FCE menus greyed out after render.

If I have a large render task and leave for an hour or so, when I return all of my toolbar dropdowns (save, etc) are greyed out and I can't do anything but force quit and start over. This has started occuring after upgrading to Tiger.
Any advice?

I had this problem some months ago, but don't have it anymore. What worked for me was: try to close the project (either by CTRL-W in the browser, or perhaps just clicking on the close button at the top left corner of the browser window). When the confirmation dialog comes up, cancel it. After cancelling, the menus should come back (your mileage may vary).
Why I don't have this problem now, I'm not sure. I've been running Tiger & QT 7.0.1 for sometime now, and don't have the problem. If anything, Tiger might have fixed the problem.

All menus greyed out after transfer to new computer via Migration Assistant

Hi!
My collegue just moved all his stuff to a new computer using the Migration Assistant.
All seem to work fine except Apple Remote Desktop 3 which start up, but the main window isn't shown and the menus are all grey.
We have tried to re-install and also tried to toss everything that's related to ARD (Like the ”Remote Desktop” folder in /Library/Application Support/Apple and the ARD prefs. file in ~/Library/Preferences) and re-installed again, but still the same.
Any ideas?
A permission problem somewhere perhaps?

It helped to do this command:
+sudo rm -rf /var/db/RemoteManagement+

This let us type in the serial number again when starting up the ”Remote Desktop.app” and all seems fine.

From your screenshot it says that 11.1.2.2 Foundation has been installed when it should say 11.1.2.1 like this - http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J_9A8U41JS0/T5WXO3JQtxI/AAAAAAAAEj8/0nqcNdo1bFQ/s1600/image022.png
Also you should only have the option to "Apply maintenance release" like this - http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1zQHVCODSr0/T5WXNLQN4YI/AAAAAAAAEj4/vNQ_vOT03_8/s1600/image021.png in your screenshot you also have the option to Re-install the release.
Are you definitely sure the environment has had nothing applied to it.
Cheers

Project pane greys out after adding either HD movie footage or a photo'

Project pane greys out after adding either HD movie footage or a photo' into iMovie '08. Since using a HD camcorder, quite often, after adding either HD movie footage or a photo', the project pane greys out. I have to exit the project and re-enter to continue viewing the project; this is tiresome. Any thoughts or is this yet another iMovie '08 bug?

every app as a preference list, which can get corrupted.
quit iM
look in user/Library/Preferences for a file called com.apple.iMovie(x).plist (x stands for any number) ....
trash that.
restart iMovie..
it doesn't hurt your projects nor does it touch any files.. it just 'resets' an app.. => slapp on backhead.. as I like to call it..
yes, hardware is nice, as long as you don't dare to handle AVCHD .. that is on Intel Mac only..

Why is my diabled login greyed out after i unlock it? I have tried to remove the library file but it doesn't work

Why is my diabled login greyed out after i unlock it? I have tried to remove the library file but it doesn't work. It worked the first time and than all of a sudden it was greyed out.

Where do you see a disabled login? In system preferences? In Login screen?

My ibook G4 display greys out after a few seconds, clicking on the screen returns it to normal.

My ibook G4 display greys out after a few seconds, clicking on the screen returns it to normal functioning. I have adjusted the delay times before the computer goes to sleep to no avail, so I'm thinking this issue stems from something else.

Have you tried resetting the PMU? The PMU (Power Management Unit) has control over the sleep function, so resetting it may help if the iBook is sleeping unexpectedly.

