How to access Invert if it is grayed out?

I can't select Invert - it is grayed out.  I'm on page 112 (Lesson 4 Layer Basics) of the Classroom in a Book. Am following instructions step by step and working with Layer Styles but how to enable Invert?

You need an image layer, or layer mask selected in order to use Invert.  The image layer should not be locked, unless it is the background layer.  i.e. you can invert the Background layer despite it being locked, but you can't invert other image layers if they are locked.
The layer lock icon is at the top of the layers panel, and looks like a little padlock

  • I am showing 9 tabs open and I cannot access other websites (they are grayed out when I clock on them).  How do I close tabs?

    I was working on calendar and opened too many tabs.  I am showing 9 tabs open and it affects other sebsites I am now trying to access.  The webpage is grayed out and non-accessible.  I do not need all the tabs.  How do I close them?

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • "Access Control - Do Not Inherit" Grayed out when setting up a backup on Server 2008 R2 when trying to use remote NAS

    I see one response here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c99eead0-e2fc-4c83-8cb2-959d03512667/server-2008-r2-dc-backup-greys-out-do-not-inherit-option-for-file-share-backup
    But it makes no sense to me. Running that command doesn't do anything.
    How do I make the box stop graying out when setting up a backup with the GUI interface? This should be really simple I would think and for some reason the backup utility is graying out the "Do Not Inherit" option so I can backup to the NAS
    device that has access control enabled in order to backup to the NAS.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    From this article, it mentioned that it is by design that we cannot choose "do not inherit" in backup schedule when backup target is a remote shared folder.
    Checklist: Schedule Automatic Backups
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732540.aspx
    If you use a remote shared folder, make sure that the folder is available, that you have write access to the folder, and that you are a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group on the computer hosting the folder. Each time you create
    a backup, it will overwrite the older backups so that you will only have one backup at a time.
    The backup will inherit the access control list (ACL) permissions of the folder.
    For the account it required, as mentioned above, it should be "a member of Admin group or Backup Operators group, and it should have write permission on target folder".
    Also map a network folder as a drive will not help show the mapped drive letter in backup destination. It is still a remote shared folder.

  • Access Connections - Use Windows Logon grayed out

    I have seen multiple posts on this, but no solution. I am trying to configure acconn for PEAP, but in the user credential section, the Use Windows Logon is grayed out. I have tried reinstalling and checking off the box on the install, still no luck. Lenovo had me reload the laptop to factory, but that didnt help either.
    Suggestions?
    Ron

    Ok, are you logged on the system as having Admin privileged?  If not, then you can't change the Global Settings.
    I strongly suggest not deleting registry entries.  mgtitchenell mostly had it right, but instead do this:
    Go into Global Options in Access Connection, uncheck it, click OK and restart, then go back in and check it, click OK and restart.
    After this - the option should no longer be grayed out.
    If that doesn't work, then the problem mostly likely comes from some other GINA installed on the system that Access Connections doesn't recognize.   Look back at the registry entry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon) and look for an entry that either has the word GINA mixed up in it, or that points to some file that end in .dll
    Disk encryption software and some VPN programs put in their own DLL (or things like Novell Netware client)

  • 'Access on Lock Screen' option grayed out?

    I was able to swipe from the bottom of my screen to view the control center after updating to iOS7.  But now the function doesn't work and the turn on/off option within Settings is now grayed out and cannot be changed.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Do you think something changed with my company's security settings that disabled this option?Yes. I would consult the IT dept. at your company.

  • How to access Time Capsule hard drive with out internet connection?

    Basically I live in a four bedroom house. One of my roomates moved out who had the internet in there name. Now i dont have an internet access but I have the Time Capsule with a 2 TB hard drive that stores my whole itunes library. I have enough space on my Macbook Air to store my whole library. I'd like to move my whole iTunes library back to my computer and wipe the Time Capsule Clean.

    If the Time Capsule is providing a wireless network signal, an Internet connection does not need to exist to move files from the Mac to the Time Capsule, or vice versa.
    Log onto the Time Capsule wireless network
    Open Macintosh HD
    Look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window
    Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder named Data (unless you have renamed it) will appear to the right
    Double click Data to mount the drive on the Mac's desktop
    Open the drive on the desktop and you can drag/drop files over to the destination that you choose on the Mac.
    Once the file transfer is complete, double check to make sure that the files are back on your Mac and everything is working properly. Then, you can erase the Time Capsule hard drive.

