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).

I am trying to upload a file to an accounting website for work. It will not allow me to select any type of file, they are all greyed out.

Try using a different browser. If it works, then the problem is most likely Safari. If the other browser doesn't work, perhaps it is the web site.

Files open zoomed all the way out 1x1 pixel.

All of a sudden, every time I open a new document it opens up ALL ZOOMED OUT. like 1 x1 pixel. The same when I go command-0 (fit-on-screen), instead of fitting the document to the screen it zooms it all the way out. It's driving me nuts. Same happens with all photoshop documents.

Songs I recently downloaded are all Greyed out with a grey cloud next to them?

Recently got an iTunes gift card for Christmas and was at my family's house. I went on their iTunes and signed into my Apple ID Account to use my new gift card under my Account. Everything went fine until I went home and opened my iTunes account on my PC Windows Computer. The recently Downloaded songs are ALL Greyed Out with a Cloud next to them? Now I can't play any of these NEW SONGS I just purchased?!?! PLEASE HELP ME!!

I downloaded one of the file explorer programs (iFunbox in my case) for my PC and deleted everything out of the "Purchases" folder on the phone's "Raw File System". After a couple of syncs with iTunes everything was back to normal. It appears that something was screwed up on the iPhone side that iTunes couldn't sort out. I don't think anything could sync from iTunes to the phone, not just the greyed out items.
This is why resetting and restoring the iPhone also works for a lot of people. It's overkill though, deletes your app data, and just wastes your time setting everything back up after the restore. Better to use the surgical approach of a file system explorer program on your PC to fix what appears to be a mundane data corruption issue.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

Assuming this is an iCloud mail account, sign out of iCloud in its preference pane, then sign back in with the new password.

My songs are all greyed out

my songs are all greyed out on my laptop and I cannot get them to play

Will they play one track at a time and then stop, or not at all?
Assuming the former then it is likely that the tracks are unchecked. Go to the Songs view and Ctrl+Click on any empty checkbox to check all tracks.

Using all CC products on Mac ver 10.8.4
Thank you for any help!!!

The posts above actually mentioned two different issues. One is that MXP is not supported in EM CC, so when a user clicks "Install" button in EM and browses to the folder where MXP is located, all MXP files are greyed out in browse file dialog box; another is that "Extensions" menu item is greyed out in products such as PS, DW, etc. Is your issue the latter one? We didn't release update on January 15. Which update have you installed? What is your operating system (Windows or Mac)? It seems that your main issue is CC product update issue. I guess http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup/creative_cloud_faq or http://forums.adobe.com/community/creative_cloud is better forum for your question.

Choose it from where? See this user tip by Terence Devlin for how to access photos for use outside of iPhoto: How to Access Files in iPhoto
Have you tried dragging the photo from the iPHoto window into the open Word document window?

Photoshop CC Updates screen is all greyed out!

Hi, I bought Photoshop and Lightroom CC in the adobe offer last month.
But I dont see the updates happening.

What to do ?

Sounds like you need to give us a much detailed account of what your situation is, and possibly take your question to the CC forum.

You need to say what operating system you are using? We can see it is a Mac, but which one?
You say "It never worked." Do you mean Photoshop CC has never run on your system. I can see if that is CC or CS6 from your screen shot.
Do you have the Desktop Application manager installed? It uses this icon:
And looks like this when open (except I have a full sunscription)
Do you have that, and what do you see when you open it to the Apps tab?

Sound not working all greyed out

Hi, recently the sound stopped working on the family Imac. when using volume toggles the speaker icon is all greyed out and there is a kindof cancel icom below the volume level bar. also there are no devices listed in the sound output tab. tried reloading mountain lion, to no avail and ive read some discusions on the apple forums. also check the headphone jack and there is NO red light.

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Sync Apps tab all greyed out...

In iTunes 10 Apps tab, none of the options can be selected, they are all greyed out. The Sync Apps box is ticked but greyed out and unclickable.
I restored my my iPhone 3G earier today because I had my iPhone replaced at the Apple Store. Since then, every time I connect my iphone to iTunes this occurs, all the applications I already have appear in the box like normal but in grey; I cannot tick or select them... All the other sync functions work perfectly (eg. music, photos, podcasts etc...).
How can I fix this? I tried resetting my iPhone, restarting the computer and turning off restrictions and but all to no avail.

This has happened to me, too. The app icons won't load in the Synch Apps tab. They're all the same, gray, generic icon. The check boxes are really stubborn. I finally got a check mark to appear in a check box, but couldn't un-check it.
Off topic:
While trying to check and un-check an App on that Synch Apps list, I discovered that if you double-click on one of the app names in that list, the large image of the iPhone page, will change to show you where on your phone, that app is located... Handy if it's in a folder somewhere. Also found out that you can drag an app icon from your list of apps (the grid view of all of your purchased apps, accessible in the sidebar) to the name of your connected iPhone (listed in the iTunes sidebar) that dragged app will install on the iPhone...

Using the same Ethernet cable that is used to connect the modem to the AirPort Extreme, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme and connect it directly to your Mac as a test for 4-6 hours.
Be sure to power off the modem for 5-10 minutes when you do this, so that it will associate with the new device that it "sees".
Does the connection drop when you connect this way? If yes, then replace the Ethernet cable and run the test again for 4-6 hours.
If the connection still drops, you likely have a defective modem or a line problem on the cable service....despite what the cable company might say.
If the connection remains solid when you run the "test", then you know that the modem and Ethernet cable are working correctly.
If you have performed a factory default reset on the AirPort Extreme a few times, and connection still drops, then you should take the AirPort to an Apple Store....if you have one near you..... to let them take a look, or contact Apple Support directly.

Garage Band Loops are all greyed out,

There are no drum loops at all on my garage band. They are all "greyed" out. This is a new mac and came with leopard which I installed myself. Could it be that the install didn't go correctly and needs to be redone or is this something additional I have to purchase?
