Adjustments grayed out? Might be QUICK PREVIEW in Aperture 2

I upgraded to 2.0 this morning and found that I was not unable to make any adjustments to any RAW or Jpegs files. This was so with managed files in the central library as well as referenced images on an external HD. Also true for new RAW files uploaded this morning.
The adjustments window is completely grayed out. I'm able to toggle open the arrows for Raw Fine Tuning, White Balance, etc but unable to access the controls. CMYK values do show up below the (empty) space for the histogram, but that is the extent of interactivity.
The rotate and lift and stamp functions are operable. The alignment, crop, patch, brush and redeye tool are grayed out.
I then realized I had inadvertently clicked the "quick preview" mode (button bottom right of window) - likely when dragging the bottom right corner to rescale the window.
Everything seems ok now.
Though the white balance controls are a little unpredictable. Occasionally the tint jumps to a zero value when I am adjusting the temp slider. And often the change that I am making doesn't seem to register.
Hope the QP headsup might save some time for some of you that (like me) didn't bother to read the "What's new" section before installing.

Why is my Quick Preview taking ages to load

I am finding the Quick Preview in Aperture is taking a long time to load the picture. I have to come out of quick preview to allow the picture to load and be clear. Once it has loaded, I can go back in to QP and it works as expected. Until I try to open the next picture.
This has only started recently.Is it something to do with looking at masters instead of versions?

My first (and perhaps only) guess is that you have (perhaps inadvertently) set Aperture to not create Previews (or deleted them).
What happens if you select all the images in a Project and execute "Photos→Update Previews"? Does Aperture do anything? Are you then able to quickly move through them using Quick Preview?

"Adjust Size" grayed out in Preview now...

Hi all -
I am trying to adjust the size of a PDF and a JPEG in Preview, as I have done so many times. However, the "Adjust Size" option is now grayed out. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Or something I might have done that caused the problem?
Thanks in advance for help...

Ran the EtreCheck - and thank you for that suggestion! I have copied the report below - is there anything there that you can tell might obviously be the problem?
Also, I did do a software update yesterday - perhaps there was a little glitch of some sort?
Thank you so very much for your help!

Aperture 2: Adjustments suddenly grayed out

Some help for an Aperture noob please. Subject line says it all about the symptoms so I guess I need to describe how I got myself into this fine mess:
1. Imported some photos (taken with an Olympus E-510), selecting to leave the photos where they are rather than physically importing them.
2. Played about with Apertures raw adjustment settings on some of these photos.
3. Exported the photos I'd played with to directory on my Mac.
4. Created a small .me gallery and published.
I think it was after step 4 that my problems started. All the adjustments (i.e. exposure, white balance, shadows/highlights and so on) are now grayed out, for all projects. Oddly, I can undo and redo all adjustments on a previously edited photo but I cannot select any individual adjustment.
Note: This is a trial copy of Aperture. Where did I go wrong?
Regards
J

I experience this, from time to time, and normally I only need to again click on the thumbnail in the Browser line to have the controls turn black again. I will have to better observe the sequence of actions, but I don't think my situation has anything to do with switching into Preview mode.

Preview PDF grayed out

I am using Designer for the first time, and I wanted to preview the PDF after I had added a few fields to a new form. But when I go to turn on the View > Preview PDF tab the selection is grayed out. I can publish the PDF and tehn look at it, but that's a pain. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0, and I selected that in the Properties - Default, but it is still grayed out.
Help!

Hi,
Try starting Acrobat first (and have it in the background) then start up LC Designer.
Also have a look at the preferences in Acrobat. The display in browser affects whether LC designer previews the form in LC or pushes it out to Acrobat.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Flattener Preview Highlight Settings Grayed Out

Had to re-install of my Adobe programs due to an overal computer issue.
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 - Adobe Acrobat X - Adobe InDesign CS5.5
I have not had this issue before the reinstall. I have a Adobe InDesign file and did an export to PDF.
I chose Adobe PDF Preset - Smallest File Size, I used the default settings for Smallest File Size preset.
When I opened that file in Acrobat and went to Tools > Print Production > Flattener Preview
When the Flattener Preview window opens at the top it show preview settings. Under the "Highlight" section
the selections are grayed out. I am using items with tranparency within the PDF. Also I have successfully used this
option with this file before. Not sure what is causing the highlight options to be grayed out.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

After hours of messing with this I think I figured it out! Seems like a possible bug in the program. Turns out that even though pages throughout the PDF had trasparency, in this particular case, the first page in the PDF did not. So the "highlight" pull-down menu window is grayed out and it seems to be because the first page does not have transparency even though I had "all pages" checked.
So I went back into the PDF and selected a page that HAD transparency. Then when back into the flattener preview settings and clicked on "all pages" and went back to the "Highlight" menu and trasparency selections were there.
So seems like a weird bug in Acrobat that you have to have a page in the preview window that has transparency for it to work on all pages.
Hope this makes sense!

