Greyed out Menu Choices

I'm using Sountrack 1.5.
The menu choices: Search, Favorites, Bin, Effects (under the Windows menu) are all greyed out.
I have on my hard drive all the support files. (in the Library folder, Audio, etc)
I have no idea why these are grey. I can't start my project. I tried the manual but have no idea what to search for. As far as I know everything is set correctly.
How can I get these choices to activate to be able to access the support files, etc.
Please help.

Do you have to make that selection for you to continue in the upload? Have you remember to complete all the fields besides the one asking about Public, Unlisted, and Private?
Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before" type matter.
What are the properties of your source media, what have you selected as the project preset, and what specific YouTube export setting are you designating for your upload? What is the file size and duration according to the YouTube export dialog?
Can you export that Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and then upload the file from the hard drive save location to YouTube at the YouTube web site?
We will be watching for your follow up to decide what next.
Are you having any other problems with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1?

Issues with Fast User Switching, language pref, greyed out menu options

I have only one user logged in to my Macbook. If i want to select the other user using Fast User Switching and clicking on the username in top right corner of screen, nothing happens. The other user at this time is still logged out.
Incidentally, when i click on the airport symbol, the wireless networks are often greyed out and i can't change networks unless in go into network prefs.
One more thing - i have english and spanish selected as languages in international preferences. I ca not switch back to english at all - by clicking on the flag in the menu bar or by going into sys prefs. When n battery power, power characteristics are also greyed out and unable to select a different profile.
any help welcome.
thanks

It sounds like everything in your menu bar is florfed.
Can you log in to the other user account from the login window instead of by fast user switching? If so, does that account have the same problems with the menu bar?

Greyed out Menu in Muse CC 2014

So I recently updated to the new Adobe Muse program, however, whenever I try to convert my previous website into the application. It seems all of the menus are greyed out. So basically I can't do anyhting toher than look at my website... I'm using the trial version of Adobe Muse CC 2014. Is this the new trial limitation? Or is my program bugged?
Any help would be appreciated as I can't wait to get my hands and try out the new program!

So it seems to be fixed! The first thing I did was uninstall Adobe Muse CC 2014 along with all the previous Muse installations. I then re-installed just Muse CC 2014, and made sure to have Creative Cloud running while I opened Muse. All of the options now show up. If I don't have Creative Cloud running while I open Muse, it goes back to being greyed out. Really strange....
However, now when I open Muse I get this error. But if I don't close that window or click "Okay", I can still use Muse.... weird.
Anyways, hope that helps anyone else having this problem! Works for now, hopefully Adobe can push out an update to fix this.

FF 5 no longer opens pdf in browser window & only fix on offer, Dafizilla ViewSourceWith, won't instal and greys out Menu bar.

''locking this thread - discussion is here - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/857882''
I thought I had the Foxit Reader Plug-In reinstalled since I installed FF5, but I've reinstalled it again anyway and reset it to open in Firefox under Tools Options. Once I was happy with the latest Foxit Reader I really didn't want to even try the dead-buried-and-decomposed Adobe Acrobat again. I've disabled that now as it wasn't opening pdfs in Firefox either when I had it selected under Tools Options.

These are the steps I performed on my own system many months ago. I could not view PDF files in Firefox with both Adobe Reader and Foxit installed.
#Close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#If you have not already done so, uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.5 using Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, click on the item, click Remove. You may need to restart your system.
#Open Foxit in your programs list Windows Start > Programs
#*on the Foxit menu, click Tools > Preferences
#*click File Associations and be sure "Display PDF in browser" is checked then click "Make Default PDF Viewer" then click OK
#*close Foxit Reader (File > Exit)
#Start Firefox
#*Open the Applications panel (Tools > Options > Applications '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Options > Options > Applications)
#*type '''pdf''' in the search box; you should see "Foxit Reader PDF document"
#*in Action column, click the down arrow at the far right end
#*choose "Use Foxit Reader plugin for Mozilla (in Firefox)'
#**if the full name does not display, place the cursor over the item to see the full name in a tooltip box
#Test on a pdf file from the internet
#*If there is no toolbar at the top of the PDF display in the tab (just a blue strip), tap the F8 key to get the Basic toolbar, or right-click the blue strip at the top to display/not display other toolbars by clicking on them (checked=display; un-checked=do not display)

OMW 1.2.0 Build Main - 29.98 "Capture export" option is greyed out.

Hi,
I have downloaded the latest version and trying to use the software to migrate MS Access DB to Oracle. I used the option "Migration|Microsoft Access Exporter|Run Microsoft Access 2000 Exporter" to create a xml file containing data in the desired folder. Now I want to "Capture Microsoft Access Exported XML" but the option in this menu is greyed out. The right click option on the Access DB connection is also showing greyed "Capture Microsoft Access". The greyed out menu is coming after I first successfully exported and captured the Access DB, but now it is always greyed. The OS is XP professional 2002 service pack 2.
Please help.
-Pranjal

Pranjal,
You do need a repository as Turloch says, but you can load your xml file from the Migration Menu as
Migration > Load Access XML This requires a repository to be created on an oracle connection with appropriate privileges.

I have always imported my cds (including books) into iTunes using one step called "join cd tracks" which is under the "Advanced" menu. Never a problem. But today I was importing a 10 disc book and on the 7th disc all of a sudden the choice to join cd tracks was greyed out. I have tried it with other discs. No luck. How can I get to this option again. I was not doing anything different so don't know what took away this choice. Can anyone help me?

