Homesharing Import button grayed out.

I recently bought a MacBook Air and I have an iMac. Both have Homesharing turned on and I can see my iMac's iTunes library on my Air. But the Import button is grayed out and won't let me click on it when I try to import playlists to my Mac Air.
Can anyone help me?

Yes you can. Importing files is the main point of Home Sharing.
Home Sharing allows copying files between all connected computers.
I think that's a safety feature to keep the shared library from becoming corrupted if files are added by a comp that's later disconnected, and then the files can't be accessed, because it's no longer on the network.
If the computer is no longer on the network, that computer's shared library will not show up
Once the files are imported, they no longer need to be accessed on the original computer.

  • FDM Import button grayed out for ONLY 1 period

    Hello experts,
    I want to import a text file to HFM via FDM. I chose the current POV (period, location,..) and go to the upload tab. What's a suprise, my import button is gray and i can not import my text file. I tried to change to other Period (previous and next period) and my button work well.
    Why does problem happen only this period and not others ? have i missed something ? Have you already had this issues ?
    Thank you in advance for help.
    Regards

    Problem solved : there is a mistake in my period description (in "Control tables" section) ==> system does not recognize the period so it doesnt allow the import data.

  • Import Tab grayed out in Aperture 3.1

    Hi folks, need some help:
    When I try to import a .jpg from SDHC or HDD into an existing project in my library, the import tab will gray out and is no more selectable. It is no more possible to switch to the library or to chose another button in the toolbar. I need to close the application and open again to work with.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Import photos from SDHC-Card with integrated Card Reader or from HDD in a already existing Project, add some metadata-settings during import. Repeat the step several times and always import in a existing project and the the import-tab will gray out. So it is no more possible to move over the library.
    I have tried:
    - Repair permissions
    - Aperture 3: Basic Troubleshooting
    I am using:
    - Mac OS X 10.6.4, current updates
    - Aperture 3.1 clean install
    - Latest Pro-Kit-Updates
    Are there other people having the same GUI-bug like I do? Or is there maybe a solution? I am looking forward to your answers.
    Sincerely'
    Immo

    Hi Folks
    @spikeyjonze: A new local user account has no impact on this issue, it is still present. This steps also belongs to the Aperture 3: Basic Troubleshooting
    @Adrian Wackernah: I also have the same issues, but this issue ain't so big for me. My current issue with a grayed out import tab seems to be much worse. But thanks a lot for your answer.
    @Gary: I also work with shortcut cmd-i to enter or leave the import-window. But I have never tried with <esc>-key to leave to import-window, if the import tab grays out. I will give it a try when I reproduce the bug again.
    I also have opened a case at Apple Care Pro Apps Support Europe. I have send them the System Profiler and a screen-recording of the issue. So I need to wait until Apple has done their troubleshooting and analysis.
    Thanks for your answers. If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to contact me.
    Sincerely'

  • Address Book "Edit" button grayed out...unable to edit

    Had to edit a contact's info and was surprised to find the Edit button grayed out, not allowing me to click it. Repairing permissions has not helped.

    V.K., thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, before I got to try it, I re-launched Address Book one more time and found it will no longer launch. Its Dock icon just keeps bouncing. Not only that, but I've also found that iCal and Mail will no longer launch, either. The iCal calendar pane and the Mail main window open, but the beach ball spins forever. I've never seen this before. Any ideas?
    I tried a different account on the same computer. No problems there.

  • Artwork Button Grayed-Out

    I have some MP3s of an unknown sample rate and different bit depths. I would like to add artwork to these files, but iTunes has the artwork button grayed-out. I can convert the MP3s to AAC, but the quality will suffer, and I don't have the original uncompressed audio to start with.
    Is there a solution to this?
    Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad Xeon   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   3 GB RAM

    If you do a Get Info on the MP3 in iTunes and select the Artwork tab can you add there?
    If you Ctrl Click the track in iTunes and Show in Finder then do another Get Info are the permissions set correctly?

  • Join Button Grayed Out

    My iPad connects with no problem at home on my Time Capsule and Airport Extreme Routers. At my office, I can't even find out if it will connect or not, because when I select the network to join it, as soon as I type in a password, the JOIN button grays out making it impossible to connect. On hold now with Apple for 20 minutes and they are scratching their heads. Not a good sign for a device I am otherwise crazy about. Anyone else got this issue? For what its worth, its a Linksys Router at the office.

    Oh heck, nevermind. Turns out I was entering the wrong password. DOH! Nothing to see here, move along.

