Why won't name change on some photos take?

I am trying to change the names on photos in a photo album.  Sometimes the name change takes, but other times, after changing the name, after a few seconds, the name changes back to the previous one.  Why is this happening only on some photos and not others and how can I stop it?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads?

    I have an iPod touch. I have my own apple ID and icloud account. Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads? Is there a way I can have my own account and use my dad's card without having his name on my photostream and icloud?
    I went on icloud.com and changed my name but it changes the credit card name to mine as well so I can't get apps unless its under his name, but it confuses everyone i share photo streams with, as there are two of my dads?
    My aunt is having the same problem with her photostream, so I know its not only me.

    I have this problem and it's annoying.  Plenty of people in this world do not pay for their own stuff!.  So i have 5 kids.  All there accounts show as my name when people add them for Photo streams etc etc.  This is ridiculous.  Why not seperate billing address / credit card details to the name of the person on the account?  Why do they have to be the same?

  • Why does black astrisk appear on some photos when clicked ?

    why does a black astrisk appear on some photos when clicked ?

    Are you talking about an exclamation point?  "!" 
    If so that is an indication that your library has damage - what version of iPhoto do you have?

  • IMovie won't apply transitions between some photos

    Software won't apply simple transitions between some photos. Have tried super short transitions (dissolve for eg) for a photo that appears for extened time, but no luck. Sometimes, this 'block' then affects the entire project, not allowing any transitions at all within that project.
    Have reinstalled iMovie, which appeard to fix the problem, but as soon as I made say, 4 new transitions, it won't allow to make any more.
    Is there a limit on total transitions for projects?

    Hey catspaw (great nick)
    Answers below:
    1. Its a 15 min project - with mostly DV - and saw, about 20 pics at the end of the project
    2. Have 200 Gig free disk space. Not an issue
    3. The problem has occurred on two very recent projects. And only appears at the end of the project (ie. just as I am doing finishing touches - which has driven me to distraction!) Both projects are no more than 15 min - both have transitions (short dissolves, overlaps) thru most of the project. But at some point iMovie appears to say 'enough' and won't allow any more transitions any where else of any length (ie under transitions menu the word APPLY is no longer highlighted). Which is odd to say the least.
    4. No problems on earlier projects (but admittedly, this has started in the latest iMovie HD that i have been using). Have been using iMovie for over a year though.
    5. All projects stored on internal drives.

  • Why my workflow name changed?

    Hi All,
    Once I republished my workflow, my workflow name changed into "Workflow Status (1) ". Initially it was like "Workflow Status". What will be issue, how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Sam,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow name changed to Workflow Status(1) after re-publishing the workflow.
    I recommend to remove the Workflow Status(1) from SharePoint and then re-edit the workflow in SharePoint Designer, then publish it again to see if the issue still occurs.
    Please go to Workflow Settings of the list which the workflow associated with and then Click Remove a workflow.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Why won't image change in aperture once I've export to edit in photoshop?

    On going learning issue!
    I finally managed to edit in photoshop via aperture. I have to change the photo from 16 bit to 8 bit so I can edit it. I like to take the photo into Photoshop (elements 4) to fix some spots and such.
    It's supped to change in aperture when you are done editing in photoshop..right?
    What I see is a new version of the photo, but the changes have not been made.
    What am I doing wrong? I can see this becoming a problem when I try to export to print, burn a CD or even to web.
    How I fix it?
    Thanks!

    3) Execute a File > Save command in Elements. (NOT a
    Save As...).
    4) Close the file in Elements.
    The edited version will show up in Aperture
    automatically with all of your changes applied.
    <...>
    One note on that excellent summary - you do not have to close the file after saving, you can continue to work on the image and save multiple times. Each time you save Aperture will recognize the changes and update the Aperture thumbnail.
    As to the original problem, it sounds like possibly you were saving the image somewhere else? Converting to 8-bit should be fine, as is resizing the image - Aperture should adjust for any changes made to the image.
    Another possibility is that Elements does not have something called "compatibility mode" turned on for PSD saves - if you've turned that off to conserve space turn it on again, because that compatibility mode saves a flattened image which is what Aperture uses to recognize image changes.

  • Why did my name change to @icloud in my message on iPhone?

    Why is [email protected] appearing on the top of my messages on my iPhone? Help!
    Thanks!

    I take that back, on my phone it says 'messages.'
    When I text someone '[email protected]' comes up on their phone instead of just my name. I feel like somehow I may have activated my icloud on the Mac and now I have this new email address popping up everywhere.

  • Sproxy: why are ABAP names changed upon regeneration?

