10.9.4 no folder background change, its greyed out

10.9.4 no folder background change, its greyed out since I updated. both computers i can't change the folder back ground color
Thank You
Dick

I figured it out. Under the folder actions/arange by: I changed to NONE and this allowed me to change the background color. It appeared after I did the update the Arange BY was changed.
I personally don't care for the white backround and a light grey is easier on the eyes. I wish that the background color be change dglobally for all folders no matter what the arange would be. Te ac only allows this on folders with icons.
Thank you for the response.

  • Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

    Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

    You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
    You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
    I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
    Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.

    PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

  • Imessage on Mac has my wifes phone number and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number (on the beta version of iMessage for the mac)

    hey-- so iMessage on ONE computer has my wifes phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number.  any ideas?  ive done what people have suggested on these forums, e.g., check your apple id make sure your number is associated with it etc.  how do i change the iMessage number from my wifes to my actual number?  thanks!

    HI,
    This can depend on the the Apple ID that is used.
    I was under the impression that the invididual parts of an iCloud ID could be "registered" separately for iMessages but this may not be correct.
    I have an Apple ID that is based on a email from a source external to Apple. (an old Dial-up account email)
    I registered this for iCloud and at the time got an @me.com name as well.
    I also have two iPhones so I decided to use the @me.com name on one iPhone and the older Dial-up on the other.
    This seemed to work up to the OS X10.8.2 and iOS 6 updates.
    AT this points I did the OS X one first then the iPhones
    I got alerts in Messages on the Mac to add the Dial-up ID iPhone's number to Messages which I accepted.
    The Messages Menu > Accounts > iMessages showed the iPhone Number as an alternative Receive ID and offered itself in the Drop as the Send from ID.
    I then set up the second iPhone and got an alert in Messages to add the Apple ID and the iPhone number to Messages.
    I said no to this.
    At iOS 6 this did not get added to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessage panel.
    However at iOS 6.0.2 the iPhones are showing their own Numbers as Greyed out  and even though I refused again the @me.com ID and second iPhone's Number they have been added to the Message Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages pane although they are not ticked.
    The only link these two Apple ID Names have is that they are both associated with the iCloud Account.
    (I Can log in to the same iTunes account with either name, and post here, and access iCloud in a web browser - the password is the same).
    I have successfully managed to get one iPhone to have it's greyed out Number ticked so it can accept iMessages sent to the Number.
    This involved removing the Apple ID on that iPhone, Closing iMessages, restarting iMessages and then re-adding the Apple ID
    I did get an alert to say the ID  would not work anywhere in iMessages when removing it.
    It was 24 hours before I got an alert in Messages again to add the iPhone Number and Apple ID (I said no and they are not active but do show in the iMessage account on the Mac)
    I am a little confused by this bit:-
    ...ONE computer has my wife's phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out ...
    I can see the iPhone Numbers in Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts >iMessages Account pane but they are not greyed out even when not active
    They are only greyed out on the iPhone's themselves.
    I would also make sure the Apple IDs used on each computer and it's related iPhone are separate from each other.

  • How can i use perspective warp in trial version. its greyed out

    i have downloaded trial version to try handson Perspective warp feature but its greyed out. how can i use it?

    Puppet Warp, Transform>Perspective, Transform>Warp etc. can work without GPU acceleration (Test by CS6).
    But it is necessary to unlock the background layer (double click in the layer panel converts the background
    layer into an unlocked Layer0).

  • Speed change stays greyed out.

    NO matter if I bring in a .wav or .aif, the speed change stays greyed out. How do I get that active to change the speed?

    If you just change the static speed, the audio also changes speed. If you use the time remapping speed keyframes, it unlocks the audio; the audio does not change speed. If you are doing variable speed, it is common that the native audio track is not used.

  • Music wont play on my phone it says its there but its greyed out and wont play what do i do?

