              Do you see the path outline around the shape? If not, try pressing CTRL H to bring the path back and then try to define the shape.

                  First of all, you maybe should change your nick.

                  Secondly, you're not providing enough information to provide you with help.

                  To define a custom shape, you must draw a fully enclosed path with the pen tool, then "Define custom shape" once it is closed.

                      Yes and it's still greyed out...

                          Okay, did you draw the path in shape mode or path mode? (Is it filled or is it just the path?)

                                  No not here to mock just find it amusing. Was here to help but I don't really fuck around with shapes. Anything that has to do with Shapes gets done in Illustrator and then imported to Photoshop.
