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!

Importing wav. files into itunes on MAC OSX

I have a question, hope someone has the answer.
I am a new mac owner, new ipod owner too.
I currently have 200-300 gigabytes of SHN and FLAC files on my PC (mostly grateful dead soundboard recordings).
I am planning on converting these files to WAV. format with "artist", "album" (show date), and "song" ID tags.
I then plan on copying these WAV. files to my imac or separate external hard drive formatted for MAC OSX.
OK THE QUESTION (finally, no?),
When WAV. files are imported into itunes are they automatically converted to the MP4 AAC format?
I have looked in the itune PREFERENCES menu I go to ADVANCED and see that there is a control for switching file formats for importing CD'S but there is no mention of importing WAV. files.
On another note it is too bad that Apple has not come up with a file conversion utility for itunes, where FLAC, SHN, and WAV. files could be converted to MP4AAC, Apple Losless, etc...
I appreciate any answers to my question, and also comments regarding the general subject of audio file conversion on the MAC OSX.
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly, I must point out that WAV doesn't support tagging, so there is no point in converting your compressed FLAC and SHN files to WAV before making the move over to a Mac.
Rather, it would make more sense to use the free and excellent Max to convert all these files automatically to the format of your choice, such as Apple Lossless. You can even run multiple conversions simultaneously, so you could, say, convert your whole lot of files to Apple Lossless while at the same time convert the same lot to AAC for use on your iPod. The program is highly configurable, allowing you to specify destination directories and whether or not the output files are added directly to your iTunes library. Also, the tagging will be preserved when converting FLAC and SHN files to supported formats.

How to make a image file from Pre installed Mac osx ? "PLEASE HELP :("?

hey guys ..Thanks u for the time.
So i have this eMac which has crashed and i have got may hands on another eMac.. and it works
... the only problem is.. I can take my eMac to the working eMac to do Target Mode or any thing...
So Help me..
My question is .. Is there a way to make a .DMG image file from pre installed mac osx OR
Is there a way to may a recovery disc??

You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy everything from the working eMac onto the non-working eMac while the working eMac is running. If your eMac will still do target mode into the working one, you can download the above software, select the booted drive as the source drive, and your eMac's drive as the target, however it is possible this will not work.
When you say your eMac crashed, what exactly happened? It is possible that the hard drive in your eMac failed or is failing, so in order to get it running again you would need to replace the hard drive. On the eMac, this repair is somewhat involved, and you have to be very careful because it exposes the CRT, which has several areas which can be extremely dangerous to touch if not properly handled. CRTs retain a great deal of voltage, even when unplugged, sometimes for weeks, and they can give you a nasty shock if you touch them in the wrong place.
Also keep in mind that cloning from the working computer to the non-working computer will ERASE any data that you have stored on that eMac, so if you don't have it backed up anywhere, you may want to attempt that with target mode before proceeding.
Good luck!

In iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8

in iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8.
Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

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.

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? ....

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.

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.

Corrupted 80% file Illustrator CS3 with MAC OSX 10.5.4

I dont succeed to open the greater part of our file CS2 and CS3 saved in local or in network.
this is the error message:
"impossible to read the file because plug-in it has not been able to interpret these file".
original its in IT lenguage :"Impossibile leggere il file perché il plug-in non ha potuto interpretare questo file"
i use Mac OSX 10.5.4 illustrator release 13.0.1 for manage font, Linotype FontExplorer X last release. its very hark to work in this situation :s...

#1) Update to Illustrator 13.0.2
#2) It's always been Adobe's stance that you should
never save and open files across a network because corruption can happen. Work locally, then copy to the server.

FB 4.7 Greyed out menus / Mac OS X 10.9 preview 6

Hey everyone, has any one ever seen this before?
All toolbar menus are greyed out no matter what is in focus in the main application window. Any ideas?

I think it's a mixture of both, but getting Apple to do something about it will take a lot longer than Adobe. My guess is that if all these small issues (like browsing for a file and making sure the file URL is in the browse box, which primariy is all OS related) are not fixed before the launch of Mavericks. The Flash Builder team will address the issues, whether this be by contacting Apple internally or physically provide updates for the software.
Either way it won't be in the first 6 months of Mavericks release. This is why most developers who do not rely on new SDK features do not update any OS before the release of it's .1, so in this case 10.9.1.
As for your personal case, I think you're going to benefit from rolling back sooner than later. I didn't want to but it became a no brainer after this menu problem, however the only features I miss are the seperate dual screens functionality.
Let me guess, you also have some issues with other software? Google chrome stops scrolling with the magic mouse / magic trackpag sometimes? It's all BS.

File encoding issues with Mac OSX?

I really love DreamWeaver and I think its the best editor our there, except for one thing - the file encoding!
I tried setting the default encoding to UTF-8 under Preferences -> New Document, but that won't cut it.
Dreamweaver always creates/saves new files as Western/ISO format, so I always have to open them up with another text editor and overwrite the file with UTF-8 format.
Is there a fix to this or a extension to download?
I'm using CS4 on Mac OSX Leopard.

CS4 should automatically save files as UTF-8. It's the default setting. You shouldn't need to do anything special.
One thing you could try is removing the Prefs file. On a Mac, it's located at <username>:Library:Preferences:Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 Prefs.

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?
Thanks all,

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

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!
