Soundtrack locked, can't edit

Working in Premier Elements 11. Have been using without problem, but now my soundtrack, which has multiple song clips in it is locked. Can't move clips, right-clip them, or adjust gain I was able to. Not sure what caused it. I did group some of the video files, but I have ungrouped them with no improvement. Any hints.

windows 7 OS.
working in expert workspace.
switching to Quick did allow me to select the clips and move them. once a clip is highlighted, and i return to expert mode, the clip stays highlighted until I click on it with right or left mouse buttons, then remains as before.
I read the other thread. I can explore some of the solutions presented there. Sounds like I have the same situation occurring. I can't simply undo the actions since the issue presented yesterday and I have closed and reopened the program. I have not added narration. I am able to add another song to the end of my existing soundtrack. It doesn't show the new clip as being present in the track, but when i play it the new clip plays as well, causing me to hear both songs simultaneously.
I too will see if I can find an autosave. not sure where to locate those files.
Thanks for responding.

Suddenly can't edit in LR4 -- can DNG files get locked?

I suddenly can't edit in "Develop" mode. I can click on Lens Correction, but I can't seem to use the Basic adustments, Detail, or any others. It's like I locked the DNG file from any more editing. Any ideas?*

Hi Ron,
Can you open the basic panel?
...just a weird idea... maybe you have set your develop panels to solo mode? So only one will be open at a time? <ctrl>1 should help, as this opens the basic panel.
To answer your general question: it is not the DNG files that get locked - they are *locked* all the time.
LR writes a record pointing to a DNG inside its catalog=database.
That can not get locked.
What exactly do you see when trying to do a basic adjustment?
Could it be a performance problem - LR just being too slow for you to notice anything?
What system are you using, which LR-version exactly?

This sounds like you are trying to edit an XFA form (created perhaps by LiveCycle Designer). These forms are not editable by the mobile Reader. You are welcome to share your form with us at [email protected] and I can confirm or give you a better answer (there are some less common reasons that the fields are locked like encryption, signatures, document passwords or disabled filling rights).

How can I edit my recovery email address if my password had been locked?, How can I edit my recovery email address if my password had been locked?

How can I edit my recovery email address if my password had been locked? I couldn't receive the reset my password email because I think my recovery email address was invalid.

The idea of a Recovery email is so the rightful owner accomplishes the recovery, so I don't know of a process to edit that address if you don't know the Apple ID and associated Password.

Can I edit photos on my iMac Photo Library from my MacAir?

Hi! I have an iMac and a MacAir. I have shared my library, but can not edit photos. I then shared the whole computer to the laptop and no good. It says it is locked, on a locked drive, or I don't have permission to edit it. I originally had two photo libraries, one on each, then I took the smaller library and uploaded it to the iMac. I have a Time Capsule, but use it only to back up the iMac (why? because I am not too skilled with this Mac stuff). In the end, I want to be able to sit on my sofa and edit photos at night from a laptop. Help Please!
More info - I have access to both computers, though I have the App Store hooked up to two different IDs (mine and my husbands), does that matter? If I buy Appeture I would need to buy it on both the iMac and the MacAir in this case? Any help is good!

If you use Screen Sharing you can run iPhoto on the iMac's library from your Mac Air just as if you were on the iMac itself. Even dropouts wouldn't hurt as they would only show up a momentary curser lapses because everything was being performed on the iMac.
However, I am able to do everything but edit photos even though I'm logged in as the admin user for the Mac. Give it a try and see if you can make it work. Here's what I have setup under sharing:

Can't Edit Video Property Tags - e.g. .avi, .mpg, etc

I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and I wanted to organize my videos by adding tags such as title, genre, etc.
I have read other posts on this and nothing has been helpful. It seems that the moderators keep making the same suggestion to go to Properties>Details, but once they are told
it doesn't work, they do not respond again.
I have tried right clicking on a video and going to Properties> Details and while I can see any information that is there, it is not editable.
I have tried editing it through Windows Media Player. I can edit it there, but when I try to update the file by going to Organize> Apply Media Information Changes (as suggested
in these forums) the files still do not update (i.e. if I go to properties>details, I will not see the information updated there).
I can edit the sample video (.wmv) but as I said I cannot edit properties of my own videos (.avi, .mpg). I have windows 7 at work as well and I seem to be able to edit the properties
of a couple of M4V and Quicktime Movie Files, can’t find any .avi files to test.
I am getting really frustrated with this issue. It seems like it should be an extremely simple thing, and yet it doesn't work. I don't understand why it works for some video files
and not others.
Are there specific video file formats for which you can't edit the properties?
Is there a way these files could have become "locked"? We have tried to make sure that we have full permissions set, and it appears that we do, but are there particular permissions
we could be missing?
The files in question are stored on an External Drive and accessed through the Video Library in Windows Explorer, although copying them to any other location doesn't make the properties
editable.
The only way I have been able to edit these properties and see the changes in window explorer (see them by going back to properties>details) is by using a 3rd party program called
abcavi but while it works sometimes, it corrupts the files other times, so it's not a good solution.
Basically, I know HOW it's supposed to work, but it DOESN'T, so please give me some advice on how to make it work or explain why it doesn't. This is VERY frustrating.

Windows Explorer and WMP probably don't write tags to files in AVI and MPEG format, because these formats don't properly support tagging. I think that it's advisable to instead use new formats, that have proper tagging support, like WMV or MPEG-4.
To edit the tags of AVI and MPEG files,
you could also give ExifTool a try. ExifTool is a command-line application, but you can download
ExifTool GUI to get a nice interface. I haven't tried these programs myself, but it looks like they will do the job.

IPhoto misbehaving - can't edit

I can't edit an album full of raw images. iPhoto is set to keep my files in my Finder folder structure. If I right click a file to reveal the underlying file it shows me the jpeg in the modified folder in the iPhoto library. But it doesn't seem to be able to import the photo if I Command-D to duplicate it. Has iPhoto just lost track of where the RAW files are? Any way to show it where they are again?
Other albums with RAW are not doing this. Strange, I ordered prints of the troublesome album last week and it let me edit them. Does it lock them after you order prints or something?
I have repaired permissions, rebooted, run the periodic tasks....
Also - when I try to duplicate one of these files iPhoto goes to beach ball and I have to Force Quit it.
One more tidbit: I have show rolls on, and it only shows me the last roll.
Dual 1.8 G5, Macbook Pro 2.16 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1.5 GB RAM, iPod, iPod Mini (gone missing)
Dual 1.8 G5, Macbook Pro 2.16 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1.5 GB RAM, iPod, iPod Mini (gone missing)

It seems like it can't find the originals, but it isn't prompting for location or anything.
More info: I have edited these files. So there are jpegs in the library.
Even more info: It has spontaneously corrected itself again. Repair permissions and periodic maintenance and a reboot didn't fix it. But a day later and maybe another reboot and it is fixed. That's what happened before.
Makes me nervous about putting too much effort and energy into organizing photos in this program.

Can't edit in Indesign

I created an Indesign advert. I checked it for errors, all ok. I packaged it. Now I need to make a couple of minor amends but I can't edit it. The only thing I can access is the last text box I created.

Perhaps you did the layout n the master page, or the objects or layer are locked.

Upgraded to Muse CC can't edit site created in Muse CS6

I just created my first MUSE site in CS6 and was very happy until I upgraded to Muse CC. Now I can't edit the site. I really don't want to spent a day rebuilding it. What can I do?

Thanks for your reply. Problems solved. I had inadvertently locked the items
on one of the pages and could not therefore edit it. The real problem was me
being new to MUSE and not yet understanding the nuances.
Thanks

Can't edit Media Kind in iTunes 9?

