HDR save/cancel is greyed out - bridge sooooo slow. PS6

Hi I am having more frustrations again with the HDRs engine. Now it opens and I can make some changes but it will grey out the open and cancel buttons if I move the cursor from the laptop monitor to the external monitor, forcing me to essencially force quit PS6 (something I have to do often enough in the last month or so. opening the HDR in the laptop window does not do this but hampers my workflow. I have an additional problem with bridge which hangs, lags, crashes and generally acts like it doesn't want to do anything I want it to. I have recently swithced to a VPN server and after that is when things started to get strange. I know bridge needs an open port now but so perhaps it's that. These things; the external monitor and the VPN are just as important as PS6 so.. How can I config things so they run smoothly? thanks. Perhaps if I replaced the external monitor for one with a faster refresh rate? Found a way to bypass dinamic link??? I would LOVE to find a way to do that!!! dynamic link is a real drag (literally).
I am on a macbook pro with 8GB RAM, 500 GB HD and a samsung synchmaster not mirrored.....I want to append that either monitor will cause the HDR dialog to grey out save/cancel. If I change from one app to another. THIS is what is causing it! HOW can I fix?? I will update as I see there is a new version. And report back to this thread.......It indicates that the app is up to date. No updates available. I had this problem with HDR pro early on with PS6. and the same problem is back, rendering the fooling thing useless - it freezes me out of any further actions causing me to have to force quit to get back into PS.... I had stopped using HDR pro when I upgraded to PC6 from 5.1 for this reason. Looks I will go back to good ole' reliable photomatix......Unless anyone have a fix????? Anyone?
Here is what I mean

Peter Spier,
Is it possible that the reason you are not getting this error is that you have "Don't show again" checked?
Thanks,

Sorry no. I see that message constantly. I don't believe in turning off warnings.
All comp[atibility does is save a flattened Photshop 2.0 version inside the file. ID will use that as the preview instead of making a new one if it's there, but it has no bearing on anything else, as far as I know, and makes the file much larger than necessary unless you actually plan on trying to open it in Photoshop 2 or some other application that can't read newer Photoshop files.

  • Why does my "save as" window grey out?

    Why does my FireFox 3.6.13 "save as" window grey out when I'm trying to save a file? (Actually it's light blue as opposed to the standard Windows Title Bar blue.) No matter what I try to click on within the box or the red X kill button, nothing is activated. I can move the window around but that's it.
    I can Ctrl-Tab my way around my open tabs but the save as window is still front and center. I can press the Alt key and scroll down to Exit but Firefox still shows up in Task Manager. In fact, if I try to restart FF after Exiting, I get a message saying something to the effect that FF is still running and must be closed out before it can be restarted.
    At first this was happening (started about 10 days ago) when saving a screenshot with a screen capture extension that I've been using for years so I uninstalled it. But now it's happening way too often, even when simply saving something as simple as an html file.
    I've reinstalled 3.6.13 but to no avail. There is no correlation between any recently installed extensions (I uninstalled them all). So I'm perplexed. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Have you tried the suggestions in this article? [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
    Also, although it's not a complete replacement, I usually print those kinds of pages to PDF.

  • Adobe Reader X - Save Button is greyed out

    Hi,
    the "Save" Button is greyed out with every PDF File.
    File -> Save is also grey
    File -> Save as... is functional.
    Where's the Problem?

    What I've been doing is using the keyboard command Ctrl+Shift+S, which brings up the Save As... dialog box.
    Like thinksink, I receive PDFs by email.  I scan documents using our printer/scanner/fax machine, and it sends the documents to my email account as PDF files.  By default, the documents are named "scan.pdf", and it is inconvenient to type in a different document title before sending.  So, when scan.pdf arrives in my inbox, I open the file to ensure that the document has scanned correctly, and if it has, I save it to the appropriate folder on my drive.
    In Reader 9, I could click the Save... button (which was NOT greyed out), and the Save As... dialog box would open.  I think the first time I did that, I was shown a warning that changes to the document could not be saved and if I wanted to save it, I would have to save it to a  file with a different name.  Since this is exactly what I intended to do, everything worked great.  And, I didn't have to see the warning every time because there was a "Don't show me this again" check box.
    Another related annoying change from Reader 9 is that Reader X doesn't remember what folder I saved the last document to.  In the Save As... dialog box, the saving process for each document always starts in the temporary folder that Outlook stores attachments in, and I have to work my way through the directory tree to save each file.  This occurs even when I leave the application running and just close the last document.

  • Tried to connect my messages from my phone to my macbook, but the accounts tab under preferences won't let me type in my Apple ID and I can't save, cancel, or exit out of the window

    I just got a new MacBook Pro today. My friend explained to me how to connect my messaged from my phone to my Mac, since they weren't connected yet. I opened Messages > Preferences > Accounts. My Apple ID and account info was already there and it was enabled, but the messages still weren't syncing, so I disabled it and tried to add the account again. I went to put in my account info, but I realized there was no space to put in my Apple ID, even though it said to. I typed in my first and last name, password and country, but when I clicked "save" nothing happened. The section that asked my ID, name and password disappeared, the "save" button keeps flashing, and I can't "cancel" or exit out of the window. If I press "cancel", an alert message appears but all it says is "(null)". How can I fix this so that I can exit out of it? It won't let me shut down because of this.

    It will only sync with new messages received after Mac's Messages is configured and running.
    It will not synced old messages.

  • How can I save an email as plain text when the save as is greyed out?

    How can I save an email message as a plain text document if the saved as command is greyed out? I am using OSX Mountain Lion. Macbook Pro thanks.

