Moving pins in Place

In Info map, click on the pin does NOT change the color. I can move it, but it does not stay moved. In full pane Places map, the pin changes color to yellow, but can not be moved. What's up?

This doesn't seem correct to me—and Manage My Places doesn't work for my need. I have about 120 photos precisely positioned using GPS - and about 10 where GPS didn't look up information and they ended up not geotagged. I cannot possibly be setting up a new named location for each of the photos (and onwards in the future).
Instead, I would just like to precisely position the photo in the info map. Many places describe how to do this by clicking the pin in the info-panel, the pin turning yellow and then dragging it. You can see a screenshot of this here:

However, my pin will never turn yellow regardless what I do! I found somebody suggesting that deleting iPhoto preferences fixes this. I'll try and report back.

My MacBook pro is freezing at the "moving items into place" phase. I have to restore from time machine each time. I'm talking about the 10.7.4 update

I can't seem to get the 10.7.4 update to work. It constantly freezing at the "moving items into place" phase. I let it run overnight and it's still frozen. I have to restore from time machine backup each time. Any help appreciated.

this is somethinng like the third post i have read about that update causing troubles...
But if I read this right- it is still in the install? Had you restarted and repaired permissions BEFORE the download? As well as emptying cache in safari first?
The other troubles I read had to do with after install, and caused by...oh what was it...it was early morning...an article at CNET news had it...google 10.7.4 update trouble and read the cnet one.

After trying to update itunes it now hangs moving items into place.

I get the error that this copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes (error -42037). I have attempted to reinstall but the install process hangs at moving items into place. I have left it over night, before manually shutting down and trying again, and then left it all day. Still hangs, whilst hanging the time remaining goes up from less than a minute, to 1 hour 6 minutes, to 2 hours 50 minutes etc. I need to fix quickly as I am setting up a new phone and was able to restore all but my music from icloud. I need my music and playlists set up before tomorrow. Thanks

Hi, reinstalling iTunes should not mess with your music et cetera (however some users have suggested on here that it did), but keeping a backup is always recommended anyway.

Software update freezes at "moving items into place"

Do the usual update procedure, but Software Update gets to the "moving items into place" point and hangs. You can't press "stop" you can't quit you can only turn off the machine by pressing and holding the on/off button.

Try booting into Safe Mode, hold down left side shift key when booting, hold untill you see the progress bar (note this will take longer than normal, so be patient)
Log in open disk utilities (Applications>Utilities.Disk utility.app) rhen select (highlght) your volume in the left side bar, click repair permissions.
The run software update again and try the install while in safe mode, if sucessful log out (this will take a little longer as well) and log back normally.

ITunes Install stuck on "Moving Items Into Place" for 3 days

3 days ago, I was unable to open iTunes on my Mac OSX Version 10.9.3. The error message claimed that the file was corrupt and I needed to uninstall and redownload iTunes. I started the download on May 16th in the morning. It got stuck on "moving items into place." After a few hours, I finally managed to force quit and shut down my system. Then, I tried again. It has been stuck on this screen since May 16th. Any idea why I am unable to download iTunes? HELP!

Just found this and it fixed the issue for me, hope it works for you:
- Try booting into Safe Mode, hold down left side shift key when booting, hold untill you see the progress bar (note this will take longer than normal, so be patient)
- Log in and open disk utilities (Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility app) then select (highlight) your volume in the left side bar, click repair permissions.
- The run software update again and try the install while in safe mode, if sucessful log out (this will take a little longer as well) and log back normally.

Difficulty accessing/removing a pin in places

I have a pin in places that I don't know how it got there or how to get rid of it. I have tried the window/manage my places pulldown, but the location I want to delete isn't there (I didn't create this location, I don't know where it came from). I also tried clicking on the i in the bottom right corner and manually changing the location for each photo, but some of them wouldn't move after that and now I can't access the pictures associated with that pin at all! When I click on this particular pin it turns red and then blue but nothing else happens. This is so frustrating! Any help please?

I am having a similar problem. Somehow a bunch of my photos (with no GPS data in them) got assigned to Mount Rainier.
- Mount Rainier is no longer listed in Manage My Places (I thought I could fix the problem by removing it from that list)
- When I click on the "i" on these photos and then the "X", Mount Rainier is not removed.
- If I click on the "i" on these photos and assign a new place, the photo lists the new place in the "i" dialog and it shows up under both the new place and Mount Rainier. If I then click "i" and "X" on the place name, it reverts to Mount Rainier.
- I updated to the latest iPhoto, but that hasn't helped.
- I tried the "Rescan for Location" menu command, but that didn't help.
- I tried exporting one of the photos and then reimporting it. The reimported photo does not have a place (good), but I lost the original date/time of when the photo was taken (bad).
Any ideas how to clear out the bad place information without losing the other information that I want to keep? I suppose I could include title/keywords when exporting, make a note of the original date/time and then "adjust date and time" after importing, but that's a lot of work for more than a few such photos (I have over 30 in this state).

