Illustrator type grays out with mouse hover

I updated my CC version of Illustrator today and now when I go to edit type, the type block turns solid gray when the mouse hovers over type with selection tool, direct selection, and type tool. I can't seem to edit the type.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Is it a flaw in the upgrade (which, btw, the program now crashes when I open certain documents)? If a flaw, how do I fix it?
Or is this a new feature that appeared in the upgrade with no instructions on how to use it? If a new feature, can you point me to a tutorial on how to use it?
This problem seems to occur only with documents I've created in the last week. New documents and documents created several months ago don't get the solid gray problem and I can edit the type normally.
I use CC on a PC running Win 7. Here is a screen shot of how my document looks with the grayed-out type.
Also, it now crashes when I open certain documents. (I know that's a separate issue.)
Many thanks.

Hi Cabriolet,
1. Will it be possible for you to provide me a sample test file with the problematic text only? A trimmed version of this document would help me look into it. Just send it to us on [email protected]
2. Also, as you said you are encountering a crash on opening files then could you please send me the crash log or submit the crash log via Adobe crash reporter mentioning your email id in it so that I can take a look at it at my end.
Crash log will certainly help, otherwise we can do a connect session to know more about the issue.
Regards,
Dhirendra

HT4623 I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store. They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app. Any suggestions?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Thumbnails Grayed out with Question over them

I have several thumbnails that are grayed out with a white question mark over the thumbnail which indicates that it has "lost" the original photo. However, the photo is in the Finder/Pictures and the name has not been changed.
How do I get iPhoto to "find" the photo?
Must I re-import it to iPhoto?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Vernon

Are you sure it's a "?" instead of an "!" ? In any case try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
Fix #2
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
Fix #3
Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

More than 50 MB sized applications are grayed out with status of "Waiting/Installing", when we update those apps from WiFi Connection?

Hi,
Few application updates are available in iOS App store. However, Those applications are grayed out with status of "Waiting/Installing", when we update those apps from WiFi Connection. It's happening only for more than 50 MB sized applications. Unable to install those application through WiFi, However, it's successfully installed through MacBook Pro iTunes application. Please suggest me, why this happening suddenly.
Thanks in Advance,
Suresh Balakrishnan.

- If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows. However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software.
Re-check your deployment, specially the user experience:
If you've checked the box next to "Software installation", it will install after the deadline has passed and ignores maintenance windows. Change the deployment to required and uncheck that box and the software should be installed according to your
maintenance windows.

Did you select all of the music to sync by clicking on the playlists or albums or whatever you use in iTunes - in order for them to sync? Or did you click on Entire Music Library if you want all of your music on the iPad?

Workgroup Manager: Adv, User Password Type grayed out (was Shadow Password)

I've set Workgroup Manager, Advanced, User Password Type: Shadow Password, Options to inactive after 90 days, fail after 5 attempts, allow user to change password, at least 8 characters every 90 days. Today after user logged in to the console, the user locked herself out remotely via sftp, ssh, & xterm from a WinXP PC running ReflectionX.
I went to the console, used Fast User Switching to bring up my admin account (her account was still logged in), we reset the password with Workgroup Manager so the red X is no longer on her username.
However, the Advanced User Password Type: drop down list is blank and grayed out and she can't log in? How do I reset this? The user has a lot of files, I'm afraid to delete and recreate the user account. That seems pretty drastic for an invalid password attempt. I've rebooted and ran Apple Updates for good measure. Any ideas how to put Shadow Password back in that box?

To unlock the user's account, after backing everything up and noting the user's uid, home dir, groups, etc, we deleted the user in WorkGroup Manager and readded her putting the user id, home dir, etc back the way it was. Everything seems to work again. The home directory files were not deleted when the user account was deleted so everything just reattached.
Still have no idea how we managed to get things so confused in the first place? The Server UI is so much more complicated and inconsistent from the client OS for dealing with users. The Mac OS X Server for Dummies book I found did not have a troubleshooting section and was no help in resolving this. We ended up contacting the Mac User's Group.
I was blown away to get an email survey from Apple support asking me to rate my opinion of my help request. I didn't get any help! They told me my 3 years of AppleCare don't apply to the Server OS I installed separately after buying the mac. Mac OS X Server has 90 days of support that I never used but had expired. They offered to sell me a help ticket for $99.
This has not lived up to the user experience I was hoping to have. I regret the day we "upgraded" to the server. Is there a way to downgrade? Now that there is only 1 unlimited version, we're totally stuck. We have no mac client connected, just PCs via sftp, ssh, vnc, & X windows...

Server connections not consistent. Folders grayed out with warning icon

For some reason, my mail.app has started showing grayed out folders and accounts with warning icons. Even though I am able to receive/send, mail seems to think the connection is not working. When I click on the icon, it reads "The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server <"
I am using port 26 since my ISP blocks port 25, and I've been doing this with no problems for years...now all of a sudden it's become a problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I already used keychain first aid, and that didn't seem to change anything.
My ISP recently went through a server migration which has caused me a lot of problems, which is when this started happening, but they can't seem to solve the issue on their end.
btw, this is happening on multiple computers (both listed below), and I also access my accounts through iPhone.
Thanks in advance.

Illustrator CS3 grays out and locks when using Save or Save As

In the past few days everytime I try to save an existing or new file with Save or Save As i see the save dialog box flash and then the whole program locks and grays out. The only way to close is to do a control-alt-delete. This happens for new files and existing files. I tried renaming the preference file so it would create a new one and that didn't work. I have cleaned out the temp files and I have plently of memory and RAM so that is not the issue either. We can't seem to find our CDs to do another install so are there any other ideas someone can give? this is also happening with my Photoshop CS3 and my InDesign CS3. I think it may have something to do with a microsoft update... thats the only thing that has changed on my PC in the last week. Oh and i also did a virus scan, nothing. thanks

The video card is opening the Save dialog offscreen, outside the visible desktop area.
Select Alt+ Spacebar, choose move and then use the arrow keys to move the dialog box back on screen and resize it so it fits and opens in the correct position.

MobileMe grayed out with slideshow

I have created a couple of slideshows with music that I'd like to publish to my MobileMe account but under Share, the MobileMe button is grayed out.
I am using music that I've gotten off of CDs so it shouldn't be an iTunes DRM issue.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPHoto slideshows are not able to be included in MobileMe sharing since MMe only takes files and an iPhoto slideshow is a combination of photos and music that is created in realtime when you play it.
You can export the slideshow as a QT movie, import back into iPhoto and add that movie to a MMe gallery. That would put the movie online where visitors can play it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Volume slider in track info grays out with audio interface

I'm using a Presonus Inspire interface for mic and guitar. But in new tracks, the volume slider in track info grays out when I plug it in. Prefs recognizes the interface and I set audio in and out on Inspire. Signal comes through the headphones, but no signal in GB because the volume slider in track info is all the way to the left and grayed out.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Jim

HT1338 I have happily been using Airdrop and printing wirelessly to my Epson WF 7520 printer until this morning when I started my Quad Core 2.4 and got the wireless icon grayed out with a "wi-fi not installed" message. Restarts do nothing. Ideas?

Anyone else having issues with their wi-fi suddenly disappearing?
Is this really a hardware issue out of the blue or could this be a software bug?
