Card: Clear custom image grayed out

I'd like to print a couple of emails wihtout my image on it. Unfortunately in address book 'clear custom image' in the card menu is grayed out once i have selected my own card with the image in question. I'm stuck - f* What to do??

I have posted this question to the Address Book discussion instead. I would delete this thread if I could but don't see a way to do that. Sorry for the double-posting.

I recently upgraded my Mac to Yosemite and I can't use the custom function (grayed out) in Image Trace Illustrator CS6 (physical version). Anyone else having this issue?

Custom will show automatically as soon as you just edit some options. So just go ahead, you don't need to select "custom"

Custom sort grayed out

Custom sort is grayed out on my Lightroom 5 menu. How do I change that so I can rearrange the images?

Something else I've noticed, my users are having intermittent problems with deleting recurring appointments: sometimes they'll try to delete single instances and they won't be deleted.

"Custom Repeat" grayed out in Web Calendar

I've got a couple of web calendars set up for attendance, conference calls, and that sort of thing. For the con calls specifically, we'd love to be able to set things as "the 2nd wednesday of the month" or the "last friday of the month", but the "custom" option is grayed out when creating items. This question has been asked previously here:

Wondering if anyone had any ideas before I call Applecare on this.

Clear custom image Q

Somehow the custom image on my personal card in Address Book shows up on hundreds of my other contacts in Address Book. It gets very tedious deleting the custom image on each card one by one. Is there a bulk command to delete the custom image from all cards?

hello, I solved it for real, as asked.
I copied the System icons for guest user, converted them to tiff, and packed them with instructions, basically adding them to the user icons folder.
It needs to be known to people that the user login picture you have for OS X is used for your adress book. Changing the icon in iChat for example to the mobileme-cloud didn't affect the one in address book, nor the login one for OS X. It is a useful request to have a system wide option in the accounts Preferences (IMHO) to set the desired picture once and for all system wide and for internet visibility (iChat)

Why is the "Custom" option grayed out in the Image Trace drop down menu?

I'm going crazy here. On two different versions of Illustrator (CS6 on Windows 7 and CC on Windows 8.1) I'm trying to customize the options on an image trace from the drop down menu. On both versions I can't click Custon and when I tried to use the presets it just completes the action and doesn't allow for tweaks.
I've used three different file formats (PNG, JPEG, TIFF) and tried embedding and copying and pasting with no luck. In past versions this was never a problem. What is going on here?

Just select the Image trace panel from the window menu and then customize it.

Imported images gray out...won't drag to timeline???

Have a new intel Duo 2 Core iMac...iMovie6...
just about finished with a short video, trying to add several imported jpeg images at the end. When I click on the image, it highlights blue...thus letting me know it recognizes I've connected with it. As soon as I try and drag it to the timeline, it desaturates to light gray and appears locked. Nothing drags.
I tried highlighting and copying the clips...positioned the cursor on the timeline, figuring I could paste...but "paste" was not emboldened, thus that option is out.
Ideas what is happening here??
thanks
Larry

Our intel is new as I said, and my experience up to this point has been a couple hard at it months on iMovie 5...
...and I say that to refer to an additional thing that seems weird thus far with iMovie6...
I tried copying a clip and then paste to create an additional clip for the video. Something I was able to do in iMovie5...
The clip highlights, I go to "copy"...and then when I line the playhead, going to "Edit" I do not see "Paste" as an option given to me.
I'm wondering...is this a glitch or something with iMovie 6...???

Migrated iPhoto images grayed out

I just received my new MacBook Pro this week. I migrated information from my iMAC to the MacBook Pro. I opened iPhoto and all the images that are in iPhoto are blank dashed-lined boxes. Before migrating I update the iMac to make sure everything was as new as possible. I there anything I can do to fix the images other than just trashing all the images and getting the images from the old iMac on a disc or card and then reburning them on the new MacBook?

