Updated Nano software - Library "grayed out"
Hi,
Hoping someone can help. I have a shuffle and nano and have had no trouble to date synching with my windows xp itunes.
Tonite I installed the latest version of the nano software (1.10.2006), and now when I double click the nano icon in itunes, all of the songs and playlists are grayed out. I can update the ipod, but can't click on anything within the list. For example, if I wanted to delete a song on the nano, I can no longer do it.
Any thoughts?
is your nano in disk mode?

Clusters available in update components software library
Hi Experts,
How do the Solaris patch clusters available in the update components software library compare to the Critical Patch Update cluster released by Oracle? The clusters available in OC seem to reflect more than one per month. I’m not used to dealing with patch clusters in this way as before using OC; we’d manually apply patches to our servers using the latest recommended Critical Patch Update available for download on MOS which are released quarterly.
Thanks,
DJC@ytheekshana
Since the update is just being rolled out, you will need to use PCC or Bridge for Mac, this is based on other updates on other phones, there isn't an specific date as to when it'll be released OTA.

Music on library grayed out/Itunes purchases being made twice
Songs are grayed out on my Itunes library. They were deleted from my Nano when I synced it, and I can't put them back on. I tried deleting one of the songs off my library and re downloading it, but Itunes just charged me for it a second time. This isn't the first time I've been charged for a song that didn't actually end up on my library. I want to find a way to get the grayed songs back on to my Ipod and get my money back for the songs I was never even given.
Is the computer authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with?
Is the device backing up to iTunes on the computer or iCloud? If backing up to iCloud purchases do not automatically transfer, the user must manually select Transfer Purchases. -
I have followed directions to transfer my vault to a new HD. It is grayed out, despite doing all requisite steps beforehand. If I get 'info' on Aperture the lock icon shows and I cannot change it to unlock.
I think you may be getting confused by the 'Lock'.
The vault is locked in the files system to prevent accidental deletion.
The reason the 'Update Vault Path' is greyed out is because it is still detecting the original vault on your system.
Here's a simpler process.
Restart your system (Aperture may still have a reference to the vault and this will clear it).
Make sure you have copied the vault to the new location.
Move the vault to trash. It will warn you the file is locked. Continue to move it anyway.
Empty your system trash. It will warn you the trash has locked files. Continue to empty anyway.
Now the old vault is gone from your system, in Aperture, the vault will show as disconnected and you can update the vault path:
You can then Navigate to the new location:
And the vault will reconnect and show the available storage of the new drive:
I suspect you are following advice about trying to remove the lock. But this is not necessary, the lock means you'll simply get warnings when deleting (assuming you have permissions to delete), but you can jsut override these warnings. If at any stage you get an error saying the file is in use, just reboot and retry that stage.

IPhoto library grayed out, or disappears
Because my old iMac has such a tiny hard drive, I have to keep my iPhoto library on an external hard drive. This seems to create troubles like:
1) Sometimes when I start up iPhoto, the iPhoto library is missing.
2) Other times, the library is there, but it's grayed out.
I have a second external hard drive that I keep a backup on. My current situation is that when I try to open iPhoto using my original library, it's grayed out. When I open the library in the Finder, it is not. I tried copying the iPhoto library from my backup external drive to the original external drive, but it failed. Currently I'm using the backup version to look at my pictures, but I want to get the library back on my primary external drive before I add any pictures or make changes. I have about 10,000 pictures and I've already lost a year's worth of pictures and metadata on even more due to the library disappearing.
Questions:
1) What can I do to keep the library from either disappearing or becoming grayed out?
2) Why won't the library copy to the original external drive from the backup?
3) What can I do to resolve my current issue with the least risk of losing my backup version?
(Using iPhoto of iLife '08)My current situation is that when I try to open iPhoto using my original library, it's grayed out.
What method are you using to select the Library? Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'? If so, iPhoto won't open this Library because it does not see a valid Library file there.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
When I open the library in the Finder, it is not.
Do you mean by clicking on the Library Icon? In iPhoto 08 this simply opens the +last opened library+ not necessarily the Library you click on.

I upgraded to iPhoto 08 and now cannot go directly to my photos as the iPhoto library icon in "Pictures" is grayed out. I can get it off my external drive. This means that I cannot attach a photo in my web based email, neither Yahoo or Gmail, from my Mac because I cannot get to the file. I end up going to the mounted HDD to accomplish this task. I used to be able to do this with iPhoto 6 and would prefer to do so as I do not always have the drive mounted. Any ideas?

