Greyed out edit commands

I have Soundtrack (not Pro). I have split and deleted many segments of an interview (voice) recording and would like to "join" some segments back together. I've highlighted both segments but cannot get the Join command to turn black so I can execute the command.
In addition, the Ripple Cut, Ripple Delete, Crossfade, and Adjust Volume Envelope also remain greyed out no matter what I do. I would appreciate feedback.

After editing a RAW photo in PE13 (my External Editor) originally sent from Apple's iPhoto, I can not reimport the edited photo back into my iPhoto library. The
"Import to Library" command is greyed out. This was not the case until the latest PE13 update (Camera Raw Version 8.7.1.311). What needs to be done
to reimport edited photos back into my iPhoto library? Ideas?

Photoshop CC tools not accessible & drop down menu commands greyed out for no apparent reason.

Hi... I've been having this issue with Photoshop CC recently where in the middle of editing an image file all of a sudden none of the tools work. When looking at the drop down menus most of the commands are greyed out, except for a few. When looking at the image box, the filename at the top is greyed out. I can't even choose to quit photoshop as this option is greyed out. I can do things like toggle through the "Change Screen Mode" (F Key), and when i select a tool it's icon appears on the screen, but I can't apply it. After about 5 minutes it seems to correct itself & I can go on working with the image.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Well, that could indicate a dialog box appearing somewhere in the background or off screen, not even necessarily from PS itself. Also of course check the option for the restore data and incremental saving. Perhaps you are just seeing that...

I have imported both ACC and MPEG files into my Itunes music library. On the ACC tunes I can edit information through Get Info command. On the MPEG tunes I cannot edit the information through Get Info command as all entries are greyed out. Any ideas?

Problem solved
Thanks I found the answer in other threads.

Why is "edit in Audition" greyed out in Premiere Pro and After Effects?

Since the CC 2014 launch, the option in in Premiere Pro and After Effects to "edit in Audition" is greyed out. Right-clicking a clip in Premiere Pro doesn't have an option for Audition. I cannot send my compositions, sequences or clips to Audition for audio editing. I contacted an Adobe Support personnel earlier this evening. They suggested to go into my Mac's System Preferences and enable a root user, log out of my account, log into the root user, shut down and boot up into safe mode. None of these scenarios worked. It is still greyed out, in both user accounts.
Is this a known issue? I even uninstalled and reinstalled Audition. Still nothing. All my Adobe apps are updated. My Mac is updated. Again, never had this issue before.
I'd appreciate any assistance!
Thank you!
Cheers,
Evan Lockhart

I may have an answer for you, but not sure if my resolution will work for Macs.
First, here's my system and initial info. I'm using a work computer, operating system is Windows 7. I just upgraded to Adobe CC 2014 about a week ago, and I also uninstalled the previous versions of all my Creative Cloud programs after installing the new versions (CC 2014 doesn't just update the previous version, it installs a new program and doesn't automatically uninstall the previous CC programs). Not sure if the uninstall is necessary, for this resolution to work.
Anyway, after I installed Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Audition CC 2014, the Edit Clip in Adobe Audition command was available from the Edit menu in the Menu bar, but was disabled in the right-click menu for the sequence (for the right-click menu, it was visible, but greyed out and disabled). When I tried to use the command from the Edit menu in the Menu bar, it gave me a dialog box to fill out and it created a new folder (titled "Adobe Audition Interchange"). So, the command, when selected from the "Edit menu" obviously uses a different process than the command from the right-click menu. Anyway, I didn't want a new folder created or to fill out a dialog box, I just wanted it to behave like it used to. Basically, when I right-click the sequence and select Edit Clip in Adobe Audition from the right-click menu, it just opens Audition and the audio waveform is visible.
I was able to resolve this and get the right-click command working by reading a couple of articles on this same issue from Adobe CC (not CC 2014) and using those to figure out how to fix this in Adobe CC 2014.
Here's what I did:
I had to locate my .sesx files in my system. They are NOT in the same location as they were for the previous version of CC (at least, they weren't for me). I had to use the Search command and look for .sesx extensions to locate them.
Found them under the path C:>Users>Public>Public Documents>Adobe>Audition>7.0>Session Templates. Note that (for me), there was a folder titled 6.0 on the same level as the 7.0 folder. I selected the 7.0 folder as that folder contained the most recent set of .sesx files. I checked the 6.0 folder and those were the .sesx files from the previous version, so I deleted that folder just as a clean-up step.
I right-clicked on one of the .sesx files in the Session Templates folder and then selected Open with from the right-click menu. The Open with dialog box displays and provides a list of programs.
I selected Adobe Audition CC 2014 from the list of programs (you may have to browse to find it) and then selected Always use the selected program to open this kind of file. I then clicked OK to submit the configuration command and close the Open with dialog box.
I restarted Premiere Pro CC 2014 and the Edit Clip In Adobe Audition command was now enabled on the right-click menu and was working properly.
I wept with joy..... OK, not really, but I'm always irritated at ridiculous regression errors and a lack of thorough testing of new software versions, so I am happy to resolve frustrating issues.
Don't know if this will help you, or if you already resolved your issue. Either way, good luck!

