Greyed-out Files in the Open File Dialog Box

I recently installed Logic Express 8 and then attempted to open a Garageband project. I used 'File Open' from the menu. When I click on my Garageband folder the dialog box shows all the .band files as greyed-out. This is also happening with older version of Logic Express such as the Tutorial song file.
Anyone with a idea or seen this before?

It seems to be a rather glaring bug in LE8 that will hopefully be fixed in the next update. In the meantime you can open LE8 files by going to File/Open Recent after launching. From there, other files can be opened by clicking on the Media button on the top right and then the Browser tab. Find your file & double click to open it. Also, you can just double-click a file on your desktop to launch Logic.
GarageBand files can be opened by right-clicking and selecting "open with LE8."

  • How do I clean out the "Open With" dialog box when I right click an image?f

    Hi,
    When I right-click and image to open it in a program I get a long list of programs to choose from. Many are duplicated or the same program but different version #s like Preview. How do I clean out the dupes and ones I don't want and keep the ones I do?
    How would I add CS3's Adobe Camera Raw to the list?

    Do a search for details on cleaning up the "open with" dialog, it's been discussed before but I'm sorry I can't remember what the fixes are.
    I have duplicate choices too but have never tried to clean them up.

  • Open/Save Dialoge Box covers the whole screen - CS3/Vista

    Hi,
    I´m using Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista and I have the following problem:
    I can´t reduce the open/save dialoge box in Photoshop CS3 as I could in earlier versions, which I find very inconvenient.
    It stretches over the whole screen and there seems to be no way of reducing it. There are handles at the corners but they don´t work.
    Is this normal in CS3 or could it be just a wrong setting in Windows?
    I hope somebody can help me on this, thank you so much!
    Best regards,
    Mike

    Is this normal in CS3 or could it be just a wrong setting in Windows?
    No, it's not normal. There are two things I can think of:
    - the dialog repositioning feature of your graphics card is not working properly (NVidia Desktop etc.)
    - you resized the dialog in another program and now the huge size has become the system default
    In both cases the solution should be pretty obvious - either adjust the settings/ turn off the graphics card's special features or resize the dialog back in the program it was turned huge in the fi8rst place. For the latter, also checking your more general folder view options as well as manually deleting desktop.ini files may offer a way out.

  • Why can't I sort in Open/Save dialog boxes?

    Ever since I upgraded to ML, I found that I am unable to sort the listing in open/save dialog boxes. Currently the folder contents (List view) are all sorted by reverse Name. There are times I rather sort by Modification Date or Creation Date.
    The regular finder windows work as expected (click to sort, two clicks to reverse sort), but it seems this functionality have been removed from the Open/Save dialog boxes. I've searched for any tips/hints, but have been unable to find anything. Help.

    v3ktor.com wrote:
    Could not find the sorting function in the open dialogs before coming here. Really bad interaction design from Apple. It took me ages to figure it out. And if you sort it on "name" how do you switch A-Z or Z-A?
    You are not sorting, you are Arranging (ie grouping). In the Open file dialogs, you don't have an option to Sort.
    If you want to sort the items, set Arrangement to None and use the List View. Click the headers to sort. If you want to add more headers, right-click on the headers to select them.
    In the regular Finder Windows, the options when you click on that button without any modifiers is the Arrangement options. Arrangement groups items by those criteria. By Name is like Sort, but without an option to switch direction.
    If you press that button (or use the menu command in Finder) while holding down the Option (alt) key, you will get the sort options.  If you have an arrangement set, then the Sort option will sort within the groups. Some Arrangements have no sort option (like by Name) because it doesn't make any sense. If you just want to Sort, then set Arrangement to None and use the Sort option to sort.

  • Open/Save Dialog Box Freeze

    Hello,
    Since updating to 10.4.7, the open/save dialog box freezes (beachball) after selecting a folder. Can anyone please point me in the right direction in solving my issue.
    I used the ComboPPC updater and then ran Cocktail to repair permissions, cron scripts, clear caches etc.
    I recently posted about the Finder freezing instead I should have mentioned that it was the Open/Save dialog box.

  • Sort-by-type for column view in open/save dialog boxes?

    Hello all,
    I've done a fairly good search both on Google and in these forums and can't seem to find this question addressed. When I go to open or save something (in Preview, for example) I prefer to use Column View in the dialog box, since it is easy to see and navigate the folder structure. However, Column View always shows up sorted by name, even if I specified in Finder that the folder be sorted by type. Because of this, I have to scroll down and hunt for subfolders rather than having them conveniently listed at the top.
    My question is this: is there a way to get Column View to sort by type in the open/save dialog boxes? (The Command+J that works in regular Finder does nothing in these dialog boxes.)
    Thanks!

    No. Column view will only sort by name. If you wanted to put a space before each folder name, then they will sort to the top. Sorting by Kind will put folders above files, but it will also put anything else except files at the top. If there are only folders, however, that would put them first in the sort list.

