I would try it on a PC and see if you can format it, then put it back on the Mac and try again. If it's not seen on a PC, then there's the strong likelihood that there's a hardware issue; either the bridge/chip set or the HD itself is dying/dead. There's also the small possibility that the cable is faulty, so I'd try a different cable too.

  • I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

    My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
    The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
    Thanks for your input!

    Email does not appear when using the mail icon on the home screen. I get No message selected showing on the rh side of my screen with the left hand third of the screen blank. Buttons on the top line are greyed out except the new mail one. The word thread appears in black on the top left hand side of the screen The only way out is to close the screen. all other apps work okay.

    Hello calverone,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To start troubleshooting this issue where the Mail application is not appearing correctly on your iPad, I'd like you to please force the Mail app to quit, and then restart your iPad.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • I have an external hard drive that shows up in disk utility but Verify and Restore are greyed out.

    I have an external hard drive that shows up in disk utility but Verify and Restore are greyed out. I am trying to determine what is wrong with the drive.
    I need the data on the drive and it won't show up in Disk Warrior. I have tried different Mac's and different USB cords only to find the same outcome. When selected in Disk Utility the information read as such...
    Disk Description : WD Elements 1023 Media                      Total Capacity : 500.11 GB (500,105,740,288 Bytes)
    Connection Bus : USB                                                               Write Status : Read/Write
    Connection Type : External                                                     S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
    USB Serial Number : 575837314135304D36373132        Partition Map Scheme : Unformatted
    As the drive shows in Disk Utility there must be some life left in it surely. There is a possibilty that the physical connection between the USB cord and the external drive is damaged but since the drive shows up I believe it's unlikely... before I give it to the pro's is there anything else I can do to diagnose the issue?

    Hello,
    I have just experienced the same thing!
    Although my external drive shows in Disk Utility, it does not show in Finder.
    And the Verify/Repair buttons are also greyed out.
    Also, although the drive is 2TB. DU shows it as having Total Capacity of only 4.14GB! (Which should be the Free Space).
    I was wondering if you solved your problem, & if so, would you share your solution.
    I´m afraid to Erase in case I lose all my Data on the drive.
    Thanks in advance for your reply!

  • HT201274 A update came on my phone 4s general and I hit it . It uploaded and shut down . When I tried to turn it back on it told me to hook up to iTunes and when I did it tells me to reset but if I do this I will lose all my contact and photo info. What c

    My iPhone 4S had an update for general and I hit it and the screen had a line that filled up and then the phone shut off , apron restarting it shows you to connect to iTunes and when I did it told me to reset my phone which will erase all my photos and contact data . Is there any thing I can do at this point to back out of the upload or finish it without losing info?Keep in mind that at this point my phone will not turn on it only comes on and shows and tells me to plug into iTunes . Please help

    There are many ways to back up photos and contacts on an iPhone:
    Photos - copy them to your computer with a USB cable; the phone will appear in Windows or Mac as a digital camera.
    Photos - Enable Photo Stream, which saves them to iCloud and syncs to your computers(s)
    Contacts - set to sync to any contact app on your computer (e.g., Outlook, Address Book)
    Contacts - Enable sync to iCloud. This is real time and will always be up to date
    Everything on the phone (including contacts and photos) - Back up to iTunes on your computer
    Everything on the phone - Back up to iCloud
    All of these are described in the manual.
    If you did not do ANY of these then the contents are already lost.

  • Managing add-ons: The "find updates" button is grey-out on the Extensions tab. How can I get it to work?

    At some point, it used to work, then, one-day (after an update?), it went grey and stayed that way. It still works friends who have FF 3.6.16 installations, but not for me. I've tried tweaking the profile, a new profile, and tweaking about:config (under direction), but naught helped.
    Any ideas? (An update to FF4 is not in the cards at this time, by the way.)

  • Trying to set up my photo stream on a new laptop but bookmarks and phot strem are greyed out on the icloud application why is this?

  • I have over 10,000 songs that I have copied from my vinyl and tape libraries. I was able to use all of them until I loaded IOS 5.0. I can see all of them on my phone and PC, but most are greyed out on the phone. How can I use all of my music.

    Let me know if you have any answers.

    I did not upgrade to the newest version of Itunes on my PC.  I just now went to my Library were Music is listed. Under that is Movies, TV Shows, ItunesU, etc.  When I opened my music list, each song was in numerical order.   If I have the songs listed alphabetically, they are in numerical order.  If I change my listing to album or whatever, the first song is listed in numerical order just as I showed in my original question.  They are also numbered on my Playlists.  I have my favorites in two different playlists.  One of them was minus a song.  I was able to see which one was missing because they were in numerical order.  I know I could have just copied to correct one into the incorrect one and just skipped the duplicates, but I chose to do it this way.
    So, the songs are listed numerically in my music folder under Library on my older version of Itunes.  But, on my newer version, they are not listed numerically under music.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong?????
    Thanks so much for your help.  I wish they would just leave things alone.  I would gladly go back to the older version on my other computer, but???? 
    Again thanks.

  • I lost all my contacts out of the blue.. how can i recover them??? please help

    i suddenly lost all my contacts.. dont knw what happened... I read a lot of answers but did not understand how to recover.. please help

    Two way:
    - If they are in the calender ap/program on the computer just sync them from there back to the iPod.
    - Restore the iPod from backup. Make sure that autosyncing is off otherwise, when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes will backup the iPod without the contacts.   To turnoff go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices anbd change the box that says: Prevent iPods....syncing".

  • When I try and print a web page in the print screen ALL the Print Frame options are greyed out. It won't let me print a page as I see it. I need to pring a page as is. How do I do it in the new 8.0??

    I go to print and try to select the radio button to print all frames, but It's not working

    The '''Print Frames''' options are greyed out unless the web page is made with Frames. I-Frames don't work the same.
    Check out this '''''frames test page''''' - http://www.draac.com/framestest.html <br />Is the '''Print Frames''' part of the print dialog box active?
    As far as printing a page as you see it, many web pages use '''print.css''' files for print-media. The print.css specifies exactly what is to be sent to the printer and it can control the formatting of the printed page.

  • Some of the extensions I am using are greyed out when I attempt to make their tool bar viewable

    There are several extensions I have installed from the Safari extension gallery. Two of them are the twitter extension and the Gtool Bar. I would like their tool bars to be viewable but they are greyed out under the View menu option. Any reasons why this is and what can I do?

    Definitely contact the developers but you can also try deleting the Extensions.plist
    Go to  ~/Library/Safari/Extensions
    Move the Extensions.plist file from the Extensions folder to the Trash.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • Apple loops are greyed out

    okay first off, if you try to give me a link to other FAQs it will not help as i have searched them already, only to find that they have helped me not in the least...
