Soundtrack Pro and Compressor greyed out on installation

For some reason the option to install Soundtrack Pro and Compressor are greyed out when performing installation of Logic Stdio.
I had installed Logic Studio previously but ran out of disk space and so uninstalled the program, upgraded my hard drive and I'm now at the point of reinstallation - but can't install those two programs.
Here's a screen shot of what I get AFTER installing what I can:

Also, why do some of the programs have 'upgrade' under Action?
Thanks.

I tried Final Cut Remover, and still had the same problem. I am in the midst of using Pacifist and it seems to be working. Apparently Pacifist copies the compressed files to to your hard drive then extracts and installs the programs. It appears to be working, but I will let you know whenever it finishes if indeed it does the job...
It is free to try and $20 for a donation. It might be a bargain considering the time it will save me...

Installing logic studio 9, soundtrack pro and loops utility greyed out

Hi,
I'm trying to reinstal logic studio 9 and on the screen where you select and deselect the instal options soundtrack pro (and therefore compressor) are labelled as skip and greyed out not allowing select. The same is true for the apple loops utility. I'm pretty sure i removed all the files of previous instal. Anyone help?

nevermind i found this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/10690183#10690183

Does Logic Pro X include replacement functionality for Compressor, Soundtrack Pro and Waveburner from Logic Studio 9?

Does Logic Pro X include replacement functionality for Compressor, Soundtrack Pro and Waveburner from Logic Studio 9?

No.. You can buy the Compressor (along with Mainstage) via the App Store as a separate download but STP and Waveburner are discontinued products. Some of STP's functionality can now be found in Final Cut Pro X...
Note: Mainstage, Compressor, Waveburner and STP were part of the full version of Logic Studio 2.0 (which also included Logic Pro 9 ) and sold for $999 compared to Logic Pro X which retails at $200...
The Apple loops/Jam packs that came as part of Logic Studio 2.0 now come free with Logic Pro X (and did so with the Appe store version of Logic Pro 9) .. as part of the additional downlaod

Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Server....can you check-in/check-out?

Hello!
Just curious how the workflow is with Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Server. We haven't used Soundtrack Pro, but have been thinking about it for Surround Sound projects.

You can check in anything into FCSvr, any type of project file or media file. Unlike checking in/out a Final Cut Pro project, with any other application, you'll need to check out the project file for that app, and manually check out all the media associated with it. Many folks will simply set up the STP, or Motion, or InDesign, or Illustrator project and it's associated media all into the same folder on their workstation. Then check in/out that folder as a "bundled asset". This makes a zip file in FCSvr that holds all of those needed files together. When you check it out, it's unzipped and places on your local workstation. When you check back in, FCSvr re-zips it and replaces the original on it's RAID storage drive.

Uninstalling Soundtrack Pro and Loops

With the recent purchase of a MacBook Pro I also acquired the Final Cut Studio HD. I have run out of space on my local hard drive and in the process of cleaning it off and moving programs and files to an external I am looking to delete Soundtrack Pro and all of the Loops that come with that program.
What I am wondering is the best and safest way to remove these files without affecting the rest of the Final Cut Suite.
So if someone can clue me in on the best way to uninstall Soundtrack Pro, Soundtrack Loops, Motion and any program with Final Cut HD without affecting the others I would really appreciate it.
In a related question are the bundled software programs such as iPhoto and GarageBand located on any discs that come with the computer or would uninstalling them leave me without the option to reinstall them at a later date?
Thanks!

iPhoto and GarageBand are on the Install discs.
Get the external drive and move your Final Cut files (not the app) there.
I imagine it uses lots and lots of space when editing. so make sure you clear out everything after you finish a project.

Install Soundtrack Pro without Compressor 2

I've run in to major problems with Compressor 2. I am running Production Studio (FCP4.5, DVDSP3, etc). I purchased the Soundtrack Pro Upgrade and it also added Compressor 2. I have experienced many problems with compressor 2 (I've seen them listed here) and needed to totally rebuild to get back to a working system with Compressor 1. I tried many of the suggestions with little luck. I have not yet installed Soundtrack Pro, as I cannot afford to bring my system to a halt again with Compressor 2. Is there any way to install Soundtrack Pro without Compressor 2? I've been through the install and the documentation, but did not see the option. Anyone know any way to do this?

