can't assign location to an old photo

I am unable to edit location in my pix in Photos? When I go Image>Location>Assign Location, "assign Location" is greyed out.

How can I fix it?

Thanks!

Unable to add location to old photo I'm repeating and updating Fgrigorio's question: "can't assign location to an old photo I am unable to edit location in my pix in Photos? When I go Image>Location>Assign Location, "assign Location" is greyed out. How can I fix it?" The solution posted there of reverting to the original location first doesn't work, as that option is also grayed out for me. I haven't tested this on other devices yet, but I'm currently on an M1 MacBook Air running Ventura 13.1 (22C65). Thanks!

Assigning location not working Hello Apple Community. I've got some old photos which are not geo referenced. I know that I can assign a location to the photo or selection of photos under the photo information but for some reason this is not working. When I type a location in it initially comes up and then it disappears and nothing happens. Any one else have this issue? macOS Big Sur 11.3 (20E232) Photos Version 6.0 (340.0.221)

Assigning a new geo location in Photos v6 Big Sur Just imported all my pics to Apple Photos. Although I can assign a location to photos which do not have one, I can't change any geo locations. The pin won't drag, and there is no text box in which to enter a new location. Any ideas?

I’ve actually figured it out. First, I have to go imag>location>revert to original. This clears the location of the image and allows you to put in a new location.

snd that’s it.

thanks for lending a hand anyway.

What happens if you open the info pane (cmd-i) and try to type a location into the location field there?
