Classic program installed but grayed out
I am trying to run an old version of Final Draft screenwriting software on a Powerbook G4 with Tiger and thought I could do it in OS 9. The program installs from the cd successfully and a demo version, that cannot save, runs fine. But when I try to open a new file in the program or one of my old files, the application is grayed out in the finder and not available in any menu.
What am I not doing? I'm pretty sure I am in the classic environment when I do this. The software works in Windows XP and used to work in an old Mac. Is the software somehow incompatible with new Macs?

Tried to install eBay app two days ago. Still hasn't installed, is grayed out and says waiting... When I tried to uninstall it shakes, but no X appears. How do I get rid of this app? eBay app was from the App Store.
Try restarting your devise by holding down the power button and the home button. The uninstalled app should disappear after a little while.
Hope this helped -
If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T. When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.
If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected? -
After downloading Yosemite cannot install button displays "Downloaded" but grayed out
Hi,
I have tried downloading Yosemite multiple times, after the 5GB download I dont get the option to "install" i just get "Downloaded" which is grayed out and non clickable.
I am not sure how to procede from there...
Many one had this issue before... using a 2013 retina MBP..
ThanksHave you tried searching for the install file using spotlight or looking in the applications folder? When downloaded it creates and install file called 'INSTALLOSXYOSEMITE' in your applications folder.
Hope this helps -
I am trying to sync my new iPod classic and "Sync" is grayed out
I have tried everything. Updated iTunes, verified my User id and password, nothing is recognizing the "new" used iPod. When I plug it in to the PC, iTunes is not automatically turning on. When I open iTunes, I go to Devcies, but "Sync" is grayed out. Also, the iPod has started to "Connect" to PC and then automatically starts the "OK to Disconnect" without me doing anything at all. I am floored at this point and don't know what else to try. My old iPod was the original Classic from like 2005ish and it's hard drive just went wonky. I never had an issue with it and iTunes at all.
Hello Aerogenous,
I know having a device you can't use can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
Warning: Because restoring erases all the songs and files on iPod, back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see this document for more information.
After you perform the restore, you should attempt to sync your content again. Keep in mind that iPods are meant to sync with one computer and one iTunes library.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Open With Program I Want Grayed Out.
I am a Right Click iMac user and normally I right click on a media file that sits on the desk top I get a selection of what programs I can open the file with.
I like this becuase I don't always want to open it with the default program. The problem is the program I want to open the file with (Open With...) does not pop up on the list so I have to select "Other". Then I get a much bigger list of which is the one I am looking for which is Grayed Out.
I can select "All Applications" and it does un-gray it for this one time, but I wish to add this program as a permanant one that appears on the list without having to select "Others".Hope this helps.
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
I presume you only want certain individual files to be opened by a particular program? e.g. You don't want all .MP4 audio files to open in iTunes for instance...
Seems when you right click on the file and choose "Open With..." "Other..." you select the program you want to open that file with and select the checkbox to "Always open with..."
That file (and only that file) will now be opened by the program you have selected.

IPod Touch 4th Gen - Install icon grayed out in iTunes
I bought a 4th gen iPod Touch for the kids for Christmas. Its running iOS 6.1.5, I loaded it up w/ games for the kids a couple weeks ago with no problems but now when I buy new games through iTunes and try to transfer over via iTunes, the Install button is grayed out in iTunes. The Remove button works just fine so I can take apps off the iPod but can't install any new ones. I also don't have an App Store icon on the iPod Touch any more and I'm 99% sure it used to be there. The apps that are installed still play but the kids are getting tired of the same ones and I obviously didn't pay the money for 2 weeks of use. Any idea what's going on??
Sounds like the Restriction that prevents installing apps is set. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and check/change. It is passcode protected.

I am trying to synch my new iPhone 4s my music library is there but I cannot play a song because it is grayed out. I have tried resynching turning phone off and on no change. How can I get my music library which shows up to play?
You're welcome.
If answers don't come while your question is on the first page or two of questions then the thread is likely to get ignored from there on in. Just reply to yourself with the word "Bump" to bring it back to the top of the stack. Trickier questions can get ignored if those that might have an answer don't happen to visit at the right time, and the problem is worse in the busier forums...