Software update stops on Moving Items into place.

Software update keeps hanging on the 'Moving items into place' when installing the latest version on my MBP13 with Lion 10.7.5 installed.
I just run software update and installed 3 other minor updates which worked perfectly.
Using Software Update to install iTunes 11.0.2 the progress bar hangs at about 90-05% with the banner 'Moving Items into place'. It will not continue. This is the third time I have had this and has been a re-install of the full OS to full resolve.
What is going wrong? Any diagnostics I can do?

I have this same problem only it is for a HP Photosmart printer driver update. But it also happens on Digital Camera RAW Compatibility and Java for OS X 2013-003. Please help!

Apple Software Update HP 2.12 Freezes At "Moving Items Into Place"

This morning Software Update notified me of a printer software update, namely HP 2.12. I quit all other applications and commenced with the update. It made it to "moving items into place" and then froze. I waited for 20 to 30 minutes and there was no progress on the installation past that point. I waited a little longer and then did a hard restart and tried again. Same results except this time I left it for several hours. I had to hard restart again and then downloaded the update manually to install it thinking that there was a problem with Software Update itself. The updater has frozen at the same place. I am working on a Macbook early 2008 running 10.7.5 with 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to deal with the problem? Thank you.

Irelander,
Glad to hear you are back up and running. Please let us know ASAP if you run into further problems.
Best of Luck!
I work with HP but my posts and opinions are my own.

Software Update stuck: "Moving files into place"

Software Update stuck. In OS C Lion (10.7.4) I ran Software Update on 25-Jul-2012 (The day when OS X Mountain Lion was released). Software Update had 5 updates, such as Safari 6.0, Remote Desktop, iPhoto (?). Software update gets about 95% done, based on the progress bar. Then it hangs... for hours. I finally had to force-Quit Software Update. Rebooted. Tried again. Same problem. Rebooted and rest the PRAM (command-option-P-R) at start-up. Ran Software Update and had the same problem. Software Update hangs while "Moving files into place." Has anyone else seen this problem and know how to get it to work?

I discovered that if I selected only one update at a time to install, all but one installed (i.e., Remote Desktop, Safari 6, and iWork update). The one update that did not install was the iPhoto update. I had left the install to run overnight (about 7 hours). Console log for /var/log/install.log when installing iPhoto update follows:

No photos associated with pin in Places

I have a problem with places in iPhoto 11, OS version 10.7.4 on a MacBook Pro. I imported some photos that were geotagged incorrectly, then deleted them. I then re-imported the photos, this time correctly geotagged.
The incorrect geotag info has remained in the iPhoto database and is showing up in Places. When I go to the Places menu and click on pins representing the deleted photos, a blank gray screen with no photos opens up. How do I get rid of those pins?
I have fixed preferences, removed the iPhoto plist, and repaired the iPhoto database and permissions. Nothing helps. The phantom pins remain.
Any help would be appreciated.

I also have been using Aperture, and went as far as editing all the geotag metadata inside Aperture for the suspect files. In Aperture, if I go to places, all the pins are in the correct locations.
If I switch to iPhoto and go to the same set of pictures, there are a bunch of phantom pins on the map without any pictures.
Wish I knew how to get iPhoto to rebuild it's metadata cache. Aperture is clearly reading the information correctly from the files.

Remove pin- iphoto- places

I will try to be more descriptive.( I am new to all this) In iphoto if you go to albums, click on any picture, at the right lower corner of pic there is a" i", when you click on that, a window opens, where you will see "photo place" u can type in the state or the country where the pic was taken, and a the map will show. You will see "drop a pin" , click on that and a pin (red) will drop on the location of where the picture was taken.
Okay, here is my question: how do you remove that pin for the location on the map ?
I have not found that information in the videos. Any info. or direction with this would be appreciated
Thank you !

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't assign a location to a photo and not have it have a pin when viewed in the info pane or the Places mode. That's what adding a location does. If you want to remove it from the Places mode remove the location info from the photo.
If you add a photo with location info to a book and had a map page in the book you don't have to have that photo be resented. You can select which photos to use in the map.

Imported shots from iPhone ... after moving not showing "Places"

Hi,
I imported shots from my iPhone and it showed the places initially but IO had to move the library file for it and now the images display but the places do not... what did I do wrong.. Did I miss some data files that would not be in the library package?

Are you using a Managed or Referenced library? (It's Managed unless you changed the default settings.) If you imported the photos they will have been stored in the iPhoto package (inside the Pictures folder). You should not move or rename anything in this package using the Finder (iPhoto depends on the structure that it creates there).
When a photo is imported iPhoto reads the geodata and locates the photo. iPhoto does not read the geodata at any other time.
Using this background information can you tell us a bit more about what you did and we'll try to figure out a solution for you.
Jim