If you get Charles Srstka's Pacifist, you will be able to install whatever you need to wherever you want... Beware: this is not for the faint of heart - you must know what you're doing!

TS3968 This also affect DVD Studio Pro and compressor.

This also affect DVD Studio Pro and compressor, that were useless after upgrading to Snowleopard. Prokit 7 solved the problem. How come it doesn't come automatically with software update? Lost two hours on a crashed DVD project and looking for this very simple solution. Love you Apple, but this time you let me down...
After updating to Snowleopard, FCP comes up with a warning about unsupported enablerfiles during start-up. Prokit 7 didn't solve that problem. Anybody...?

Right on, Eric.
I'm a devoted Windows man, but I must say that DVDSP is the best DVD authoring software I've tried so far.
As far as compressor goes, it depends what program you are exporting from and for what purpose. There are many options in there and I for instance found out that using something like a Photo JPEG compression rather than a DV PAL setting for a project that was all in DVD PAL gave a better output.
Compressor is a pretty big program and by trying different things out, you can probably find what you need.
Sounds like there could be a problem with your computer if everything comes out as crappy as you say...?
Good luck figuring it out or make your mpegs on PC's TMPGEnc. (He-he... )

I updated my iPhone and now none of the music on it will play. When I sync, I can change teh music selections on it, but they all won't play and are greyed out. Only the Playlists, Artists, Albums are black font, but all songs are grey and won't play

I recently updated my iPhone 3G to 5.0 (9A334) and it was somehow interrupted during restoration, or at least that is what it tells me. But it keeps making a new restore and adding it to a list, but never gets through without getting interrupted. anyways, I kind of got through all that, but now all the music on the iPhone won't play and is greyed out. I had some APPs greyed out, but they are not as important. Music is a huge investment in my life and this part of it has gone silent. I SYNC with my iMac. Resyncing doesn't help. I can change the selections, but can never get them to play on the iPhone.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

My internal hard drive wont show on the desktop and is greyed out in the finder

My Internal drive will not show up on the desktop, and appears greyed out in the finder.
it shows up fine in disk utility and i have tried to repair permissions. This runs normally, there does not seem to be any problems with the drive itself.
if i unhide the hidden system folders using terminal, it appears on my desktop again, but greyed out.
any ideas how i can fix this?

Try deleting the Finder .plists. You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist(s) to your desktop.
Relaunch Finder and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the Finder is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
If that doesn't work, try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Sometimes, when I click on a link, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link. Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg?

Sometimes, when I click a link on a web page, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link I clicked. A moment later, when I'm at the link, its address appears in the address bar, and all is normal. It seems that this happens only from some particular sites.

That is OK. Firefox will only display the link in the location bar after the DNS look up has succeeded and a connection to the server has been established. Until that has been done you see the default setting for the location bar: Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

My ipad2 safari is not responding and has greyed out

safari on my ipad2 is not responding and has greyed out... is there a way i can sort it out ?

If you follow Bob's instructions.. allow it to cool down.. maybe leave it off overnight.. if the disk fails to start when you power on.. or listen carefully and hear if the disk is failing to spin up properly then you have either dead drive or dead supply.
Is it in warranty or applecare, let apple replace it?
If it is out of applecare even, open it and replace the disk.
How old is the TC? What model from the rubber mat A1xxx? What size disk?
Certain drives are becoming unreliable.. The WD black in Gen2, The Samsung Spinpoint in Gen3 and WD green in Gen3 and Gen4 are none of them great drives.
Out of warranty do the job yourself.. there is plenty of stuff about drive upgrades for the TC.
Excellent instructions here.

