Iphoto wont let me edit info

Iphoto'11 Version 9.4.2
OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
My iphoto library is corrupted according to the error message.
I have tried to restore my iphoto library by deleting the iphoto library and copy it back from my timemachine, but the problem remains.
It just happened today.
I can scroll my photo, use "edit" function and others fairly well. But when I try to click "info" the iphoto will shut itself down immediately and show error message that says my library is corrupted.
I have tried rebuild the database. But the problem persists.

HT1349 Itunes update wont let me edit song info ?

I go right click and get info on a track and it simply wont let me edit any info, it never did this before I activated the most recent itunes update. Please someone tell me how to fix this ? its driving me crazy

I had the same problem and I noticed that the songs that I could not edit were all ACC format. The Apple Lossless songs could be edited. To check to see if this is the case with your songs, right-click on a song, select "Get Info", and, under the "Summary" tab, the version is listed as "Kind".
To fix:
1. Highlight a song that you can't edit.
2. Under the "Advanced" menu at the top of your iTunes screen, select "Create Apple Lossless Version". This will create a duplicate song in your library.
3. Check to see if you can edit the new version.
I had to change the format of 6,000+ songs. If you have a large library (or even if you don't, I guess), here is the easiest way to change the formats of all the songs:
1. Highlight a group of songs (I have been choosing groups in alphabetical order).
2. Click on the "Create Apple Lossless Version" option in the "Advanced" menu.
3. When all of the duplicates have been created, the original "bad" versions will stay highlighted in blue.
4. Right-click on a blue area and deleted all of the original versions.
This worked for me but it may have something to do with my settings. You may need to experiment to see what versions of songs will allow you to edit them. Good luck!

IPhoto wont let me purchase. The 'buy book' icon is not clickable.

I made an awesome calendar and album and iPhoto for Xmas which I must purchase ASAP and it wont let me purchase. The 'buy book' icon is not clickable. What do I do and how can I buy my items?

Sorry IGrebe... you'll just have to check it AGAIN!!!
I just spent ANOTHER 7 hours on this thing... in the end it was a single full-page photo that SHOULD have had a solid colored background checked IN THE "BACKGROUND" LIST, but instead it had the palm-tree grey background checked (even though that makes more sense logically to me...) and it stopped everything cold. SO WHAT I NEEDED WAS A SOLID COLOR, even though the lay-out for a single picture shows a grey background...
Let's face it, Apple has some work to do--but in the meantime, so do the users. I had a 28 page book ready a month ago and couldn't get it to work...called Apple Support but that wasn't much use... redid the whole thing with the internet suggestion to put the full-page pictures in LAST but in the end, had to wait to get back at it--redid it a third time --so in all this "quick album" took about 16 hours!! I tried all the on-line suggestions and finally it was changing everything in my full-page background pictures as suggested and checking and re-checking, changing and re-changing... bummer for IGrebe who has 40 pages... it's rather like looking for a needle in a haystack. I felt exactly the way you did... I'd presented the way I wanted it and didn't want to change it.... but I had to be willing to rethink everything, spend hours to make this "simple program" function the way it says it should, and go to bed at 5 a.m. after finally getting this rotten apple to work!
Oh, and when I found the problem, I went back and changed my other pages back to original form ONE AT A TIME to make sure I could still order the book. This works if you're like me and have already 2 or 3 copies of your book so you can use one as a reference. A good memory would solve that issue, but who remembers at 4 in the morning?
Good luck!

Iphoto wont let me open my old library?

My iphoto recently told me it had a bug so i had to quit and when it restarted it, it told me to chose my library or chose create a new one. I tried to select my old library but no matter how many times I clicked on it it wouldnt open. Now im left with a new library but none of my old pictures and I cant even import the old photos from my old library to my new library since it wont even let me do that.... help?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

ITunes wont let update song info AND creates duplicates of song files

When I click "Get Info" some of my song information is grey and won't let me update or change song names, artist names or add artwork. It says the encoding is unknown, but some of it's come straight off a cd!
Also, does anyones iTunes, duplicate songs? I keep getting two files of each song, and I have no idea why.

This can also happen if they are WAV files, as WAV files don't support ID3 tags (i.e. song information tags).
EDIT: On second thought, I think WAV files can have ID3 information, but they don't support artwork. Nevermind.

> Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

My iphoto wont let me open it

So i went to open up iphoto and this is what happened can anyone help me please! i really need to access iPhoto and i dont want to loose all my photos on it!

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Ical reverts and wont let me edit or delete events - help!

I just installed Lion and am using Icloud - I delete an event and it pops back up right before my eyes. I try to change an event to all day, it moves to the all day section for a second and then returns to the original time.
Any ideas?

That's because your iPod shuffle is likely configured to automatically sync with your iTunes library. If you would like to be able to manually add, remove, and edit tracks on your iPod Shuffle, you'll need to enable the Manually manage music option from under your iPod's Summary tab.

how can i edit a pdf file?

Hi Folks,
You can't edit a PDF using Acrobat.com. PDF is a format that is most frequently used to freeze or snapshot a document, for a final stage or archive. As such, it's not typically used as an interactive format, where additional editing is done.
To edit a PDF you need to use Adobe Acrobat desktop software. You can download a free 30 day trial of Acrobat Pro here:

For more information on using PDFs in Acrobat.com and Buzzword, please see the article in our blog:

IPhoto wont allow restart for updates

1st Instal iLife
2nd Open iPhoto , it says I need updates so I install them
3rd Computer says " You need to restart" and presents a nice window to restart.
4th New window pops up that says iPhoto wont let you restart.
5th Growl and force quit
What's going on here?
Message was edited by: Bobsax

I think it's the Welcome to iLife 09 window that wouldn't allow the restart.
That's because it's a dialogue window. It's waiting for input from you. No app will quit while waiting for user input.
