Fit to Stage is grayed out

Hi.
When I insert a picture in Captivate 5 and I try to click on Fit to Stage in the properties inspector, it is grayed out. Any suggestions? I know I can move it myself but I am taking a tutorial that is showing me to click on Fit to Stage so I am just curious to know why mine is grayed out.

Hi there
I believe the Fit to Stage button only becomes available if the image is larger than the stage itself. If you insert an image that is smaller than the stage, it will not enable and maximize the image to fill the stage area if that's what you were hoping to do.
Cheers... Rick

Outline Build-Move Members in Dimension Properties is grayed out

Hi, I'm very new with EIS and created a sample meta outline. Everytime I add a member name below a Dimension in the meta outline, EIS does not allow me to check "Move Members" in the "Duplicate Member Name" area from the Outline Build tab. When I delete the member names just added to the Dimension, the "Move Members" would be available to be checked (not grayed out).
Any help would be great, thank you!

Songs grayed out after iOS 8 update

After updating my iPhone 5s with the iOS 8 update, my playlists and songs are acting crazy! I use playlists to teach fitness classes, and when I open a playlist now, or several songs are grated out and will not play! I've tried to delete the songs and playlists and re-sync with my computer, but nothing helps.

I don't know but I hope someone can answer because the same is happening to me! I bought 2 songs yesterday and can't add them to any playlist and a few songs I already had are grayed out as well.

Motion Tween grayed out

I'm doing a project for class and I'm not terribly savvy with Flash, so please bear with me as I try to give you the information I hope you'll need to help me out. I am using Flash CS5.
I am doing a kinetic typography project. I need letters to move along a path I drew with the pen tool. I drew the path. I have the letter. I converted the letter to a symbol. I created a guide layer and my pen tool path is on it. I click on the layer with the letter and the letter is just off the stage. I have 30 frames created and one initial keyframe in the first frame of the timeline.
When I right-click on the letter, Create Motion Tween is grayed out. When I right click on the layer containing the letter, the Create Motion Tween is grayed out. When I add another keyframe to the end (frame 30 in this case) and try to right-click, it's still grayed out. I've tried clicking on the guide, the letter, recreating the symbol... What am I missing?

You're welcome. One problem with the new tweening (hearsay on my part) is that they are not intuitive to use. With the classic tween it is a straightforward matter of start frame, end frame, and done, and it serves most purposes folks have for timeline-based tweening.
It is possible the approach you took is not the way to go when creating motion paths for the new tweens. Here's a link to a video that demos using the new tween with a motion path. It appears the path is not done the same way you attempted if you have the path on a separate layer...

So it is looking more like the grayed out options were correct.
I would hope that if you showed your instructor the problem you were having you wouldn't get any disfavor shown for your solution, especially if you were taught to do what you were trying to do... and it might even teach your instructor something.

I want to transfer my vault to a new HD. The new has been formatted for Mac. Update Vault path is grayed out, despite doing all the correct steps beforehand

I have followed directions to transfer my vault to a new HD. It is grayed out, despite doing all requisite steps beforehand. If I get 'info' on Aperture the lock icon shows and I cannot change it to unlock.

I think you may be getting confused by the 'Lock'.
The vault is locked in the files system to prevent accidental deletion.
The reason the 'Update Vault Path' is greyed out is because it is still detecting the original vault on your system.
Here's a simpler process.
Restart your system (Aperture may still have a reference to the vault and this will clear it).
Make sure you have copied the vault to the new location.
Move the vault to trash. It will warn you the file is locked. Continue to move it anyway.
Empty your system trash. It will warn you the trash has locked files. Continue to empty anyway.
Now the old vault is gone from your system, in Aperture, the vault will show as disconnected and you can update the vault path:
You can then Navigate to the new location:
And the vault will reconnect and show the available storage of the new drive:
I suspect you are following advice about trying to remove the lock. But this is not necessary, the lock means you'll simply get warnings when deleting (assuming you have permissions to delete), but you can jsut override these warnings. If at any stage you get an error saying the file is in use, just reboot and retry that stage.

Video Languages grayed out

Hi, First I must say I'm sorry if this has already been answered but I haven't been able to find anything that quite fits.
I have copied some DVDs I own using Mactheripper and handbrake and have added two audio tracks to use in iTunes and on my iPad and iPhone. One audio track is English and the other Japanese. When I open the file in Quicktime or VLC the audio tracks show up and are switchable but on my iPad or iPhone there is no way to change the audio track. The little dialog box that should appear doesn't. In iTunes the box is clickable but only the English Audio can be selected. The Japanese is grayed out.
I would be grateful for any help.

