"Place" greyed out

When I want to "place" an image from Bridge to Photoshop, the menu command is greyed out. I can do it from the Mini Bridge, but that is not always the most convenient way. How can I get the functionality of the menu command back? Thanks.

When I want to "place" an image from Bridge to Photoshop, the menu command is greyed out.
Do you have Photoshop in the menu Tools (at the bottom) and can you see the commands in there?
Check if you have the start up script selected or if it is there at all. (Bridge Preferences Start Up script).
If deselected select it again, otherwise restart Bridge holding down option key (control for windows) while restarting Bridge and choose reset preferences.

"Place in" function in Bridge greyed out, after uninstalling previous version of CC.

I recently updated to the CC 2014 version of the apps. After that I removed the previous versions of Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator.
Now the 'Place In" function in Bridge is greyed out. I tried restoring File associations, re-installing Bridge etc... but nothing worked. It's still unavailable.
Is there any way I can link Bridge with the 2014 apps again so I can use the 'place in' function again?

There are 2 startup scripts in Bridge: "Adobe Bridge CC" script & "Auto Collection Scripts CC 2014". When I click 'reveal all my startup scripts' I get an empty folder.
I also tried resetting my preferences but that didn't help. The 'Place in...' function is still greyed out.
I also had to manually set all the file associations with my apps because bridge always tried to open the previous versions from Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC etc...
(in fact...If I reset the file associations, bridge defaults back to the previous versions for all apps... and then I have to change it again to the CC 2014 version)
It's as if Bridge doesn't know I have the CC 2014 version and can't communicate with it.

When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, and the safe search button is inoperable. Suggestions?

When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, the remainder of the results page is blank, and the safe search button is inoperable. When I turn off private browsing and refresh the page, everything works again.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have got the same behaviour after the last Safari Update to 5.1.3. It seems that Safari now handles some scripts in a new way. If you debug the Google Website, you will see, that there is some Javascript Error, that seems to prevent to write into local cache. After some searching I wasn't able to finde a solution for this problem, other then disabling Javascript while private browsing to prevent the script loading. You then are able to use Google with the old layout. The option to disable JavaScript can be found in the Menu "Developer", wich has to be enabled in Safari in the options first.
In my opinion this is a bug that is now occuring, because Apple changed something in private browsing and that has to be fixed by Google now, to run again. Or we will have to wait for 5.1.4, as you can read online Apple will change and bugfix the javascript engine in that version, perhaps this fixes the problem as well. I hope so!
If anyone is in the developer program perhaps you could test this with the beta of 5.1.4 and tell us if it works.

Text wrap options are greyed out

Hi,
I am trying to create a "drop cap" by selecting a text box and changing the wrap options in the inspector however, the "object placement" options to wrap the text are greyed out and I can not change them, except for the options below, such as "object causes to wrap" check box and the "text fit" boxes.
Is this a glitch? I have restarted both my program and whole computer, as well as tried it in a new document, and it still is coming up greyed out.
HELP, I have a project due and I need to be able to add in drop caps!
Thanks

IMac Message not allowing preference or account changes. These options are "greyed" out.

How can I get Message to allow changes to preferences and/or accounts? These are both greyed out and can't be accessed. My Message icon show that I have messages, but the messages do not show when icon is selected. Everything I have read says to go to preferences, but I menu doesn't allow it.

