Why is "calculate all sizes" box greyed out?

I am trying to manage THREE iPhoto libraries (want to consolidate two of them because I think there are dupications) on an external drive. 
First step, I'd like to see how much space each of my folders on this disk takes up.
I was told, go to Finder screen, choose view options and click the "calculate all sizes" box.
Mine is greyed out, unavailable.  Why?

That was the problem, thank you!

  • Why is the reverb selection box greyed out in one of my songs?

    It won't give me the option of checking reverb in the "Details" of an instrument, but the other effects like compressor, equalizer, and echo are fine.

    That was the problem, thank you!

  • Why did auto update stop working - check box greyed out!

    I suddenly realized it had been months since I had seen an update at home, but was getting them regularly on my office machine. Checking help about I found I was running 3.0.6, I tried to click the check for updates and it was greyed out. Checking options/advanced/updates I found the box was checked but greyed out.
    I had turned off checking for updates in my wife's account as she has no privilege and is not computer literate. I run my account without privileges but provide admin password when requested.
    My solution obviously was to download the current version (3.6.11) and no longer are any boxes greyed out.
    Question is - have I set up Netscape in a way that will result in the problem reoccurring?

    None taken. Firefox is built off what used to be the Netscape browser; common parentage.
    You might need to login to an admin account to update Firefox with Win7, but that's purely conjecture. 3.0.6 is so old that I wouldn't worry about it anymore; see if 3.6.11 updates automatically or from the Check for Updates menu item once 3.6.12 is released.

  • "Calculate all sizes" checkbox not working in Lion

    Even when I have checked "Calculate all sizes" in View options, Lion does not show the sizes of many files and folders.  The size information is also missing when I do a command-I.  Has anyone figured out how to make Lion show file sizes?

    On my Lion install (10.7.1), I don't see that checkbox at all in the view options window.  Anybody know why?
    EDIT: Oops, I just realized that checkbox (and several others) are only visible in list view, not column view.

  • Why is my automation tools now greyed out?

    it was not before, but I needed to wipe my computer, and reload all my software.

    Yes, I do have onOne Perfect Photo Suite 6.  Before I bought the Suite, I used a free program they offered.  I also had Perfect Portrait installed.  At that time the automation tools were not grayed out.  But due to a computer glitch, my OS (windows 7) needed to be reinstalled.  I then reloaded all of my software, including the new Suite 6.  That is when the automation tools got grayed out.

    Generally the automation tools menu is resevered for legacy plugins, scripts or third party plugins.In the default install of elements, at least in recent versions, the automation tools menu is grayed out. Did you have any third party plugins installed like onOne plugins?

  • Get Info versus Calculate All Sizes

    When I go to Finder > View Options and set Calculate All Sizes to "on" for all windows, the GB Free is posted under the hard drive icon (e.g. 94.04 GB, 24.45 GB free). If that value changes for any reason (download of files, whatever), it doesn't immediately update the values under the icon. If I do a Get Info, however, it has updated immediately.
    Is there a way to force Get Info and Calculate to remain in synchronization?

    That should do the trick.

    that option does not display the HD sizes so its useless when copying between drives, no way to determing how much space is left with out loking for a new window which is backwards,
    i dont see anything cool about lion, maybe if i just got my first mac and into games, nice job apple, not only forgeting pro users into graphics or film but regular day to day  real life situations users who are not just at apple presentations or in a store trying out a mac, to think their is no need for this feature proves who the marketing department is actually targeting for sales,, talk about a flash in the pan presintation

  • View Options - Calculate All Sizes

    For some reason, I am not getting any sizes for folders inside one particular folder even though I have calculate all sizes checked. It is not a speed issue. It works on other folders, but I have one folder that it just fails in.
    If I create a totally new folder in another area I get sizes. If I add folders and drag items into these new folders I get sizes. If I drag folders from the non-calculating folder into the correctly working folder the newly added folder still does not calculate. But if I copy the contents of the non-calculating folders into newly created folder then it does calculate the sizes.
    Also, if I copy the contents out of a non-calculating folder into a new folder and then copy them back, the folder starts calculating the size. So that is my workaround.
    One note, all the folders that are not calculating were copied from a network drive (Novell network).
    Just a very odd bug.
    Not sure how to report this bug. Any suggestions?

