Selective Color panel is unavailable (greyed out) in PS CS5

Hi!
I've had this problem occur in previous versions as well.
I work on an image and use Selective Color to make adjustments, then, out of nowhere, the panel no longer operates.
I can no longer select the colors from the drop down menu for adjustments because the menu is grayed out...here is a photo to demonstrate...
Do any of you know why this is happening?
Thanks!

I know this is old, but in case you come across it again this is one fix that works about 75% of the time.

I have a new Macbook pro, I cannot get past the country selection screen. 'Continue' is greyed out and keys just make error sounds. How do I move it on?

What should I do now? Its around 40 miles away the apple store? Would they pay my taxi fare to go and return?
How can we trust this apple product?
You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care.

Select Color Panel - Color Picker

The select color panel should allow you to select a color from any part of the screen, not just the spectrum in the color panel itself.
This would make local adjustments MUCH easier, especially in the case where there are tonal gradations of an object.

Click in the panel and drag onto the image to get the color picker.

TS1398 WiFi selection in settings is all greyed out - I cannot choose a WiFi connection

Suddenly my WiFi connection on iPhone 4S is kapput. WiFi selection in settings is all greyed out - I cannot choose a WiFi connection

I have the same issue - and I've tried everything listed in these forums and more. Nothing has worked - and I've had the phone less than 24 hours.
I took it to an Apple store to see a Genius this afternoon. They don't say what is wrong, but offered to replace the phone however BEWARE - when they say they will replace it, they often mean with a refurbished device, they will not replace it with a new device. Because I bought mine from a different retailer, even though it is an Apple device failed less than 24 hours out of the box, Apple will not give me a new phone - they acknowledged that it is a manufacturing defect, and couldn't understand why I was not satisfied with receiving a refurbished device. This seems ridiculous to me - I'm a long-time, repeat customer - but that doesn't appear to matter. I've heard great things about Apple customer service, now that I've needed it, I've found it isn't so great after all.
I got in touch with the retailer from whom I purchase the phone - they were shocked that Apple would not replace it - especially since I have Apple Care. They are now trying to get it worked out and obtain a new phone for me.

The D600 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and later - not CS5 unfortunately.

Why is select calendar and address book greyed out? Why can we not select these options?

Why can we not select address books or calendars? Why is this option greyed out in ITunes 12?

You have to make the selection active.
Go to Select>all, then Select>modify>border.
Another way is to use a stroke:
Open your picture file
Go to Select>all
Open a blank layer above this
Go to Edit>stroke(outline) selection. In the dialog, enter the width of the stroke, choose color, place it inside, ok it.
If you don't like the border, delete the layer with the stroke, and adjust to suit, then do it over starting with step #3

IMessage not selecting my phone number, its "greyed" out.

I have an iPhone 4S and it was on a monthly 02 contract but I have not terminated my contract with O2. I had my iPhone unlocked so I could use it on any network. I now have a Vodafone sim card in the phone and am on PAYG. However my iMessage is not working properly. When I try to active my iMessage my phone number is "greyed" out so I cannot send messages via my mobile number ...so can only send text messages. I did use the Vodafone sim card in my iPhone whilst my number was being ported across so it did have a temporary number. However, now my original number has been ported across I can no longer select it under iMessage as it is "greyed" out.
How do I resolve this?

Ok just want to verified I can't able to face time using my phone number anymore? I don't have any option to delete my daughter's number or my e-mail address only I can add e-mail's.... I tried trouble shootings step by step but still stack in same way...` any suggestion ?

I want to print. 'selection' and' print frames' are greyed out.

I want to print info on a page. 'selection' & 'print frames' are greyed out.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== forever

Hi,
My dad told me he had this 'no selection' problem when he wanted to print out a selection in Hotmail, so I had a hunt around, but didn't find a definitive solution.
So, I have done some playing around, and have come up with this solution which works if you want to print out a selection in Hotmail (using firefox), but it is now greyed out.
It seems to be connected with the way that Hotmail handles frames.
(Thought I would post it as posts like this have helped me a ton in the past :0))
'''To print a selection in hotmail you need to do this.'''
1/ On the email you want to print click the small Printer icon in the hotmail menu.
There is no need to highlight a selection at this stage because the email is in a frame, so it will do no good anyway.
2/ A new page will open up and the printer dialog box will open up.
Close the printer dialog box.
3/ Highlight the text selection that you want to print on that page.
4/ Press Ctrl-P on the keyboard.
5/ The printer dialog box will now pop up again and you will be able to choose 'Selection'
Your selection will now print.

Metadata Panel in Bridge - Greyed Out - what did I do?

I am using CS2 and the metadata panel (view - Metadata panel) is greyed out. What can I do to make it active?
Thanks very much.
Joanne

Does it gray out for files in other folders, have you tried to create a new window?
Check if your files are not write protected or locked and try to reset the preferences. In Bridge 2 that means holding down the shift + option + command key while restarting bridge and check the rest options you will.
Don't know if that is the same for Bridge 1 but you can try.

Photoshop CC - Swatches panel overflowing with greyed out automatically-added swatches

Please help!
Most of the top row are swatches I've added myself, but the rest are garbage swatches that have somehow gotten added automatically. Reloading the swatches file seems to fix this temporarily, but soon enough these "phantom" swatches are back. The phantom swatches are selectable and the selected swatch color shows up in the color panel.
Is this a corrupted file? Or maybe a setting somewhere?

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
Safe Mode - Mavericks also Yosemite
If it works in the Safe Mode, reboot and test. If it still doesn't work, try running this program and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read.

Cannot select Product Version. Its greyed out ???

Hi All,
       I have configured maitenance ooptimizer in sol man 4.0. but when i tried clicking the "Maintenance Optimizer" button under the "Change Management" -> "Support Package Stacks", I see every selection greyed out. I am not able to select any option (i.e Product Version, Priority, Short Text, and even the Back and Continue buttons are also greyed out).

    I feel still there's some sort of authorization missing but not sure whats that.
   Can someone please reply to help me with this...

Why is "New Volume From Layers" Greyed Out? (PS CS5 Extended)

OK here's what I've tried, based on forum research:
1. Make sure two layers are selected.
2. Deleted PS CS5 preferences (using Shift+Ctrl+Alt method) - tried twice.
3. Checked that my video card is supported (it is).
Yet this menu item continues to be greyed out - I'd appreciate any suggestions to get it working!
I cannot find out how this menu item is meant to be used as there seems to be no article in Adobe Help.
Thanks in advance!

Is there an "unhelpful answer" button?
In that case how does this guy get it to work with TWO layers http://www.planetphotoshop.com/3d-light-beams.html and also the demo from MAX2010 - maybe he was bluffing?
And two vector paths is normally enough to interpolate a 3D volume in any 3D modeller I've ever used. So the "minimum of 3 paths" is simply not true.
So, I'm left with the question why is "New Volume" from layers greyed out?
Thanks
Richard
P.S. It works with two layers on my OSX 10.6.7 machine.

Want to posterize, but Filter Artistic greyed out in PS CS5

OK, I'm stumped. Want to posterize an image from Lightroom 5.4. Sent it to Photoshop CS5 using Lightroom's Edit In command. When I try to select Filter > Artistic to posterize, Artistic is greyed out and I can't select it.
Same thing happens with both *.tif and ^.psd formats.
What do I need to do to get this to work?
Thanks.
Mark

Posterize would be under adjustments.
And the artistic filters are part of the Filter Gallery, which only works for RGB and Grayscale images in 8 bits/channel, and up to 30,000 pixels on a side.
The file format doesn't matter - the image size and mode are what matters.