    OK, but is it happening to you with all messages or just some messages? If just some, can you characterize which ones? (Maybe messages with only one "alternative*" form, or with the "wrong" alternative for displayed, or messages containng images but no text?)
    * By "alternative" form, I mean in the sense of Mail > View > Message > Previous Alternative or Next Alternative or Plain Text Alternaive or Best Alternative.)
    Similarly, can you characterize the circumstances under which you cannot save an attachment?

  • Photoshop CC Save for Web Greyed out

    After the last Creative Cloud Photoshop update my Photoshop CC 64 bit save for web is greyed out and I can no longer save as a png. Using Windows 7
    How can I correct this.
    thanks,
    Buddy

    I have the same problem. Save for web grayed out no matter what. Also photoshop denies opening any png file, also the png format sometimes doesn't even appear in Save as.
    I can import png by choosing Open As and selecting Camera Raw. But then I can't save as png again. QC slacking at Adobe or what? Never experienced these kinds of difficulties with earlier versions. Might just as well brush off my old CS4 masters collection.
    Will try a reinstall although I frankly don't have the time to wait for the endless download.

  • Screen saver start time greyed out

    In Mavericks, The Screen saver start time menu is Greyed out at "20 minutes".  How do I activate this drop-down menu?.  Thanks

    There is no lock icon on the window. I went into another preferences setting (Users) and unlocked the lock there, then went back to screensaver/display, and the "20 minutes" button is still greyed out.  thanks.

  • Save for web greyed out, CS4, 10.5.8 (worked on 10.4)

    I have been on the phone with Adobe for over 2 hours...I have reinstalled several times, and even used the cleaning software that they suggested I download and use last night before I called.  He's currently checking to see if they can email me the "Save for Web" plug in.
    We have deleted the preferences for Photoshop.  We have updated.
    NO Save for Web folder to be found anywhere.
    Any advice would be most appreciated.

    NO Save for Web folder to be found...
    Can you find your Adobe Save for Web preference file? (user>Library>Preferences>Adobe Save For Web 11.0 Prefs)
    If so, toss that in the trash (or put a tilda ~ in front of its name) and try relaunching Photoshop.
    Also make sure the Photoshop application is installed in the right place: from Finder Go>Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS4 (folder)> Adobe Photoshop CS4 (application)
    And I assume the file your are trying to SFW is not a 32bit per channel file? Can't remember SFW limitations on CS4, but be sure by trying it on a 8bit per channel RGB image.

  • I'm trying to export an action I made in Photoshop CC (not CC 2014).  The "save" command is greyed out and there's no export command.  The action I made in CC isn't under the Adobe presets folder for CC.  What am I doing wrong?

    I'd like to use the action I created in CC in CC 2014.  I'm using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. Thanks.

    Thanks!  That worked.

  • Save and Save As options are greyed out

    I have an install of Adobe X Standard. An external source is sending in PDFs which are marked as Secured. However, according to the creator of these documents, only editing has been locked down, not Save or Save As functionality. When I open the document, all Edit functionality, as well as Save and Save As are greyed out.
    This is a new install of Adobe X. These documents could previously be saved using the same version of Adobe, but that machine needed to be re-installed due to OS instability. After re-installing Windows 7, then Adobe X, then updating to 10.1.13, these functions are now missing. I have no idea as to why. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Again, I've verified with the original creating that Save functionality shouldn't be disabled.

    There is no security setting that locks out save/save as.
    Save is greyed out when a file has not yet been changed, so that is normal. Save AS should not be greyed out at all. Don't know why that should happen.

  • "Save" as a template greyed out

    Hello - i am a very basic user - am trying to save a template of a Clock for future episodes of our show.

    Can anyone help?

    Kind regards

    great thank you - now that I have done that, i seem to only be able to save it within Motions themes, and can't seem to find the file in the finder... is there a way to make a templete file that I can have outside motion - sitting in a folder or on a disc if i wanted to give it to someone else to use - in the same way that you might make an invoice template in excel?
    Cheers

  • Adobe Reader 11 Save button greyed out

    Hi,
    I just installed Adobe Reader 11 and noticed that the Save button is greyed out when opening a file from a web browser.

    Same problem here after updating from version X to version XI. Of course, version X had the same problem. I'm using Windows XP.

  • Access 2013 Save Button Greyed Out

    On existing and brand new blank databases, basically on every database the Save button is greyed out in Access 2013. I removed update KB2752093 and was able to get my Save As button but I don't want to have to Save As every time I make changes to an existing
    database. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Hi,
    Did the Save button turn grey in the file tab? Did the issue occur in other Office suits? Did the other button turn grey in Access 2013?
    Please try the following methods to test.
    Use keyboard shortcut(Ctrl +S) to test.  
    Add a new Save command in Ribbon. (Click Options>Customize Ribbon>Select "Save"> Add to Home tab
    Start Access in safe mode. If it works fine, please try to disable the add-ins one by one the test.
    Repair Access 2013.

  • FCE menus greyed out after render.

    If I have a large render task and leave for an hour or so, when I return all of my toolbar dropdowns (save, etc) are greyed out and I can't do anything but force quit and start over. This has started occuring after upgrading to Tiger.
    Any advice?

    I had this problem some months ago, but don't have it anymore. What worked for me was: try to close the project (either by CTRL-W in the browser, or perhaps just clicking on the close button at the top left corner of the browser window). When the confirmation dialog comes up, cancel it. After cancelling, the menus should come back (your mileage may vary).
    Why I don't have this problem now, I'm not sure. I've been running Tiger & QT 7.0.1 for sometime now, and don't have the problem. If anything, Tiger might have fixed the problem.
