"Copy Selected Albums" Option Grayed Out for Synchronizing Photos--Help!!

I purchased a 60GB Video iPod a week ago. I cannot get it to sync my photos. When I select "Synchronize photos from iPhoto," the option to "Copy all photos and albums" is selected and the option to "Copy Selected Albums" is grayed out. If I try to sync all the albums, I get an Error -50. I can, however, copy & sync photos by selecting my Pictures folder (either all folders or selected folders). But, that won't give me my photos organized by album in iPhoto.
I rebuilt the iPhoto database and deleted/trashed preferences. No help. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Apple has been no help and I have searched and searched these forums over many days, with no success.

I had this problem after I imported a bunch of photos. I narrowed it down and found that two of my pictures had the word "photo" in the filename, example(photo003.jpg and photo004.jpg). I deleted these files and the "copy selected ablums" was available again.
Hope this helps!!

"Move" option grayed out for Import to Aperture Library?

I tried to import photos from an external hard drive and "Store Files in the Aperture Library," but the options to Move or Copy the photos were grayed out and unavailable. If I chose to import to the Pictures folder, the options were available. But both "in the Aperture Library" and "in their Current Location" (which makes sense) were unavailable.
Any idea why? The manual is no help.

I think you will find that the only place you are meant to have the option of "Move" vs "Copy" is in the import to either "Pictures" or "Choose" options. Reading through the manual the only time these teo options are mentioned is when discussing these two import to location choices. The default for "In the Aperture Library" is that they are copied. This is handy in that you have a copy of the files that you are able to backup/archive refer to if something goes awry during the import process, yes it can happen.

VCal option grayed out for exporting

I am new to this palm thing and I have an E2. Last week when I set it up I was able to export my palm calendar as a vCal file and now that option isn't avail. I can't seem to export my palm calendar to my Microsoft Works calendar. I can export from my Microsoft Works calendar as a vCal though.
What can I do?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Yes, there is a flag that can be set in a file so that it is saved as un-editable. In this state, you can't export, copy, save or in any other way alter the movie using QuickTime Pro.

Export option grayed out for some "unknown" reason.

I have several clips I've downloaded from the net (mostly music videos), and some of them I can export into any type of file I like (such as iPod video), but some of them I can't export at all. Is there some kind of copyright protection embedded into these files? Is that even possible using Quicktime?

Set default account option is grayed out for my main account

My original main email account used to be the top of the drop-down list (thus default) for creating new mail. Since I added a few gmail accounts, one of them appears first under Inbox and is now the top of the drop-down list. I can't figure out how to get my old primary account back as the default. In the account settings, it says that my desired default account is " a special account and has no identities associated with it". In the Tools-Account Settings menu, the "set as default" option is grayed out for this account. What does "special" mean and how can I return this account to being my default "from"?

In which case you are using what is normally called Local Folders which is a special private pseudo-account for offline storage.
Somewhere there will be an actual email account, though if it is using POP and has been set to use the Global Inbox, it may be hard to see.
Set '''View|Folders|All''' and see it if can be found. If not, you'll need to go to '''Tools|Account Settings''' and look at its properties there.
I guess at some point you have changed "Local Folders" to something else, which is going to make giving you advice difficult, and will make following any advice more difficult for you.

Paste as Background option grayed out

I'm using Captivate1. When I edit a slide, I select Copy
Background, edit it in Paint, copy it from Paint and try to Paste
as Background into Captivate. The Paste as Background option is
grayed out. It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes I have to
close the project and reopen it and the option is working. This
time it doesn't work. There's nothing in online help about this so
I hope someone in the forum might shed some light on this.
Thanks.