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

MacMail- No viewer window and cannot Quit- menu choice greyed out- 10.5.8

The problem occurred after I connected MBP to iBook G4 running 10.4.11 via Firewire/Target Disk Mode.
In that process of transferring some files from iBook to MBP, I was also putting some iBook files into MBP trash and emptying.
When done with the TDM, I did drag the icon to trash on the MBP before I unhooked the FW cable.
Now when I try to open Mail on my MBP, icon bounces twice but no viewer window opens and all options in pulldown menus are greyed out. I can only force quit the program.
In the User/Library/Mail folder I can see all the correct mailboxes.
I do not have an archived User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file.
I have seen online where this problem occurred in OS 10.5 but I am running 10.5.8.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Barbara
Don't know if this is relevant... I am currently running Permission Repair in Disk Utility and it is taking forever... Countless number of files where "Permissions Differ" and it is still running through the process after several hours. All are in the Applications folder.

Use Console.app to see if Mail is posting any error messages when you try to start it.

Airport drop-down menu greyed out

On my MacBook, the drop-down menu that appears when the Airport menu bar icon is clicked has greyed out. Although the MacBook joins my primary network just fine, I cannot choose my secondary network (second base station), even though it is listed. All action choices like "join other network", etc. are also greyed out and cannot be chosen.
I've rebooted, cycled Airport on/off/on, checked settings in Sys Prefs -> Network, etc. I've checked the Airport Extreme Base configuration using Airport Admin utility. This is a new problem, no known changes to system or applications other than installing Apple software updates as issued with a 2 week delay in case there's an update problem.
My Mini shows the drop-down Airport menu normally, and I can choose/join both my primary and secondary networks. Same software status as the MacBook - no new apps, all Apple updates after 2 week delay.
Any ideas for how to get my MacBook to un-grey the Airport menu items? Thanks!

Closing this question out, the MacBook reverted to normal behavior sometime since I posted the problem and this post. No clue why.

Mail Merge in Pages 09 - Merge option Greyed out in menu

the Mail Merge choice in the edit menu is greyed out. I tried everything to resolve this issue (new document, etc). For some unknown reason, I cant mail merge in pages 09. Any suggestion will be very helpful.

Hi c,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
Although you are probably asking about Merge from a Numbers document, you question really has to do with Pages, and the Pages '09 forum is likely a more appropriate place for it.
Have you inserted any Merge Fields into the document? Until you enter the fields and specify a source, Merge will be grey.
Regards,
Barry

All "timeline" menu options are greyed out in my copy of

All "timeline" menu options appear greyed out in my version of Dreamweaver 8. I've tried deleting the cache file and the configuration folder, but without success. There was originaslly some reference to a Javascript error message reference timeline(), since when I've ensured my Java was updated. Any ideas please?

For some reason, the Link > Framemaker document option was also greyed out when I created the project. I had been having trouble with the .xpj file not being created by RH11 and reinstalled TCS5/RH11. Then I created the project and was able to find and open the .xpj file. Like I said, I found then that the Link > Framemaker document option was greyed out and could only import the FM book.
I recreated another project and see that the Link > Framemaker document option is greyed out. I can only use Link > Word document, which is of no use to me. Any suggestions would be welcome!

How?

I am having a lot of issues but the big one is that my menu, buttons and toolbar keep greying out

I am having multiple issues and they all seem related to the menu/settings:
• Every time I start Firefox, my bookmarks toolbar is invisible. The box to display Bookmarks Toolbar IS checked but I have to disable and then re-enable it on the toolbar menu in order to get them to display again.
• "Tabs on Top" keeps defaulting to off. I check the box every time I run the browser, but every time I close it, it's back off again when I restart.
• I keep getting tabs that cease to be interactive. They are stuck open and I cannot close, move, or pin them. In fact, if I try to click on the tab, it selects the tab immediately to the right of it. It's like Firefox does not realise these tabs exist.
All of these are frustrating but I could handle them if this also wasn't happening:
• Periodically, all my menus and buttons grey out and I am unable to use any of them. I can't click bookmarks, I can't use my back/forward buttons, I can't access anything on the menus. I can still use the URL bar and interact with the websites themselves. It seems particularly prone to doing this while I am adjusting settings or toolbars which unfortunately I have to do a lot because of the aforementioned issues. I have not yet been able to use the browser for longer than 15 minutes before it happens. I am having to restart it constantly.
Potentially Helpful Information:
I have reinstalled Firefox (once as an upgrade, once I uninstalled the original one first) several times at home in hopes this would help, but it has not.
I am using Windows 7. (at work I am still running 2k and Firefox 4 works great)
The only addons I am using are Morning Coffee, Personas, Adblock and Noscript. I use them also at work with Firefox 4 without issue. They are all updated for the latest version. Additionally, disabling them makes no difference in the presentation of these issues.

If you are having that many issues, and if you have tried all five of the Five Rs, then what I would do is take it to an Apple store to the genius bar and let them look at it. It surely sounds as if there might be something wrong with the iPod itself, and if there is, and they can't fix it, they will give you a new one on the spot (assuming they have them in stock).

Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
Thanks
Derek

Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.