  • Can't drag sidebar items in "open/save" dialog boxes - Mountain Lion

    (First time poster)  Using Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and InDesign CS6.  Having errors. First was that smart folders made the Open/ Save dialog boxes crash when referenced in the "Favorites" section of sidebar.   Next, and more serious, error, is that I cannot drag/ rearrange my sidebar items in this view. AKA I cannot take "Favorites" on the sidebar and drag that section below "Devices" or "Shared" or "Media" like I normally can in Finder or any other app for that matter.  Recently installed SIMBL and "Colorful Sidebar" app but uninstalled and removed bundle file from SIMBL plugins folder in order to try and resolve this. Hard to say if this problem started before or after the third-party plugin was installed, but regardless, it's gone now, and still having problems.  Help please!  Thanks,

    None of these are InDesign questions.
    I'd suggest asking this is the Apple forums:

  • Mac Open / save dialog boxes in AI CC 2014

    After updating to os x 10.10.3, only the 'name' appears on the open/save dialog box in AI CC 2014. Other CC apps are not affected. Toggling the view button DOES NOT fix the problem.  Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Open/Save Dialog Box SLOW

    My Mac has slowed down to an absolute crawl. I have reinstalled the OS, run Disk Warrior, Disk Utility, removed my preferences folder to see if something in there was actin' up, I've repaired the permissions, etc... Yet in any application (whether it's Photoshop CS 2, Safari, TextEdit, doesn't matter), if I hit "open" from within that application... no exaggeration... it can take anywhere between 45 seconds to a little over a minute for the dialog box to finally appear!
    The last thing I want to do is nuke my machine. I am so tired of that being the solution whenever something can't be fixed.
    Has anyone run into this? Does anyone have any ideas what to do to fix this problem without nuking the machine?
    (this hasn't been a problem at all until, maybe 3 months ago or so... and I've been running Tiger since it was released)

    Holy cow. I am in complete shock.
    ...got up this morning, saw the suggestion 'bout the iDisk, figured I'd give it a try...
    That was it!!! I've had a .mac account for years, have had my iDisk on my desktop for as long as I can remember. I wonder if something from software update somehow made my machine and the iDisk go "screwy" 'cause it started getting excruciatingly bad just a few months ago.
    Thank you, thank you!! My machine has received a gigantic speed boost across the board, and the open/save dialog boxes now appear instantly when I call upon them, all my apps quit instantly now too. This is amazing! [breathes huge sigh of relief]

  • Snow Leopard sidebar width in open/save dialog boxes

    I think I found the answer to the infuriating non adjustable sidebar width in the open/save dialog box.
    It requires finding the plist of every program you want to change (I know... annoying)
    Close the application if open. Open the plist in Property List Editor (which is the default anyway so just double click) and delete any line which begins NSNavPanelExpanded...
    Reopen the application and the sidebar now mirrors the settings in Finder (where the sidebar stays adjusted if you alt+click drag it).
    I haven't restarted yet so don't know if it will stick but I don't see why it shouldn't, and I don't know if it will reflect further finder changes to the sidebar width.

    In the case of Photoshop it looks like NSNavBrowserPreferedColumnContentWidth also needs to be deleted, or a new value entered.
    So it might be different for different programs

  • When I hit the escape key to close out the open file dialog box, firefox hangs or crashes.

    When I open the "open file" dialog box using the ctrl+O and then hit the escape key to exit the box, I get an error message which I'm not able to paste here.
    it says something about a runtime problem and if I try the same thing again to reproduce the problem, it will sometimes just hang and windows vista will tell me the program is not responding.
    I've checked to see if there are any crash IDs but none were found for this time frame.
    I have even disabled all add ons.
    I'm currently using vista 64 bit edition and Firefox 6, beta edition.

    Hi,
    Please also try right-clicking on the link corresponding to the language version and '''Save Target As''' to save the Firefox installer. If the problem persists, posting [http://answers.microsoft.com/ here] would also be helpful.

  • Please fix: Common Open File Dialog Box to support Favorites (Follow-up: Better provisioning in the Windows client)

    One more thing:
    What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.
    Please obsolete or (re)develop components in Windows, so those components support any new workflows in Windows!
    On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
    Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
    Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
    Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.
    What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.

  • I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1.  An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6.  If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates.  If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

  • File open/download dialog box flashes on the screen, then disappears.

    I am upgrading to Firefox 17 (from 3.5.2) on Linux SuSE SLED 10. I am only moving to Firefox 17, as SLED 10 does not support anything higher than that and it is not feasible to upgrade my entire my OS.
    My issue is that when clicking on a file on a website, the file dialog box (open with/save) flashes on the screen for a split second then disappears. For items that I have handled by specific applications in mimeTypes.rdf, it does the specified action. However, any file type that I have designated in mimeTypes as "alwaysAsk", I get this issue. I do not have this issue in FF 3.5.2 and I have gone as far as using my 3.5.2 mimeTypes.rdf and prefs.js files on my 17 install and it does not help.
    I have looked through many forums and have not been able to determine how to fix this or whether it is fixable in 17.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