Imessage on Mac has my wifes phone number and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number (on the beta version of iMessage for the mac)

hey-- so iMessage on ONE computer has my wifes phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number. any ideas? ive done what people have suggested on these forums, e.g., check your apple id make sure your number is associated with it etc. how do i change the iMessage number from my wifes to my actual number? thanks! R

HI,
This can depend on the the Apple ID that is used.
I was under the impression that the invididual parts of an iCloud ID could be "registered" separately for iMessages but this may not be correct.
I have an Apple ID that is based on a email from a source external to Apple. (an old Dial-up account email)
I registered this for iCloud and at the time got an @me.com name as well.
I also have two iPhones so I decided to use the @me.com name on one iPhone and the older Dial-up on the other.
This seemed to work up to the OS X10.8.2 and iOS 6 updates.
AT this points I did the OS X one first then the iPhones
I got alerts in Messages on the Mac to add the Dial-up ID iPhone's number to Messages which I accepted.
The Messages Menu > Accounts > iMessages showed the iPhone Number as an alternative Receive ID and offered itself in the Drop as the Send from ID.
I then set up the second iPhone and got an alert in Messages to add the Apple ID and the iPhone number to Messages.
I said no to this.
At iOS 6 this did not get added to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessage panel.
However at iOS 6.0.2 the iPhones are showing their own Numbers as Greyed out and even though I refused again the @me.com ID and second iPhone's Number they have been added to the Message Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages pane although they are not ticked.
The only link these two Apple ID Names have is that they are both associated with the iCloud Account.
(I Can log in to the same iTunes account with either name, and post here, and access iCloud in a web browser - the password is the same).
I have successfully managed to get one iPhone to have it's greyed out Number ticked so it can accept iMessages sent to the Number.
This involved removing the Apple ID on that iPhone, Closing iMessages, restarting iMessages and then re-adding the Apple ID
I did get an alert to say the ID would not work anywhere in iMessages when removing it.
It was 24 hours before I got an alert in Messages again to add the iPhone Number and Apple ID (I said no and they are not active but do show in the iMessage account on the Mac)
I am a little confused by this bit:-
...ONE computer has my wife's phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out ...
I can see the iPhone Numbers in Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts >iMessages Account pane but they are not greyed out even when not active
They are only greyed out on the iPhone's themselves.
I would also make sure the Apple IDs used on each computer and it's related iPhone are separate from each other.

New Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro Updates...

There's new updates for Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro on Software Update.
They seem to have fixed the problem I was having with one of my giant old projects. I used to have to open one of the audio projects before my multitrack project would open, but now it opens just fine. So far so good!

Hi Collings,
Looks like there are two threads about the recent FCP & STP updates, so I'm posting my findings here, too.
I just found another thing that appears to be fixed in STP 1.0.2:
Batch normalize is working:
I have a bunch of aif files that I want to normalize. I opened one in the waveform editor, applied process->normalize (level=0dB), then selected File->Save as Applescript--this creates an Applescript droplet. Then I can then grab a whole bunch of audio files and drop them all onto this droplet and they all get normalized correctly. This is a huge timesaver for me. Before this update, using this approach to batch-normalize a set of files seemed to deliver unpredictable results, but I just ran a whole set of files through, and they all played back with a peak level of 0dB (and no clipping).
Here are the other things that I've noticed so far with STP 1.0.2:
Automation:
-In STP 1.0.1, Automation was not applied correctly on project sample rates that were not supported by the hardware (e.g. play a 96K project on a laptop built-in 48K audio interface and the automation was late by 2X) -- this is fixed!!! YAY!
-STP 1.0.1 did not handle long automation ramps across long periods of silence (it would sometimes cause a glitch at the start of the clip right after the automation ramp--there is even a support article about this)--it seems like they fixed this one, too.
Sample rate switching:
-I see an option in general preferences to allow me to disable the "Switch hardware sample rate to match document", and with this disabled, I no longer get audible clicks from my audio interface when I switch tabs. Plus, switching tabs seems faster to me.
Realtime effects and automation in audio file projects:
-They've added a warning to inform folks about the need to bounce realtime effects and automation to an action--if you are in an audio file project with realtime effects that have not been bounced to an action and you try to save, you get a warning message.
Has anyone else noticed any other fixes or changes in this update?
