"Contextual Task Bar Currently Unavailable"??

[Sarah Slaughter Art]

I have just downloaded and installed Photoshop Beta on my Mac Pro (2018). As you can see in the screenshot, the "Contextual Task Bar Currently Unavailable". I can't find any solutions online!

Thank you for your help!

Hi @Sarah Slaughter Art do you still have the issue? If so go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply. Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data.

Solved! I updated it and was patient. Thank you, Kevin!

Hi @Sarah Slaughter Art Download the latest beta and see if this solves this. You may have to uninstall the beta first to see the new version available.
Adobe Photoshop Version: 24.6.0 20230603.m.2196 77b00e0 x64

What specific Beta version number did you install? Go to Help menu/System info to determine the version.

Hi @defaultfjbi0iksg9h2 the contextual task bar is only available in 24.6 and later releases. Generative fill is only available in beta 24.7 and up. If your computer does not meet requirements you wont be able to install newer versions. 24.0 does not have either of these options.

I was having the same problem where the bar was greyed out. But upon opening any file in beta, the bar shows up at the bottom of the screen. Yay!
