Why can I not make changes to a indesign file

I was given a file to make some changes to.  I can open the file and some items are selectable but others are not.  Can not copy them or make changes.  Wondering why?  Some are pictures and some are text.

Oh  Thank you so much.  I am new to this program and am wanting to purchase the monthly program.   But I want to know that I can learn to use it.  I have 30 days to get some things worked out.  Thank you so much.  I guess I created mine on the master so are you telling me I can create a layer effect like in Photoshop and have different stuff on different layers and yet have them all show or just some.  I would like to create the unchangeables on the master and then just add layers for changeables. 
Elaine   I wish there was a book to look at.  But I am really working at this so I can know  if this is the program for me.  I am familiar with Photo shop and maybe this works similar.
Thanks elaine

    This is my question.  Why can't I make Safari my default browser.  I have followed directions, but it does not happen.

    Not sure what procedure you are describing, but...
    In Safari preferences General tab, for the Default web browser setting, select Safari.

  • Why can I not open some attached emailed pdf files?

    PLEASE HELP ME! I HAVE TO OPEN THESE FILES MY BUSINESS DEPENDS ON IT! why can I not open some attached pdf files and others are ok?

    PDF files are extremely reliable. You may have a software issue. I have the problem on 2 identical systems with the exact same specs. The problem occurs at the same exact interval. It may be a windows update. We have had to re-install software form the DVD in each instance. This fixes it for awhile and then it recoccurs. Adobe acts as if they have never heard of the problem...imagine that. I'm the only one with th problem.
    This is happens with CS6 volume lic product.
    If you dont own Adobe product it will be even more difficult to find and answer as the reader is used my so many people.
    We know we have the problem again when we double click opn a PDF and nothing happens. SOme have reported that reloading does not fix the problem.
    Wish I could help you. I am looking for answers to this issue right now and phone support is a 30 minute wait.
    Very frustrating.

  • Why can I not make video calls using Skype?

    I'm really baffled. I have a month old MacBook Air. I use Skype daily for work and personal business. Never had a problem until this evening. I went to make a video call and Skype was not linked with the camera - there was no option to make a video call and when I went into Preferences, it said I had no camera. I then used FaceTime - person I was calling also had FaceTime, so it wasn't an issue - but I've now spent an hour trying to solved the problem, including logging in and out of Skype, closing the app and reinstalling, all to no avail. The camera functions fine with FT and other apps - why will it not sync up with Skype after it's worked fine? Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    FIX: 
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

  • Why can't I make changes on some of these choices?

    Some of my screens and / or choices on those screens are faded out and I can't select anything to make changes.  One in particular is the page for location settings.

    Thanks for the reply.  On Location Services screen, "ON" is selected.  It's a pale blue, not normal color of blue. Several apps are listed below, some are set to on and some to off.  The only  one I can click on is Find My iPhone.
    iCloud and FaceTime are two other things that are grayed out and I can't click.

  • Why under security in system preferences can I not make changes?

    When I go to change the settings under General in Security in the systems preferences on my Macbook Pro they are all grey except require a password and can't be clicked. I am trying to change the automatic logout time, but it won't let me. Please help!

    Just to confirm, you click the lock, enter your admin password, the lock icon changes to an unlock icon, and all the checkboxes still remain grayed out?

  • Why can't I make changes on my external hard drive?

    I have an external hard drive that I set up through Windows XP that I can now access through Mac OS X on my MacBook. Unfortunately, I'm not able to delete or make any changes to any of the files through the Finder. Why is that, and can it be changed?

    Thanks everyone. I suppose I'll just reformat for Apple. I need to use it for large files, and I suppose I could survive without editing ablities on Windows.
    There's another alternative, format it as exFat, 4G limit does not apply and OSX + Windows will be able to read/write.

  • Why Can't I Make Changes To This Image ?

