Safari toolbar and menus grayed-out

The Safari toolbar and pul down menu selections stop working from time to time and I have to log out and log back in to get them working again. How can I fix this without having to log out and log back in?

Hi!
Please follow these steps
The issue should get resolve after first 3 steps, last 2 steps are for extreme conditions.
1) on Mac: Safari - View - Un check "hide tool bars"
2) From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
3) From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
4) Force quit safari (Click on apple icon - force quit - select safari - click force quit - confirm).
5)  Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Repeat Step 1.

    when i log onto safari the screen is grayed out and i no touch features are functioning

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How do I disable/remove the toolbar and menus in Acrobat 9.x?

    The toolbar and menus are making the files crash in Solaris 11 when magnification is used or a menu item is selected.

    I have published my .cptx files to .pdf then the customer opens them with Adobe Reader. I'm hoping I can remove Reader's toolbar and menus from view when Adobe Reader is opened. People keep trying to use the Reader tools to zoom in and out of the training file, which forces the Reader to close.
    Silly customers.

  • Why are menus grayed-out in trial version? how can I use the effects then?

    why are menus grayed-out in trial version? how can I use the effects then?

    Every piece of software has a learning curve, and its own terminology.  After Effects is a complex professional tool, used by home enthusiasts right through to feature film makers. 
    There's plenty of very user friendly video editing software that will do the tasks you've mentioned easily.  Might I suggest Adobe Premiere Elements.
    For the record, you can't apply an effect to anything in After Effects until you have selected a target layer in the timeline.  This functionality is true of any video editing or compositing software I can think of,

  • Help please...All menus grayed out in CS4...

    Premiere Pro used to work and a few weeks ago when I openned it, all of the menu items were grayed out and no editing panel or anything openned. I can't even quit the program. Literally everything is grayed out.
    There is nothing I can do with it.  I have uninstalled the entire Master Collection using the Adobe Installers and double checked to make sure things were cleaned up by using the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool.I have also attempted to just reinstall Premiere Pro from the disks to no avail.
    All other programs in the suite apprear to load and work fine. Only Premiere Pro CS4 does not work.
    Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I really need to be able to use the program and can't yet afford to upgrade to CS5.5... so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks guys!

    Thanks Bill. No worries... Haa, haa. I should have asked MYSELF about the second monitor.
    REALLY appreciate the help and care.
    Blessings bro.

    The second monitor has been an issue with several programs. Photoshop is one too.
    There is another thread, where a user was getting the "bing," that a window was open, but could not see it. Sure enough, it was on his second monitor, that had been disconnected. I should have asked if you had ever had a second monitor. I am the "dunce."
    Glad that you located the problem and good luck,

  • Fcp menus gray out for some reason

    what does it mean if your menus gray out after a render (i have to force quit)?? i upgraded to tiger, is there conflict problem with fcp 4 in tiger? i don't remember having this problem in panther.
    FCP 4.5 HD, latest quicktime, Mac OS 10.4.1, 1 gig memory, dual 867mhz g4

    I have only had this happen twice and the second time was just this morning. On my laptop running Tiger latest version and FCP 4.5 and QT 7.1 (I think)
    Did a long overnight render and this morning... all greyed out.
    It's one of those things that make you question wether you're really awake or not because you think it's just that you haven't got the program selected or something equally as simple. And of course, I couldn't remember what caused it last time. (which I believe was pre Tiger)
    But after trying everything I could think of, I finally had to Force Quit. Good news is that the only thing I could get to work was SAVE from the keyboard. But it would not quit from the keyboard.
    Opened the project after the restart and all was fine.
    PS, my computer was set to not sleep.
    I had no second monitor attached or selected.
    This is the only small issue I've had when using FCP 4.5 and Tiger, otherwise all has been worjing great including capture and PTV.

  • Music on my iPhone 5 won't play and is grayed out. HELP!

    I got my iPhone 5 about a year ago and I never had any problems with my music until now. About 2 hours ago, I wanted to download a new song. So after it downloaded, my 4 most recent songs I had downloaded from iTunes the day before became grayed out and wouldn't play! That problem eventually got fixed but now some songs that I have and haven't purchaced from iTunes aren't playing and are grayed out. This keeps showing up next to the songs that are grayed out and when I tap it nothing happens:
    I do have iOS 7.0.4, which is the latest softare. I don't know what happened when I plugged my iPhone in this time. I really need help without re-downloading all my music because I have about 500 songs. PLEASE HELP! Feel free to ask questions for details on my issue. Thanks.

