I changed the description on 125 photos, though when I try to drag them into a folder the old photo

I just changed 125 individual photos descriptions, though when I try to drag the photos into a new folder the descriptins revert back to the old photo #'s. How do I get the new descriptions to follow ?

You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
You say photo descriptions but it sounds like you are talking about titles - Is this correct
And what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
Exactly what you you trying to do? And what version of iPhoto do you have?

I have been taking screenshots on my mac book pro and they have been saving to my desktop. However when i try to move them into a folder, they don't move at all! I have changed my setting in view options to 'none' but they still don't move?

When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete

When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.

How do I find bad music files? I have thousands of files, but some are bad. When I try to load them into iTunes, it just spins. I need a routine to identify and remove the bad files. Any ideas?

Hi ajoddo20,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You can use Home Sharing to import music and other media from one computer to another. Please use the instructions and information located in the attached article for information on how to complete the process.

I can't transfer downloaded content from my macbook air to my external hdd, when i try to drag it into the hrd drive it wont go in how do i fix this ?

i can't transfer downloaded content from my macbook air to my external hdd, when i try to drag it into the hrd drive it wont go in how do i fix this ?

What format is the external HDD in? If it's NTFS (= proprietary Windows), then OS X can read it but not write.
Eventually copy all content from the drive to a safe place, the re-format. FAT32 is the format which both Windows and OS X can read and write.

My desktop icons mysteriously moved from the left to the right part of the screen. When I try to drag them back to the left, they pop back to the right when I release the mouse. What can I do?

My desktop icons mysteriously moved from the left to the right of the screen, and scrambled the order. When I try to drag them back to the left, they pop right back to the right when I release the mouse. What can I do to place them where I want them on the screen?

A LOT of them dont appear.
What do you see in the window when you click on those? A blank, black window? An exclamation mark? What?

Every picture I import changes from one simple photo to 16 pictures when I try to move them to a folder. Why? I can import from my iphone or my camera and they import fine but then I can't move them anywhere without this crazy page of 16 photos appearing

When I import pictures from either my camera or my iphone via photo stream then attempt to place them anywhere; in a folder for instance, the picture appears in the new folder as 16 small individual identical pictures. The tiny pictues are like a kalidescope and there is no way you can see them or work with them. What is happening? Why are they changing in this wacky way? I'm not very familiar with iphoto or Mac's in general but I'm not doing more than clicking import to import and dragging them into folders.

If you want help with what you are doing you have to tell us what you are doing, how you are doing it and what you have.
iPhoto does not modify anything during import - it makes a bit for bit copy of the original
What version of iPhoto and of the OS do you have? What camera? What mode are you shooting in? (I have an older Sony camera that do this in one mode)
How are you moveing photos and to where (in iPhotoi it is not possible to have photos in folders - folders only hold other folders or albums)
In short we can not see your or your computer and we can only work with details you provide - and they must match iPhoto language

When I try to drag an item into the trash, I get message that Finder wants to make changes; enter password

When I try to drag anything into the trash the message : Finder wants to make changes; enter your password. But I cannot trash the document/folder, etc. I can eject a disk/flash drive etc by dragging to the trash.

Choose your Home folder "Get Info" (command-i) and be sure you have "read & write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. Check under "General" section to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste this command…
mkdir ~/.Trash
Press return.
If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste these commands...
sudo chown $UID ~/ .Trash
Press return.
Enter your admin password (it will be invisible)
Press return.Then enter
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
Press return. Log out and back in, or restart.

How do i move photos from desktop to a specific event. when i try to drag from desktop to event it is put in a new event.

How can I move Photos from an existing specific even in IPhoto? When I try to drag them they go into a newly created event and not my chosen existing one.

Correct.
Drag and Drop the newly created Event into/onto the Event you wish to add it to.
You will be asked if you want to Merge Events.. click Yes.

I have iMove 11 and photos turn very dark when I drag them into the project. Changing colour white balance does not fix the problem.

In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created??

In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created with

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

- How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
- In any event try the following:
- Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
- Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU made and restore.

Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed

I changed the description on 125 photos, though when I try to drag them into a folder the old photo
