Patterns/pattern overlay grayed out! Help please

I deleted the default patterns because I was about to add all the patterns from Subtle Patterns, but now the entire patterns option is grayed out in the menus and I can't do anything! I'm a web designer, so I need this to work. Can someone please help?

Akay3,
Please remember we are not there to see so you have to be much more descriptive. Please complete your profile and indicate which version of OS X is installed, what iMac you own and exactly what CD and/or DVD you are referring to so we have some basic clues.

Black screen & all menu items grayed out -help!

Sorry folks, total AE nube here, in over my head already. Having just purchased AE CS3 I'm completely adrift.
I was in the process of looking at & changing preferences when shortly thereafter my screen went All black. A friend suggested it may have something to do with the output display, which may be the problem, however, I have gievn up searching after 4 days trying different searches in the program help function with no joy.
Apparently, I don't know "Adobe Speak" well enough to phrase the seach to get meaningful results. I did finally find that If I put the cursor at the very top of the screen & click I can then see the menu. Every dropdown list in the menu, is grayed out and no amount of pounding on the keys, gnashing of teeth, pulling hair, etc will allow me back in to the preferences where I suspect I misunderstood what the selection of "Cinema display" would do. Unfortunate that FCP 7 allows one to select that for a higher resolution view that I have in fact used before.
If that was indeed my error, since even the preferences are grayed out, how does one reset preferences to factory default?
OR
Is this a problem of a different nature? The monitor works just fine in all other programs, so I don't bevieve that is the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well,
I just don't know why I keep buying this Adobe crap. Apparently, they must outsource all the programming to China, because it sure isn't written in a way that I can understand as an American. Like most of the big software companies, they do not provide either a clear path to or a coherent explanation of how to use the arcane & obtuse programming that makes up their fare. Of course, you never really know what you are getting into, because they don't make it clear just how difficult it is to learn or use.
In their rush to make gobs of money, they seem to have forgotten that not everyone who purchases their crap has had enough prior experience to undestand the little known secrets of how to find out what to do when all goes wrong.
It is the same mistake that many programmers the world over make day in & day out, they can't concieve that those who have no familiarity with the way they see how to make their software work, find their software unfathomable. THE NEWS FLASH IS THAT NOT EVERY ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT HOW TO MAKE SOFTWARE WORK. The attitude seems to be: "Anyone who doesn't know the secrets of the brotherhood shouldn't be using it!"
As one who once went through the rigors of obtaining a CS degree (and actually considered starting a software company), it became obvious (20 years ago) that the future was not how many tricks you could make the pony do, but rather how intuitive you could make the software to allow the intended user to operate it without having to know it's arcane secrets AND to make it fault tolerant and self healing as much as possible. The telephone is a reasonable analogy, very few people know how it works, but they sure can use it until the cows come home with very few operator errors. In short, the technology is virtually transparent to the user.
I realize that company cultures rarely change unless an outsider is brought in to clean house and start afresh and that the likelyhood of that happening at Adobe is about the same as winning the Powerball lotto Jackpot 3 times in your life. I guess that makes me a modern day Don Quixote, but so be it. I also know that EVERY organization that does not change it's approach to the marketplace will eventually be replaced by some upstart who figures out a way to do it better.
So, ladies & germs, I did what anyone who uses a telephone would do when you aren't making any progress, I hung up the phone (un-installed the program) and stopped trying to figure out the technology that keeps my screen black AND does not allow me to undo the prefs quickly, and with a new dialtone, I redialed the number (re-installed). A clever little monkey am I.
If it happens again (or something similar) I'll bring my disk and man's best friend to the park for a stress bustin game of frisbee!
Adobe, it really is the 21st century, and you have failed miserably at meeting the future of making software more transparent to the user !
Ken
P.S. - For the record, I've been in an altered state (call frustration) for 20 years worth of Adobe products, and the light at the end of their tunnel, IMO is an oncoming train.

FastBuild RAID setup wont allow me to create array (grayed-out) HELP!

