  • My original computer died and I am now trying to import my ipod music on to my new computer.  I got instructions to do a back up, but I can not select this becaust it is grey not black.  Help please

    My old computer crashed so the only place I have my music library is on my ipod.  I am trying to copy my old music into my library in itunes but can't find instructions on the internet that work.  I can not back up my device because back up shows up as a npt selectable item in the menu (grey not black).  I can not copy my old libray over because the old computer crashed.  Any suggestions?

  • Screen Sharing not Working Grey not Black

    Can't seem to find any posts that are helpful with the problem. Was using Screen Sharing with my Inlaws the other night to help them, but now it won't let them share their screen with me. I can share my screen with them but not the otherway around. Has anyone run into this same problem and successfully resolved it?

  • Letterboxed area is dark grey, not black

    When I use Compressor 3.0.2 to encode to MPEG-2 video that's cropped and padded to 2.35 AR inside a 16:9 frame, the letterbox area isn't a true black. It's a very dark gray, but not quite black. Anyone else notice this?

    here's a screenshot:

    notice the letterbox area is slightly lighter than the black in the movie.

  • InDesign black ink is printing grey not black on Canon MP470 printer

    Just installed a new IMac computer. I have two printers available. Canon MP470 connected via USB port and a HP Photosmart 6510 connected via WI-FI. When printing InDesign documents on the Canon printer all colors print a weak color (black is grey etc.). The same document printed on the HP Photosmart 6510 black prints as black and other colors appear normal as designed. Illustrator documents printed in black on both machines print black. Have I messed up a setting?

    I have had the following Preferences set:
    On Screen: Display all Blacks as Rich Black
    Printing/Exporting: Output all Blacks as Rich Black
    and have also checked to activate:
    Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%

  • Music wont play on my ipod, but is still shown in grey(not black) text.

    I got a new 4th generation ipod a few months ago and when i tried to put music onto it 95% of the songs are unplayable by my ipod, but all of my music was working on my 2nd generation ipod and in itunes. the songs that dont work are shown in grey text and the ones that do in black. all of the artists and albums are still displayed in black even if no songs in that folder work. Every now and then when i go to sync, an error message shows up and says that one of the songs couldnt be synced and then the sync ends. and ive fully updated is and even tried reseting the ipod and redownloading itunes.

    If it is a file issue, then you will need to contact iTunes Store support here.
    Hope it all works out!

  • TS1398 Turn the wifi on and off? I think I have a serious problem here. I cannot even press the on and off because its not available (the color is grey not black). I think this is why Apple is constantly losing a buyer and user. Slow action.

    What is the problem here Apple? Please hear us. I turned on my Wifi and then turned it off after use. After that I noticed something strange because I cannot turn on the wifi button anymore. I have restarted the phone several times, and turn it on after 10 mins, sometimes 30 min - 1 Hr. but then again its not working. I encountered this problem after updating my iOS to 6.1.2! Please hear us. If you wanted to penetrate to the market please love your consumers. Your products are great but your actions to their(US, CONSUMERS)  problems in terms of bugs fixes and battery life is so slow. Why is that?

    If these don't work you may have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

  • HT1923 ipod library grey but not black or able to play?

    I have connected opod classic to laptop and it sychs and shows connected and the list of songs.  However you cannot play music becaus the list of songs is grey and not black lighting up the play button.

    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
    One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

    but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

  • Default Background Colour not Black?

    I'm having a very irritating problem with the Windows default background colour.
    A while ago I had set it to this off-shade of yellow, but now whenever I make a new theme (or even load a saved one) my background colour reverts to this aforementioned yellow instead of whatever I have set it to. Which means my themes can never be saved
    and loaded, lest I want to see that awful colour again.
    A step-by-step process for those who are having trouble understanding my wording:
    make new unsaved theme, bg colour is currently set to yellow. I switch it to black, it works as intended.
    Save this theme.
    Whenever I load the saved theme, the background colour is yellow, not black, despite all other personalizations saving correctly.
    Is there a way to change the default colour so that all themes behave as intended, rather than reverting to my previously selected colour?

    Hi,
    Can you show us some different screenshots to  know more about this issue?

  • Have a 27 imac desktop with mac osx 10.5.8, finally got out of grey and black screens etc. is there anything I can do to prevent all this from happening again when I shut down?

    Have a 27 imac desktop with mac osx 10.5.8, finally got out of grey and black screens etc. is there anything I can do to prevent all this from happening again when I shut down? Or before I shutdown? TIA.

    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.