Well, in an update to this I was able to burn a movie with multiple audio tracks that show up fine in iTunes but when I copy to my iPad they just show up as Stereo, Stereo, Stereo. In other words the audio tracks are there but there are all labeled the same. Any ideas?

Difficulty sharing screen--grayed out

I set my mother-in-law up with a Mac Mini so that I could troubleshoot problems when she needed help. The ability to share screens via iChat is the main way we want to do this.
But when we were both on iChat, the ability to share her screen was grayed out. Under her video menu, "Screen Sharing Enabled" is grayed out.
Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I can successfully share screens with others.
Is it an issue with the Mac Mini? Is a video camera and microphone required to share screens?

A Camera or Mic is not required to Screen Share although the Screen Sharing in iChat does include an Audio feed.
I have tried turning Off Share Screen option then selecting Microphone Enabled which in fact then Disables it. I can still turn On Screen Sharing again.
There is also a Show Audio (Video) Status (in the View Menu) which turns the Buddy Video and Audio icons Off. But these do not seem to effect things either.
Does she have System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming set at 1.5Mbps ?
She will need to Restart iChat if she has to change.
Having said this, in Leopard if left at Automatic, iChat would be limited to 384k anyway which would be fast enough for Screen Sharing.
At this stage I am at a bit of a loss as to a Fix per se.
I would get her to try a Restart of the computer whilst holding down the Apple Key + ALT PR keys together until she hears three start up Bongs.

'Edit Project' button grayed out for a project

I have been working on a project but it stopped working all of a sudden. The 'Edit Project' button is grayed out and won't let me click on it. The movie doesn't appear in the preview pane either.
More information:
iMovie 11
Using MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard
I have sped up some of the clips
No other effects used
The earlier versions of this project (which are Hi-Vis Vest 1 and Hi-Vis Vest 3 in the screenshot) are editable BUT won't play in the preview pane but will play on full screen mode.
Anyone else have the same issue?

Shape Tween grayed out between 2 vectors

I have two vector graphics I imported to my stage and want to do a shape tween between them. But shape tween is grayed out. The images are imported Illustrator EPS's. Why is this happening?
I attached two screenshots. Thx!

Right now they are grouped, you need to break them apart. cntrl+B.
That is going to give you some funky results though - with the "02" being the same in both keyframes and the black being what is intended to be tweened, just a heads up. You probably will just want to shape tween the black and motion tween the "02"

I have checked in/out process along with this gone through re-executed the whole process same result occurred.
Suggestion/Help needed...
REGARDS DANISH DANIE

Hi Danish,
Its a common thing which users are experiencing.
When you create project from workflow click on Submit it take time for transition before transition it check all the condition which you have set for workflow stage. As per your screenshot it is waiting for details in PDP (Provide details of the proposed project)
when you click on submit it push data into the database,sometimes it send e mails to stakeholder then it use exchange and take times to send e-mails and for transition too.
When you/user face this issue ask them to wait for some time or close the file then reopen.
In the screen workflow is waiting for Project detail information in PDP that is why it is still in process and not going to next stage.

Dual Layer option grayed out in iDVD '08

I have been struggling to get a movie burned for awhile, partly due to learning the software on my new iMac (2.4 GHz 24") and the other part spent learning the size requirement limits for a Dual Layer disc (not sure I have my project trimmed all the way down yet).
I finally have what I think is a finished project, am ready to try to burn it and all of a sudden iDVD will not allow me to select "Dual Layer" as an option in the Project Info dialog (the option is locked on single layer and grayed out). I tried rebooting and that made no difference. The drive is the built-in DL burner.
This is a new problem as I have been able to make this selection in the past. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
-John

