Why won't my after effects work when i have the correct graphics card everything is greyed out

hey everyone I'm new to after effects and it won't work everything is greyed out i can't even start a new project

If the menus are grayed out then you have probably launched the Render Engine and not the App:
From a Mac finder:
On a Windows engine the extension will be exe.

    At startup hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r keys until you see a globe on the screen. Then use disk utility to partition and format the drive HSF+ and then select Reinstall Mac OS X. whatever version of OS X that originally came on your system will be installed and then you can upgrade back to Mavericks.

  • Why is my PDF printing off center when I have the landscape box checked?

    I am having some trouble with printing my pdf's. I have several PDF's that are oriented in landscape orientation. In the past, they printed normally in landscape mode or autoportrait/landscape mode. Now they print fine in autoportrait/landscape mode, but print off center when printed in landscape mode. The reason this is a problem, is I have given instructions to 100's of my buyers for printing in "landscape mode"....have heard from one buyer already today with this printing problem. I  was then able to reproduce the problem on my own printer.  Is this a recent Adobe update and if so will it be fixed any time soon? Or is there something I have unknowingly done to my printer setting and this buyer has done the same? Thank you in advance for your help.

    This is happening when I have the "actual size" box checked  (the scaling box is not checked). Also, the printable area is centered on the page in the original documents. I have printed all of these pdf's in the past with the landscape box checked and have never had this happen.

  • How do I get firefox to display images clearly? I've got Windows 2000 Pro and Firefox 3.6.6. Internet Explorer shows images clearly, so I'm sure I have the correct graphics driver. Do I need a plugin or add-on of some sort? When I go to "updates", it

    When I use Firefox the images and logos don't show up clearly/correctly. I'm using Windows 2000 Pro. and just installed Firefox 3.6.6. I'm sure I have the right graphics driver as I'm able to see the images and logos clearly in Internet Explorer. I only have the "default plugin 1.0.0.15" installed. I'm thinking that I'm missing a plugin or add-on of some sort, but I'm not sure which one(s). When I go to "updates" it says there were no updates available. When I go to "Add-ons" it gives a list of Add-ons but I'm not sure which would help my issue. Any help would be appreciated.:)
    == This happened ==

  • Music and sounds with apps won't work when I have the ringer button turned off on my iPhone 6.

    If I have the ringer shut off using the button on the top left of the iPhone, no sounds or music play for any of my apps. I can still play music and can hear sounds over youtube, but don't get any sounds from any other apps, both apple and 3rd party.

    I have exact same issue.  One thing that kind of made it work was to Go to settings, Cellular, LTE and select data only instead of data+voice and restart the phone.  I don't want to accept that as a solution.  I have a case open with network tech support to troubleshoot, but it can take 3 business days for them to look into it.
    It's not a hardware problem (at least for me).  I got my phone at Best Buy.  I lucked out and they had one more left in stock so they replaced it.  I have same issue with replacement phone.  Issue seems to be with network/line on AT&T end.  It seems that it can make a handshake to acknowledge incoming call, but fails to complete the connection.

  • HT2240 Why do I receive an invalid code when I input the correct code?

    I have purchased QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows and when I place the Registration Code in the registration box, I get an Invalid Code message.  I verified that I am running QuickTime 7.7 and I have made sure that I was putting the code in correctly.  What is the problem?

    Assuming the key was generated properly, it must
    1) be for the proper platform (Mac keys do not work on PCs and PC keys do not work on Macs and
    2) the name entered must be the sames as the one used to putchase the key to include prefix (Mr., Miss, Dr., etc) and/or suffix (Sr., Jr., DDS, etc.) if used.
    In some rare cases, the key sent in your email may be incomplete or incorrect. In most such cases, the key is not posted to you account in the recent purchases area, so it may be a good idea to compare your emailed key with what may or may not be on file in your account area. If just purchased and not posted to your online account, you may have to contact Apple with your purchase information regarding this matter. Also remember that Apple now only keeps a record of your key for a maximum of 18 months, so it is usually a good idea to back this information up to multiple locations such as your hard drive, USB thumb drive, online storage area, etc.

  • Why are messages being marked as junk when I have the addresses in my Contacts list?

    Almost all incoming messages are marked as junk in two of my accounts. I have 3 other mail accounts without this problem and work normally.
    I've added the address to my contacts list and turned off or deleted all junk filters and options. I've rebuilt the Global index and none of this has helped. A few messages have gone directly to my junk folders for these accounts but mostly they stay in the Inbox.
    I'm sure its probably someplace in my profile but I don't know what it could be or how to find out.
    Thunderbird version 24.6.0
    Mac OSX 10.9.4
    Thanks.

