Event place wrong and can not be deleted

iPhoto has assigned the WRONG place to many of my photos even though they have correct geo-tags. In the past I've found that the wrong place comes from the event and that deleting the event's place stopped masking the photo's correct place. Now I have several events from which I can not delete the place. I can delete it from individual photos to reveal the correct place but I can no longer delete it from the event.
There seems to be several bugs here:
1. iPhoto persistently assigns the WRONG place to events. The event place then masks all photo places. Most of my photos are automatically assigned the wrong place, even though each is correctly geo-taged.
2. The event place assignment is, um, well, I can't remove the thing. When I view the event info I see the wrong place on the map but it is not in the "Place" text box and clicking the "x" does not remove what was not there to begin with.
The only solution I have found is to open the event, select all photos, Get Info, then remove the "place". This seems to un-mask the actual geo-tagged place. I'm a little reluctant to do this on-mass to the whole photo library as it may remove correct geo-tagged places.
Why is the wrong place being assigned to most of my photos? How do I prevent this in the future? How do I remove it from all photos in the library with out removing the correct place assigned to individual photos?

Thanks for the suggestion. I deleted preference and found that I had to go back and remove the wrong place again. But that was not the fault of deleting preferences. Seems that EVERYTIME I open iPhoto is associates the wrong place.
it is not that iPhoto is assigning an unexpected name - it is assigning altogether the wrong location. The photo may be geo-tagged in Utah and iPhoto will "place" it in Washington. And it is not just any wrong place. It is always the same wrong place. Here's a more specific explanation.
Years ago I went skiing in the Cascades at a place called "Yellow Aster Butte". iPhoto naturally does not have this place so I created a place with this name and assigned it to photos of that ski trip. I've been back several times and assigned the place of those photos to "Yellow Aster Butte"
Well, it is that location which iPhoto typically assigns to new photos. Now days most of my photos have a correct geo-tag. Since each photo has a geo-tag I expect iPhoto to recognize the location. Instead it assigns "Yellow Aster Butte" to every photo. If I go and remove this assignment the correct geo-tag will appear.
Well, it is not actually iPhoto assigning the wrong location on import. If I clear "Yellow Aster Butte" from photos, quit, re-lauch, I find that "Yellow Aster Butte" has been re-assigned to the photos.
"Rescan for Location" does not fix the problem. I have to remove the wrong location.
This is not coming from incorrect preferences as I just deleted them. Is there something messed up about my library? I'm beginning to look at Picasa with envy. Geo-tags are going to become more important. I've been hoping that Apple would get this worked out in iPhoto. This sure looks like a bug and it has persisted for a year or two.

The calendar details will not show and gmail is asking for a password. Also, event notifications fro calendar can not be deleted.

A Gmail message pops up each time I open Thunderbird asking for a password. Once I try and enter a password the calendar just shows days not details. I cannot delete events that have happened when they pop up either.

This is an ongoing issue, a few people have had very similar problems since yesterday 9th october. My calendar as been wiped clean and only events written as of yesterday seem to sync, everything else past and future events written before yesterday are no longer on my Tbird/lightning calendar. Thankfully they are still on my google calendar online and synced to my phone so this is an issue between Tbird/lightning/google rovider and google itself. maybe an update has not been checked for compatibility. You are not the only one with this problem.

After "Replace with clip" the original clip can not be deleted from the project - why?

After using "replace with clip" to replace clip A in the timeline with a new clip B , clip A can not be deleted from the project anymore.
If you try to delete clip A, you get a warning, that it still has references in one or more sequences.
If you continue and delete clip A, it seems to be deleted - at first!
Unfortunately if you save and reopen the project, clip A is restored to folder "Recovered clips".
It's not possible to really delete it.
I also did not find a way to unlink clip B from A .
The only thing you can do, is to revert the change by "Restore Unrendered" in the clip context menu. But that's obviously not helping
I dont know if this is a bug or a feature. I understand, that it can be useful to undo the "replace clip" function, but why would anyone not want to be able to delete the original clip at all?
help how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated!
I use Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (Win7 64bit)

I'm sure it has nothing to to with other sequences.
You can easily reproduce this behaviour:
1. create a new project
2. import 2 clips and name them "A" and "B"
3. put "A" in the timeline
4. ALT-drag "B" over "A" in the timeline (or right-click "A" in the timeline while selecting "B" in the project files and select "replace with clip ... from bin")
5. delete "A" from the project files
6. save and close project
7. reopen project
=> "A" reappears in "Recovered clips" and can not be deleted.

