Why is the Compare Document Feature is greyed out?

Hello Everyone,
    I am trying to compare two very similar large documents.  I want to use the compare document feature but it is greyed out.  What would cause this to happen?
Thanks
Derek L.

Here's what happened and worked for me.  My solution, observations and recomendations.  I have FCPX 10.0.9
After creating a 2 minute plus video feature , I discovered I could not export (share) the project.  The share option was greyed out.  Also greyed out was the File> 'Reimport from camera / Archive' option some have suggested as a solution.  There were no errors or any indication why this was happening, which is a huge problem with this editing software and I will address that below.
My problem was isolated to exporting (sharing) one timeline (project) so, reinstalling the entire program was not a logical option.  This is what I had to do...
I was faced with the prospect of chasing my tail for weeks on end hoping that I could find an answer buried deep within the FCPX manual or online but, what I did instead was, the grueling task of creating a new project and copying clip by clip from the non-share project and pasting each clip into the new project until I found which clip or clips were the problem.  Each time I pasted into the new project I would look to see if the 'share' menu was greyed out.
By doing so, I did indeed isolate the bad (?) clip in the new project and what I did in the 'non-share' project was simply reimport that one video clip.  Like magic the non-share project was able to export (share).  Share menu no longer greyed out.
This taught me a valuable lesson.  1.) FCPX does NOT always give you the ability to isolate a clip it, for whatever reason, does not like.  Meaning, you're up the creek without a paddle when export / share time comes.  Huge, huge problem that needs to be addressed.
2.) My humble recommendation is to ALWAYS check your 'Share' menu as often as you can tolerate. Specially those of you producing long projects. It's a pain but, if there is just one clip FCPX doesn't like you will NOT be able to export project.

    Okay - just realised that the last screen was just asking for a "title" for my question!
    I have Adobe Acrobat XI standard, but would like to trial the "compare documents" feature on Pro. I tried to download a trial version of Pro, but the installer indicated that "it detected a more fully featured version of the product" - presumably my standard version? - and stopped installation. It is not clear to me what my options are for either upgrading to Pro, or selectively purchasing the "compare documents" plugin (if possible). I am using what is presumably an Enterprise version of acrobat (i.e. my employer owns it, not me) - so not sure what limitations that results in. I think this is a simple question, but would be grateful for advice.

    - You can't install Acrobat Pro alongside Acrobat Standard. You will need to remove Standard to be able to install Pro.
    - You (probably) can't upgrade your license if it's a part of an enterprise license. The entire license will need to be upgraded.
    - It's not possible to install just the "Compare Documents" function as a sort of add-on to Acrobat Standard.

  • Why is the "Write" (new message) button greyed out? I can't write any new emails.

    Having trouble generating any new emails; The Write button in the toolbar is greyed out. Does anybody know why?

    Try to reset default.
    Right click on the Write button and select 'Customise'
    click on 'Restore default set' button.
    click on 'Done to close window.
    Please check to see if any addons are conflicting by restarting in Safe Mode.
    Help > Restart with addons disabled.
    If it works in TB Safe Mode then maybe an addon is causing a conflict.
    You would have to enable all addons - restart as normal and then gradually disable each in turn to see which one is the problem.
    Please post image of the top section showing all the toolbars and their buttons.

  • Why is the "Sign Document" option not available in Reader 9.1?

    When I open a PDF in Reader 9.1 the "Sign Document" option is grayed out (unavailable) Is this option dependent on which version of Adobe Acrobat was used to create the PDF? As a test, I created a PDF in Acrobat Standard 8.1. I can sign the that PDF in Acrobat Standard 8.1 but I cannot sign the same PDF in Adobe Reader 9.1.

    I have adobe reader 9.1 and want to sign some documents.  The sign option isn't available and I don't have Acrobat professional.  Does that mean I can't use the free digital signature add-on?
    Thanks.

  • SCN document: 'Insert Image' greyed out at a certain stage/size

    I noticed  a similar issue likeTammy has reported in discussion/thread .Cannot insert or upload an image
    After having inserted text and several images to a draft document, the 'Insert Image' icon became greyed out at a certain stage/size.
    I did some tests following document Solution for Error: Cannot Insert Images on SCN Content, but the the behavior remained the same. Only after having deleted the last inserted image in the document > Save Draft > Edit again the 'Insert Image' icon was not greyed out anymore which is argueing for a size restriction.
    The same html coding as in the document put into a blog does not grey out the ‘Insert Image’ icon. But I found out that after clicking on the ‘Insert Image’ icon > ‘From your Computer’  tab ‘Browse’ is greyed out. Strange and argueing against a size limit is, when I choose ‘Uploaded Images’ I can select images and still  insert them into the blog.
    Does someone have similar experiences / can assist.
    Thank you, Barbara

    We have a recent discussion in SCN support.
    He has same problem. Have a look into the discussion Issue with 'Insert Image' button while creating document in SCN
    I suggest to split you document into two part as part 1 and part 2.

    Hi.  I'm trying to transfer purchases to update my iphone but the suggested options are either greyed out or don't exist.  How do I transfer purchases?

    Just to clarify -  When I follow the instructions to "transfer purchases from iphone to computer" prior to updating my iphone the options suggested are greyed out. The Transfer Purchases option under Devices in the File menu is greyed out. Can anyone explain why its greyed out and how I can make the option available?

  • EIM - 'New' button on the Inbox list pane is greyed out.

    I have had some problems with creating a new activity as an agent in EIM. This is for a new installation of Cisco EIM/WIM 4.3(1) integrated with UCCE 7.5.
    I have raised this with Cisco TAC. But they are still investigating.
    When I login as an integrated IPTA agent the 'New' button on the Inbox list pane is greyed out. Clicking on it does nothing. I am unable to create a new activity for an integrated user. There is no indication as to why it is not available. Receiving and replying to new inbound emails work fine.
    However when I login as a standalone agent the 'new' button is available in the Inbox list pane. And clicking on it works as expected.
    Should an integrated agent be able to create a new outbound email (activity) without replying to an existing one?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Hello Ashfaque,
    You didn't include a screen shot of your Queues.  I an integrated deployment you need to configure a Queue for outbound in order to map the MRD.  You will also need to assign a Concurrent Task Limit for this queue as well for groups / agents that you map to it.
    Looks to me as though everything else is configured properly.
    Instrictions for creating an Integrated Queue can be found in this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/cisco_interaction_manager/cim_43/user/guide/cisco_im431_cce_userguide_administration_workflow.pdf
    Page 24, "Creating Integrated Queues".
    This should solve your issue.  If you still have questions or problems re-post and I will be happy to assist.
    Thanks,

  • TS1398 After the 6.0.1. update on my iPhone 4s the option for wifi has greyed out and cannot be selected. What can I do to restore wifi?

    I have held off updated my iPhone 4s with the 6.0.1 but having problems connecting to wifi I thought maybe being out of date was the problem.
    Having done the update the wifi option is now greyed out and cannot be selected at all.  I have rebooted, forgotten networks and turned on and off so many times.  There is nothing wrong with the wifi at home as other devices connect no problem.  What can I do?

    I'll repeat the Apple support pages linked in the previous post:

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?
