Cursor won't stay in Title or Comments field

I am using iPhoto 4.0.3. When I click in the title or comments field, the cursor always goes away and I can't type in the field any more. It used to be that if I clicked in the field a second time, the cursor would stay and I could type. Now, it will let me type a few letters and then the cursor disappears and I can't type. Is there a fix for this?

Quit iPhoto and try deleting the iPhoto preference file. It is found at Home/Library/Preferences and is called com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move it to the trash, launch iPhoto, and see if you can edit in the info pane. (You'll have to reset your preferences once in iPhoto.)

Bug: cursor won't stay in edit window

(TLDR: Something about the Ajax used to implement Discussions causes the edit windows to lose focus. )
I'm having this problem using these support communities (discussions.apple.com) with Safari 5.1.7 over OS X 10.6.8.
I'm typing text (like right now in fact) and I am moving my cursor around with the arrow keys. Typically I'm at the start of a line. And then sometimes (well, often but not always) instead of moving up/down, it will LOSE FOCUS - that is, my cursor will no longer be inside the typing box anymore.
Suddenly, typing does nothing, and arrow keys make the page scroll up and down or "Browser Back" (navigate to previous web page)* ... which pops up a warning message that I'm about to leave the web page I'm editing text on.
It doesn't happen on other web sites AFIAK.
* who was the genius who came up with THAT shortcut key? I'm sure it made sense in 1994 when web pages were novel and nobody entered text in them, but now web browsers are app engines, and I bet the majority of all keyboarding is now done in web browsers.

My brushes won't work - they stay attached to the cursor and won't stay on the photo. I have Photoshop Elements 13 and have had varous problems since installation. Anyone have any ideas re my 'brushes'?

Titles and Comments

Can Titles and Comments go with the photo from iPhoto when the photo is moved to another Library, put on a CD or DVD, emailed or used in Pages?

Johin:
To add to Smtr's answer, all metadata added to a photo in iPhoto stays in iPhoto (sort of like Las Vegas). Using iPLM you can transfer that data between libraries. But for any use outside of iPhoto the metadata won't be available.
There's one way to write comments and keywords to the original files on a one time (or 30 day) basis. That's by using Cocktail (not called Expressions Media) to catalog and then write that data back to the files. Check out Tutorial #1 on how to do it.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the div. The elements within this div have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math".

It's caused by this CSS rule:

Try adding this to your CSS, adjust values to suit:

Embedding title or comments into photo?

I know Iphoto won't do this, but is there another program that will take the metadata (title or comments) and embed them into the picture (render them into the picture)?
Gallerie will do a static line of text, but not the comments.
anybody know another way, even as part of a web gallery creator?
Lenny

Lenny:
There is no application that will automatically take the comments and add them to the image. iWatermark, as recommended by clintbradford, can add text but you'll have to add it for each file individually. Any 3rd party image editor with text capabilities can do it. If you expect to get into a lot of advanced editing you might consider Photoshop Elements for Mac. About 80% of Photoshops capabilities at 1/7 the price.

        <h2>Riding the Cable Cars</h2>
        <p>No visit to San Francisco is complete without a ride on the iconic cable cars that climb up the vertiginous hills of the city. Of the twenty-three lines established between 1873 and 1890, three remain: two routes from downtown near Union Square to <a href="http://www.fishermanswharf.org/">Fisherman's Wharf</a>, and a third route along California Street.</p>
        <p>The cable cars rely on cables running constantly beneath the road’s surface. The driver—or gripman—uses a lever to grip the cable to pull the car and its passengers up the hill. The gripman requires not only great strength, but also great skill. He needs to know where to release the cable to coast over crossing cables and points. The conductor works in close cooperation with the gripman, operating the brake at the rear of the car to prevent it from running out of control on the downward slopes.</p>

        <p>Although the cable cars are now mainly a tourist attraction, they’re still used by local commuters to get to and from work. The California Street line is particularly popular among commuters on weekdays.</p>
    </article>
    <aside id="sidebar">
        <h2>Cable Car Tips</h2>
        <p>A single ride on a cable car costs $6. If you plan to travel around the city, it’s often cheaper to buy a <a href="http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mfares/passports.htm">Muni Passport</a>, which gives you unlimited rides on San Francisco’s extensive public transport system, including the cable cars (but not the <a href="http://www.bart.gov/">BART subway</a> system). Even a single-day passport ($14) will save you money if you make a return trip, and stop off to visit Chinatown one way.</p>
        <p>There are often long lines at the cable car terminus, particularly on the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde routes. If you don’t want to wait, try walking a few stops along the route. The conductor usually leaves a small number of places to pick up passengers on the way. The California Street route is generally less crowded (but not as spectacular).</p>

Columns in Finder windows won't stay where I put them!

WHen I open a finder window, put in LIST VIEW, then re-size my columns - everything is good now I can do stuff. BUT WAIT! I do one thing: dragging one folder and nesting it into another and BAM! The columns re-size back to the default. This is a deal-killer for me. I cannot work like this! If there is no fix, SOrry, but goodbye apple and hello Windows.

