I can't get iPhoto to allow me to add a location to my photos. What am I doing wrong?

When transferring my photo library from a PC to my new Mac, I cannot add a location to them. All the other features work just fine but the location function is unresponsive. Anything I'm doing wrong? I'm new to Mac so its a strong possibility.

here are detailed instructions - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2381

  • I can't get my iPad to work on my tv using apple tv. What am I doing wrong? Was told I could play my apps on the tv

    In the instructions it says to go into home share in advance which is on my computer. I'm using an ipad2 and can't find it! Helpppp.

    Make sure you actually have a 2nd Generation Apple TV and that it's on the same Wi-Fi network as your iPad 2. Using your Apple TVs on screen menu, go to Settings > AirPlay and make sure that it's turned on.
    On your iPad 2, double tap the Home Button to bring up the App Tray/Switcher. The screen should slide up and you will see some app icons there. Slide them to the right and you should see a Speaker icon, a brightness slider, some iPod music control buttons, and a button with a square and a triangle at the bottom. This button is the Airplay button. Tap on it.
    You should see two choices. iPad and Apple TV. If you choose Apple TV, there is a switch that says mirroring. Slide the switch and your content on your iPad should now be mirrored on the TV through the Apple TV. (Some apps don't allow mirroring but most do.)

  • After my successful download of iTunes 64 bit,I continue to get an error message that it's missing Apple Application Support. What am I doing wrong?

    After my successful download of iTunes 64 bit,I continue to get an error message that it's missing Apple Application Support. What am I doing wrong? I've installed it and uninstalled it several times already, but each time I get that error message...

    I've been getting timed out for 2 days now, what finally worked for me was not plugging the phone into the computer and just doing the update through my wifi, worked perfectly, took less than 15 minutes

  • I got a new Ipad 2 and I am trying to get it work in vain. I have downloaded the iTunes on my PC, but even after executing the program nothing happens to the IPAD. I still get the image of the USB cable and the iTunes logo. What am I doing wrong?

    You know that you have to connect the iPad to your PC with the cable that came with it -  and then iTunes should start automatically and it will guide you through the set up process?
    If you have already tried to connect the iPad - and you have launched iTunes - and you still have no luck - reboot your PC and then begin the process again.

  • Am signed in to Adobe and trying to edit a form.  Can pull up form but it will not allow me to me to edit the form.  What am I doing wrong?

    Am signed in to Adobe and trying to edit a form.  Can pull up form but it will not allow me to edit the form.  What am I doing wrong?

    To elaborate on what Sukrit posted, it is likely that the form is not an Acrobat forum but a Designer form or was set for distribution and is locked for editing. I suspect it was probably created in Designer and thus can only be completed in Acrobat or Reader since the PDF is really container for and XML structure and does not have the basics of a PDF document. If that is the case, you either need Designer or you can print to a new PDF and use the field recognition feature of Acrobat to recreate the form. Of course, the latter will require some editing to the form fields in most cases.

  • Can not use my backup photos, what am I doing wrong?

    I am having problems using the photos from my external hard drive. I switch library, and get all the thumbs up in iphoto. When I try to edit them or export in any way, I am not allowed to. This is very frustrating, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    n555:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The "!" in the edit window indicates that iPhoto has lost the link to the original file in the Originals folder. Check in the Originals folder to make sure you have the full sized image files in there.
    Did you rename or move any files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder? That's one way to get the situation you're experiencing but it would be only for those you tampered with. Since it's the entire library then you've probably fallen victim to the damaged database file problem that hit a lot of users.
    If the full sized image files are there you can try to rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options. I'm not optimistic that the rebuild will recover your library but it's worth a try.
    If the rebuild does not work you'll have to start a new library and import the image files from the damaged one as follows:
    1 - rename the iPhoto Library folder that's on the external HD.
    2 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select Create a new library, navigate to the external HD and do so.
    3 - with the new library open, drag the Originals folder from the old library into the open iPhoto window.
    This will give you a new library with the same rolls as the old one. However you'll lose your albums, slideshows, keywords, etc.
    To help protect from this type of problem in the future check out the tip at the end of my signature.
    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.

  • HT204053 When trying to download an app I'm asked for set up three security questions. I can set up the first 2 but it doesn't allow me to to select the third question! What am I doing wrong?

    When trying to download an app on my iPad 3 it asks my to create and answer 3 questions. I can complete the first 2 but the system doesn't allow me to complete the 3rd question! Can anyone help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • TS3992 When I try to back up my iphone onto icloud it won't do it and I get a message saying "The last backup could not be completed." What am I doing wrong and why won't it backup?

    How do I get my iphone to backup?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • You are not allowing me to change my password. Why? What am I doing wrong. I have had the same P/W but recently had my computer worked on so I need help!!

    The tech that changed out the boards in my computer failed to transfer this one and now I am attempting to change my password and it is not letting me accomplish it. I have put in my new P/W over and over again and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Not sure who "you" is. Thunderbird is software rubbing on YOUR computer.
    You do not change your email password in Thunderbird. You do that at your email provider. Go to your providers web mail or email help page and look for a link to do that.
    Once you have a working password that you can remember you need to remove and replace the stored passwords in Thunderbird.
    Here are the instructions for removing and replacing the store passwords in Thunderbird.

  • I can't sync my Itunes playlists to my Ipod.  Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?    It is the 7th generation Ipod

    I am trying to sync my Itunes playlists to my Ipod 7th generation.  With my older Ipods all I had to do was hook the Ipod up to the computer and it would sync the playlists.  I now have Windows 8 on the computer.  Does that make a difference in how Itunes works?
