IPhoto Calendar Print command ghosted out in file menu

I've created a calendar within iPhoto's calendar application but when I try to print to my local printer, the print command is ghosted out in the drop down file menu. All other print functions work fine.

The print option is disable in the evaluation version, it not your printer problem.  When you activate this version, the print option will be active.

  • Print commands are disabled in File menu (Multisim 10)

    I want to print my circuit, but all Print commands in the File menu are grayed out. I do have a printer installed on my system, which works on other applications. I'm running Multisim 10 (Student Evaluation) on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.
    Thanks,

  • Contact Sheet II, Picture Package, & other options are grayed out on File menu

    I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 yesterday, and Contact Sheet II, Picture Package, & other options are grayed out on the File menu.

    I believe you need to be in the Expert mode for those commands to be available.

  • Place command not appearing in file menu

    I click file and do not see the Place Command so I can insert picture. Where else could it be?

    Hold on a sec. Are you saying it appears in the File menu, but not in the context menu?
    That's normal -- I've been asking for years for Place to appear in context menus...
    Here's a script written a few years ago by Gerald Singelmann that will add the command to the context menu:
    //Add "Place" to the context menu by  Gerald Singelmann
    //Place this script into the "Startup Scripts" Folder inside the scripts folder in the app folder.
    #targetengine "session"
    ContextPlace();
    function ContextPlace(){
    var myResult = true;
    if(myResult == true){
    var myLayoutContextMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/RtMouseLayout");
    var myBeforeDisplayListener = myLayoutContextMenu.addEventListener("beforeDisplay", myBeforeDisplayHandler, false);
    function myBeforeDisplayHandler(myEvent){
    if(app.documents.length != 0){
    if(app.selection.length == 1){
    switch(app.selection[0].constructor.name){
    case "Rectangle":
    case "Oval":
    case "Polygon":
    case "GraphicLine":
    case "TextFrame":
    //Add the menu item if it does not already exist.
    if(myCheckForMenuItem(myLayoutContextMenu, "Place...") == false){
    myMakeMenuItem();
    break;
    default:
    if(myCheckForMenuItem(myLayoutContextMenu, "Place...") == true){
    myLayoutContextMenu.menuItems.item("Place...").remove();
    function myCheckForMenuItem(myMenu, myString){
    var myResult = false;
    try{
    var myMenuItem = myMenu.menuItems.item(myString);
    myMenuItem.name;
    myResult = true
    catch(myError){}
    //alert("Menu item found? " + myResult);
    return myResult;
    function myCheckForScriptMenuItem(myString){
    var myResult = false;
    try{
    var myScriptMenuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.item(myString);
    myScriptMenuAction.name;
    myResult = true
    catch(myError){}
    //alert("Script menu action found? " + myResult);
    return myResult;
    function myMakeMenuItem(){
    if(myCheckForScriptMenuItem("Place...") == false){
    //alert("Making a new script menu action!");
    var myMenuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Place...");
    var myEventListener = myMenuAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", myEventHandler, false);
    var myPlaceMenuItem = app.menus.item("$ID/RtMouseLayout").menuItems.add(app.scriptMenuActions.item("Place..."));
    function myEventHandler(myEvent){
    //alert("Got to myEventHandler!");
    if(app.selection.length == 1){
    switch(app.selection[0].constructor.name){
    case "TextFrame":
    case "GraphicLine":
    case "Rectangle":
    case "Oval":
    case "Polygon":
    var myFile = File.openDialog ("Place file...", undefined, false);
    app.selection[0].place(myFile);
    break;
    } else {
    alert("Please select only one frame.");
    Copy the code above and paste into a plain text editor like Notepad. Save as type "all files" and add the .jsx extension. It should be placed into the application \Scripts\Startup Sripts subfolder and it will run when ID starts up. The folder should exist in CS5, but if not you can add it.
    Here's one by Dirk (I think Becker) that does the same thing to add No Break:
    #target "InDesign"
    /* This script will copy the existing menu action into a new menu item.
    The "$ID/" strings ensure it will even work with localized versions of InDesign.
    For permanent execution, save the script as startup script e.g. in a folder "path to InDesign/Scripts/new folder/startup scripts".
    Dirk
    ( function () {
    var anb = app.menus.itemByName("$ID/CharPanelPopup").menuItems.itemByName("$ID/Apply no break");
    var atc = app.menus.itemByName("$ID/RtMouseText");
    try {
    atc.menuItems.itemByName(anb.name).remove();
    } catch( ex ) {};
    atc.menuItems.add(anb.associatedMenuAction,LocationOptions.BEFORE,atc.menuItems .itemByName("$ID/ClearAllOverrides"));
    Do the same for it.