Sign-in quickly with a four digit number grayed out

The "ADD" button is grayed out for the "Sign-in quickly with a four digit number" logon option. I am not part of a domain. I do not have e-mail that belong to a domain other than hotmail. How do I turn this option back on.
SOmethings I have tried:
I did go to gpedit.msc to turn the group policy "Turn on PIN sign in" to "Enabled"
Does not seem to work. Any help appreciated please.
Krish.

Hi,
"I am not part of a domain. I do not have e-mail that belong to a domain other than hotmail."
What's the meaning? Did this computer join the domain?
Please logon with that Hotmail account, then navigate to the following location
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon
In the right side pane, double click on Turn on PIN sign-in and make sure it is enabled.
After that, restart to check the result.

Why is the preview or scan images as separate files grayed out? When it was working just fine before

I have windows 8...I have been using this scanner for about a month. My scan/fax/printer is a Brother MFC-8910DW. This is what brothers website says regarding this make and model. "Scan multi-page documents using the 50-page capacity auto document
feeder or use the legal-size document glass for bound materials." For the Full month it has been scanning multiple pages using Microsoft scan a document or picture. I tried to scan this morning and it will now only let me scan ONE page at a time.(( I
have to scan over 800 pages!!) On the lower left corner there is a box I was able to click previously it says preview or scan images as separate files. It is now grayed out and I am unable to select it. I know for a fact it has nothing to do with my printer
because I use it for a month and it worked beautifully. Please could someone help with this issue?

Hi,
For this issue, I would suggest you update to the latest printer driver, if you have any other related printer\scanner programs installed, please make sure that you have the latest version or reinstall as a test.
It's recommended to contact the manufacture for members there are more familiar with this product

most appreciated.
note: tabular view is on.

Hi ezadler,
Did this issue only haapen to this one particular list?
Please check if there are more related ULS logs in 15 hive.
And also try saving this library as a template and create a new libarary based on it, then check if issue still exists, then change the "multiple lines of text" type
Enhanced rich text to
Rich text (even Plain text) if possible, then check again.
Thanks

Preview Sidebar grayed out

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can't turn on the Sidebar in Preview. The Preview Help bar points to Sidebar under the View menu with 2 options, Collapse All or Expand All. Both are grayed out. Search of support topics turned up several with Finder Sidebar problems, but not specifically with Preview. I'm probably overlooking something simple, but I can't find it. Thanks for your help

In the View menu, select either thumbnails or table of contents.

Preview Commands Grayed Out

The commands in the daughter menus of the Tools > Mark Up and Tools > Annotate commands in Preview are always grayed out.
This does not change, regardless of tool selected or whether a portion of the image has been highlighted or not.
It does not matter whether a JPEG or a PNG image is the current file opened.
Similarly, the "Select" and "Annotate" buttons do not work. Clicking on the "Select" button has no effect, and the "Annotate" button is stuck on the elliptical shape and does not drop down, either.
This was precipitated I think by Mac OS X 10.5.6. It was an update on my MacBook, and it came pre-installed in my iMac. Both macs exhibit this problem since 10.5.6.

I just tried it on several pdf files.
On some, the text markup is not an option - presumably the "text" is not really text but a graphic. On those documents the markup options are grayed out as in yours.
On other pdf docs which clearly have text, if I select a line of text and then choose tools->Mark Up, the options are not grayed out.
I think it's a matter of whether the "text" to be marked up is actually text or a graphic image of text, which is not the same thing.
I can Mark Up this document

How to repair grayed out Toolbar in Preview?

I can’t open grayed out Toolbar in Preview (6.0.1). I have done the following: trashed the com.apple.finder.plist file, repaired permissions, relaunched finder, logged out and logged in. Any other suggestions?

To activate the toolbar items a document must be open in Preview. Don't you have this under the File menu?