Server app v3.01 User Accounts password add/reset/editing functions greyed out

I recently upgraded a Lion server to Mavericks with 1500 users and 450 clients on Xserve early2009 2.26Ghz Quad core Xeon 24GB RAM 32 TB Raid.
        All the upgrade went ok through 10.7 to 10.8 to 10.9 apart from having to rekerberise the realm to get users to log in from various 10.7,10.8,10.9x10) clients . I do not use Profile Manager as yet as I have had lots of faults on test networks etc so I continue to use Workgroup Manager 10.9 and Server app v3.01 now that Server Admin Tools has been discontinued.
        I have noticed however that all my users in Accounts/Server App are not editable such as password resets adding and deleting users etc. If you choose Edit User all the information shows but is greyed out for editing etc.
I still use WorkGroup Manager for adding/editing users and changing passwords which still functions(thank goodness).
        Am I missing something in that I cant edit/add users because I upgraded from a previous directory and OS etc? Do I have to accept the server app wont edit/add users and stick with WGM? Or are there serious underlying faults with my open directory?
         There are also lots of quirks in the File Sharing pane with users hanging on after logging out from clients and duplicates of log ins when they log in again. Today I restarted my server to update the Server app to 3.01 and i got a message saying 361 users were logged in although no users were showing in the File Sharing pane for about 12 hours! Obviously there is some problem with the termination of the log out process in AFP that doesnt take place. Since reboot this morning the memory usage has dramatically decreased so I am waiting to see if the errors return when we get a busy network situation later today.
Anyone had tthese problems or fixed the issues?

Just to update my post I referred to the the brilliant Krypted site to see if anything would help my situation and found this post on resetting the Server.app. I havent had time to try this yet but I'd like others to comment if they try it first:
"Unresponsive Server After Mavericks Upgrade? Reset Server App
The Server 3 app is great. But when you go making changes to some things, you’re just going to cause problems, sometimes something as simple as just upgrading to the latest and greatest version of Server… I know, you’ve been told that host name changes and IP changes are all kinds of OK at this point; “look, Charles, there’s a button!” Well, go ahead, click it. Don’t mind me, you might just be alright. But then again, you might not… And upgrades that use a migration wizard… Um, when it works it’s a thing of beauty. But when it doesn’t, you might be restoring some stuff from backup. But just before you do that restore, let’s try one more thing. Let’s try and rebuild some certificates and configuration settings that shouldn’t impact actual service operation. Let’s try to reset the Server app and let a fresh install of the Server see if it can fix issues.
Now, I want to be clear, this is the last resort before restoration. I’ve had a lot of luck with services remaining functional and preserving settings when I do this, but don’t expect that. Basically, we’re going to do what we looked at doing back in ’09 with AppleSetupDone but one designed just for servers, so the file is in the same place (/var/db) and called .ServerSetupDone. To remove it, close Server app and run the following command:
sudo rm /var/db/.ServerSetupDone
Once removed, open the Server app again and then let the Server app run as though it’s new. Cruft, begone!"

"Edit Original" greyed out, why?

Hi,
I've placed some PSD files within an A3 project inside of Adobe Illustrator CS3 with some clipping masks applied. Some images need some PhotoShop treatment so I would like to invoke the "Edit Original" command in order to have the desired image open up in PhotoShop for editing (like smart objects) but "Edit Original" is "greyed out" Even when the clipping mask relationship is released the command / feature is still unavailable.
Is there a reason why the "Edit Original" command is unavailable?
Input appreciated.
Cheers :)

Ahh... I didn't see the "Link" check box.
Now everything works :)
Thank you very much sir!
Kind Regards

Why is Delete greyed out in the Edit menu? (track selected in regular playlist)

Hi. Starting today, Delete is permanently greyed out in the Edit menu in iTunes. This is with tracks selected in the Music library or in any playlist (not just Smart Playlists). I manage tracks daily, and this just started today. I upgraded to 10.4 about a week back so it was fine for a while. Immediately before the problem manifested itself, I selected "Always Show Artwork" from the View menu (which is available when you're in Album List mode), something I've never done before. But that might be totally unreleated.
Hitting the Delete key doesn't work either (actually that's my preferred method). However "Cut" and Cmd-X do work, as does the Delete command in the contextual menu. So I have a workaround.
Quitting and re-entering iTunes didn't help, nor did de-selecting "Always Show Artwork".

