Why can't I edit LANDSCAPE pictures in iPhoto OR Photoshop?

Help!! Having just returned to the wonderful world of the Mac after years away on a PC, I'm struggling to edit my photos and successfully comprehend the links between the original jpeg files I'm downloading and the thumbnails onscreen.
I'm reasonably technical, a Photoshop user and don't understand why it is that I can't DOUBLE CLICK on a LANDSCAPE picture and edit it...
For some reason, I can't even edit my landscape photos in iPhoto (which I'm resorting to as in a hurry with a particular project)....
Is there some reason why LANDSCAPE pictures aren't appearing in iPhoto's EDIT window? It only display's portrait pictures - all the landscape pics are replaced with a grey window and an exclaimation mark '!'
The pictures are still there, just WON'T OPEN in edit mode in either iPhoto or Photoshop when I double click them (and yes, I have set the Preferences to default edit in Photoshop).
Can anyone help please?
dual core Mac OS X (10.4.8)

This blog will explain how to install Elements as an external editor in lightroom. The main thing to remember it to point Lightroom to the EDITOR and not the Elements Startup screen where you can choose Organizer or Editor. If you don't point to the EDITOR the photo will not show up in Elements

Why can't I edit Lightroom pictures in Photoshop Elements?

I'm on a Windows PC running Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 12. Why can't I get Elements as an option when I am in Lightroom and select Photo - Edit In?? Elements is not an option there. Can I change that??

Why can't I edit SOME pictures on the external hard drive in iPhoto?

I have moved my iPhoto Library to an external drive. I can see all photos in the thumbnail, but there are several pictures that when I click on them to edit, the screen is black, while others show up. I'm confused.

If in the middle of that black window is an exclamation point then iPhoto has lost link to the original file. If you're running a "managed" library (copy image file into the library when imported) try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
Fix #2
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why can't I edit my pictures taken from Iphone in my computer?

I always receive the following message "problems in the properties"

Hi diver0404,
So you make backups of your iPhone pictures but they don't appear on your iPad.
I'm not sure how you are backing them up, but if you sync them to your computer (iTunes), you can then sync them to your iPad.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support
You may also want to see if My Photo Stream is what you want.

With My Photo Stream, when you take a photo on one device, it automatically appears on all of your other devices.
Take care,
Nubz

DanPage,
When you open iPhoto, click on Photos, select a photo, it should be outlined with a yellow border. Then click COMMAND delete, click DELETE PHOT (you can also hold down command and select multiple photos)
It will send it to trash in iPhoto, you can then select the photos in the trash (you can also do a COMMAND A to select all in the trash)and they will outline then SHIFT+COMMAND+DELETE, and click on do you want to delete X photos permanently, click OK then they should be sent to your trash, empty trash securely(SHIFT+COMMAND+DELETE) and they should be forever gone.
this is using iPhoto 9.2.3
Hope this helps

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

because you are exporting the original?
SInce you give us no information at all we can only guess and that is the most likely
How are you editing the photo - iPhoto? An external editor? How?
how are you exporting?

HT201077 Why can't I see my pictures in photostream on my iPad I took on my iPhone

Why can't I see my pictures in photostream on my iPad I took on my iPhone

It may be because photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though thry remain on your device until you delete them. If you enabled photo stream on your iPad after you enabled it on your iPhone, you would only receive the photos from the last 30 days, as ealier photos are no longer there.
If that's not the issue, try saving the photo stream photos on your iPhone to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then go to Settings>iCloud and turn photo stream Off, wait a minute or so, then turn it back On. Then take a new photo on your phone, close the camera app, then while connected to wifi see if it appears on your iPad in a minute or so.

Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
Go To the Artwork tab
Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures now will be deleted!

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

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 I not put a picture from camera roll into an album?

Why can I not put a picture from my camera roll into an album now? When I try these are greyed out. I created these albums on my ipad too but ever since I updated to IOS 7 this can't be done, it was so easy before.

I can now answer my own question as I've worked it out. For those who are interested click on Shared Streams then on album you require photo to be in then click on the empty box with a cross in the centre and choose photo you wish to add.

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?