Hi,
You will notice that in System Preferences > iCloud there is also no listing of iTunes, App Store, Game Center or FaceTime that may also be using the same ID.
iCloud is a service and mostly shows the items that can be Synced to other Macs using the same ID or the iOS devices doing the same.
So PhotoStream is on the Net (in the cloud) so to speak and not on you iPhone but you can show the pics (or at least the last 1000) to people on your iPhone.
Similarly you Contacts only have to changed in one place and will change on all devices
iMessages uses an Apple ID. It does seem it also has to be an iCloud one (at least since Mavericks and Messages 8.0)
As Yahoo ID are email accounts it will also appear in System Preferences > Internet Accounts and give you the option to have it active in Messages
Whilst it might be your Apple ID and you might use it for the iMessages account you can also use it for an Yahoo Account in Messages and use the Yahoo Instant Messages service.
(I have loads)
It should work like this:-
Enter the (Apple) ID you want to use in the iMessages account along with the password you might use for that email ID at Apple (presuming the Apple use the the Yahoo use have different passwords to the ID).
The iMessages Receive section (Messages > Preferences > Accounts) should show just that Apple ID at present.
Then you Enable the Messages app on the iPhone.
Once the Number has verified you can add other Send And Receive IDs. The first tend to be the Apple ID you used on the Mac.
If you restart the Mac version you should get a pop up telling you what IDs (Apple ID and iPhone number) the iPhone is using.
You Have to Accept this Pop up to have the Mac add the iPhone Number to it's Receive At list (And to the Start Conversation From drop down).
If this was not accepted remove the Apple ID from the iPhone (it is worth double checking the iPhone can still send to the Apple ID)
Place th iPhone in Airplane mode for a few minute to Break with Server.
The "restart" the iPhone and the App.
If the iPhone number is verified then Add the Apple ID
Restart the Mac version (It makes the pop ups appear just a little quicker)
Accept the pop ups.

Playing recorded loops (they stay greyed out)

When recording on a loop , it creates multiple recordings, and places it on a new track. I love this functionality! However only the last loop recorded lets me play it / hear it. How do I enable the other tracks so that i can hear them (ungrey them out / enable them). Much thanks in advance for any help!
ps - I searched for this but couldnt fund any relevant results

Greyed out loops in Garageband 11?

I installed GB11 from the Mountain Lion's Appstore and not from an iLife DVD. It required an update for the loops and most of them downloaded but there are still some greyed out buttons.
Here's a pic: http://imgur.com/5OgugCL
All the support pages and discussions gave me zero help thus far. I even tried downloading an update right from Apple's Garageband support pages for version 6.0.5, but that's apparently only for those who have installed via DVD. Solutions anyone? Please and thanks!

Contrary to the above response, it is NOT normal, and the grayed out loops are not supposed to be grayed out. It is not because you don't own Jam Packs and have them installed; the missing loops are not Jam Pack content.
The missing loops do belong in GarageBand '11, and have to be downloaded from Apple and installed into GB. The problem is, GB is broken in this respect, and it will not download the loops, and the App Store will also not update the loops. GarageBand will say it is downloading them in Software Update, but it will not do so.
I called AppleCare about this, and it took a couple tries, but we got it solved. It's complicated to do so.
It is, the support person said, the one thing broken in GB '11. Anyway, here's the procedure that worked to get them to install. (Hope I'm not giving up any state secrets here; they didn't swear me to secrecy and others do have the problem.)
First thing to do is go to GarageBand and make it go through its fakeout cycle telling you it's updating the loops. Click on any gray loop's download arrow, and tell it to download it now. It'll open App Store, and that won't download anything, and it'll all fail. Quit App Store and GarageBand.
Next, you need an administrator login user. I created one, called "apple" -- do this in the Users & Groups panel in System Preferences. (You do need admin privileges to do this; you may already have them in your own login, and thus not need to create an administrator login.) Gave it an easy password. Then, with Fast User Switching, I logged in as the administrator "apple."
It'll take a few minutes for your machine to set up this new user, so be patient until it's all logged in. (The mouse will be slow. You can change that in System Preferences Mouse panel if you want to.)
Now, open a Terminal window. Fastest way to do this: Spotlight (Cmd-Space), type in "terminal" and hit Return key once Terminal is highlighted in the Spotlight list.
Let Terminal get all set up, with a cursor available.
You'll see something very like:
Last login: Sat Jun 29 18:55:22 on console
ComputerName:~ apple$
At the cursor prompt, type:
sudo softwareupdate --list
Hit Return. Now you'll see:
WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.
To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.
Password:
Type in the password you created, and hit Return. Now you should see:

Select and then copy (cmd-C) the GBExtraContent-1.0
Now, type at the ComputerName:~ apple$ prompt:
sudo softwareupdate --install GBExtraContent-1.0
Now, you'll see the update take place. It'll look like this:

Downloading GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops

   2.5 MB of 1.2 GB — About 10 minutes
   4.1 MB of 1.2 GB — About 8 minutes
   6.1 MB of 1.2 GB — About 7 minutes
[This will continue until it's all downloaded.]
What you're seeing in that counting of GB and minutes is the countdown of the download and the install time. Let it run until it completes.
Give it a couple minutes to complete installing, and then start GarageBand in the admin login. It will take some time for GB to start up, because it's the first startup for this user. Several minutes.
Once it has completed (it takes a while, as I said), go to the Loop Browser. They should all be there, no gray.
Quit GB and go to your normal User and start GB there. The loops should all be present. If not, quit it and restart it. Now they should all be there.
At least, this worked for me this way.

CUPC 8.6 Contact Call Greyed Out Issue

Hi All
I'm having an issue with contacts in CUPC, I have CUCM 8.6.2a SU2 and CUP 8.6.4 in HA mode configured as Active/ Standby and I am using the CUPC client 8.6.1, the issue I have is that when I add a contact to the client, it works fine for Presence and I can call the click on the client and the call option is available, however as soon as I log out of CUPC and log back in again, the Call option is greyed out, if I remove the contact and then re add the contact then Call is available again.
All IM and Presence is working fine, its just the Call option that is an issue.
Anyone come across this before or can advise?
Regards
Nick

Hi
OK - so it should all fall into place when you get the AD connected.
One note - if you have contacts in your list, that are people in the AD, you'll probably need to delete them and then re-add once it's running to get proper information/status etc... so don't get too carried away preconfiguring users etc.!

How do I enable my camera when the option is greyed out in iChat?

This may be a dumb question, especially as I only 'converted' to Macs 3 days ago... but when I start iChat the option to enable my camera is greyed out (it wasn't this morning when I checked) - what have I pressed to disable it and how do I re-enable it?
I have a MacBook Pro with a built-in camera (bought 3 days ago strangely....)
Thanks for any advice you can offer

Two Places to Check
In iChat in the Video menu (May say Audio) to the right of the Buddies one there is Camera Enabled. It should show a tick next to it.
Next in the View Menu the Show Video Status item also needs a tick.
If those two items are ticked then go to the Apple icon top left > About this Mac > More Info button to open the System Profiler.
Use the reveal Triangles and go to Hardware > USB and see if the camera is listed.

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do?

I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout in Disk Utility is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do? I was trying to install Windows 8.1 but apparently, this is not yet possible.
I was originally able to restore to my original Mac OSX partition using Boot Camp Assistant but then after entering Disk Utility and re-RAIDing the default RAID 1 to RAID 0 in the BootCamp partition (I suspect this is the cause of the problem but why was it defaulted to RAID 1 in the first place?!!!!), forever afterwards, I couldn't restore the single OSX partition.
Whenever I used BootCamp Assistant my choice to 'Install or remove Windows 7 or later version' was greyed out. Finally I went to Disk Utility to repartition but the Macintosh HD and BootCamp disk partition functions were also greyed out (even if I started up from Recovery mode holding down option, command and 'R' and choosing Disk Utility). BootCamp Assistant gives the error message 'The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition' with additional small script 'The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows', and DU gives the error message 'The full size of the Fusion drive is not available for repartitioning'.
What can I do to fix this problem? How can I make the Partition Layout button active in DU so I can change the partition to all OSX? I'm prepared to wipe off all my data etc to repartition and have backed up all to disk using Time Machine.

My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

After installing Mavericks I can no longer save a new word document or pdf by typing the name of the destination folder in the Finder window. The save button greys out. Solutions anyone?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Delivery Address is greyed out in PRs generated through Sales Orders

Hi Experts,
I have an issue in PR Delivery Address. When I am generating a PR automatically from the sales order with custom Schedule Line Category and Custom Item Category, the PR is generated with a particular Doct Type and AAC, as per the settings in VOV6. But when I go to ME52N, the delivery address is greyed out and I am not able to change the same. When I am converting the PR to PO, there I am able to change the delivery address. But my requirement is to change it at PR level itself.
Is there any setting to make the Delivery Address as Edit mode?
Thanks in advance.
Hari Raj

Hi,
Since the 4.6 releases, there is a design change about the address
processing for third-party orders in reference to SD-orders.
System is working correctly, it is designed this way.
The reason for this behaviour is to prevent any possible inconsistency
between MM and SD applicable applications. Changing the address must
take place in the sales order.
The way to change the delivery address in a PR linked to a Sales Order
is to change the Ship-To address in the sales order.