    As per new requirement i have to remove DB link ,is there any other way i can access both database with out DB link.Yes. But that needs another network and application interface instead of a database link.
    The target database can implement PL/SQL web services. These can be called via HTTP.
    The local database can use UTL_HTTP to make a call to the target database's web service for accessing target database data.
    Both databases can use AQ (Advance Queues). This can be integrated with an application server's JMS queues.
    This enable one database to enqueue a request to the other database, and for that database to respond by sending data.
    There are numerous such type of interfaces that can be used. Some primitive. Some advanced. Some simple. Some complex.
    The easiest and most flexible mechanism is however a database link. And it does not make sense to disallow database links for security and management reasons, but allow JMS for example. The network infrastructure is the same for both methods. The network protocol is the same. The security issues and concerns are the same - except that JMS for example is significantly more moving parts and make configuration and security a lot more complex than using a database link.

  • What is the Compatibility Tab grayed out for applications on some network shares, but not others?

    I have a network share with an executable file located in it. If I browse to the share by UNC path from a Windows 7 pro workstation and go to the compatibility tab of the .exe, the options are grayed out.
    I have another network share with an executable file located on it. This share and workstation are at a different location, unrelated to the first example. If I browse to the share by UNC path from a Windows 7 pro Workstation and go to the compatibility
    tab of the .exe file, the options are not grayed out, and I can check or uncheck what ever I need to.
    Both shares are located on a Server 2008 R2 system w/sp1. Both workstations are joined to the same domain as the server they are connecting to the UNC path on. Both shares have given the user connecting full access on the smb sharing and ntfs sharing.
    Someone please tell me how to make the compatibility tab not grayed out. Here is a screen shot of the comapatibility tab of the .exe file from both shares:

    Hi,
    You can use
    Troubleshoot compatibility to set the application to Compatibility Mode. 
    You can right-click the application’s shortcut and click Troubleshoot compatibility.

  • I downloaded iTunes to a new computer and authorized that computer but my music is grayed out and will not play, how do I get access to my music?

    I installed iTunes to a new computer and authorized that computer but my music is grayed out.  How do I get access to my music?

    Is there a way to change that?
    You can easily set up the iPod to automatically sync to your current iTunes library (or just do a Restore), but that will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your current iTunes library (erasing the iPod).  If your old computer was "retired" gracefully and you were able to transfer its complete iTunes user data to your new computer, there is no problem because all of the songs on the iPod now are already in your current iTunes library.  However, if there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, those songs will be lost.  That may be a problem...
    If you want to preserve what is on the iPod, you can try setting the iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  I believe you can do that from an iTunes library that is not the iPod's currently associated library.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen.  Check the box for Manually manage music and videos.  (If iTunes puts up any warning about erasing or replacing the iPod's existing content, Revert the change and cancel out.)  Click Apply.  The iPod is no longer set to automatically sync.  But you can add new content manually to what is already on the iPod.  And the songs should not be grayed out. 
    However, you cannot use iTunes to transfer songs on the iPod to your current iTunes library (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  If there are songs on the iPod that are not in your computer's iTunes library, you should eventually "offload" those song files because your iPod can easily break, become corrupted, or get lost.  iTunes syncs content in one direction only (from computer to iPod), but there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like iPod "transfer," you should get some links, including a CNET article on the topic.
    Once all of your songs are "consolidated" in your current iTunes library, you can set up the iPod for automatic syncing to that library.

  • How can I access advanced drop downs in IMovie if they are grayed out

    I'm trying to insert a jpg over a portion of my video. Nothing I've tried has worked. A video indicates that I can do this using the advanced options.  The video indicates how to go through Preferences to gain access to the advanced option but the video preferences are not the same as my preferences so I'm back to square one. How do I get access to the advanced options that are grayed out in my iMovie.
    I'm using IMovie HD 6. Thx

    Depending on where you have the mouse clicked, you might see the menus change. So click the mouse down into the movie timeline at the bottom of the screen itself and you might see the Extract Audio option become available under the Advanced Menu for instance.

    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.
