Video content missing on ipad... play buttons greyed out

There was a similar thread but answer did not apply. I have videos that are fromatted to play on ipad and play in itunes well. When sync to ipad you can see the ipad increase in file size from the added video. When you open the video app to view the videos all is seen is greyed out video image with title underneath. click on that image, and the play button is greyed out. Even though the running time appears, the file size is 0. I know the content is on the ipad because it shows the space being used by those files. Where are they? i look in the music app, no luck.
I did plug in the ipad to computer and view the files that way (in left hand side of itunes where you view files on devices ) and those particular video files are greyed out there as well. Please help. So frustrating trying to find an answer.
I have tried deleting the files from ipad and resyncing did not work. Thanks

Update:
After further inspection: it seams the video contnet is not being transferred but only the video file image and title. Discovered this after unplugging and repluggin and saw the file size in ipad decrease because there were no video files. Thanks for you help
Still need a solution. Thanks

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Submit Button Greyed Out (v 4.0.5)

I have been using Compressor successfully for about a year. Recently it updated to v4.0.5. Now I am not able to submit, with the final Submit button greyed out. I have checked my Destination folder permissions and all appear correct.
What could be the cause of this, and what shall I do? I need to render a program urgently for broadcast.
Thanks
Geoff

I just resolved a similar problem. I am running OSX 10.6.8 on a MBP 13" 2010.
Once inside Compressor I'd click on "submit" and the drop down window would show "none" next to "Cluster:" and the submit button was greyed out.
I called Apple Care and they had me delete the preference file "com.apple.Compressor.plist" file from my user>library>preferences folder. This did not fix the problem on its own.
They then had me delete the Apple Qmaster folder from user>library>application support. This did not fix the problem on it's own.
I then reinstalled the Compressor application itself. This did not fix the problem on its own.
I then verified permissions and repaired permissions using disk utility. This did not fix the problem on it's own.
I then clicked on "Share Monitor" which is found on the Compressor task bar. "This Computer" was displayed in the left column. I simply clicked on it in order to high light it. I left the "Share Monitor" window open and went back to the submit panel and "This Computer" was now displayed next to "Cluster:" and the program is now working again.
YMMV.

Agent email help - buttons greyed out at one location

The setup: Two call centers. One in NC and one in CA.
The one in NC, which is where the call center servers are, has no issues with email buttons becoming active.
The one in CA, every morning when the agents login the email buttons will not become active unless the users do the following workaround
Start agent.
Run and IE url that was given to me by Cisco. http://<ipaddress of ccx server/EemUi/index.jsp?port=59015
This will force Java to start and have the java icon appear in the system tray.
Email buttons become active
Close IE window (which make email buttons grey out again)
close and restart agent
Email buttons work.
I only have this issue in the CA office.
I had them ship a desktop to me in the NC office. I connected it and did NOT have an issue. Everything works perfectly here.
Is the issue tied to the distance? Is there some java time out setting I can tweek to make this work.
I didn't have this problem with 8.5 su 2.... it happened after the update to su 3
Anyone seen this? Cisco has no answer.

I bounced this around the office to get some ideas. One question - how long is the CA office waiting for the email buttons to become active? That is, setting the workaround aside, if they wait long enough, do the Agent E-Mail buttons ever become active? The thinking is that could be a factor as the entire applet is around 40 MB. If connection speed isn't great it could take a while to download which would explain the scenario.

Put, Get , Connection buttons greyed out

Hi All,
I am pretty new to Dreamweaver but not to web development. I
have set up and connected a few sites from my own PC. It all goes
just like it says in the manuals.
But I got called into a client site who have an existing site
set up in Dreamweaver. The DW person left and the current person
wanted some coaching. Well the Code, Split, Design views all came
up and we could edit just fine.
But over on the right, above the list of files, all the
buttons (put, get, connection etc.) were greyed out. At first I
assumed the FTP connection was not set up, but it was, because when
we saved files, they saved straight to the live site.
So I went over to look at Site / Manage Sites. The FTP
connection was listed, but many of the other options (all the
categories within Advanced) did not seem to be available. They were
not just grayed out - I could not even see the list of them.
I have been fiddling around at home on my own sites, trying
to figure out how to recreate this and I can't. I can figure out
how to put myself onto live updating (update to remote FTP on Save)
but I don't get the other buttons greyed out just because I am
working like this.
Any ideas? I'd like to be able to go back there, take them
off live updates and restore the buttons.
Thanks
Abigail

Unless one is working in ColdFusion, or has special
requirements, the FTP &
RDS server option should never be used.

Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out

Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out. I have downloaded and installed Itunes 11 (multiple times) and restored my phone twice already, but I am still not able to sync my Iphone 4 with Itunes.
When I select / de-select Apps on Itunes to remove from the phone the "Apply" button does appear, but after I click it nothing happens. Then the greyed out "sync" button just appears again.
Anyone with some advise please?

Try Restarting or Resetting your touch.
Restart: Hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears and turn off your iPod. Press the sleep/wake button and hold it until you see the Apple icon.
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time. The red slider will appear first, keep hold everything until you see the Apple icon. Release the buttons.
Check your iPod and see if your music and apps have reappeared. If they do after either option, then resync your iPod.
If neither works, then Restore your touch through iTunes.

My wifi button greyed out...pls help

hi all users,,,my iPhine 4s wifi button greyed out suddenly
tried the temperature trick but problem persists
pls help anyone
thanks

Try the suggestions here to see if they resolve your problem:

If these don't work you probably have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

Hi, i am using iphone4s.. 2 days ago i had a problem with wifi.. button greyed out, it was suggested to keep phone in freezer, worked temporarily and i updeted to ios7.1 but still facing same problem.. wht to do? cant afford to throw off :/ huhh..

well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!

IChat video an audio buttons greyed out & contact list busted.

Hi folks...
I hope someone can help me. I just tried using my IChat again today and noticed that I can not make video or audio calls at all. Both buttons are completely
greyed out and disabled. Then again they sometimes reactivate and suddenly start working... why the sporadic randomness? Simple text chat is fine but video and audio buttons are dead.
Also I have non active and UNAUTHORISED contacts on my list that I just can not get rid of no matter what. I select the names.. go to EDIT/DELETE, they are removed only to re-appear a few seconds later in my list.
I noticed too that I do not have a com.apple.ichat.plist on my machine at all.. is this normal?
Thank you for your time..
Chris

Hi,
The first thing that strikes me is that this is a Jabber account.
You cannot Video to Non iChat sources.
That means not to GoogleTalk Buddies that are logged in via a web Browser or PC users logged in with the App called GoogleTalk or any other Jabber app on Mac or PC.
iChat Video with Jabber IDs is iChat to iChat only.
Also check the View Menu > Show Statuses
You can turn Off Show Video Status and your own Video icon will show but all your Buddies will display Audio Only icons
Turn that off as well and you get a Buddy List like yours (no green icons for Buddies).
This will effect AIM and Jabber Buddy Lists alike as well as the Bonjour one if you have it active.
Deleting Buddies
It should be a question of Highlighting them and using the backspace key and confirming the delete message that pops up.
Or using the Remove option in the Video menu.
However there are a couple of quirks that have to be looked into.
1) Any log in to the same Buddy list either on the same computer is a different App or on a different computer.
2) Any web Login that may be active.
2a) Active might be a site that has a delayed "Keep Me Logged in" option if you don't specifically Log out.
Both Google and AIM have default periods of two weeks which is then kept "alive" if you keep logging in a web browser or using an App on a phone.
As there is constant communication between the app and the servers the Buddy list is constantly and instantly updated as buddies come on Line or change Status or go Off line.
Another Login will keep telling the server that "this is my Buddy List" and replace names you are trying to remove.
Make sure you are logged out of any other login, iPhone app, Web Browser on phone or Mac or another computer.

