Fonts grayed out in Illustrator type palette - How do I fix this?

I had OS 10.9 and Illustrator worked with no problems. I have recently upgraded to OS 10.10 and I now experience grayed out fonts in the Illustrator Type Window which I don't experience in Photoshop. I have CS5.1 for Illustrator. Has anyone experienced this? If so, do you know how to fix it?

Cauldie,
As I (mis)understand it, you may try this:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

  • My wifi is grayed out on my iPhone. How do I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 4S with iOS7.0.3 and my wifi suddenly grayed out making it unable for me to use it. I have already tried restarting my network settings and I also restarted my whole iPhone but it is still grayed out. And now my Sprint cellphone service isn't working either. Does it have something to do with Sprint? Please help me.

    Hey Brianasurfergirl,
    If your Wi-Fi is grayed out, these are the recommended steps:
    Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.

    I crossed off the one you had already mentioned doing. I would start off with these and see if it resolves both the Wi-Fi issue and the cellular issue as well.
    Take care,

  • TS4522 I have a finished project, but Final Cut Pro has grayed out the export option. How do I fix this to upload my file to youtube and burn dvds?

    Hi guys, I really need help trying to figure out why Final Cut Pro will not allow me to export my project. I have done this in the past and had no problems at all with other projects, and I have done nothing different from what i can tell. Any help???

    Hey Tom,
    Thankyou for your help. No, I have done this and it does not work. I have tried clicking and dragging, selecting the file in the project library, selecting individual files etc etc etc. The only thing that may have helped me out was last night...I clicked on a tab in FCP on the far right side (that must have something to do with exporting as well) and a small screen popped up after clicking it stating i cannot export the file while it is still referencing media off of the camera. I dont understand this either? I do have to have my camera connected before FCP will RECOGNIZE the media clips, but they have all been imported to my external hard drive and once i click import from camera, it is complete within seconds, so the hundreds of video clips i am using are obviously saved on there somewhere already....im at a loss here as to what to do. Do i have to literally download ALL MEDIA in each project to my computers hard drive before final cut pro will allow me to export any of the projects i create?? This seems like such backward thinking...I dont have nearly enough room on my computers intenal memory to do this with all my video clips!!!

  • XP Pro Windowsw/Fonts has a font.  It is listed as available in MS Word.  It is not listed as available in Adobe Illustrator CS6.  How do I fix this?  Thanks.

    BobbyH5280.  Very helpful answer!  I am XP for the next week on CS6.  I did find 3 items that helped.  The fonts are in AI, but are listed on the bottom of the list.  Also in Edit/Preferences/Type, checking "Show Font Names in English" makes the font list easier to read (doesn't appear to change the sort order though), and (with your suggestion) checking "Sow Asian Options" might do something positive.  Thanks to all of you who sent in tips.

I have the manually manage music button checked, and I can play them on itunes, but on my iphone they appear gray and won't play.  There doesn't seem to be any reason, as one song from an album will play, but the other 9 won't....

  • The option to add a hyperlink to a text or image is greyed out and not functional.  How do I fix this?

    The option to add a hyperlink to text or an image in pages is greyed out.  How do I fix this?