Usually one sees this, when LR believes the images are already imported. You are certain that your Catalog does not already include them? On my PC, when I hover over one of these greyed-out images, I get a tooltip which (among other things) explains that "this photo has already been imported". Also if you change the selector at the top of the Import dialog grid from "all photos" to "new photos", if the thumbnail grid then becomes empty, that is your explanation. LR doesn't think these are new images.
I believe that the "don't import suspected duplicates" option - which is turned on by default - will also reject images that appear to be mere extra renames of the same original camera file - due to showing the same original capture file name in the EXIF metadata.
But in order for "don't import suspected duplicates" to activate, there have to be images present which these new ones would be duplicates of. So I would advise first checking for any LR filters, or other selective viewing that might be currently stopping you from seeing these if they are within LR.
Repeatedly importing files is likely not the answer; once should be enough AFAICT.

F-28 Incoming payment BSEG-XREF1/2 & BSEG-XREF3 grayed out on clearing line

We apply payment Using SAP standard transaction code F-28 - post incoming payment.
Business requirement is to capture Reference Key 1/2 & Reference Key 3 are on cleared as well as partial line items. Populating these fields will help reconciliation.
I have opened up these fields for data entry via
SPRO - Financial Accounting - Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
- Business Transactions - Incoming Payments - Make and Check Document
Settings- Define Posting Keys.
These fields are available only for partial or payment on account. For clearing lines its grayed out completely.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Uday Malghan

I would like to share workaround. As mentioned in my prior mail these fields were open for entry, however SAP prevents any changes. Opening up OSS message with SAP was not helpful. To get around I decided to create substitution rule to populate these fields. It works fine. I thought sharing with this forum. Thanks for for your time.

Using Cap6, need to create menu screen that allows user to click a button, branch to other screens, and return to main menu. When returning to the main screen the button that was clicked will be grayed out or inactive. How do I do this? I created image

I am trying to emulate a piece of equipment. I need the user to be able to click on specific buttons that will take the user to another screen(s). After viewing those screens the user will be directed back to the main screen where the user would know which buttons had been pressed and which still needed to be pressed. I create image buttons with the 3 states - that worked except when the user returns the slide is reset and so the user does not see the 3rd state of the button. How can I get that 3rd state to stay after user returns to the main screen?

Hi Elizabeth,
Since I just did this morning what you are currently attempting to do, I thought I'd share my method. I must provide a disclaimer and tell you that I am not an expert in Captivate advanced actions--like you, I am still figuring them out. However, I am happy to share here anything I have learned thus far.
First, here is what my initial slide looks like (see interaction slide below). I created all of the icons (including the 'grayed out' icon on the second screenshot) in a few minutes using Adobe Illustrator. The icons have been imported as custom multi-state buttons so that I could have the desired effect when the user hovers over the image--the yellow 'explore' flag appears only when the mouse is over the icon. When the learner click either image, they are sent to the corresponding slide. Once both slides are viewed, a 'continue' button will appear at the base of the screen (something I've not figured out--I sent an email to Lieve begging for some guidance).
The initial slide (interaction slide):
Second, here is a depiction of what happens when the learner returns to the interactive slide from the content slide (see image below): Once the learner visits the 'Battery Content' slide and then returns to the interaction slide, the images have changed. The multi-state button is hidden (through the advanced action), the replacement image (the image with the completed banner over it) is shown, and a hidden click box to allow the user to return to the previously visited page (just in case they desire to do that) is "shown" to allow navigation since the button is no longer there (because it is magically hidden).
Content Slide 1:
Remember, there may be an easier way to do this in Captivate. I am using Cp6 for this module.
1. I created two user variables as follows
Name: v_batteryExplore
Value: 0
Name: v_fuelExplore
Value: 0
2. I created an advanced action for each as shown below (showing only one--duplicate the first and change the names to match the content):
Credit: I learned these steps from @Lilibiri and Dr. Pooja Jaisingh!
I have also noticed that it matters where the buttons are located on the timeline. It seems best to have buttons above all other content. Not sure why, but I have had images not appear when I have not done this.
And the last step you do not want to forget; you need to remember to tell Captivate to use the action.
As a final note, remember that the elements you do not want to appear on the initial screen must not be initially visible. Make sure to set them to invisible by removing the checkmark in the 'Visible in output' box located next to the button name. In my case, the image of the completed battery and the invisible button to allow a revisit of content was initially hidden. Here is a final screenshot of my timeline for this interaction. I hope this information helps you!