    I have a black & white image, edited some time ago in a trial version of LightZone software,taken into PSE3, and saved as a flattened RGB .tif file. For some reason I can't apply any filters/effects/layer styles to this image. The filters/effects etc. seem to work until the image is flattened,then the image reverts to its original state. Changing to grayscale,then changing back to RGB has no effect,similarly with saving the image under a different name as a .psd file - I still can't get anything to stick at the 'flatten' image stage.
    I don't think it's a Lightzone problem as other images edited with this trial accept changes as per normal, and current images edit o.k.
    File size for me is normal at about 45MB.
    What simple obvious thing am I missing ?

    Rita....
    I tried this,but it didn't seem to make any difference.
    Barbara.....
    Yes I'm on 10.3.9
    BUT
    This morning I had a fresh look at the problem,as last night after midnight, having been up for 18 hours and playing with the problem for over an hour, it was probably not the best time to be submitting a question. I have now found that,contrary to my original post,the problem seems to be restricted to layers - adustment layers / layer styles.
    What I found this morning,with the original and a copy, was that if,for example, I applied a new gradient map adjustment layer to the image, I was actually achieving about 40% of the effect.
    I confirmed this by comparing the unflattened ORIGINAL image with the adustment layer applied, to the flattened adjusted COPY of the file. By reducing the opacity of the adjustment layer on the original to 40% I got a match between original and copy.
    I don't know whether this makes the problem any easier to explain,or if this problem simply falls into the odd unexplainable 'PSE quirk' category.

  • Why can't i make changes to my pages document? I want to amend text in a table but it wont allow me do it

    This never happened before. I have a table in a pages doc in which I have text to amend. The cursor will not click in the box and I cannot type or delete text. Any ideas?

    Object can be locked in Pages so they can't be moved or changed. Here is the text from Pages User Guide which you can download from your Pages Help menu
    Locking and Unlocking Floating Objects
    You can lock floating objects to avoid inadvertently moving them as you work. Inline objects cannot be grouped or locked.
    After you lock individual or grouped objects, you can’t move, delete, or modify them in any way until you unlock them. However, a locked object can be selected, copied, or duplicated; when you copy or duplicate a locked object, the new object is also locked.
    To lock a floating object:
    Select the objects you want to lock, and then choose Arrange > Lock.
    To unlock a floating object:
    Select the objects you want to unlock, and then choose Arrange > Unlock.

  • Why can I not make comments on pdf files?

    OK this has been driving me nuts for a couple years now.  I used to have an earlier versison of Acrobat Reader (5.0 maybe?) where I could freely highlight and make comments throughout the document--very easy and straightforward.  When I got a new computer I had to go version 9--and now I cannot highlight, undlerline, comment or do ANYTHING at all with the text--on the very SAME documents I used to do this on (and on new ones as well).  Commenting is never allowed on ANY .pdf file I have.  WHY has Adobe done this????   Do I have to upgrade to some commercial version or what?  Frustrated as hell with this huge step backwards that completely limits my ability to find information in documents quickly.

    You probably didn't have Reader before, but Acrobat, which is the non-free
    version that allows you to create PDF files and to make comments. With
    Reader, you can only create comments if this was specifically allowed by the
    creator of the PDF. If you want this functionality you will other need to
    ask the creator of your files to enable commenting in Reader, or buy
    Acrobat.

  • Why can I not make purchases anymore?!?!

    For days now I've been getting a message dialog whenever I try to make purchases. It says:
    "The Itunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time." and,
    "Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later."
    It matters not whether I use paypal or any credit card. And I am definitely connected to the internet.
    Why is this happening? Does Apple not want my hard-earned money anymore for their DRM-laden media?
    Also, I have iTunes on 2 computers. One is version 6 and the other is version 7. Neither work.
    HELP!

    Yes it's been a week and still this does not work.
    The method of payment I choose does not matter. All fail.
    I just have this fear that Apple is going to respond with a bland, "Everything's fine. Call your ISP."
    Gaaaaaah! Arrrrrgh!
