Red, Yellow and Green button are grey. "Show All" button disappears

I'm having two issues that I can not figure out.
First the red, yellow and green buttons are grey not colored. They still work but they do not show the correct color.
The second problem is that the "Show All" button in system preferences is not visible until I float over the are where it should be. The button still works but is not visible.
I can not figure out what happened or if the two situations are related.
Any thoughts?

Not sure on your other issue yet, but here's a suggestion for those buttons.
Open System Preferences and click the Appearance option. Is it set to Graphite? Switch to Blue.
I'll see if I can find a solution for your other problem as well!
Edit: Can't hurt to try removing the preferences file and see if that fixes things.
Click *Macintosh HD*, then Users> Library> Preferences. Delete--or move to the desktop--the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file. Restart your computer. Any changes?
Try another user account as well to see if the button reappears.

Hello i have somehow lost the red yellow and green indicators are the top of safari

Hello I have somehow lost the red,yellow & green indicators in the top right screen in safari and also have lost the "goole glass" search in the top right hand corner of safar. Help?

I suspect you have turned on the Full Screen mode. Move your mouse to the top of the screen, click the View menu and choose Exit Full Screen.

I lost the round red, yellow, and green buttons in Safari. How do I get them back?

I lost the round red, yellow, and green buttons in the upper left hand corner in Safari. Does anyone know how to get them back?

Has Safari taken up the entire screen? If so, then that's 'Full Screen Mode', which you can toggle on or off with Control+Command+F.

Mail window may be in the Full Screen mode.
Move the mouse pointer to the top right corner of the Mail window and hold it there.
Menu bar should drop down and click the blue double arrow icon.
Full Screen toggle shortcut: control + command + F

Why when I fully expand the screen contents do I lose the red,yellow,and green options at the top left

why when i fully expand my screen contents do i lose the red, yellow, and green buttons at the top left used to close, expand, and minimize

That's just the way it is in full screen mode. You need to come out of FS to see the dots again.

The back and forward arrows are greyed out all the time - How can I fix this?

I am currently using firefox ver 21. However the forward and back buttons are greyed out and will not work. I would be happy to re-install the program but how do I re-install without losing all my bookmarks and settings.
Please advise.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

You may have to try a general OS X troubleshooting process to see if the issue goes away by doing this...
Have you tried: starting the computer in SafeBoot mode, with shift key held down; a login screen should appear after a time, and then the regular desktop. At this point, locate Disk Utility in utilities folder, and run 'repair disk permissions' on the startup volume, usually the name given the hard disk drive as it appears on desktop. After Disk Utility is finished the permissions repair, restart the computer normally.
...The iTunes player has free support only through the duration of the hardware product's complementary or AppleCare extended plan coverages, so though you can download a newer version, that is not the same as free support for an issue. However, the iTunes Store or App Store has a different factor for their product.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
There is an iTunes area in Apple Support Community discussions for more topics like this; except for when they involve a hardware product where an OS X is involved. If your computer is NOT a powerPC (an 'intel'-mac) the topic would more naturally need to be posted where that hardware and later supported OS X version topics get seen. So that is why one asks 'on what Mac running what version...' instead of writing four paragraphs in a wide angle reply. The details about your iMac and the OS X say more; without them, more questions arise.
Good luck & happy computing!

What is the keyboard command to restore red, yellow and green buttons to Safari? Thanks, Richard

Will deleting mail accounts on one laptop delete them from another laptop on the same network? Both laptops are also connected to iCloud. Thanks, Richard

No

No red, yellow or green buttons (close, minimise, maximise) in iTunes 10.4?

I've just downloaded iTunes 10.4 for mac and the red, yellow and green buttons (close, minimise, maximise) that sit in the top left corner are no longer there. It also looks like part of the top of iTunes has been cut off. Is this the norm now? How do I get them back?

It sounds to me like the iTunes toolbar is up under the Mac OS X menu bar. Try selecting the "Close Window" command from the File menu in ITunes, then open a new window by choosing "iTunes" under the Windows menu. If that doesn't fix the problem, try changing the resolution of your Mac's screen (Displays system preference) to a lower resolution, then back. That may get the iTunes window to reappear.
If not, open the Script Editor application, paste in the following text and click the "Run" button:
tell application "Finder"
set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
set margins to {d1 + 10, d2 + 54, d3 - 10, d4 - 148}
set bounds of window 1 to margins
end tell
That should restore the window properly, though I haven't tried that script with recent versions of Mac OS X.
Hope this helps.

The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

Upon starting up my mini mac for the first time I see the welcome screen but the 'go back' and'continue' buttons are greyed out so I cant continue.

As the title states everytime I boot up my mini mac the 'go back' and 'continue' buttons are greyed out and I cannot continue with the installation. I even went out and bought an external cd drive to try and load the operating system and that did not work either.

Hi, what OS version is it? And which year Mini?

Get and Put options are greyed out in DW CS4

I am a fairly green Dreamweaver user, and recently (finally) upgraded from MX4 to CS4. I am trying to get a file from my local c:drive and both the get and put functions are greyed out. Any idea how to enable these functions? I do not have the file that I wish to transfer open.

When you say you are trying to get a file from your local c:drive, dio you mean that you are trying to import a file into your site from elsewhere on your computer, rather than 'getting' it from your remote server. If you are trying to import a file from your local c:drive don't use the 'get' or 'put' buttons because they are just for remote connections, instead just use windows explorer to locate the file then either copy or cut and paste the file into the folder for your site.

ITunes will not install any (downloaded) apps: the install buttons are grey.

I have installed iTunes 12.0.1.26 on my (up-to-date) Windows 7 64 bit machine. I have successfully downloaded several apps from the app store. Now I would really like to install those apps on my iPhone 4s iOS 8.1.2, but iTunes wil not allow me to do so (nor on my iPod). It recognizes my iPhone, it shows me my apps, but the 'install' buttons are grey (i.e. they are not clickable). I have authorized my computer and installed iTunes as an administrator.
I searched this site and found a solution to a similar problem, but unfortunately that solution will not work here. The solution was to double click on one of the apps in 'my apps' and then authorize my computer, but when I double click on an app nothing happens at all. Well, it gets selected (blue), but that is all. So iTunes just isn't working properly, but I don't know how to correct it.
I really hope to get some help with this problem. Thanks in advance!

Ah, not sure what I was thinking at time.
You may want to try some of the troubleshooting steps in iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases. It may help to deauthorize and then reauthorize the computer. I suspect the double-click the app advice doesn't work with iTunes 12. Nothing interesting happened when I tried. If you have any protected media it might be worth confirming that it will play.
Is this a new library with respect to the device? If so see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Welcome Joe -
PC or Mac?
Back and forward buttons on a window listng the files in it, will only work if you open a file within the folder.
If you simply open your folder, there nothing to go "back" to.
