Lightroom 2.4/Vista won't let me rename or move folders

When I try to drag a folder to a new location in the hierarchy, I get the following message, "Warning: Could not complete the folder move. An unknown error occurred." When I right-click on a folder, choose rename, type a new name and hit enter, I get this message, "The folder (name) could not be renamed or moved."
I don't know if I have LR 2.4 or Vista to thank for this feature. I bought LR 2.3 a few days ago and installed it on a laptop with Windows XP. Moving and renaming folders worked as advertised. I then installed LR on my new DELL Studio 15 laptop with Vista (32 bit). LR then prompted me to upgrade to 2.4, which I did. So I've made 3 changes simultaneously: new computer, new OS, new version of Lightroom. Where do I go from here?

You're quite right. I compared the permissions in a folder that works with one that doesn't, and they are different. I got bogged down in the computer science trying to change the permissions, but I'll become an expert later; for now, I'm using a different drive, and everything is working fine. Thanks much.

TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.

TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.
I am only able to rename a duplicated .html file right after I create it, because the file name gets highlighted in the Title Bar, but after that there is no recourse. I I can Rename or Save the file if I want to just save it as a .txt, but I need it to be .html. I guess I can manually change the file later, but it's really annoying.

I remember long ago a similar issue with TextEdit, but I can't remember if there was a solution or not.
Do you have it set to Display HTML files as HTML code and also deselect "When Saving a File: Add ".txt" extension to plain text files"

Never seen anything like it. Do iPads get virus'?
Thanks for any help. I've never used this before.
Linda

There are no viruses for the iPad. Close the mail app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

ITunes won't let me import songs from folders

hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.

I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS.

Imovie won't let me save my movie as a file, and it says ''startup disk'' is full!

I made a movie on Imovie and it won't let me download or convert, I don't know what else I can do, and also it says my disk is full, and my macbook is 64 and its impossible, i dont have that much. please help me. I want to save my movie and fix disk because is making my computer slower and doesn't let me save anything because is ''full''. I need to find a way to save the movie complete and as a file and make my computer faster and with it's original memory.
HELP!.

I have the same problem and then some. I movie won't share this particular project, but it also won't save any changes made to it or any other project. At least that's what it started doing, now when I go to even try to make any changes it wigs out and things get scrambled in the Project window and it plays video from another project.
When I create a new project, the Share menu is available, but it won't save changes to that project either. And by that I mean I can put stuff in the project and do whatever, but as soon as I quit and relaunch the application, the project is empty. I did figure out that if I make changes in a new project and immediately share it to the media browser that it will save the changes, but then it messes up my other project even more somehow!
Tried archive and install, deleting plists, reinstalling iMovie and iLife support stuff (twice), repairing permissions, and changing permissions in the project package. Any other ideas?

IWork bug won't let me save in new folders

Hi I'd like to know why all my iWork apps won't let me save my files in new locations.
Every time I try to save something it only lets me save my file to the page it automatically shows me (my documents).
When I try to make a new folder within my documents to save my files, it tells me that the folder is a read-only location. See picture here:
When I checked the permissions in the info of my documents, or the subfolder I try to make new folder in, it says that anyone who accesses my computer can read and write. See picture here:
Please let me know how I can resolve this because I find it very hassle at this point to organize my files without this feature. I have already restarted the computer, Repaired and verified disk permissions, updated all the software and nothing seems to be working. The only way I can make new folders is by making one through Finder first, placing it in the right location, and saving my files there.
Thanks

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Latest airport utility update won't let me rename 5GHz network?

The latest airport utility update changed the name of my 5GHz network and won't let me change it back, anyone else having this problem?

You might want to take a look at AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion. It is very similar to the previous version of AirPort Utility.
Downloads
Yes, you can have both 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and choose the one that you want to use. I think you may find that while 6.0 is fun to look at, 5.6 provides a lot more functionality.

I tunes has decided my original music is the soundtrack to something else and won't let me rename

I have a disc of my original music that I created in a studio that itunes thinks is another album, has named it Original London Cast - The Phantom of the Opera...and won't let me re-name it. This is not correct - it is an original soundtrack. When I try to rename - I get the error message
"You do not have sufficient access privileges to rename the item "Original London Cast - The Phantom of the Opera (Disc 2).
How can I fix this?

Did you check to see if shuffle was turned on? While playing a song, tap the screen (cover art) to bring up the extended music controls (see image below), then tap the shuffle control until it turns white.

It won't let me share my movie. Nothing happens when I click "share" or even in the drop down menu. I don't get options. HELP! I need this video by tonight!

I have worked with iMoive a ton and have never had an issue. I consider myself pretty computer savvy. This new iMovie is not my friend. It will not let me share my new video. I click on the project and click "share" like it says but I don't receive any further prompt. It literally does nothing. I tried the drop down menu and I see the "share" with an arrow indicating there are options but no drop down menu appears. I need this video by tonight to submit for work. HELP!

I got it to share! No reloading iMovie!
I do not have Mackeeper on my laptop
I have the movie files on an external hard drive
1. Close out iMovie
2. Eject the external hard drive
3. Start up iMovie
4. Plug in the external hard drive
5. Go into finder and double click on the folder containing the movie
6. Select the movie as if to edit
7. Share it!
I hope this works for you too

ITunes won't let me watch rented movies!

I have Mac OS X 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3, Quicktime 7.5.5. iTunes message says I can't watch rented movies and recommended another QT version that I can't remember. What should I do? Note: in Systems Profiler, I have QT 7.5.5 in Apps and in Frameworks.

Apparently a lot of people have reading comprehension issues. I have the same problem as op except I use first generation appleTV. So for you slow people let me spell it out.
If you are trying to purchase movies on iTunes (this is the important part so pay attention) running on a computer that does not support HD you are NOT able to purchase HD movies. The message that pops up says you cannot purchase HD movies on a computer that does not support HD.
The question the OP was asking and I have this question also is why does it matter if the computer I am buying the movie on supports HD when the intent is not to play the movie on the computer in the first place. AppleTV does support HD and streams from itunes on the computer.

Storage setting won't let me view or move music

I'm using iPod as a storage device it lets me view photos but not music (despite them all being burnt from CD).
Is there any way to get my music onto a blank iTunes? My laptop was stolen and I don't have all my old CD's so I need to upload my music to my new laptop.

The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection.
For this particular script use the Shift-File-Display Exact Duplicates feature first, next use CTRL-A to select the resulting list, then run the script. Thereafter folow the on screen prompts.

HDMC restrictions won't let me watch a movie shared on my friend's iTunes computer, even though we are on the same network, and have home-sharing on.

Basically, my friend turned on home-sharing, I can see his movies, but when I try to watch one on my computer through iTunes, I get an HDMC restriction of some kind, and I am repeatedly ask to sign into my iTunes account to authorize my computer (which is already authorized). It isn't making any sense to me.
(I am using OS X 10.8.4).

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

TS1424 iTunes won't let me redeem a movie.

It keeps asking me to choose 3 security questions and answers. I can only add one security question on my account from what I can tell. This is the first time it has ever done this and I have redeemed a few other movies in the past with no problem. Anyone know how to fix this or has anyone else encountered this issue?

An account can have three questions on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
If you can’t set them, you don't know their current answers, and the above link doesn't let you reset them then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
