Unable to insert photos from iPhoto into a Word document. File "iPhoto Library" is greyed out and won't let me choose it.

Choose it from where? See this user tip by Terence Devlin for how to access photos for use outside of iPhoto: How to Access Files in iPhoto
Have you tried dragging the photo from the iPHoto window into the open Word document window?

Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
Thanks
Derek

Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

Downloaded Mountain Lion from App Store, but it says by disk is locked and won't let me choose the hard drive for installation

I'm struggling to get Mountain Lion installed on my machine, but what is worse is that it has essentially rendered my computer useless (and of course I need to use it urgently). After downloading and installing from the App Store, I have run into some significant problems.
On install, when prompted to "select the disk where you want to install OS X" the hard drive is greyed out and a message comes up that says "The disk is locked."
So when I back out of the install, I am given the option for Disk Utility, Reinstall OS X (same results as before) or Restore from Backup (not backed up).
On the Disk Utility, I can hit Verify Disk and it names an error and says to hit Repair Disk. The error is an "Invalid Sibling Link. The volume Macintost HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired." Unfortunately, Repair Disk is greyed out and I can't hit it.
What I want to do is just forget the entire process at this point and scrap the upgrade until I have time to figure out what is going on. Is there a way to abort at this point?
Thanks for any help!

Your welcome!
You should always have and keep an up to date backup.
Sounds like you need something a little stronger than Disk Utility. At this point I have no way of knowing if Disk Warrior can or will help.
Depends..!
If you do format and install, then Yes it will.
If you reinstall OS X, then No it will not.
Problem is that according to the Disk Utility message, I don't think that you will be able to install either 10.6 or 10.8.
Those are very good questions. The only bad questions are the ones you have to ask yourself.

How can I drag multiple photos from iPhoto into a Word Document

I'm creating a collage of photos for a friend and in order to get the photos to the right size and print them without trouble I need to drag all of the photos from a certain album in iPhoto into an empty word document. Is there a way to do this? If not, why not?

It's best to drag one photo at a time from the open iPhoto window into the open Word document window. Resize the photo. Then drag the next one and resize.
If you have iWork a better solution is to use Pages. That way you can resize the drag the photos into any location on page, even overlapping other photos, whereas in Word it has to be on a separate line or small enought to fit two on a line. You can access the iPhoto Library from the Media Browser in Pages without iPhoto having to be open.

Greyed out songlist on ipod. I've installed latest software. When synching, msg says unable to transfer songs due to timeout. Now many songs on songlist are greyed out and unaccessible. What's happened?

Memory on 64GB ipod touch indicates about 0.88 remaining. But not all songs on playlist being synched are being transferred over and many (3,000 +) are now greyed out (full details shown but not accessible).
Any ideas?
Have already restored Ipod to original settings twice
Have already amended playlist to choose smaller total memory requirement
Still keeps showing msg 'timeout' failure

well done fairy princess!
it can be difficult to find the Knowledge Base documents if you're not familiar with the site. it took me a few weeks before i was comfortable with it.
if i'm looking for KB docs, i usually click on "advanced search" (just below the tab with the apple on it up at the top of the webpage), and select either "ipod for windows" or "itunes for windows".
usually once i find an article that i use a lot, i make a note of the link, or "favorite" it in my web browser.
(this particular article is a bit difficult to find, even if you do a search. the various different symptoms are so varied, that folks aren't likely to realise it's relevant to their problem even if they see the title of it appear in their search results.)

HT1349 my IPAD@ is asking for a password and yet doesn't accept any password I put into the space, it just keeps coming back imcorrect password and won't let me exit that window so I can't get into my IPAD at all what can I do

When I opened my IPAD2 today the keyboard was on the screen asking for my Hotmail password, however no matter which password I have entered it says it is incorrect and I have no way of clearing this window to use my IPAD. What can I do.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.]

Iphoto library is greyed out

I created a second iphoto folder on a separate portable hard drive and moved my holiday snaps into it to give me more space on my mac hard drive, but when trying to get some photos for my screen saver the iphoto library is greyed out and I can't select it. Is there a way to select it or change it from being greyed out?

Select system preferences in the dock. Desktop and screensaver, choose folder, jenniferprice/pictures/iphoto library.
Don't choose Folder.
Instead, click on the + at the bottom and look for the Media heading on your left. Select iPhoto there.

Allow multiple records from this table to be displayed in the form is greyed out.

I'm trying to add a second table to my main data source in an InfoPath 2010 form (database template), but the option to allow multiple records from this table to be displayed in the form is greyed out and I can't select it.
Can someone please tell me how to correct this? I'm guessing that there might have to be something change in MS SQL because on other occasions I've have not encountered this problem when adding a second table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

So I've found a work around, but I still don't know why I'm having the problem in the first place.
I've been trying to relate the two tables by using the primary key in the parent table to a view of the child table that also includes primary key in the parent, e.g. the ORDER ID in the order table relating to the ORDER ID in the view of the order detail
table. For whatever reason whenever I did that InfoPath prohibited the data source from returning multiple order details.
My work around is to use views of both the order table and order details table that include the customer ID and to relate the two table in InfoPath using the customer ID. Now I get a data source that allows multiple order detail records. In order to get
just the order details that I want that relate to a particular order, I use a rule that sets the order id in both the order and order details query data sets before executing the query (as opposed to just the order data set).
Hope that's a clear explanation.

Faces with revolving arrow and won't let me close iPhoto

HELP!! Until about a week ago I could use iPhoto, now it acts like it is trying to detect faces and won't let me do anything in iPhoto. I can't open pictures, I can't close it and it is making my computer run harder (the little fan thing is on, i think that is what I am hearing) Can someone please help me???

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You're going to need to Force Quit the app: You'll find that command under the Apple menu top left.
If the problem recurs every time you start iPhoto:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

TS3989 When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported). When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

Hopefully someone can help me with my question. When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported). When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).
How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding; try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it: Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

Since Apple's last Update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from any source. I receive a message saying, Importing photos but nothing happens. When I click on Stop Import, nothing happens. I must press the On/Off button to exit iPhoto.

Since Apples last update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from ANY source. When I attempt to do so, I receive the message "Import Preparing to inmport..." I've waited 10 minutes but nothing happens. When I click on the icon, Stop Import, nothing happens. When I attempt to Close iPhoto i receive the message, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." When I click on OK, nothing happens. The only way I can exit iPhoto is to press the On/Off button.

After loading this file I was sucessful in importing photos from a web site, my camera memory card and a CD containing photos.
That is a good news. We now know, that iPhoto is working as expected, when you are switching to a different library.
But this is puzzling:
I then see a box with two Librarys listed, both have the same name except for the following and are listed as:
iPhoto Library.photolibrary but one has (default) after its name which is the one which is always displayed when I load iPhoto.
Underneath the box is written:
/Users/paulfkardian/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
Underneath this are three boxes titled: Other Library Create New Choose
I highlighted the the File without the (default) after its name and clicked on Choose. A Library was loaded which had my photos (about 9,822) from about 7 months ago. Underneath the box is written diferently than the file always loaded and says:
/Users/paulfkardian/Pictures (original)/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
You are having two "Pictures" folders in your Home folder, Pictures and Pictures (original)? And each has a different iPhoto library - one working correctly, and one not? Do you remember, when this second "Pictures" folder has been created and what caused it? Did you restore your Home folder from a backup some time ago?
