Photoshop CC tools not accessible & drop down menu commands greyed out for no apparent reason.

Hi... I've been having this issue with Photoshop CC recently where in the middle of editing an image file all of a sudden none of the tools work.  When looking at the drop down menus most of the commands are greyed out, except for a few.  When looking at the image box, the filename at the top is greyed out.  I can't even choose to quit photoshop as this option is greyed out. I can do things like toggle through the "Change Screen Mode" (F Key), and when i select a tool it's icon appears on the screen, but I can't apply it.  After about 5 minutes it seems to correct itself & I can go on working with the image.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Well, that could indicate a dialog box appearing somewhere in the background or off screen, not even necessarily from PS itself. Also of course check the option for the restore data and incremental saving. Perhaps you are just seeing that...

  • Event title in View drop down menu is greyed out

    I can no longer view the main library in the Event title format where the albums etc. are listed on the left hand side column - I use photo manager and I get this option in my other albums but not in the Main Library, which defaults to events view - this has happened as far as I am aware, randomly and was fine a day ago,

    I'm sorry I don't understand the question.
    I can no longer view the main library in the Event title format where the albums etc. are listed on the left hand side column
    What do you see in the iPhoto Window?
    I use photo manager
    DO you mean iPhoto Library Manager ? Is this question about iPhoto or iPhoto Library Manager ?
    and I get this option in my other album
    Do you mean other Libraries?

  • Choose signature drop-down menu is grayed out

    I know how to set up a signature for email; however, the "Choose Signature" drop-down menu is grayed out. I even put in several signatures thinking it needed more than one to choose from, but it is still grayed out. So I cannot choose a signature and thus my email does not have one.
    +Choose Signature+
    +Select a signature to appear in messages for the selected account. You can also choose to use all of the signatures in sequential or random order+
    So that option does not appear to be available.
    Any suggestions?

    Ah, I was just clicking on the + to add one, since I only have one email account.. As soon as I did as you mentioned, and THEN clicked on the + it added Signature 2, and that one works. I now have a signature in the email.
    Thank you VERY much!!!

  • Mountain Lion purchased from Mac store will not download. 'Downloading' simply stays greyed out for hours.  Nothing I do changes it.  I am running OS 10.6.8 on a 2010 Mac Mini.  What do I do now?

    If you are looking at the front page of the App Store and you are seeing the "downloading" message on the right under Quick Links.
    Try this... Go into the "Purchases" section in the top bar of the App Store find ML in the list you are presented with. Does it say Resume? If so click the button and it will change to Pause. You may have paused it previously and forgot.
    If not then do as Csound1 suggested and simply wait for it to finish

  • ACR 5.2 Targeted Adjustment Tool has no drop down menu

    Hello
    I've just started playing with Camera Raw 5.2 and I cannot get a drop down menu for the targeted adjustment tool. When I click on it the icon remains "depressed" and I enter the tone mode. In order to get to the other modes, I have to move to the appropriate tab.
    I guess I could use the key board short-cuts but I would like to know why I don't get a drop down menu.

    How amazingly simple - just a bit strange as drop-down menus usually appear on a single click - thank you very much

  • Iphone Safari not opening drop down menu on webpage

    My work has a webpage that all the employees can sign into with their staff number to see their rosters, allowances etc.  There is a series of tabs across the top of the webpage, one of which says "rosters".  When you click on that, a dropdown menu appears.  You can then click on the option for the rosters to be displayed and it opens a side tab with the current or previous roster link.  You can click on the applicable roster and it opens the roster in a PDF file viewed online (not downloaded to the phone).  This works fine on computers, and it used to work fine on iphones, until the software upgrade to 4.0.  The subsequent upgrade to 5.1 has not fixed anything.
    What happens now - the webpage opens, the tabs appear at the top and when I select the rosters tab, it creates the drop down menu, but when I click on the rosters option in that drop down menu, it does not show the side tab, infact it closes the menu instead.
    I have tried downloading different web viewing apps, but they all do the same thing.  Can anyone help?

    Thanks for your help.  Unfortunately JavaScript is enabled but it still doesn't open.  The site doesn't use flash either.  The curiuos thing it that is used to open before the software upgrades, so presumably it must have something to do with the changes made when IOS4 was implemented.
    Just to cover a few more bases - popups are not blocked (although before IOS4, even with the popup block on it still opened) and the debug console doesn't display any bugs when the menu is clicked on, the menu simply closes.

  • How can I locate the drop down menu to select thumbnails for viewing my photos?

