Conform greyed out in the Clip Window?

It used to be easy . . .
I want to conform a 720p 50fps QT clip to 25fps.
As per the Manual, I opened the clip in CT but "Conform" is greyed out in the Clip Window.
I attempted a Batch Conform but it showed the process at 50% then CT quit.
+Where did I go wrong!+ ??

is fcp showing your original clip as 720p50 or 720p25 ?
If it shows as 720p25 with 50fps (lets say you used 720pN mode on hvx200) then CT should conform ok. if it shows 720p50 at 50fps then it wont (i dont know why though sorry..)

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

Why is "more info" greyed out in the About This Mac window?

RE: MacBook Air running OS X 10.6.8
The More Info... is greyed out in the About This Mac window... how can I ungrey it to get info?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

IPhone 4S: the Wi-fi is greyed out and the Bluetooth seems unable to initialize.

Several weeks ago, I got a replacement iPhone 4S due to an unrelated issue. Approximately six days after receiving it, I had the wi-fi start sporadically working (it could not stay connected to the wireless network). Within three hours of that, the wi-fi stopped working entirely. The wi-fi toggle was greyed out in the Settings app and I could not activate it. The bluetooth seemed to be unable to get going, either, although I at least saw a spinning "working" symbol instead of gray out. I tried the guidance provided in from the Apple Support site, including restoring, resetting, etc.
A week later (approximately four days ago), I went to an Apple store with the issue. They replaced the phone with another iPhone 4S. The wi-fi seemed to work. However, two days later (Monday, November 25), I observed that the wi-fi was no longer working. It was greyed out. The bluetooth seemed not to work either. I tried resetting it, clearing the network settings, and what not. It did not work it.
Today, I went to the Apple store at lunch time. After some standard troubleshooting, they got a new, replacement phone out for me. When that phone was set up (as a new phone), it wasn't able to connect to the Apple store's wireless. Once it was set up, we observed that the wi-fi was greyed out and could not be activated. The Apple store employee plugged it into a nearby laptop and did a factory reset. When that was done, the wi-fi seemed to work.
I got home roughly an hour ago. I have done little with the phone other than browse a few websites. As I was attempting to download some of the apps I no longer had (as I was *advised* not to restore from my old iPhone backup), the wi-fi disconnected. I went to investigate and it could no longer find any wireless networks. I tried to toggle the wi-fi. Once it was in the off position, it would not return to the on position.
I just completed a factory reset of the phone. As of right now (within 20 minutes of the restore), the wi-fi is still connected and functioning.
I'm already prepared to return to the Apple Store within the next four days because I'm expecting to the wi-fi to fail, again. Luckily, I got the extended AppleCare plan, but if I have to either return my phone to the Apple Store or do factory resets every day, this is not the phone I want.
Has anybody else had similar experiences? Is there an official justification for this, outside of "rumors" of iOS issues? Do I have a Sim Card problem? Or is this just a subtle suggestion from Apple that it's time to get a Windows phone?

Hi Holliecollie93,
It sounds very frustrating that you are unable to use wifi with your iPhone. I do have an article that I would like you to use in order to troubleshoot this, though it sounds as if you have already done some of the steps provided -
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Specifically -
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

PS CS6 Filters greyed out for Timeline clips - what's wrong?

Hi
I've just watched an Adobe TV video by Julianne Kost about video features in PS CS6.
At one point she converts a video clip into a Smart Object in order to apply a PS filter, but when I do this, the entire Filters menu is greyed out.
The mp4 clip plays normally in the Timeline otherwise.
Is there something I have to do to make this work?
Cheers
Richard

I tried the same procedure again, but this time the filters were available. Not sure what was different - will repost if I can reproduce original issue.
Thanks
Richard

No Audio In FCPX Timeline, But It's In The Clip Window

I grabbed some video with my iPhone and imported it into FCPX. I'm ready to start editing, so I drag the clip into the timeline -- but there's no audio. Previewing the clip in the Clip window/area pays the audio just fine -- but I get nothing in the Timeline. I see the waveform, I see the meter moving like it should -- but no audio.
What am I doing wrong?