Home Video Option Missing in Ipad Mini

Hi,
So I've had my ipad mini for almost 2 years and it has worked brilliantly until lately.
I've been uploading videos via itunes to my ipad and it shows up under Videos -> Home Videos.
So, most of the time I can just add new videos in and have no issues but lately I keep having this issue.
I will drag some videos from itunes into ipad but when i pop into my ipad section, it shows that the videos are not sync'ed in.
Then i will click sync and the next thing i know is, the memory bar at the bottom would indicate e.g. from initially 9GB of free space to 20GB of free space.
When I go to my physical ipad to access the videos, the "Home Video" option isn't even there. But the videos on itunes, on the ipad section still indicates they are there.
I've tried sync'ing again.
I've tried deleting all the videos and drag them back in and sync'ing but it doesn't work. The "Home Video" just doesn't come back.
My only solution so far has been to restore Ipad. Which literally erases all my data and sets it back to a completely new Ipad.
Depending on time and date of my backup sometimes restoring to backup date may or may not work.
Any idea what's the problem and how i can resolve this?
Help is very, very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Alfred, very curious update.
As I have said I have some home movies stored under Movies >Home Videos and yesterday I was talking with my duaghter-in-law about whether it would be possible to share this with her Ipad but couldn't come up with anyway to do that. I looked at Dropbox and Instashare but they don't, as far as I can see, allow me to access my home videos, they only seem to work with camera roll and purchased movies.
Anyway, this morning I was messing about with the Ipad Movies>Home Videos page nd by chance I touched the heading where my original 4 videos are displayed and suddenly the USA video appeared (nearly fell off my chair) and it worked OK. The date is shown as 23rd March 2014.
Back stepped and tried it a couple of times and it was OK. It would seem that the Ipad has stored the original 4 videos on one page and the USA one on another. The original 4 don't show any video content i.e the opening screen just a grayed box with a move film icon and the title whereas the USA video on the second page shows the opening screen shot.
It isn't possible to drag from one page to another I have to click the Home Videos title at the top of the page to move from one set to another.
It's great news I have my video after all but any clues as to what's happening? I would have thought it would fill the first page before going to a second. Is the clue perhaps in the way one set don't have the opening screen and the USA one does?
Also, any suggestions as to how I can share these with my daughter-in-law?

Missing Minimize Button (Greyed out, anyway)

Lately, I've noticed that many times my mail application's yellow "minimize" button is greyed out. The way I can minimize the application is with the apple=H (Hide) command. Then, later on, when I bring the application back on screen, there is the yellow minimize button.
I put this post in the mail thread, because that was the only application so affected. But this is not really true, any longer. I do notice it, but far less frequently, on iChat and Skype too.
Anyone know the causes and cures of this? Not really the biggest deal in the world, but it is an annoyance.
Kenny

I also experience this on many different applications, from Safari, to Mail, to Adium. It is indeed very frustrating and is always solved by quitting and re-opening the application.
I (and many of my friends) have had this occur in all different point releases of Tiger and I'm also seeing it in Leopard 10.5.1

Motion 5 Share/Export Buttons Greyed out

Hi, just got Motion 5 on it's own for a project we're doing in FCP7 and for some reason all the "next" or "share" buttons in the export menus are greyed out or disabled. We've messed with a lot of settings but to no avail.
Is there something I'm missing here? There's nothing written on the Motion product page about requiring Compressor or FCP-X to export and I haven't found anyone else online with this issue.

So there's nothing I can do to get this fundamental part of the software working? It's pretty stupid if it can't save.
The only option I have to take this higher is to get Apple Care video and that's $800 for something that appears to be a bug in Motion validating an external framework. From a software design perspective, the only reason that I'd want to grey those buttons is if there were a setting in each dialog that you needed to set before you could export or you were only using a trial version and you wanted to stop people from exporting it or if the dependent framework (e.g. ProApps export manager) wasn't validated in the registry within motion.
If they throw anything else at me like you need FCPX or Compressor or Lion then that's not right either since they had no mention of that on their website when I purchased it.
This is just really frustrating!

ITunes does not sync - button greyed out

I recently updated my 3gs to the new software, and my new ipad (3rd gen) is also running on the latest software. I also have the latest iTunes.
Up until 3 days ago, everything worked fine. Now however, whenever I plug either of them into my computer to sync some new music (or anything else) on, the sync button is greyed out.
So far I have tried :
Restoring my iphone [+ it seems my backup is missing all my apps/music]
Erasing ALL apple programs (itunes, updater, quicktime etc.), and then reinstalling [I've done this all twice now]
switching USB ports
Restarting both my computer and iPhone/iPad
Authorizing my computer again
I cannot drag and drop music onto my devices or use the sync button.
However none of these work for me. I now have nothing on my phone, and cannot put anything on it. This is incredibly irritating.
Im starting to get very angry with these products. Apple is supposed to be reliable is it not?
Someone please help me!

i am having a iusses a little different hoping you can help me, my computer did not crash it is finr, its a gateway, windows 8, i undated my itunes to the new version, and can't get my other one back, i plug my ippod shuffle into the usb port and nothing happens, i tunes doesnt pop up, my ipod icon doesnt come up in the new version of itunes i cant sync it to nothing, i have no idea how to add music and now clue how to use this itunes. i am getting a new ipod tomorrow and i have no clue how to add music to it now.. can you help me?

Sync button greyed out

I have hooked up my iPad to my computer but the sync button is greyed out. I have uninstalled all Apple components from my PC and reinstalled them and still there is nothing. My iPad is a 62gb and Im only using 39 gb so I know its not because Im over capacity. I have made sure the computer I'm using is authorized and even updated my payment info to make sure there wasnt any info lacking from my profile. I have reset both my PC and my iPad. At this point Im at a loss as to what else to try.
Also, I went into my computer and made a couple of new folders for my photos and iTnes recognizes them when I go to the section where I can choose which folders to sync.

Well, I've searched this and number of other forums, and I see that there're many people having similar problem, and that there's no working solution. Syncing is a very basic thing, and since its not working, and can not put any musing/photos/videos, etc.. on the device. This functionality is one of the main reasons i bouht these devices at the first place, so I wonder what people at Apple are thinking, when they're not releasing any fixes (the problem appeared first when iOS 5.0 was released).
Strange thing is that both devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are affected, and sync does not work on two different systems (Windows 7 and Max OSX).

Why is Submit Button Greyed Out on Compressor

Just recently, I have been unable to submit a video for compression. As always, I drag on the compression I want to use and select the destination. I hit the first submit buttn and the window drops down asking for the name of the batch. I enter the name but on this window the submit button is greyed out and I cannot submit the project for compression.
I looked at past instances of this problem and I downloaded and ran Compresser Repair 2.2, but the problem remains.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have never had this problem before.

Russ,
No worries. Yesterday, I brought the Apple Clean Install instructions to pointed out to me to my IT guy I had him do a clean intall of Compressor using the outline and the problem was solved. It took him an hour. It would have taken me 1/2 a day!
I did have one good bit of advice suggested by Jason Brown over at Creative Cow, but I didn't have time to research it - and my computer was already on my IT guy's bench. He said:
"Let me start by saying I'm not an expert...just a user, so I could be wrong. BUT I fixed my issue after installing fcpx, it moved compressor to a subfolder in applications, but not the Qmaster app. When I ran update, it updated Qmaster to 3.5.3 but compressor was just on 3.5 I took compressor out of that folder, ran update again and they were same version number. U can check version number by looking about under file menu. For Qmaster, select app, get info and its in there."
I think he is suggesting that Emaster and Compressor need simultanious updats, and to do that Apple has to be able to find the files. The fact that Apple has the clean install for Compressor so available and in multiple locations suggsts to me that this is a common problem.
One of the Creative Cow guys said that his production company does complete clean installs off all apps on all machines every 12 to 16 months!
Well, I declare this issue fixed, and thank you for all your help and advice. Hopefully, someone else will find this thread and it will be helpful to them.
Regards,
Barry
