Has anyone experience a problem with not being able to add a drumbeat loop to a prerecorded project? When I open the loop browser, there are only a few options available. The rest are greyed out. I can only choose individual drum sounds, not full beats

I have created a project and recorded 2 tracks, one with a guitar and the other vocals. I would like to add a drum loop, but when I pull up the loop browser, all of the normal selections aren't available. Some are greyed out, including "Beats". "All Drums" is available, but when I click on it it pulls up some cymbal sounds only. I've opened some old recordings in GB to see if this is a consistent issue, but it's not. Only this one project won't allow me to use drum loops. Which leads me to believe there is something I have selected or not selected within the project that's not allowing me to see all the loops. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

How do I purchase additional loops for GarageBand that are greyed out?

Just purchased a Macbook Pro with Retina Display. When I launch Garageband, many of the loops are greyed out as are many of the instruments.
Where do I go to purchase the upgrades to get all of the instruments and all of the loops?

I’m aware of two ways:
Option 1: Go to any Verizon store and purchase a data plan.
Option 2: The $15 $60 $90 refill card from Wal-Mart
Walmart No.: 550562111
Model No.: VERIZONBB 17735
(Best Buy and Radio Shack sell the device and may have the card)
1) Purchase a data plan using the refill card at Wal-Mart
2) Add the card to your account by calling the number on back
3) Activate the card by calling back and speaking to an agent (this gets you online)
4) Tell the agent to setup your online account and email your account password
5) Go to Verizonwireless.com/account and complete the online account setup
When your data plan runs out, “Verizon QuickAccess” comes up. Once your account setup is complete you can add refill cards and purchase and activate data plans through quickaccess.com without calling Verizon.

Some of my loops are greyed out... is there something wrong?

In my loop browser some but not all of my loops are greyed out and can't be played. For instance, slide guitar, celeste, vocals and horns. Should these be normally accessible and if so what could be wrong with mine. How can I fix this?

Thank you. I thought there was something wrong with my Garageband installation but now I know that if I want these I have to buy the Jam packs. Last time I looked at a Jam Pack box it didn't list the detailed contents (loops) though.

Apple loops are greyed out

okay first off, if you try to give me a link to other FAQs it will not help as i have searched them already, only to find that they have helped me not in the least...
here is my problem
1. i make a new project 2. i go to the show loops in browser 3. when i go to the browser where the loops are they are there but greyed out 4. when i try to click on them it says "The Software instrument or Apple Loop selected is not currenlty installed on your computer. Would you like to install the complete set of GarageBand instruments and loops?" 5. i click yes to download now 6. it check for updates and then says your software is up to date 7. i try again and still the loops are greyed out.
at this point i am extremely mad and decided to look online for help
i followed some FAQs and decided to locate my loops folder which low and behold
EXISTS!! i decide to play the loops in quicktime and turns out they are working fine all 501 of them.
So why the DARN doesnt garageband recognize that these loops are installed and on mymac?
Please help

no man!! did you even read my post i said dont give me links!!!
i have been to that site and nothing in there helped me
unless i just dont know where to look, if so then do tell me...
although i am starting to believe you are a bot
which would be very lame

SSRS Parameter Drop downs are greyed out after changes to SSAS cube

Hi
I am facing a weird problem. I have 3 SSRS reports that are based on an SSAS cube. Few days back I deployed some changes to cube and everything works ok on dev environment. When I deployed the same changes to production, SSRS reports don't work. I don’t
get any error or anything when I click open the report but all the parameter boxes are greyed out. If I restore SSAS database from dev to production then SSRS reports work fine and I can select parameter drop downs. What could possibly wrong here. I have no
idea to what to troubleshoot here.
Thanks
Nik

Hi Nik,
Are you using render the report from a report snapshot? In contrast with reports that run on demand, it is not possible to specify a different parameter value for a report snapshot when the report is open. So the parameter textbox is grayed out. If the users
want to view the report with different parameter, we can select “Always run this report with the most recent data” option in “Processing Options properties” page.
Besides, if the issue is not in this scenario, we can try to edit the report with Report Builder to check whether the report is ok. Such as delete the parameters, then recreate them to check again.
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

TS1424 When I ave network coverage, my wi if drops out. I am only able to access my music on my phone when I have no network signal, otherwise all songs are greyed out

I can only access my wi if, when I have no network signal. As soon as I move to a better signal area, my wi Di connection drops out.
I have music on my phone, but again, I cannot access this in the gym, when I have a network signal.
I also cannot access some of my apps, as they are greyed out. Please advise

Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to connect an iPod to multiple computers, play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:
Managing content manually on iPod
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Syncing Music to iPod
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Text wrap options are greyed out

Hi,
I am trying to create a "drop cap" by selecting a text box and changing the wrap options in the inspector however, the "object placement" options to wrap the text are greyed out and I can not change them, except for the options below, such as "object causes to wrap" check box and the "text fit" boxes.
Is this a glitch? I have restarted both my program and whole computer, as well as tried it in a new document, and it still is coming up greyed out.
HELP, I have a project due and I need to be able to add in drop caps!
Thanks

All my songs are greyed out on my iPod except for the songs in my itunes library

I have over 10,000 songs on my ipod touch and when I connect to my Macbook Pro and go to itunes it states that there are over 10,000 songs on my ipod, but when I click to play them a little exclamation mark appears before it. (As it does when the source cannot be found.) At the bottom of itunes it still shows a large blue Audio bar stating that I have over 10,000 songs on it somewhere, but I cannot play them. When disconnecting from Itunes the artists and albums are all showing, but as soon as I go into an album all the songs are greyed out. This only just happened yesterday when adding a few extra songs I downloaded to my itunes and dragged and dropped them to my ipod.
Please help me, the data should be on the ipod somewhere, but for some reason I cannot reach it. I do not have a backup, so this is really annoying
Thanks for any help

Try:

I use iphoto 8.1.2 on OSX 10.5.8. some of my events are greyed out, showing no images.

As outlined briefly above quite a few of my events in iphoto have appeared 'greyed out' when ive restored them from the trash. I was trying to back up my iphoto library, with no proper knowledge, and I think this may have caused the problem. I dragged and dropped my original iphoto library into a non time machine external hard drive. I then went back to the original and sent the majority of photos to the iphoto trash (about 12 thousand photos). When I tried to delete them from the iphoto trash it wouldnt allow me to do it - something ive read is quite normal for that amount of photos.
After this i read more about multiple iphoto libraries so decided to restore all these 'deleted' photos back to iphoto so i could sort things properly (im ultimately wanting to have one large iphoto library on my non time machine external hard drive, then have a smaller, more current, iphoto library on my internal hard drive).
When i did this about half of my events were greyed out, and so were the images in the events. although the information assigned to the individual event, such as number of photos and event name were still correct and clearly showing. Why has this happened?
My only thought is that when I tried to delete the photos from my iphoto trash initially this could have messed it up some how. The majority of events that have been affected are my older events, but even some brand new ones are greyed out too.
I would realy apreciate any advis on this, the photos ive lost are very importat to me so im fretting alot.
Thankyou in advance
JAB

I did try that yes, and it had resorted to the same version that was on my internal hard drive. Im not sure if ive done something wrong at some point in the past while trying to sort it all out - the situation suggests I have?
Essentially the two iphoto libraries I have are the same (one version now just has my attempt at restoring the files from iphoto trash, the other version has the photos still in iphoto trash).
Im at a loss knowing where these files have gone/ why i cant access them if the info for those files is still showing?
Thanks for your continued help!

I am unable to merge events running iPhoto '11 - 9.4.2 (710.42) and Mountain Lion, 10.8.2. All options on the events down menu are greyed out and I am therefore unable to merge any events. Is there a solution?

I am unable to merge events as all drop downs in the events selection in the tool bar are greyed out. Is there a solution?

Thank you.
I tried to drag one event into another event but was unable to do so. The event that I tried to move into a second one would only move to another position in the event columnn, but it would not merge into another one.

Inserts are greyed out

All my inserts are greyed out and have a dotted line through them. The plugins have disappeared. I looked in the plugins folder, I am not sure where I am supposed to find them?

When I open my songs, I can see the inserts in the side menu but they are greyed with the line through them. Then when I try to select new inserts, the drop down menu says no plugin
how do I get the inserts back so that my tracks play with effects again?

LT graphics are greyed out and will not load into FCP4.5

Hello All,
We have LT1.2 and FCP4.5 and everytime we create a text graphic in LT we have to render a QT movie or FCP does not see the file when using import file in FCP.
The .ipr files are greyed out and therefore they will not import into FCP.
Thanks for any ideas. I did here one idea about re-installing FCP and LT.
Alex

No. I doubt it has anything to do with sequence settings. That has happened to me on occasion but not for quite a long time. I was able to drag and drop the file into FCP when that happened.
I don't remember it happening since the last update or two.

My purchased films are greyed out

My purchased films are greyed out in iTunes/movies.

The movie “Sideways” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated
thanks

My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please? I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
<Edited by Host>

Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.
