How do I edit a post?

I need to edit a post I created, but there is no edit option.
I have about 5 minutes left to edit the post.

It will be too late now (so if you want to add or correct info then add a reply), but if it's the first post (i.e. the start of the thread) then I think that you should get an Edit option via the Actions icon above the post
If it's a reply on a thread then the Edit button should show below the post.
For both you have 15 minutes from the original time of posting

Hi Matt. There is only a very short window of time to edit a post (15 minutes). However, I have spotted your other post and requested a moderator to edit out your contact info.

How do I edit my posted question?

Sorry for the newbie question, but how does one edit their post?

blhooks,
First of all, Welcome to the Discussions!
You may not have realized, but when asking a new question you should post a new topic, which you can do by going to the appropriate forum and then selecting the "Post New Topic" link found at the upper left of the topics list on all the forums.
You query would probably be most likely answered best in the "Expanding Your iMac" of the new iMac Intel forums found @:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1112
Hope that helps some,
littleshoulders [:-)
PS. It's always best not to "tag" onto someone elses topic as this will attract the quickest and best help for your particular question.

How can I edit a post I've already posted?

I saw a button that said "Edit this post." I clicked it and got a notice that I must log in before editing my post. I was already logged in. Completed the longin info again, but still kept getting the message that I had to log in first. Closed Safari, reopened, re-logged in, went to the post, and then the button for editing the post was gone.
I see some discussion in this forum, but have not found a post telling exactly how to make the edit function work. Nor do I get results searching on "edit" or "edit post" or "edit forum post."
Nor do I find any mention of this in the Help section.
I did see one place where a person was asking a host to edit one of his posts. This could imply we can't edit our own posts; but then what is the edit button on a posted post for? In any case, it seems there should be some info about this somewhere, and perhaps the dialog box could be more explanitory (as in saying we must log in, when we already are).
Thank you.
I WAS able to edit THIS message. This time the Edit button worked. Maybe the other time was a fluke, or maybe there is a time limit on hitting the Edit button. But again, why was that guy asking a host to do his editing. Any clarification would be helpful. Alas, I now see only two choices: a button to Discard and Cancel, and a button to Edit Message. I'll go with the latter and see if it means "Post."

Hi ChicagoLarry!
If the 15 minute, Edit time span has elapsed, but you still have the post that you want to edit, open in a browser window, the  Edit icon, will still be evident.
But as you have discovered, if you click on it, you will be asked to login, which doesn't really make any sense.
Ideally, the message would be more like "You're allotted time to edit this post has expired."
I've made a suggestion to the Hosts.
Also, each time you edit an entry, the edit time is extended.
For example, if you edit a post 10 minutes after the initial time of posting, you will then have another 15 minutes, in which to edit again.
Each subsequent edit, adds another 15 minutes.
The discretionary editing of posts, by the Hosts, is usually done only for violations of the TOU, posted personal info, serial numbers, Email addresses, posting of commercial Websites, etc., not for misspellings, punctuation, or other minor posting errors.

How can I edit a post?

Can anyone help me?

Could? Yes.
Would? Not necessarily.
The vast majority of posts edited by the moderators violate the Terms of Use in one way or another, or maybe the poster gave out personal information, etc.

How to edit a post?

Well just from the topic, can some one tell me how i can edit a post that i posted B4 at any forum? Thanks in advance.

Posts can only be edited within 15 minutes of when you made the post. After that you cannot edit it.
You'll notice new green icon to the left of the Reply button about the post. Click on it to edit the post. When that icon disappears you no longer can edit it.

How to edit a post in Apple Support Comunities?

If I just posted something and saw it had typos. Is there any way to edit the post or remove it? I have searched all over for an option to edit my post and see none. I saw someone say that it was possible to edit within 15 minutes of making the post, but no mention of how to do that.

Not sure how fair it would be to leave the initial authorship content
open for editing too long after the thread was up, since that could
make replies to original content irrelevant, or discordant over time.
And people would be more reluctant to offer advice if the first topic
were to change; since nobody else can go back very far to change
the replies. Also, we'd not want to subscribe to a thread if the name
of it changed several times a week.

Try creating a new thread in the Test and Playground forum. If you are able to then go back in and edit the thread after you create it, then chances are your post that is giving you problems is a glitch that was just an unlucky coincidence with a server reset or something similar.

How do you edit text that is in a text box?

How do you edit text that is in a text box? I just want to change the font color of the text. Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
   Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
   Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
This is what the help files recommend
(Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
   Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
   Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
When I try the above solution I don't have a "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.
It would help if you post a representative picture here on the forum page for us to look at.

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

How do I edit photos on my PC?

I found my pics in my library and clicked on the one I want to edt but there is no editing button there. How do I edit my pics?

Shelby
The apps support editing, but the browser version does not. You do have some options, though.
You can edit in Photoshop Elements 11 or Lightroom if you use either program and upload to Revel from there, You can use older versions of Photoshop Elements or Photoshop if you have them or any other editing program and save the photos to your hard disk and then upload to Revel.
You also have access to the free Photoshop.com Photoshop express editor if you are not a user of Elements or another editing program. I gave instructions to another user on this post if you are interested. http://forums.adobe.com/message/5232833#5232833 .
You can sign up to be notified when Revel is available for Windows and Android by going to http://www.photoshop.com/products/revel ….scroll down and look on the right side where it says "coming soon- Notify me" for windows or android. Click and you can sign up to be notified.

How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7 on iPhone 4S ?

I've been trying to find a way to do this since I updated to IOS 7, and I've just found the solution/explanation, even tho is a bit heavy to carry out.
IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

How do i edit a scanned document on a Deskjet F4280?

All my scans end up in HP Photo and i cannot edit documents there. Can anyone tell me how to save my document scans so i can edit them?
Sandie

There is a page with great information about how to perform scans with and without the HP software for the F4280. This page can be found here.
As to saving scans so that you can edit them. What type of scan are you doing? (picture or text document) What type of edits are you attempting?
What is the operating system of the computer connected to the F4280?