Why is the column browser greyed out when viewing iPod music?

Hello,
I can not display the "column browser" for my iPod Touch, like I can for my iTunes Music Library (iTunes for Windows)
To confirm we're on the same page: the column browser is the specific display/view with "Artists" and "Albums" filters (and optionally 'Genres" , "Composers" and a few other not-so-useful options) in Columns at the top of the screen: selecting different combinations allows you to easily filter the "results" panel below, which displays all the individual songs that match those filters.
I have seen other questions on how to display the column browser, which relate more to the iTunes Library Music, opposed to the iPod touch music. (FYI the fix for the Library is to click "songs" and then the option for column browsing is available in "View/Column Browser/Show Column Browser")
If i display the sidebar, and select 'Music' under my iPod Touch, it just displays ALL songs. The option for "show column browser" is greyed out and not selectable. If i hige the sidebar, and click "Music" in the top left column under the name of my iPod, i get the same view. If i click "Music" from the big centered bar at the top of iTunes (but below the standard File/Edit menubar) this just shows my Sync options...
So question is: How do I display the column browser for my iPod music?
If i can't, question is: Why did you hide this feature and can you please bring it back?
And a general comment: Please let the brilliant Jony Ive loose on the iTunes design ASAP: it desperately needs a designer's eye to make this interface more intuitive. There are about 5 incongruous button/menu themes utilised at different places, and none of them are particularly well thought out. I'm a student of the school of thought where you can (if needed) utilise a few different interface design styles on one application to suit different users and different scenarious: but they need a talented designer to harmonise. The current iTunes is like years of changes piled on top of each other with no clear direction. Not an enjoyable experience!

Hello,
All outputs from the SCXI module are measured in differential mode. You can still mix differential and single ended measurements (if you use the remaining channels of your daq board).
The easiest way to mix modes is with virtual channels. All SCXI analog input channels will be differential, while you can make other virtual channels differential or single ended. If you don't want to use virtual channels, you can use AI Hardware Config in LabVIEW to change the mode.
Hope this helps. Regards,

Music is greyed out on iPod touch, it reads as empty, but files are still there?

Hi all,
I have a 32g iPod Touch that has never had a problem thus far.
Yesterday, I connected it as usual and went to play a song from the iPod via iTunes. The song played perfectly fine. I had the iPod on shuffle, and after that song was over, it went through every song and "greyed them out" with the symbol. I then unconnected it and reconnected it. On the iPod itself, it states that I have "no content." Yet all of the music files are *still there* when I reconnect the iPod, but they're greyed out.
I have reconnected/unconnected it numerous times (all safely) to try and figure this out. Sometimes, when I connect the iPod, the bar on the bottom of the information page shows that I have 24-ish gigs of music--which is correct. But out of nowhere, the bar will go back to saying that I only have apps and photos, no audio. I've restarted iTunes, restarted my computer, restarted the actual iPod--nothing helps.
I can't sync the entire library back to iTunes because I manually manage my songs and most of the music is on an external hard drive. I'm aware that this means that the songs are greyed out in iTunes because the actual file isn't there. However, this has never been a problem on the actual iPod before.
I updated my iPod to 5.1 earlier this week with no problems. I haven't added any new music to the iPod itself. I literally did nothing different from usual. I do have songs from other sources than iTunes, which could mean a corrupt file, but I didn't add anything new in the past week.
I'm aware that a restore would fix this, and I'm okay with doing that...however, I'm more concerned as to WHY this happened in the first place. The loss of files came out of nowhere, with no improper syncs or improper disconnects, no new music, no new updates and nothing new being done. I just don't want to put all of the songs back on the iPod and have this happen again.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. :]

You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.
