Bridge File Open in camer raw, is grayed out. Camera raw works in PS.

Why, when a raw file open in Bridge with a double click opens in camera raw, that same file in bridge the 'open camera raw' option in the file menu is grayed out?

There are 3 places to check this option, 1 in Bridge preferences itself, 1 in the camera raw preferences via Bridge and the last one in the PS preferences from PSCS3 itself.
They all should have a checkmark. But there are some issues with this option. You might also want to refresh the preferences with restarting Bridge an holding down option key and after doing so again check and set the prefs to your wishes.

Camera Raw plugin grayed out?

I'm trying to open my file in Camera Raw, but the option is grayed out and not available. I've tried from both Bridge and PS. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Ironically, I had Camera Raw open earlier, but now it's not working. I've also tried rebooting my system, but that didn't work either.
Thanks!

You are trying to open a PSD file in ACR from Bridge. That will never work. I can guarantee you that it has never worked for you either,.
The only files you can open in Camera Raw directly from the Finder or from Bridge, are raw files, JPEGs and TIFFs without layers.
PSD files can only be opened in ACR if they do not have layers and only through the File > Open menu item within Photoshop, by setting Camera Raw in the pop-up menu at the bottom of said Open dialog box in Photoshop.

I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out, as well as the "Open" option. I have removed Kaspersky to sure.

I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out. Cannot right-click on the files to open. File does not appear in the targeted folder. If "opened," the files provide an error message. Issue is primarily with MS Word.

If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location. 
It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox. 
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work. 
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

Skype camera option is grayed out

I'm using Mac OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3. Skype version 7.9 Whenever I call, the camera option is grayed out. I went to preferences > audio / video and the option for camera drop down list is grayed out. Can someone help please?

Hi Kevin,
there may be other options. If the report is ALV based, you can choose the export button from the ALV toolbar. There you have the options "Local file" and if you are on 6.40 SP 15 or higher "XML export". With "Local file" you can save the report i.e. to a excel file in the file system of your PC. It saves the data but not the visualization. Therefore it might be required to do some tune. The "XML export" option is more sophisticated because it presaves the visualization.
Best regards,
Klaus

I have duplicative song files in my library that are grayed out. This seems to cause a syncing problem to my ipod or iphone. How can I clean up this mess?

I chose to let iTunes rearrange my files and it appears to have duplicated them in my computer's drive. So now I have the same folders/files directly under my D drive (second computer hard drive) and also in the iTunes Music Folder that iTunes created. Wasn't sure what to do so I did another import and now I have files in my library that are grayed out with the small i symbol in the circle next to them. I also have the working (bolded) files too. How can I clean this up?

No. All music that is mirrored in the cloud will be AAC@256 Kbps.

Along the same lines, if I "download" a song from my library to my iPhone, then plug my iPhone into my computer and sync the song file from my computer, will the higher quality original file overwrite the 256 one?
No, because with iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device traditional syncing of music via USB is disabled. All music management is done directly on the device.

Also, if I want to syncronize another computer using iTunes match, how can I get the higher quality audio files? Will I simply have to transport all of them by an exernal hard drive or thumb drive?
You will first have to copy the high-quality audio files to the computer, add them to the iTunes library then enable iTunes Match.

ISight camera image is grayed out

As of a couple weeks ago, the image from my MacBook Pro built-in iSight camera has been grayed out. The image can be seen, but barely - it's in monochrome with minimal contrast. It happens in multiple applications - have tested with Skype and Photo Booth. I followed the iSight troubleshooting steps, including resetting the SMC. Any assistance with further troubleshooting/fixing would be appreciated.

Yes EZ, per my first message I followed the iSight troubleshooting steps, including resetting the SMC. That didn't help. His recommendation of starting in safe mode, then restarting did help the first time, but the problem has recurred. I tried that fix again today, but it had no effect - the iSight image is barely visible, mostly grayed out.
If your problem is EXACTLY the same with EVERY Apple app you test in EVERY user account, I can suggest two options for your consideration:
(1) Contact your Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.
(2) Backup you data and reinstall your Mac's software to see if that corrects it.

Hi Escapermark,
Have a look at these knowledge base articles, the first one should fix the gray out problem:

Bridge CS3 "Open in Camera Raw" unavailable (grayed out)

I am using Bridge CS3 (2.0.0.975; and Photoshop CS3) under Vista Home Premium. I have two accounts on this system (one administrative "root," and my primary limited user account).
My problem: under my primary account (even if I switch it to administrative), unless I open raw files with ACR, I cannot access "Open in Camera Raw..." under the file menu (as it is grayed out and inaccessible while trying to open jpg files, etc.). However, using the administrative account I can access/use the command. I tried uninstalling CS3, switching my primary to administrative and reinstalling using my primary account, but it still appears grayed out and I still cannot open files using the abbrev "Ctrl+R." Note, I can open jpg files in ACR, but this must be the default for all jpg files not ones that I select to open.
Also, under preferences>Labels, I need to uncheck the "Require the Control Key to Apply Labels and Ratings" every time Bridge is restarted as it will not save from startup to startup. Any help is appreciated. --Greg