After Lion upgrade all iPhoto menus greyed out

I have a problem with iPhoto after a Lion upgrade. I haven't run it since I did the upgrade but with iCloud etc I wanted to ... but when I run it I just get the menu bar with no app screen, all the menus are greyed out. The version is 9.2
The iPhoto prefs pane works but the accounts tab hangs and requires a force quit.
I tried sending the app to the trash and re-installing it but I can't figure out how to re-install the apps from my original macBook Pro OS/X disk (which is SL) because it only gives me the option to re-install the OS (and it won't replace Lion with SL anyway) (nor do I want it to) or to do the optional installs like the dev stuff.
Has anyone else seen this a know of a fix??
Thanks, RJ

IPhoto 9.4.2 failing to load pix...menus greyed out

Hello all.
I have a seven-year-old Mac Pro (2 x 2.66GHz Dual Core Intel) running OS X 10.7.5 and I've tried everything to fix this problem.
It arose when iPhoto (9.4.2) crashed as I was dragging and dropping a jpeg file into it from my desktop.
Now when I launch iPhoto it loads partially but won't load pictures and most of its menus are greyed out as below.
To fix it I have tried the following...
1. Uninstalled and reinstalled iPhoto after downloading a new one from the App Store
2. Dump the iPhoto plist files in /private/var/db/receipts folder.. are there any more I don't know about?
3. Reinstalled the OS via recovery disk
4. Installed a NEW OS 10.7.5 on one of my drives, used that a start-up, ran iPhoto from its original location... and it WORKS.
I am reluctant to move everything to the newly-installed OS but will if necessary.. but I'm fascinated to know if is there a simpler solution to this mystery?
All help gratefully appreciated!

Restore your backup from before the crash - or less likely Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
And drag and drop has issues right now so I would recommend exporting rather dragging and dropping

Wifi Greyed Out After OS 4.0.2 Upgrade

Well two days ago I updated my IPhone 3G to OS 4.0.2 and now I wish I hadn't....
OS 4.0 was bad enough but after upgrading to 4.0.2 I have now completely lost the ability to connect to Wifi networks.
Basically the wifi option in settings is totally greyed out and it states "No Wifi".
I've tried hard reboot, double hard reboot, reseting network settings.
Wifi worked fine with OS 4.0 but has now gone grey under 4.0.2.
I've had a good look through the forums and can't find anything in relation to a fix.The OS 4.0 update has killed so many peoples wifi is there a fix available yet for this?
If not looks like tonight I will be trying to roll back to OS 3 if I can and fingers crossed this fixes it.
For those who are unaware to make the 3G phone run faster under OS 4.0 make sure you have no Safarai pages open when not using the internet and have turned off the spotlight search under things where its not needed.
Thanks
Steve

I also have the same issue.
It happens when the phone was upgraded to 4.0.1
I sent my 3G to provider and they said that it is a hardware problem. Anyway since my iphone it is not under warranty they do not replace the phone.
Trying to fix the problem I restore the phone twice today. In both cases the wifi works perfectly only for a few moments and then it is lost permanently.
As a result I think that it is not a hardware problem but probably the update 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 cause the issue. With those updates apple tries to fix the antenna problem in iphone 4 as I can remember

TS3899 Mailbox occasionally becomes greyed out after io7 update on iPhone 5

When I go to mail sometimes one of my mail boxes is greyed out (always the same one). I can see mail in there if I go to 'All Inboxes' but I can't directly access the mailbox until I go to 'Mail, Contacts, Calandars' select the account click on the GMAIL account then click 'Done'. After this the mailbox ceases to be greyed out... until the next time it happens.
I have tried rebooting the iPhone and reseting it. Ihave also deleted the mail account and re-added it but I still get the issue.
Any ideas?

I Have fumbled all day to this resolved, I'll run the battery down and see what happens afterwards. This is not good !

"Motion 4" icon greyed out after upgrading to Yosemite - Did Yosemite break "Motion 4" in Final Cut Studio?

Against my better judgement (now that Apple has turned into Microsoft 10 years ago, breaking apps with every OS update, followed by radio silence from Apple, pretending like they didn't do anything), I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite and noticed that my Motion 4 icon is now greyed out. Thanks Apple.
I still do the majority of my work in Final Cut Pro 7, with many, many, Motion 4 projects embedded in the timeline (so that I can change them in Motion and have them seamlessly updated in my Final Cut Pro project), including an unfinished feature length documentary on gay and lesbian history from 2000 BC until 1900 AD. Should I just throw the entire film into the rubbish bin? I would presume that Motion 5.1.2 is incompatible with Final Cut 7? So what am I supposed to do now?
1 - Downgrade to Mountain Lion (or heck, why not Snow Leopard?)?
2 - Switch to Adobe Premiere?
3 - All of the above?
Thanks (for nothing, Apple).
MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display

