All commands are gray....nothing works

I am using Photoshop Elements 9 and have scanned fourteen photos and imported them to the Elements Editor. I gave each photo a name and saved it as a tiff photo. All of a sudden I cannot do anything on the screen....cannot exit, cannot import, cannot do anything. The only light on the screen is on an orange bar at the top right of the screen. But when I click on that.....nothing happens. I cannot access the Help section......nothing works. I am assuming that the fourteen photos have filled the edit bin......but I cannot export them in order to start a new batch. Can someone help??????

TS3391 iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project.

iMovie 11 is not working. I try to open it and it says it is generating thumbnails for one of my previous projects. All the commands are gray. I have to force it to quit. I just want to capture clips to start a new project. I googled the problem and there were discussions about deleting files in various folders and renaming clip extensions. I don't like the solutions I saw there and I am not sure they will work.

Nobody replied so I called Apple. They seemed to think they could fix the problem but I had to agree to pay about $20 first. I told them to put it down as a complaint. I only want to use the software I bought. I can't see that it is my fault it is malfunctioning. I guess I will have to pay. It doesn't seem right.

Go through the steps here and see if anything works for you.

You might have to bite the bullet and restore the device if nothing else works. If that doesn't bring it back to life, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let take a look at it.

Can't open firefox after upgrading to the latest version. All programmes affected, basically nothing works and it's driving me mad!

Having updated firefox, it does not work. After an hour or so to try and open firefox, it says firefox has crashed and gives option to restart or quit.
Same with internet explorer and chrome - no response. After about an hour, excel finally opened but so slow to be able to do anything.
Also noticed a message bottom right corner of screen saying this version of windows is not authentic. I have windows 7 and it is legitimate and have not seen this message before.
I have read lots on the internet but nothing seems to match my problem if nothing working. I am unable to change settings or look at set up of any programmes because I cannot get in to them.....
Any ideas would be so gratefully relieved please!!
Thank you in advance,

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

If running, turn your computer off.
Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
Now start your computer but also;

'''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
'''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted

Cannot Share - All Options are Grayed Out

New to iMovie '08 and having problems getting my projected rendered. Here's what I did: First, I imported 4 .mp4 files. No problem there. They came in in the order I wanted, all the thumbnails are fine, I can play it from the 'play' button at the very lower left and all I want to do now is burn to DVD. However, all the Share options are gray. Yes, I select the project in the Library before trying to Share. Of note, the 'play' button on the middle left at the bottom of the upper half of iMovie, if I press that, does nothing. What's going on? How do I get this thing rendered? Thanks!

David,
Have you moved the clips you wish to use in your project from the Library to the Project pane?
From what you describe, it sounds like you haven't.
You may find some answers in the tutorials here:

Can no longer send or get mail. All settings are correct. Worked fine before.

I can use a secondary account but not my primary yahoo.verizon account. Verified all settings are correct but the password was erased. After re-entering password a message says I have to verify my password by entering it at www.yahoo.com. However, I DO NOT have a Yahoo email account. It is a Verizon email account partnered with Yahoo.

Can't select videos for upload. All files are grayed out.

Ever since Safari 8, I am no longer able to upload videos to places like Amazon (for submitting video reviews.)
When I write a review on Amazon and choose Video Review as the review type, then click on the "Choose file" button, the files listied in the file selection window that opens are all grayed out. None can be selected. This only happens in Safari. I can use Chrome and Firefox with no problems.
Anyone else seen this?
Any ideas how to get this working?
I've reported it as a bug to Apple a month ago and was hoping the recent 10.10.2 Yosemite update would fix it but it didn't.

I see what you mean Michael ..
Might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Using iTunesU, all GET ALL icons are grayed-out!!!

