I can no longer edit images on external drive if logged in as another user even with permission.

I have two users on my computer. Me (admin) and another log-in for assistants, clients etc.
I use an external drive to hold images.
Lately I've had a problem where if I'm logged in as Other (this side for everyone else), I often am not able to edit images even though the permissions are set for this log-in to have complete read/write capabilities?
Even sometimes when I'm logged in regularly (my admin side) I have received a "File Reservation" error. It says the file is being used by another user. ????
Then it asks if I want to use Read-Only and do I want to be notified when the file becomes available. ????
What's happened to my files?

Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

Can no longer export projects to external drive in FCPX

I've been successfully using FCPX to edit original movies and export them to an external drive. After installing the latest FCPX updates I am suddenly now not able to export anything. The entire Share menu is greyed out. What's the problem?

Thanks David.
I have a hazy idea of all this stuff. For the matter, I have been using a single external drive [Seagate 2 TB, with firewire 800] having 3 partitions: I am using one partition [1 TB] for placing my camera footage [as FCPX is unable to make camera archives of the footage, I am resorting to making disc images of the footage and importing relevant files into my events which I am placing on another partition [500GB] of the external drive which I have named as 'scratch disc'. I keep my projects also upon this scratch disc.
Now my question is this: Evidently in time to come I would have this drive filled up with camera archives [in my case disk images], events and projects. Finished projects would have to be moved over to a different drive [for archiving] and thereby allow space in the working drive to import and edit more clips. After making this duplicate copy, can I boldly delete the project from my scratch disc? While making a duplicate copy of the project, what should be the option I should make? My need for the archived project would be like this: to dub it into other languages. Should I opt for duplicate project and referenced events or duplicate project+used clips only. Whichever of the two I choose, when I reopen the project at a later date from this new drive, will I be able to access all the clips in the timeline of the project and also will the referenced events also appear in the event browser?
Sort of confused and would like to be guided through this important phase of handling or managing data.

I can no longer edit from LR 5 in photoshop CC.

I can no longer edit from LR 5 in photoshop CC. When I right click on the DNG image in my filmstrip, choose edit in> Photoshop CC nothing happens. If photoshop is closed, it will launch the program but does not open my image. I haven't changed any settings that I know of.

Any updates here? I have the same problem. Using OSX.
It works all fine until I changed to the Adobe Creative Cloud thing for photographers.
I installed LR5 even if it was already installed, but not via CC.
After the installation the problem appears.
Maybe I do the full deinstall, install process and see if this cures the problem.

ITunes 10.5 upgrade 32 bit can no longer edit album information

Since upgrading to the latest version of itunes I can no longer edit any of the CD info. When I open the Get Info for an individual track or entire CD all fields with content are grayed. I'm in the Music view, not a Playlist and not the iPod list.
I've checked the actual files and I have permision to ReadWrite.
Any ideas?

Try control clicking on the song and click 'Get Info'. Go to the tab that says 'Artwork', and the image file should be there in a little box. You can then copy it like normal. Just tried it (i have itunes 10) and it works:)

Can No Longer Edit Song Meta Data In Latest iTunes 11.1???

I just discovered that since the update to version 11.1 I can no longer manually edit the meta data by using the Show info function, all options are greyed out. For instance I can no longer adjust the volume level on a song nor can I edit the fields for song title and artist tec. There is also no longer any tab for album art when using the Show Info function on a song that has no album cover art. On songs that already have an album cover there will be an album art tab but the options there are all greyed out so I can not change the album cover art if I wanted too. This really *****, I can no longer edit album cover art for songs that have another cover already and I can not add any cover picture at all for songs that have no cover art (unless I manage to get the cover from the iTunes store but that is very often not successfull).
Another bug I found is that I can no longer add any video file to my playlists.
So this new update really ***** for me and have ruined my itunes experience.
Do anyone else in here have the same problem?
I really hope Apple will fix these bugs as soon as possible!

I think I finally found a solution to this problem. It appears that for some reason, some songs you download will maintain write protection that the original owner had set on his/hers computer. In my case for this Ellie Goulding album that I had problem with, it turned out my friend who gave it to me had some of the songs stored on his iPad and that caused the files to become write protected it seems, and this write protection was transfered over to my PC. To solve this issue, everytime you encounter a song in iTunes that you can not edit just right click it and select Show/View In Explorer, that will take you to the storage location of the file in question. Now right click the song and select Properties and see if it is write protected, if it is then just uncheck that option and click ok. Now you should be able to edit the meta data for that song again. So it appears this is not a bug in iTunes but rather a write protection issue.

Can no longer edit events in Calendar on iPod 2ndG

We have a MP, MBP, iPhone 4S and iPod 2nd G and to be able to sync Calendar and other programs on iCloud we installed Lion. We used to sync the iiPod to the MP but after switching to Lion shifted it to the MBP and she can no longer edit events on Calendar. Is this a setting problem or is it an issue with the IOS 4 on the iPod? Do we have to get an iPod that will accept IOS 5?

Doing an entire report in a table is such a bad idea and really unnecessary.
Sounds like you need to update both Pages and your user tag.
Are you actually on OSX 10.6.8 and what version of Pages are you using?

Can no longer edit song info

I just blindly upgraded my iTunes to 11.2.2 (3) and find that I can no longer edit any information on songs. This is not acceptable. Not only can I not enter missing song writing credits, I can't even tell it to sort by a performer's last name instead of first. I tried going to the actual file location to see if I can change permissions, but it won't let me - it simply says I only have read permission. This is true even for files I ripped from my own LPs, or from CDs I own, not just iTunes Store purchases.
Every time I upgrade I lose capability. I'm about to stop doing it. Anyone have a workaround?

Something tells me that this is a new installation on a new Vista machine correct?
I don't believe version before 7.1 will work on Vista. Its most likely a permission issue on Vista.

About a week before Thanksgiving, all my tiles were removed and replaced with tiles such as Bestbuy, Aliexpress, Macys ect. I can no longer edit these options.

I can no longer edit in "Get Info" since downloading iTunes 11.2.2.3. Please help.

Since downloading 11.2.2.3 I can no longer edit info or add album artwork to any music I add to my library that hasn't been bought through iTuens. It will allow me to make changes on the "Get Info" section but when I hit OK nothing happens. Anybody got a solution?

Check your settings under Edit > Preferences > Advanced. Is the correct media folder location shown, and is Keep... ticked?.iTunes only rearranges content inside the iTunes Media folder if the Keep... option is enabled, and it only offers to send to the recycle bin when deleting things located inside the media folder.

I can no longer edit song and album information in iTunes. I right click on the album, the window opens with "get info", "rating", etc., but none of it operates. What did I change to make it stop working?

You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows. This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10. Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

I can no longer drag images

I can no longer drag images in photo or in apps. Any ideas please?

In photo and the Procreate app I was able to drag images to organise them. Suddenly I am no longer able to do this. The users guide says this is possible and although it is not a major problem it is annoying nonetheless. Is there a solution? Thanks

Been using LR since 2004. My raws are all of sudden jumping around in Develop module. Image does not stay, it goes forward and backwards randomly, even with magic mouse off. Can't edit. Using MacPro, currently everything. Canon 5dmk3 raws

This sounds like a hardware issue. I haven't seen this particular problem reported before.

I can no longer edit images on external drive if logged in as another user even with permission.
