Why is "Open" greyed out as an option after downloading?

My platform is Windows Vista Home Premium. My (main) browser I use is Firefox... but this problem is the same with IE (8) and Safari... all of which I have tried without success. I download a PDF attachment from my email and it downloads into my download folder. I right click on it to open and view it but the "open" and "open containing folder" options are greyed out. If I go to save the download it does not appear in the location I tell it to go to. My file associations in Windows are set correctly. I tried restoring my system but still no luck. If it has anything to do with it, this problem has surfaced when I upgraded from ver 9.0 to 9.2.

If that doesn't work, try restoring as new via http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
If that doesn't work, it's a hardwre issue. Free replacement if within warranty and not physically damaged, $149 if it is out-of-warranty or physically damaged, no replacement if unauthorized service has been performed on the device.

HT4906 Why is this greyed out in my options?

I am trying to stream my photos but the option to do so is greyed out in iCloud. All that is available is "Learn More" and there doesn't seem to be any helpful info there for turning on this option.

This Photo Stream feature requires OS X Lion v10.7.2 (or later) and iPhoto 9.2 (or later) or Aperture 3.2 (or later).
Does your set up match these criteria?

Why are songs greyed out in my itunes

Why are songs greyed out on iTunes? The songs will play within iTunes, but will not sync with my iPod Classic 160G. How do I correct this situation?

Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

Not Enough Memory typically refers to RAM. How much RAM do you have on your 64-bit OS computer? Do you have other programs running that may be using most of the memory?

ITunes 11 has moved most of my audiobooks to music, and greyed out the "audiobook" option in the info pane. WHY?!?!?

Now I have a music library filled with audiobook content and music content all mixed up, playing EVERYTHING when I'm on shuffle because iTuness 11 has now also reset the previously-audiobook-now-music content not to be skipped in shuffle, and I can't fix it because the option is greyed out. Can anybody help me?

Just an update, following last nights USB sync all music shows as In the library on my iPhone, however only the same 500 or so songs are playable, the rest go from appearing to be in the library to going into the cloud and starting to download when manually selected. If on shuffle the music skips over them. The iPhone memory usage shows only about 10gb used most of which is for the iOS/apps, so once again my music library is not on my iPhone. Apple have managed to take a great product and turn it into a steaming pile of turd.

Effects adjustment brush in Lightroom 5 greyed out, only available option is Custom. How do I enable Effects adjustment brush

Would like to know why Effects adjustment brush is disabled (greyed out) and the only other option is Custom.

It sounds as though you have the Mask Overlay turned on, but with the colour of the mask changed from the default pink to the dark grey that you are seeing when you paint. So either turn off the mask overlay, or change it's colour to something that suits you better (use Shift-O to cycle through the different coloured masks).
To clarify....when you paint with the mask overlay ON, you only see the mask colour on the painted areas until you either switch off the mask or dismiss the active adjustment brush (such as by clicking NEW)....then you get to see the actual effect that you painted.

Browser won't open - greyed out - says trying to restore last session - I am at a total loss on how to fix this-have restarted -- i still can't get it to work

i can't do anything when i open it up - it's greyed out -- have tried everything i can think of -- says restoring last session but never comes on - just says not responding if i try to click on toolbar or anywhere

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Publish Button Greyed out for Standalone Option

I'm using Captivate 3.0 for my project. I'm attempting to
publish my project using the Standalone feature. Unfortunately, the
Publish button is Greyed out. It doesn't matter what the file name
is, where I'm saving it, what's checked or unchecked...the button
is just greyed out the whole time.
How can I enable the Publish button through the Standalone
feature?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all
Have any of you tried upgrading the Flash Player version on
your PC? I notice from the screen capture, that Flash Player 6 is
selected, but disabled. Normally Captivate 3 only offers versions
7, 8 and 9 as an option. At first, I saw version 6 listed here and
thought that perhaps Captivate 2 was being used, as it was the last
version that offered the ability to publish in Flash Player 6
format. But I then noticed that the File Type of Windows Executable
wasn't selectable as well as the dialog showing Adobe Connect.
These are indicators you are using Captivate 3.
So the only thing that seems to make sense is that perhaps
you have Flash Player 6 on your PC and need to upgrade it.
This
link should take you to the Flash Player Download Center, where
your version in use should be reported and you will have the
ability to install a newer version.
Let us know how it goes! Rick