Dear iTune Friends,
I have been recently downloading courses from iTunesU, until recently when...
I discovered that after double-clicking the course-photo, the GET ALL icon appears normally. But after a few seconds, it turns gray and will not respond to any or all mouse-clicks.
It happens every where that I go, Arizona State, Stanford, The Open University, Yale and even Oxford.
I am using iTunes 10.1.1 and Mac OSX 10.6.6.
Not a single thing has changed, it suddenly began happening and Apple Tech is, as usual, non-responsive.
Could someone please direct me onto the correct pathway for resolution?
Best Regards,
Robert O. Cobb, PhD

There are already about 3 threads on this. Known issue and we're working on a fix/update for it.

iTunes, on my PC, is responding very slowly.I just updated downloaded and installed iTunes 11 .0.1 on my Windows XP professional PC and all seems OK until I try to access iTunes Store or attempt to turn on Home Sharing or try to do anything where iTunes has to connect to Apple. It takes forever to respond to a mouse click and then all you see is the candy cane line which never stops even after 30 minutes. Has anyone experienced this?

The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer
Many thanks. Rather than the Apple document, I currently recommend using the instructions from the following user tip with that one:

Hen I click on Gmail on my toolbar I get this: I have tried all but getting rid of all my cookies. Nothing works. When I search gmail cookie, I have it there so what is wrong??? Do I need to go back to an older version?

'I can get to my gmail account by IE, but something very weird happened, I was upgrading my ad ware and got all sorts of strange pictures etc. And when I finally recovered my computer. and drop down menu was gone. Like a new Firefox, and I did not or intend to upgrade firefox.
The bottom line is how can I get back into gmail from firefox. My fav!

HI, and thank you for your reply. I am a bit confused however as I would have thought that once I turned off the engine of my car the transmitter and ipod would be also off???? Is there still power coming into the cigarette lighter when the car is off>????? i have a mercedes c class. The cigarette lighter is still working and the transmitter is still working. Are you saying that by leaving them still plugged in even though the car was idle and not running it still destroyed the hard drive???? Also could this happen if a person leaves it docked in a radio cd player but is not listening to it, is it still charging and could this have burned out the hard drive. (i always left it docked) until i bought the transmitter for the car.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated as obviously I do not want to make the same mistake again.
kind regards

After updating to itunes 10 i now get an error message saying there is a problem with the windows insaller package - I have tried all the suggestions but nothing works for me - have I lost all my itunes forever?

After updating to itunes 10 I now get an error message that says there is a problem with the windows installer package. I have tried all the things that others suggested but cannot download itunes at all now. Have I lost itunes forever?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

When I print doc in Adobe Reader, it automatically scrolls down several inches before starting to print text. Therefore text runs off bottom of page. Have tried all different settings and nothing works. Help!!!!!

When I print in Adobe Reader, the paper scrolls down several inches before the text begins therefore running off the page. I have tried numerous settings and cannot fix problem. Help!!!

I have finally cracked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The issue is definitely with Java Sun. "Uneven character spacing when printing JTextComponent"
It is raised on the http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6488219
And currently in OPEN state, and raised on 31 Oct 2006 and mentions it was caused by fix 4352983.
So where do we go from here. It's not good because I have tried all later version of the JVM and the issue is still there.
Why? Because it hasn't been fixed yet. Read the bug report above, as it gives more insight -- and mentions the workaround is NOT good for existing code.
So the way forward is to use an earlier version of the JVM 5.
I download the JVM version 1.5.0 (starting version) and works Ok... I would probably think version prior to 4352983 would be Ok too.
Please vote for this.... We have a workaround (use older version of the JVM).
So I am very happy.

Apple, why can't you fix this? I haven't even seen anyone from apple comment.
Every day that Jobs is gone, apple becomes more like Microsoft.
Does anyone have a fix? I have tried all the fixes short of a restore on my phone.

Hello Becky,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the explicit songs in iTunes. Have you checked to see if the explicit content is restricted in your iTunes Preferences?
If you have "Music with explicit content" checked under the Restrict menu, it will restrict music that is shared, on iTunes in the cloud, and music in the iTunes Store.
Use the steps in the following article to check these settings:

Booting from the Snow Leopard DVD disc go into Disk Utility and select the top most entry, it should be the name of the drive and list its capacity. Then select the Partition tab and then click on the drop down for the Partition Layout drop down and select One Partition. From there name it Macintosh HD with a format of Mac Extended (Journaled) and then click the Options button and select GUID as the Partition Table. Close that options window and Click Apply. After that is done exit DU then start the Reinstall Mac OS X and you should now have a hard drive, IE Partition, to install to.
If any of the above is not available, IE the partitioning and the selection of the drive to install to, then your internal hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced.
