I can't edit any Preferences

Ok so I'm am having the EXACT same problem described in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1892465&
They found the solution and it worked for them. The problem is, I'm not a huge tech geek and don't know how to go about executing the solution described. If someone could help me out here I'd b very grateful, Thanks!

Open up your Applications folder, navigate to the Utilities folder, double click on the Disk Utilities application, click on the icon on the left side of the screen that shows your disk drive, then click on the button that says "Repair Disk Permissions". Let it run for about 10-15 minutes until it says "Permissions repaired" in the window.

  • Can't edit any files anymore - DTR is grayout in NWDS

    Hi Experts,
    For some reason I can't edit any files anymore, i.e. when right click on order.jsp, DTR is grayout. Seems like it happened after I reinstalled NWDS and reimported projects. I tried Sync sources, it did not help.
    Any suggestions / advises?
    Thanks, Jin

    Hi,
    Right now do you have any open activities? If so, is it on the same jsp file?
    If you have a open activity, obviously you will not edit option for the same file again.
    If that is not the case, there might be an update in your track. You need to perform "Update Configuration" on your track. go to Inactive Dc's -> Right click on your track and select "Update Configuration".
    You can also try, Closing and re opening the NWDS and logging in to NWDI again.
    Hope this helps!
    Regards,
    Jaya.

  • I just recently got a new laptop and transfered everything over and it seemed to be ok but now having issues playing videos and can't edit any of my song info in music files

    I just got a new laptop so I had to transfer everything over and I thought everything would be ok but I'm having some strange issues especially with my purchased tv shows, movies, and music videos. They just wont play. Sometimes I'll get lucky and a tv show will play but if I stop it and try again it wont. If I open in Quicktime it works fine. The computer is authorized so that shouldnt be it especially if it plays in QT and like I said sometimes I'll get lucky and one will play. Now the other thing I just noticed is all my music files play fine but when opening and looking at the info of the music file I can't edit anything for example song title or artist the area seems shaded and won't let me do any editing. So I'm having those 2 issues. Video files not playing ones that I have purchased. movies, tv shows and music videos. Also like I said if I just sit there and click one after another I may get lucky and one will play but if I stop it and try again it will not play again. And I can't seem to edit any music file which play fine. I have a new Dell with windows 7 and I have never had this happen any help would be great. The computer is authorized for i tunes so it cant be that.

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

  • How do I change the color of my Google calendar? I can't edit any of my calendars.

    I just recently activated my iPhone 6 and was able to successfully transfer everything from my old iPhone to the new one.
    I used Google to sync my mail, contacts, and calendars, but for some reason, I cannot edit any calendars.  When I open the Calendar on my iPhone, I click on "Calendars" on the bottom.  Once I am here, I click on "Edit", but cannot click on any of my calendars. The names of my calendars show up, but are light gray colored.  I need to change the colors because for some reason, they are all dark colors and I cannot differentiate between them.
    Did I set up my calendar wrong?  Please help.

    I have the same issue on my iPad mini (running iOS 8.1). This problem only occurs with Google calendars. You can see in the attached screenshot that I don't have the problem with other calendars (see Microsoft live.com calendars).
    I have tried adding my Google account as Gmail, Exchange and CalDAV and I see this problem in every case.

  • Problem: Can't edit any table values

    Hi,
    I'm using the latest version of Oracel SQL Developer in XP and cannot edit any table values (ie: the actual data). I've tried the reset of Accelerators as previously suggested to no effect. I know the user has access since TOAD and DreamCoder all allow edits.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Peter

    I was trying to edit by double-clicking the field, which opens an Edit box. And then I had believed I could type a new value in? This was behaviour I was used to in Toad so I appreciate I may be doing it incorrectly.
    Is this not the correct way to edit a value? (without using SQL).
    EDIT: I re-read you're reply and I see what you mean. Going to Table> MyTable > Data (tab) I can add rows and such. But this seems to mean I can't execute an SQL query to pullback specific data and then edit it in-place, in the grid?
    Cheers,
    Peter

  • I can't edit any photos. Try to crop but just moves the whole picture?

    I can't edit photos. I select the crop tool but the mouse pointer just drags the whole image rather than create a box for the crop area? Even the in built photos/projects can't be edited. Nothing seems to work. I select the folder in the projects inspector but the folder contents don't apear in the browser, although individual images appear in the main window, eventually. Begining to think the software is dud or not compatible with the my mac operating system? I've tried re-installing the software.

