PSE 7: Preset Manager Grayed Out

Hi,
Any reason why the preset manager in PSE7 is grayed out? The attachment will show it better than me explaining it. It works fine in PSE 4.

Have you tried resetting your preferences yet? Installing the application again will not fix corrupt preferences so go ahead and do this if you haven't. Did the preset manager ever function? If it didn't, it's most likely a fouled installation. If I see anything on the subject, I'll post back...
Hi Terri,
I reset the preferences and still have the issue. Since there were other things happening with this install, I decided to uninstall and reinstall PSE7. Unfortunately that did not solve the issue. There are two ways to get to the Present manager, while in a tool, lets say Paint Buc_ket Tool, click on pattern, then the drop down, then ">>". This method does not have all the choices highlighted, explained in my first thread. The other method is go to menu, click on EDIT>PRESET MANAGER, this does work, but not sure if it is working 100% like it should.
Go to Preset Type > Brushes, then click on the more button. Do you see a list of brushes to load. I don't, and wonder if that is normal. I am comparing this with the Preset Type > Gradients, click on the more button, and there is a list of sets to choose from.

Option to create presets/preset folders grayed out?

Just got a new laptop so I've installed LR3 on it. I'm trying to install my presets in LR, but the options to create a new presets folder and import presets are grayed out. Not sure why it'd be doing that? Am I just missing something obvious? I'm in the develop module and I've reinstalled several times to make sure it wasn't a glitch, but it's not. Little help? Thanks!

Thanks! I just figured that out. Doesn't really make sense to me why you'd need an catalog open with "found" images to install presets...oh well...whatever. Thanks again.

PSE 10 - Photomerge Panorama Grayed Out

I am using PSE 10 on a Windows 7 platform. When I go into full edit mode and want to select Photomerge Panorama, it is grayed out. All other selections for Photomerge are available. Previously I had no problem on the same computer using Photomerge Panorama with PSE 8. I have tried to research the forums for answers but cannot find any nswers for PSE 10.
Thanks for any help.
Michael

Well I finallly got it fixed. Had to go to Adobe Tech Support. It took them nearly two hours to resolve the problem. It turned out the Presets folder which contains the Photomerge data was missing. They tried to remove PSE10 and then reinstall it from my disc. However we could not get the program uninstalled. It kept finding an error. The error had to do with the Presets folder missing. They ended uploading a new Presets file and copying it into the PhotoshopElements 10 Folder. Everything now works perfect. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Media Manager GRAYED OUT in Desktop Manager 4.6

I bought my first Blackberry, an 8320 Curve, a few weeks ago. It came with Desktop Mgr 4.3 which didn't include Media Manager. So when I bought and installed a 4 Gb expansion card in my Curve, I downloaded the 4.6 Desk Mgr update WITH Media Manager.
But when I click on Media Manager on the main screen, I get a page divided in half, with Blackberry Media Sync on the righ, usable, and Media Manager on the left, all grayed out including its start button.
I installed the Blackberry Media sync, thinking this would give me access to Media Manager, but it didn't. I've found a number of posts reporting this problem on the net, but no proper solution to it posted yet.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!!

I understand your frustration as I spent hours on this already. I installed and uninstalled at least 5 times. The solution is quite simple. Once I got this working I didn't try the sequence in a different order which likely doesn't make a difference however this is what I did.
1. Uninstall the device software
2. Uninstall the desktop software
3. Log into the administrator account (not an account with admininstrator rights)
4. Install the device software (ensuring you have the media manager version which can be found on the blackberry.com website)
5. Install the desktop software and suddenly the media manager starts loading
I certainly hope this helps. I'm certain the order of the installation is irrelevant and that the account being used to install the product is the issue.
Good luck!

Extension Manager Grayed Out

Does anybody know why Extension Manager (Manage Extensions

double clicking on it but I can not launch Extension Manager from
within DW.
Thanks

Media Manager Grayed out in Desktop manager 4.7

Hi,
I have downloaded Desktop manager 4.7 with media manager and tried using it still i am getting inactiveed media manager.
please help

Just to make sure, did you all download the Desktop Manager that came with media manager?
Try going through the installation again but this time instead of choose the "Typical" option choose the "Custom" one. When you get to the screen with the dropdown arrows in the middle make sure the Media Manager doesn't have an X next to it. Choose the option to run it from the computer.
Also if you're downloading the desktop software instead of double clicking on the EXE file, right click it and choose to "Extract To" to extract all the files to a folder. After this go into the folder the you extracted the files to and look for a folder called "SR_MM" and run the "Setup.exe" file - It will take approximately 15 minutes to install the media manager software.

