CS3 (XP sp3) My "develop settings" vanish or are grayed out!?

I have CS3 installed at my studio and home.
It's been fine, but after a couple months use, at my studio if I right click on a thumbnail to apply the "previous settings" from another image to a group or other single image, the "Develop options" when I right click on the thumbnail has disappeared? (sometimes it appears on SOME images... usually it's gone). Now this happened at home too. (two different machines.
CLICKING EDIT at the top menu and selecting DEVELOP SETTINGS, opens another menu that has ALL the options (faded - grayed out).
My normal work flow is to tweak one image in camera raw, click DONE and then select all like images and APPLY PREVIOUS CONVERSION -
this has now stopped on both machines - it's literally driving my business to a hault! I'm using Bridge 2.1.1.9 it says
I've seen others have this same problem, but I didn't see any solution.

I haven't done your reboot or re-set options yet. (doesn't seem like I need to - as I'm trying other things to try and track down the problem).
So far here's what I've tried.
I went to an older directory and bridge worked fine as it should on all these images.
I went back to the problem dir... (same thing) no develop option on most image. (not all).
So - I created a new dir... "test" and copied 25% of the images that were having problems into the new dir. Went in there with bridge and (so far it's working fine). STRANGE.
(when I click on a image, it brings up camera raw... 4.5 and works fine... bridge stays in the background). WHEN I HAVE THE PROBLEM - clicking the image brings up CS3 in the background behind bridge.
I have no idea why.... still trying to see what causes it.
I'll continue to copy all the files into the new dir and see if I can make it happen again...
will advise as I progress.

Airplay settings on AppleTV 3 grayed out.

I'm trying to set up my computer for mirroring but the airplay settings are grayed out and won't allow me in to set it up.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

That's the weird part, it's not. It's on and running, otherwise, perfectly.
Let me clarify something that I forgot to include that might be important. The Airplay settings that I'm talking about is the one located in "restrictions" area under the "accessibility" folder.
Does that help?

Under Settings Facetime and iCloud grayed out

On my iPhone5 under settings, both the iCloud and Facetime are grayed out? I cannot make Facetime calls? Anyone got an idea?
Thanks,

Check to see if iMessage is activated too. They work together and if iMessage is not activated, then Facetime will error as well. See if making this change helps.

Sync Settings are Grayed out

I cannot sync my settings from my desktop to my laptop.
Prefs are grayed out and have no option to log-in to enable them.
When I choose Manage Account, it just has me log-in to creative cloud in my browser and views my files.
Mac OS X 10.9.2
InDesign CC v9.2
Thank You!

The issue appears to be that you're not signed in to your Adobe ID. In the dialog box you posted, it says "Signed In As: Not Signed In"
Go to the Help menu and sign in with your Adobe ID.
Sync Settings only works to sync between two computers which are both signed into the same Adobe ID.

Sync Settings... Grayed out for Teams accounts?

I'm starting to deploy CC for Teams to 19 team members and have noticed on the first two that Sync Settings are grayed out in Illustrator. Both workstations so far are running OS X 10.6.8, as are 13 of 19 workstions soon to be upgraded to 10.8, so the Adobe Creative Cloud application has not been installed. One workstation was a clean install after uninstalling CS5 and test installs of Illustrator and InDesign CC (to verify PKG files created locally), then some additional clean up using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to make sure I'd gotten everything; the other workstation has CS5 and CC apps installed side by side at the moment.
I have a personal CC account installed on an iMac running 10.7 and an Air running 10.8, and the Sync Settings options came up as soon as I launched Illustrator on the Air. No clean install needed, just uninstalled CS6 to save space on that laptop. I assumed this feature would be availble to CC for Teams accounts, am I correct on that assumption?
Any additional prefs or cache to purge?
Thanks,
Heath

You need to make sure that the clints have access through the firewall.
This doc should outline all the details for you.

Are you able to log in to the Creative Cloud App on the clinet machines with one of the Team Seat holders AdobeID?