Luis! Hi, it's me again...the person with the conversion issues? Anyway, that has been solved thankfully. My new problem is what has been mentioned in this thread. Audio in Clip Viewer but not when dropped in the Timeline. I attempted the fixes suggested in this thread but I'm using FCP Version 4.0.1 (old, I know) and the steps given aren't the same. The first part of my project has audio in the Timeline...I'm guessing I clicked or unchecked something...I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out. Even pulled out the manual! Let me know if you have any suggestions and thank you in advance!
I have not used older versions in a while, but I guess you may have disconnected the little "a1" from the big "A1" as seen in the image below. Drag to reconnect them. If this is not it, then I can only suggest you ask this in the Final Cut Studio forum (or Final Cut Express forum - I imagine that is what you are using).

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

when i open finder the windown is a completely blank grey box with the title "Window" as a header, and all my folders will not open when c
the problem started when my computer screen broke from something falling on it, the screen was replaced but the people that fixed it for me told me there may be some hard disk issues when a problem like this happens, they ran their own checks and found nothing and i was given my laptop back, then when i tried to use it, i found this problem. everything else works fine.
i have shutdown and re-started my computer multiple times and i have also re-started finder multiple times, both having no effect
i have also done a few other things to find that my apple.com.finder.plist and apple.com.sidebar.plist are both missing, and are not re-creating themselves, i have found no way to bring them back either.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

IPhoto won't open, gives me an error message and the icon is greyed out on the dock

My iPhoto icon is greyed out on the dock and wont open. When I click on it it says it may be damaged or incomplete. Went to All Images and the photos are still in there. Went to aplications and the iphoto icon looks normal. Clicked on it and got the following error message. "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" There is a quit button with the message, but nothing to allow me to create a new photo library. So neither my wife nor myself have tried to upgrade iphoto. Not sure how it got a newer version. It was working fine a few weeks ago. Anybody have any ideas how to fix or restore the icon and iPhoto without losing pictures?

Hmm.
Rather than assume the account is "kinda" damaged, I would instead work on the basis that something in the account is damaged, and - as iPhoto is working correctly in the other account - that something is specific to this account.
So: Check on things that are specific to the account:
The Libraru
The plist files
The Cache files
are obvious approaches.
In the case you describe an awful lot of the time the issue is with the Library. This simple test will tell you if it is:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
If you can make a new Library and get it to work, then the issue has to be with the old library.
In that case:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Since installing Mountain Lion, Time Machine says says that my Free Agent Goflex (Seagate) external 2gb drive cannot be used as it is read only. I tried disc utility to repair permissions but that block is greyed out. The disc verifies as being OKI What next?

Ok, I solved this problem! I ejected the drive and then disconnected it both from the power supply and the USB connector. I then reconnected everything and powered it up again and Then went into TM preferences and chose the drive as the backup. TM did a new backup (well over an hour) and now works as advertised.

I recently tried to erase a seas gate expansion external harddrive and when i did all that shows up in disk utility now is something called expansion and all my opitions are greyed out in the partation tab, it doesnt mount and idk what to do please help,

I would try it on a PC and see if you can format it, then put it back on the Mac and try again. If it's not seen on a PC, then there's the strong likelihood that there's a hardware issue; either the bridge/chip set or the HD itself is dying/dead. There's also the small possibility that the cable is faulty, so I'd try a different cable too.

My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
Thanks for your input!

After updating from CC to new 2014 updates Lightroom would not go from 'Library' to 'Develop' - develop screen was greyed out showing the message 'Develop module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the Develop module.' Since my membership is fully up to date. I then uninstalled Lightroom 5 and then installed it again. Now when I try to open Lightroom 5 its LOGO flashes onto the screen and then 'crashes' in an instant. Please fix.

My internal hard drive wont show on the desktop and is greyed out in the finder

My Internal drive will not show up on the desktop, and appears greyed out in the finder.
it shows up fine in disk utility and i have tried to repair permissions. This runs normally, there does not seem to be any problems with the drive itself.
if i unhide the hidden system folders using terminal, it appears on my desktop again, but greyed out.
any ideas how i can fix this?

Try deleting the Finder .plists. You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist(s) to your desktop.
Relaunch Finder and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the Finder is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
If that doesn't work, try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
