Camera icon grayed out in iMessages on iPad

can not get camera icon in iMessages to work on iPad

Make sure that MMS is turned on in settings and your account with the carrier is provisioned for MMS. If it is, then try a reset on the iPhone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. That will restart the phone. See if it is there after that.

  • Face time, camera icons wiped out of my ipad. I was watching while it was happening

    Face time, camera icons wiped out of my ipad. I was watching while it was happening..

    That's hard to explain but I would check Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime (and camera) and see if they are set to "off". If they are set to off, turn them on again.

    It means it's damaged or somehow incompatible with your current configuration. Reinstall it.

  • File icons grayed out

    I installed Leopard and when I go to folders with MS Word and Adobe Reader icons they show up for a second or so in their normal icons and then the icons gray out. I called Tech Support and did Disk Utility Repair and an Archive and Install, didn't help.
    Any suggestions?

    I got the answer in the Logic Pro forum.

    I am not sure but unless the item is not phrased as a question, or does not have question in the Content it doesn not become active. I have seen this several times.  And its always appeared for me when the person was just declaring a statement. and not asking anything.

  • Creative Cloud icon grayed out in menu bar.

    Creative Cloud icon grayed out in menu bar.
    Pulldown shows no apps or updates at all.
    Have restarted a few times.
    I did recently restore my system from a Time Machine backup.
    Any help?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Abstract Truth,
    I would recommend trying to uninstall and reinstall the Creative Cloud app, I suspect the Time Machine backup may have somehow affected the installation.
    Quit the Creative Cloud app, run the uninstaller in the Creative Cloud folder in Applications, and then reinstall it from Download Center at https://creative.adobe.com/products
    Hope that helps,

  • Why is Messages screen sharing icon grayed out?

    Trying to do remote screen sharing with my mom's Mac using the new feature in Yosemite.
    If you're not familiar with it, the new method does not require AIM, Jabber, etc and is independent of screen sharing settings in System Preferences (per Messages Help).
    The procedure is:
    In the main Messages window, select the name of the person you want to share with or, if you haven't previously exchanged messages, do so now.
    Click 'details' on the right of the top bar of the main window.
    In the menu that pops up, there are three icons: screen sharing, video chat, and audio chat/phone call. Click the screen sharing icon and send a request.
    Today, my mom signed into her Messages account and we successfully exchanged iMessage messages (not SMS).
    When I clicked 'details' the screen sharing and phone call icons were grayed out (or, more accurately, 'blued out' - they were a fainter shade of blue).
    I clicked another name in the Conversations list and then clicked back to my mom's name. When I clicked 'details' this time, the screen sharing icon was no longer grayed out, so I sent a request to share her screen. She didn't receive the request, so I canceled it.
    When I clicked on 'Details' again, the screen sharing icon was grayed out again. As far as I know, nothing had changed on my mom's end.
    What could cause the screen sharing icon to be grayed out? And what could cause it to toggle back and forth between grayed out and normal?
    Both computers are running the latest version of Yosemite, 10.10.3. Mine is a 2009 Mac Pro 8-core with 16 GB RAM, hers is a MacBook Pro from around 2012 or 2013.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    (He did say that he'd heard that due to changes in Google's system that their accounts no longer work with Messages.)
    What he has heard and what are true are two different things
    Logged in Google account
    There are issues with Messages using SSL to login to the Google Talk server and Google saying SSL is Less Secure (there is a  setting to Enable Less Secure apps like Mail that also uses SSL and Messages).
    Some people find that 2 step Verification cannot be set at Google's Account settings if your want to use the Less Secure Apps setting.
    1. I deleted my AIM account from Messages and had my mom do the same. The result is that we each only have two items in the Accounts window of Messages: an iMessage account (signed in with our Apple IDs) and a Bonjour account.
    2. Clicking on the Details menu, the screen sharing icon was available for both of us. It was not grayed out.
    This is using two different Methods of Screen Sharing in Messages (It is silly it has two but there we go)
    For AIM use the Buddy List and the icons at the bottom or highlight the Buddy and use the Buddies Menu
    DO NOT USE the Details option.
    For iMessages start text chat then use the Detail Option an NOT THE BUDDIES Menu.
    For the iMessages Method you have to Enable System Preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing to allow the App to be Invoked.
    (It is like FaceTime is invoked but only works to Macs)
    As you mention the Connection Doctor only refers to the older "iChat Method for Aim and Jabber and Bonjour - if you can Video you should be able to Screen Share with that method.

  • Built in iSight Camera - Video Grayed out

    Just got a brand new smokin' iMac yesterday but I'm having trouble with the iSight camera that is built in. The video I see is all grayed out. Help!
    Bonnie

    Check if you can see the lens, it might still be covered. The iSight is placed in the middle on top of your screen. Make sure the iSight has a clear view.
    If you have iChat already up and running click on the camera icon next to your name in the buddy list.
    Have a look at [this|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1462] brief tutorial that explains how you can use your iSight.

  • Wi-Fi icon grayed out "No Wi-Fi"

    I just got my 16gb Iphone 4. I set up my Wi-Fi and used it for a while. Then I noticed the next day that my connection had switched to 3G and when I went back into settings the Wi-Fi icon was grayed out (cannot click on it) with the message "No Wi-Fi".
    In Settings > General > About: Wi-Fi address comes up as "N/A". I have tried to Reset Network Settings, Restart the phone several times and also do a 'soft' reset by holding down the power key and the menu button together.
    Nothing seems to work however. Any ideas?

    Follow the steps and action outlined by Apple here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559.
    Note that repair of your iPhone might be required.

  • Icons grayed out in SAP R/3 GUI iview

    The problem is when some people run the SAP R/3 GUI iview from EP5 and EP6,
    some of the icons are grayed out, such as the "create new session" icon,
    although you can create a new session from the system menu.  When I run the
    iview, I see all icons as active, none are grayed out.  Why the difference
    and what can I change so that all icons are active (not grayed out)for all people?

    Hi,
    I too have the same issue even with EP 7.0. Is there any solution or patch available for this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Aperture Import destination grayed out when importing from iPad

    I'm trying to import a bunch of photos from my iPad. I want to dump them all in one project in Aperture, but after selecting the iPad from the import source list, it grays out the options to select the destination. It also grays out the option to uncheck the Autosplit events. I do not want to do this import and then have to go back and merge 20 projects.  Any ideas?

    It' how Aperture works with the iPad see Aperture 3: Photos are not split into projects by date when importing from iPad as well as other threads here asking similar questions