I am unable to delete Form & Search History (it's greyed out as an option to be deleted under the clear recent hisotry tab) help!

my son has used my computer to visit porn websites and I want to delete the Form and Search history so the drop down with these sites is eliminated. The instructions said to go to History > clear recent history and then chose Form and Search history, but it won't allow me to choose this (it's greyed out). How do I do this?

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

Why is Delete greyed out in the Edit menu? (track selected in regular playlist)

Hi. Starting today, Delete is permanently greyed out in the Edit menu in iTunes. This is with tracks selected in the Music library or in any playlist (not just Smart Playlists). I manage tracks daily, and this just started today. I upgraded to 10.4 about a week back so it was fine for a while. Immediately before the problem manifested itself, I selected "Always Show Artwork" from the View menu (which is available when you're in Album List mode), something I've never done before. But that might be totally unreleated.
Hitting the Delete key doesn't work either (actually that's my preferred method). However "Cut" and Cmd-X do work, as does the Delete command in the contextual menu. So I have a workaround.
Quitting and re-entering iTunes didn't help, nor did de-selecting "Always Show Artwork".

Hmm. I came to realise iTune Match had downgraded 38 of my tracks, which I'd ripped from my own CDs long ago, with 256kbps versions. I do have backup for the tracks, so I'd like to delete these 38 tracks (I've made a Smart playlist of them), deleting them from iCloud too; then with Match turned off, recover my originals (Add to Library) from an old Mac.
Can't do it! As Richard Tench said at the top, from 27 July 2011, Edit > Delete is permanently grayed out if you have opted for iT Match. And for me on iTunes 10.6.3 (Lion 10.7.4), that's not all: Edit > Cut and Cmd-x both just produce the Bonk sound. My Macbook keyboard has no Del key either.
But all the above are only true with Match active. Store > Turn Off iTunes Match will ungrey Edit > Delete (& fn-bksp etc I imagine). So I would then be able to delete the tracks locally. But of course, if you turn off iT Match you can delete all you like locally, but they will still exist in iCloud, and if I turn on iT Match again, the lower-grade 256kbps ones will come down from the clouds to replace my CD-ripped ones again! Won't they?
Is that right? Is there any way to exclude these 38 tracks (out of ~6500) from iTunes Match so I can keep my better quality CD-ripped ones? (Other than using Alt-Launch & creating a separate iTunes fileset for the 38 tracks - as you might have guessed, some of them fall right in the middle of albums.) Help!

Why are songs greyed-out in my iPhone's sync queue?

I fired up iTunes for the first time on a new computer and plugged-in a 2 week-old iPhone 4s to sync about 250 or so songs that were pre-existing on the computer.
The music is not purchased through iTunes; merely ripped from CDs ages ago. It's music that existed on my prior iPhone (4) with no problems.
Now, the music won't sync to my new iPhone. It shows up in iTunes, on the device's song list - but greyed-out. It appears to be in queue to transfer, but it won't sync. I have purchased music on my phone that I downloaded via wifi that works fine...
Any ideas? This is intensely frustrating.

I forgot to mention that when I look at the playlist that has been tranferred to the iPhone all the ones that won't play and are greyed out have a sync symbol next to the check mark.

Why is music greyed out in music libary, and nothing will play.

After upgrading to IOS 5 and re-syncing my music libary, all the songs appear on the itouch but they are greyed out (i.e. not the normal bold font) and it isn't possible to play them. I've tried restoring the itouch but same issue.

Try to resync your device with your Mac or PC pressing the sync button near your device name in iTunes.
Don't stop it manually.
And be sure your device and your Mac or PC are in the one WiFi network during all sync process.
This solved the same problem with my iPhone and iPad.
