The Import item is grayed out in the File menu. How do I activate it?

I want to import my favorites from Internet Explorer, but under the File menu, the Import item is grayed out. How do I make it available?

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
You also export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

    Thanks for the follow up.
    From what you wrote, you have Premiere Elements 10. Is that on Windows 7 64 bit or other. For now I will assume Windows 7 64 bit. If version 10 is on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit it is a 64 bit application running in the 64 bit system which makes it possible for full use of the 64 bit resources. That is good news especially when you are trying to take a large project to completion.
    You set up the project preset in the new project dialog to match the properties of your source media. That setting directs the program to establish the right space in the Edit Mode Monitor for editing purposes. That project preset also directs the program as to what disc menu set (s, w, or hd) will be available to you in the disc menu section. The project preset also has more subtle effects on the project settings.
    What is you plan for exporting your Timeline, export to file saved to the computer hard drive or burn to disc DVD or Blu-ray? Keep in mind that the setting for the project preset do not prohibit variations in the export choice under most conditions. If you post a description of your source media and how you would like to export it, I will offer some very specific guidelines on that.
    If you do go the purchased book route, please try for one which is specific to your version 10. There has been a marked change in interface starting with version 11. Often principles remain the same from version to version, but features do not. And, I always write "It is very frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find a feature."
    I suggest that you start with the Premiere Elements 10 Help PDF and then decide what next.

    A lot of these links that say version 10, roll over to 11.
    Steve Grisetti, the moderator of this forum, writes books on Premiere Elements if you are interested in the purchased book route.
    Hope the information above is helpful. Above all do not hesitate to ask if you have questions on your Premiere Elements workflow or need clarification on anything written.

  • Step into and other debugging items are grayed out in ISE debug menu in PS4.0

    hi friends
    i don't know why things go wrong for me
    it's about 3 hours that i am googling & studying documents on how to use Debugger in PS 4.0 ISE
    the problem is i open my script in ISE, but when i open debug menu, step over,
    step into, step out, stop debugger and many other items on debug menu in ISE are
    gray out.
    ( my script contains about 20 commands)
    i need to run my script in line by line method (step into)
    but its gray out  :-(
    i studies many pages regarding powershell debugger but none of the mentioned first enabling debugger ( i think maybe it's off by default)
    am i on the right way ? is debugger feature by default off in PS 4.0 ISE? is this what debugging items are gray out?
    i looked for a cmdet to enumerate the current state of ISE debugger (on or off) but unfortunately didn't find anything.
    another confusion: is it necessary to run the entire script at least one time so that step into feature be available to use?
    is yes, that's too bad. i want first examine my script line by line
    any help please
    thanks in advanced

    Unless you have break points inserted and the script actually running, then those options will be greyed out. You need to first insert your break point, and then run the script. Once the code where the break point is going to be executed, the script
    will stop there allowing you to step into or out of

    Hi clayman
    thanks for your answer. useful
    after examining many different states finally i discovered the Hidden rule which i didn't find this on the net.
    the rule is:
    when we want to examine our entire script line by line ( step into our script), we must create a line breakpoint on the
    first line of the script &
    then press F5, now the items on the debug menu are available such as step into
    i wrote this for people who encounter such problem but after lots of search on the internet, they find no document describing this

  • I'm on 64-bit windows 7 trying to import favorites from Internet Explorer 8 to Firefox 3.6.10. When I click on File menu, the import option is grayed out. Any suggestions please...

    Sorry, no more content to add.

    Yes, apparently I was in Private Browsing mode. I guess FireFox came up in that mode when I started it for the first time. Changed to Remember History mode, Import was then usable and I was able to import my Internet Explorer favorites. Thanks TonyE...

  • I'm having trouble transfering bookmarks from Safari to Firefox. File, "Import" button is grayed out. I've gone through your trouble shooting, the database for imports is no longer current.

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have the latest version of Firefox 5.0. I'm over Apple's Safari, and I'd like to transfer my bookmarks into Firefox. I've gone through your help and support section and found an article that could help me. However, when I click File, the "import" button is grayed out. Which prevents me from importing bookmarks into your browser. So I drug the Firefox icon into the recycle bin, and hit empty trash, then re-downloaded the firefox software from your site, and it seemed to remember my old bookmarks from a year ago. The file, "import" button was still grayed out, so I couldn't update my entire new list of bookmarks onto your web browser.

  • The Video check box in the Import Settings is greyed out, what have I done?

