Save option grayed out when saving as???

I am just beginning the tutorial for FCP 5.1.2 but don't seem to be able to save the new tutorial project as the button for "save" is gray, not blue and therefore inaccessible. Also note that the format button in the same window with project as the default is also gray and inaccessible. Any thoughts as to how to get past this road block?
thanks,
Ol Pappy Joe

Thanks for responding. I think I have it all copied to my hard drive, at least the tutorial folder (Final Cut Studio Training) and something called Video-TS - they are both on an external LaCie and I am running the tutorial DVD off an external DVD player while performing the tutorial on my G5 where the FCP app is located. After I navigate to the Tutorial folder on the LaCie and find the Edit, then Project folders and try to save, the buttons for saving are gray???
Any more thoughts?
Thanks again.

  • Files grayed out when "saving as"

    Hello everybody,
    I've moved from windows to mac recently and i'm doing my best to understand the way this OS works. There are some things that really do not make sense to me as a beginner.
    Anyways my problem is that when i want to "save as" a file everything in the directory seems grayed out. Looks similar to how hidden files are on windows system. I can't even select the file, and i need to overwrite a lot. I've checked permission of the folder, files, of the directory tree, checked whether its locked, but no success to sort the issue out. The problem happens on every program, from adobe products to word and even some of the apps are gray and un-selectable (some seem to be fine). I'm not sure if this was from the beginning or i've messed up something accidentally. I've searched google for the past couple of hours with nothing to suggest a resolution to my problem.
    Ive attached an image for your reference.
    The only thing i can think of, that i've been messing with, was to enable (using the terminal) the option to have folders before files.
    Kind Regards
    A.

    restarted, everything seems fine... Anyway this post is useless...

  • Outline and Styles option grayed out when composing message in mail

    When composing an email message using mail 6.2,I'm unable to view any styles options under the Format option in the toolbar as it's grayed out along with the Outline option. I do have the rich text button selected in my "New Message" toolbar in Mail and the text I want to apply the style changes to are selected.
    I need to be able to use options like outline,superscript,subscript,etc. that are available in other email programs like Thunderbird without having to compose my email in TextEdit first,then copying and pasting it into Mail.Permissions have been repaired,and I have all of the latest Apple updates installed. Attached is a screenshot showing the grayed out areas in Mail.

    Inspired Life,
    In the five weeks since I posted the question,yours is the first comment(no comment from Apple).
    I was able to find a work around for this issue by scouring the web for ideas,so this wasn't my solution.
    Go to: http://presscheck.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/how-to-highlight-text-in-yellow-using -apple-mail/
    While the example they make is for highlighted text,follow the guidelines to create other text styles as well.Once you've done that,they're available in Apple Mail.Just be sure to create a name for the each new style.

  • "Approve" menu option grayed out when connected as ORCLADMIN in admin mode

    Hi everybody!
    When I connect to Content as ORCLADMIN and switch to administration mode, I cannot use the "Approve" option in the menu when I select a non-privilege user library creation pending request 'cause it's grayed out no matter what (also tried configuring another user to be a library administrator and receive requests for approval). I have OCS 10.1.2.0.
    Why can't I approve requests for library creation? Would it be a bug or I need to configure or grant something else?
    Thanks.

  • HT3678 I purchased Quick time pro, went through the steps above. When I go to save the video save is grayed out and it says I need to purchase quicktime pro.

    I purchased Quick time pro, went through the steps above to install.
    When I go to save the video save is grayed out and it says I need to purchase quicktime pro.

    Quicktime Pro will do full screen streaming videos that are compatible with Quicktime installed Codecs. If the video of the Olympics on the website has a specific URL to go straight to the video, then yes, you can call upon it with Quicktime Pro's player and then watch it fullscreen.
    If the video of the Olympics was embedded such a way that you can't find the direct link to the video, then the limitation is how the webpage is designed. Thanks to Flip4Mac, there is now also a Windows Media codec you can install for Quicktime as well:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm
    Although some video software like Elgato's EyeTV don't work with it yet. If you are using Elgato's software, don't download it, and rather download Windows Media Player for Mac OS X:
    http://tinyurl.com/26pxg
    if the video is in Windows Media.
    If the video is in Realplayer, click on the Realplayer Free button on the upper right corner of:
    http://www.real.com/player/?src=realaudio
    You can enter a dummy address and password if you don't want Real's offers.
    If it is still a question of not being able to determine the true link to the video, try using different Mac web browsers to see what result you get:

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro Save button grayed out

    I have a user with Windows 7 with a fresh install of Adobe acrobat 8 pro and everytime you open a pdf and type in it the Save button is grayed out. You can go to Save file as but why is the Save button grayed out? I have ran updates and even removed it again and reinstalled still the Save button is grayed out? I even created a new pdf with just test word in it and saved it to desktop the button was still grayed out when i reopened it.

    Only the fully updated Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X products support use under Windows 7.

  • Why would a control have the customize option dimmed out when it is right clicked?

    A numeric control in one of the examples has the customize option dimmed out when right clicked. Why would that be? Is there a way to get it into the control editor or saved as a control?

    Just to clarify my earlier statement:
    While customization was greyed out prior to LabVIEW 8.0 for items in the dialog (=system) palette, even LabVIEW 8.0+ does not allow much customization. For example if I try to customize the "System Numeric" control, the "wrench" is still greyed out and the only thing I can do is resize the control horizontally in the control editor.
    This is as expected!
    Dialog (system) controls inherit their visual appearance from the OS, and the same control will look different under Windows XP, Windows 2000, or MAC, etc. They adapt to the desktop theme, including fonts, font colors, and other colors, etc.. The attached Image shows the same pair of controls and how they change appearance if I switch the desktop theme between "Windows XP" and "Windows Classic".
    Customization would make no sense, because the appearance is determined by the OS, not by you.

