Motion 5 share menu is grey

Hi, workong in motion 5 on a mac pro  the share menu is grey, working on a mac book pro the share menu can be selected. I compared settings for both computers but did not notice any difference.
What is wrong?

Are you logged in to the App Store/iTunes on that Mac?
Also get "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion (dot com) and trash Motion's preference files.

  • Same issue. Share Menu is Grey.

    I have shared other projects from iMovie 09' but every once in a while, there is an iMovie that will not share. It is not in the events menu but the share menu, so thats not the issue. I have edited the movie the same way I have edited other movies that I have successfully exported. For some reason, THE OPTIONS ARE ALL GREY. I even went into "disk Utility and repaired permissions thinking that might solve it. I have re-created the movie again and had the problem. I have shut down the machine and the application and the Share problem remains. HELP!

    I had same problem too. Everything is fine but for one project. Share menu completely greyed-out. Very annoying. Followed suggestion by someone else here on the forum to rename the project in the project library (just change one or two characters and hit enter) and it worked. Obviously a bug. Apple, please fix this!

  • I want to share my project but the share menu is grey

    I am using FCPX and have made a sequence and now want to share my project but the share menu is grey. I have used it a month ago and shared on line and made a dvd but now it is only grey.

    Trash the application and reinstall. Most likely you have a software conflict. Most likely MacKeeper.

  • Motion 5 Share/Export Buttons Greyed out

    Hi, just got Motion 5 on it's own for a project we're doing in FCP7 and for some reason all the "next" or "share" buttons in the export menus are greyed out or disabled. We've messed with a lot of settings but to no avail.
    Is there something I'm missing here? There's nothing written on the Motion product page about requiring Compressor or FCP-X to export and I haven't found anyone else online with this issue.

    So there's nothing I can do to get this fundamental part of the software working? It's pretty stupid if it can't save.
    The only option I have to take this higher is to get Apple Care video and that's $800 for something that appears to be a bug in Motion validating an external framework. From a software design perspective, the only reason that I'd want to grey those buttons is if there were a setting in each dialog that you needed to set before you could export or you were only using a trial version and you wanted to stop people from exporting it or if the dependent framework (e.g. ProApps export manager) wasn't validated in the registry within motion.
    If they throw anything else at me like you need FCPX or Compressor or Lion then that's not right either since they had no mention of that on their website when I purchased it.
    This is just really frustrating!

  • Photo casting not in share menue

    I purchased and installed Ilife 06 . I have tried to use the photocasting but it is not showing on my share menue when I select aan album to share. I have installed 6.04 iphoto. Visited the mac store today and they said all I needed to do was to set my info in system preferences.. Did that and still don't have any menu showing photocast... What shoud I do??? Thanks,
    HKIII

    i'm having the same problem. Its not that there is no recongition of a album for a photocast. There is not an option when you go to the share menue. Your only choices are iweb and .mac slides. There isn't a photocast choice not even an greyed out apperance. i went to talk to the mac person at one of the stores and he pulled up iphoto and showed me where to go,he went to the shear menue in iphoto and the photocast choice was there but it was greyed out. so he told me to check the softwear version. but the only difference i saw is their version was 6.02. does any body have any insight.

  • I have five projects in my Final Pro X Project Library. Four can be exported via the "Share" menu, one cannot.

    For this one project, the "Share" menu can be twirled open, but none of the choices on the menu are active..they are greyed out. I don't understand what the difference is between this project, and the other projects that would cause this. I am noticing that this particular project is configured as 1080p HD, and the others are standard def. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    With further inspection, thanks for your guidance, it turned out that the timeline contained media linked directly off off the SD card. After ejecting the SD card, redness showed up. We will be in good shape going forward. Now I need to figure out how to re-link what's in the timeline to a local copy of the file on the hard drive. But, you solved our issue. Thank you!

  • All share options are greyed out

    I downloaded a movie into Movie '08 from a USB memory stick. The movie is in MPEG 4 format and I had made the movie on another computer using the Studio program.
    I can play the movie on the computer, but all the share options are grayed out. I would like to export this to my camcorder.
    Any suggestions?

    Start a project. Move the clips you want to use into the project. Now the Share menu will work.
    See the Video Tutorials for more details.

    I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens.  I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

    Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my  Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

  • How can I remove recent contacts from my Mac's 'Share Menu'?

    I have a MacBook Pro and I noticed that when I want to share something it only shows me the recent messages of one person to share with. I don't talk to said person as often as any other so I'd like to know how to remove it from my share menu. Thanks!

    Is the iPod signed into the same account that purchased the music?
    Is the computer still authorized for the account?

  • IMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

    iMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

    Share your movie to the Media Browser. Then, in iDVD, drag your movie in from the Media Browser at the bottom right.
    THe Share to iDVD option is only activated if your source material is DV or AVCHD.

  • No Share menu in Itunes 10.5.3.3

    I am trying to update my music library via homeshare however, there is no Share menu after I upgraded to itunes 10.5.3.3.  I've tried turning off the homeshare and restarting itunes, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, and  i've also tried repairing itunes.  I've tried looking for threads on this but haven't found one.  I see its also a problem on my daughters ibook.  I have a PC running Vista. Is there a fairly simple fix?  Or, If it's more complicated, can someone please explain it step by step?

    I only have my own MacBook Pro to test on, but this resolved the issue for me.
    Creating a new user resolves this issue for that user. For existing users, I did the following. Note that 'staff' is a group to which my work and home accounts both belong.
    Log in as root or a different user with sudoer permissions.
    Go the the 'Users' directory.
    Where 'username' is the home directory of the user for whom the menu bar is no longer working type:
    Type 'chown -R username:staff username', without the quotes.
    Type 'chmod -R g+r username', again without the quotes.
    Log back into the 'username' account and the menu bar should be functional. And probably several other preferences issues which the update borked by getting the file permissions wrong.

  • Why is the "Send to iDVD" command missing from the share menu in iPhoto 9.4.3 when trying to send a slideshow to iDVD?

    How come the "Send to iDVD" command is missing from the share menu? In iPhoto I used to be able to send my slideshows to iDVD simply my clicking on the slideshow, selecting the "Share" menu at the top and going to "Send to iDVD". Now in iPhoto 9.4.3 that option is missing.
    Further i am also using iDVD 7.1.2 and running OSX version 10.8.3.
    Thanks!

    Export the slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window with Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, choose a theme and drag the exported movie file to the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Mail option is missing from share menu

    "Mail" is missing from the share menu. When I go to the Extensions preferences in the System Preferences it is checked buy also grayed out. On Apple.Com it clearly shows in the example that Mail is present in the Share dropdown menu. I verified that my Mail account is correct. I have also tried Apple's instructions on this page: If sharing options and Markup are missing after you install OS X Yosemite - Apple Support. Still nothing works. The Apple Help file even says this:
    Share Menu
    Select the items that you want in the Share menu, and in the Social widget in Today view in Notification Center.
    The Share menu is available in several apps, including Safari, Contacts, and the Finder. If an item is selected, but you don’t see it in an app’s Share menu, then you can’t use that item to share in that particular app.
    Only items that allow posting or messaging can appear in the Social widget.
    So, it would seem from this that Mail is not available in Photos? I find that hard to believe. I would be nice to still be able to email a photo directly from the new Photos App. Any other help would be appreciated. Thank you.
    Stan

    Having the same issue!  Just updated to 10.10.3 and still no mail option in the share menu for Photos app!  Share via email works fine in Safari but it is not available in Photos app.  Hopefully someone will advise or respond asap otherwise, will wind up following the steps to reverting back to iPhoto!!
