I also had this problem but it was because I was trying to rate pictures directly off the SD card while I had the card lock on. Once I unlocked the card, I was able to rate them.

Writing data to a CF or SD card in card reader or camera is usually not the best idea and can get you in trouble in some cases due to software differences between system and camera. Always copy the files first to your system itself and after checking if they are correct and you have made a proper back up of those files use the camera software to format the card in camera to start with an empty and fresh card.

I usually don't do that but I was in a huge hurry and really, I need to buy PhotoMechanic. But thanks for the reminder. Nothing worse than spending hours shooting and then corrupting the data.

What happens when you try? In the Essentials workspace I can just select an image and apply a rating or label from the Label drop-down menu.

I'm also having issues labeling files with stars. Before I upgraded to CS6 I could click on the area below the file name and click on a star rating, now that option is not available. Is there a way to re-enable this? I know there are shortcut keys and a drop-down menu to label them, but it's a but more of a hassel than just clicking.

In eidt/preferences/label do you have it checked to require Ctrl key for labeling?
