Why can't I select another external editor?

iPhoto 11.
How do I select another external editor in iPhoto 9.2.1? I have Aperture, Pixelmator and PSE installed but only PSE comes up in the selection box under "Advanced".

I'm a little reluctant to dedicate my use to it because Apple appears to be dropping support for their pro-apps, Mac Pro's and so on.
I wouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet.
, I don't like the duplicates, faces, keywords being divorced from the photo and more annoyances than I care to enumerate.
I'm not sure what duplicates your referring to. If you mean when sending to an External editor, well stacking will hide that in Aperture. Faces can be turned off in Aperture (not in iPhoto) and keywords have always been stored in the database not the photos in every iteration of iPhoto. They can only be written to the file on export. Nothing different there.

  • Why can't I see my external hard drive, Intel iMac / 500 GB, G-Drive

    Why can't I see my external hard drive?  I have a new iMac, Intel based i5, running Lion (2-3 months old).  I have a 500 GB G-Drive external hard drive that has showed up when connected to my iMac for the past 2-3 months.  Now it's gone.  It's NOT visible when using Disk Utilities.  I have all of the radio buttons chosen in the Finder Preferences.  I've unplugged and replugged in the drive, have switched the cable ports and have switched firewire cable.  The G-Drive powers up and whirls, so I don't believe the problem is with the drive. Yes, I set my Preferences to make sure ALL disk types are visible.  I've restarted my iMac on a number of occations.  I rest my SMC by totally unplugging my iMac for a minute, then plugging it back in. Any suggestions?

    Unplug the HD, Zap the PRAM, reconnect the HD, power it up, and see if that fixes the problem. If not, then maybe the HDs bitten the dust. Try on another computer to verify.

  • Why is select calendar and address book greyed out? Why can we not select these options?

    Why can we not select address books or calendars? Why is this option greyed out in ITunes 12?

    You have to make the selection active.
    Go to Select>all, then Select>modify>border.
    Another way is to use a stroke:
    Open your picture file
    Go to Select>all
    Open a blank layer above this
    Go to Edit>stroke(outline) selection. In the  dialog, enter the width of the stroke, choose color, place it inside, ok it.
    If you don't like the border, delete the layer with the stroke, and adjust to suit, then do it over starting with step #3

    Why can't I select "get info" from the file area so I can change the setting to "open in 32-bit mode" ?

    It may be because of your settings. You can modify that setting in System Preferences > Trackpad. Another way of making right-click is to click the app icon while holding the Control key

  • Why can't I select preferred wifi networks

    why can't I select preferred wifi networks

    I don't know how to block the other wireless access points to show on the list, but from what you said, you want to let it connect to one of your preferred network whenever one is available, connect it automatically.
    before you change anything, let run the following command in Terminal to show your Mac current settings:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort en1 prefs
    copy what it returned.
    mine returned:
    AirPort preferences for en1:
    DisconnectOnLogout=NO
    JoinMode=Preferred
    JoinModeFallback=Prompt
    RememberRecentNetworks=YES
    RequireAdminIBSS=NO
    RequireAdminNetworkChange=YES
    RequireAdminPowerToggle=YES
    WoWEnabled=NO
    That's the default behaviour of OS X, we don't care for what reason it was changed on your Mac. Lets reset it.
    in Terminal, run the following command:
    sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/air port en1 prefs JoinMode=Preferred JoinModeFallback=Prompt RememberRecentNetworks=YES
    it may ask you to put admin password, and do so, press enter to continue.
    Explain a little bit.
    The JoinMode=Preferred means, it will connect your preferred network when it's available.
    JoinModeFallback=Prompt: if no preferred network around, it will prompt you to choose. if you want you can select other options:
         JoinOpen
         KeepLooking
         DoNothing
    RememberRecentNetworks=YES: it will remember whatever network it joined before, put it in your preferred network. If you want, set it to No.
    you can get the details of airport command by run:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort
    Hope this help.

  • Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings?

    Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings. . . I see it there as an option, but it won't let me choose it.  I don't want to manually shuffle 329 slides!

    It's only available in slideshow that are generated from a album.  There you can select the Shuffle checkbox.  You can also save the settings for that specific album to be used on any set of photos that you might put in there.  Name the album something like Slideshow and reuse it.  Just remove the last batch of photos from it and add the new ones.  That will save you having to set all of the settings each time or just one setting like music.

  • Why can I not select SD versions of SD programs I purchased?

    Why can I not select SD versions of SD TV programs I purchased? When I go to my program to download it. I click the SD button, that is what I paid for. It will not move over to the SD version to allow me to download it even though I have received notification that I have a new program waiting.

    I found my own solution. While in the Itunes store I did a search for the program by name of the current season. It brought up a list of the current season and it showed that I had an undownloaded episode of the program. I hit the download ad it completed the SD download.

  • Why can't I select a Music Source - iPhoto 9.1.3?

    I can't stand that awful jazzy piano accompaniment when I start a slideshow, but every time I try to change the music, ie here:
    ...I click on the arrows where it says "Source" & nothing happens. I've tried trashing the pref file, but it still resolutely refuses to show anything at all. I deselected "Play music during slideshow" because that jazzy piano was doing my head in!! Why can't I select some other music source?

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home()/  Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/ Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot and launch iPhoto to try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't help try deleting the com.apple.iApps.plist file from the same folder as the iPhoto preference file.

  • Can't open image in external editor, can't export images

    Greetings helpful Aperture experts,
    I've just finished transferring aperture from one computer to a replacement unit. Except for being slow on my previous g5, it worked flawlessly at every level. However, now that I've xferred, I can't open Aperture images with an external editor, nor can I export the images to my desktop. Any help along these lines will be gigantically appreciated.
    gaylon

    Thanks, ok, here is the info step by step:
    When I try to pick any raw image, I am not able to export from Aperture. When I go into the finder and select "show master" then I am able to export from aperture. However, it seems that I am not able to export an image full size. I selected export image to full size jpg to my desktop. Nothing happens except that the window that indicates the image is exporting is open and it says estimated time less than a minute. Yet, there is nothing happening. Additionally, before I transferred Aperture over to my new g5, I could right click an image and had the option to open an image with external editor. Now, no such menu item is apparent. An update, the menu box that lets me know that my image is exporting is still open but there has been no progress. It will just sit there forever, or until I force Aperture to quit. Here's another strange goings on: One of my folders of raw images appear to be pixelated and of very poor quality, even when viewing the masters. The images have already been published by the client in their annual report, so I know that what I am seeing on the screen is not reality. Should I just uninstall Aperture and reinstall? Also, what will this do to the thousands of images in my libraries? Thanks so much for your input and help. In no way am I an expert, but I've been successfully using Aperture since it came out. That was on my G5 dual processor mac with pre intel configuration. Now, these strange things are happening with my new replacement G5 with the Intel processors. Thanks again.

  • Can't open image in External Editor.

    Hello. I'm using Piccure as external editor for LightRoom 5.2. When trying to open image, I get "Image file -psn_0_S784964 doesn't exist", when my original image has different name. Image name is accepted by Piccure as first command line argument. Looks like LightRoom starts Piccure with wrong arguments.
    Could it be that LightRoom starts external editor with different syntax then "/Applications/Piccure/Piccure.app/Contents/MacOS/psplugin /pathToFile/imagefile.tiff". Maybe in some cases it adds more arguments, or corrupts existing path to image?
    Thanks.
    Here is the OS sys info as well:

    What "original" camera file type are you using, how are you creating the TIFF files, and what bit depth (8, 16, 32)?  The Piccure FAQ says raw images need to be converted to 32/channel TIFF files, but under 'How To' it says:
    Select “Filter/Piccure/Reduce camera shake...” (Lightroom®:Select “Photo/Edit in/Piccure”. Save the current photo as a copy(TIFF,16 Bit) and run piccure).
    Also what are your External Editing Preference settings for Piccure?
