AVCHD Files "Greyed Out" In Import Screen

Hello-
I am a new user to FCPX, and I am having a bit of trouble when trying to import my AVCHD file to FCPX. I am running FCPX 10.1.2 on a MacBook Pro OSX v. 10.9.4 with an Intel Core i5 2.4GHz processor, Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB and I am trying to import an AVCHD file from my Panasonic AG-AC90PJ. My file currently resides on a SanDisc Ultra 30MB 64GB SDXC card. However, when I try to import the AVCHD file, it appears "greyed out" in the import window (see below)
I've tried importing it directly to my HD from the SD Card, with the same result when trying to import into FCP. Also, I've tried connecting my camera directly with the SD card inserted via USB 2.0, with yet again the same result. Does anyone have some experience with how to successfully download this file?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

meant as a workaround to get your precious videos into FCPX:
//work with a copy of your card!//
in Finder, open that Private Folder, right-click on that AVCHD file, choose 'Open package', next level, Open Package of 'BDMV', and finally in in the 'Stream' folder you'll find your .mts files. You can drag them out of that location (again: work with a copy of your card!) ... FCPX should be able to import those 'naked' mts as files ..
back to your original problem:
in Finder, select your card, cmd-i ... what does it tell how the card is formatted? ....

Artwork button greyed out on imported CD.

I just imported AC/DC's Black Ice off CD. When I attempted to add the album cover (from a picture I snagged online), the Artwork button is greyed out. I don't have this issue with other songs on iTunes. Does anyone know if this is an issue with iTunes (and how to fix it) or with some copyright protection on the CD.

You probably ripped the CD using the wrong file format. MP3 and AAC support album artwork, but some other formats do not. You can change your Import Settings under Preferences->General.

ITunes library file greyed out

I've managed to keep the same iTunes library since 2003, surviving the transition from WinXP to Mac. It (and my music) resided on an external FAT32 USB drive (FAT32) for about a year, and I recently migrated it over to a larger FireWire/USB combo drive formatted FAT32.
Over the past month, I've been accessing the drive (named "SHERRY") from my home server. It's connected via USB and named "Sherry" on the AFP network as well.
Last week, I physically connected the drive to my Mac via FireWire for faster access. iTunes couldn't find the majority -- but not all -- of my songs, saying it couldn't find the "Sherry" network share. (All the MP3s are physically present on the hard drive.)
Now, iTunes won't open the library at all -- it's greyed out when I try to select it (using the alt-click-icon method to start iTunes.) Opening the default iTunes library on my Mac works fine, and I'm still using iTunes 7 so it's not a compatibility issue.
Rebuilding the library from the XML file won't work either, because only about 3K of my 20K+ songs show up if I do that.
Is there anything I can do to revive my library? Or do I have to restore from my months-old backup on the old hard drive?
I'm trying to start DJing professionally here soon and I need access to my playlists and library so I can import them into another program. Please help if you can.

Imported Events greyed out after import

Converted a CD with Handbrake to mpeg-4 without problem. Imported into iMovie and initially able to view Event clips and active frame window. Then, for reasons unclearn, all Events are greyed out, altho active frame window is displayed and will "play". Anyone know what happened? First time user of iMovie so may be missing a critical step?
Thanks for any guidance. Hvee

Thanks for the tips, but none of these items is the issue. I am using an external 300GB connected via FW 800. The drive has maybe 20GB of stuff on it, so that is not an issue. I can't figure the issue out, because I did a little test. I took some video I captured using the El Gato device, exported as HD 720P. Using iMovie on the Mac Mini, iMovie won't see it on the Mac Mini. I took the same exported version as above and put it on my MBP (2.16GHz, 3GB RAM). Imported it into iMovie in the same procedure as I did on the Mini. Except this time on the laptop, iMovie sees it. Something somewhere on th eMini isn't working right. I have tried repairing disc permissions without luck, so I guess I am down to wiping and reinstalling all my software on the Mini. Hopefully that will work. Any thoughts?

IWork Files Greyed Out

Hi
I bought an iMac G5 second hand. It had old, licensed copies of iWork on it. I deleted them and installed my licensed copy of iWork. The Mac seems to have picked up the previous users license key but I am able to create and save documents in Keynote etc.
However, when I try and email using a webmail client, any iWork files are greyed out and not selectable. Other files created in, say, Text Edit are selectable as attachments.
I have trashed the plist file for Keynote but this does not help. Permissions for the file are read and write. I am signed in as an Administrator.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?
Thanks
David

Control-click a document, compress or archive it, and attach the zip file. iWork creates packages, which look like files but are actually folders, and these cannot be directly attached to an email.

Process multiple files greyed out

My file>Process multiple files option is all greyed out and unusable. Anyone know what I might be missing here?

Make sure you are in Full Edit and not Guided or Quick.

Offline files greyed out.

I have a client computer running win 7. It's on a domain running server 2012. I had three folders mapped to that computer, and one of the folders was set to sync offline files, but it was the wrong one. I unchecked the "make available offline"
setting. It then un indexed that folder. I then tried to set the correct folder to "make available offline", but it's greyed out. I've tried multiple fixes but nothing works. Can someone show me how to make the correct folder available for offline
files.
Thank you.

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me know if this issue occurred in the only one folder which set to sync offline files?
Based on your description, would you please let me know if you use the administrator account? If not, please logon as an administrator and the monitor this issue.
In addition, please refer to the following article and check if it’s helpful.