    The funny thing is that I have an empty folder which size is impossible to calculate, either by the "calculate all sizes" in the view option or by the Infos window for that folder.
    That might be a problem with old folders created in Tiger or before. For example, no way to get the size of any Adobe CS3 folder, but each document or folder size inside each InDesign or Photoshop folder is listed adequately. Stragely, the Illustrator folder works fine !
    So, I've done a little experiment. I've created a new folder named "Adobe ind" and put all the content of the "Adobe InDesign" folder. The size came intantly... Than, I've put all the document back in the old folder and everything is OK.
    Tedious job, but it works,

  • Save for Web & Devices Box Greyed Out

    Hey everyone,
    I'm trying to save a Photoshop CS4 file for Web & Devices so I can have Photoshop compile the slices and the CSS so I can hand-design rollovers. Unfortunately, all of a sudden the dialogue box for Save For Web & Devices is greyed out... I've check online, changed color profiles, deleted save for web and devices library files, updated Photoshop, nothing. I've even checked past .psds I've designed that I've saved for Web & Devices and haven't changed since--even the Web & Devices box is greyed out for them. Help! What do I do? I need to do this before Friday. Thank you!

    Hi
    I'm also having the same problem with the Save for Web & Devices Box Greyed Out.
    I think it's the plugin that's corrupt,  as I've tried deleting preferences and seetings. I can't find the photoshop cd to  reinstall it.
    Has anyone got the MAC CS4 Photoshop "save for web  plugin" (Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Plugins/Adobe Save for Web CS4/Photoshop/Adobe Save for Web CS4 Prefs) that they could send me.
    Thanks very much

  • Calculate all sizes not saving

    I clicked View>Show View Options in Finder, and clicked "calculate all sizes"
    However, when I restart, the option comes unchecked.
    Any way to force it to save this?
    Thanks!

    The problem seems to have resolved itself.
    I don't know how, or why, but it did.

    Well, I don't understand this any more than when I posted, but it seems that it's the Animation codec that is the culprit. If I export using DV, there's no problem conforming to 24. Anyone have any ideas why that might be the case?

  • All options are greyed out after i Click on Apply Maitenance

    Hi All,
    I am upgrading our EPM system from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2. I have downloaded all the required files from e-delivery.oracle .com and unzipped them. I selected Apply Maintenance and when i clicked next all the options are greyed out. I am not sure what i have done wrong. I am using the same user ID which was used for installation of hyperion 11.1.2.1.
    Kindly help me out.
    Find the screenshots at my blog.

    Regards,

    From your screenshot it says that 11.1.2.2 Foundation has been installed when it should say 11.1.2.1 like this - http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J_9A8U41JS0/T5WXO3JQtxI/AAAAAAAAEj8/0nqcNdo1bFQ/s1600/image022.png
    Also you should only have the option to "Apply maintenance release" like this - http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1zQHVCODSr0/T5WXNLQN4YI/AAAAAAAAEj4/vNQ_vOT03_8/s1600/image021.png in your screenshot you also have the option to Re-install the release.
    Are you definitely sure the environment has had nothing applied to it.
    Cheers

  • New 6th generation ipod - loaded my library onto the iPod  all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist.

    I have purchased a new 6th generation ipod and registered it with Apple- it has loaded all my library onto the iPod but when the library is displayed all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist. Can anyone help me ?

    The content that you are viewing on your Nano via iTunes is grayed out since your iPod is set up for automatic syncing with your iTunes library.  If you want to be able to manually manage your contents (which is sounds like you are trying to do), you must enable the Manually manage music option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.

  • Trying to update my apps...all apps are greyed out and say waiting.

    ..all apps are greyed out and say waiting. This has been going on for a day. I have reset my setting turned off my iPad and no changes

    Maybe one of these suggestions will work. Ignore any that you have already tried.
    Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.