    Peter is correct. However, one can clever up two overlayed, grouped Text Box and simulate a hyperlinked image that can be placed in the document body with text flowing around the image. Moving the image requires temporarily turning off the hyperlink in the Link inspector. Example was Pages ’09 v4.3 on OS X 10.8.4.
    Steps:
    From the Pages Toolbar, select Text Box twice. The Text Box will be slightly offset. Select and drag the offset one to just above the centered one.
    Click inside the centered Text Box and back out the placeholder text. Now select this Text Box and choose the graphic inspector.
    Choose Fill > Image Fill. Choose your image, and then Scale to Fit the entire Text Box.
    From the Pages arrange menu, choose Make Background Objects Selectable, and Send Object to Background.
    In the Wrap inspector, select Object Causes Wrap, and your choice there. My example was door #2.
    Click inside your text-only Text Box. Change the placeholder text to three instances of the capital letter ‘O.’
    Launch the Font panel (command+T).
    Manually change the font size to 92 points. This just fits a default Text Box size without wrapping. I used Times New Roman Regular.
    Select the text, and with the Link inspector, enable your choice of hyperlink, and also disable it (for now) with the “Make all hyperlinks inactive.”
    With the text still selected, choose Font color from the Font panel. At the bottom of the Color tool, set the Opacity of your text to zero.
    Drag the transparent text-only Text Box exactly over the top of your image Text Box. Use the blue guides.
    From the Pages edit menu, Select All. From the Pages Arrange menu, choose Group.
    Drag the Text Box group where you want it in your document body. Text will flow around it if you used my setting in the Wrap inspector.
    Lastly, with the Text Box group selected, disable “Make all Hyperlinks inactive” in the Link Inspector. You now effectively have a text map overlaying your image and the mouse pointer changes to a hand. The link is now active. Exporting your Pages document to PDF preserves the hyperlinked image effect in both Preview and Acrobat Reader.

    All of the sudden when I was trying to open AI I got a screen with "Illustrator Licensing for this product has stopped working",  and error code: 150:30 how do I fix this?

    Reinstall the software properly and fix the permissions on your Library folder. Apple keep messing with this with every update...

  • I have always been able to email photos (although ONE AT A TIME), but since apple replaced my dead IPad2 no one is receiving my photos.  I just found out two months later!  How can I fix this?

    Since apple replaced my dead IPad2 I can not email photos.  I didn't know that no one was receiving them until today.  How can I fix this?

    I don't understand the ONE AT A TIME lament, as it's pretty easy to email more than one at a time. Have you tried to and been unable or didn't know that you could?
    As for no one receiving, well .... first, review how you're trying to do it and, as a check, email some to yourself. That will be a good first check.

  • The drag and drop functionality is grayed out in Captivate 8. How do I turn this on?

    I'm trying to play with drag and drop functionality in Captivate 8, but it's grayed out. All the tutorials I've watched show it working, but in my project, I can't access it. Any ideas?

    I asked about this in another thread, to add a list of what is NOT supported in responsive projects to the documentation:
    objects detected by the HTML5 tracker
    Drag&Drop as you discovered
    line shape
    free polygon shape
    This is my list. Answer in another thread from the staff was: what is dimmed, grayed out is not available. Not a pleasant way to discover limitations, although I understand not everything could be implemented in this very first version of Captivate responsive design functionality.

  • My iphone thinks I'm using a headphone when I'm not, and no sound comes out of the phone. How can I fix this?

    It works fine in my car (when it's connected to bluetooth). But otherwise, the sound on the phone is dead.
    What can be wrong and how can I fix it?

    Please not that the iPhone uses mono channel for internal speakers, the other path that you see is not the speaker per say. It is the phone microphone. Try using headphones, you will hear both channels. If the problem still persists when using headphones, check your sound balancing in the settings. Go to setting-general-accessibility scroll down and check the slide under mono audio. It should be put at the centre for you to hear both channels ON YOUR HEADPHONES

  • My Macbook pro 13 inch is stuck on a gray screen with the apple logo, how do I fix this?

    Sooo, I was using my laptop for a while and the charger was kind of broken, it was dip in and out, and slowly I got a "Service Battery" notification. I updated my system and now everytime I try to boot up my computer it'd show a gray screen with the apple logo and a loading bar with a circular loading icon but it never actually boots up. It stays stuck at that loading screen. I don't think it's because I uploaded my system that it happened, but I'm wondering if it's because I didn't change my charger/battery, and I'm wondering if I have to get the harddrive changed or is there a way for me to recover my files and whatnot without having to whip it. Please help, and thanks in advice to any help offered.

    Dwaniej,
    you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the  OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get past the grey screen now?
