Acrobat 9 Pro comments tools are greyed out...

I just installed Acrobat 9 Pro and am trying to use the pdf portfolio feature. All of my comments tools are greyed out. I have checked te security settings and they are set to allow comments. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the quick reply--that was it. I also realized that the docs must be in PDF format to enable comments. cwh

Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
Thanks
Derek

Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

Toolbar icons are greyed out

Hi there,
I am a Flash newbie and am following the Adobe 'classroom in a book' course, but I am encountering a simple problem.
All I want to do is to draw some shapes using the 'pen' tool.
However I suddenly find that all the tools beneath the 'magnify' tool are greyed out.
Has anyone any idea how this tool may be restored?
Thanks
John

if my external hard drive is not connected to either of my machines, and I download something onto my iMac and then something different onto my Macbook, where are my machines going to be storing the new downloaded media

and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many (not all) documents that cannot be opened in either Pages '09 or Pages 5. They show on my doc lists, but are greyed out so I can't try to change extensions or anything else. Some are PDFs.

Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many documents, but not all, that cannot be opened in either Pages 5 or in Pages '09. The names show in my document lists, but are greyed out. They do not show any extensions, but I'm sure at seast some of them are PDFs. As I cannot open them, I am unable to try to experiment with any solutions - I am not tech savvy, but can sometimes fix things by trial and error. I have no issues with sharing documents as I have no other devices. I just want to be able to open my saved documents! Also, the documents I can open have to be persistently coaxed to open to a point that it is extremely aggravating. I am not so happy with this recent "upgrade." Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You use Finder to find stuff. It is what you use to look at where your files are kept and to rename, move or trash them. If you double click on a file in Finder it finds the right software to open it for you.
To open particular files you use the right software for each type. Usually, but not always, the software that made the file.
Pages opens files ending in .pages. Also .txt, .rtf, and doc.
Pages 5 is the latest (but certainly not the greatest) version of Pages. It has trouble opening all sorts of files including the older Pages '09 files but it will still do it.
Unfortunately Apple has chosen for Pages 5 to also save its files as exactly the same file extension .pages despite it being a different format that can not be opened by the older Pages '09.
As we all know Apple is wise and great beyond belief and would not do something that on the face of it looks extraordinarily stupid and shortsighted. Therefore we know that it must be our fault and we are not holding the software right. Because we are bad users, we must be punished, by either having to use Pages 5 or jump through hoops to avoid using Pages 5.
If you have installed Pages 5 any .pages file (old or new) will be opened by Pages 5. If you then save the file, Pages 5 will change the file format. So don't open your files with Pages 5 and don't save them if you do.
To stop Pages 5 opening and resaving your old files, you need to drag it to the trash and empty it.
When it is no longer around to annoy you, you can go back to using Pages 09.

Some imessage settings are greyed out on macbook pro

MacBook Pro
17-inch, Late 2011
OS X10.9 (Mavericks)
Some iMessage settings in the General tab are greyed out:
Buddy list:
Account Status:
When I return:
When Switching users:
- iMessage is successfully setup on iPhone, iPad and MacBook;
- I am the administrator and only user of the laptop;
- I can change all other settings in iMessage and system-wide;
- The problem is not affecting the functionality of iMessaging - these are privacy issues;
- These settings are not offered on my iPhone or iPad, so their settings are not restricting me;
- I don't know if the problem existed before upgrading to Mavericks;
- I checked all other System Preferences for settings that may be causing the problem - found none (doesn't mean they aren't there).
Clearly this is not a crisis situation - it's "only" iMessage which I've chose to enable and will disable if necessary. It's a control issue - Apple has it, I want it back! I have a HUGE problem with any entity dictating - then locking me out of - the settings on my devices, deciding what personal and activity info I share, and with whom. Thanks in advance for helping.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

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.

"I Need to Sign" options are greyed out in Reader

I created a fillable form with Acrobat, including two fields where signatures are required. When I test the form within Acrobat (clicking on the signature field), I am prompted to create/insert a digital signature. But when I try the same thing in Reader, all the options under "I Need to Sign" are greyed out and also when I click on either of the signature fields, nothing happens. We need to send this form to many customers and need to figure out how to get this to work in Reader. Please advise.

The form was made using Acrobat X
Less than 500 customers
Nevermind... you took too long to answer. I just needed to upgrade my version to Pro.

CS6 Encore launches but all options are greyed out

The headline says it all. I'm using CS6 on a MacBook Pro, OS 10.7. Previously Encore has worked well. After the most recent update, Encore will launch but all of the options are greyed out. I can't start a new project, etc. When I try to open a previous Encore project, I receive an error message that some needed software is missing. Any ideas to help me solve the problem? With many thanks.

I suspect that same sort of issues that one gets when the activation is messed up. I think the resolution is deactivate and reactivate.
Are you missing any presets in Premiere? I would look at some of the issues in the Premiere forum to further diagnose the problem and look for the recommended fix.

Lightroom 5.4. Edit options are greyed out. I tried reset warnings already.

Hi,
I just added a bigger harddrive and reinstalled Lightroom 5.4.
Now, 2 of 3 edit options are greyed out.
No access to plug-ins or external editors for original files.(NEF's)
I tried reset warnings already.

Yes, Nikon transfer was used. From a D800, But that was a year ago.
It has been working fine.
Before I upgraded to 5.4 I had this problem.
When I upgraded to a larger harddrive and re-installed 5.4 the access was limited to only "Copy with Lightroom adjustments."
Last night it started working, I had full access!
But, today it won't work on the same image/plug-ins.
the NIK Collection for example.
This effecting ALL RAW files! D100, D90, D3100, D7000, D800.
My Laptop is doing it now, too!!!
I installed DNG Converter 8.4 with No Difference. NO RAW EDITS.
I can't send a NEF to DXO Optics Pro 9, or anything else!

How do I purchase additional loops for GarageBand that are greyed out?

Just purchased a Macbook Pro with Retina Display. When I launch Garageband, many of the loops are greyed out as are many of the instruments.
Where do I go to purchase the upgrades to get all of the instruments and all of the loops?

I’m aware of two ways:
Option 1: Go to any Verizon store and purchase a data plan.
Option 2: The $15 $60 $90 refill card from Wal-Mart
Walmart No.: 550562111
Model No.: VERIZONBB 17735
(Best Buy and Radio Shack sell the device and may have the card)
1) Purchase a data plan using the refill card at Wal-Mart
2) Add the card to your account by calling the number on back
3) Activate the card by calling back and speaking to an agent (this gets you online)
4) Tell the agent to setup your online account and email your account password
5) Go to Verizonwireless.com/account and complete the online account setup
When your data plan runs out, “Verizon QuickAccess” comes up. Once your account setup is complete you can add refill cards and purchase and activate data plans through quickaccess.com without calling Verizon.

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!

All my songs are greyed out on my iPod except for the songs in my itunes library

I have over 10,000 songs on my ipod touch and when I connect to my Macbook Pro and go to itunes it states that there are over 10,000 songs on my ipod, but when I click to play them a little exclamation mark appears before it. (As it does when the source cannot be found.) At the bottom of itunes it still shows a large blue Audio bar stating that I have over 10,000 songs on it somewhere, but I cannot play them. When disconnecting from Itunes the artists and albums are all showing, but as soon as I go into an album all the songs are greyed out. This only just happened yesterday when adding a few extra songs I downloaded to my itunes and dragged and dropped them to my ipod.
Please help me, the data should be on the ipod somewhere, but for some reason I cannot reach it. I do not have a backup, so this is really annoying
Thanks for any help

Try:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
The grey-out ones may not be recoverable.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

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.
