Trim selection is grayed out in imovie

Trim to selection is grayed out in iMovie. I read here on the community, and I think I moved it to Project. But it is still grayed out. It makes the entire app useless for me since the whole point was for me to be able to trim movie clips for inclusion in presentations. The help instructions just tell me to click on "Trim Selection."
FYI, I have highlighted the selection, and there is a yellow outline around it.

Restart your router.

Nothing to do with professional or not, but I do hope you know where your computer's power switch is. System information can be obtained this way:
Working with your Operating System’s Tools
Furthermore we need info where you store your files, what format they are in, where they came from, what you did the last time this worked, if possible...

Hi,
It might be the graphic driver not compitable with the graphic device. Has there been a change to the graphic driver?
One thing you can try is to uninstall graphic driver and download the latest from Windows Update (if you haven't tried this). Here are the possible steps:
1. Go to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Device Manager, uninstall the graphic card driver by right clicking and select "uninstall". Make sure the option "Delete the driver software for this device" is selected.
2. Reboot the system.
3. Go to Control Panel->System and Security->Windows Update, click on "Optional updates" and find the driver for g210 and do the update.

Split event before selected clip grayed out

When editing movies, the option "split event before selected clip" is always grayed out...can anyone help???

The reason to split an event is to make the footage easier to find when you start making projects. For example, if you shot a birthday party on the afternoon and a football game at night, they might import into the same Event (based on date). You could select the first clip of football and right-click/Split Event Before Selected Clip. Now you have two Events...a birthday party event and a football event.
This has nothing to do with sharing and projects.
A single project can use clips from many events.
And you can make many projects from the clips in a single event.
The project does not duplicate the footage that is stored in the Event, it just references it.
A project is really a text file that is a recipe for building a movie. The recipe is executed when you "Share" or render your movie.
For example the Project file might say
"Look in Event XYZ and grab frames 1 through 200 from the third clip.
Add an audio track from iTunes, and mute the audio track from the Event.
Add a title that says this or that.
Apply some color correction in these parameters.
Now look at Event QPR and grab the second and third clips, but trim off the last 10 frames."
Etc.
Hope this helps.
If you want to share multiple movies from an Event, you just create multiple projects that reference the event. Choose the frames you need by dragging and dropping. And then share the projects.
No need to get QuickTime Pro involved.

Photos: "Selected folders" grayed out.

I've been having issues syncing photos to my ipad mini. 1. the "Selected folders" option is grayed out so I can't choose that. 2. When I sync anything it replaces the album I syncing previously. Basically, I can't put any albums on by syncing in iTunes. Any ideas?

Figured it out -- needed to select the proper folder...D'oh!

I need to edit embedded file, but selection is grayed out

I need to convert embedded RGB files to CMYK, but when I go to "Edit Original," it is grayed out. In some cases, I no longer have the original. Can I make the RGB to CMYK change by working with the embedded file? How do I get to it? Thanks.

Select the file in the links panel and then choose unembed from the
panel menu.
If the graphic isn't in the links panel then it was copy/pasted in and
there's nothing you can do really. It's not going to be high quality
anyway, just a low res preview proxy image.

How to make this parameter gray out, not changeable mode.

Hi,
For the parameters required, while declaring them use the MODIF ID, lets say you have choosen the modif id as SC1.
i.e. parametes: p_mat type matnr DEFAULT '100' MODIF ID SC1.
Then in the initialization event, code as below.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
      IF screen-group1 = 'SC1'.
        screen-input = '0'.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
It will work.

Cannot select signature (grayed out) in Apple Mail

Okay - so I'm a bit confused. In Apple Mail, I go to prefs>Signature. I select the account and I see a signature next I want to use in the box to the right. But when i create a new email the signature does not show up. Then I go back to Prefs and again select the account and this time I want to use the drop down "Choose Signature" bu it is grayed out. Any suggestions on how to have my signature automatically appear like it had been for years. I don't know what changed?

You need to ensure the signature is assigned to an account. For examle I have an iCloud and an Exchange Account. Select the account you want to add the signature and then the "Choose Signature" selection should no longer be greyed out.
If you have a signatures when "All Signatures" is selected but all your account list "0 Signature" you can click and drag the signature to the proper account. Than you should be able to do the above.

Using iTunes to sync photos from selected albums grayed out

After I connect my iPhone 4 (running iOS 6) to my iMac, launch iTunes, select the iPhone device, then select Photos, I am unable to choose Sync Photos from iPhoto "Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include Events." The radio button is grayed out on my primary iMac. It is not grayed out when I connect the iPhone to my MacBook Air or to another Mac which means it is a problem specific to this one computer (running OSX 10.8.2 and the latest iPhoto and iTunes). I have looked all through the discussions and cannot find a solution to this problem. As suggested in the discussions, I've tried deleting the plists, creating a new account on the iMac and trying it there (it is grayed out there as well), re-installing iPhoto and iTunes, all to no avail. Advice welcome. Thanks.

Do matters improve if you update to iPhoto 9.4.1?
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
Addresses an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when upgrading multiple books, cards, and calendars

I'm trying to upload videos from my Sony HDR-CX550 camera and the files that contain the video (.cpi or .mts) are all grayed out on iMovie. I've been able to upload footage before onto Apple computers but now it doesn't seem to be working. Suggestions?