File- open displays only generic icons for psd and raw

Following a hard drive crash, I had to reinstall Photoshop CS5. I've updated to the latest version (12.0.1) and updated my NVIDA GEForce 8600 driver to the latest from Dell. This is on a Dell XPS 410, 4 GB memory and hundreds of gigs of hard drive space. When I use the File-->Open menu and dialog to look for images to use, while JPG and most TIF icons are thumbnail icons, the CR2, CRW, PSD and DNG icons are all generic. There is no problem in Bridge or in LightRoom. Opening the image in Photoshop doesn't seem to help.
While I obviously have options, when I just need to go looking quickly for an image I know is there, this makes it difficult to find. What can I do to get those previews back?
Thanks in Advance

Back up all data before continuing.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
mv Des*/.DS_Store .Trash/
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder, then empty the Trash. Test.

Setting "Open With" When App is Grayed Out

I'd like to set the default application for a file type used with a program called ExtendSim. I purchased the Mac version of this program but quite frankly, it isn't very Mac-like. Not sure if that is related to the problem.
I have no problems opening the project files if I open them through the application. However, I'd like to be able open the app by clicking on the files in the Finder. When I Get Info and then Open With on a file, no apps are listed. If I click on Other to navigate through my Applications, the app that opens the file is grayed out. Not sure if it matters but the app is stored in a folder inside the Applications folder.
Not sure if this is another clue, but when the app is open, the icon displayed in the doc is the generic application doc rather than the apps actual icon. The program is relatively recent-- purchased last month.
Thanks.

Talk to the developer of that application. It's his responsibility to provide the required meta information in the application bundle that enables OS X to launch documents with an application. He will also have to implement the actual ability to accept arguments on launch and to react to them correctly.
Unfortunately there are many programs that come from different platforms and do not respect platform specific design guidelines on the Mac. So there's probably nothing you can do.
Cheers,
Jazz

Open With Program I Want Grayed Out.

I am a Right Click iMac user and normally I right click on a media file that sits on the desk top I get a selection of what programs I can open the file with.
I like this becuase I don't always want to open it with the default program. The problem is the program I want to open the file with (Open With...) does not pop up on the list so I have to select "Other". Then I get a much bigger list of which is the one I am looking for which is Grayed Out.
I can select "All Applications" and it does un-gray it for this one time, but I wish to add this program as a permanant one that appears on the list without having to select "Others".

Hope this helps.

I presume you only want certain individual files to be opened by a particular program? e.g. You don't want all .MP4 audio files to open in iTunes for instance...
Seems when you right click on the file and choose "Open With..." "Other..." you select the program you want to open that file with and select the checkbox to "Always open with..."
That file (and only that file) will now be opened by the program you have selected.

Option for Creating Photshop File in Premiere Pro CS6 is grayed out

Inside of Premiere Pro CS6 (Windows version), when I try to select File > New > Photoshop File... the option is grayed out. I have the Project panel selected and have Photoshop CS6 running when I attempt this. Anyone have any ideas?

Well I appreciate the feedback. I did solve the problem. I was very wary of reinstalling software since I have so many 3rd party plug-ins that I would have to reinstall that would take forever. I notice that in After Effects it has a similar command File > New > Adobe Photoshop file, it was NOT grayed out but errored out when I tried to run it. It turned out that my Photoshop files were not being recoginized properly in Windows. The PS icon would not show up in the name column of Windows Explorer, although the Type woudl be correct. So if you clicked on a PSD file it would not open in PS unless you opened directly from PS. So I associated one PSD file in Windows Explorere with Photoshop CS6, which made the ICONS show up which solved all my problems in AE and Premiere. Easy fix, once you search the entire universe back and forth and think about it for a bit. (:

File Open ... then all greyed out?

Greetings,
CS5, 12.0.1, iMac, with 2.8 GHz INtel Core i7.
If I ask CS5 to open a file (File>Open) all menus simply grey out, and no dialog box appears to allow navigation to the file to be opened. Ultimately I have to Force Quit, though Photoshop is not shown as "not responding." in that dialog box. I'd appreciate any help understanding what is happening, and how to remedy.
Thank you,
Jim

The open dialog is probably there, just offscreen somewhere.
Pressing escape will close it.
Did you have another display connected recently? The OS may still think that display is active, and be putting the save dialog on that other display.
Also, Spaces has been known to cause wonkiness like that (because it tricks the apps into thinking that multiple displays are active, and doesn't always work).

"Open all in tabs" is grayed out on all Live Bookmarks

I subscribe to several RSS feeds through Live Bookmarks, but on the right-click menu for each, the "Open all in tabs" option is always grayed-out. How can I make it functional again?

You will have to use a feed reader extension to have this feature.
You can search the Add-ons website for such an extension.