CS3 programs installed but wont open.
Most of my cs3 programs wont open. I am running Windows Vista and have the Adobe CS3 master collection.
It appears as though Bridge is the only one that will open. Photoshop for example, will open the grey background with "file" "tools" etc. but will not go any further.
I have a new HP Pavilion dv5 with 2Ghz core duo, and 2GB ram.
Any help will be appreciated.Help me too!!! I'm having exactly the same problem!!!
I had CS3 installed on my old computer running XP and everything worked fine. Then the motherboard (or something) on that computer fried so I bought a new one that has Vista Home Premium.
I've tried everything I can think of. I loaded it, the repaired it, then uninstalled it and reinstalled it in the "Program Files" directory (before it had been loaded in the "Program Files (x86)" directory) and repaired it in that directory.
I've tried opening every one of the programs, all except Photoshop end up doing nothing. When I look under Task Manager, there is nothing going on the "Applications" tab. But under the "Processes" tab, I see the exe file is loaded and going.
The main program I'm trying to use is AfterEffects - I tried to open it earlier so right now in "Processes" the pogram "AfterFX.exe *32" is loading and running but it's not working!!
It's driving me NUTS! I really have ton of work to do and I'm wayyy behind as it is with the stupid computer croaking. Now I can't even try to catch up because I can't open the program! -

Program installed but SCCM advertisement status of failed
Ok, i have scoured this forum and I have not found a direct answer to what i'm about to ask, so if there is a thread on this, please kindly point me to it.
now then, here's a higher level description of the issue i am having. using SCCM 2007 SP2. I have a package i am pushing out to some workstations in our domain. I have created an advertisement to push out the package. Here's where it gets weird. When
i look at the status of my advertisement, it's showing as failed ( exit code of 2 has returned), however when i check the clients, the application installed successfully. I have checked every log i can think of and i can't find any reason why SCCM is showing
"failed" when in fact the installation succeeded.
anyone have any ideas? I'll provide logs as requested. just let me know which logs.
Thanks for any help you can give!also check this : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/82e8d585-3d7e-4f56-bc74-0c04d912d87e/crm-installed-ok-but-sccm-advertisement-fail?forum=configmgrswdist

Classic is installed but won't open apps
I've confirmed the Classic OS in System preferences. However, when I try to open an OS9 app, it will appear in the OSX Dock, but will not open. I think I may have to reinstall Classic. Any ideas?
Hi, orangekay.
After using Macs for 24 years and hanging around these forums quite regularly for about half that time (since several years before they were called Apple Discussions), I have no clue at all what "See the bless tool's man page" might mean, or how to go about doing so. I suspect that a good many other readers of your post, quite possibly including TokyoMonAmour, will be similarly mystified. Perhaps it would be more helpful just to tell how to re-bless the System Folder.
If an OS 9 or earlier System Folder does not bear the Mac OS smiley-face logo, it is not "blessed". To re-bless the System Folder, open the folder, drag the System file out of it onto the desktop, close the folder, and drag and drop the System file back onto the closed folder. The Mac OS logo should now appear on it.
TokyoMonAmour:
I don't know that re-blessing the SF will be the solution to your problem. If it doesn't help (or if the SF is already blessed), please post back and let us know. -
Restored computer thinks I have programs installed but they aren't
I had to erase my Mac hard drive and restore it from my Time Machine back-up due to problems I was having. Even though I restored it from Time Machine, my adobe Apps were no longer installed on my computer. I am about a week into a one month trial memebership. So I went online and reinstalled the Adobe Application Manager. It is saying my programs are up-to-date, but they're no where to be found on my computer. It wont let me re-download them from the internet either. I think it still thinks they are on my computer.
Does anyone know how I can get these programs back on my computer?
Thanks!
KatieNevermind I fixed it by erasing my hard drive again and restoring to the original operating system without restoring to my Time Machine back-up.
