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.

  • "Edit" Functions Grayed Out and No Longer Work

    I have CS5 and have used it for several years now and it has served me well but suddenly, I find that many options (such as most "Edit" options within it are noy grayed-out and non-functional. I've uninstalled it and re-installed but the problem is still there. I can no longer find a phone number to get tech help like I used to and am now totally stuck with a useless product. Does anyone know a fix here?

    Jerry, thanks for the screen shots. As JJMack said, a preference reset might work. You might want to go to actions>edit on your post and remove the second picture. Looks like it has some personal info on it.
    Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

  • I am the administrator of my computer with other family members having accts. One member is grayed out and no one can access that acct.  Why and what do I do about it?

    I am the administrator of my iMac with other family members having accts.
    One members acct. is grayed out and cannot be accessed by anyone except him.
    I had put parental controls on it but now I cannot access it or change anything.
    I don't have permission.??

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Playback Settings grayed out in Premiere CS6 trial?

    As I wait for my serial numbers to come in, I am starting with the Production Premium CS6 trial.
    I would like to have my second monitor show full screen, but the Playback Settings in the dropdown menu is grayed out.
    Is this a "trial" limitation?

    It is really really annoying in this new forum format that one does not know..who one is responding to.
    This must be fixed for ease of communication and understanding.
    Actually..I have no 3rd party and in fact...I was wrong...
    I confused the fact that I had my 2nd monitor working with the "greyed out  issue".
    I am greyed out as Colin B reasoning points out.  Not an issue.
    I will be reinstalling 3rd party hardware soon to see what it does for me.

    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    Symptoms
    In rare instances, the setting to turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may appear grayed out or dim. You may see the following when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
    If this occurs, you can't turn Wi-Fi on, and when you try to turn Wi-Fi on, your device won't respond. If you're using iOS 7, Wi-Fi may appear to turn on and off in Control Center, but Wi-Fi won't respond.
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.

  • TS1559 iOS: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

    I have done everything from "Reset Network Settings" to "Erase All Content and Settings" and finally restoring the iOS Software (7.0.6), but the Wi-Fi settings are still grayed out. Bluetooth is also not getting enabled. Can anyone suggest what can be done?

    If that fails, the device has a hardware fault.

  • Help! Upload 8.1 on my iPad 2 and now I can't get any wifi nor can I reset any settings.  When I try to go on my iCloud it is all greyed out and no longer recognizes my password.

    I also can't turn off "Find my iPad" on iTunes in order to do a restore. 

    Try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10 seconds. After the iPad restarts, see if you can get into your settings.