  • Data source active/inactive button grayed out in LBWE

    Hello,
    When I was activating the Logistics datasource in LBWE, my data source status became red and the Active/Inactive button grayed out? how can I make this data source active again?
    Thanks,
    KK

    Hi Kumar,
    The status will become Red and Active/Inactive is disable due to Extract structure activated but data source is not maintained. This happens once you change the extract structure to Include additional fields. Please do the below step:
    in LBWE, Click on Data source (Technical name of your data source beside maintainance) and you will get maintainance screen, change if you want some thing or else leave as it is and save, Now  the status for data source in LBWE will become yellow and activate/deactivate will enable.
    Regards,
    Kams

  • Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)

    Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)
    The Journal Batch Approval notification goes to one or more approvers but when any approver opens the journal and tries to approve, the approve batch button is greyed out and nobody can approve the Journal batch. The approver has every authority amount and other wise.
    Any idea what might be wrong? Do I need to setup something in Preference pages etc.,?
    Thanks for your help.

    Are you looking at the Workflow Notifications page or GL page. Please give me the navigation used to reach the page. Typically in workflow notification details page, the Response buttons are either displayed or hidden based on whether the notification has a Result Type attached or not. I don't think they are greyed out based on any rule.
    Workflow notifications does not check the approval authority by itself. Ann appropriate workflow notification with right content and result type should be sent based on the approval authority checked in a previous function activity.
    Thanks

  • Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?

    Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out? 
    Bridge 5.0.2.4. 

    There is an ignore EXIF setting Preferences. I can't remember if that is Bridge or Photoshop, but IIRC it is for DNG files.
    Right.  Check Photosho > Preferences > File handling and make sure 'Ignore EXIF tag, is not checked.  I think that might do it, so long as it refers to sidecare files, because only RAW files would have one.

  • Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?

    My users are unable to center text when edited pages in CS3 and CS4. The standard paragraph alignment buttons are grayed out.
    All the users of my site have Admin role, and I have set up the role to allow unrestricted editing. And "Allow Users to Apply Styles"... At screenshot of some of my settings is attached. I don't see why Contribute is not allowing this basic element to work.
    Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I experienced the very same issue, but found an interesting quick-fix that worked for us.
    Several of my webpage content managers reported that they could not change the text alignment in pages created using Dreamweaver nested templates. We use nested editable regions in order to restrict portions of the pages (i.e. banners and navigation menus) from being edited.
    I found that Contribute CS4 could realign text in some parts of the affected pages, but not others.
    Further exam revealed that Contribute could change the alignment on any text that was inside a table on those pages. If I inserted a table and then cut-n-pasted the problem text into the table, the text lost its style/formatting, but it could then have its alignment changed.
    Any text not inside a table could not have the alignment changed by Contribute and changing its style/formatting made no difference.
    One note though: It was interesting that after pasting the text into a table, if I selected a chunk of text, the alignment buttons grayed out again. However, if I simply clicked on the line of text (did not select it), the buttons remained active and the text alignment could be changed.
    I don't know why it is happening. The nested regions were working fine, or so I thought, until recently.
    The above is a quick-fix and got my page content managers back online, but I'm still searching for a long-term solution if anyone has one.
    Good luck...

  • ICloud email won't send (it tries to send and then freezes, send button grayed out)

    I can recieve email just fine. I can draft an email just fine. But it won't send.  When I hit the send button, the email window goes away and a message box appears and disappears so fast I can't read it.  The email window reapears with the "send" button grayed out.  Once this happens, I can't close the email window.  I have to quit mail.  When I open mail back up, the email will still be there and I can close it.  The send button is no longer grayed out, but if I hit send, the same thing happens (i.e., screen flashes and the send button is grayed out).
    I've tried deleting the acouunt and reforming it.  Didn't help.  I checked to see that my outgoing server is "iCloud" and that it send on port 993 and the SSL check box is checked. 
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the exact same problem on one of my Macs but no the other.
    Did you ever get this resolved?

  • Address Book Does Not Link to Faces, Button Grayed Out

    The import face from iPhoto button is grayed out and not active on my computer, is this new Lion feature not working or not yet acitved within Lion?  Here's a description of how the feature was supposed to work (see bold text description).  I can only browse for a photo or use the camera button.
    If you like to match faces with names, the new Address Book can now pull pictures of your contacts from your iPhoto library. Double-click on the picture box on a card, then click on the Import Face From iPhoto button in the lower left corner. You’ll be presented with a grid showing up to eight faces associated with that name in iPhoto—complete with dates those shots were taken—with the current contact photo (if any) in the middle. If you have more than eight photos of a contact, you can use arrows at the bottom of the photo pop-up window to scroll through the others.

    I have the same problem but only with a couple of my contacts.
    matt.sheppard is right about having to have matching names in both applications but I still have a couple of contacts, with matching names, that it won't let me access their "face" in iPhoto.
    Sorry not much help... :-/

  • 'Edit Project' button grayed out for a project