After updating to iTunes 9 I have found that I can't edit the "media kind" label on any of my tracks. This is particularly annoying as I use audiobooks a lot, and now I have to store them as music. In fact, it seems that I can't edit anything under Options at all, such as "skip when shuffling" etc. Any ideas? I have never had a problem with this before and any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Just a couple of general points that may help in future.
Unless a file has the Podcast flag set, audio files imported into iTunes will be treated as Music (apart from m4b audiobooks) and video files as Movies. You need to manually change the Media Kind after import.
As well as "Media Kind" there is another property inside iTunes called "Video Kind" which indicates if a file is a Movie, TV Show or Music Video. Current builds of iTunes *do not* alter this value in tandem with a change in Media Kind. This could potentially cause problems with smart playlists and perhaps even remote access to the library. The Video Kind property can be set from script.
Given that Media Kind is an internal property of the iTunes database there is no good reason that it can't be applied to any file whether locked or not, but I suspect iTunes first checks for write permissions before making changes so permissions may be an issue whenever you are unable to change the Media Kind.
Unless your selected audiobook files are all in .m4b format iTunes will report any selection of two or more audiobook files as being Music. Ignore it. It can't handle mixed property values either, e.g. a mix of compilation and non-compilation tracks will always show as *Part of a compilation: No.*
When working with single audiobook files you cannot change the status of the *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling* flags. Simply select more than one file to adjust.

IPhoto 6 Can't Edit Photos

I've just installed iPhoto 6 (and used 5, 4 etc), and I find that I can't Edit my pictures. When I try to edit a seleced picture in the Library, (via context menu, double-click or toolbar), either nothing happens, or the edit window opens, with thumbnails across the top, and nothing in the main window. If I try doing something in the edit window, I lock up iPhoto 6.
In the console log, I can see that each time I do this, a pair of errors is generated:
2006-01-11 22:00:37.157 iPhoto[536] * +[CIPlugIn _addPlugIn:allowNonExecutable:]: selector not recognized
2006-01-11 22:00:37.158 iPhoto[536] * +[CIPlugIn _addPlugIn:allowNonExecutable:]: selector not recognized
It seems to me that the file isn't getting passed along correctly.
Very disappointing to become one of the folks for whom an Apple program doesn't work out of the box. I don't think I've modified anything to interfere with iPhoto, so I'd appreciate any suggestions on what is going wrong.
Cheers,
Gregory

Hi Gregory,
Since iPhoto 6 is so new there is not much info to work on. Why don't you try reinstalling iLife 6.
Here are the instructions:
Navigate to /Applications and drag the iLife applications to the trash
Navigate to /Library/Receipts and drag all of the iLife receipts to the trash
Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.apple.iPhoto.plist, com.apple.iMovie.plist, com.apple.iDVD.plist and any other plists for the iapps you have installed to the trash.
You do not have to touch iTunes or any files associated with iTunes.
Insert your iLife 6 DVD and choose to do a custom install.
Install all the iapps except iTunes.
Open itunes first, then iPhoto, then iMovie, then iDVD, then Garageband if you installed it. You can quit each application after you launch it.
Hopefully that will work.

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock
it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Apple does not unlock iPhones - wireless carrier has this responsibility.

Can't edit narrator field for audiobooks in iTunes

I noticed a new "narrator" field in iTunes for the Audiobook media kind, but I can't edit it.
Also, I can't seem to edit the "Remember playback position" and "Skip when shuffling" options. I can fix the second issue by changing it to Music media kind, checking them, and changing it to Audiobook over again; however, seeing as there is no "narrator" field for Music, I can't use that workaround.
I am using iTunes 12.1.0.50.

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Can't edit greyed-out HTML [was: hi]

can anyone help us out we editing html file on dreamweaver, but some file can not be edited due to be grey or locked ... not to unlock it please help really appreciated
[Subject line amended by moderator for clarity]

If your page is mostly grayed out, it is most likely a child page created from a Template. You can only edit content within Editable Regions. Everything else is controlled by the main template.dwt file. For more info, hit F1 help and read about Dreamweaver Templates.