I've tried many different options including calling Apple Customer Support and talking to them for over an hour troubleshooting the issue. They couldn't do anything. I also called Sony who failed as well. Somebody please help me out. Thanks!

Hello whatif95,
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble importing video from your Sony HDR-CX550. I found an article that provides some information specific to your camera and iMovie '09:
iMovie: Importing both HD and SD content with Sony HDR series cameras
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1793
For versions previous to iMovie ’11 v9.0.1, including iMovie ’08, ’09, and ’11 (v9.0 only):
To import the AVCHD content from the camera when MPEG-2 content has also been recorded, you must first import and erase the MPEG-2 content from the camera. You should then be able to import the AVCHD content.
I hope this helps!
Best,
Sheila M.

Stroke (Outline) Selection grayed out

I would like to outline a selection. After I select it and go to Edit, Stroke (Outline) Selection is grayed out. Please advise.

The selection has to be active. You can determine this if you see "marching ants" surrounding the selection.
Try this:
Open picture files, make your selection with one of the tools, e.g. lasso, selection brush
Go to Layer>new>layer via copy. Now the selection will be on its own layer, but not active - no marching ants
Press CTRL + left click the layer thumbnail for the selection, and the marching ants show up
Go to Edit>stroke. Position inside, use contrasting color vs. background
Please report back with your progress.

Infoset - Field selection grayed out for few of them?

Hi,
I have created an Infoset b/w InfoObject and ODS. Some of Info Object attributes selection is grayed out. In other words I am not able to select them.
Why only few attribute selection is grayed out? Is there any way I can make them selectable?
Thanks
Padma

Jaya,
You are right. All the attributes that are grayed out are marked as "attribute only".
Thanks a lot

How can I customize Firefox to eliminate the function where the browser grays out the window in order to highlight a question box?

Ever since I upgraded from Firefox 3 (which I waited so long to do because I couldn't customize the newer Firefox the way I wanted to) to Firefox 14.0.1, I have had a problem.
I guess that one of the websites I visit is trying to imitate Windows, where the background becomes grayed out whenever it wants you to concentrate on a response box. So when I am on a third-party email site (Inbox.com), and delete a message, when the message box pops up to ask me if I really want to delete the message, the background becomes grayed out while the response box is displayed. This never happened on that site when I used Firefox 3, and I would like to prevent this from happening.
I have tried to manage this with an add-on (Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus), but it won't allow me to select the grayed out part of the screen the way it does with unsolicited "pop-ups".
Is there a Firefox setting or an add-on I can use to keep the background from becoming "grayed out"?
Thank you

Thanks for responding.
It isn't that there is anything grayed out that I need to see, just that it would be a preference of mine to not have the graying occur. It didn't happen in build 3.
It's just that something about the graying strikes me as "bossy", and since it's my computer (and I should be able to control it as I please), it irritates me.
To answer your other post, I don't want to upgrade to build 20. Actually, I would rather return to 3, just to keep things like this from happening.
In version 3, I also had more control over the autocomplete function on some websites. I'm not talking about the autocomplete that fills in forms or passwords, but the autocomplete that occurs when you type in a search box on a website. I had eliminated almost all occurances of autocomplete by using various different things, until I got Firefox 14. Now I have to put up with it on a few sites, including one that I use often.
Every time I get a newer version of Firefox, I have to accept more and more things that I don't want to have in my browser.

Preview PDF grayed out

I am using Designer for the first time, and I wanted to preview the PDF after I had added a few fields to a new form. But when I go to turn on the View > Preview PDF tab the selection is grayed out. I can publish the PDF and tehn look at it, but that's a pain. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0, and I selected that in the Properties - Default, but it is still grayed out.
Help!

Hi,
Try starting Acrobat first (and have it in the background) then start up LC Designer.
Also have a look at the preferences in Acrobat. The display in browser affects whether LC designer previews the form in LC or pushes it out to Acrobat.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Flattener Preview Highlight Settings Grayed Out

Had to re-install of my Adobe programs due to an overal computer issue.
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 - Adobe Acrobat X - Adobe InDesign CS5.5
I have not had this issue before the reinstall. I have a Adobe InDesign file and did an export to PDF.
I chose Adobe PDF Preset - Smallest File Size, I used the default settings for Smallest File Size preset.
When I opened that file in Acrobat and went to Tools > Print Production > Flattener Preview
When the Flattener Preview window opens at the top it show preview settings. Under the "Highlight" section
the selections are grayed out. I am using items with tranparency within the PDF. Also I have successfully used this
option with this file before. Not sure what is causing the highlight options to be grayed out.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

After hours of messing with this I think I figured it out! Seems like a possible bug in the program. Turns out that even though pages throughout the PDF had trasparency, in this particular case, the first page in the PDF did not. So the "highlight" pull-down menu window is grayed out and it seems to be because the first page does not have transparency even though I had "all pages" checked.
So I went back into the PDF and selected a page that HAD transparency. Then when back into the flattener preview settings and clicked on "all pages" and went back to the "Highlight" menu and trasparency selections were there.
So seems like a weird bug in Acrobat that you have to have a page in the preview window that has transparency for it to work on all pages.
Hope this makes sense!