    Hello, everyone.
    I've got a small question regarding proxies regeneration via sproxy. In our system we have a datatype enhancement in ESR with several complex properties (internal tables), say, FIELD_1, FIELD_2 and so on. When the proxy was first created, the system generated types for each of these properties: BLAH_BLAH_TAB1 for FIELD_1, BLAH_BLAH_TAB2 for FIELD_2 and so on.
    Recently I had to regenerate the proxy (a new element had been added to the XSD the proxy is based on). What happened next is the following: the sproxy changed the type names for all the complex properties, so FIELD_1 type name is now BLAH_BLAH_TAB2, FIELD_2 is BLAH_BLAH_TAB2, etc. Important note: the types themselves are OK, they conform XSD, however they are now known under different names.
    This has caused a huge pain since those auto-generated types are used in several FMs and reports, so I had to change the names back manually (thankfully, sproxy allows names to be defined by hand).
    My question is: how can I make sproxy keep the auto-generated names unchanged upon proxy regeneration? Or this is not possible and one should not address those types directly at all (too bad, a lot of code will need to be changed)?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, it has always worked in the past.  The past projects audio clips do not change names.  I obviously did something different in this current project, but unfortunately I have no idea what.

  • Finder won't let me open some photos

    In only one of my folders in pictures, a random selection of photos cannot be opened (this happened recently). I get a prompt telling me to use "Get Info" to change the permissions, but even when I go there and unlock the file/change the permissions, I still cannot open the file.

    Please post a screenshot of the Info window. Be careful not to include any private information.
    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file into the editing window to upload it. You can also include text in the reply.

  • Why won't preview open on some users?

    For some reason, the Preview app won't open on one of the users on my Mac, it works on mine but on another it bounces as if it is trying to open and then opens the dialogue box "Sorry, Preview quit unexpectadly", asking me if I want to re-open or quit, if I press re-open the same thing happens again. I've looked at the permissions for the app, seems fine, looked at the users library and deleted any Preview data under the preferences folder and ran disk permissions, to no avail.
    Has anyone got any pointers as to what else I could do, as they really need the Preview app up and working to print PDF's?
    Thanks

    Glad it is working. As for the ownership on your home folder, before tinkering you might try running the list all, long command and see what it reports:
    ls -al /Users
    I have two users, myself and test account. Here's what mine says:
    NoobiX:~ francine$ ls -al /Users
    total 88
    drwxr-xr-x@ 7 root admin 238 Jan 26 15:01 .
    drwxrwxr-t@ 37 root admin 1326 Feb 23 11:35 ..
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Sep 23 17:43 .localized
    drwxrwxrwt 16 root wheel 544 Feb 14 11:29 Shared
    drwxr-xr-x@ 44 francine staff 1496 Feb 26 08:27 francine
    drwxr-xr-x@ 16 revelator staff 544 Feb 23 14:58 revelator
    You can see that the "francine" home folder belongs to francine, group staff, the same as is reported by the id command. Let's see what yours says. Yours should say Miller, group Miller.
    The numerical uid and gid depend on the particular user and group. The 501 is the first admin user created. The second user is 502. The old private groups from Tiger had the same number for the group as for the user, thus the 502 user would be a member of the 502 group. The staff group is 20, the admin group is 80. What you are getting (502 and 502) means that at some point you deleted the very first user and started using a second account, and that you upgraded to Leopard rather than doing an erase and install, as I ended up doing (after getting disgusted with all the bolixed up group permissions problems). Leopard switched back to the UNIX standard of having users be members of the staff group rather than private groups. I know, more information than you ever wanted to have!
    Leopard also introduced the new Guest account, which can actually be quite handy. If you have someone who is visiting and wants to use your computer to check their email or do a little web surfing you can log yourself out and let them log in as Guest. The permissions are fairly restricted, there is no password, and all their stuff is deleted when they log out.

  • Why won't videos play on some pages?

    On some pages I get the flash player and can hear but get no video content.

    I have a similar problem. More info for my case. ...
    iOS 5.1.1, orig iPad.
    Play button changes when touched, but does not start playing.
    MLB.com, YouTube, and other magazine-style sites are affected.
    This is NOT the Flash video problem. Those still load with the play button x-Ed out.
    Some videos, e. g. Facebook ones, play, sometimes.
    The problem started for me about two weeks ago.
    I tried to fix by a full power down and restart. That didn't help.
    I saw on another thread to try "reset". I'll try that next.

  • Domain name changes- need some advice

    We're going to be changing our domain name for our website/email from blahblahblah.info to blahblahblahblah.com and mail.blahblahblah.info to mail.blahblahblahblah.com
    - Servers are Single G5 XServe with static IP 2g ram, and 10.3.9
    - Our external DNS is hosted by our ISP
    - Our internal DNS is on our X-Serve (and there's a secondary one on X-Serve #2).
    - Files and user profiles are on X-Serve #1 and Mail is served off X-Serve #2. (Both are currently .info)
    - We are running Communigate Pro for Mail software.
    - I'm already a bit familiar with the necessary communigate settings I should change (basically just need to tell it that it's .com not .info)
    But I'm totally unfamiliar with the DNS changes I'll need to make thru server admin. I'm a server admin by default, not by training, so go easy on me if possible.

    I think the CommuniGate license is connected to the domainname so you probably can't just change the main domainname without messing up the license. I don't know how the CommuniGate people solve that - ask for a new license? Or keep the old domainname for the CGPro license and move the users to the new domain (change the name).
    If you are running OpenDirectory/kerberos on the machines you probably also have to redo the setup if changing the domainname.
    At AFP548 they have a tutorial how to move OD users and passwords from Panther to Tiger that also can be used when changeing a domainname.
