I use iphoto 8.1.2 on OSX 10.5.8. some of my events are greyed out, showing no images.
As outlined briefly above quite a few of my events in iphoto have appeared 'greyed out' when ive restored them from the trash. I was trying to back up my iphoto library, with no proper knowledge, and I think this may have caused the problem. I dragged and dropped my original iphoto library into a non time machine external hard drive. I then went back to the original and sent the majority of photos to the iphoto trash (about 12 thousand photos). When I tried to delete them from the iphoto trash it wouldnt allow me to do it - something ive read is quite normal for that amount of photos.
After this i read more about multiple iphoto libraries so decided to restore all these 'deleted' photos back to iphoto so i could sort things properly (im ultimately wanting to have one large iphoto library on my non time machine external hard drive, then have a smaller, more current, iphoto library on my internal hard drive).
When i did this about half of my events were greyed out, and so were the images in the events. although the information assigned to the individual event, such as number of photos and event name were still correct and clearly showing. Why has this happened?
My only thought is that when I tried to delete the photos from my iphoto trash initially this could have messed it up some how. The majority of events that have been affected are my older events, but even some brand new ones are greyed out too.
I would realy apreciate any advis on this, the photos ive lost are very importat to me so im fretting alot.
Thankyou in advance
JAB
I did try that yes, and it had resorted to the same version that was on my internal hard drive. Im not sure if ive done something wrong at some point in the past while trying to sort it all out - the situation suggests I have?
Essentially the two iphoto libraries I have are the same (one version now just has my attempt at restoring the files from iphoto trash, the other version has the photos still in iphoto trash).
Im at a loss knowing where these files have gone/ why i cant access them if the info for those files is still showing?
Thanks for your continued help!

I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.
My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
Thanks for your input! -

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
DerekAre 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. -
iOS 8.2 on iPhone 5c, goto settings, cellular, use cellular data for: all my apps under "use cellular data for" are greyed out. I've restart and hard reset. Looked thru all settings. Can someone help??
Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again? -
I have just transferred my iTunes library from a hard drive previously connected to a windows laptop to a MacBook Pro and now all my options for editing info are greyed out. I have seen the answers if still using windows but could find a similar situation to this one.

if my external hard drive is not connected to either of my machines, and I download something onto my iMac and then something different onto my Macbook, where are my machines going to be storing the new downloaded media
when the drive is not connected, +iTunes media folder location+ will default back to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)
and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

I used a usb turntable to import old vinyl records into iTunes. Then with the cloud and iTunes match I put them on another Mac. The songs come up in the music list but they are greyed out. How do I get them recognized. The symbol states the songs were downloaded from iCloud. I would like to get them to play so that I can make a playlist, and burn a CD.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
Imac has been very slow and hanging and crashing. After a software re-install at apple shop, my pics in iphoto are greyed out in event mode. any advice?
With that amount of information, no.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue. -
Email does not appear when using the mail icon on the home screen. I get No message selected showing on the rh side of my screen with the left hand third of the screen blank. Buttons on the top line are greyed out except the new mail one. The word thread appears in black on the top left hand side of the screen The only way out is to close the screen. all other apps work okay.
Hello calverone,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start troubleshooting this issue where the Mail application is not appearing correctly on your iPad, I'd like you to please force the Mail app to quit, and then restart your iPad.
iOS: Force an app to close
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Have a great weekend,

Hi, i am using iphone4s.. 2 days ago i had a problem with wifi.. button greyed out, it was suggested to keep phone in freezer, worked temporarily and i updeted to ios7.1 but still facing same problem.. wht to do? cant afford to throw off :/ huhh..
well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!! -
Problems Using iPhoto 11 9.4.2 OSX 10.8.2
1. Why do photos emailed from iPhoto turn up in my 'inbox' instead of in my 'sent' box in mail?
2. If you misstype your password/username when sending images from iPhoto, it will not allow you to try again.
3. If you select a photo in iPhoto and click on Edit, nothing happens - no tools. If you go to iPhoto in top bar and to Edit, again there is nothing you can use to edit with.
4. Will Apple fix iPhoto so that you can save images directly to iPhoto from emails?
We will start with the above 4 problems.1. Why do photos emailed from iPhoto turn up in my 'inbox' instead of in my 'sent' box in mail?
because you are not using mail as your e-mail client - you are using iPhoto - if yo want mail (thich I personally recommend) set it as the email client in the iPhoto preferences
2. If you misstype your password/username when sending images from iPhoto, it will not allow you to try again.
when using iPhoto as the email client iPhoto preferences ==> accounts
3. If you select a photo in iPhoto and click on Edit, nothing happens - no tools. If you go to iPhoto in top bar and to Edit, again there is nothing you can use to edit with.
if you open an event, double click a photo to enlaege it and click on edit in the menu bar at the bottom exactly what happens?
4. Will Apple fix iPhoto so that you can save images directly to iPhoto from emails?
no one here has any idea what Apple will do and under the TOU for this forum fobid speculation on Apple policies

First off it would be good to learn how to use iPhoto - editing is one of the most basic operations - what version of iPhoto do you have? Have you watched the videos and looked in Help?
In general you select the photo can click edit - to straighten you use the "Straighten tool" - to remove areas around the photo you use the "crop tool"

My iPhoto download is stuck. To the right, there is a greyed-out "Pause" button, and to the left of that, the word "Waiting".
I tried putting the iPhoto download into the Trash (from the Applications folder) but it won't stay in the trash - just keeps popping back into the folder.
Have looked all over online and tried lots of things but no luck. I don't even know where to ask.
Thanks
(P.S. This all happened after a disaster: My hard drive crashed while downloading Yosemite - hard drive was only six months old. Replaced hard drive and now in process of restoring things.)Go to the LaunchPad and cancel the download - trash the iPjhtoo application and reinstall from the App store
