Unable to use Content Library or its contents

Content Library will not install on left panel, nor can I use "Titles", etc - all grayed out. Have tried importing different formats of movie, playing movie via the View menu, all to no avail so far. Any suggestions?

You cannot do this. All pics synced from your computer to your iphone are in photo library. you will ALWAYS have a photos library. You can access those exact same photos from the albums that you synced, just as a song is in your librayr and the same song can be accessed from a playlist.

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

Backing up iPhoto Library (or its contents) to DVD

I currently use Time Machine to backup my iPhoto Library to an external hard drive. However, I would also like to back up the library itself, or at least its contents, to DVD. Does iPhoto have a built-in backup to disc utility like iTunes does? If not, can you suggest a good method/app for backing up the library to disc? My iPhoto Library is around 8 GB, so it won't fit on a single DVD. I do have Toast, although it's an old version (Version 8, I believe). Could I use that?

No.
My iPhoto Library is around 8 GB, so it won't fit on a single DVD.
If you have a drive capable of writing to dual layer double sided DVDs, the library will fit. Other options include control-clicking the iPhoto Library item in the Finder and compressing or archiving it, or showing its contents in the Finder, splitting that over multiple DVDs, and fully reassembling it before attempting to access it from iPhoto.

How to delete a table using pages without losing its content!

Try this on a duplicate of your file to be sure it produces the desired results and you don’t risk your original file: Select the entire table, then Format > Table > Convert Table to Text.

I am unable to use my library situated on my local network because Ii's locked or I am not authorized to open

I unable to open my IPhoto library on my hard disk (Time Machine); the message is that im not autorized or yhe library is locked.
What can I do to correct this problem?

Are you connecting wirelessly?
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why can't I use the content library in iMovie?

I can use every other feature in iMovie except for the Content library. It is not in my side bar, and when i get it from the tool bar above the options are gray like I can't use them.

Hello taigepeves,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you're trying to get your Content Library to appear in iMovie, please make sure you have a movie project open, as it should then automatically appear.
You can find titles, transitions, music, and maps in the Content Library. The Content Library is at the bottom of the sidebar once you open a movie project.
If the sidebar is not already open, click Show in the toolbar.
At the bottom of the sidebar, select an item from the Content Library.
In the Browser, your selection appears (titles, transitions, and so on). Drag one to the timeline to add it to your movie.
If you add a title, map, or globe, you can adjust settings in the Adjustments Bar which is located above the Viewer. 
If you add a transition, double-click it in the timeline to adjust its duration.
To return to your video clips in the Browser, select an event in the sidebar.

Unable to access time machine backup. The folder "Documents" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.

My MacBook Pro with 750GB storage refuses to startup due to a problem with logic board (unfortunately I'm in Singapore and there is no Apple store here and zero customer support). I'm trying to access some of the files from the time machine back-up using my MacBook Air with 120GB storage, but I'm unable to open the backup. I receive an error message "you don't have permission to see its contents". Unable to access time machine backup. The folder “Documents” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
I don't really want to migrate the data from the time machine to the MacBook Air as I simply don't have sufficient storage space on the MacBook Air. The iPhoto library which I'm trying to access is 200GB, which is more than the size of the MacBookAir.
Is there any way I can view the photos and documents stored on the time machine backup.
Thank you very much.

When you setup the Mac, you created a Admin user account with say name X
You ran Migration Assistant and it migrated user Y from the Windows machine.
User Y has different permissions than User X.
User X can't normally access User Y's account.
So what you do is log out of User X via the Apple menu and into User Y, this way you have permission to access the files.
If you want to transfer files from User Y to User X account
Transfer files between user accounts on the same machine instructions
Finder > Go menu > Computer
A window appears with your boot drive, double click on it to open
Inside is Users folder, double click to open it
Inside is your User accounts, double click on the one you want to send files too
Double click on the Public folder drop the files into the DropBox folder,
The permissions will change and can be used in the other user account when you log into it and moved to the appropriate folders.
Applications are typically installed and kept in the Applications folder which is a global access folder all users can access to run them from, but not all users can modify unless they are a Admin user.
Windows programs won't run on a Mac, but they can be instaled into a virtual machine program that is running Windows.

How to copy a page( webpart page) with its content using client side.

How to copy a page(in my case webpart page) with its content(it may contain webparts) using client code (i mean using SPservices or ECMA script).
What i am planning is ,to give end user a page where it will contain text box to specify name of page and a button with the help of content editor webpart.
where on click of button we need to write client side code such that it should create a new page from a existing page in a library with given name by user.
Any suggestion would be helpful. For your information we can do it through UI with the help Site Actions / Manage Content and Structure.But i want to automate it using client side code.Server side code is restricted.
or can we create a template of an existing page with content without the help of sharepoint designer.
Thanks in advance
with regards Ravichandra

Hi - just using the new iMovie for the first time - apparently there should be a sidebar containing tools like "Content Library". Not on mine - even in Window view, Content Library features like text etc are all greyed out - obviously it's me - help?

Sorry - I should have added that I have imported a Quicktime movie, originally created as an iPhoto slideshow.
I want to create rolling credits at the movie end and apparently you can only do this using iMovie - can you help please?

I have keynote on an iPad. I have only one Apple Account. After connecting my iPad to my PC and launch of iTunes, I go into Apps > Keynote and hit he Add button, select my MS Presentation file and get the following: File:X you do not have permission to see its content. I currenty have other .pptx and .pdf files in Keynote and not sure why I'm unable to upload anymore. My avail iPad HDD space is 16 GB. File size is 345 MB so I created a test.pptx file which is 10k in size and tried to upload that as well and got the same error. Seeking a fix or workaround as I was not able to find anything out on the web.

My content library is grayed out in the top menu and does not appear in the sidebar. Cannot use.

I am using iMovie 10.0.3 on OS 10.9.3. Many features are grayed out. My whole content library being the most important. I can't even do any transitions.

My iMovie's (10.0.5) "content library" is greyed out as well in the menu bar. It does not even show up in the side bar. The content library is still there in iMovie 9. I recently updated Mac OS to Mavericks and iMovie updated itself. I am using an iMac (post 2007). I have tried a few things but to no avail yet. I closed iMovie 10, started iMovie 9, let it re-establish stuff, closed iMovie 9, found iMovieUpdated (not exact wording) files in Finder under User:Movies folder, deleted them, then restarted iMovie 10. I was hoping it would somehow reset itself, but no. I then trashed iMovie 10, logged out and back in, and updated back to iMovie 10 through the App Store: Purchases. No luck. I fixed permissions - no luck. Also, I am attempting to access the "content library" while in a project (not an event), since that is where I would expect it to show up and be useful.

Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content? I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
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 using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. 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. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. 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 un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