    All they seem to do is furnish the software you can download for Windows OS only. I'm using Mac. They may have something that filters their local email accounts but I've never set up the email account I have with them in Thunderbird. I'll check that account and see if there are any filters..
    I have 3 different email accounts set up, two for 2 websites and gmail. One of the website accounts works just fine. The others have the problem.
    Thanks

  • PLEASE HELP! I transfer one of my garageband songs to another ipad using icloud. I see the song shouw up under "My Songs" with a grenn down arrow at the top right hand corner. When I click the green arrow they song becomes greyed out and wont do anything.

    Is the song just taking an extremely long time to download or have I done something wrong?? I have searched everywhere for an answer and cant seem to find it.

    Hi
    I have the same problem too with two songs which are in the same state. Mine happened when I was uploading to iCloud and GarageBand crashed during the upload.
    It's really annoying as these songs were from live instruments plugged into my iPad and I was using iCloud as a backup but now it's lost the entire song.
    I've tried turning off iCloud and getting duplicates of iCloud songs copied to my iPad and then enabling iCloud again and that didn't fix it.
    I'm currently downloading the latest patch release of GarageBand to see whether installing that version (which apparently fixes the problem in the first place) will help my songs magically reappear.
    Feel I have nothing to lose as I can't get to the songs ........

  • HT1222 Why won't my Apple PW work when I'm trying to update iOS? Plz help!

    Hello~
    I am trying to update from iOS 7.1 to iOS 7.1.1.  When I enter my Apple PW, (the PW I used to log on to this site) it says it's invalid. What I'm I missing? I really have no other ideas as to what PW's it could be asking for. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

    Since the update verifies you by your Apple ID, it needs the password that is associated with your apple ID (which may be different from the password you use here with your user name). So, you need to use the password you use to purchase apps, music, etc.

  • Why does my iRadio Station stop working when I move the slider?

    I have chosen to create a station using the station Lindsey Stirling Radio that pops up when you type her name.  This station will play if I simpy create it and play it.  When i click on the little "i" in the circle at the top of the station I get the page that allows you to "Tune This Station".   If I move the slider from "Hits" to "Variety" or "Discovery" the station no longer plays music.  The album picture appears as a station but nothing happens when i tap it.  Anyone have an idea why this would occur?

    tried reset, then a restore and even vacuumed the mic and it still won't work while the speaker is activated
    use of earphones uses mic normally
    is there some echo cancellation circuitry that could have failed?

  • Why did my airplay mirroring stop working when I downloaded the most recent update yesterday?

    Yesterday, I open up my computer and I received a notification.  The notification said new software update, so I up the app store and get my update.  I sit down to work on words with my daughter using the airplay mirroring feature and I am stymied.  It is not popping up in neither my menu bar nor the display tab of system preferences. 

    I just needed a restart of my apple television.  Thanks Apple support . . .

  • Why spark videodisplay control does not work when i run the application?

    Even in the mode design I can not see the video, thks.....

    @Jorge,
    Try using file:/// instead of file:/.
    This seems to work for me:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
            xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
            xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
        <s:VideoDisplay x="159" y="96"
                source="file:///C:/Documents and Settings/pdehaan/My Documents/My Videos/walking.flv"
                loop="true"
                width="384" height="267"/>
    </s:Application>
    But I'd probably recommend copying the .FLV file into your Builder project or putting it online instead of trying to play it back from a hardcoded file:/// path.

  • I tried the free trial version of adobe after effects. When i click the setup button in the adobe cs4 folder, it says you can not finish the installation when adobe media player is running, but i don't have it open i keep trying and the same thing happens

    What do i do

    Actually I simply would uninstall anything related to Adobe AIR, including AMP or the Acrobat.com widget. If you just uninstall AMP, one of ther others is going to bite you in your behind. It's a flwa in the installer that does not correctly detect and handle outdated versions of Adobe AIR.

  • Apple Password doesn't work when it is the correct password

    A few days ago, in the middle of playing music on iTunes, I was no longer able to sign in. When I tried to sign into Apple that day, my password (which I know was correct) didn't work. So I reset my password. Today I tried to sign into Apple with the new password and IT didn't work. I had to reset it again. What is happening? How do I resolve this issue? And please, someone respond. No one responded to my earlier question.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another USB port
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another cable.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