    I am using Microsoft Windows Vista. I select Files> Get photos and Videos> From Files and Folders.  I select my photos and In my views I have a choice of different size icons, list, details and tiles.  The icons are a flower image. When I select an image to view it only appears as an extra large icon on the middle right side of the moniter.  I would like to view the thumbnail of the photo bfore I bring to my organizer.  The drop down menu doesn't have a choice for thumbnail.  

    Perhaps I need to supply more details.  I am using PSE9.  I haven't any problem importing the images into the Organizer as I just select the Icons and select "Get Media" or "Open" and they transfer over to the Organizer.  I would like to see the image as a thumbnail not an icon when when making the selection.  If I right click them, the Icon, and select open they will open in "Windows Live Photo Gallery".
    The icons are now listed on the left  side of the monitor about the right middle it states "Select A File To Preview".  When I select a file (icon) a large file (icon) appears in that area and it should be a thumbnail of the image. Somehow I can't locate the drop down menu taht permits me to make that selection.  I think it has something to do with my files being able to open in Windows Live Photo Gallery when right clicking and select Open.  Is the drop down menu only available in Windows 7?

  • The edt option in the orange drop down menu is grayed out, how do I fix this?

    It's the first time that I've went into the drop down menu since installing the latest FF and the edit option it grayed out, and not letting me access it.

    That is normal. Does the menu open if you hover the arrow at the right of the Edit entry in the App menu?
    Does the Paste link get highlighted if there is content on the clipboard and a text area is selected?
    The entries in the Edit menu only work if they apply and there is something to do like text is selected and Copy will work.

  • Drop-down Menu to Open URL for File Download

    I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5 and was wondering if it is possible to create a drop-down menu that can be used to open different URLs for file downloads, kind of like the Attachments button Presenter has. Captivate seems to have a dropdown widget available but I can't tell if this would work for this purpose.

    Hi Theo
    You can use any composition to create a menu with setting for show target on rollover and then link targets to specific pages.

  • Drop down menu commands

    I have a drop down menu that is a movie clip that works fine,
    but i need to be able to set the buttons within the drop down menu
    to goto the main scene to a certain frame. I've tried to do this
    but cant get it to work. the buttons work if i set them to goto a
    frame within the movie clip of the drop down menu, but that would
    mean bringing everything from the main scene into that movie clip
    and also the drop down menu itself disappears.
    Is there anyway to tell a button within a drop down menu to
    goto different scenes and certain frames?
    Any help would be appreciated
    cheers

  • I am unable to merge events running iPhoto '11 - 9.4.2 (710.42) and Mountain Lion, 10.8.2. All options on the events down menu are greyed out and I am therefore unable to merge any events. Is there a solution?

    I am unable to merge events as all drop downs in the events selection in the tool bar are greyed out. Is there a solution?

    Thank you.
    I tried to drag one event into another event but was unable to do so. The event that I tried to move into a second one would only move to another position in the event columnn, but it would not merge into another one.

  • Photoshop Elements12 - crashing when using Adjustment Layers. When opening the drop down menu there are 'boxes' for Black

    Does anyone else have problems using the Channel Mixer?
    This problem only started after the opening screen started to 'advertise' the advantages of moving to Cloud

    Which operating system are you using?
    Can you post a screenshot of what your seeing with the menus?
    All adjustment layers cause pse 12 to crash or only certain ones?
    The channel mixer adjustment layer isn't included with pse 12, so did you download an action for the channel mixer adjustment layer?
    I never use the welcome screen since it seems to cause so many problems with the elements versions that have it, but rather make a shortcut to the editor and/or organizer and use those instead.

  • Browser didn't re-open last session and the drop down option is greyed out!

    I had a lot of tabs open on Firefox, I wanted to open it up and restore from last session so I could make a bookmark folder for them all and then do an update on my computer. However when I opened Firefox I didn't get the option to restore my previous session. I've read a lot of threads but I really really don't understand what to do, I am using a Mac and most seem to refer to Windows computers. I'm running 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro and 33.1.1 on Firefox. I have (with great difficulty and tears) managed to find the files called recovery.js etc. in my finder but have no idea what I'm now supposed to do now! When I open the file it appears in safari as code. I was about to rename the recovery.bak file as recovery.js as advised to by someone else's thread but my computer gave me a warning message telling me that what I was doing was risky so I got scared. I'm hoping one of you can help me! Also another thread suggested I back up however I seem to have to close the browser in order to do that and I'm worried that if I do that then my 'previous session' will become this one and not the one with all my precious tabs...

    I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.
