Photoshop CC 2014 3D menu functions greyed out

I can't seem to get 3D options enabled in CC 2014. I'm using a 2012 Macbook Pro Retina with 16gb of ram & a 1GB 650m running 10.9.3 and that well exceeds the system requirements.
I have "Use graphics processor" selected in the performance tab and the 3d tab shows 970mb of available VRAM but all the 3d options are still greyed out, I even used a 3rd party app to force my laptop to run at a non retina resolution and that pushed available VRAM over 1000mb but it didn't help. I've tried restarting the app and computer.
I opened up CC (2013) on the same machine and the 3d options are there and the 3d performance is very good and snappy so I can't see any good reason why adobe would artificially limit the 2012 retina macbook pro to not be able to use the feature at all.

Hy,
I had the same problem with Photoshop CC 2014. I have on-board video card with shared memory. After I changed the video card RAM to 512 and set the Photoshop Preferences to maximum, the problem was resolved.
I attached a photo to see more details. Hope you will solve the problem soon .

Edit menu Copy function greyed out MSword 2011, v14.1.0 (after I updated to OS X 10.9.5; 4GB 1067 MHz, Processor 2.53 GHz, Intell Core i5)

Edit menu Copy function greyed out MSword 2011, v14.1.0 (after I updated to OS X 10.9.5; 4GB 1067 MHz, Processor 2.53 GHz, Intell Core i5)
The copy function under the edit menu is gone (greyed out) and the short-cut, "command + c" doesn't word. I can only copy by using the copy button on the formatting toolbar, which is slow & annoying. All after I ungraded to Maverick. I've tried several different solutions. Any suggestions? I've tried several solutions, but nothing has worked so far...

CS4-menu items greyed out ????

Why are my menu items greyed out until I hit a tool icon?
Example .....open Photoshop, click "FILE" = everything greyed out except "recent" whose submenu (list of recent files) greyed out. If I hit any tool icon, menu items appear.
ALSO .....eyes on layers have no effect ubtil I click elsewhere, navigator panel empty until I click an increase or decrease there, etc. I need to always click elsewhere for something to happen.
I am running Vista Ultimate with a high capacity video card. I removed all my plug-ins, I ran PS4 script-cleaner and re-installed applic 3 times - same damn problem.
Any ideas .....please?
Thank you.

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
(A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

Is the iPod signed into the same account that purchased the music?
Is the computer still authorized for the account?

hello ptbruce, you probably only selected to open (not save) the video which will download it into windows temporary folder where it gets deleted again after it has been used. <br>you could try to right-click the entry in the firefox download manager and copy the link of the source file and try if you can download it through this url again. otherwise you'll have to contact the vendor of the video to find a solution...

im on a Mac Os X 10.6.6
ATI Radeon HD 5750:
do i have the sufficient hardware?

Hi,
Have you tried resetting at launch (cmd+opt+shift)? That card and 10.6.6, ostensibly, should work. My older ATI 3870 on 10.6.6 works. I don't have an iMac to check with just now, but hopefully can take a look next week.

Photoshop CC tools not accessible & drop down menu commands greyed out for no apparent reason.

Hi... I've been having this issue with Photoshop CC recently where in the middle of editing an image file all of a sudden none of the tools work. When looking at the drop down menus most of the commands are greyed out, except for a few. When looking at the image box, the filename at the top is greyed out. I can't even choose to quit photoshop as this option is greyed out. I can do things like toggle through the "Change Screen Mode" (F Key), and when i select a tool it's icon appears on the screen, but I can't apply it. After about 5 minutes it seems to correct itself & I can go on working with the image.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Well, that could indicate a dialog box appearing somewhere in the background or off screen, not even necessarily from PS itself. Also of course check the option for the restore data and incremental saving. Perhaps you are just seeing that...

Photoshop performing strangely (menu options greyed out and Save As not working)

Just recently routine tasks have become not so routine.
When I use File/Open everything is greyed out because the Enable field is blank. I can't find any place to set this field permanently to All Readable Documents.
Secondly, when I use Save As, Photoshop wants to save my image in a .eps format unless I save it as JPEG Stereo.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi volrick98,
Your on a mac using photoshop cs6?
The most common cause is having either moved/copied plugins from a previous photoshop version into photoshop cs6
or pointing the Additional Plug-Ins Folder under Plug-ins in the photoshop preferences to a previous version of photoshop.
If you did either of the above, then undo that (remove the copied plugins or uncheck the additional plugins folder)

Photoshop CC menu items greyed out

I just downloaded CC yesterday and was trying to make a lense flare effect on a layer and it is greyed out.
I trued the same thing in my CS 6 and it works fine.
Nothing is selected etc. on the layer, just doesn't give me the option to choose the filter effects.
Do I need to do anything special in CC to get this done.
Watching a Lynda.com video and it looks like I'm not missing anything.
Thoughts?

If you have a layer targeted Filter>Render>Lens Flare should not be grayed out. Try resetting your preferences

Menu items greyed out

I just loaded my Ae and I am using the Adobe Ae CC 2014 CIB and when opening Ae in the menu to start off with the menu items to start with are greyed out, How and Why?
I am using an iMac 27" system and it is brand new less than a year old. I downloaded the guru 5.0 or ;after Driver, now no welcome screen come up and the menu items are greyed out. I am trying to start the program and I can't. Any ideas to help ? oh Yeah my name is Bill140.

Are you definitely opening the correct version of After Effects, or are you perhaps opening the After Effects Render Engine instead?
The Render Engine is, as its name suggests, purely for rendering existing projects, and most other functions are greyed out.

Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

[JS CS3] Why is menu item greyed out?

Hello,
I have the following script that works fine on both my Mac and PC. However, I have sent it two other people and both report the same problem that the menu item shows up in the menus but all the options are greyed out.
I thought it might be a problem of the path but when I deliberately make a wrong path on my computer I get an error message telling me the path does not exist. The two other people get no such message so there may be another problem.

Photoshop cc 2014 extension menu disable

why the extension menu is disable?

Hi,
I have not ben able to install a single extension in PS CC 2014. All the extensions I have or that are available in the extension browser that has replaced Exchange seem to be incompatible with PS CC 2014. Probably a few are compatible, though, but I didn't look for them. Since you cannot install any extension, the menu remains grayed out.
When you try to install an "older" extension, you can "acquire" it but it doesn't actually installs.Sometimes you may get the following error message :
error -411
Compatible CC app not found.
Solution: Install a compatible Adobe application before installing Add-ons.
as if you had not installed Photoshop CC. So PS CC 2014 is not considered as a compatible CC app. I guess a lot of extension authors will have to rewrite their code. All the extensions I was using are now incompatible.
Also, I found that the new extension browser and the automated installer (which goes through the CC desktop app) are rather buggy and incredibly slow. I guess we are beta testing this new "feature".
So, if you absolutely need a particular extension, make sure it works in PS CC 2014 (probably not) and keep PS CC installed (which can also lead to some confusion since there's no CC 2014 specific version of Bridge and Extension Manager).