I started tracking what I was doing before the graying out
occurred. It seems like if I copy and tweak (in Paint) more than 8
or so backgrounds in a row, then the Paste as Background option
grays out. It's like the system is tired of me copy and pasting
back into Captivate. When I shut everything down and reopen it,
then the paste memory clears and the option is available. Now by
all means, this is not a technical explanation for what happens,
but it's just what I'm observing.
And yes, I'm patiently waiting for the powers that be to
approve my upgrade to Cap2.
Thx

Photo problems using "copy selected albums only"

No one seems to be able to help me at Apple to figure out why if I have PhotoShop Album 2.0 that I can't get the IPod to let me have the choice of "copy selected albums only". The only choice it allows is to copy all photos and I don't want to do that. Would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

I am not sure what you mean by "set up". It is on the computer I am using with my Ipod and really don't know how the Ipod and it connect/talk to each other. Thanks for at least asking/responding to my question. I have figured out how to get photos from a folder but really would have liked to have used the album feature as they are all organized and I have to mess with them to get them to come out in the folder. Thanks for your time. Nancy

Why is the email option grayed out from iphoto sharing

I am running iPhoto 9.5.1 on Mavericks. When I select a photo and try to share it the share menu has email and all the social meida options grayed out. Checking accounts in iPhoto my email accounts are there. I tried deleting and reinserting the one I want to use and restarting iPhoto, but it is still grayed out.

You need to update yoru profile - it says OS X 10.6.8
In the iPhoto preferences select an email client (I personally prefer Mail) and if you are using iphoto enter your email information in teh accounts tab (If you use Mail it will use yuro existing sset up)
Same for social media - enter your account information in the accounts tab

ITunes, Sync Contacts, Selected groups is grayed out.

iTunes, Sync Contacts, Selected groups is grayed out. I have a number of groups in my Contacts for different mobile phones. After updating iTunes and the OS I can not click on Selected groups. Does anyone know how to make this available?

Best I’ve been able to figure out via trying and searching:
It appears only groups in a cloud service can be selected, so if one doesn’t have iCloud groups or groups on some other supported cloud service, the option is grayed out.
Big Brother wants it all.
Fortunately I don’t need many contacts on my iOS device since I use it little.
But it’s still annoying to be locked out ’cause me try to avoid Big Brother much as possible.
What a world!

Scripe error ? option grayed out

I
I When I go to edit my page an alert pops up ... an error has occured in the scripe on this page . What does this mean and what is it doing to the program or preventing me from doing ?
I have a lot of options grayed out and not able to use when editing or making new pages? << highlight color, change text color, change size, change fonts. >> resizing images, page properties 5 out of 7 options grayed, etc. ... I checked under Administrators and all there looks okay and I am the only one using the program. I have gone to the Administrator Settings, then styles/fonts/size and all check for my use.
OOnly on two of my main pages are all of the options available to use on either a New or Edit page but none are available on the other tabbed pages of my website. Even if I cut and paste a document the color, size and font changes to what is on the page.

Don't make a text selection, but simply put your text cursor in the text with the new formats. Most likely, you have a mix of character formats selected.

Sip dialer port export option grayed out in configuration manager ucce 10

Hi,
I am configuring the outbound option for ucce 10, when i configure the sip dialer port (dialer conifguration) in conifiguration manager, i just added 5 ports, i can see this ports showing in dialer process on the PG, but i need to export this ports to Unified communication manager, i could not able to export it because this option grayed out (i did select all, or individual selection both are having export option grayed out)
Any idea?
with Regards,
Manivannan

Exporting port configuration is only allowed for SCCP, in SIP Dialer Deployment its actually not needed and that why its grayed out.
//but i need to export this ports to Unified communication manager//
in Sip Dialer you don't need to create any Port For Dialer under CUCM. its only required in SCCP.
Sip Dialer port Directly registers with VG.
regards

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. Help!

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. These extra pages resulted from using Autoflow and now we can't seem to get rid of them. Help!

Good morning Old Toad.
I did as you suggested:
1) Booted from install CD.
2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
So there's no change in my status.
I'm trying to delete the files because:
A) They already take .5 Gb.
B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.
