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!
Sara

What file-format and color-mode are those images?

Ordering prints of photos that were downloaded from the internet

Hey I'm new here and I wanted to order prints of a bunch of photos in my iphoto library that were not taken with my camera. I saved pictures and screenshots of different bands that I got online to my library and wanted to print them out so I could put them in my room. So will these pictures come out okay? Any advice? Like what size print I should order or just anything else you might find helpful.

That all depends on the pixel dimensions of the pictures you downloaded and he size of prints you want - Apple will give you a warning if you are likely to have a quality problem - your choice then is to order a smaller print or have poorer quality for your print - the larger the pixel size of the original digital photo to the better
The minimum size for prints with no warnings is 150 dpi
4 x 3 prints - 600 x 450 pixels
4 x 6 prints - 600 x 900 pixels
5 x 7 prints - 750 x 1050 pixels

Why can't I print out PDF files downloaded from the internet?

Such as medical files, applications, etc. They just end up as an "error" in my printer queue. I have used four different printers and three differnt iMac computers. Same problem. What is UP? Do I have to convert it? Becxause, when I do -- and it so graciously "allows" me to -- it reformats and looks like a transmission from the nearest five year old. Thoughts?

Assuming that you're talking about printing from Adobe Reader for iPad or iPhone, you either (1) need an AirPrint-enabled printer, or (2) (for the iPad only), purchase a third party app like Printer Pro from Readdle.
Here's a list of AirPrint-enabled printers:

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 I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? Many thanks.

Why I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? My iPhone was stolen and the photos in it are very precious to me. Many thanks.

On a new device you can only download what is currently stored in "My Photo Stream" in iCloud. iCloud keeps up to the last 1000 photos, but only the photos, that have been added during the last month. Older photos may be removed, when the time is up. On other devices you may be seeing older photos as well in "My Photo Stream", that will depend on the available storage on those devices, and when the Photo Stream has been enabled on those devices, see: My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
If you are seeing other photos in the Photo Stream on other devices, that you want to save, mail them to you from the other devices.
Have you tried to restore your iPhone from the last iCloud backup of the old phone? The backup will contain the photos in the Camera Roll, but not the photos in Photo Stream. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Try the camera roll. Often when photos are copied they end up there

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

Why can my 8500 A Plus not download forms from the web?

Why can my 8500 A Plus not download forms from the web?

Hey indianadave,
Are you're apps working from the front panel of the printer? You will want to make sure that you have internet connection to your printer. If you don't, you can follow these steps:
1. Find your printer's IP address.
2. Enter the IP address in the address bar of your internet browser.
3. Click the network tab.
4. Click IPv4 under the wireless/wired menu on the left hand side of the printer screen.
5. Set Manual settings.
6. Set a Manual preferred DNS of 8.8.8.8 and alternate DNS of 8.8.4.4.
7. Click apply and try downloading the forms again.

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over. Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy. Thanks.

Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

HT201272 why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

What country are you in ? Re-downloading music isn't currently possible in all countries (the record companies need to agree to it for each country). If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded, then if the tracks are still in the store then they should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

HT4623 how to delet photos that were downloaded from the computer

How to delet photos that were downloaded from the computer?

Resync the iPad with the computer, but before doing so, click on the device once it is hooked up to iTunes. You will see the Device Profile to the right with several tabs - Photos being one of them. Select the Photos tab, and either uncheck the Sync Photos box at the top (if you don't want any of the photos to be on your device), or uncheck the selected photos you no longer want to sync.
Cheers,

Why can I no longer import photos to iphoto library from the internet with a right click?

Why can i no longer import photos from the internet to my iphoto library with just a right click?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So 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.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

Why doesn't apple allow you to download files from the internet like how android users can?

I was using a friend's android phone yesterday and saw that he could download files a wide variety of files from the internet and that made me wonder why Apple doesn't allow iPhone users to download files like the ones you could on an android device

To keep the sort of malware rather prevalent for Android devices off of your iPhone. Depending on what you need to download, though, you can probably find a third-party app that will do it. Since such apps keep their documents in their own sandbox, it helps protect the iPhone from being infected by malicious "documents".

How can I fix my Firefox browser so that PDF files from the Internet do not blur and go out of focus?

When I try to open a PDF document from the Internet, it opens, with sharp resolution; however, within a few seconds, it blurs and seems to have multiple copies being shown on top of each other (ever so slightly mis-aligned). Yet, when I use any other browser, the document opens without losing sharpness.
Also, opening a saved PDF document in Adobe Reader does not cause any loss of sharpness.
Running updated Windows XP; Adobe Reader updated; and Firefox updated.

Firefox's built-in PDF viewer overlays a transparent layer of text over a graphical image so you can copy/paste. It doesn't always line up pixel-perfectly, so if the text is not transparent for some reason, you will see double text.
Could you try switching to the Adobe Acrobat plugin? This article has the steps: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]. Does that one work correctly?
