Extensions Panel greyed out in Photoshop CC

Hi, I wondered if anyone can help? Extensions under Windows is greyed out. I have checked my preferences. Any ideas?

The same thing was happening to me. This is how I fixed it in Windows.
Shut down Creative Cloud Desktop app/service and apps that use extensions
Go to c:\users\[username]\appdata\Roaming
Rename Extension Manager CC folder (I chose old_Extension Manager CC)
Uninstall Extension Manager from WIndows
Restart Creative Cloud Desktop app
Reinstall the Extension Manager
Let it update the extensions
Restart apps.
I hope this helps.

Extensions Panel greyed out in Photoshop CC on a Mac. Can't open Mini Bridge

I've just (yesterday) joined the Adobe Cloud, with full access to all the Adobe programs.
Opening Photoshop, I also wanted Mini Bridge open but the 'Extensions' item on the 'Window' menu is greyed out and can't be selected.
I've tried opening Bridge first, the Photoshop and vice versa, either way, the problem is the same. I've checked the Photoshop Preferences under 'Plug Ins' and made sure 'Load Extensions Panel' was ticked (which it was originally)
So, basically, no matter what I try, the Extensions Panel seems to remain greyed out.
Can any of you good people come up with the reason why this is happening and how I can solve i please?
Many thanks in advance

My main plug-in (resize 8) is not yet compatible, and so PS thinks there are no extensions, hence it's greyed out. but it took several days of troubleshooting to find this out.
If your resize 8 plug-in is from onOne then you need to install version 8.5.1 for the plug-ins to be available through extensions. Even before the 8.5.1 update to the suite the resize 8 plug-in was available via the File->Automate... menu item after a re-install of the suite so it detected CC 2014.

Extensions is greyed out in Photoshop CC 2014. Was working fine a day ago.

What is going on with CC? One day it works fine the next day something goes wrong! I can load extensions and show they are active but when I go into PS CC the extension is greyed out!

It turned out that I looked at the responses of others! They were all wrong! The simple resolution to the problem is to trash the prefs! Everything came back to order.

Extension panel greyed out in cc 2014

how do i get the extension panel to work in cc 2014 it is greyed out?

I don't think it's a bug. As mentioned below, for the plugins to work, they need to be updated to work with the new architecture that Adobe is using for the 2014 apps. Many devs have already announced updates are available for their plugins, like Red Giant, and many others on the way. So check with each plugin developer to see if updates are available.
Again, please keep in mind that Adobe haven't specifically said this. But it's documented that plugin developers have had the new architecture specs for at least a few weeks, and have been working on updates because the new versions are NOT COMPATIBLE with the old plugins.

Photoshop CC Window- Extensions Menu Greyed Out

This is Windows 8.1
In Photoshop CC the Window->Extensions Menu is greyed out. I have installed Adobe Extension Manager CC and installed Adobe Exchange 1.1.0.
When running photoshop CS6 the Windows->Extensions Menu is visible.
Also in Mac OSX 10.9 Photoshop CC the Windows-Extensions Menu is visible.

This seemed to work, as there were missing files:
I checked the folder CEPServiceManager4 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEPServiceManager4) and CEPServiceManager.exe was missing along with libcurl.dll, libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll. These dlls are used for network access.
Uninstall all the Adobe CC products using Prorams and Features
Go to C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\Adobe and delete the OOBE folder.
Go to C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\Temp and delete all the files/folders, you will not be able to delete some so ignore these.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Plug-ins and copy out any or your own plugins.
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins and copy out any or your own plugins.
Use the the Creative Cloud cleaner tool http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
Reinstall the CC apps.
Start Photoshop CC and if it asks to copy the Photoshop CS6 settings do this. It may not be necessary.
Exit Photoshop CC
Copy back our own plugins into C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Plug-ins and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins.
This seems to have solved the problem.

Help lighting effects greyed out in photoshop cc

Have an RGB image 8 bit , using macbook pro about 3 years old , the menu is greyed out cant access lighting effects filter . done search no luck
help please if possible . want to have sun light streaking through underwater
thanks

I had this problem and tried lots of things advised on here but nothing worked. Eventually I uninstalled Creative Cloud Desktop using the uninstaller then reinstalled it from the CC site. When I reopened Photoshop the Extensions menu was available and the add-ons loaded. I have done this on two Macs now and it worked both times.

Extensions tab greyed out, yet extension manager indicates the extensions are enabled

Recently downloaded trial version of photoshop cc (wanted my extensions to work before I purchased subscription), I also downloaded extension manager cc.
I installed a particular extension called Kubota Action Dashboard, it is enabled in the extension manager.
For some reason though when I open photoshop cc the extensions tab is greyed out and cannot be clicked on.
Any idea why this is the case? Why is the extension recognised in extension manager but not photoshop itself?
Thank you for any assistance

To answer my own question, it appears to be an issue with the maker of the extension and not with the adobe products.
Just found this. It's probably the same with other extensions too, the developers just have to catch up.
System Requirements
MAC:
Mac OS X 10.5 or higher
Photoshop® CS5, 5.5, 6, and CC (not compatible with CC 2014 at this time)

Why is my 3D menu greyed out? (Photoshop CC)

Sorry if I'm asking this in the wrong place, first time I attempt using these forums!
I have recently installed Photoshop CC, and I'm experiencing that the 3D menu is all greyed out - I remember using it without problems in CS5.

Hi NinjaMountainGoat,
There are some hardware requirements for the new software capabilities. To be able to use the 3D features in Photoshop, it is required that you have a video card that is atleast 512mb. To check what kind of video card capability you have, goto Help --> System Info. From there, you should see 'Video Card Memory: __MB'. If your memory card is only 256mb, it will not be able to handle the 3D features.
Below are two other helpful forum threads that may also answer your questions:

A/V Control panel greyed out

How to get that A/V Control panel in quicktime back its greyed out on the right side all functions disabled

I have the same problem, can't seem to get any support on this... Tried some of the things suggested for similiar problems, nothing works.

Design window - all panels greyed out (CC)

Hi.
Just using the trial version of DW CC, and liking it so far!
I'm using Split, and when I go to make a link in Design, the Properties box below is greyed out (as is the Insert panel). The only option left is to actually highlight the text in the Code panel and insert a link.
I've seen tuts where people are able to highlight in Design and place a link, etc. What gives?

Do you have Live View active?
You can't edit from the Live View window, if you turn it off, you should have access to those panels again.

"Use RAW files with external editor" greyed out for Photoshop CS2?

I've just upgraded from iPhoto 5, and the "Use RAW files with external editor" option in the advanced preferences is greyed out when I select Photoshop CS2 as my external editor (back in the General pane).
It works fine when Preview.app is selected. I can understand that pre-CS2 Photoshop wouldn't be available, but CS2 is capable of editing RAW images.
Has anyone been able to get iPhoto 6 to send a RAW image to Photoshop CS2 using this preference? I've written an Applescript to do it in iPhoto 5, but I'd rather use something cleaner...
15" PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Works great with Photoshop Elements, opens with Camera Raw. The issue is you can't save it so that iPhoto gets the changes.
You have to save it and then re-import. I tried all permutations of saving it in originals and modified folders in the library. No luck. The only thing I didn't try is to save it as a jpeg over the top of the full sized one iPhoto created on import.
