Update button in Titles pane won't activate

Hi! I'm trying to place a title on a photo clip in iMovie HD. I believe I've followed the Help directions correctly. However, after I've set my title and clicked the preview button, the Update button remains greyed out so I can't set the title. Any suggestions?

Hi Douglas - setting titles is not quite as intuitive as perhaps it could be. The Update button is used ONLY to modify an already existing title.
To create a new title here is what you must do:
1. Choose the title style and type the title wording.
2. Tick 'over black' if you want the text superimposed on a black background.
3. Check the colour box to bring up the colour picker - this allows you to choose a text colour.
4. If you don't tick 'over black' then you can superimpose the title over a clip - in your case this is what you would do.
5. Drag the blue 'T' beside the title-style you have chosen to the Clips Viewer (NOT THE TEXT ITSELF). Position it just before the clip you want to employ for the title.
Here's a useful link:

Hope this helps.

  • IPhone won't activate after updating to iOS7... even after connecting to iTunes...

    my iOS7 wouldn't budge after updating so I performed the silly mistake of doing a system restore. It updated but now my iPhone won't activate! Do you think it's the servers? I'm perfectly connected to my wifi and my phone is connected to iTunes!

    Yeah... Thanks! It finally managed to pull through... ugh... was getting slightly worried because I needed it for something important at the moment... but thankfully it's okay now.

  • Powerbuilder won't activate after upgrade

    We currently have PowerBuilder 12.5 installed on a Windows XP machine.  This was licensed and activated properly.   So we tried to install 12.5.2 on a new Windows 7 machine.  After upgrade, when I ran Powerbuilder, it came up as unlicensed (or as evaluation version).  I went to the SAP site and regenerated a new license key for my machine and applied it, but it just won't activate.  There are three options for us to choose:
    New System    
    Display System
    Edit System
    We first tried the 'New System' option since it is an upgrade to 12.5.2 on a new machine (which we intend to move to).  However, the option for us to choose from the 'Product version' or 'System Type' simply won't show any drop down option for us to choose, nor does it allow us to enter.  Hence, we tried the 'Display System' and downloaded the license to update license.  It just won't activate.
    Has anybody ran into this issue and how was it solved?

    Hi All,
    I finally got a response from Nina who gave me the instruction on how to upgrade.  I followed the instruction to 'Edit System' instead of 'New System', and not use IE.  The reason I could not see drop down was due to IE 11 (have to use IE9 or before).  Now my PowerBuilder 12.5.2 was upgraded successfully.
    Thanks all, especially Nina.
    Regards

  • Sed an iPad from someone and I want to go into App Store to update apps, but when I click on the update button, the previous owners' apple Id username appears and it won't take my apple id password. How do I replace their username w/ mine?

    I purchased an ipad from someone and i set up my apple id for it but when i go to the app Store to update apps, i click on the update button for an app, the previous owners' apple Id username appears and it won't take my apple id password.

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

  • Hello, i really need help. I had just updated my iphone 3gs to 6.0.1, and after I updated, it won't activate.

    Hello, i really need help. I had just updated my iphone 3gs to i.o.s. 6.0.1, and after I updated, it won't activate.I tried it in itunes and it always says " We cannot activate your iphone at this time..." and when I activate using Wi-Fi, it says, "Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable." I could swear that my Wi-Fi is fine, and my Itunes is on the latest version.  Is this a bad thing or does this normally occurs? Can I still fix this ? I'm so desperate to use my iphone cause I use it everyday for personal purposes. I sure would appreciate any tip or help . PLSSSS ! Thank you for that wonderful being that can help.

    Do not take it to a third party repair shop - downgrading causes problems and voids your warranty.
    I had to unlock it so that i could really use it as a phone.
    And that is the root of the problem. Unless you had your carrier unlock it, it was hacked and cannot be legitimately activated. Even if you don't care about warranty or problems, downgrading simply will not help an activation issue.

  • Add Help Button to JDialog title pane

    I would like to add a help button just before the close button on my JDialog title pane. I have a working solution (rewriting the title pane code for JInternalFrame), but I'd like to get access to the real JDialog title pane code and just extend that, so I don't have a lot of maintenance on the code.
    As best as I can tell, the JDialog title pane code is natively written. I'm hoping that this is not the case and I'm just not finding the right class.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I think this is a windows toolkit thing and can't be dochanged in java/ Could be wrong tho

  • 4S won't activate after iOS 5.1 update

    Updated yesterday.
    Update finished but my iphone 4s keeps asking me for configuration and won't activate.
    I select the wireless network. Connection is fine. Even SIM unlock happens.
    It says it is OK to use it now. I click on it and it returns back to configure screen again.
    It is in a loop.
    Configure-You can use it-Configure-You can use it-Configure and on and on.
    I restored the iphone using iTunes but no lock. If I restore it from backup or icloud backup the situation is the same.
    If I set it up as new iphone I can open it but this time I loose everything.
    I have backups but I cannot use the phone if I install them.
    This is really frustrating.
    Can I get back to 5.01 somehow. I want to use my phone and I don't want to lose my data.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    The backup you have does matter (icloud or itunes. The moment you restore from it, you are in the loop. I don't know if Siri has anything to do with it or not but mine was off.
    I talked to Apple for 50 minutes. We tried many things, no joy. The last words were that there were more people like us and if the number were enough Apple would develop and publish an update. What they suggested is to wait until the update is released, install the update and then make the restore from backup. It would work then.
    Please call Apple and create a case. We need numbers.
    I hope they take us seriously and correct this grave mistake as soon as possible.
    For those who have iCloud backup, the following works:
    Set the phone up as new device.
    Go to Settings and iCloud.
    Enter your iCloud account.
    It will ask if you would like to merge.
    If you say yes, you could at least get your contacts back.

  • App Store updates won't download after selecting the 'Update" button.

    I received a notification that I had a couple of updates on the App Store. I'm running 10.6.8 on an Early 2009 iMac 9,1. After entering my account information I selected the "update" button for both apps. The button fades to indicate it has been selected and the spinning circle of dashes begins....but then nothing. I have tried multiple solutions. I have rebooted my cable modem. Restarted the machine. Checked my bandwidth to verify connectivity and all is good on my end. Any idea what is preventing the download process?
    Thanks in advance.

    A firewall?

  • Fonts won't activate in Mac OS X 10.4.6

    Ever since I performed a Mac OS X combo update (10.4.6) my fonts won't activate in Suitcase 10. Here is the statement that shows up when I try to activate a font: "There are fonts in the suitcase Armada that conflict with fonts in the System Fonts Folder. You must remove the fonts from the System Fonts folder and restart before you can activate these fonts with Suitcase."
    I did not have this problem before I updated from 10.4.4 to 10.4.6. The System fonts folder does not have a conflict or any fonts that don't belong.
    I went to the Extensis help site and deleted the font cache files as suggested. Still not working. Any ideas?
    PowerMac G4 933Mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Is your Armada font a single PostScript font, or is it a TrueType suitcase? If it's the latter, there may be multiple fonts in the suitcase. The 10.4.x combo updates put a modified version of Courier into the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder. If your Armada font contains a copy of Courier, that would be the conflict.
    Do you have any way of examining the contents of the suitcase? If you have it (you can also download a trial copy), open the font with Font Doctor. You would launch Font Doctor and then press Command+D. Click on the button (either one) that says "Open Font Suitcase File". Choose the Armada font. If there are multiple fonts in the suitcase, you will be able to see what they are.
