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...

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

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    You can find these steps in this article:

  • 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.

  • 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'

  • Apple id greyed out in itunes

    my apple id is greyed out in itunes on my ipad I noticed this when an app I was trying to download kept saying "waiting" ....I cannot update my apps either as they say waiting.  I can get in my account on itunes on my computer.  This is all since the new os .....I would also like to stop these apps now but can't find a place to do it.

    I have the EXACT same problem since the OS update.   The TV apps I use a LOT tried to update, but are now permanently  stuck on 'waiting.   I cannot use them.  I cannot even delete them, or try to re install.   I have two new apps (which have never fully installed, and now I want to delete)  stuck on 'installing' too.  I cannot delete them, because when you press the icon to make it wiggle, no cross appears. They will not delete in iTunes. And I cannot sign out and re sign in, as my Apple ID is greyed out. 
    Please, someone help!!

  • TS1559 why dont apple fix the porblem of the greyed out wifi and bluetooh glinch.

    Why don't apple fix the greyed out problems

    well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
    then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
    never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!

  • Enrolled Macs' "Sleep" option is greyed out

    Hello,
    As soon as a Mac is enrolled into our OS X Server it becomes unable to "Sleep." The Sleep option under the Apple menu is greyed out and even closing the lid will not put the Mac to sleep. This has been a big issue because it is killing our machines' battery life.
    There are no management settings enabled for any of the Macs, under Profile Manager and they are not in any device groups. There are also no management settings enable for the users of the machines nor are the users in any groups. As soon as they are enrolled, the Sleep option is greyed out and nothing will allow them to sleep.
    This was happening with the Server version right before Version 4. We updated hoping Version 4 would resolve this issue but it did not. All help is greatly appreciated!
    OS X Server Version 4 (14S333)
    Mac Mini Server purchased in mid 2014
    2.6ghz Quad Core i7 Processor
    16gb of RAM

    It appears Apple needs to fix a problem with the "Login Window" Payload in Profile Manager.
    To enable sleep on a mac until the settings are pushed out again use terminal and enter the following:
    sudo pmset -a disablesleep 0
    You will also need to do this if you remove the "Login Window" Payload from the settings you push out, since the mac won't revert to the working settings.
    I notified Apple about this thread.
    PS I was able to manually change the config profile (downloaded from Profile Manager) with text editor to get it working the way I wanted, but I only have one client computer. If you do this, there were 2 entries. I found them by searching the config for "sleep". Change the entries from true to false. You can then install the modified settings profile.