Open window is a folder named "Photos".
It contains many sub folders: Backyard photos, front yard photos, vacation photos, etc.
It also contains a ton of image files - that I'm sorting into their respective folders.
When I drag an image file titled "Backyard sunny" into the sub-folder "Backyard photos"... the columns all snap back to their default settings. FORCING ME TO RESIZE THEM.... then I drag another photo into another folder and the same thing happens again. THIS IS A SHUTDOWN OF MY USING MAC OS. I either need to return to Mavericks, or this needs to be fixed somehow. This never happened before, and it won't happen in the future, not on my desktop. I'd hate to start asking my wife to start teaching me windows. I've been a mac person my whole computing life (since the early 1990's) and never have I run into a show-stopper like this.
My computer is NON-FUNCTIONAL if the columns won't stay where I put them!

Fix iTunes!!!!! I cannot make changes to my account because I cannot sign in to iTunes since it won't stay up long enough.

This is stupid. Since iTunes 12 came out I cannot open the P.O.S. software on my computer (Windows 7 64-bit). I have uninstalled the correct way, was told that my iTunes library was corrupted and to recreate it, which I did. Then I was told to downgrade my iTunes to an older version. Guess what? I can't because my library was created with a newer version. I cannot make changes to my account because I cannot sign in to iTunes since it won't stay up long enough.
Anyone have any luck fixing this crap program??

As I said, some items cannot be purchased with an existing credit on an account no matter how much it is. It can only be purchased with a charge to a credit card.

The playlist on my iPhone won't stay in order

I teach a fitness class and put on my songs into a playlist for each day's class. As of yesterday my playlist won't stay in order. If I move a song it either goes back to where it was or goes somewhere else within the playlist..... Example: my cool down song started playing after the second song finished!! When i tried to move it to the end, it moved itself to second last.... this is problematic! I don't have the device on shuffle...

I found the problem. I went into view and there it has sort by and I chose Title and that solved my problem. It was weird that this only just started happening and it was only the last few of the Album I was doing.
Now I'm moving my album into imovie and the only problem I'm having so far is that the Ken Burn effect doesn't show what I want it to show on about 10% of the photos. ie, it will pan in on a photo of my mother & father's feet and slowly pan up to the shoulder before the next slide begins. Can you tell me how to adjust the panning so that the subject on the photo is in the imovie?
Thanks, Gordon

Facetime won't stay on with my Mac

I have a relatively new Mac running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1. Facetime worked fine when I got my computer. All of sudden it quit working. I've rebooted. Now Facetime won't stay on. I see the FT window for a couple of seconds and it disappears. When I turn it on I get the following message: "The last time you opened FaceTime, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?" Doesn't matter if I click "Don't Reopen" or "Reopen," the same thing happens, it comes on for a few seconds and then disappears. There is a red #1 sitting on top the FaceTime icon at the bottom of my screen. Help!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Highlighting text won't stay on

When I highlight text it often won't stay on, and when it does and I try to move the selection, it just beeps at me and sits there. What's up?

Ok. In System Preferences > General, Apple applies the term “Highlight” instead of “Selection” color.
In Pages v5(.2), I select a passage of text and it reflects my first sentence color setting. You can leave this alone and visit any menu or side panel setting, and the selection in the body text will remain selected. It will remain selected, if you leave the Pages document and click in another application. When you return to this Pages document, click anywhere but the body text to regain document focus. The next click in the body text should be a click/hold/drag on the selection to move it, or a press of the space bar to remove the selected text. This is mouse-based behavior.
If you are using a Trackpad, whether built-in or external, you must be very careful not to brush against it while in your Pages document, or your selection focus will be lost.
I am using the above Pages on OS X 10.9.4 and do not experience a loss of selection, or an inability to drag/move or remove the selection. I have tried with both mouse and Trackpad following the preceding guidelines and cannot reproduce what you have stated.

New Pioneer DVR-110 installed, "patchburned", BUT drive won't stay closed.

Have had some good advice on how to intall a new DVD/CD drive, but after installing a New Pioneer DVR-110 (I thought succesfully) on my G4, and downloading Patchburn for Panther, the DVD drive now won't function as the computer keeps ejecting or opening the drive tray.
After installing the drive, I installed Patchburn, and Toast did recognize the drive. I then tried to verify disc permissions on the computer and it kept getting hung up during repair/verify saying it lost connection with the drive manager. Tried Onyx to repair/verify permissions and it too gets hung up. (Had to force quit)
Any advice on how to get the drawer of the DVD drive to stay closed and what else I need to do to get it working?... Alas I can not even reinstall my original OSX software now as I can't boot from the disc drive since it won't stay closed.
Thanks, Rob

You can verify the closeness by opening the empty drive door with the KB and then hold the door open and close drawer with the KB.

My Itunes will not stay open, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open

My Itunes will not stay open. Everytime I open it it just gives me a wait signal and then closes down on it's own. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open.... what should I do now?

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

2. Uninstall antivirus using removal tools (Kapersky)
3. Registry trick as
JSB43211 suggested, backup your registry before perform this
1. Open Regedit as Administrator
2. Find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\ key.
3. If you are on a 64-Bit machine, browse to the "Windows x64" sub-key (else "Windows NT x86")
4. Under the "Print Processors" sub-key DELETE ALL THE SUB-KEYS EXCEPT "winprint" key
5. Start the Print Spooler service.
6. Test to see if you can Add a printer.