One of the problems with posting into a thread is that you can easily be missed. Especially when you say
I am also having a similar issue.
But it's not. The OP on this thread was talking about accessing files in the Finder, you're dealing with a damaged database.
Some things to try:
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails, then it's likely that your database file is damaged.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.

Whenever I invoke iTunes (doesn't matter if I'm opening the program or simply undocking it), my library is gray, and the little "cloud icon" next to "Music" has a horizontal lightning bolt in it.
If I click on the cloud icon with the bolt (which doesnt respond consistently, somtimes takes 3 or more clicks) it will change to animated diagonal stripes. When this is finished (takes 10 seconds to 10 minutes), I have access to my library.
Sometimes it lets me get through an album before the process restarts. Sometimes I have to go through this between each song. Generally, I perform the process for the first two songs, and then it will play the rest of the album uninterrupted.
Internet connection is always fine, I have confirmed in several instances.
I have added screen shots below... I couldn't add the "working library" step, because as of writing this, I can't get past step 2. So no music for me this morning.
BELOW: Greyed out library, step 1
BELOW: Animated striped icon, library still greyed out, step 2Thanks for the reply. Did this just now, and no change.
FYI- I have deauthorized and reauthorized, signed out of my iTunes account, deleted pLists, etc before posting here. None of which affected the problem. -

IPhoto update auto check option grayed out
in iPhoto>Preferences>General.
How do I enable it?Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try the checkbox again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Grayed out, unplayable songs and missing album art on iPhone after 5.1 update with iTunes 10.6
I have been having these problems on my iPhone since the above updates. First, the grayed out songs: I have my iTunes account set to sync over the air with wifi. I charge my iPhone overnight, but sometimes when I unplug the iPhone in the morning, a great majority of the songs get grayed out and unplayable. I can see the songs listed, but they don't play. I then have to sync the iPhone on my iMac in iTunes to enable all the grayed out songs to be re-copied to the iPhone. As if that isn't inconvenient enough, I now am encountering missing album art for every song on my iPhone. All the album art exists in my iTunes account on my iMac, but I can't get the album art to appear on my iPhone. This literally happened overnight one day ago and I can't figure out how to get the album art back. I do have sufficient storage space on my iPhone, so that possible explanation is eliminated.
Re: the grayed out songs: what is causing this and is there any way to avoid it?
Re: the missing album art: again, what is causing it and how can I restore the art to my iPhone?Unfortunately, the only solution to this problem was to restore my iPhone. Many hours later, the problem was resolved, but for how long?

Several months ago, I kept getting prompted to 'update' my iphoto library. When I finally clicked on the 'update' button, it 'greyed out' ALL of my photos. Now ALL of my photos are grayed out and I can't see ANY of my pictures unless I click on each grayed out photo individually and open them, ALL of the thumbnails are greyed out. It is THE WORST!! I have no idea how to fix this problem and its been MONTHS AND MONTHS of *** pain. Anyone?? Please help!!!
Thanks so much!!!Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
and please tell us what version of iPhoto and of the OS you have

When I attempt to use Software Update, then go to 'Update All', I am then prompted to enter the password for my Apple ID, however my Apple ID does not come up as complete, and it is 'grayed out' and I cannot change it, therefore it is impossible for me to update my software. How can I change the Apple ID to the correct ID?
You need to delete the application and then download it from the desired Apple ID.

I downloaded Adobe immigration software for Aperture, opened Lightroom, but the Aperture library was grayed out so it couldn't be selected to import. How do I get it to work? I only have a few days left on the test version of Lightroom to see how it works with my Aperture library.
Gracias photo-enthusiast por tu respuesta pero hay docenas de de usuarios que tienen esta mismo problema, me da la sensación que nos tomas por gagas que no tenemos ni idea de lo que tenemos entre manos.
Me alegro enormemente que no hayas tenido tu este problema. -
I have an iPod touch 4G. I have been trying to skype with my friends with skype 5.0 and I was the only one that could not download it. Then I researched why and it says I need iOS 5.0. I then went back to research how to download it and on here it says that it should be in setting under general and then you will see software update. That if I don't have any room I will see download and install grayed out. But not even software update is there. There's no button. It basically does not exist on my iPod 4. Why is this?
That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