Can't add Custom Image to Contact Card

Just upgraded to Snow Leopard. Noticed that when making up a new contact card, I can't just drop an image (somebody's face) into the Custom Image box anymore. The box lights up -- highlighted in blue -- but it won't accept the image. Any ideas?

Similarly, I'm on 10.6.2. Since Snow Leopard came out, I have been unable to add/edit any "Custom Images" in my Address Book entries. Everyone in my AB is stuck with the image they had in my Leopard Address Book. Looks like there's several threads on this, but no great (i.e. Apple-fixed0 solution I've seen so far.
What does work for me now is:
1. going to the Finder,
2. select the Address Book application (make sure the app isn't running),
3. Get Info
4. Select the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox
5. Open the Address Book app, and begin editing images

Contact sheet images are grayed out

I have made an album of black and white images and want to print them as a series of contact sheets. The sheets look good when customized, but when I tell it to print, all but the first two of the previewed images are grayed out and not worth printing. Is this an iPhoto or a printer problem or something I'm missing? The images were converted from B&W film negatives. This happens whether using the Macbook Pro or the Macbook.

what color profile do they have? If it is gray scale it will not work - they must have sRGB as the color profile for use with iPhoto (they will still display and print black and white)

"Scan" button grayed out in Image Capture.app

Two days ago my scanner was working fine with Image Capture. Just now when I tried to scan again, Image Capture sees the scanner and does the "Overview" scan just fine, however when I go to do the actual scan, the SCAN button is grayed out and I can't scan my documents. Does anyone know what might be going on?

I reselected the scanner and that seemed to do the trick.

I've spent an hour plus googling this and none of the 'fixes' works. My custom ringtones show up fine in itunes but are grayed out in iphone when I try to sync. This just happened when I synced my phone: previously worked fine.

I've spent an hour on this: massively frustrating. My custom ringtones disappeared from iphone when I just sync'd and now show up in itunes/iphone interface (on the mac) grayed out: won't sync to phone. I know the audio files work because they were fine two hours ago! (iphone 5 running 8.1.3)

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

How do I backup my MacBook Pro when the disk image is grayed out?

I have a MacBook Pro (15 inc. four years old) running OSX 10.6.8 and last night I got the color pinwheel of death. I could not force quit anything and had to manually power down.
When I powered back up I got the folder with the question mark. I ran Disk Utility and tried to Repair Disk, but I got:
Disk Utility stopped repairing "diskOs2"
...Back up as many of your files as possible
Details: Invalid B-tree node size
The volume could not be verified completely
Volume repair complete
Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk, Back up... at the disk, and restore your backed-up files
I hooked up an external hard drive and tried to make a copy of the disk image, but it is grayed out. I also tried to partition the main Hitachi drive and make a "New Image" but I got: "Unable to create backup (input/output error)
So I now have a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow, but I can't even back up my computer before going. I can have them tell me what to do, but then I'll have to go home and do it, and then make a second appointment.
Any suggestions? Oh, and I backed up this computer about six weeks ago on Time Machine, but I'd love to make a copy of all new files I've created since then.
Thanks!

You have two options. Purchase Disk Warrior or erase the drive. The former would require your ability to install a download of DW on a bootable disk so you could repair your hard drive. And, DW costs $99.00. The latter requires a Snow Leopard installer DVD from which you can boot, erase the hard drive, then reinstall Snow Leopard. Then download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can then restore from your Time Machine backup. There is no way now for you to backup files unless you can access the drive. Open Disk Utility, select the entry for your disk volume then click on the Mount icon in the toolbar. If your volume mounts on the Desktop then you may be able to copy files to an external drive or even run a Time Machine backup.