    Music wont play on my phone it says its there but its greyed out and wont play what do i do? Ive already re downloaded the music but its not playing on my iphone.

    Ok i think i have found out how to do it. Unplug your i phone, go to settings and then reset then reset all data and settings. This will warn you that it is going to erase eveything on your phone.
    DO NOT BACK UP BEFORE HAND
    then restart your phone and restore back up from when you donwloaded the new IOS5. This should sort out your problem :-)

  • HT5621 I have changed my apple ID....now how do I change the apple ID on my Ipad that it wants to use for login...its greyed out so impossible to change..

    I have changed my Apple ID...now how do I change the default apple ID on my Ipad....the apple ID is greyed out so cant change it...

    Tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'sign out' on the popup and then log back in with the updated version - if that is also greyed out then check to see if you currently have Settings > General > Restrictions > Accounts (under the 'allow changes' heading) set to 'Don't Allow Changes'

  • My imessage is hooked up to my email and not my phone number.  I delete my phone number and are unable to click on my phone number because its greyed out.  PLEASE HELP ME

    my imessage is hooked up to my email and not my phone number.   i deleted my email and am unable to click on my number because its blacked out.  WHAT DO I DO?

    But my whole issue is that I can't get on my moms phone to turn it off. I'm asking even if I make a new Apple ID and under send and receive click on these two options,
    send and receive messages at:
    -248-25x-xxxx(my number)
    [email protected](new Apple ID I made)
    will my messages still be sent to my moms phone even though I'm using a different Apple ID.  because on hers, it has her number, my number and her Apple ID  all turned on. If I'm not making sense I'll try and explain better. But currently her send and receive looks like this:
    send and receive messages at:
    -248-79x-xxxx(her number)
    -248-25x-xxxx

  • My phone goes silent mid song, the song shows its still playing but no sound. if I try to turn up the volume its greyed out

    My phone goes silent mid song. It shows the song is still playing but no sound. If I try to turn the volume up its grayed out...how do I fix this?

    try doing a soft reset. push and hold the home button and power button at the same time until the phone powers off completely. only release the buttons when you see the white apple pop back up on the screen if this doesn't work you will likely have to do a complete factory reset which can be found in general settings of the phone. hope this helps!

  • Cannot select Product Version. Its greyed out ???

    Hi All,
           I have configured maitenance ooptimizer in sol man 4.0. but when i tried clicking the "Maintenance Optimizer" button under the "Change Management" -> "Support Package Stacks", I see every selection greyed out. I am not able to select any option (i.e Product Version, Priority, Short Text, and even the Back and Continue buttons are also greyed out).

        I feel still there's some sort of authorization missing but not sure whats that.
       Can someone please reply to help me with this...

  • Incoming mail server has changed, but greyed out in Mail, can't be corrected

    The incoming mail server for my website's email account has changed, but the incoming server box is greyed out and doesn't allow me to change it to the correct one.  I do not want to delete the account and start again because all mail and contacts associated with the account will be lost.  So far all the suggestions regarding greyed out incoming server boxes have to do with iCloud but while i use iCloud, I don't use it for mail or have an @iCloud email address.  They also involve starting from scratch with Mail, which would be a huge problem for me trying to save all my emails and reconstruct my mailboxes.
    What gives with this issue? a lot of people seemed to have it, though I saw no responses later than 2012.  Unlike other people, I can still get my mail, but the server certificate always comes up invalid.  I can tell Mail to trust it, but This greyed out thing is certainly a bug or unintended consequence.  I want to be able to change that field.

    Sorry, Guess I solved my own problem anyway.  Perhaps this will help others.  I unchecked "automatically detects and maintain account settings", closed and saved the mail preferences window ( I had also updated my outgoing server info which was not greyed out )  I closed Mail and when I reopened it, the incoming server was no longer greyed out and I could change it which I did.  I may recheck the auto detect box once I have ensured that the port settings are all correct.