Planning App Settings - Shared Services URL grayed out

I am int he process of doing a clean install of epm 11.1.2.2. I have created a planning app in and the shared services url under application settings is incorrect. The name of the RDB server was picked up instead of the planning server. I need to change this because lcm is unable to get artifact listing for planning app. Does anyone know how or where I would go to change this? The operating system is Windows 2008 R2 with a MSSQL for the RDB.

Hi John,
I tried unregistering and reregistering, logged into the app through workspace which didn't change anything. I haven't been able to locate the url to connect directly to planning. Can you help? Also, I wanted to mentioned that in the earlier version of planning, 11.1.1.2, the shared services URL is not grayed out. When I saw that I thought it might be a security issue but the user has full rights.
Thanks,
Mike

My settings vanished and are replaced by another user's settings from another windows login. how do I get my settings back? Thunderbird also affected!

My daughter and I have separate windows logins on the same computer. We both use Firefox. Today, when my daughter logged off and I logged on, all of my settings (persona, bookmarks, history, etc) were gone and replaced with hers. My settings are correct in Internet Explorer but Firefox and Thunderbird are using her settings all of the sudden. How do I get my settings back? I have lost all of my emails and everything.

You have something else on that PC that keeps installing that Yahoo crap, it sure as hell isn't Mozilla. Google is and always has been Mozilla's partner for search engines.

How to manage settings so account are logged out of when browser is closed.

Before the last update, when I closed the browser all of my accounts were logged out of. That is no longer the case and I don't know how to fix the settings to bring it back to the way it used to be.
I am in private browsing and tried the about:config trick where I set browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to either 1 or 2: it didn't work.

There are separate downloads for the two plugins, but Adobe has made updating smoother by installing an auto-updater that handles both. It only seems to run when I restart Windows, but that might be configurable (I haven't checked). Anyway, no worries on interference, they coexist quite happily.
(When downloading any Flash player, be careful not to install unwanted additional software such as security suites...)

UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) settings are grayed out

I recently purchased an APC Back-UPS ES 450. The APC software is not compatible with Leopard, but that shouldn't matter because Leopard has built-in UPS support. However, looking at the UPS settings after plugging the usb cable into my laptop, it seems there is some sort of compatibility issue.
I've posted a screenshot here: http://www.hover.ca/ups.jpg
I'm aware of a previous posting here with the same issue (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6917927), but it was never resolved.
Any help would be wildly appreciated!

OK - so I was on the phone with APC tech support for over an hour trying to solve the problem - they were really helpful, even had a software guy looking into it while I waited, but the bad news is that they were totally stumped as well. Some important insights did come out of it, however.
1) It turns out some other UPS models from different companies are subject to the same issue. So the common denominator is the Mac OS.
2) I'm running Windows XP on Parallels, so the tech asked me to install the APC Powerchute software there. Installed without a hitch and I was talking to the UPS right away. This didn't make a difference on the Mac side though. So that again points to the Mac OS as the root of the problem.
My 2 cents: APC should never have relied on Apple to take care of the software side. Apple has alot of balls in the air and probably isn't too worried about rare cases like this. But it sure as **** makes a difference to APC, because, while I won't be abandoning my Mac OS anytime soon, I will most definitely be returning this APC unit in exchange for something that explicitly support Mac OS 10.5. And in all likelihood my relationship with APC is over.
Anyway, thanks to everyone here who chimed in on my problem!
Cheers,

Ichat settings grayed out after 10.6.4 update

I just updated from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4. I quit all services prior to installing the update. I ran the update, the machine restarted. I logged in and ran disk utility and repaired permissions. I restarted all services, but noticed ichat was already started and there is no option in Server Admin to Stop ichat. Also, all settings for ichat are grayed out.
I tried running 'sudo serveradmin settings jabber' from terminal and get the following:
jabber = emptydictionary
I can start and stop ichat through terminal, but I have no control of ichat through Server Admin.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
The server name is currently
Current HostName = 66-195-146-6.static.twtelecom.net
as it gets its host name from the reverse lookup on the IP address you give the server. To ensure the server works at it was designed to, you need to have your ISP change they reverse record for your IP address 66.195.146.6 to the name users.tailored.com. Then rerun the command *sudo changeip 66.195.146.6 66.195.146.6 66-195-146-6.static.twtelecom.net users.tailored.com* and it should clean up your server settings and hopefully fix the problem with the ichat settings being grayed out.