  • For some reason, my compression option is grayed out under "File" menu, and when I select a folder with multiple files, or multiple documents, and try to right-click or tap the mousepad with two fingers, I do not get a "compress" option available. Help.

    I don't know why, but when I select a folder with multiple docs contained within it, or multiple files, the Compress option is grayed out under the File menu, nor is it available when I right-click. Please help.

    Yes it is, but I have the same problem of the option does not appear with "right click" (I'm actually control-clicking), and COMPRESS is grayed out under the file menu. I'd like to fix it.
    Hmm. After finding the Archive Utility,* I tried archiving the folder. It came out as .cpgz, ugh. Found there was a preference to make .zip the default. It worked!
    And now…the menus are not grayed out. ?!?! OK.'
    Hope this helps someone.
    *You cannot find this via search, apparently it is a hidden file, you have to click from the root drive through to /System/Library/CoreServices (Thanks for the file path Alberto!)

  • Image prep for iphoto calendars/prints/cards

    Hello folks,
    Is there a preferred edit procedure, size, resolution, sharpening, etc for images used in a calendar/card/book?
    thanks for your help
    Diana

    Diana:
    iPhoto uses frames and picture areas in a 4:3 size ratio for books, calendars, etc. So make sure the photos are in the 4:3 ratio. Most digital cameras produce images in that ratio but scanned images usually are in a different size. Use the largest pixel dimension that the camera offers because the more pixels available the sharper the picture when printed, at least up to 300 dpi maximum which is what iPhoto converts books and calendars to when converting the item to a pdf file for uploading and printing.
    Also when you scan a photo don't scan as black and white (if they photos are B/W) as the image produced won't be compatible with iPhoto. Just scan everything as color.
    The rest is what looks good to you.

  • Finder issue: Compress option missing from right-click menu and greyed out in File menu

    How can this be, and - more importantly - what can I do to resolve this issue? Thanks.

    You mean this ThisService?  Never heard of it before.
    Why don't you create services using Automator (in /Applications)?  That's one of the things it is designed to do.  It has no problem with making sure they are properly created and installed in ~/Library/Services so that the finder can see them there under the conditions desgnated when you create them.  You don't even have to log out and back in.
    Note, if you like using applescript you can use applescript in automator too.

  • I can't print my statements from banking websites - the option to print (drop down file menu) from the website is greyed out

    I do my banking online, and have previously been able to print my statements off the website. Since the last update, although the page shows in the browser as normal, the option to print from the drop-down file menu is greyed out and I cannot print anything, even if I try and select a portion. It is not a problem with the website as I can print without a problem in another browser program. This problem has now persisted for quite a while with no resolution over time. How do I get Firefox to allow print from a secure website (I assume that is the problem?) It occurs with more than one secure site (two different banks)

    I have the same problem... not being able to print website 'Print' pages. I have read carefully the above link and have followed the reset directions in about:config, but I still cannot print in Firefox. Both Google Chrome and IE work perfectly every time. I have verified that the correct printer is selected and that the margins are in order (0.5 all around happen to be what mine are set for). I have resorted to use the Firefox Add On "View this Page in IE" whenever I need to print something. Works like a charm, but come on... it should work in Firefox too! I know there is some setting or something, but the Problems_printing_web_pages link had nothing there that worked for me.

