Why is entire file menu greyed out?

Why is entire file menu greyed out?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== not sure

Thanks for the VERY helpful links, the-edmeister!
The FILE Menu was '''''not''''' greyed out in SAFE MODE.
I only had one THEME, the DEFAULT one, which I was using.
I disabled a few ADD-ONS and that solved the problem. They should check them first. I don't have time right now, or I'd do it myself. Later, maybe.
Thanks very much for your help. The only thing better than the FF browser is the community. I've been using only Mozilla since Netscape days.

ITunes 10.4 Command Controls Don't Work, File Menu Greyed Out

The "improvements" in 10.4 version of iTunes are, uh, not. Among many other challenges iTunes now randomly decides that its file functions and the attendant command + (key) don't work. You get the "error" noise and the commands are actually greyed out under the "File" dropdown. FAIL. This, in addition to the "upgrade" that makes it necessary to hit "option" to see the nested playlist icon make this one of the worst iTunes updates in a long, long time. Don't think us out of what we're doing, please. I know it's free, but it's also not free (my Apple bills are staggering).
Formerly reliable commands like Command + L (go to current song) or Command N (new playlist) and even Command I (track info) are now hit and miss. If anybody has a solution (other than "you don't really want those features") I'd love to hear it. Or an explanation for how/why an entire series of commands becomes unavailable for no apparent reason. In the meantime I'm investigating alternatives (and I'm a long-term iTunes stalwart). Lame.
In the above screenshot, prior to writing this email (and part of the inspiration for it was that) "go to current song" was also greyed out. Of course I was writing this email and not changing anything but a few seconds ago Control "L" didn't do anything & that item was greyed out. So what happened? What changed? What's wrong? Your guess will hopefully be better than mine...

While I'm at it, the new/improved iTunes also periodically and for no apparent reason will not allow me to edit smart playlists (or create new ones). I hit Command "I" on a smart playlist and I get the "be-donk" that says "no love." Also greyed out in File menu along with almost everything else (see above). The feature returns after the passage of time but no noticeable conditions have changed - unless I'm missing something really obvious which is why I'm crying out for help...

Version 6.0.2 installed, Find no "import" on File menu (grey) even I press ALT key.

I installed Firefox 6.0.2 version. No "import" on File(grey).I press ALT key, still get no Import. I want to import favorites from Internet Explorer on the same computer.Please email me ([''email address removed'']) how I can import the favorites.

Another method to import IE Favorites into Firefox Bookmarks:
#Export IE Favorites
#*give the export file a unique name and put it in a location where you can easily find it (i.e., C:\favs-to-Firefox.html)

When I try to import mov files into iMovie'08 (7.1.4) the files are greyed out. Any suggestions?

When I try to import mov files into iMovie '08 (7.1.4) the files are greyed out. Any suggestions?

Hi Appleman - thanks for your guidance.
OK RealTime Inspector: Dimensions of my clips - as I don't know which bit this is I will list everything under Inspector, including Format:
00117
00117
33.30
Format:MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720 millions
AAC, 2channels, 44100Hz
FPS29.97
Data Size2.57GB
Data Rate 10.20 Mbits/s
Current size 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
And re the types of tracks you mention that iMovie '08 can't import, I don't much about film clips so haven't yet made sense of this, tho I do see that the clips are organised into chapters, so presumably this is 'chapter tracks'?
Thanks - I'll await your further instructions :-)

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ian

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

.indd files all greyed out, cannot open from within Indesign CS5

Dear all,
On a iMac g5 i7 with Indesign CS5 (7.0.4).
Since yesterday all .indd files are greyed out when trying to open them from Indesign (command-o).
From Finder they open fine still...
Can't find anything on the web.
Clues?
Thanks,
Dirkjan

Indeed, you clearly need to find the source of the problem.
In my limited experience, this kind of thing happens when some program misbehaves and causes the LS Database to get corrupt. This usually happens as a one-time event, so rebuilding is an easy solution.
In your case, obviously the problem is chronic, so you will need to get to the bottom of it.
There is no reason to assume that InDesign is at fault. I'm afraid I don't have any tips for you. Contact an Apple support path, I guess.

Signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.

Framemaker 11 and Robohelp 10 licensed versions usedlinking the Frame files is greyed out

Framemaker 11 and Robohelp 10 licensed versions used. Options for linking the Frame files is greyed out. Also, updae book and file options are geryed out. Please assist.

Linking between Fm and Rh is only an option with the full TCS suite, not if you purchase the components separately.
It might be worth speaking to Adobe to see if you can get a deal on upgrading to the suite as you have already purchased two components.

ECL Viewer - Save to local file option grey out

Hello Experts,
We have ECL viewer installed version 5.1.3 with SAP GUI 710 - 7100.2.7.1038.
But, option under viewer --> save to local file is grey out, how to enble this option.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi all,
in case the ECL Viewer is used in the ArchiveLink or GOS area the 'Save to local file' is not available.
Basically it is possible to save the displayed document via the
ECL Viewer menu in a local file. In DMS the users can go via the
ECL Viewer menu 'Viewer -> Save to Local File' and create a local
copy on this PC.
This functionality, however, is not possible if the file is stored
using the ArchiveLink. This is a restriction from the ArchiveLink
application.
If you are willing to do a modification just change the following
coding within the constructor of class CL_DV_VIEWER_CONTROL_ECL.
call method ecl_viewer->create_toolbar
 EXPORTING
* CLOSE_BUTTON =
 TOOLS = 'X'
 VIEWER = 'X'
 NAVIGATION = 'X'
 OPTIONS = 'X'
 VIEWER_OPENFILE = ' '
* VIEWER_SAVEFILE = ' ' "< delete
 VIEWER_SAVEFILE = 'X' "< insert
 TOOL_MEASUREMENT = ' '
 REMOVE_DOCUMENT = ' '
 VIEWER_CLOSEFILE = ' '
 TOOL_COMPARE = 'X'
 TOOL_STAMP = ' '
If you are not willing to do a modification, it is even possible
to make a copy of the whole class, change the coding within the
copy, and make use of the copy by adding the according entries
in table SDV_VCL_MIME_C (see SAP note 726158).
For further question on this scenario I would kindly ask you to contact
your local consulting organisation because in the standard this
'Save as local file' is not available for ArchiveLink files.
Best regards,
Christoph
