Why can't I edit albums in iCloud photos on a PC?

I am using iCloud photos on a PC. Some major issues:
I cannot edit or create albums
Albums I have created on my iPad do appear on the iCloud Photos, but none of the photos place in the albums appear in the albums (which are thus all empty!)
The upload continually crashes
When you open and album and click on upload, the photos do not upload to that album: they upload to the general folder. This then makes the general album ridiculously unwieldy: the process of allocating photos to an album on my iPad is very time-consuming.
Basically, this means I am far better off syncing to photo folders on my PC rather than using iCloud. This is a real shame, as the space-saving features of iCloud photos (and the totally misleading descriptions of it in the Apple website) are great.

Why can't I edit or share certain photos on my iPad?

My parents have a newer iPad (not sure wich one, but has lightning connector). Some of their pictures are blurry and can't be edited or shared via e-mail or message. Is there any way to fix this?

On your mac, if your look at the left panel of the Address Book, you'll find general categories of "iCloud" and possibly "On my mac" - if you have contacts in the latter, then they are only local to your mac, they are not shared with iCloud. If you don't have an "iCloud" category, then your mac(s) is not set up of iCloud. Go to system preferences and look in iCloud. Is the mac signed into iCloud, are contacts turned on for syncing?

TS1468 Why can't I edit album track information in the INFO window, and more to the next track without having to do each track seperate?

In iTunes 10, I could edit multiple track information in the (Info) tab and click to move to the next track within that album. Now with iTunes 11.1.3.8, I have to do each track seperate. It will not let me edit track information (as if track numbering), and click next to move to another track within the same album. It's a pain to have to do each song , and then click on the next song I want to edit. My music library is 171 GB (47,185 files & 19,498 folders). I can find the Duplicate files, but I can't edit like I use to in iTunes 10. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreicated!!!!! I will be an old man at the rate I'm going now.

Either select a single track, Get Info, then use the Next/Previous buttons to move between them, or select multiple tracks, Get Info, and edit common properties. The next and previous buttons do not appear in multi-track Get Info (and never have).
Regarding duplicates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

Why can't I export albums or single photo's

I have a G4 Power Mac 400mHz running 10.4.10. I have just installed iPhoto (iLife 08) and now I can't export any images. I'm trying to export to a folder on the desktop. After selecting the images I want to move - I choose File>export and nothing happens. Why is this so?

most likely you have older third party export plugins that do not support iPhoto '08 - go to your applications folder and get info on the iPhoto application - look toward the bottom and remove any third party export plugins - this should fix your export issue
Many third party vendors now have new export plugins that support iPhoto '08 - check with those that you are to export directly to.

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book "On My Mac" or sync with iCloud?

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book cards on my Macs, now that I've migrated to iCloud? I can edit/delete if I go to iCloud, but the changes don't sync with my Macs. What's happening, and what's a solution? Just wait for Apple to fix a bug?

On your mac, if your look at the left panel of the Address Book, you'll find general categories of "iCloud" and possibly "On my mac" - if you have contacts in the latter, then they are only local to your mac, they are not shared with iCloud. If you don't have an "iCloud" category, then your mac(s) is not set up of iCloud. Go to system preferences and look in iCloud. Is the mac signed into iCloud, are contacts turned on for syncing?

Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
please help.

Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?

Why can't I edit the Word doc I converted from a PDF?
Help! That is why I bought this software!

Hi linda007,
If you can't edit the file once it's converted to Word, it could be that the PDF was created from a scanned page, and then image text wasn't converted to searchable text. ExportPDF should perform Optical Character Recognition by default, but it can be disabled in Reader. Do you know whether OCR was disabled when you converted the page? If it wasn't, make sure that the correct language was selected for OCR. This option appears at the bottom of the ExportPDF panel in Reader, and in the Document Language (for Text Recognition) pop-up menu that appears after you select your file to convert in the ExportPDF online service.
If everything seems to have been set correctly, and you still can edit the text, please try triple-clicking to select the text in Word. Did that do the trick?
Best,
Sara

Why can't I edit my signature under email settings.

Why can't I edit my signature under email settings. I want to unbold the "Sent from my iPhone" and it will only unbold it when it is in italics I don't want it in italics.

Hi Sssswm,
If you'd like to edit the email signature that is appended to email which you send from your iPhone, specifically to change the text style, please see the information below.
Select text. Tap the insertion point to display the selection options. Or double-tap a word to select it. Drag the grab points to select more or less text. In read-only documents, such as webpages, touch and hold to select a word.
You can cut, copy, or paste over selected text. With some apps, you can also get bold, italic, or underlined text (tap B/I/U); get the definition of a word; or have iPhone suggest an alternative. Tap to see all the options.
Edit text - iPhone
Take care,
Alex H.

Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?

Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?
I've noticed that my iCloud backups are constantly hitting their 5GB max, even after clearing out camera rolls, etc.
After some testing, I've found that iMessages are also backed up. For someone like me, I'm constantly sending pictures / videos to friends and family, having a little guy under a year old (but that's not important).
In any case, it seems you can set iCloud backup for just about every app EXCEPT iMessages. The only way I've found to solve this is to constantly delete message threads from my iPhone, so that they aren't taking up iCloud space. But this honestly is a bit of a pain (okay, only a little bit)... why can't I keep my messages around for as long as I want, without backing them up?

Make sure you have their icloud email they use for imessage in their contact information before sending them an imessage.

Why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore?? (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

why can't i edit my project in imovie anymore?? (over 1 hr long) - is this a bug ?

Hi
There is a limiting factor that's easy to miss.
• FREE SPACE on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk
When this goes low then iMovie, Mac OS and all applications runs into problems. So to get a safe way to work (for me) I set a minimum that I try to never go lower than. (Sorry for strange sentence)
I never let my Mac (Macintosh HD) go lower than 25GB free space. If it does - then I move away things to an external hard disk (always Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - as nothing else will do for VIDEO)
Else - in iDVD Time is the limiting factor. (iMovie - I never run into any - my monster Vacation epos is >>6 hours)
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
Yours Bengt W

Why can't I edit phone numbers in the dialer?

If I find a number on the Internet, it is often (at least in Sweden) typed in with country code and then an optional 0 if you're calling domesically, e.g. +46 (0) 8-402 60 00. This number isn't dialable because of the extra 0 inserted there from misguided benevolence.
My phone is also inside a switchboard and I need to add either a 0 or replace the first 0 with +46 (for a Swedish number) in front of every number to be able to make a call. Unfortunately the only way I can find to edit a phone number in the phone number dialer is to erase them from the last digit. Not very efficient if you want to replace the first digit!
Why can't I edit phone numbers anywhere in the string of numbers as anywhere else in the phone and its apps?
Now I have to copy the number either into a new contact or the notepad, edit and then dial.

Copied from my answer to your other thread for your convenience:
Unlike the iPhone, Android allows developers access to basic system functions. Although this means there are lots of apps that do interesting things like scheduling text messages (the one thing I really miss from when I had an Android), it also means the OS is significantly less secure. Apple's choice was security and stability. Google's was open platform at the expense of security and stability.