  • After upgrade to 10.6.2 the" entire message" search option grayed out

    Just upgraded to t10.6.2 but now in the mail when searching for a mail the entire mail search option is not available anymore it is there but it is grayed out it can not be activated. That was the beauty if mail.
    on the other hand the To do button now works again
    any idea

    You have not said, but I would guess you are using an IMAP account? If so, then might it be that the selection in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced has gotten changed to not keep copies of messages (and/or attachments) for Offline Viewing? The Entire Mail search will be grayed out when copies of the messages are not stored locally.

  • "Access Control - Do Not Inherit" Grayed out when setting up a backup on Server 2008 R2 when trying to use remote NAS

    I see one response here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c99eead0-e2fc-4c83-8cb2-959d03512667/server-2008-r2-dc-backup-greys-out-do-not-inherit-option-for-file-share-backup
    But it makes no sense to me. Running that command doesn't do anything.
    How do I make the box stop graying out when setting up a backup with the GUI interface? This should be really simple I would think and for some reason the backup utility is graying out the "Do Not Inherit" option so I can backup to the NAS
    device that has access control enabled in order to backup to the NAS.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    From this article, it mentioned that it is by design that we cannot choose "do not inherit" in backup schedule when backup target is a remote shared folder.
    Checklist: Schedule Automatic Backups
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732540.aspx
    If you use a remote shared folder, make sure that the folder is available, that you have write access to the folder, and that you are a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group on the computer hosting the folder. Each time you create
    a backup, it will overwrite the older backups so that you will only have one backup at a time.
    The backup will inherit the access control list (ACL) permissions of the folder.
    For the account it required, as mentioned above, it should be "a member of Admin group or Backup Operators group, and it should have write permission on target folder".
    Also map a network folder as a drive will not help show the mapped drive letter in backup destination. It is still a remote shared folder.

  • Why is the email option grayed out from iphoto sharing

    I am running iPhoto 9.5.1 on Mavericks.  When I select a photo and try to share it the share menu has email and all the social meida options grayed out.  Checking accounts in iPhoto my email accounts are there.  I tried deleting and reinserting the one I want to use and restarting iPhoto, but it is still grayed out.

    You need to update yoru profile - it says OS X 10.6.8
    In the iPhoto preferences select an email client (I personally prefer Mail) and if you are using iphoto enter your email information in teh accounts tab (If you use Mail it will use yuro existing sset up)
    Same for social media - enter your account information in the accounts tab

  • Should be the bluetoot symbol grayed out when the bluetooth is turned "ON"or it should be highlighted in white like rest of the active symbols are? Please unswer this simple question clearly. Thank you.

    My blutooth symbol on the new i-Pod 2 is grayed out when the option is turned "ON". Shouldn't be highlighted white like the rest of the symbols are?

    when blue tooth is turned off in settings, the symbol does not show at all.  when BT is turned on in settings, but there is no connected device, it will show the symbol gryed out.  When BT is on, and connected to an active device, it will show as bright white.

  • Scripe error ? option grayed out

    I
    I When I go to edit my page an alert pops up ... an error has occured in the scripe on this page . What does this mean and what is it doing to the program or preventing me from doing ?
    I have a lot of options grayed out and not able to use when editing or making new pages? <<  highlight color, change text color, change size, change fonts. >> resizing images, page properties 5 out of 7 options grayed, etc. ... I checked under Administrators and all there looks okay and I am the only one using the program. I have gone to the Administrator Settings, then styles/fonts/size and all check for my use.
    OOnly on two of my main pages are all of the options available to use on either a New or Edit page but none are available on the other tabbed pages of my website. Even if I cut and paste a document the color, size and font changes to what is on the page.

    Don't make a text selection, but simply put your text cursor in the text with the new formats. Most likely, you have a mix of character formats selected.

  • Paste as Background option grayed out

    I'm using Captivate1. When I edit a slide, I select Copy
    Background, edit it in Paint, copy it from Paint and try to Paste
    as Background into Captivate. The Paste as Background option is
    grayed out. It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes I have to
    close the project and reopen it and the option is working. This
    time it doesn't work. There's nothing in online help about this so
    I hope someone in the forum might shed some light on this.
    Thanks.

    I started tracking what I was doing before the graying out
    occurred. It seems like if I copy and tweak (in Paint) more than 8
    or so backgrounds in a row, then the Paste as Background option
    grays out. It's like the system is tired of me copy and pasting
    back into Captivate. When I shut everything down and reopen it,
    then the paste memory clears and the option is available. Now by
    all means, this is not a technical explanation for what happens,
    but it's just what I'm observing.
    And yes, I'm patiently waiting for the powers that be to
    approve my upgrade to Cap2.
    Thx

  • Sip dialer port export option grayed out in configuration manager ucce 10

    Hi,
    I am configuring the outbound option for ucce 10, when i configure the sip dialer port (dialer conifguration) in conifiguration manager, i just added 5 ports, i can see this ports showing in dialer process on the PG, but i need to export this ports to Unified communication manager, i could not able to export it because this option grayed out (i did select all, or individual selection both are having export option grayed out)
    Any idea?
    with Regards,
    Manivannan

    Exporting port configuration is only allowed for SCCP, in SIP Dialer Deployment its actually not needed and that why its grayed out.
    //but i need to export this ports to Unified communication manager//
    in Sip Dialer you don't need to create any Port For Dialer under CUCM. its only required in SCCP.
    Sip Dialer port Directly registers with VG.
