Apple id is greyed out on iMac and I cant sign out

I've recently chnaged my primary email address but my mac is still signed in on the old one. How can I update apps?

Hi sstuls1,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to change the iCloud account on your iPad, you can delete it from the iCloud settings page. This will remove all iCloud data from your iPad, and will allow you to sign in with another Apple ID (iCloud account). Use these steps to make this change:
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

Assuming this is an iCloud mail account, sign out of iCloud in its preference pane, then sign back in with the new password.

Apple ID is greyed out

Cannot change Apple ID password as Apple ID is greyed out. how do I fix this

Hi Winston, this has not solved my problem (yes I'm having the same problem). I just did a factory reset on the Apple TV and was then finally able to play purchased movies after singing back into my Apple ID, but now the Apple ID is greyed out and won't let me sign out to put anyone else's Apple ID or to sign out in general. Most up to date firmware and everything...

After installing mavericks apple id is greyed out in app store when trying to update iPhoto

after installing mavericks apple id is greyed out in app store when trying to update iPhoto. How to update iphoto?

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

I changed my apple ID = however my old Apple ID is appearing on my devices and I cannot sign in

I changed my apple ID = however my old Apple ID is appearing on my devices and I cannot sign in to my new apple id How do I change this?

Hi Douglas,
If any of your devices were signed in after you have made the change then you will need to temporarily change your Apple ID back to what it originally was. Once you have gone back, you will be able to sign out of any account and then change the Apple ID back to what you want it to be. Then just sign in and you will be good to go. For more information take a look at the article below.

My mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

my mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

Apple loops are greyed out

okay first off, if you try to give me a link to other FAQs it will not help as i have searched them already, only to find that they have helped me not in the least...
here is my problem
1. i make a new project 2. i go to the show loops in browser 3. when i go to the browser where the loops are they are there but greyed out 4. when i try to click on them it says "The Software instrument or Apple Loop selected is not currenlty installed on your computer. Would you like to install the complete set of GarageBand instruments and loops?" 5. i click yes to download now 6. it check for updates and then says your software is up to date 7. i try again and still the loops are greyed out.
at this point i am extremely mad and decided to look online for help
i followed some FAQs and decided to locate my loops folder which low and behold
EXISTS!! i decide to play the loops in quicktime and turns out they are working fine all 501 of them.
So why the DARN doesnt garageband recognize that these loops are installed and on mymac?
Please help

no man!! did you even read my post i said dont give me links!!!
i have been to that site and nothing in there helped me
unless i just dont know where to look, if so then do tell me...
although i am starting to believe you are a bot
which would be very lame

Apple TV1 has Greyed Out items in Movies programme tab

I have two first generation Apple TV's on the same iTunes account and Wifi Network.
Some of the items in the Movies tab are shown Greyed out even though they are selected (box ticked) they are therefore present on the Apple TV. However these items cannot be De-selected (to remove them from) Apple TV to allow alternative selection to be made.
The items are all selected in the Movies List in iTunes. There does not appear to be any link with the original source (either purchased from App store or captured from EyeTV) items of both types appear affected.
Any suggestions how this can be solved?

I finnally figured this out.
The greyed out items are selected by the initial selection:
In Movies tab this is as follows:
☑ Automatically include 〖 5 most recent ⇕ 〗 movies along with selected movies.
Similar range selections have the same effect with the other media tabs: TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U and Photos.
The only way these selections are added or removed is with this range selection.
I couldn't find this documented anywhere, unless someone else can provide a link.

A friend of mine said i can install it(apple loops utility) from my apple os installations disk but when i load up the install disk i can fing it on the disk anywhere. what can i do?
MAC BOOK 1.2G RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Its not in the Logic download from the app store, I'm afraid, this is a similar discussion that you may find helpful - bit of a muddle in communications, perhaps, but, anyway you can get Apple Loops Utility if you really need it -

Apple File Settings "Greyed" out?

I'm trying to access the Apple File Setting pane of a folder that is shared through my workgroup manager however all the settings have been greyed out. Specifically I want to toggle the option of Inherit permissions from parent as opposed to the current setting "Use standard POSIX behaviour". Must be something simple, any ideas?

If ACLs are enabled for the volume ("drive") that houses the sharepoint(s) in question, then the AFP inherit-permissions option is not available by design.
Even if you're not using ACLs yet, if they're enabled for the drive, then the AFP option in question is unavailable.
Check in Workgroup Manager (changing to view drives instead of sharepoints)
if ACLs are enabled.

HT1320 How do I set iphone bluetooth feature after the Apple 7 update greyed out the feature, no functionality

Suggestions to reset iphone 4s bluetooth feature (latest Apple update deactivated the option).

When you access a web page, the browser will identify itself to the server as either the desktop or the mobile version and the server will send the appropriate page to the end device. In the case of the iPhone, Safari identifies itself as Mobile Safari, hence the mobile pages. This is very annoying and cannot be changed.
However, there are third-party browsers which could be set up to identify themselves as desktop browsers. I use the Atomic Web Browser which is fantastic as it has many improved features compared to Mobile Safari. Download it from the AppStore and, in the Settings menu, make it identify as Safari Desktop. It's that simple.