Hmm. I came to realise iTune Match had downgraded 38 of my tracks, which I'd ripped from my own CDs long ago, with 256kbps versions. I do have backup for the tracks, so I'd like to delete these 38 tracks (I've made a Smart playlist of them), deleting them from iCloud too; then with Match turned off, recover my originals (Add to Library) from an old Mac.
Can't do it! As Richard Tench said at the top, from 27 July 2011, Edit > Delete is permanently grayed out if you have opted for iT Match. And for me on iTunes 10.6.3 (Lion 10.7.4), that's not all: Edit > Cut and Cmd-x both just produce the Bonk sound. My Macbook keyboard has no Del key either.
But all the above are only true with Match active. Store > Turn Off iTunes Match will ungrey Edit > Delete (& fn-bksp etc I imagine). So I would then be able to delete the tracks locally. But of course, if you turn off iT Match you can delete all you like locally, but they will still exist in iCloud, and if I turn on iT Match again, the lower-grade 256kbps ones will come down from the clouds to replace my CD-ripped ones again! Won't they?
Is that right? Is there any way to exclude these 38 tracks (out of ~6500) from iTunes Match so I can keep my better quality CD-ripped ones? (Other than using Alt-Launch & creating a separate iTunes fileset for the 38 tracks - as you might have guessed, some of them fall right in the middle of albums.) Help!

ITunes 10.4 Command Controls Don't Work, File Menu Greyed Out

The "improvements" in 10.4 version of iTunes are, uh, not. Among many other challenges iTunes now randomly decides that its file functions and the attendant command + (key) don't work. You get the "error" noise and the commands are actually greyed out under the "File" dropdown. FAIL. This, in addition to the "upgrade" that makes it necessary to hit "option" to see the nested playlist icon make this one of the worst iTunes updates in a long, long time. Don't think us out of what we're doing, please. I know it's free, but it's also not free (my Apple bills are staggering).
Formerly reliable commands like Command + L (go to current song) or Command N (new playlist) and even Command I (track info) are now hit and miss. If anybody has a solution (other than "you don't really want those features") I'd love to hear it. Or an explanation for how/why an entire series of commands becomes unavailable for no apparent reason. In the meantime I'm investigating alternatives (and I'm a long-term iTunes stalwart). Lame.
In the above screenshot, prior to writing this email (and part of the inspiration for it was that) "go to current song" was also greyed out. Of course I was writing this email and not changing anything but a few seconds ago Control "L" didn't do anything & that item was greyed out. So what happened? What changed? What's wrong? Your guess will hopefully be better than mine...

While I'm at it, the new/improved iTunes also periodically and for no apparent reason will not allow me to edit smart playlists (or create new ones). I hit Command "I" on a smart playlist and I get the "be-donk" that says "no love." Also greyed out in File menu along with almost everything else (see above). The feature returns after the passage of time but no noticeable conditions have changed - unless I'm missing something really obvious which is why I'm crying out for help...

The copy function under the edit menu is gone (greyed out) and the short-cut, "command + c" doesn't word. I can only copy by using the copy button on the formatting toolbar, which is slow & annoying. All after I ungraded to Maverick. I've tried several different solutions. Any suggestions? I've tried several solutions, but nothing has worked so far...

Get command greyed out

I'm editing a site that was created for me. I can not upload any changes on any pages because the get command is greyed out (as are all the other commands on that window). If I save to server the page appears witih errors. I think it has to do with my path on the local drive, but I'm not sure (I'm a neophyte). Please help me. I'm going nuts trying to fix this.

Lightroom 5.4. Edit options are greyed out. I tried reset warnings already.

Hi,
I just added a bigger harddrive and reinstalled Lightroom 5.4.
Now, 2 of 3 edit options are greyed out.
No access to plug-ins or external editors for original files.(NEF's)
I tried reset warnings already.

Yes, Nikon transfer was used. From a D800, But that was a year ago.
It has been working fine.
Before I upgraded to 5.4 I had this problem.
When I upgraded to a larger harddrive and re-installed 5.4 the access was limited to only "Copy with Lightroom adjustments."
Last night it started working, I had full access!
But, today it won't work on the same image/plug-ins.
the NIK Collection for example.
This effecting ALL RAW files! D100, D90, D3100, D7000, D800.
My Laptop is doing it now, too!!!
I installed DNG Converter 8.4 with No Difference. NO RAW EDITS.
I can't send a NEF to DXO Optics Pro 9, or anything else!

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I just purchased a few songs from Itunes and could not edit the information in the Get Info section of the file. It's greyed out. Any ideas? Has ITunes changed and no longer allows editing.

Has ITunes changed its editing feature for songs, etc.? I just purchased a few songs and found that I could not edit them using the "Get Info" feature. The information is greyed out and does not allow editing. Among other things, I usually like to eliminate the word "THE" from group names for easier alphabetizing in my library. Thanks for any help.

Check permissions and ownership of the files. Maybe this helps....

I transferred all my Itunes music from an old PC to my new one with Windows 7. Now I cannot edit "artist" or anything else for the songs. It is all greyed out and I cannot enter information. Is there any way to correct this problem?

I transferred all of my music from an older PC to my new one with Windows 7. Now I cannot edit selected songs. The information is greyed out and I can't type over it (on all my music except NEW downloads). Can anyone help? I even have a few songs with NO artist tag and I can't write anything in them either.

It's a permissions problem. Try this: right click on your iTunes icon and choose "run as administrator" that might fix it.