After some peacefull time my system crashed completely on Friday!
I installed all from Scratch to make sure its not some old stuff that I carried on during migration.
It's not a problem with the motion files as I deleted all of them and XML export is still crashing!
The situation is, that after installing it all I got the same quicktime translation error again and I am quite angry about how Apple handles clients who are working on projects with the recent FCP story.
Unfortunately due to the problems in exporting XML I am not even able to switch to Adobe Premier as this is the only way to import there.
After a lot of testing I am quite sure, that this issue has to do something with an Apple Update release between June 2011 and now.
Conclusion: Final Cut Studio II is not working correctly anymore as it did before June 2011!!! Apple, Please fix this issue asap.!!!!

SSRS Parameter Drop downs are greyed out after changes to SSAS cube

Hi
I am facing a weird problem. I have 3 SSRS reports that are based on an SSAS cube. Few days back I deployed some changes to cube and everything works ok on dev environment. When I deployed the same changes to production, SSRS reports don't work. I don’t
get any error or anything when I click open the report but all the parameter boxes are greyed out. If I restore SSAS database from dev to production then SSRS reports work fine and I can select parameter drop downs. What could possibly wrong here. I have no
idea to what to troubleshoot here.
Thanks
Nik

Hi Nik,
Are you using render the report from a report snapshot? In contrast with reports that run on demand, it is not possible to specify a different parameter value for a report snapshot when the report is open. So the parameter textbox is grayed out. If the users
want to view the report with different parameter, we can select “Always run this report with the most recent data” option in “Processing Options properties” page.
Besides, if the issue is not in this scenario, we can try to edit the report with Report Builder to check whether the report is ok. Such as delete the parameters, then recreate them to check again.
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Songs greyed out after hard disk failure

Hi,
I've been looking though the many, many () posts on here regarding songs greyed out and unplayable but none seem to match my exact problem.
I recent had the hard-disk fail on my macbook so, as a temporary mesasure I had to use a smaller, spare hard-disk I had lying around until I could buy a replacement.
Having de-clutered my life some time ago from keeping my music on CDs I had a lot of music on my phone which I didn't want to lose. I downloaded iExplorer and attempted to move my music across however a lot of my songs are now greyed-out on my iPhone and do not appear on iExplorer.
Did I lose everything?

Many thanks!
Your advice pushed me to reinstall.
I entered the licencing info from a popup that appeared after launching LR5 and just did what required. It worked just ok!
At first installation, I closed the popup with the idea to check my LR-Photo-archive in first step. Once I could check that all my pictures were ok, I entered manually the licence data from <help> + <LR registration>; registration steps and program behaviour were slightly different and were unsuccessful each time I tried.
I have to tell that my current LR5 licence is issued from upgrade from LR4... may be licence number required were first previous one or I entered the bad one...
Anyway, happy that recovery and reinstalling process ran properly.
Thank you again.

"Place in" function in Bridge greyed out, after uninstalling previous version of CC.

I recently updated to the CC 2014 version of the apps. After that I removed the previous versions of Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator.
Now the 'Place In" function in Bridge is greyed out. I tried restoring File associations, re-installing Bridge etc... but nothing worked. It's still unavailable.
Is there any way I can link Bridge with the 2014 apps again so I can use the 'place in' function again?

There are 2 startup scripts in Bridge: "Adobe Bridge CC" script & "Auto Collection Scripts CC 2014". When I click 'reveal all my startup scripts' I get an empty folder.
I also tried resetting my preferences but that didn't help. The 'Place in...' function is still greyed out.
I also had to manually set all the file associations with my apps because bridge always tried to open the previous versions from Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC etc...
(in fact...If I reset the file associations, bridge defaults back to the previous versions for all apps... and then I have to change it again to the CC 2014 version)
It's as if Bridge doesn't know I have the CC 2014 version and can't communicate with it.
