Why can't I edit reminders in iCal?

If I create a reminder on my iPhone, I cannot edit it in iCal. It shows up just fine, but it is read only....

It seems they can be edited in iCloud, but not in iCal. Also, the repeat feature is only available on the iPhone. I think this is a bug.

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?

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 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.

When I click on the RSS button, I got this
message:
"Safari can’t open the page “feed://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~fiorezet/UT/Publications/rss.xml”. The error was: “unknown error” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1)
Will need to look further into that one.
I used the Feed Validator Website to check my RSS files. The Website says: "This feed does not validate". The site also shows in which lines the errors are. The link below shows what I mean:

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.

So I only have fifteen minutes to change it. Did not notice it on my last thread I started.

Hi Rob,
I can confirm what Craig has stated, and it was not just spelling mistakes.
There were some folks going around updating their questions (for example when the requirement was counter-questioned) and others who deleted their question once they had the answer.
The famous "Why 'x'", was answered with a "Why not 'x'"...

Cannot edit Reminders in iCal

I cannot edit some of the Reminders in iCal on my MacPro. I tried to figure out what's different about the ones I can't edit, and it may be that they are set to "repeat every day" - I can change them on my iPhone with the Reminders app, but it doesn't make sense to me that I can't change that on my computer. I'd like to end the repeat every day w/out having to use my iPhone.
Does anyone know what's the problem - is it fixable?
Thanks

Please, please, please, report the issue that both alarms and due dates at the same time are not possible as a bug here:http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. The more people who submit it, the more likely apple will listen.

Why can't I add Birthdays in iCal unless they come from Address Book !

I don't get it. I have a Birthdays calendar that seems to only allow birthdays to be created from the Address Book. If I go to iCal, and select the Birthdays calendar and then try to double click on a date, I just get the message that reads; "Read Only Calendar. You can not change events or ToDo in a read only calendar". I can select any other calendar and add an Birthday "event" that repeats every year. But, Come On !!!! How lame is that!
Who knows, maybe this is a problem with Address Book not allowing multiple Birthdays per entry (for example one email address per family but there are 4 people in that family). I do not intend to create a separate Address book entry for my friend /family young children just so I can see their Birthday's in iCal. That would be ugly.
Does anyone have a solution. Is there any hope that Apple would even consider this type of fix?
Thanks in advance,
Brad.

Thanks for the suggestion Austin, however that would still not solve the problem where Address Book only allows 1 Birthday entry per address book entry. My brother, his wife and 2 children all share 1 email address for their household. So, I only have 1 entry in Address book. I used the "+" button in Address book to add the wife and kids, just like you can do for many of the items when editing an address book entry. That is Except Birthday!
Oh well, I have given up on address book except to store basic info. For the birthdays, I decided to just creats "events" in iCal itself that repeat every year. No sence over complicating things I guess.
