Grayed Out Thumbnails In Lightroom 3 Using Windows 7 (64 bit)

I just installed Lightroom 3 on a new Win7 64-bit HP computer. I imported some photos and it appeared to go OK, but all the thumbnails in the Grid View and in the Film Strip are grayed out when in Library. They is also no image displayed in Develop. If I mouse over any thumbnail in Library, however, the file attributes are displayed, so I know the images are there. I can also see the thumbnails in the Web module.
I also installed Lightroom 2, which ran fine on my 32-bit, but its thumbnails are also grayed out in 64-bit. Do you suppose this is a 64-bit problem?

Right your are, Beat. I'm planning on getting a Spyder3, but in the meantime
I thought I would try running the Windows monitor calibration procedure
(partly described below).
Kind regards,
Ron
Calibrating your display helps to ensure that colors are represented
accurately on your monitor. In Windows, you can use Display Color
Calibration to calibrate your display.
   If you have a display calibration device that came with other software,
   consider using the color measurement device with the accompanying software
   instead of Display Color Calibration. Using the calibration device with the
   accompanying calibration software that often comes with it can help you get
   the best color on your display. In general, using a color measurement
   instrument to calibrate your display will result in a better calibration
   compared to the results of doing a visual calibration (which is done in
   Display Color Calibration).
   Display Color Calibration is not available in Windows Server 2008 R2.
   1.
   Click to open Display Color
Calibration.<shortcut:%25systemroot%25\system32\dccw.exe>
   image: Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an
   administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide
   confirmation.

Inactive (grayed out) thumbnails in New Tab. I have 6 in use, 3 grayed out.

Inactive (grayed out) thumbnails in New Tab.
I have 6 in use, 3 are grayed out. I tried dragging a bookmark into the thumbnail but that actually opens the website instead of fixing the thumbnail. How do I activate these grayed out thumbnails? Firefox 29. Windows7. Thank you.

The thumbnails are generated from the disk cache, so make sure that the cache is enabled and working and that you do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cache as this disables the disk cache (see about:cache).
Note that pages loaded via a secure HTTPS link aren't showing on the about:newtab page and also pages that aren't in the cache for some reason (they may be sending no-cache headers; see Tools > Page Info > General) have no thumbnails.

Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

How to find out if I am using a 32 bits or 64 bits version of JRE?

How to find out if I am using a 32 bits or 64 bits version of JRE?
If I have 2 instances of Java installed in 2 seperate directories, one 32 bits and other 64 bits on Linux. How do I identify which directory holds which version?
Is there any command that can output this info?
Regards,
Billamama

With a Sun JDK or JRE, you can use java -version:
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)
... switch to the 64-bit JDK ...
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)
The last line says "64-Bit."

Illustrator CS3 grays out and locks when using Save or Save As

In the past few days everytime I try to save an existing or new file with Save or Save As i see the save dialog box flash and then the whole program locks and grays out. The only way to close is to do a control-alt-delete. This happens for new files and existing files. I tried renaming the preference file so it would create a new one and that didn't work. I have cleaned out the temp files and I have plently of memory and RAM so that is not the issue either. We can't seem to find our CDs to do another install so are there any other ideas someone can give? this is also happening with my Photoshop CS3 and my InDesign CS3. I think it may have something to do with a microsoft update... thats the only thing that has changed on my PC in the last week. Oh and i also did a virus scan, nothing. thanks

The video card is opening the Save dialog offscreen, outside the visible desktop area.
Select Alt+ Spacebar, choose move and then use the arrow keys to move the dialog box back on screen and resize it so it fits and opens in the correct position.

The add image button is grayed out. I am using Story Free but have a Cloud license. None of the upgrade buttons work.

I have a cloud license but am not able to upgrade Story Free to the Plus version for some reason. In any case I cannot add images to my multi column script because the add image button is grayed out. Any ideas would be welcome.

I am employed by HP

I subscribe to the Cloud for Premiere CC only to find out it does not allow me to download the older version of CS4. I am still using Windows 32 bits. Anyway i can get the serial for the CS4 or the Cloud subscription is not valid for CS4 ??

Help needed.

You may use CS6 via the Cloud... or buy CS6 directly without the Cloud Creative Suite 6
CS4 is SO old that it is no longer sold
Premiere Elements still has a 32bit version http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements/content

I have psc 1315 all-in-one printer. i use windows 64 bit. i can not print any picture on a web site

i am looking forward to hearing from you

Hello @annlf
Welcome to the HP Community!
I hope to help you with the scanning concern you have today.
Unfortunately, you will not be able to scan using HP software with your PSC 1315 (older model), on Mavericks (newer OS X), as there is no Full Feature driver (includes scanning software) available.
However, you do have some other options to scan. See this link for your options. Scroll down when the guide loads and select "How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?"

