What does the "Music and Sound Effects", "Photos", "Titles", etc. buttons turn grey and make unelectable?

I'm on into my first steps in iMovie 11 and I try to apply the things from the "Getting started" video tutorials. However when I come to the "import photos from iPhoto" I find all my buttons grey and unelectable. I checked preferences but I didn't find any parameter which relates to that topic.
I'm sure someone knows and I'd appreciate help on this.
Thanks in advance!
Peter

anyone any ideas to help??

  • What does the "add more sounds" in app purchase cost in GarageBand?

    I ask because there is no indication of the cost when Apple asks for my ID and Password. In IOS completing that would mean I own it.
    Thanks

  • What does the PopUp "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" really mean and if I check the Box, how do I undo this if this was the Wrong Thing To Do?

    What does the PopUp "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" really mean and if I check the Box, how do I undo this if this was the Wrong Thing To Do?
    Details
    Constantly, while using Firefox (Beta v 11.0), and/or ESPECIALLY, when I have my eMail @ Mail.com open, I get this PopUp stating: "For security reasons, restarting mail.com Mail is possible only via the mail.com Mail Service. Please close this window and restart mail.com Mail" BUT Then there is a CHECKBOX: "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs."
    I have no idea if Checking this Box is a Good Idea or if it will Screw-Up my mail.com Mail Service...
    Anyone have an answer or explanation of the Use of this Little Check-Box?

    You do not get any pop-up windows on that website if you tick that box.
    That setting is stored in the cache and you should see pop-ups again if you reload the page and bypass the cache.
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • What does the 'rtcli async executor process' process do on a Cisco ASA and why would it cause high CPU load?

    I noticed that the CPU on our ASA had jumped from around %4 to 30% consistently a few weeks back.  The process below seems to be causing the load, but I can't find any information on what it does and how to resolve the issue.
    ASA# sh proc cpu-usage sorted non-zero
    PC         Thread       5Sec     1Min     5Min   Process
    0x08a24505   0x1bdb0124    25.4%    25.6%    25.6%   rtcli async executor process
    0x081ecc51   0x1bdc0f3c     4.7%     4.3%     4.1%   Dispatch Unit
    0x08e4687c   0x1bdc0528     0.3%     0.3%     0.3%   ssm4ge_cfg_poll_thread
    0x08a496d0   0x1bdbecf8     0.1%     0.1%     0.1%   Unicorn Admin Handler
    0x0866d56e   0x1bdafd1c     0.1%     0.1%     0.1%   ARP Thread
    A little more background that has me concerned is that I have the exact time when the jump occurred.  Since that time, I've lost ssh access to the ASA and can only access it via Telnet internally or the ASDM.  I checked the certificates and a new one was generated exactly when the spike occurred.  I am unsure wether or not that was a system triggered certificate generation, or if I have a security issue I need to address.  Heartbleed maybe??  
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry I wasn't clear, but when I was asking about "not a lot of traffic", I was wondering about actual  volume passing through the 2811.
    When I asked about "kind of tunnels", I was wondering about how they are configured.  E.g. GRE or IPSec/GRE or VTI, encryption options, other tunnel interface options.
    Perhaps the easiest way to check for fragmentation, is packet analyze the traffic passing through the 2811.

  • What does the straight talk iphone 4 look like when you turn it on

    i was wondering what the Apple Iphone 4 for straight talk looks like when turning it on and off. LIke does it say straight talk?

    The only thing the iPhone displays regarding the carrier is the carrier name in the status bar near the signal on the left side. The iPhone does not display anything but the Apple logo when powering up.

  • Right, im going to a apple store tomorrow to get my phone fixed because my wifi button turned grey, and i still have warrantey on my phone, so i was wondering if i would have to pay any money?

    would it cost money?

    The button might be gray because airplane mode is on; if it is, turning it off will fix the problem

  • What does the "master password" do on a MacBook Air?

    I was looking around on the privacy settings on my MacBook Air, and I came across an option to set a "master password". This sounded safe, so I set a difficult one that was memorable for me. I'm just curious: What does the master password do? Why would I need one? and When can I activate it?
    Thanks

    OS X 10.6 and earlier versions
    Master Password can be used to reset login/administrator password without using Installation DVD.
    If the password is forgotten, try to login to your account and enter the any wrong password 3 times.
    "Forgot Password?" box will appear. Click it.
    Enter Master Password and the new login password  to reset it.
    OS X 10.7 and later versions
    You can use Apple ID to reset password in the newer version of OS X.
    Best.

  • I cannot hear the vocals on downloaded movies on Apple TV. Ithe background music and sound effects only. What can I do to fix  this please?

    I cannot hear the vocals on downloaded movies on Apple TV.
    I can hear the  background music and sound effects only.
    What can I do to fix  this please?

    Most movies have Dolby surround sound. Seems like you don't have all sound channels coming out of your speakers.
    Is the AppleTV connected to a receiver or to a TV?
    If you have a receiver that supports dolby surround you should configure the sound settings of the Apple TV and receiver accordingly.
    If it's connected to a TV the audio setting "Dolby Digital" in the Apple TV should be set to off.

  • I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects.  I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

    I am using logic to record a podcast.  I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time.  I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects.  I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast.  Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it?  Thanks.

    Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

  • I have been working on an iMovie project. I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on to continue working and entire section of about 80 photos was gone. The music attached to these photos remains. Can I retrieve this work?

    I am at Snow Leopard and have only played a bit in IMOVIE - so can't speak for Mavericks - but -
    In general as I work a lot in Photoshop - when you are happy with something save it and continue on - If you have Time Machine Running and you want to try things next that may or may not work - force a time machine backup - that way the version you are happy with will be available for 24 hours (and wish this was a setting one could extend) 
    If you turn off your mac - or end a program without consciously saving something you may lose what you worked on.
    If IMOVIE did not ask if you want to recover what you were doing your update may be gone - but try posting new question - asking about automatic backups in IMOVIE and how they work.
