another Toshiba. My family owns a Dell laptop and 2 HP laptops and we love them. This laptop was purchased for my children to do schoolwork as they are homeschooled and unfortunately they have not been able to do ANY! Take my advice, DO NOT BUY this product!

Cannot edit MPEG-2 in Windows Photoshop CS6

Just upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and am attempting (unsuccessfully) to edit some MGEG2 content. The video content has been extracted from Windows DVRMS files using DVRMStoMPEGGUI. I can work with H264 content in Photoshop without a problem.
All MGEP2 videos play fine with both Quicktime and Windows Media Player.
Here is what happens when I try to edit the file in Photoshop
File is read by photoshop and all looks fine. First frame is shown as expected. (see screenshot below)
If I try to play the video in photoshop, the elapsed time counters at the bottom give the impression that all is well, but the video does not play.
Attempting to trim the video does update the overall timings of the video, but the first frame is still displayed.
Rendering the video as H264 appears to work - the export dialog appears and a file does get created. THe H264 file export is playable, but consists of the first frame displayed continually for the duration of the video..
I've checked through other discussions regarding editing MPEG-2 video content in Photoshop and another thread suggested checking that the video content is playable via Bridge. Like with Photoshop, Bridge displays the first frame of the MPEG2 in the thumbnail, but attempting to play it locks up Bridge completely. Doing a "Reset Settings" with Bridge made no difference.
Any suggestions about how to troubleshoot this further?
Here is my setup
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:10, Stepping:4 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, HyperThreading
Physical processor count: 4
Logical processor count: 8
Processor speed: 2660 MHz
Built-in memory: 24567 MB
Quicktime 7.72.80.56 + Quicktime MPEG2 7.60.92.0
Bridge 5.0.1.21 (x32)

Thanks for the quick response guys - I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
Whilst I understand that there are complexities in dealing with MPEG2 content, and using another media format is certainly an option to work around my issue, MPEG2 is listed as a supported file format.
To dig deeper intop the issue, I thought I'd see if I could read any MPEG2 content at all. I've tried downloading a random sample of MPEG2 content from the net - those that Photoshop read exhibited the same issue. That means that I'm either very unlucky with the MPEG2 samples I've picked, or there is a problem with my setup.
Do you happen to know of some MPEG2 content on the net that will work with Photoshop CS6? If I try that and it doesn't work for me, it means there is an issue with my setup. If it does work, the problem lies with the files I'm trying to edit.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters are showing up as green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

Is it possible you accidentally put the fields on the master page?

Why does CS6 InDesign Book epub output generate and apply new graf and character style names in CSS?

I created an InDesign book composed of documents that had had no paragraph or character styles in the palettes until text was copied over from a single overall document. I worked absolutely as clean as I could.
I synchronized the book to that single overall document several times, including immediately before exporting the book to epub. My export settings disallowed any local formatting. Character styles were restricted to one named "Italic" for which the only format applied was Italic in the Font Style field, and one named "Small Caps" for which NO formatting was included in the character style.
There was, as far as I can see, no reason for any character or paragraph styles to export to anything but identically-named CSS entries. That is to say, any text with the character style "Italic" applied in the InDesign doc should have output with the same text with a span class entry of "Italic" around it.
I still ended up with p and span CSS entries with extra numbers appended to them:
span.Italic {
font-style:italic;
font-weight:normal;}
span.Small-Caps-1 {
font-variant:normal;}
span.Italic-1 {
font-style:italic;
font-weight:normal;}
span.Small-Caps-2 {
font-variant:normal;}
span.Italic-2 {font-style:italic;
font-weight:normal;}
span.Small-Caps-3 {
font-variant:normal;}
span.Italic-3 {
font-style:italic;
font-weight:normal;}
and
p.x-SECTION-BREAK, p.x-SECTION-BREAK-1, p.x-SECTION-BREAK-2, p.x-SECTION-BREAK-3 and so on.
Why would the InDesign epub output engine choose to generate and apply new spans and paragraph-level styles, which multiply the complexity of editing the CSS directly? How can I prevent InDesign from doing this?

Perhaps I wasn't clear. When I wrote "an InDesign book composed of documents that had had no paragraph or character styles in the palettes until text was copied over from a single overall document" I meant to emphasize the part where I CLEARLY said "UNTIL text was copied over." The text I copied over had plenty of paragraph styles. I was trying to point out that each individual document had no PREVIOUSLY EXISTING character or paragraph styles that might have added complexity to the epub output. .
So, every paragraph in each document had a paragraph style attached, a total of maybe 20 different paragraph styles throughout the book. The only CHARACTER LEVEL styles I cared about exporting were Italic, for text that was set in italic, and Small Caps, for CAPITALIZED text that I wanted to be able to make smaller in the CSS, since I am not allowed to embed fonts and therefore have no other way of creating small caps in the xhtml files inside the epub.
So, given that I had two character styles applied to various bits of text throughout my InDesign book ("Italic" and "Small Caps"), I would like to know why there are multiple CSS entries generated: Italic, Italic-1, Italic-2, Small Caps, Small Caps-1, Small Caps-2, and so on.
Ditto paragraph styles. I had a paragraph style called "SECTION BREAK" in each document. Not only did paragraph style "SECTION BREAK" contain identical specs in each document--I know they did because I copied each from one single doc where they were being used identically--but I also synchronized the book repeatedly. So why would the xhtml docs and the CSS output need p.x-SECTION-BREAK-1, p.x-SECTION-BREAK-2, and p.x-SECTION-BREAK-3?

In iTunes I click on a song and when I click on the "get info" tab, it opens up but everything is gray - locked, therefore, I cannot edit the year or genre of the songs. Not every song is locked, only certain ones for some reason. Any help?

I ran into the same problem, I think that, If you tab on a song that is on your IPOD, and the song data is grayed-out, I think it means that the song is probably twice on your IPOD and that the iTunes directory can not edit THAT song data for two (or more) files @once. Check if this is the case, sinceI have the same problem,am looking for a way to have One and the same song in more playlists but only keep the song once on the IPOD.
