Won't let me edit effects - can ONLY use presets :(

Recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, all was fine until a couple days ago.
When I go to the "edit" panel to put effects on a track (both audio and MIDI tracks), I can select the effect I want, and I can also pick from any of the presets. However when I click on the picture BESIDE the effect - the one that is supposed to open up a box so I can edit the effect - nothing happens. It does not matter if the effect is turned on or not. Also does not matter if it is a new Garageband file or one that I created and added EDITED effects to months ago - nothing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (my brother has several songs that need recorded for school projects and I was hoping I'd be able to help him out). Thanks in advance!

That sounds very odd, so you should first try the oddball fixes:

I shoot in RAW+L, but Photoshop Elements 10 won't let me edit in RAW, only JPG's.

How can I get it back to editing in RAW?

I am shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II.
I have a Macbook Pro, how do I check the screen resolution?
I had a boudoir marathon this past weekend and I took my laptop with me. At the marathon, I uploaded some photos and that's when I noticed that it wasn't allowing the RAW converter window to appear. When I go to Organizer and choose and image I wish to edit, it reads "reading JPEG file."
I don't want to edit the JPEGS because the quality is noticeably different and I don't want to provide my clients with anything less than quality.
Thank you for your help!

You say it won't let you edit it. What do you mean
* You don't know how
* The can't find the tools you expect to find for editing
* You know how to edit, but you can't select text to edit at all
* The tools are there but greyed out
* You get an error message (what?)
* Something else?

My iPhone 5s won't let me hear music out of my speaker , I can only use my headphones , I can't even hear the keyboard clicks .

Hello reyna171,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot your iPhone's speakers please go through the following steps:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

IPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows

I have the latest version of iPhoto, I'm using Lion and everything is updated.
This happens often, not everytime, but iPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows. When I select the text and begin to type it just gives that annoying "you can't do that but I won't tell you why BEEP" that Apple have devised to irritate the **** out of people.
On this occasion I was using the Sliding Panels theme.
I have closed down iPhoto and restarted several times, but whatever I try it won't let me edit the text. I have read on other forums that this is not an uncommon bug, but not found a solution yet.
Anybody any idea how to fix this, please?
Thanks!
Bruce

As nobody has replied to my post yet I thought I would try something myself, and I seem to have found a work-around.
As I said, I only get this problem now and again - about one slideshow in six - so I changed the theme to one I know works, edited the subtitles as I want them to be, then changed back to the theme I had originally, and everything works perfectly!
You still can't re-edit these subtitles in this theme. You still get the annoying beep if you try.
Incidentaly Apple rather churlishly censored my comment, and replaced it with four asterisks, making it look as if I was using some dreadful expletive. I merely used the commonly used word for The Price of Darkness' home that starts with a letter "h".
Hope this post helps someone with the same problem.

ITunes won't let me edit the song titles

I click on a song title, and click the Get Info and it won't let me edit the song.
The text is light gray instead of being black. When it's black I know I can edit it.
I don't know how this happened... can someone please help me??

Its one of two things,
1) You don't have the rights to those files/location
or
2) The file is read only. Don't change just change the folder rights, go right to the files and uncheck readonly.
Of course it could be something else I'm not aware of.

Having a problem moving a text document from Photoshop to Illustrator.. Won't let me edit the text

Hi there,
I'm a complete technophobe so the answer to this could be quite obvious. I had to create a text using photoshop because of the inside of the text... i.e using a lobster font and it was pink glitter inside it so to give a girly effect.. It's for a college asignment.
I have to use illustrator CS6 to put that text on a b/ground I already made in Illustrator but the .psd doc won't let me edit it in illustrator, it's almost like a PDF. Help!
I hope it's not too confusing to understand, thanks in advance.

Erica,
is there a simpler way of explaining that?
And I feared it was too easy to understand.
You may, in front of the overall background (which you may lock or hide):
1) Create a background with the appearance you wish to apply to the letters, such as a solid cpolour, a gradient or other clolour transition, and some pink glitter in front of it, you may Group all this for convenience; and you may use raster artwork (maybe from Photoshop) if you like;
2) With the Type Tool create the live Type on top of 1), you may move and size it to fit (roughly);
3) Select 1) and 2) and Object>Clipping Mask>Make; 2) will become the (invisible) Clipping Path showing the parts of 1) that are behind it and hide the rest.
As mentioned, you may Direct Select 1) or 2) and edit or move them about relative to the background and each other.

How are you trying to edit?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

After December 2014 security updates, Word 2010 won't let me edit forms any longer

I just installed the December 2014 security udpates. Today, when I open the timesheet form I use every week to record time, Word won't let me edit the form fields in the document. I can select them (sometimes) and it even occasionally lets me resize them,
but I can't type into the free form text fields any longer. I even tried unprotecting the document, but Word won't let me do that either, although I suppose it is possible I forgot the password. But none of the standard ones I use will unlock the form I created.
I'm not using XML form fields; I'm using the legacy text form field. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks,
Jack

For some unknown reason, Itunes won't let me edit Audio info

So I recently synced 1891 songs to my iPhone 5. Whilst the process was completed successfully I noticed where in my itunes library all of the artists were organised accordingly. But suddenly, due to some kind of idiotic magic a lot of my music had missing information/wrong information. Oh well, this happens I thought placidly believing that all I had to do was fix the info myself. But lo and behold for some unknown reason Itunes won't let me edit any of the info of the music on my Iphone 5. Why? I don't know. But I know for a fact that none of the music is "Read-Only" because I check and I did the same process with the same files on a different computer. My new computer (currently using) is authorized and everything seems to be in order, I have no idea why this isn't working but some help would be appreciated. Please. I'm sick of having to read forum after forum after doing the simplest things on Itunes, please someone from Apple answer my question with efficiency, or create a less convulted program

Sounds like the ID3 tags are messed up on those songs.
iTunes imports using v2.2 tags. Convert the tags to v2.3 and try adding the artwork.
Right-click > convert ID3 tags
Also, make sure they are not read-only files.

ITunes won't let me edit CD and song information?

I've added some cd's to my library and iTunes won't let me edit song information or add artwork.

There is a much easier way of solving this rather than converting all of the tracks to AAC..
1) Go to where the album folder is stored on your PC and right click on the folder.
2) Click on properties and unselect the box that says 'read only'. After clicking apply, click OK to confirm changes.
3) Now iTunes should let you edit the song info and add artwork

So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,it takes forever to back up my iPad AND my iPod so what can I do ?

If you're on windows try the following:
This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
1. Quit itunes
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
4. press ENTER
5. Reboot your machine
6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
7. Good luck

How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

Since installing an icon-editing add-on, I can't open tabs any more / I can only use one tab at a time.

Ever since I installed the add-on Favicon Picker 2 that lets you change the bookmark icons, I can't open tabs any more. The second tab will open, but if you try to go to a site, the FIRST tab redirects to that site. Basically, I can only use one tab at a time. Is there any way I can keep this add-on and use tabs?

Oh, wow - look at that, you're right :) I didn't want to uninstall the add-on as I like the feature, but simply by disabling it you can keep the new icons AND use tabs. Thanks dude!
(The add-on is Favicon Picker 2 0.6.2.15 by the way - some of the user reviews report the same problem.)