880GM-E41
amd x4 970
2x WD Raptor 74GB
When I go into the FastBuild RAID menu, everything is grayed out. My drives show up, but they cant be select. These drives were formated. I tried to format again, but the Win 7 setup wont allow me to do it again (grayed-out).
in the "view drive assignments" menu, my two drives say "<single disk>" under "assignment". In the manual it acts like it should say, "free".
in the "define LD" menu the drives show up as well, but everything is grayed-out. Under "assignment" it says, "N" and I cant change it to "Y".
These drives used to be set up as a RAID on my old system and Im really stumped as what to do to make it work.
Thanks,
Cow

PSU - APEVIA|ATX-AQ700W-BK 700W RT
MEM - 2x2G|OCZ OCZ DDR31600
Win 7 x64
The two disks are the WD740GD-00FLC0 and the WD740GD-00FLA1. (both SATA I) I had them in RAID before with my 6 year old Mobo and win XP.
The RAID utility doesn't register it as an array in FastBuild under option 2 or 3. It shows up before the splash screen on startup when RAID does it diagnostic check showing my two drives saying they're healthy. The problem is it just wont let me select them in FastBuild (it shows them, but grayed out)
Clearing CMOS didn't help. I may try to download and flash the BIOS??
This is all very frustrating as my old system had this up and running... but thanks for the help and any future help!
Update: I went ahead and installed windows on one the the drives so I can use the PC, but Im still wanting to put them in RAID, Id hate to reformat and everything to find out it still doesnt work...

Please help i am going nuts...how the hell do i disable firefox i need to install latest adobe flkash player. i have spent 3 hours trying to work this out help please

please will someone just contact me. i need to disable firefox. i am literally crying.

Thanks for your reply, and yes, I have the output selected in the channel strip.
I acutally did get it working last night right before I called it quits, but still am having one odd issue.
I set my channel strips up to send to the coreect outputs (backing track to mains, backing track with click to monitor mix), but the click kept jumping back to the main mix. I would set the output to monitors, but when the tracks would play the click track would suddenly play through the mains, and the drop-down output selector would read "Main"?????
I thought it was something at the Concert level, so I changed it there as well, but still no luck.
Haven't ruled out that some of this has something to do with my Mbox Pro settings, but I see nothing there that would be causing issues.
Ever heard of a output changing like that? This happened repeatedly, I kept chaninging it to monitors, it came chaning itself back....crazy.
Thanks again for the help!

Hello AMfromWS
With OS X Lion, you do have what is called a Recovery HD and it will allow you to reinstall Mac OS X. You can also use Activity Monitor to check to see if iTunes is still open in the background and you can quit it.

Cannot connect photosmart7520 to the web services. times out. help please?

Trying to connect to Web Services but times out. Configuration page suggests no internet connectivity although network modem/router is connected to the internet. Printer prints ok wirelessly through the network.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Let's set a static IP address and external DNS for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.

Need help with GUI lay out HELP PLEASE

hi iam trying to design this GUI for an assignment i cant seem to post pictures so i uploaded the picture of how its suppose to look
http://ca.geocities.com/shamtu4life2000/layout.jpg
i believe i got the code down correct but the layout is messed up also my teacher specified that the open color area be set at 400x300 i believe i did that correct my problem is the layout i get is jumbled and i dont know if i got the open area panel set correctly
this is my code
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class colorFrame extends JFrame{
     public colorFrame(){
          //get the content pane of the frame
          //JPanel radio = JPanel();
          Container container = getContentPane();
          //set flowlayout
          container.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
          //create panel p1 set grid
          JPanel p1 = new JPanel();
          p1.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3)) ;
          //add check boxes
          p1.add(new JCheckBox("RED"));
          p1.add(new JCheckBox("GREEN"));
          p1.add(new JCheckBox("BLUE"));
          //Create panel p2 set grid
          JPanel p2 = new JPanel();
          p2.setLayout (new GridLayout(1,3));
          //Add radio buttons
          p2.add(new JRadioButton("Light"));
          p2.add(new JRadioButton("Normal"));
          p2.add(new JRadioButton("Dark"));
          //Create panel p3
          JPanel p3 = new JPanel();
          p3.setLayout (new GridLayout());
          //add button
          p3.add(new JButton("Show"));
          //Create panel p4
          JPanel p4 = new JPanel();
          p4.setLayout (new GridLayout());
          Dimension d = new Dimension(400,300);
          p4.setPreferredSize(d);
          //Add panels to frame
          container.add(p1, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          container.add(p2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          container.add(p3, BorderLayout.EAST);
          container.add(p4, BorderLayout.NORTH);
     //Main Method
     public static void main(String[] args){
          colorFrame frame = new colorFrame();
          frame.setTitle("Color Frame");
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setSize(500,400);
          frame.setVisible(true);
}if any one got anyideas please let me know below i posted the assignment as background information thanks
The GUI has a JPanel in the center region that displays different colors. All of the other components (3 JCheckboxes, 3 JRadioButtons, and one JButton) are on a JPanel in the south region of the JFrame. We haven�t yet learned how to make a GUI do anything in response to user generated events, such as mouse clicks. For this question, we just want to practice controlling the appearance of the GUI using layout managers.
In the constructor of your ColorFrame class, create three JCheckbox objects, three JRadioButtons, and one JButton. All you need to know about these classes is that each
one has a constructor that takes one String argument:
new JCheckbox(�Red�)
new JRadioButton(�Light�)
new JButton(�Show�)
We want to use JPanels and layout managers to control the appearance of the GUI. We want the three JCheckboxes to remain together, so we put them on a JPanel. Similarly for the three JRadioButtons � put them on another JPanel. We want the JButton to retain its preferred size � not to grow to fill an entire region of the GUI --so put it on another JPanel. These JPanels should use FlowLayout.
We want to put all of these JPanels in the south region of the JFrame, but if we just add them to the frame, one will go on top of the other and we�ll only see the last one that was added. Instead, use one or more additional JPanels with GridLayout to hold the first set of JPanels, then add the JPanels holding all the other components to the JFrame.
You also want to create another instance of JPanel to add to the center region of the JFrame. Unlike the other JPanels, this one won�t hold other components; it will display different colors. (You don�t have to implement this color display.) When you pack the JFrame, the other JPanels will become large enough to hold the other components they contain, but since this one holds no components, it would shrink to zero by default. To prevent this, you should set its preferred size to some non-zero value, say 400 x 300 pixels.
Your class should have a main method that calls the constructor tocreate an instance of this class, sets its size using pack, sets its default close operation, and makes it visible.