Captivate edit psd file greyed out!

I have the entire CS 5.5 suite, Captivate, Photoshop, Bridge, etc. In Captivate, <Edit PSD File> is greyed out. What do I have to do to get Captivate to recognize the other tools in the suite so that I may edit source while in Captivate? Thanks for your response.

Hi there
I agree with what you are saying. Unfortunately, Adobe's policies are unlikely to change UNLESS they hear from enough unhappy customers. One way to voice your displeasure is to file a Wish Form/Bug Report. You could file a Bug Report stating that you feel it's a bug that the products don't easily integrate. (link to the form is in my sig)
You do have an option to right-click objects in the library and open them using any editor you like. Perhaps that helps?
Cheers... Rick

Files "greyed" out on Mac OSX

The files in my "files" workspace tab and menu bar above it in Dreamweaver CC are greyed out (they don't show any colours), on my windows 7 computer they do have colour.
I also have problems editing my CSS at times, it will blank out while I am editing, and Dreamweaver's been crashing.
On an additional note I am using SVN as well on my local area network, is it possible that this could be the cause of my frustration, since it only started happening after setting up the SVN?
Thank you, your help will really be appreciated!

AVCHD transcode greyed out

I'm trying to ingest footage I shot in AVCHD and transcode it to ProRes 422, but for some reason the transcode option is greyed out. Any ideas? I'm using a MacPro with NVIDIA graphics card and the latest MacOS.

Hi,
Let's start with some basic questions and go from there.
1. Did you set the check box on at least one media thumbnail?
2. Is the "Transfer Clips to Destination" check box in the "Transcode Options" section of the Ingest Dialog checked?
Let us know if either of these fixed the issue. If not we will dig deeper.
Thanks,

All iTunes Files Greyed-Out in iMovie 5(HD)

Hi all - all iTunes files appear as they should in Garageband and in iMovie 6, but I have just now noticed they are greyed-out in iMovie 5. Last night I also found that the iPhoto pane in iMovie 5 was blank, but managed to fix that - by following the Apple Support advice for that. Their advice for fixing a 'no display of iTunes in iMovie' did not work for me, however.
I have repaired permissions and re-created plists to no avail.
My iTunes version is 7.6 - that and a few other up-dates were installed a couple of days ago. Is there some known incompatibility with the latest iTunes and iMovie 5? I've been away from civilisation for a while so may have missed something in that regard.
Any help appreciated!

Hi.I am having difficulty setting up my icloud account on my iphone4. It's telling me Account not verified and to check my email at my apple account.The screen is greyed out and i cannot switch on any of the apps.Also icloud backup is off. Is it safe to delete this account? will it erase everything on my phone??

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Why are my files greyed out and say zero kb?

Hey all,
I've recently upgraded to mavrics and am having trouble accessing files on one of my hard drives. I didn't have this problem with mountiain lion. I've tried all of the ussual fixes. Disk utility doesn't find any errors, the permissions seem correct. When I check the info on these files it says I have read and write aceess to them. It's very bizzare. Some files aren't greyed out, and the display the correct size and what not. What should I do? Thank You!

I have the same problem. I've reset file creation and mod dates. Didn't help.
This is on a 3TB Fusion Drive.

Why is "Choose File" greyed out when using Safari on an iPad?

I'm an Apple newbie, being in the PC World for a long time and have just got an iPad.
I use a number of websites which I upload content to by way of word docs, pdfs, presentations etc. Usually Safari on a PC or MAC has a "choose file" button where the file is selected for upload, however on my iPad this is greyed out...?
I have both transferred docs and presentations to the iPad via iTunes and created them on the iPad using Pages and Keynote but still the button is greyed out.
I hope it is something I am doing wrong or an incorrect setting rather than a "feature" of iPads.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Can you give an example? The app GoodReader has a function where you enter a URL and it will download the item. A lot of times in safari when you touch a download it will give you an option to copy the address. That copies it to the clipboard when you can then paste it in the GoodReader app.

I NEED HELP...I am new to FCPX and I can NOT get my AVCHD files on HD to import to FCPX

I know this has prob been covered a million times BUT I cant find the answer or solution. I am new to FCPX and I shoot video on canon xa10 using internal HD...When I go to import into FCPX the files are empty?? Why?? I can see the files on my HD but the import window only shows the name of the file and no footage to import..WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?? Tell me I did not pay $300.00 for an editing prog that I cant use..And please be gental, like I said im new to editing side.

AVCHD is no 'format' but a specific folder-structure.
to allow FCPX to import from there, this COMPLETE files&folders structure has to be intact.
'cause people ignored that, since MacOS 10.8. this folder strucuture is hidden in a pkg-file, which looks like that:
this 'Private' thing is actually a folder, containing folders, containing ....
my screenshot shows a backup or 'archive' of one of my recordings, on an extHDD, inside a folder.
to import such a camera-backup, I choose Import File in FCPX and click down to my backup, 'til this structure gets visible.
in case for whatever reason you have NOT copied the whole SDcards content, it looks like this:
these are the actual 'videos' inside the AVCHD structure (notice the loooong way to it in the breadcrumb down below)
mts is no video-codec, but a 'wrapper' or media-container - inside are the h264 encoded videos. to allow FCPX to import such files, they needed to be re-wrapped from mts>>mov (NOT converted!)
there are commercial solutions such as ClipWrap, or the free reMux tool