Is your project over 60 mins. but under 120 mins.? You'll have to address the project info window like this:
You should have an option available to you under DVD Type to select DL as opposed to SL. If it's grayed out, quit iDvd and and relaunch the app again. You may have to do this more than once (assuming you are using the correct media and that your mac sees the appropriate DL burner).
Plus you must select the appropriate media when burning to DL. I recommend using Verbatim or Maxell while troubleshooting on this forum. Thereafter you can choose whatever works best for you and your mac.
In addition, please read the following from the iDvd08 Getting Started pfd:
Checking the Project Info Window
DVD projects can take up a lot of space on your hard disk, and it’s useful to know when
you need to make more room. In addition, a DVD disc has a maximum capacity. As
you’re working on your project, monitoring its size will ensure that everything fits.
The Project Info window, shown below, provides all this information and more.
To check the size of your project:
m Choose Project > Project Info.
Â The total size of your project, in running time (in minutes) and in size (in megabytes
or gigabytes), shows below the Capacity meter on the far right.
Â The Capacity meter shows how much of your project’s total size is used by each of its
elements. The bands of color indicate what proportion of the project each element
accounts for.
Â The numbers below DVD-ROM, Slideshows, Menus, and Movies specify how much
space (in gigabytes) each uses. When you click these numbers, the display switches
to show the number of these items in your project and how many tracks they use. An
iDVD project can have up to 99 tracks.
DVD-ROM refers to the content you’ve specified to be added to the DVD-ROM
portion of your burned DVD. The running time and size figures that appear below
Menus reflect the total duration of all the menus in the project. You can have a total
of 15 minutes of motion, such as video on buttons or in the background, in all
menus. A project can include up to 99 menus.
In general, the amount of content your iDVD project contains correlates to the quality
of your burned DVD, given the encoding setting you have chosen. The white arrow in
the Capacity meter points to the quality of your burned DVD. Quality is highest on the
green portion of the Quality meter. If you have chosen Best Performance as your
encoding setting, the entire Quality meter may be green.
Hope this helps but if not come on back.

Illustrator CS3 grays out and locks when using Save or Save As

In the past few days everytime I try to save an existing or new file with Save or Save As i see the save dialog box flash and then the whole program locks and grays out. The only way to close is to do a control-alt-delete. This happens for new files and existing files. I tried renaming the preference file so it would create a new one and that didn't work. I have cleaned out the temp files and I have plently of memory and RAM so that is not the issue either. We can't seem to find our CDs to do another install so are there any other ideas someone can give? this is also happening with my Photoshop CS3 and my InDesign CS3. I think it may have something to do with a microsoft update... thats the only thing that has changed on my PC in the last week. Oh and i also did a virus scan, nothing. thanks

The video card is opening the Save dialog offscreen, outside the visible desktop area.
Select Alt+ Spacebar, choose move and then use the arrow keys to move the dialog box back on screen and resize it so it fits and opens in the correct position.

Property panel is grayed out

I am in the early stages of learning DW CS5. I'm learning how to create a new CSS rule/class.
But after I've set up my new rule/class in the CSS Panel, I go to the Property Panel to enable the new rule,
but it is grayed out. It is inactive. I can't do anything with it.
Does anyone know why this is and how to fix?
thanks!!
Edit: Never mind! I was in Live View!

Try hitting the Escape key. If this works there was a modal dialog open off screen.

HT1386 my ipad is not syncing my music correctly from my itunes account via my laptop. The music does not appear, although it shows when you look into summary as grayed out .

I carried out a recent software update and there after that my itunes music would not sync in the normal way. My music only shows on my ipad when connected and in music summary and this is shown as grayed out with a broken circle icon beside any new music which has been inported to my itunes account via my laptop. In the past when i connected my ipad to my laptop to sync it would ask if i wanted to transfer from ipad or not. This does not happen now at it goes straight into sync mode.

Hi,
This sounds so frustrating. If any processing of sound, e.g. through Logic, through Wiretap, or you might try Garageband (which I assume you have tucked away somewhere), produces the problem, then its hard to blame the software of the individual program. This leaves OSX and/or Coreaudio, or a hardware problem. Sorry if you've already reached this stage. This would mean a reinstall of OSX (or an upgrade, if you're thinking of it), or addressing the hardware issue. I know I had some very bizarre things (and repetitive) happen to me with faulty memory, or memory that just wasn't seated properly in its slot. You could start out by running the hardware test and go from there.
Good Luck,
Ray

Why are all menu items grayed out?

I just opened iWeb 6 for the first time and all my menu items are grayed out except for a few things like Page Setup. Why is this happening? I looked in the Help and Getting Started but couldn't find anything that seemed to fit. I don't have an .mac account as I have web space on campus to use. Does that matter?
Thanks.
Anne