  • Yellow triangle and a grayed out movie clip

    Hi, I created a project in iMovie 08, kind of elaborate for me, with several movie clips, each with a transition, and background music from iTunes through out the majority of the 3 minute and 30 second final project. Initially, all was well and the project played perfectly. A couple of days later when I went into iMovie 08 to enhance the project, several clips were grayed out and had a yellow triangle in the clip. Placing the cursor over the clip resulted in the clip "coming to life" that is revealing the clip but the clip was not visible in the browser and the grayed out clips were not visible if I played the project in full screen mode. If I published the project to the web, the grayed out clips would not show (the video portion); the audio which was part of the whole project would play. I do not think I moved any clips to a different location although I certainly added other clips to iPhoto and then to iMovie. I just finished the lynda.com training on iMovie 08 which was just released and I got no help from that training on the yellow triangle problem. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Great news! After some browsing around, I located the problem, and now my movie project is fixed!
    As it turns out, videos that are located in iPhoto are referenced based on the Event that they belong to, which means that if you change the name of the Event that the picture belongs to then iMovie will no longer be able to find your picture. (This is also why the clips appear in the lower section of iMovie, because they are still there, just in a renamed or merged event.)
    I was able to fix the problem very easily by renaming my event back to the original name, and then after closing and restarting iMovie all the nasty little yellow triangles were gone and all my clips were back as if they'd never left.
    This may or may not help, but for me, to make sure that I got the event name correct, I found the movie file (which was in "Movies/iMovie Projects") and then right mouse clicked and selected "Show Package Contents" so that I could see what was in my project, and then opened the "Project" file, which had the names listed in it. Hope that helps!

  • Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works
    Cheers !

    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

  • 9500 Mark II Printer and Photoshop (Mac) Quality and Media Grayed Out

    I have a PIXMA 9500 Mark II.  I am using the printer on an iMac.  In Photoshop, when I choose Quality and Media, the area to choose paper type and tray are grayed out.  It work fine in Safari.
    I have spoken to Canon, Apple and Adobe and no one seems to be able to get it to work.  It works in Safari.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hello larrygm.
    Unfortunately, if you continue to have difficulties with accessing the printer settings, we would have to advise that you use our Easy PhotoPrint Pro plugin with Photoshop or print the image using a different program. 
    The Easy PhotoPrint Pro plugin can be downloaded from our website and is compatible with most versions of Photoshop.  Once installed, you can access the plugin from the File/Automate menu of the program.

  • PDF Toolbar in IE7 Grayed Out. Why?

    We are using Acrobat Standard 8 and IE7.  We are experiencing an issue with the PDF toolbar in IE7.  Sometimes the toolbar is grayed out and at other times it is not.  This seems to happen randomly.
    During a recent training class, all participants visited the same site in order to convert the web pages to PDF.  Some users were able to use the PDF Toolbar to convert the web page, while others could not.  Those who could not convert the web pages had the PDF toolbar, but the icon was grayed out.
    If anyone could provide a reason this happens, I would be most appreciative.

    I was having the same issue with Internet Explorer 7 and finally solved it by going to Tools - Manage Add-ons - Enable or Disable Add-ons.  I then enabled all add-ons related to Adobe Acrobat.  It worked for me, give it a try!

    Oh, now that was a low blow. Insults are uncalled for.
    Seriously though, this is hardly the kind of bug that any programmer or QA dept would have even imagined. For something this wacky to happen just because a file is being saved to a relatively slow hard drive? No one could have foreseen even the possibility of such an oddball bug. That's just the way it goes sometimes, especially with huge applications like Photoshop.

    Yes, Sam, it wouldn't matter if your laptop were only two weeks old, laptops always use very slow hard drives to reduce both power consumption and heat, that's just one of the tradeoffs you make when you choose a laptop instead of a desktop.
    What should you be looking to upgrade to? Well, there does happen to be a high-spead option for laptops today that was not available when you got your laptop a couple of years ago: solid state drives (SSD), which are now an option (albeit expensive) in MacBook Pros. They are amazingly fast.
