Entering description of event into iCal, pasted too much text into event, responded with The server responded with an error. Preferences is greyed out, and window pop up comes up every time I open iCal and doesn't go away. Force quit, still opens. Help?
While pasting event description into iCal, accidently pasted too much text, causing "The server responded with an error" pop up. This pop us includes the event description, but because of the mass amount of text, the window shoots off the screen to the bottom, so if there was an exit red "x" available, it isn't visible or accessible. The iCal>preferences is greyed out and I have force quit and it pops up each time I use iCal. Is this even fixable?
I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
Thank you,

HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings
why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings
When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset. -
after updating my ipad some of the apps aren't usable. They are "greyed out" and it says "waiting..." below the app when I tap on it.
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings -

The wi-fi in my iphone 4S is 'greyed out' and i am not able to switch it on. I have tried resetting the network settings but nothing happened. I can't even download the new iOS7 version as it requires WI-FI to do so. Please help.
I had same problem. I removed the back cover, and warmed wi-fi module by hairdryer of my wife). five days wi-fi works great. I do not know what will happen next.
during operation iphone must be turned off. time of heating is near five minutes. wifi module is located upper the battery, on the upper right corner of device. -
Hi, I just got done installing IOS 7 and now whenever I send an i message my email shows up on the other phone. My phone number is greyed out and doen't give me the option to click it. Please help!
Where is the phone number on the iPod?
If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
For some info see:
iOS: About Messages -

Why does the spinning wheel come up every time I open an application
Every time I open an application, I get the "spinning wheel" for an extended period of time. This is a VERY FAST computer and this slows me down terribly.
For instance: I just opened iTunes to sync my iPhone. When I opened the software I got the wheel, when I tried to select my iPhone, and yet again when I tried to hit the "sync" button. This is more than is typical, but it happens EVERY TIME I open EVERY application.You need to check the software you run.
Some officially supported and sold Mac versions of software use Wine for porting in some fashion or another. If some program you are running is spawning these Wine processes, its probably buggy and not shutting down correctly.
How to figure out which are Wine and which are not...?
Well if its a Cider ported game, you just see if there is a Cider logo on the game.
If its Wineskin ported, theres no super easy way to tell, depending on how much its been modified, but you can look inside the app (right click and "Show Package Contents") and go to Contents/MacOS and see if Wineskin executable is in there. Unless its a very old version of Wineskin it shouldn't be able to hang like that without major issues int he Windows software running in it, and I don't know any any company would release it if it was that buggy.
If its WineBottler Ported, you'll notice quickly because it launches X11 and runs the windows under X11... of course not all X11 apps are Wine, but if you have a program that launches and runs in X11.app then you can look inside it at Contents/MacOS to see if its Wine related.
It could also be Crossover, or a Crossover port of software... you'd have to dig around inside of its app too to see if it looked like one of those. -
How come when every time i open ff i have the same 2 tabs instead of the one I choosed in my options
'''''texte en gras'''''
in "option internet" & "general" & i chose "new tab" for my home page, but every time i open firefox i have two tabs that loads, one is the tab i asked for, but another one creep in there, it is an old web page where i downloaded something from there after installing firefox, i don't know if it is because i went to that site right after dowloading firefox 6.0 it is like the web page stuck there with my home page and i tried everything but nothing works...
please forgive my english, i am not bilingual yet...thank youAnother user had a second tab opening and it was caused by one of his extensions.
You can check for nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the Add-ons page and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that get rid of the extra tab? -
Every time I open my Mac, I photo comes up automatically, I do not want this..... I want to open it manually. Any suggestions
Could be many things
Some details on your system would help
Some possible things - in the system preferences iPhoto oculd be set as a start up program
If you click and hold on iPhoto inthe dock chect to see if it is set as a start up item
Do you have any FAT formatted storage devices on your system (if you do they will cause iPhoto to launch - to stop in the iPhoto preferences set the action when a camera is connected to do nothing)

wi-fi button on 4S has greyed out and cant turn on wi-fi , any suggestions please ?
First try a simple reset by holding down the home and power button for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple, then let the device start normally. If issues still persist, you will need to restore and update the iPhone from iTunes on your pc or mac. If after the restore still grey your device may need service or replacement.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix a System Prefrences problem? Every time I try to open system prefrences I get that little color wheel over the System Prefrences window, and I am not able to change any system prefrence options or click on any options in the window. It just freezes up. I have iOS Lion 10.7.4 version on a 2012 Macbook Pro i7. Right now my screen saver is just a blank blue color, and I am unable to set any other photo from my photo library to the hpome screen picture even without going throiugh system prefrnces. I have tried Disk Utility>Verify Disk Permissions, and that did not work. I have also tried Disk Utility>Permissions Repair, and that did not work either. Can anyone tell me another option to try because I am unable to open Time Machine to repair to an earlier date because that window freezes up also. Does anyone know any other options? This Macbook Has been doing this sort of thing since I took it out of the box brand new 4 months ago, but it fixted itself before the Macbook help coverage was expired so I never bothered to call Apple about it. Now it just freezes up and never works, I can't change my system time out I cant change any system prefrences on my Macbook Pro. It really ***** bad. Also another symptom my macbook has right before this problem accours is my screen saver on my computer will automatically be swithched to that Galaxy screen saver all the sudden when I turn my computer on then when I go to change the screen save back to a picture I had on my computer the system prefrences just freeze up. Please let me know if you know what I can do. Thanks.
Also I am Unable to open Dock Preferences and i get the frozen screen color wheel Just like on System Preferences.
