Hi,
It may pay to send a Screen Shot of the Connection Doctor info. (see the Window Menu)
It would seem the IMAP or POP side is logged in bit the out going STMP server is not.

Stuck with HomeSync icon in top bar

Hi,
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.2 connected to Active Directory in my company. There were home sync feature enabled in active directory, but now it is disabled by AD administrator.
Now I am stuck with homeSync icon (http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/5287/screenshotqj.png) in my top bar and I can't disable it, since I can't get into homeSync preferences from system preferences gui.
I guess I can edit it manualy going into ~/Library/Preferences, but I don't know where I can find setting I am looking for (enabling/disabling homeSync icon in top bar).
Does anyone know where it is?

command+drag the icon off the menu bar.

Why are my header icons and toolbar buttons grayed out?

I purchased a used Macbook Pro from ebay. Appeared to be in good working order when I first started working with it, but I have updated from OS X 10.9.2 to 10.9.5 and downloaded Open Office program, set up my mail and went through the system preferences and personalized it. Also ran disk utilities. Then, this AM, when I restarted, the header icons on the right side are grayed out except for the battery %, the date and time and notifications. Also, in mail and safari, the toolbar buttons are blank (forward, back, print, mail, bookmarks, autofil, history and downloads). What happened? I went to the disk utility from the recovery partition (repaired disk and disk permissions). I also reset parameters. Don't know what to do next. Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but I am assuming it is software (OS X) related at this point. Please help.

Why Do the icons the top bar on my MBP keep disappearing?

The icons on the top bar on my Mid 2010 MBP (OSX 10.10.3) keeps disappearing for no apparent reason. I don't believe it is having any effect on my MBP's Performance, but it is just very annoying.

Genius Icon in Top Bar

I just upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1.11 and I noticed that upon starting it, Genius ran again (presumably to get info from new music I've added since I last ran genius) and then after that I noticed what I think is a new genius icon appear in the top information bar.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows what this new genius icon does?
When I click on the genius icon, it disappears and so does the "select current track" button (left pointing spiral arrow) until I play the song again.

Well then, at some point genius was turned on, then. That's what iTunes creates to store the Genius stuff.
Don't know how much time you want to spend on this, but there are absolutely NO Apple support articles on Genius that I can find....
But if it were my PC, I'd
turn off Genius in iTunes,
closeiTunes,
delete those Genius and Extras ITL files,
re-open iTunes and start Genius again.
That might fix it, but we're flying blind here. An iTunes repair from Control Panel > Add/Remove programs might also fix it.
For goodness' sakes *don't delete* your iTunes Library.itl file. That holds your ratings and playcounts. Just delete the Genius & Extras files.

Can't see apple script icon in top bar

Even though I have moved scripts into the library/itunes/ folder - I still cannot see the script icon.
Does this have anything to do with my iBook G3?
Thanks -

The correct path for iTunes scripts is:
To make them available for all users:
./Library/iTunes/Scripts
For single user:
./Users/YourUsername/Library/iTunes/Scripts
If the subfolder 'Scripts' does not exist, you have to create it.
Hope this helps.

Clicking on TM icon in top bar shows "Latest Backup: ---"

I have setup TM to backup only on demand and I usually take a backup every few days.
Now, when the backup completes, it shows "Latest Backup: ---". This has been going for months. I have all the latest software updates.
Thanks,
Richard

#2 from B3 did the trick...
Cool! And thanks for the star.
I don't backup every hour because it was causing too many problems. I backup to a partition on an external 1TB USB drive and for some reason, between TM and the machine going to sleep after 30 minute of inactivity, the drive would be hung almost every time I would wake up the machine! I gave up and set TM to on-demand.
Try un-checking the +Put the hard disk(s) to sleep . . .+ option in System Preferences > Energy Saver.
Or try the drive maker's web site; some have ways to disable their internal sleep or "spin down" modes; others have posted firmware and/or driver updates that might fix it.
The problem with "on demand" is, if you're anything like me, you'll realize you forgot just after deleting the wrong thing!

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.

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.

GRAYED OUT GMAPS ICON

I added google maps to the home screen before the new release. I cannot delete this icon now - it is grayed out. I tied itunes but gmaps does not show in the apps list. I went to list view and gmaps was not there either. Any ideas?

Solved my own problem. A little more research on this forum (message.jspa?messageID=10637914) showed me that there is a tiny switch inside the headphone port. Pushing a long thin piece of plastic into the port reset the switch and made my external speakers work again.

Adobe Indesign 3 Menu grayed out

All the tools in the menu along the top are grayed out. They are unworkable. Also when I initially open Indesign 3, the title page opens but lacks the green and red button on the upper left corner and seems disabled. I reinstalled Indesign 3 and thought the problems were solved. They were not! Any suggestions? Are the 2 problems connected?

Turn off your connection to the internet, restart ID and in the ensuing dialog, set register to never.
