Airport Icon Greyed Out with Up Arrow Over It

I have a PowerBook Pismo G3 with an original airport card. Worked fine to connect to wifi networks. A grandchild fiddled with the settings in the internet/file sharing/airport/??? panes and now I can't connect wirelessly to anything.
What does the Up Arrow over the Airport icon in the menu bar mean?

Hello MartaGo,
Welcome to the  Discussions!!!
Look in System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet and see if Internet Sharing is on. If it is, turn it off.
The arrow through your Airport Menulet indicates that your Mac is acting as a Software Base Station and is using your Airport card to wirelessly share your internet connection (ala Airport Base Station).
I used my Mac Mini to do this while I was waiting for my Base Station. Worked great for my wife's PB.
Hope This Helps,
Jeff

Airport icon greyed out - Airport card failure?

The Airport icon in the menu bar is "greyed out" implying my computer (iBook Powerbook 4,1) is too far from the wireless base station. However I am typing this question on another iBook that is less than a foot away from the problem machine.
The older computer did not have built in Wireless capability and we purchased and installed an Airport Extreme card. This was maybe ten years ago.
I suspect that the Airport card has simply reached the end of its useful life and is unable to pick up wireless signals but would welcome any thoughts anyone else might have

Airport Icon greyed out after Yosemite upgrade

I just upgraded to Yosemite.
I use my imac 27" as a wireless router in sharing.
Since the upgrade, the airport icon is grey and my mac does not share its internet connection (hardwired via ethernet)
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks
Andrew

Yes sadly that was going to happen as Apple no longer supports iPhoto, instead there was a new app called Photos bundled with the upgrade to 10.10.3.
It is the new colourful icon in your dock and Applications folder and launchpad. click on that and it should automatically migrate your iPhoto photos into the new app.
You could try this first, although I'm not sure this will work as your version of iPhoto was a very old version, 9.4.3 was the most up to date for Lion
and Yosemite was running version 9.6.1. Go to the App Store and click on the purchases tab and see if it is possible to upgrade
your iPhoto app. if you can then great, you can use both Photos and iPhoto.

Ringtones greyed out with sync arrows next to them

I have a ringtone that I have purchased from itunes previously. It shows on itunes in my phones ringtones, but it is greyed out and has the sync arrows next to it.
This ringtone has worked in the past. I have now ticked the box (as some previous posts have advised) and now have a tones tab in my itunes library. I do not have a tones tab on the top of itunes when i have clicked on my phone in side list. Some other posts have said to uncheck and re check sync tones, but i am unable to locate this.
Help.

Here it is again...
Connect the device
On the Tones tab (select your device in iTunes) uncheck Sync Tones
Sync the device
Check Sync Tones
Sync the device

.ipa file will install in iTunes and copy to iPhone or iPad but shows as greyed out with "installing" or "waiting" underneath.

Hey All:
I have an .ipa file that is legit and "signed" (at least I think so) but for some reason will not work on any device. I basically drag the .ipa file into itunes app section and it will show there as a working app.
I select the button that says "install" so that when it syncs it puts it on my ipad or iphone. Once I move over to the iphone or ipad the icon is greyed out with the words waiting or installing under the icon.
Waiting for a half a day at one point before I finally gave up and deleted it from my devices.
Can someone point me in a direction as to what I might be doing wrong? The only thing I can think is that its' not io7.1 compatable but that is all I got.
Thanks
Paul

I am assuming you where generating the .ipa file using a UniversalDistribution Provisioning Profile with an iOS Developer Enterprise Account. If so I had the same problem - turned out it was a Certificate issue - what worked for me was when creating the Certificate which I did manually using Keychain Access I left the Common Name field blank and the .ipa installed properly on my devices. Hope this helps.

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:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
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.

Facetime icon greyed out in contact list

I am runing 10.10.1 for my iMac and have the latest software on my Iphone 6. The contact I would like to use FaceTime is in China and uses a iPhone 5. My computer contact list shows the Facetime icon greyed out. The same contact in my iphone has no indication of a Facetime option. I have checked my settings for both messages and FaceTime. I have used messages to communicate with this person.
Why can I not use FaceTime?
Thanks,
Brad

I would guess that something on your contact's end is the issue - can this person make Facetime calls to anyone?

Songs I recently downloaded are all Greyed out with a grey cloud next to them?

Recently got an iTunes gift card for Christmas and was at my family's house. I went on their iTunes and signed into my Apple ID Account to use my new gift card under my Account. Everything went fine until I went home and opened my iTunes account on my PC Windows Computer. The recently Downloaded songs are ALL Greyed Out with a Cloud next to them? Now I can't play any of these NEW SONGS I just purchased?!?! PLEASE HELP ME!!

I downloaded one of the file explorer programs (iFunbox in my case) for my PC and deleted everything out of the "Purchases" folder on the phone's "Raw File System". After a couple of syncs with iTunes everything was back to normal. It appears that something was screwed up on the iPhone side that iTunes couldn't sort out. I don't think anything could sync from iTunes to the phone, not just the greyed out items.
This is why resetting and restoring the iPhone also works for a lot of people. It's overkill though, deletes your app data, and just wastes your time setting everything back up after the restore. Better to use the surgical approach of a file system explorer program on your PC to fix what appears to be a mundane data corruption issue.

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

IPhoto 9.6 in Yosemite is greyed out with a large X across it?

Hope someone can help me with this problem, iPhoto 9.6 in Yosemite is greyed out with a large X across it? When I try to launch it from the application folder it says I need to download a iPhoto Library Upgrader but when I do that it says it is not needed for this operating system. I have some 5000 photos that now I can't access.
Thank you

Great, that you got iPhoto working again.
Unfortunately I lost a few pics, several hundred possibly. Because I couldn't access iPhoto to back up the library.
To back up your library you do not use iPhoto. Make a copy of the iPhoto library to an external disk or make sure the iPhoto Library is included in your regular backups of your Mac, for example the Time Machine backup.
As to the missing photos - look, if there is a recovered folder somewhere in your iPhoto library. If iPhoto finds photos, that are not in any event, it will collect them in "Recovered" items. And try to sort your events by date. Perhaps your missing events are just sorted in the wrong place.

JButton with Icon greyed out

Hi,
I am writing a minesweeper program and I have a problem with the icons on the JButtons. Initially the button is set with a grey icon to cover the text normally visible on top of it. When the button is pressed two things happen:
- its icon changes
- it is disabled by setEnabled(false).
My problem is that when when I use the setEnabled(false) method the icon is 'greyed' out. Does anyone know of a way round this?
Thanks,
Jolyon

just set the disabledIcon to the desired Icon:
button.setDisabledIcon(Icon icon );
the grayed out one is a default Icon calculated by the button if no disabledIcon is provided.
regards,
stefan
