What does it mean when my drop down selections are not clickable?

I am using Photoshop CS5 and I want to view rulers, but the drop down for view extras does not show the selections as clickable.
Thank you.

  • What does it mean when it says that charging is not supported by this device?

    I had forgotten to bring my iPod charger with me, so I decided to use my sisters MP3 charger. The plug to the charger fits, and when I plug it into the computer everything works, it lets me sync my iPod, update it, transfer purchases and everything. The only thing that it won't let me to is charge it, which makes no sense  to me. It also shows on my iPod screen that my iPod is fully charged when its actually nearly dead. Does anyone know whats going on, and if so is there anyway to fix this??
    Some important information: i have an iPod touch, and even though it says it can't charge the iPod remains alive even though when unplugged it says that its dying.
    thanks(:

    well, Apple only allows certified chargers to charge the device to protect it from any overloads of power etc. so try and find a different one that supports your device and its generation.

  • What does it mean when the iPhone says "accessory may not be supported"

    My phone is not charging and I just got a new charger

    It means apple blocked the chip in your charger because the software key used to handshake to check that it's a certified apple product failed and it will block you using it.
    It was a path apple decided to release with ios7 that caused millions of cables and chargers to fail. They had millions of complaints about it too but they went down the 'nothing's wrong, I've never seen that problem before' path 'if you have a certified product it should work' ... Response. Making it sound like not having a certified product is is some way shape or form 'illegal' but it's not.
    We have been phasing out thousands of apple products because of this in favour of standardised usb connection ports such as those on the samsung, htc, sony, and Nokia.
    Your options are go buy another cable or charger from apple till you get one that works or switch phones. There is a third method that involved modifying the software to stop it but it's beyond most people and if you have to ask on these forums about it you probably don't have the time or skill to do it. Also they remove and block anyone who talks about it or how to do it so that's all I will say 

  • HT4199 What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and the bars come up but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network?  You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
    If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
    Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
    If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad.  See if it now connects correctly.

  • TS2310 what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.

    what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.

    1. It means exactly what it says. Apple dropped support for earlier Mac OS X versions in iTunes 10.7.
    2. Update the computer to 10.6.8. If it's running a Mac OS X version prior to 10.6, this requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

  • What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle?

    What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle? It's a old imac from 1997.

    I don't have original discs that it came with.
    Then you still can use the second option with the keyboard combo I posted, called "resetting the PRAM."
    Also when you way hold the c key down do you mean turn computer off and turn back on holding the c key?
    Yes, or you can simply restart. As you don't have the CDs, this isn't on the plate any more.
    The internal backup battery is not expensive and, in most iMacs is user-replacable. If yours has a tray-loading optical drive like this one:
    it takes a major teardown to replace the internal battery. If this is the case, you'd be better off to leave the computer plugged in all the time; that eliminates the main reason for having a working battery.
    If it has a slot-loading optical drive like this one:
    things are much easier. The battery is visible through the RAM access door on the bottom of the computer case. The manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMacG3_2000UserManual.PDF
    has sketches of how to access the RAM and therefore the backup battery. Unfortunately, the pdf on the manual goes up sideways on-screen and the RAM instructions are pretty deep into the manual. It's probably easier to scroll (for a while) to the section on adding RAM and print the applicable pages.
    When you work on the battery, some sort of non-conductive pliers or large tweezer or forceps help unless you have tiny fingers. Make sure to note the polarity of the old battery and install the new one in the same orientation.
    The battery itself is readily available. If price is no oblect, you can get it for a small rasom from Radio Shack Store ("Tandy" outside the US) as part number 23-026.
    Online, they are dirt-cheap even after adding shipping. I buy backup batteries form this outfit:

  • What does it mean when it says "ipad has lost it's pairing"

    what does it mean when it says "ipad has lost it's pairing"

    If you are getting that message when you try to sync your iPad, eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and then try to sync again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, just try using a different USB port.

    what does it mean when starting up, all you get is an envelope with a question mark in it?

    You should reinstall OS X. See the following for reinstalling instructions for Lion/Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • What does it mean when I get "there was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"?

    What does it mean when I get “there was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)”?

    Sign out of the Mac App Store via the Store menu
    Quit the Mac App Store
    Log out of your Mac OS X user account (from the Apple menu)
    Log back in to your user account
    Launch the Mac App Store, sign in, and try downloading again
    You should be able to download any app trouble free now. If you still have problems, reboot your Mac.

  • HT201359 What does it mean when a purchase is billed to "store credit"? Is it one of those iTunes gift vouchers? Only reason I ask is because I downloaded Ken Follit's FREE book from the 12 days of Christmas app and seem to have been charged 10.99 for it!

    Thank you so much for the link. Am persevering thru it, will get there eventually, as I had already tried to press the Report a Problem link on the invoice, but it won' t connect to iTunes store on my iPad, it keeps saying can't connect. Infuriating. But thank you, you found me a link I would have taken ages to find.

  • What does it mean when your whole i phone screen turns green

    What does it mean when your whole iphone 5 screen turns green

    It means that you jailbroke your iPhone with redsn0w. There are several known methods to fixing this issue:
    1. Plug it into your computer and restore
    2. Plug it into your computer, then hold the power button for about 6 seconds
    3. Hold the power button and the home button to restart it. As soon as it turns on, plug it into your computer and wait
    4. Time. Sometimes it fixes itself over time.
    I would suggest refraining from jailbreaking your device next time. I know it tempting to do so, but if you want to root your phone or play with emulators, I would suggest an android device. Btw, iOS 7 looks promising for the Apple community. Keep your ears peeled this week during WWDC.

  • What does it mean when I turn on my mac there is a file on the screen and it won't turn on?

    What does it mean when I turn on my mac and a picture of a file comes up and it won't turn on? I hold the button and turn it off and try again and sometimes it goes on and other times the file comes back on.... do I have a virus? What should I do?

    No, you don't have a virus, but if that folder has a flashing '?', it means your Mac can't find its' system:

  • What does it mean when your ipod is in recovery mode and how do I solve this problem

    What does it mean when your ipod is in recovery mode and how do I solve this problem?

    Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
    You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

    Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

    You can't do a backup of icloud to an external drive.  In fact, does your post have anything to do with icloud (you're in the icloud forum)?
    What kind of "system backup" are you doing?  Are you using Time Machine?
