8.2.1 grays out external speakers

I updated to iTunes 8.2.1 and now my external speakers (which I accessed through my airport express) are grayed out. I've restarted my computer, unplugged and replugged the airport, and checked the iTunes prefs, making sure that "look for remote speakers with Airtunes" was checked. Don't know what else to try...
Any ideas?
Thanks! --Brian

Hey Brian - here's how I did it. It takes some work - but really not that much.
I used AppZapper http://www.appzapper.com/ to remove ITunes completely. This uninstaller will remove all of the associated application extensions ITunes uses. In order to remove iTunes, you have to go into preferences of that application and 'uncheck' the "Keep default applications safe". (AppZapper is free for the first 5 uses)
Once you remove iTunes, you can download the previous version (8.2) from Softpedia at: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Download-iTunes-8-2-for-Mac-and-Windows-113083.sh tml
Download, install, and all should work. (You will have to review your preferences in iTunes, but the good news is the library catalog stays intact.
Let me know if you run into trouble.

CS5 Playback Settings grayed out and no longer can set playback on external monitor.

I like to view my projects while editing on an external monitor but the Playback Settings are grayed out. I've done all my prior projects with external monitor display enabled with no problems and can go back to a prior projects completed and view them using an external playback monitor. For some reason, the Playback Settings on my latest project are grayed out and I'm not able to set Desktop Video Display During Playback.
The last project worked on was about 3 months ago. Last week, I started working on two new projects and noticed that I wasn't able to set playback to my external monitor. All my devices are hooked up and I can review older projects on the external monitor but can't set two new projects to use display on the external monitor.
Anyone have any ideas?
Problem solved. My fault.
The Sequence Preset Settings selected must support the device the external monitor is connected to. In my case, IEEE 1394 firewire. I corrected the new project to the correct Sequence Settings and can now view playback on the external monitor.

"The Desktop Video 9.7.5 software update allows users to take advantage of many new features in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications such as powerful new editing timelines and shortcuts and audio mixing with Adobe Premiere Pro® CC and new creative and visual effects tools with Adobe After Effects® CC."
So everything should be covered on that front. And as I listed, I was getting playback out of AE CC, so I feel it is solely an issue in Premiere. That was worth checking out though since CC is so new. Thanks for replying.

External Hard Drive Grayed Out?

External hard drive (Lacie) will not mount on finder. It shows up in Disc Utility, but the name is grayed out and when I click on "mount" nothing happens.
Is there any hope of getting that data back?
Thanks!

Click on the Repair Disk button with that disk selected in the Disk Utility; if the Disk Utility cannot repair it, an utility such as TechTool Pro or DiskWarrior might be able to, or you can try using Data Rescue to recover data from the drive without repairing any errors.

Time Machine not backing up 2nd external drive, remove option grayed out

I have two external hard drives, 300gb (firewire) and 500gb (usb). Time Machine is backing up to the 300gb. In Time Machine's options, the 500gb is excluded from being backed up, and the remove option is grayed out.
The 300gb Time Machine Backup drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended. The 500gb drive is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT32).
I know the backup drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended, but will it not even back up other drives that are FAT32?

I am having a similar problem. I initially set it up 3 days ago and had it back up just the iMac to Time Capsule (about 120 GB) which it did no problem (I initially had my LaCie drive excluded). I then un-excluded my other drive, where all my photos and music reside (about 130 GB). Since then, it keeps trying to back up about 102 GB each time. Looking at the list of backups it does not appear that it has ever successfully backed up the LaCie. I am not aware of any error messages, but I have not been home much. I normally shut down the computer at night but I have been leaving it on trying to let Time Machine do its thing. All I can say is that every time I am at the computer TM is running and it always looks like it is in the middle of backing up 102 GB (usually seems to be near the beginning, never seem to see it more than halfway done). Looking at the TM panel it says the latest backup was 2 days ago. I'd appreciate any advice!

How can I partition an external hard drive with data in it? When I select the drive, the partition option is grayed out.

I am having a problem partitioning an external hard drive with data in it.
When I select the partition, everything is grayed out. I can't add a a partition for some reason. When I asked this question to other people, they told me to select my partition "io" to do it from there.
As you can see, I can't seem to partition it form there either. I ran the Verify Disk utility but the volume came out okay.
Any ideas as to what the problem would be?
Thanks!
Luis

Select the main hard drive entry (topmost one.) Click on the Partition tab. Shrink the existing partition by grabbing the sizing gadget in the bottom right corner and pushing up until you free up enough space for your second partition. Be sure you do not shrink to less than the space currently occupied by your files. Click on the Add[+] button to create a new partition in the free space. Click on the Apply button and wait until the partitioning is completed.

How can I move photos from pictures to my Iomega external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste them. The paste button is grayed out.

Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact.