  • How to print specific pages out of a book file

    I've searched around but I cannot find any way of printing specific pages out of a book file. Has anyone got any ideas? I have a 100 page book file with 20 files, and doing print outs of sections is a nightmare. I want to be able to print page 5 out of file A and page 6 out of file B together so I can duplex them. I've tried scripting this but I can't seem to set the page range of the print preferences of the book file.

    [Jongware] wrote:
    I don't think it's possible to set the page range of a Book.printPreferences
    Theoretically it ought to be possible. Can't test for myself now; what does happen when you set the pageRange to overlapping sub-files?
    I've just tried it with CS3. It might have been implemented in later versions.
    In the print Book dialogue the page range field is disabled. You cannot enter anything there.
    If you try to do it with a script it says that printPreferences is read only.

  • 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...

  • Word 2001 is Missing  the "File" Menu

    I am missing the "FILE" menu from word. I Have the apple menu edit, view, insert, format etc... but "FILE" is missing.
    I rebuilt the desktop trashed word's preferences, zapped PRAM. Copied the App from a cloned hard drive but "FILE" will not come back no matter what I do.
    The app does respond to the keyboard commands found in the file menu but I don't have all of those memorized. And it seems to work fine otherwise.
    Any clues to help me trouble-shoot this would be appreciated.
    THANKS

    Jack,
    Go back into Preferences and trash the Word Preferences again. And empty the trash. In fact use Sherlock to make sure all Word Settings files are gone.
    I used to get this (and still do sometimes). I seemed to get it more with Excel and the Data menu. Can't say how long it would be gone for, but as soon as I needed to use it to sort data, I'd see it was gone.

  • IPhoto freezing on print command before print menu appears

    Has anyone encountered iPhoto freezing when selecting "print" from the file menu, before the actual print menu appears? I'm not using huge files here -- 600 KB photo, for example -- but I get the spinning beach ball of death every time I try to print a photo.
    I have 3000 photos in my library, use Panther, have a five-year-old ibook with a 10 g hard drive so I house my library on an external hard drive.
    Sound like a preferences file problem, for example? Any advice anyone can offer would help immensely.
    Thanks!

    That's a whole different animal. You didn't move or rename any of the files from the Finder did you?
    Do try cleaning out the cache files with OnyX. Also I'd run the 10.3.9 COMBO updater followed by a repair of permissions with Disk Utility. Reinstalling the latest combo updater can clear up a multitude of issues. Finally, is those don't work make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder and then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options except the last one regarding orphans. Do empty your iPhoto library before the rebuild.
    If the rebuild doesn't go as intended and is worse than the original library just trash it and go back to the backup copy. Sometimes it's necessary, most times not. Good luck.

  • Why can't I get my printer to print out a playlist from i-tunes? It used to work but now my printer doesn't seem to receive the "print" command.

    Why can't I get my printer to print out a playlist from i-tunes? It used to work, but now the printer doesn't seem to recognize the "print" command coming from i-tunes. The printer works for other applications!

    I  finally solved this problem after toiling with it for a couple of  days.  Solution:  Once you have  burned your CD you must go back into  iTunes to your music/playlists and select the playlist you just burned  and click file; print and you will  get the mosaics that we have been  accustomed to.  I was on hold with  Apple Support when I found this  myself.  Yes......!!! Problem solved..for me anyway.  Good luck!

  • Iphoto will not print and the print command freezes my computer. Help!

    I cannot print from iPhoto.  When I give the print command my cursor turns into a pinwheel and freezes my computer.

    Apparently there's some preference files other than iPhoto's that may be causing the problem. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    1 - close all applications.
    2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock.  You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
    4 - reboot. Be sure to know your account's username and password as you will be asked to log in with it.
    5 - run the application again and determine if the problem(s) is fixed.
    6 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    B - Open the Preferences  folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
    D - reboot.
    7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
    8 - reboot and you're back as square one.
    Note:  keep the Preference folder on the desktop until you're sure all registration info for your apps are working.  If not you can copy the required files from the desktop pref folder to the working one.