    I am using a Sony Handycam HDR-SR5E with final cut pro (v7.0l). When logging and transferring my recent files I found i only imported the sound. So returning to the log and transfer window, and checking on the import settings i notice the check boxes are grayed out and the video box is unchecked.
    I have no idea what I have done, some of the files will allow me to import video, but the files i really need won't. Just retested the camera and the file i just recorded will allow me to import the video. Any ideas, i want to avoid making the same mistake again and ideally would like to get the video out of the camera.

    Deleting FCP Preferences:
    Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
    Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
    Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
    Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
    When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up.

  • Aperture import plug-in won't run.  After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out.  Any thoughts?

    Aperture import plug-in won't run.  After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out.  Any thoughts?

    Others have the same issue, with the import button being grayed out.  My trail copy expired, but I believe by poking around in the options and selecting another Aperture library and re-selecting, I was able to continue.
    The problem is common enough, that hopefully Adobe will address.  In the mean time, try repairing your Aperture library, checking permissions, exporting a subset of your library for a test, or try putting that library subset on an external drive.  (Can usually avoid permissions issues.)

  • MRP Type is grayed out in the material master

    Now go to OMS9, press F4 in Field sel.group so that some fields will be displayed.  Select the above field  and press Enter key.  Below you will find the options to change as Hide, Display, Reqd Entry, Opt entry.  Make the required changes and now check the material master.  Like this, you can make changes for other fields also.

  • Import button remains grayed out when adding existing folder to LR 4

    Greetings.  I'm following the steps in the following link from Adobe:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSE828B644-9097-46ab-98A7-E2719BBB6647.htm l
    The final step, after selecting the folder I want to add, is to select Import.  Except, the Import button remains grayed out.  I'm not sure what to do in order to select Import and add the folder I already have.
    Thanks,
    Mike H.

    Thank you for the information.  Yes, that seems to make sense based on what I've discovered using LR 4.  Still trying to come up to speed.  Appreciate everyone's help with their tips and insight.

    Folders per se cannot be imported - only pictures (or movies) in a folder can. So, you have to select a folder containing at least one picture or movie (all pictures and movies found are automatically selected when the import dialog opens). This is probably not the case for the folder you want to add, so "no photos found" is displayed in the dialog center and the "Import" button is greyed out.

    Would you care to comment on why there is an advantage to do this little extra job?
    Perhaps you don't want to hear from me, I don't know.
    I'll answer just this one little question.  Try to get your mind around what color management does, I promise it does make sense (outside of unexplained problems on particular computers).
    You want to save your web image with the sRGB profile embedded because some Internet browsers are color managed, and with an embedded profile it's more likely someone will see your image colors just as you intended.
    The assumption is that a lowly windows user with a cheap monitor and Internet Explorer will be seeing any image you save as "roughly" sRGB anyway.  Tagging the image with sRGB only affects those with color-managed browsers.
    You're looking for the most possible consistency for the viewing audience.

  • Sending photos from iPhoto to FB the word "Publish" is grayed out.  How do I get it black again?, Sending photos from iPhoto to FB the word "Publish" is grayed out.  How do I get it black again?

    I have been sending pics from my iPhoto to FaceBook for a long time.  Today I tried sending them from my iPhoto and after clicking FB a window comes up with the question Do you want to publish...........(whatever the pics are about)?  Then I choose the option of "everyone" "friends of friends" and "only friends".  After choosing my option I can then click on "publish" and the pics go to my profile page on FB, or they did until today...because the word "publish" is grayed out and won't allow me to send them.  Anyone got any suggestions why this got grayed out, and how can I fix it.
    Jimare.

    Lisa
    Your problem is that you have been running a Referenced Library, and now you're trying to convert this to a Managed Library
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 
    Simply changing the setting in the Preferences will not do this. It just means that imports from here forward will be Managed. Those that were Referenced remain so.
    Now, because you've moved the Referenced Files to the new disk, iPhoto cn't find them. So it throws the error message. This is one of the major reasons experience users recommend against Referenced Libraries.
    No change you make at this point will have any effect. The Library will try and update and throw the errors.
    Options:
    Let it run it's course and then fix it.
    Or
    Give it up as a bad job, recover your Photos and start over from scratch.

  • I am trying to install Iphoto on my new MacBook Air adn the install button is grayed out  Any suggestions

    I am trying to install iphoto 09 on my new MacBook Air and the install button is grayed out.  Both for installation and custom install.  Is there a problem that I am not aware of?

    Check for receipts
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