Flattener Preview Highlight Settings Grayed Out

Had to re-install of my Adobe programs due to an overal computer issue.
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 - Adobe Acrobat X - Adobe InDesign CS5.5
I have not had this issue before the reinstall. I have a Adobe InDesign file and did an export to PDF.
I chose Adobe PDF Preset - Smallest File Size, I used the default settings for Smallest File Size preset.
When I opened that file in Acrobat and went to Tools > Print Production > Flattener Preview
When the Flattener Preview window opens at the top it show preview settings. Under the "Highlight" section
the selections are grayed out. I am using items with tranparency within the PDF. Also I have successfully used this
option with this file before. Not sure what is causing the highlight options to be grayed out.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

After hours of messing with this I think I figured it out! Seems like a possible bug in the program. Turns out that even though pages throughout the PDF had trasparency, in this particular case, the first page in the PDF did not. So the "highlight" pull-down menu window is grayed out and it seems to be because the first page does not have transparency even though I had "all pages" checked.
So I went back into the PDF and selected a page that HAD transparency. Then when back into the flattener preview settings and clicked on "all pages" and went back to the "Highlight" menu and trasparency selections were there.
So seems like a weird bug in Acrobat that you have to have a page in the preview window that has transparency for it to work on all pages.
Hope this makes sense!

Why is Messages screen sharing icon grayed out?

Trying to do remote screen sharing with my mom's Mac using the new feature in Yosemite.
If you're not familiar with it, the new method does not require AIM, Jabber, etc and is independent of screen sharing settings in System Preferences (per Messages Help).
The procedure is:
In the main Messages window, select the name of the person you want to share with or, if you haven't previously exchanged messages, do so now.
Click 'details' on the right of the top bar of the main window.
In the menu that pops up, there are three icons: screen sharing, video chat, and audio chat/phone call. Click the screen sharing icon and send a request.
Today, my mom signed into her Messages account and we successfully exchanged iMessage messages (not SMS).
When I clicked 'details' the screen sharing and phone call icons were grayed out (or, more accurately, 'blued out' - they were a fainter shade of blue).
I clicked another name in the Conversations list and then clicked back to my mom's name. When I clicked 'details' this time, the screen sharing icon was no longer grayed out, so I sent a request to share her screen. She didn't receive the request, so I canceled it.
When I clicked on 'Details' again, the screen sharing icon was grayed out again. As far as I know, nothing had changed on my mom's end.
What could cause the screen sharing icon to be grayed out? And what could cause it to toggle back and forth between grayed out and normal?
Both computers are running the latest version of Yosemite, 10.10.3. Mine is a 2009 Mac Pro 8-core with 16 GB RAM, hers is a MacBook Pro from around 2012 or 2013.
Thanks!

Hi,
(He did say that he'd heard that due to changes in Google's system that their accounts no longer work with Messages.)
What he has heard and what are true are two different things
Logged in Google account
There are issues with Messages using SSL to login to the Google Talk server and Google saying SSL is Less Secure (there is a setting to Enable Less Secure apps like Mail that also uses SSL and Messages).
Some people find that 2 step Verification cannot be set at Google's Account settings if your want to use the Less Secure Apps setting.
1. I deleted my AIM account from Messages and had my mom do the same. The result is that we each only have two items in the Accounts window of Messages: an iMessage account (signed in with our Apple IDs) and a Bonjour account.
2. Clicking on the Details menu, the screen sharing icon was available for both of us. It was not grayed out.
This is using two different Methods of Screen Sharing in Messages (It is silly it has two but there we go)
For AIM use the Buddy List and the icons at the bottom or highlight the Buddy and use the Buddies Menu
DO NOT USE the Details option.
For iMessages start text chat then use the Detail Option an NOT THE BUDDIES Menu.
For the iMessages Method you have to Enable System Preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing to allow the App to be Invoked.
(It is like FaceTime is invoked but only works to Macs)
As you mention the Connection Doctor only refers to the older "iChat Method for Aim and Jabber and Bonjour - if you can Video you should be able to Screen Share with that method.

Itunes Visualizer will only display fullscreen, other options grayed out

I am using the newest version of itunes on Vista SP1.
The visualizer worked perfectly at first, in the song list window size. I wanted to try it fullscreen so i went through the menu and chose show full screen, and it worked.
But i would prefer to have the visualizer in a non fullscreen mode. When i go to pick one of those modes through the menu, the options are grayed out, and if i use the ctrl+0,1,2, or 3 while the visualizer is going it just exits fullscreen mode and closes the visualizer all together, leaving me looking at my playlist.
Any ideas or key sequences?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing changes.
Thanks in advance!

??? related problem
Hi, i am experiencing a strange and unpleasant situation.
I am using CS3 and upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 last night, along downloading the latest Flash Player for browsers.
Problem is that now all of my text block arent displaying the same line height that before i updated?????
I compared the same exact SWF made under Tiger and those made under Snow Leopard and the two arent identical, lines are misaligned regarding line height!
What gives? Flash or OSX interpreting fonts differently?
Thanks!

Help! Sync option is grayed out on Itunes

I have a 1st generation ipod touch. Itunes recognizes the ipod because the Itunes screen displays the ipod icon and turns it off when I disconnect the ipod. I have removed and reinstalled itunes. I also allowed all programs incoming access through the firewall. The ipod is pliugged into a USB port on the PC itself. I also tried changing USB ports. Still grayed out. PC is running Windows 7 prof. I changed PC a few weeks ago. Not sure if this specific PC ever had the Sync menu item enabled. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks ...Jerry

- Is the computer authorized for the accounts used on the iPod?
- Was the iPod previous synced to another computer? If so and you want to make this computer your syncing computer see:
