LR3 not letting me select PNG Watermark
I created a PNG watermark in Elements 9 but when I try to import it into LR it's grayed out and therefor not selectable in the file selection window... I've spent the last 2 hours reading for a fix but haven't found a single link addressing this sort of problem.
Does anyone have an idea of what I could have possibly missed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It’s unclear from your description if there is something wrong with the PNG or something wrong with how LR is allowing you to select files for watermarks.
You might try the same thing with a JPG just to see if that works or not. You don’t want to use a JPG in your final version, but just for a test.
You might also upload your problem PNG to a website and post a link to it or if it is small enough attach it to a forum-message, here, perhaps making a test version that doesn’t have anything important in it, for others to try to see if it also doesn’t work for them and to examine the properties of the PNG to make sure it seems ok. Apparently the PNG needs to be 8-bits and can have transparency.
Here is an online tutorial about how to make one and use it using PS, in case there is some step that isn’t quite right:

My iMessage is only allowing me to select messages to be sent and received from my email. If my number is an option, but it will not let me select my number, how do I get the iMessages to be sent to my number and not my email?
Try ejecting your iphone from iTunes and then close iTunes. Now retry. Hope this helps.

hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?
Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.

when i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add three security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.
Thanks Liam. After the second ap download it asked me three security questions on iTunes and on my MAC it allowed me to set up these with no error on the third question. iPAD 3 now downloads apps fine.
Apple really need to sort out this issue or provide guidance on this. Two days of the unit not really being fit for purpose - what use is an IPAD without the ability to download aps.
Also NO Response from Apple via online tech support and it's now been nearly 24 hours - I was told by telephone support I would get a response within 24 hours or less, as also stated in the email response too!??
It would be good to get a formal response from Apple on this rather than radio silence. -
Hi i am currently editing clips in premiere pro cc but everytime i go to change the speed not the duration of a clip it will not let me select it - also when i go to effect controls it will not let me select time mapping? please help

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
Please review the following that I excerpted from an older post here regarding Adobe's PRE_help comments about Hollywood Effect and mention of
Red Noir. Does any of the following apply to any of what is happening to you.
- Whenever I try to add an effect from the Hollywood Looks menu, it brings up a warning that all my previous effects on that clip will be deleted. However it will let me add those same effects *after* applying Hollywood Looks.
This is because of how the Hollywood Looks are designed to be used. Since these are effect presets (multiple effects in combination) that result in a specific "look"; they are best applied in isolation. If any previous effect is applied and we still allow a Hollywood effect to be applied, we will not be able to see what the effect does clearly. For e.g. if you already have a Gaussian Blur effect applied to your clip, and then we allow you to apply the "Red Noir" Hollywood effect, the fact that the "Reds" in the scenes will be highlighted and the others converted to B/W will not be clearly seen since the content is already blurred out. So any previously applied effects was designed to be removed. This holds good even if you apply a Hollywood look "on top of" another one. The previous one will be replaced. Having said that, you can customize the look further by either tweaking an already applied filter or by adding a newer effect on top. That is the reason you can apply an effect on top of the Hollywood Effects and not vice versa.
Please review and consider and then we can proceed from there if necessary.

I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad. Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos. Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded. It will not let me select Selected folders. How can I transfer additional photos without losing what I already trasnferred?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

When I now use the cmd-tab shortcut to go to a different open application it madly scrolls through all the open applications and does not let me select one. Any ideas as to what might be wrong. It doesn't appear to be a sticking key?
Problem with the cmd-tab keyboard shortcut now cured with the latest software update, so the original problem must have been a software glitch.

Weird issue. Captivate 6 not letting me select a script for an Advanced Action
Hi, So i'm facing this really weird issue on a captivate 6 project that i built. I need to add an Advance Action on a slide Exit action. This was previously set as "Continue" and now I want to set this to "Execute Advanced Action" (an Advanced Action script that I just wrote). The thing is that when I change the On Exit property to "Execute Advanced Actions", I am not able to select a script from the "Script" dropdown. I've tried everything from:
changing machines and doing this on different computers with Captivate 6
Making copies of the file and trying those
Closing Captivate and Restarting my computer
Ensuring that the slides are not locked
but can't seem to figure this out. Also funnily, if I try to set the On Exit property of let's say slide 67 as "Execute Advanced Actions" (when it was previously just "Continue"), all other slides are also changing to this, meaning the On Exit property for all other slides has also been changed from "Continue" to "Execute Advanced Actions".
I've been stuck with this for the last 6 hours and can't figue this out.
Please Help!!!
-SeanIf this is the same file you were having issues with before where we suspected corruption, then I'd have to say this probably confirms it.
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/recover-corrupt-project
Usually the fix is to copy all slides into a new blank shell project of the same size to try and strip out the corruption issue.
See item #4 here:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/basic-troubleshooting-tech niques
However, since you are on a Cp version earlier than 7.0.1, please note that this will also strip out all of your current advanced actions as well (which also might be where the corruption is anyway).
Your issue is actually quite rare. I cannot guarantee you that Cp 7 would never do the same thing, but one advantage of Cp7 is that you can try copying and pasting slides into a new shell project and it WILL bring along the advanced actions and variables as well. So I definitely think it's worth downloading the trial version of Cp7, upgrading with the Cp 7.0.1 patch and giving it a go to see if that fixes your issue.
Alternatively, if you haven't got lots of time-consuming Advanced Actions to recreate, just paste all slides into a new shell project and recreate them. It's probably not going to take that long if it's only one project file. -
I am trying to trim video in IMovie. I mark the selection that I want to keep, but the option "Trim to Selection" is not highlighted and it will not let me choose it.
You can only do this with a Project.
You cannot use this function with an Event.

Iphone will not let me select "don't use icloud"
I downloaded 5.0.1 software to my iphone and am going through the set-up menu. Under "set up icloud" it will not let me progress with set up if I select "don't use icloud". I don't want to use icloud but the "next" button will not function unless I select "use icloud". Even if I selection "use icloud" I cannot get past the "Find My iPhone" screen regardless of which option I choose.
yes yes and yes. but now the movie has completely disappered from my iTunes and from my iPhone. I had 16 days and 19 hours left to watch my movie when I started it, and after I started it I still had 23 hours to complete it. Now it is completely gone.

Mac Mail is not letting me select custom stationary.
I created a stationary in Mail & saved it as such. The stationary is saved under the custom area and consist of mostly text and then some basic graphics at the end of the message (my fance e-mail signature w/a picture). When I select a new message and then expand the stationary section, I go to custom and select my saved stationary (in the preview it looks like what I saved) by double clicking but nothing happens - I have also tried clicking and dragging - copy and paste, etc. The text & graphics do not appear in my new e-mail. I have tried deleting and re-creating the stationary as well as restarting Mail & my computer on multiple occasions but nothing seems to work. All of the other pre-installed stationarys seem to work just fine.
What I am trying to do is set up premade letters that I e-mail to people all the time, I am tired of typing the same e-mail over and over again. I have a dozen or so that I want to type up and save and then just select the appropriate one for my client, type in their name and other minor changes to make it 'customized' to them and click send.....
Any suggestions?
I am using a MBP, Intel Core 2 Duo w/MAC OSx 10.7.3 - Mail is V 5.2 (1257)It is not the png or the jpeg. I am using Mavericks and I did all the steps that LHinson did above and still could not use the stationary I created. And, my message was only text--no images. Does anyone have a solution to this yet? Thanks!
