Why new 3d extrusion from selected layer greyed out??

I have an HP6910P and it has 4GB ram AND an intel GPU card why is not working??

There was a bug at one time where really simple paths (like a triangle, for example) could cause that error.
Is your path really simple (I don't plan to go watch the video)? If so, have you installed the latest update for Photoshop? That bug may have been fixed already.
If it's not that, it's possible that if your path is really complex and simply exceeding Photoshop's capability.

Look in your windows reliability history at your Photoshop CC 3d Crashes see what the failing module is.
Also the current version of Photoshop is CC 2014.2.2 Photoshop.exe version 15.2.2. You should make sure all Photoshop updates have be applied and the you have installed the latest Display device driver for your Graphic Adapter so its GPU support is up to date.

Problem with "Create New Extrusion from Selected Layer" CC 2014

Hello, I'm experienced with Photoshop but am new to 3D text in Photoshop. I type in some text and convert to a shape. When I choose Create New Extrusion from Selected Layer I get dialog box I don't see in any tutorials. It says "You are about to create a 3D layer. Would you like to switch to the 3D workspace? Yes/No, Don't show again." Which should I use for 3D text?
If I choose Yes, all the panels go away and the content in the tool options bar (ribbon?) just under the menu bar go away. I have to restart Photoshop to get the tool options back. What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks - Dave

I just chose "No" and didn't look back. I like my workspace just as it is, and don't prefer Photoshop to change it for me under this particular case.
You can make the 3D panel visible yourself via Window - 3D. I find it's a good alternate for the Actions panel, as I don't have any actions at the moment that work in the 3D world.
The panels you'll want to see easily if you work on 3D are the 3D panel and the Properties panel, among a few others.
Regarding getting your workspace back the way you like it... Note the little selector near the upper-right corner of the Photoshop main window. That can be used to select a workspace. I suggest you experiment and get familiar with the concept of workspaces. You can define your own and save it with a name, and that truly can be helpful.

Trying to restore ipod from one that died. But restore from backup is greyed out in the itunes menu.

I have latest version of itunes on Mavericks, a brand new ipod nano, and I am trying to restore my old dead ipod from its last backup onto the new ipod. The previous (dead) ipod was inherited from my daughter and is called "Kim's ipod" and I didn't get the option to initialise with the same name when I first connected it to itunes. I suspect that might be the problem.
Restoring from backup is greyed out in the file menu.
This strikes me as a situation that shouldn't be too uncommon - I'm wondering what I am missing.
- How to restore a new ipod from the backup of a new one
- Why is the restore from backup option greyed out
- Or, how to reinitialise the ipod so that the new one can have the same name as the old one in order to back it up.
Or anything else that I might have missed. FYIY the new ipod is NOT in recovery mode.

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!

What's the keyboard shortcut for "Extrusion from Text Layer"? (Mac CS6)

I keep triggering this by accident and can't figure out what combo I'm hitting, or how to disable it. I've looked in the Keyboard Shortcuts but can't find it.
I'm on a laptop keyboard, so I use the fn key a lot to access enter when I'm finished editing text. Every once in a while (but often enough to be annoying), I attempt to enter out of text editing and suddenly everything stops, the gray rotating "processing" cursor appears, and for a few seconds I'm in a mild panic about how long it's been since I saved. Then a dialog box comes up asking if I want to switch to the 3D workspace or something. Clicking "no" doesn't stop the unwanted 3D thing from happening, and the last History item then says "Extrusion from Text Layer." I then Undo and go on with what I was doing.
I've always got my left hand positioned over the lower left corner of the keyboard, and move quickly when using shortcuts and switching tools. I have no idea what combination I keep hitting by accident - something with fn, ctrl, opt, cmd, shift, I don't know, plus possibly return or enter. What is it, and how do I disable it?

Trial-and-error prevails: It's fn + shift + return. (Or shift + enter on a full keyboard, I suppose? Unless that still does a soft line break like shift + return.)
But only when I'm actively editing the text layer - not with the text layer selected and Move tool active, or even with the text layer selected and Type tool active, but only when in the process of using the Type tool to edit the text layer. I still have no idea to disable it, though.

Add grade layer greyed out

I'm in a direct link Pr project in Sg. Why are the add grade layers are greyed out?