Develop Settings and DNG files...where is the info stored?

I just converted my Nikon NEF files to DNG. Previously I saved all changes I would make to my photos in the XMP sidecar files. I'm confused how things are working now because I thought those same changes would be saved to the DNG file.
Now that I use DNG files, when I make adjustments to the develop settings in LR, are those changes ONLY saved to the catalog? Or is there a way to save them into the DNG file so I can bring them to LR on another computer and see my changes? I feel like when I had XMP files before with my RAW files, the develop settings were saved there in addition to the catalog, so my changes came with me... Maybe I'm wrong though.

>Each of my RAW files also has a corresponding 10KB XMP file.
These are known as XMP sidecars and are applicable only to proprietary raw files (e.g. CR2, NEF, etc). Adobe have a policy of not writing anything back into a proprietary raw file (exception being date/time stamp) because the proprietary data tends to be undocumented. The XMP sidecar provides a safe documented means of storing the metadata corresponding to each proprietary raw file.
> I understood that the metadata is written to the file itself, but apparently only to DNG JPG and Tif files - right?
Correct
>So, if this is correct, then all metadata except that originally written by the camera is saved in the XMP file on RAW files?
For proprietary raw files the metadata is written into the XMP sidecar, but for the other formats you mention it's written "into" the XMP block of the actual file.
> Is the XMP file the information used by the Catalog? If I open a RAW image in Photoshop CS3 will the XMP information be read and applied when the file opens?
Yes to both questions

How to sync captured JPEG to original video: Are there some Develop settings that won't transfer?

I'm starting with the corrected JPEG and then highlighting the original video so they are both selected, but the JPEG settings are not applied to the video when I Sync Settings -- things like color, sharpening, and noise reduction.

SInce I don't see how to delete my question, I'll answer it.
My first syncs were from Quick Develop. After I made more adjustments in Develop I forgot to add them to the sync list. But, now that I'm doing it over, I see that anytime I have a video included in the set to sync, noise reduction, sharpening, and other settings aren't available (grayed out). Which says to me: if the sdjustments aren't available when a video is open in Quick Development, then they can't be made.
It's nice that we can get good-lucking captured JPEG frames, but I thought the whole idea was supposed to be a work-around, where further adjustments COULD be made to videos by syncing to the JPEGS. As this was one of the main reasons I upgraded to LR4 immediately (because I had a pending video project), I'm quite disappointed to find LR4 is still so limited in its video processing capabilities!

CS5 Playback Settings grayed out and no longer can set playback on external monitor.

I like to view my projects while editing on an external monitor but the Playback Settings are grayed out. I've done all my prior projects with external monitor display enabled with no problems and can go back to a prior projects completed and view them using an external playback monitor. For some reason, the Playback Settings on my latest project are grayed out and I'm not able to set Desktop Video Display During Playback.
The last project worked on was about 3 months ago. Last week, I started working on two new projects and noticed that I wasn't able to set playback to my external monitor. All my devices are hooked up and I can review older projects on the external monitor but can't set two new projects to use display on the external monitor.
Anyone have any ideas?
Problem solved. My fault.
The Sequence Preset Settings selected must support the device the external monitor is connected to. In my case, IEEE 1394 firewire. I corrected the new project to the correct Sequence Settings and can now view playback on the external monitor.

"The Desktop Video 9.7.5 software update allows users to take advantage of many new features in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications such as powerful new editing timelines and shortcuts and audio mixing with Adobe Premiere Pro® CC and new creative and visual effects tools with Adobe After Effects® CC."
So everything should be covered on that front. And as I listed, I was getting playback out of AE CC, so I feel it is solely an issue in Premiere. That was worth checking out though since CC is so new. Thanks for replying.