Audio not coming out both external speakers on Lenovo Horizon All-in-one

I have just received my Lenovo Horizon 27 inch all-in-one pc and I've noticed a problem with the audio. When I plug in my external speakers I only get audio out of the left channel. I noticed another person with the same problem posted to the forums some time back but the Lenovo tech never got back to him with a solution so I'm really hoping I'll have better luck.
The sound comes out propperly when headphones are plugged in but my speakers only output a single chanel of audio. The speakers work fine on other PCs. As was suggested in the other thread, I compared the headphone jack and the speaker jack and they are identical. Same number of stripes, same length, and I believe the same girth.
Here's the url for the other post I mentioned: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaCentre-Desktops-Home-Servers/Horizon-27-sound-issue/m-p/1475392/high...
I also can't seem to find where the number is to call for support so if someone could help me with that I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks,
Charles
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay, so I called Lenovo support and as always, they were polite but their solution was that it was a software issue and I needed to restore my computer, so not very good advice but often given by every tech support. It's like cutting off your hand because you have a cuiticle.
Anyway, so in all the sitting and waiting I had a thought come back about when I used to manage a computer store that sold Macs. Apple, when they released the Macbook Air, tried to squeeze so much into the tiny case that there were a million problems with the device one of which was that some headphones and speakers worked fine (namely ones made by Apple, go figure) and others wouldn't work at all. It was a design flaw related to have very low tollerances for minor differences in the headphone jacks length et al.
So I used an extension audio cable with my speakers and it works fine now. So the answer is that there is a design flaw in the Lenovo Horizion related to the effort to squeeze so much into the thin device which lowers the devices tollerance for variations in the size and shape of the headphone plug. I hope this helps someone else since the solution is simple and if it had been in a database it would have saved a lot of time for me and the techs. Not complaining, just wanting to put this information out there for others who might be experiencing the same sort of problems.

Sound - My built speakers do not show in the output section in sound system preferences area only digital out hence unless I connect external speakers I have no sound - can anyone assist?

on my IMac the internal speakers have ceased working - in the sound preferences area only digital out sound is there no internal speakers to choose so unless I connect external speakers I have no sound

Hey Jack (woofman jack)
Sounds like the micro switch inside the output jack that switches the audio from internal to external is stuck on external. Try plugging a set of buds, headphones or digital Toslink adapter in and out a few times to see if it will unstick the micro switch. You also might try jiggling a tooth pick around inside the audio output jack to see if that unsticks it? If not then you'll need to make an appointment at your Local Apple Store or Apple Service Provider and have the jack serviced.

My external iPhoto folder is grayed out - how can I open it in iPhoto?

My old Seagate external drive which had my iPhoto folder died but we were able to move a copy from my TimeMachine to my new LeCie external harddrive.
But now when I try to open iPhoto and then point to the LeCia folder for my iPhoto Library - the folder is grayed out. But all 194.4GB is in the iPhoto Library.
How can I may the iPhoto Library not gray so I can open this in iPhoto?
Thanks

Got it fixed! The Folder was set to Open With Terminal!
Maybe when you moved it over from your other system, the Open With got changed? To change this, in your Finder, select the iPhoto library from your User/Pictures folder and do a Get Info on it Command+I.
Then change the Open With to iPhoto application!
Then from the Finder, double click the iPhoto Folder and it will be opened with iPhoto! WALLA it worked!

Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV. When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers. Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker. Why?

Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV. When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers. Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker. Why?

As far as I know, the Airport Express only transmits sounds via Itunes. So every other sound (internet, but also incoming mail) will be coming out of your mac instead of your external speakers.

Dell U2412M as an external display for my MacBook Pro mid 2008, the clarity of fonts are absolutely unimpressive. The settings do not detect the Dell U2412M (which is grayed out), are there any drivers that need to be installed ?

I have posted this annoying Robles to bugreport.apple.com. Hope I can get locution (although Apple normally will not respond):
On a software name Appfresh, it alerted me to update my MBPr 15 inches running latest OSX 10.8.2, with Chinese Word List Update 1.2. When I clicked on Software Pdate, app Store return No update available.
My system have Chinese Word List Update 1.0 installed, and on October 5, 2012, Chinese Word List Update 1.1 was released by Apple, as alerted through AppFresh. However, this update never get updated on m system. I have to manually download chinesewordlistupdate.pkg from reviews.cnet.com/macfixit and install it manually. By doing so, I have Chinese Word List Update 1.1 on my system.
The same problem occurred again today on November 5, 2012, where Chinese Word List Update is released by Apple. again, it fail to update from Software Update menu.
Can you please:
1. Explain why this problem occurred. This is so annoying.
2. Advise me how can I get this Chinese Word List Date to update to version 1.2. Can you please send me the chinesewordlistupdate.pkg for version 1,2 so that I can manually install it on my system?
3. How can I prevent similar problem with he subsequent version?
Why Apple don't make this update standard as other update?
Support please. Thank for response in advance

How do I get the sound to come out of external speakers?

How do I get the sound to come out of external speakers?

Thanks for our reply. My speakers are powered Bose speakers but still didn't pick up the sound until I tried this suggestion from another discussion thread. This worked like a charm:
Re: External speakers don't work created by ally100 in MacBook Pro -View the full discussion
I had a similar problem a while back. The issue was with the speaker jack plug and the macbook phone socket. For some reason the jack plug was not a good a fit, as say the jack that comes with the iphone ear phones. A few tiwsts and turns of the speaker jack plug and it eventually became a snug(ish) fit. Have a look on you tune. There are a couple of videos on there that might help if this is not the issue.

External Editor Options Grayed Out

When choosing to edit a RAW file in Photoshop as a Lightroom external editor, "edit the original" is grayed out because there is no reason to edit a RAW file in Photoshop when you are starting in Lightroom. Makes perfect sense. But what if you were trying to use an external RAW editor (a native format editor or LightZone, e.g.)? Would "edit the original" be available then? I understand that the edited image would have to be converted in the external editor before being saved, and wouldn't be saved as a RAW file, but it would be helpful to be able operate on the RAW image in the external editor launched directly from Lightroom. (It would be helpful for me to know in advance because the answer may affect a purchase decision.) Thanks in advance.

Right (and thanks). I do understand that once the external editor operated on the file it would have to converted in the external editor and saved as something other than RAW, as I mentioned in my original post, say in TIFF. My question is only whether I can get a RAW file to the external editor from Lightroom so that the external editor can convert the file, which would be saved and brought back into Lightroom for further processing or printing. That is, if one tries an external RAW editor on a RAW file, will Lightroom's "edit original" option be grayed out or available? thanks again.