This still isn't explained well ... so here goes.
In a Direct Link mode, you are using the Premiere Pro project file as the basis for all things done. It is a very different beast than a SpeedGrade project file, and in some ways amazing they can do this. However, there are some limits. SpeedGrade is NOT allowed to "touch" any timeline setting ... add, cut, or trim clips, add layers to a sequence, nothing. Hence what is natural to do in SpeedGrade in "native" mode is not allowed in Direct Link.
So ... the way to get grading layers is to create Adjustment Layers in PrPro, placing them over and across (if applicable) those clips of a sequence where you want to apply a grading layer. Then in Sg, you simply use that as your grading layer. It was a bit strange at first when the CC model came in, but I quickly learned to follow this. And when I forget to create one or discover I need one, it's a few seconds to go back to PrPro through the return-to-PrPro icon, create the layer/s, then DL back to Sg.
Of course, creating multiple layers on any track be it a clip or layer is the same ... the lower left corner layer stack is the typical Adobe-style process. And I do recommend creating additional primary, secondary, or " + " layers for nearly every different step of the process.

Stopping highlights from selected layer

Hi,
In regards to the new adobe photoshop CS6, i am having some issues selecting a layer. It automatically creates a stroke on each selected layer which is really really annoying.
and second
Any help would be perfect

You are correct, Command-H removes it but i have some rulers on the file and it remove that as well. Is there no way just to elimate this path selection thing.

Applescript to delete from selected layer and page

Hi,
This is part of a bigger script, but this is where I am having the problem. Hopefully very easy to solve, but driving me mad.
I want to delete a text box from the active page only, and only from one layer.
I can get it to work on one layer, but all pages. And on one page, but all layers.
Could someone please help me write the line to select both active page and layer "slug".
Thanks,
Matt
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"

          tell myLayer

G'day
It's a hassle, isn't it.
I've only got CS2 at home, so I haven't had a chance to test this in CS5 — but you need something like this :
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
    activate
    tell active document
        tell active page of layout window 1
            try
                ungroup groups
            end try
            set theseFrames to (every text frame whose contents contains "delete me")
        end tell
        repeat with thisFrame in theseFrames
            if item layer of thisFrame is layer "Slug" then
                delete thisFrame
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell
hope that helps

Why are my iPod's contents all greyed out when viewed from iTunes?

I have a 5th gen iPod nano, with software version 1.0.2
I have sync'd the iPod with the content I have in iTunes. Now when I try to look at any of the content on the iPod via iTunes (by connecting the docking cable, and clicking on the iPod under "DEVICES"), everything is greyed out. I can't play any of the music or modify any of the information, like volume adjustment or equalizer presets.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it? I already tried restoring the iPod and re-syncing everything. It worked for awhile and then the same thing happened.

Click here and follow the instructions.

The option to edit in Photoshop from lightroom is grey out.

I'm on a PC, been editing photos in lightroom. Just downloaded some photoshop presets. Edited some photos using the presets. Now when I go to edit photos using the photos/edit in...all options are greyed out. I've restarted my compute, updated both lightroom and photoshop (I have latest versions) talked online to Adobe support person and did all sorts of "stuff" beyond my level of understanding. Still doesn't work. Sometimes the options are back in black and look like its going to work, but then photoshop doesn't open, and then the options turn to greyed out again. Please help!

I may be preaching to the choir but here are some tips on using PSE from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Why is the Compare Document Feature is greyed out?

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to compare two very similar large documents. I want to use the compare document feature but it is greyed out. What would cause this to happen?
Thanks
Derek L.

Here's what happened and worked for me. My solution, observations and recomendations. I have FCPX 10.0.9
After creating a 2 minute plus video feature , I discovered I could not export (share) the project. The share option was greyed out. Also greyed out was the File> 'Reimport from camera / Archive' option some have suggested as a solution. There were no errors or any indication why this was happening, which is a huge problem with this editing software and I will address that below.
My problem was isolated to exporting (sharing) one timeline (project) so, reinstalling the entire program was not a logical option. This is what I had to do...
I was faced with the prospect of chasing my tail for weeks on end hoping that I could find an answer buried deep within the FCPX manual or online but, what I did instead was, the grueling task of creating a new project and copying clip by clip from the non-share project and pasting each clip into the new project until I found which clip or clips were the problem. Each time I pasted into the new project I would look to see if the 'share' menu was greyed out.
By doing so, I did indeed isolate the bad (?) clip in the new project and what I did in the 'non-share' project was simply reimport that one video clip. Like magic the non-share project was able to export (share). Share menu no longer greyed out.
This taught me a valuable lesson. 1.) FCPX does NOT always give you the ability to isolate a clip it, for whatever reason, does not like. Meaning, you're up the creek without a paddle when export / share time comes. Huge, huge problem that needs to be addressed.
2.) My humble recommendation is to ALWAYS check your 'Share' menu as often as you can tolerate. Specially those of you producing long projects. It's a pain but, if there is just one clip FCPX doesn't like you will NOT be able to export project.
