Why can't I access lighting effects in CS3

Hi All
This is my first post as I am new to this forum. I am a biginner at photoshop. I am 80% through a tutorial from phong.com ref; "beveled metal in photoshop" and cannot go any further because lighting effects is grayed out in the menu drop down list. Please if somebody can help I dont know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks

make sure that in Image->Mode you have RGB Color and 8bits/channel selected
edit: image just got checked. You have to go to Image->Mode->RGB Color

Why can't I use lighting effect filter in CS6 with an 8bit RGB file?

I've read all over that the filter only works with an 8bit/RGB file, which my file is, so I don't understand what the problem is. I am attempting to light a smart object (3d bevel and extruded text) that I created in illustrator, and thought that I might just need to rasterize the smart object before the filter would work, but even after I render it and or flatten the image, merge visible, I still don't have the option to use lighting effects! Please help!

Thank you for your prompt reply. After doing a bit of investigating I'm finding out this video card is pretty shite (work owned machine), and I didn't have the gp enabled in performance prefs. I had been using such an old version of PS previously I wasn't aware there was a setting for this, frankly. Per some other threads I found, I updated to the latest graphics accellerator drivers for it as well, but unfortunately the enable gp option is still greyed out, so I'm guessing it just won't run this onboard gpu doesn't meet some minimum system requirement or something. Thx again.

Why can't I access the effects on iMovie?

I have the new iMovie '11, and can't seem to access ANY of the effects, like Slow Motion, Fade to black and white or Sepia, I can't change the speed or how long the interval is between images. Everything I go to do is gray, and can't be done. Please help!!!
Thank you!!!

Such a simple fix. I really did look at a lot of reference stuff to find the answer but could not.
true story ... back in the day, it took me about 20-30 minutes of quiet desperation to work out what the new rules for this were with the 7.0.x versions ...

Why can't i access Pages on my mac osx Maverics version 10.9.5. Do i need to upgrade to Yosemite? I was using it yesterday just fine.

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    Do this twice
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the appropriate method.
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
     Make sure that no box is checked under “Mute”.

Password - why can't adminstrators access customer password

I am a system adminstrator for two sites and I am becoming increasingly frustrated at the inability to access customer passwords. I have a number of custoemrs who regularly forget their passwords who are not particularly computer savvy and I am not able to help them without a lot of phone/email support. Whereas under the previous system I could communicate their password to them saving both of us a great deal of time and energy.
I am very aware that BC changed the system to deny access to passwords for all but the customer but this for my sites is ridiculous. I have access to all info that my customers have and I can 'change/update' any customer info on my site so why can I not access their password.
This is extremely frustrating as the current process assumes computer literate users and that the system 'Forgotten Password' tokens work - the latter is not always the case and I have a current support request to this effect.
I would appreciate someone who knows the system well to explain to me the rationale behinds BC's change to password access adn what is the reality re how this enhances cuntomer security when the systems administrator has access to all that customers data.

Hey Richard. I think you miss understand here.
Most secure systems - no password in the admin. You have the button in the admin to send a email for the reset request. This will also show (if you sort the site correctly) on the form they use to login.
Both use the reset email and again, ensuring that is set up correct is something you have access to and ensure has the elements and worded as you need them to be.
If people keep forgetting their password that to be quite frank it is their problem, why should a system become less secure because of this?
Do good systems do this? No , should they change? heck no.
Set up the processes to so the flow is easy to reset (which you have control over) and if they keep forgetting then they need to change them to something they wont forget.
Are you going to contact Apple and their Itunes store and ask them for your password? They wont know and not provide it to you, they do not know as it is in encrypted.
Like any systems you may also be aware of they say "No customer support respresentitive will ask for your pasword or provide you with your password". Etc.
This will not change.

Hey GingCarv,
Great question. You'll want to download the movies from your purchase history. The following article explains how to do so:

Note: At this time, movies are not available for automatic downloads.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

Why can't I access photoshop cs6 on my computer?

Details: I launch the program and it prompts me to sign into my adobe account. I click "sign in," and then it loads for awhile. It then displays an error message specifying that I am not connected to the internet or that my pc's clock is not properly synched. I reset my internet connection and synched my clock , but to no avail. The same error message is displayed every time. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Hey Pete,
I'm using Windows 7 and I don't think I have any firewalls. But it has recently come to my attention that before my brother gave me this computer, he installed Clock Stopper to extend free trial programs. It's since been uninstalled, but could that program have messed up my clock permanently?
Thanks

Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone?

Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone? I've turned the phone off and also closed all the apps. But still won't allow me to access the updates. Just a blank screen.

Another post is reporting that applying the 6.1 update fixes their issue. I'll have to wait until I am back on WiFi to try that.

You must've blocked cookies. iTunes requires cookies I believe. If you did block it follow these steps:
Go to settings > safari > block cookies > never.

Because the owners of the songs have not licensed them for sale in the U.S.
Apple doesn't have any say in the matter. it's up to the owner of the distribution rights for the music.