  • Can't edit any event, no event editor

    It used to be that i could double click on an event to edit it. Right now, iCal is sending me reminders to do something that i no longer need. I want to cancel the reminders (i don't want to delete the event because i'll use it later). I want to get the pop up menu with all choices on it. I want to be able to edit the event. When i tried to do this yesterday, i found that nothing happens when i double click on the event, and when i select the event and go to the Edit menu and choose "edit event," nothing happens. I'm wondering if i accidentally clicked on some kind of finder setting or something that has disabled event editing? How do i get that little pop up menu with all the editing choices on it that i used to get?
    Also, if i create a new event by double clicking in the date field in month view (for example), it creates an event called 'new event." But it will not let me name the event, much less have any other editing options. A google search informed me that i can select the event and hit return in order to be able to name the event but i can't do anything else. If i create the new event by double clicking on a day while in month view, when i look at the event in day view, it has defaulted to 1pm as the time for the event. Every time. If i create another event in month view on that same day, it will add another 1pm event.
    What happened? I used to be able to easily create events with various characteristics by simply double clicking. What am i missing? I tried iCal help, how to edit an event. It just tells me to select things in the Event editor. But i can't get an event editor to open up. That's what i want, the event editor. How do i access it? Maybe something happened the last time i updated the system?

  • I can't edit any of my song details in itunes.

    I recently purchased a new laptop and transferred all my music across to an external hard drive which are permanently connected.
    I added the songs into itunes.
    They play fine.
    But i cant seem to edit the songs. The details are greyed out (read-only)
    What can i do?
    Thanks

    *The details are greyed out (read-only)*
    Set the files so they are not Read Only.
    Also, make sure you have full permsssions to these files and the folder they are in.
    Use Start -> *Help & Support* to find how to do these.

  • I've recently bought a new laptop (win7) and I can't edit any songs on my iTunes.

    I've done all the advice I've seen online, such as change the security permissions on my iTunes folder AND my music folder, as I keep everything stored on my external harddrive, but NOTHING IS WORKING!!!
    I keep going back to see if it's changed back to its original settings and it seems to keep doing that, every time I un check the read only box on both iTunes and my music files, I apply the changes but it just checks the bloody box again.
    I really have no idea what to do, can anyone help?

    It doesn't help?
    It's a big article, with pointers to others. You can recover iTunes purchases directly from the devices, you may be able to recover other iTunes purchases from the iTunes Store, depending on your region. For any other media on the devices you will need the assistance of third party tools, or use the manual extraction techniques.
    Note each device can hold protected content from up to five different accounts. Perhaps someone in the family has loaded up media from a friend's library.

  • I have all my songs on an external hard drive and I've added them to the library but I can't edit any information? Only on songs located on the hard drive.

    All the information about a song can't be changed when the song is located on my external hard drive

    Try changeing your Read/Write permssions for those songs. Just find the song file, Right click, go to Properties then Uncheck Read-Only

  • Can't Edit Language Preference

    Hi;
    I found a script I want to use, but it's written in AS2 and I'm authoring in AS3. So I grabbed the *.fla file and tried to ctr+shift+F12 to edit publish settings and change the language to AS3. But it's not available in the drop-down. Why? What do?
    TIA,
    beno  

    Maybe its a very old version (MX) of a fla file, try o first save it under a different name in the CS4 format.

  • Anyone know why I can't edit my app screen when I plug in my 3g iphone now?  I can edit all the other tabs, but my app tab is all grayed out and I can't add/edit any apps now.  Please help?

    Just last week, I plugged in my iphone 3g into iTunes and for some reason I can't edit my apps anymore.  All the other tabs (music, video, etc.) are all fine, but my apps tab/screen is all grayed out.  I can't edit any of my apps now.  What's the deal?  I can't seem to find anything similar on the support pages, so I'm desperate to find out what the deal is...please help!

    Yes, it's checked as it's how I left it when I was able to edit the page before...now the whole tab is just grayed out and I can't check or uncheck anything. Nothing happens. So frustrated...thanks for any help or suggestions.  I have multiple devices on my account and this is the only one that this is happening with when I connect to iTunes. Ugh!

  • Can't edit ID3-tags in iTunes 7.3.1

    I can't edit any of the properties in the id3-tag editor in iTunes. My files are mp3 and are not protected.
    It seems to work if I convert my files to mp3 (although they are already mp3s) but there a lot of files to convert then.
    What should I do?

    open system preferences
    open network pane
    select airport in the left list
    click the advanced button
    go to the TCP/IP tab
    set the configure IPv6 field to OFF.
    click OK
    click apply
    now try again to connect to your remote speakers.
    if this doesn't help, you may be suffering from wireless interference.
    download iStumbler and note the channels other networks in the vicinity are broadcasting on, then change the channel your network is using as far away as possible from those.