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.

In the dialogue window of "Manage Search Engine List," the "Restore Defautls" button is grayed out!

Hi,
I use Firefox 6.0.1 on Windows 7.
I installed '''Free Desktop Clock 2.37''' from Drive Software, and then Firefox was hi-jacked, though I carefully chose the custom installaion.
Edit: Free Desktop Clock itself does not hi-jack Firefox. It's another program (name forgotten) bundled with Free Desktop Clock that did it, adding a toolbar, changing the homepage, changing the default search engine, etc. Actually, those forced alterations can be changed back easily, such as a resetting of the "keyword.url" pref. So, "hi-jack" may be a description that's too strong.
Anyway, I have managed to clean it up -- unsolicited toolbar, forced homepage, forced default search engine, etc.
But there is still one problem.
In the dialogue window of '''Manage Search Engine List''', which appears when you click the drop arrow on the left of the Search Bar and then click Manage Search Engines, the '''Restore Defaults''' button is disabled (grayed out).
How can that button be re-enabled?
Thanks.

Hi,
Is Free Desktop Clock still listed? If not this may be because the listed search engines are the defaults, so there may be nothing to restore. If you manually added other search engines, you may have to reinstall those separately.

I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
What type of file is it (file format)? What bit depth and what color space?

How do i get rid of grayed out EXPORT IN FILE on PSE 12? I am trying to export a panoramic photo file.

I am trying to export a panoramic photo file in PSE 12. but EXPORT under file is grayed out, how do i get rid of it being grayed out?

Hi,
This is a follow up to the dialog about "exporting" files back to LR5 after adjusting in PSE12.
In simple terms, as I am no expert at all, just a long time film photo pro always struggling with the digital technology, even though it is great to use, here is what I need to accomplish.
After transferring raw files from LR5 and creating a panoramic image file in PSE12, which shows on my editor next to the several files i created it from. Is it possible to send the newly created panorama file back to LR5 so I could use the print module there. If so, how, what steps need be taken.
Thank you for your help, I am in no rush, and am very appreciative of your imput.
Carl
My overall aim it to create the finest quality panoramic print for exhibition.

Desktop Manager - Reconcile Messages Grayed out....

Hi...I'm not able to configure my messages in the Synchronize tab because it is grayed out...any ideas what to do? We've uninstalled and reinstalled the software, upgraded to 4.3 and its still grayed out...why? how can i fix this? My previous blackberry had this function enabled. thanks

Hi XENA0966,
We apologize that you're having continued difficulty finding a resolution to your problem. If you're willing to provide us with some additional information, we are collectively committed to do our very best to determine the root cause of this issue for you.
I'd like to step backward and confirm the options that you chose when you installed the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Is it correct to state that you chose to install as a user of 'BlackBerry Internet Service'? Are you familiar with how you installed the BlackBerry Desktop Manager for your previous BlackBerry? Perhaps we can harvest some relevant information by investigating the installation of the software itself, as well as the options that were configured.
Can you also confirm that with the BlackBerry Desktop Manager opened to the default screen, you see 'Server Status: Online' in the bottom left-hand corner? Additionally, are you able to access other resources on your network when you are experiencing this problem? Do you know if you're working offline when this occurs? This question may be important because the option for reconciling messages (discounting certain configuration options chosen during the installation of BlackBerry Desktop Manager) requires connectivity to your mail system. If no such connectivity is available, the software disables the ability to configure that option.
It seems as though there is one problem here but that it may be exposing itself through multiple symptoms. If you're a BlackBerry Internet Service user, there are certain things that you should be able to do from the BlackBerry (such as enabling message reconciliation) and things that you will not be able to do. There are also things that you will be able to do in the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and things that you will not be able to do, depending on this. The software on the desktop and on the device are designed to behave in a manner that suits the user type and back-end mail system. If we can clear some of the symptoms, through confirming your installation behavior and the settings on your BlackBerry, I expect that we can isolate the true problem.
We look forward helping you.

What version of OBIEE are you using? Assuming you are using 11g, providing a solution to enable cache in RPD.
1) Go to enterprise Manager.
2) Navigate to Business Intelligence > Core Application
3) Click on capacity Management tab > Performance
4) Lock and edit > Make sure cache enabled option is checked. ( This will add an entry to your NQSConfig file.
Hope this answers your question.
