MobileMe grayed out with slideshow

I have created a couple of slideshows with music that I'd like to publish to my MobileMe account but under Share, the MobileMe button is grayed out.
I am using music that I've gotten off of CDs so it shouldn't be an iTunes DRM issue.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPHoto slideshows are not able to be included in MobileMe sharing since MMe only takes files and an iPhoto slideshow is a combination of photos and music that is created in realtime when you play it.
You can export the slideshow as a QT movie, import back into iPhoto and add that movie to a MMe gallery. That would put the movie online where visitors can play it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Thumbnails  Grayed out with Question over them

    I have several thumbnails that are grayed out with a white question mark over the thumbnail which indicates that it has "lost" the original photo. However, the photo is in the Finder/Pictures and the name has not been changed.
    How do I get iPhoto to "find" the photo?
    Must I re-import it to iPhoto?
    Thanks for your help and suggestions.

    Are you sure it's a "?" instead of an "!" ? In any case try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    Fix #2
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    Fix #3
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • HT4623 I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store.  They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app.  Any suggestions?

    I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store.  They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app.  Any suggestions?

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • More than 50 MB sized applications are grayed out with status of "Waiting/Installing", when we update those apps from WiFi Connection?

    Hi,
    Few application updates are available in iOS App store. However, Those applications are grayed out with status of "Waiting/Installing", when we update those apps from WiFi Connection. It's happening only for more than 50 MB sized applications. Unable to install those application through WiFi, However, it's successfully installed through MacBook Pro iTunes application. Please suggest me, why this happening suddenly.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Suresh Balakrishnan.

    - If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows.  However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software. 
    Re-check your deployment, specially the user experience:
    If you've checked the box next to "Software installation", it will install after the deadline has passed and ignores maintenance windows. Change the deployment to required and uncheck that box and the software should be installed according to your
    maintenance windows.

  • Server connections not consistent. Folders grayed out with warning icon

    For some reason, my mail.app has started showing grayed out folders and accounts with warning icons. Even though I am able to receive/send, mail seems to think the connection is not working.

    I am using port 26 since my ISP blocks port 25, and I've been doing this with no problems for years...now all of a sudden it's become a problem.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I already used keychain first aid, and that didn't seem to change anything.
    My ISP recently went through a server migration which has caused me a lot of problems, which is when this started happening, but they can't seem to solve the issue on their end.
    btw, this is happening on multiple computers (both listed below), and I also access my accounts through iPhone.
    Thanks in advance.

    For each profile, select the Run As account that matches the name of the Run As profile. For example, make the following assignments:
    Assign the Data Warehouse Configuration Synchronization Reader Account to the Data Warehouse Configuration Synchronization Reader Account profile.
    Assign the Data Warehouse Report Deployment Account to the Data Warehouse Report Deployment Account profile.
    Assign the Data Warehouse SQL Server Authentication Account to the Data Warehouse SQL Server Authentication Account profile.

  • Illustrator type grays out with mouse hover

    I updated my CC version of Illustrator today and now when I go to edit type, the type block turns solid gray when the mouse hovers over type with selection tool, direct selection, and type tool. I can't seem to edit the type.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
    Is it a flaw in the upgrade (which, btw, the program now crashes when I open certain documents)? If a flaw, how do I fix it?
    Or is this a new feature that appeared in the upgrade with no instructions on how to use it? If a new feature, can you point me to a tutorial on how to use it?
    This problem seems to occur only with documents I've created in the last week. New documents and documents created several months ago don't get the solid gray problem and I can edit the type normally.
    I use CC on a PC running Win 7. Here is a screen shot of how my document looks with the grayed-out type.
    Also, it now crashes when I open certain documents. (I know that's a separate issue.)
    Many thanks.

    Hi Cabriolet,
    1. Will it be possible for you to provide me a sample test file with the problematic text only? A trimmed version of this document would help me look into it. Just send it to us on [email protected]
    2. Also, as you said you are encountering a crash on opening files then could you please send me the crash log or submit the crash log via Adobe crash reporter mentioning your email id in it so that I can take a look at it at my end.
    Crash log will certainly help, otherwise we can do a connect session to know more about the issue.

  • Volume slider in track info grays out with audio interface

    I'm using a Presonus Inspire interface for mic and guitar. But in new tracks, the volume slider in track info grays out when I plug it in. Prefs recognizes the interface and I set audio in and out on Inspire. Signal comes through the headphones, but no signal in GB because the volume slider in track info is all the way to the left and grayed out.
    Ideas?
    Thanks!

  • MobileMe grayed out when trying to make new album..

    Hi there,
    Seems after the iTunes, iPod, MobileMe update, I haven't been able to subscribe to a MobileMe web gallery through iPhoto. Also, the one web gallery that is still subscribed is not showing up in iTunes when my iPod touch is plugged in. Just curious as to what is going on.. Thanks a lot.

  • HT1338 I have happily been using Airdrop and printing wirelessly to my Epson WF 7520 printer until this morning when I started my Quad Core 2.4 and got the wireless icon grayed out with a "wi-fi not installed" message. Restarts do nothing. Ideas?

    Anyone else having issues with their wi-fi suddenly disappearing?
    Is this really a hardware issue out of the blue or could this be a software bug?