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Mid 2013 iMac.

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

Repeated Events in Calender can not be deleted

Grrrr. Figure this one out!
There are a ton of repeated events in iCal in Dec/Jan (all the same event repeated). I can not delete them as it says "Only the organizer can change this event". Furthermore...
They are now syncing with the iphone but there is no "Delete" button there (as it was sent by someone else).
Let me know if you have any ideas...thanks.

Thanks JZ. This actually was a specific event (I had the same problem you described initially). The difference was that ME also showed the dups - just let let me delete.
I finally found the origination of each event...it let me delete those....odd, but worked

I am trying to delete an old version of itunes in my ibook G4 so I can install the newest version and can not delete the old version because it says I don't have enough privileges, help?

iTunes is not installing because its incompatible with your OS. When installing the correct version the new version will update the older version, there is no need to uninstall first.
The last version of iTunes compatible with OSX 10.4 is iTunes 9.2.1
You can down load iTunes 9.2.1 here:

When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place. The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
It does not convert the file. You can delete the original if you wish.

TS1398 bought a mini and also have an IPAD2 have used ITunes to download all programs to the mini but have NOT BEEN ABLE TO have the connection to the Internet and CAN NOT get any emails. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!

I thought when I bought a MINI that all I'd need to do is sync up with ITunes to get all apps and setting to the Mini. I was wrong as I can not connnect to the internet and can not get any emails. Have tried just about all suggestions under support but need to reach out to actual users who may have run into similar prblem. I must be missing something as I have to believe that Apple would make it as simple/easy as possible to connect to the interne. I still have my internet connect with my Ipad2.
appreciate any help on this one as MY WIFE is driving me crazy as she wants to use the internet with HER MINI!!!
Thx Wayne

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

"One or more pages are in use and could not be deleted" - AGAIN.

Open a PDF file.
Save it under a different name
Try to delete a page
You'll get this error:
"One or more pages are in use and could not be deleted"
I've had this billions of times now and the only solution that works 100% of the time is closing and re-opening the file. This leads me to believe it's something with "locking" the file while saving, but not unlocking it after done saving.
GET THIS FIXED PLEASE because it's annoying LOADS and LOADS of people.
As evident by the 7000+ search results for the exact phrase "One or more pages are in use and could not be deleted".
And that's just the part of the userbase that actually reports the problem.
There are several topics about this issue, some marked as "solved" erroneously.
Note, I'm a paying customer, use Photoshop/Illustrator/Dreamweaver/Fireworks and Bridge during my daily work, and have had this issue for months and months across several different computers (two different workplaces, and at home) and have ran into this time and again, when all I want to do is cut a PDF into several smaller PDFs.
Closing and re-opening your program because you're unable to fix this issue is NOT ACCEPTABLE. It's THE WORST kind of user experience, as this issue is the ONLY reason I use Acrobat at all, and it can't even do that.
Cheers,
- Dirk
Ps.: Sorry, I'm very frustrated running into this time and again, and then having to wade through thick mud (your site is a UX nightmare) to report this issue, which has been report oodles of times on this board before.

Yup. I get this problem too. And I'm posting in April of 2015, so I see this problem has existed a long time. Acrobat "Pro" (ha ha) is full of stupid, annoying problems. And the interface is clunky. I'm going use PDF Split and Merge to remove the page I'm struggling with. Ridiculous that Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot remove one page from a PDF file. I am NEVER upgrading this product. I am done with Adobe.
