Why can't I edit photos I've just scanned into Photo Gallery?

Sometimes I cannot edit photos I've just scanned, other times it's not a problem. What's the secret handshake for this? Thanks.

Why can't I edit photos (other than crop) since the update? LG G2

I had no problems with my photo gallery prior to the update but once I downloaded it, I am stuck without being able to modify (enhance, etc.) my pics. I can still crop... yay. Why would the update get rid of a feature that makes my camera nearly useless now?! My update is called VS98039A

Why can't I edit photos that I saved from the internet?

I'm completely new to this, so dumb it down as much as is possible. I am working on setting up a webpage and have had to manually go into the client's old web page and save any images on there. Now when I open them up in photoshop, it won't let me edit them, for some reason or another.
I can't cut them out of a background, change the colors, add text or do anything to change the layer. All the layers are locked!!!
Am I missing something? Do I need to save it as a certain file type? It keeps telling me to rasterize it, but 1. I don't know what that is and 2. when I go to Layer>Rasterize, it doesn't work anyway.
Skip the part where you make fun of me because I'm sure this is a real dummy mistake, and just get to the part where you tell me how to fix it!
I'm working with CS4 versions.
Thanks!

Why can't I use photo's edited in iPhoto in iWeb?

Why can't I insert photo's edited in iPhoto into my website design? It will only allow me to insert pictures that have not been edited. Is there away around this? Or a reason for it?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You should be able to add edited photos from iPhoto to an iWeb page. How are you adding them and to what type of page?

Why can't I move photos from Lightroom to Elements II for further editing?

You can. select the image you want to edit externally then :-
In the top toolbar Go to :- Photo, Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
If this isn't working got to :-
Edit, Preferences, External Editing
.....and check that Ps Elements is set there. You are able to set two external editors.
Good luck!

Why can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive?

Why Can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive? I scanned them into a desktop pc, copied them onto a flash drive, imported them into iphoto. Once I remove the flash drive I'm unable to edit them. Says it can't find the original...or something like that. I appreciate any help you can give me! Trying to get a slide show ready for a funeral, therefore I have an approaching deadline, eek!

Copy the photos from the drive to your desktop import then again and delete the images. If the same mistake appears, there is something wrong with your import settings into iPhoto - > may be you didn't imported the original files to your iphoto library.

Just because I have an imac pre 2007 why can I not order photo albums???!! I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is that

Just because I have an imac pre 2007 why can I not order photo albums???!!
I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

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 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?

Since iphoto 11 update, why can't I upload photo to facebook. It says that fb can't recognize my email/password combination

Since iphoto 11 update, why can't I upload photo to facebook. It says that fb can't recognize my email/password combination. I can't seem to find out why.

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Why can't I download photos marked as NSMenultem into iPhoto?

Why can't I download photos marked as NSMenultem into iPhoto?

Where are these files from? That does not sound like an image file. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
from where are you downloading?
where are you downloading to?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

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,

Why can't I email photos direct from iPhoto?

Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

TD