You have set the container layout to FlowLayout, but you then try to place panels using the BorderLayout constants, you should use BorderLayout on the container.

Iphone lock out help please

Help! my Aperture help menu is grayed out

I'm just getting my brand new Mac Pro set up, moving from a 2 1/2 year old Macbook. I have a long unsolved problem of having several libraries and their related vaults crashing, rendering inaccessible about 15,000 referenced images and their vaults. Typically what happens is that an Aperture library I've been using for a while quits almost instantly after opening, and the library's vault(s) can't be accessed at all. I've spent perhaps 30 1 To 1 training hours and many hours on the phone with appl care on this problem, and I'm very grateful for all their devoted effort, but we haven't had any luck understanding, much less solving, this problem.
The first time it happened, the library had 6 gigs of images in it from a weekend of shooting. I thought that having 6GBs free (of 55) might have something to do with it, but it kept happening to later libraries even after there were 25 GBs free. With each new library it seemed they would crash at a smaller size, even 1-2 GBs. So my strategy evolved into creating new libraries every few days so they wouldn't crash.
Has anyone had a similar problem and fixed it? Generally most of the folks helping me don't seem to think it's a computer problem, or a software problem, for that matter. Some think my camera (Nikon D70) might have been sending out an occasional corrupted image, but the crashes have continued with a Nikon D 300 I bought new a month ago, making that theory seem very untenable. I'm hoping that using the beastly Mac Pro will help with at least part of the problem. I needed it anyway because my shooting has become pretty high volume recently (3,000 12 MB images per week).
Any suggestions on a fix or a strategy for importing this mess into the Mac Pro? It sounds like the safest way to import is by project. I have about 20 libraries, about 5 of which are crashed, and about 100 projects. I'd really like to have the recommended 1-3 libraries, but it's pretty daunting to think of losing all my metadata and edits to a single crash.... Thanks for your interest.

My above Question should read: "_Several Libraries Quit upon Opening and their Vaults cannot be Accessed_".
(the grayed-out help menu problem was solved by re-launching Aperture.)

Grayed out songs on iTunes despite "Manage music and videos manually" being checked.

I had to restore my iPod, and when I synced it after the restore, the songs were gone on my iPod like it is supposed to be, but on iTunes they are still there but grayed out. I have already done the "manage music and videos manually" thing, I delete all of the grayed out songs and try to add the songs from my library back to my iPod, but they are still grayed out. Please help if you can, I would greatly appreciate it.

I don't use manually manage so I'm at a loss as to why anyone would.
However, if I was Syncing my iPod to iTunes, then the picture you have posted would be just like that while iTunes was busy putting my music back onto my iPod. That's what the little double-arrow icon means; it's a list of files that you have asked to be put on the iPod (in my case, by Syncing the ticked items in my Library and in yours - apparently, by manually dragging them from the library to the iPod).
As each file is successfully added to the iPod, the progress arrows icon disappears and the song (file) name is no longer greyed out.
