Why is my dock gray?

ON my home screen my dock at the bottom of the screen and folder backgrounds are a gray color, Ive seen pictures where it is a blurry somewhat transparent backround to match the wallpaper, is there a way to fix this? I have tried several types of wallpapers.

Hiding is on, 'automatically and show dock is checked' and minimize using genie effect is chosen.
Why won't it hide?

Go to system preferences, click on Dock and then make sure magnification is ticked and the slider bar next to it isnt on minimun.

HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI. I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud. I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown.
I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

Iphone 5 - why is the phone# 'grayed'...

iphone 5 - why is the phone# grayed in imessage under "You can be reached...'?

Because there is no reason for it not to be grayed out.
iPhone automatically registers your phone number for use with FaceTime and iMessage during activation.
You can also add an email address to be reached at via iMessage in addition to your phone number, but you can't remove the phone number for this with an iPhone.

Even though the general language are in english, why are my dock commands german? (mid 08 macbook)

i just uograded to the new lion, and its a good OS. but i checked that although the language is english, then why are my dock command optons in german? that is also the case with my mission control headings. is there a way to fix this?

hey mate, sorry for the late reply.
thanks once again for the suggestions - after trying all of them, nothing really worked!
in fact, the situation became worse, as my macbook crashed, had to restart in safemode, and now i cannot access my dock and any lion-based apps (launch pa, mission control, etc....)
I even took my macbook to a nearby macbook outlet (not store) and they said to wait for the new 10.7.1 update, and although the processor has become slightly faster, I am yet able to access my dock.
they store itself suggested that i should downgrade to snow leopard again, however i am abroad for a while and dont have access to my installation disk, and it would require me to transfer MUCH data (ironically a thunderbolt port would have been useful!)
have you got any other suggestions? and any other poster would be truly welcome!
Cheers

Why is the text GRAY on a WHITE background?

This Community isn't an exact fit, but by process of elimination, it's where I was allowed. Whether the description of an app is on an iPhone or an iPad, and whether your viewing an app description either in the App Store or in the "What's New" section of an App Update, why is the descriptive text gray? It is very difficult to read on the white background. It would be much easier to read if the text were black. Can I have a witness?

You can comment to Apple on the matter here, if you wish:

In RGB mode, why does pasting 50% gray into a layer mask actually put K 59% in the mask?

Create a new (small) document in RBG mode, 8 bit, transparent background.
Fill the resulting Layer 1 with 50% gray, 100% opacity. The eyedropper reports RGB=(128,128,128).
Copy the layer to the clipboard.
Create a new Layer 2. Fill it with Green #00ff00 (the contents don't actually matter here).
Add a layer mask to Layer 2.
Bring that mask up for editing.
Paste in the contents of the clipboard. The eyedropper reports the contents of the mask as K 59%.
I was expecting 50% gray (or K 50%). Why did I get K 59%?
Addenda:
I'm using CS3 on a Mac. I haven't had a chance to see if the same thing happens with more current versions of PS.
Apply the layer mask in Layer 2. Extract the transparency to a new layer. The eyedropper gives the RGB of the
new layer as (106,106,106), with variations pixel by pixel of plus/minus 1.
Take the Difference between that new layer and Layer 1; the eyedropper gives the RGB of the difference as (22,22,22),
again with variations of plus/minus 1.
Paste the contents of the clipboard into a new layer. The eyedropper gives the RGB contents of that new
layer as (128,128,128), both without and with a Black & White adjustment applied.
Create a new layer, add a layer mask, fill the mask with 50% gray. The eyedropper gives the contents of
the new mask as (128,128,128) (now as expected).
The 50% gray used above is just for simplicity. I'm actually interested in inserting a complicated RGB
image containing only shades of gray into the layer mask. This example indicates that pasting won't
preserve the gray levels. Indeed, when I replace the initial 50% gray with a Black to White gradient,
the differences between the initial gradient and the one in the mask range roughly quadratically from 0 at 0,
22 at 128, and 0 at 255.

Thanks. First doing Edit > Color Settings, Gray > Gray Gamma 2.2 resulted in putting 50% gray in the layer mask.
Does changing the Gray setting have any effect on channel calculations, via Image > Calculations?
Or what you get from
Image > Apply Image, Channel > Transparency ?
I don't see "sGray" listed among the options for Gray in the Color Settings. Is it somewhere else?

Any update on why File Export is grayed out in Premiere Elements 8?

I just "upgraded" from 7. In the past versions I used Export command to quickly get myself an audio track exported. Not a huge deal because it looks like I can accomplish the same thing in the "Share" area, but why wouldn't they remove the menu command instead of graying out? Also, irritating because I've wasted 30 minutes trying to figure that out as well as another 30 min. having to go through the NVIDIA driver issue. Arggggghhhh.
Thx!
Jeremy

Ah, that would certainly make perfect sense. Thank you for that observation. Now, I feel better about the coding in PrE 8!
Appreciated,
Hunt

Why is the "iDVD" gray in the Share menu?

I want to burn a movie to DVD. In the Share menu, the iDVD is gray and cannot be selected. This is not true for other projects. How do I find out why and how do I fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Love & Peace, Grace

Hi
Do not use "Share to iDVD" - BUT
"Share to Media Browser"
In iDVD import from Media Browser here.
The resulting DVD will be so much better.
Yours Bengt W

Why are the options grayed out??

Why are the majority of my edit options grayed out. I cant copy and paste

OK. So we've established that you're in Photoshop CC on Windows 7 (nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat Reader).
What exactly are you trying to do in Photoshop CC? Can you outline in detail what steps you're taking and what's confusing you?

Why is chat support grayed out?

The chat suppot buttons are grayed out, There is a notice that "We will return at 6 AM." I have tried this several times after 6 AM and the situation remains the same. I need quick onine support becaus I am unable to make calls. Hw can I access chat support?

I have had the same problem with 'grayed out chat lines' for several days.
I am in remote area of Baja Sur Mexico, with phone suspended, but I am continuing to get billed via my auto pay account at my bank. I can't call 800 numbers from my Mexican phone. What are my options? I can pay several months in advance (had suspended for three months, but just activated today to be able to re-suspend for additional time), but don't want the hassle of trying to get a refund when I return . . .
I can't figure out why I am getting billed at all, plus my account shows much higher billing for both accounts than what I should be paying . . . absurd!!!

Why is cropping tool grayed out?

I use the latest Aperture 3.3.2. Got a picture ready to crop but cropping tool is grayed out? Anyone know why? The image is online and lets me print.
Thanks
Jerry

The only way I can make the crop tool greyed out is by taking the original image flles offline or by not selecting any image at all:
Are you sure, that you had the image selected and it is online, when you tried to crop? "Print" is not greyed out for offline originals, but it will not actually let you print
But if your image is online, and you have selected it, and you still cannot crop, your User preferences may be corrupted; then try to quit Aperture, log off and on again (to ensure Aperture really quits), and move the User Preferences (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist) from the user library to the Desktop - see the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics on how to do this.
If this does not help, try the other trouble shooting measure from this document, unless you tried that already.
