Photos won't let me edit my photos. The adjustment controls black out when I click on "Edit".
Photos no longer let me edit my photos. When I click on the "Edit" button, the controls on the right side would appear, but they are darkened out and cannot be selected. Please help.
deleting them may be what gave you the mess.. I am torn- if I give bad advice at this point, going into the realms o knowledge where I am a newcomer might get me yelled at.
If it were me, and I was impatient for a cure, I would open iPhoto, connect the memory, open two finder windows- and from the window showing the memory with the saved pics on the external, drag to the finder window showing iPhoto, the pieces you had deleted, and see if they can get back into place and act like they were never moved.
The only other thing I can think of would be make a back up of all of iPhoto, then delete it completely and download a replacment, and never mess with the library again. HOWEVER: I do not know if apple condones or allows that- so you maybe need to get to a genius appointment at an apple store near you, or try to do the phone help.
Like I said- I have seen many warnings to not mess with the memory of iPhoto.... I guess this is an example of WHY.
I apologize that I do not have an easy way out of your nightmare.

How come the MyHeritage app blacks out when I try to use photos in my photo album on my iPhone?
Since around July I was having fun using My-Heritage's Celebrity Look Alike and playing with my friends, I was able to access uploading pictures from my album. But this month whenever I try going to my album, it turns all white, then completely black. The only thing that works on that is "Take A Picture" option, the "Take From Album" does not. What's the problem here?
I've tried deleting the app a few times and getting it again but still have this problem.If you updates to iOS 7, it may be a compatibility issue that needs attention from the app developer. See if there is an update for your app.

Firefox shows a blinking "edit" cursor in the body of all websites when I click.
Clicking a button within a webpage puts a blinking text cursor in the body of the site, as if editing a Word document. It's not causing any other problems besides being really annoying and distracting, but it only just started today. I've tried restarting Firefox with add-ons disabled, as well as reinstalling Firefox clean.

Indesign CS4 suddenly crashes down when I click on "edit" or try help. Can anyone help?
Hello,
I am still using Indesign CS4 (Version 6), so far no problem, but since new Macbook with Yosemite several Problems, also with Illustrator.
I cannot print from Indesign, so far just printing the PDFs, thats possible.
Since today I cannot use the software at all, as I cannot click on "edit" anymore. The software immediately crashes down when I click.
Searched the internet, someone told sth about "Zusatzmodule", but it also crashes down when I search for sth in the "help".
Can anyone here help me?
Kind of devistated, because its my business, need to work with InDesign...
thanks
P.I'm sorry to say this but Yosemite and CS4 are incompatable. You're now five versions behind the current on InDesign, and CS4 was never tested with Yosemite.
You should seriously consider upgrading to either CS6 (perpetual license) or get a Creative Cloud subscription for your business. -
When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not
If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library. -
the new i photo won't let me manually sort my own photos. . . a must have in my line of work! can i revert to the old i photo, and if so how? if not, what are my options?
I have no idea what you are doing - folders in iPhoto do not hold photos - they only hold other folders or albums - and albums can be sorted manually - and again have no idea what you mean by you hade to "minimize the size" - adding photos to albums has nothing to do with their size
iPhoto is really easy - but does have a learning curve - under the help menu there is an iPhoto help section that contains several very good videos to helo you get started with learning iPhoto - the owuld be well worth the time to watch

Anyone out there can help me with this?

I have a problem with my 4s camera which has come up recently. Everytime I take a picture and look it up via the 'Photos' app, it shows as blank. But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album as a proper image. Besides, I have also experiences the camera working a bit wiered (slow and often blanks out the moment I am ready to take a photo). Any help on this pls?
Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes. Any idea what to do to get the synch working?
OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

I have an Iphone 5 6.01. I have a notice on my app store that I have an update. Tried to update, but it won't. Connected to Itunes and tried to download update for App. I can't do that either. It won't let me update any of the apps. What is wrong?
My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?

My app store won't let me download none of the older versions of apps for my ipod touch 2g.
My app store won't let me download any of the older versions of an app, but in my sisters case she can and she has an ipod touch 2g just like me. She was able to download kik, twitter, instagram, and some more apps that told me I had to have ios 4.3.1 or higher to download. and theres only one app I want and its kik, can someone help me figure out whats wrong with my app store, it would be a great help.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists. -
My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
