Connect to MS Office button is Grayed out - for both Office 2010 and Office 2013

Hi
I have recently implemented Sharepoint 2013 Standard for a customer.
I have got everything to work so far except one important thing, from any Ms Word or Ms Excel application save as SharePoint is missing. While having a closer look I noticed that Connect to Office button is grayed out in SharePoint. 
During the initial setup, I created the site collection using Team Site template under collaboration. All researching is pointing me to user profile setup with my site host under enterprise section in site collection. 
I have confirmed that the clients are opening sharepoint from 32bit browser and they have sharepoint handler add on enabled in IE. I have also followed the below guide 
https://mywinsysadm.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/sharepoint-connect-to-office-for-new-document-creation/ 
However, I cant actually see any user profile feature as the guide suggests, I can only see "create personal site" under manage profile service section. 
I have searched & searched and I am not finding any solutions to this problem. 
can someone point me to the right direction please? is it purely because the site collection is not a My site Host?
All I need is for users with Office 2010 or Office 2013 to be able to save a document directly in sharepoint. 
Note - Connect is outlook is working fine though.

Hi jawad,
As navigating to a SharePoint Library and clicking 'Connect to Office', the link to document library is added to
http://[mysites]/_layouts/15/MyQuickLinks.aspx. So, you need to make sure you have your personal site.
After creating your personal site, please visit
http://[mysites]/_layouts/15/MyQuickLinks.aspx, check whether it can open well.
More information about creating MySite, you can refer to:
http://blog.sharedove.com/adisjugo/index.php/2012/07/25/visual-guide-setting-up-my-sites-in-sharepoint-2013/
Then go to IE Options->Programs->manage add-ons, make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enabled.
Here is an article, it may be useful for you:

    Hi lisaarnett111,
    If you are having issues turning on Always Allow for cookies in Safari on your iPad, you may want to check to make sure that you don't have Private Browsing enabled, as noted in the following article:

  • I am trying to install Iphoto on my new MacBook Air adn the install button is grayed out  Any suggestions

    I am trying to install iphoto 09 on my new MacBook Air and the install button is grayed out.  Both for installation and custom install.  Is there a problem that I am not aware of?

    Check for receipts
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Project Server 2013 - Workflow Execution " Submit button is grayed out. "

    Dear All,
    As i was in progress to making workflows in sharepoint designer this is my first project of implementing project server 2013 and executing the workflows,in the continuation of this i followed below mentioned link to go through the process of WORKFLOWS but
    got some issue

    ISSUE: Is that the SUBMIT Button is grayed out after saving initial proposal plan. Snapshot is attached.
    I have checked in/out process along with this gone through re-executed the whole process same result occurred.
    Suggestion/Help needed... 
    REGARDS DANISH DANIE

    Hi Danish, 
    Its a common thing which users are experiencing.
    When you create project from workflow click on Submit it take time for transition before transition it check all the condition which you have set for workflow stage. As per your screenshot it is waiting for details in PDP (Provide details of the proposed project) 
    when you click on submit it push data into the database,sometimes it send e mails to stakeholder then it use exchange and take times to send e-mails and for transition too.
    When you/user face this issue ask them to wait for some time or close the file then reopen. 
    In the screen workflow is waiting for Project detail information in PDP that is why it is still in process and not going to next stage.

  • I have a MacBook Pro. Lately my volume button is grayed out and not working. Any solutions on how to fix this? Thanks.

    I have  an older MacBook Pro (circa 2009). Lately I've noticed my volume button is grayed out and I cannot adjust it. I've tried rebooting. Sometimes it becomes available to use and other times not. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

    Reset the SMC.   Check the Audio Midi Setup utility.  If connected to an external display that has audio, that may have hijacked the audio.

  • I'm having trouble transfering bookmarks from Safari to Firefox. File, "Import" button is grayed out. I've gone through your trouble shooting, the database for imports is no longer current.

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have the latest version of Firefox 5.0. I'm over Apple's Safari, and I'd like to transfer my bookmarks into Firefox. I've gone through your help and support section and found an article that could help me. However, when I click File, the "import" button is grayed out. Which prevents me from importing bookmarks into your browser. So I drug the Firefox icon into the recycle bin, and hit empty trash, then re-downloaded the firefox software from your site, and it seemed to remember my old bookmarks from a year ago. The file, "import" button was still grayed out, so I couldn't update my entire new list of bookmarks onto your web browser.

  • How can I move photos from pictures to my Iomega external hard drive?  I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste them.  The paste button is grayed out.

    How can I move photos from pictures to my external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste the photos.  The paste button is grayed out.

    Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
    Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
    If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact.

  • Help with Sign Document button being grayed out

    I am using Abobe X Pro and I am having an issue with the Sign Document button. When I am signing a document sometimes the 'sign document' button is grayed out. I am still able to use the 'place signature' button and once I click the 'place signature' button then the 'sign document' becomes active again and is no longer grayed out. This happens randomly. Most times I am able to use both the sign document and place signature buttons but randomly the 'sign document' button is grayed out. Even when opening the same exact file sometimes the 'sign document' button is grayed out and sometimes it isn't.
    What could possibly cause this?

    hello gram2many, if you are having problems with the default flash installer, try it with this offline package (direct link to .exe on adobe's server): http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

  • Import button remains grayed out when adding existing folder to LR 4

    Greetings.  I'm following the steps in the following link from Adobe:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSE828B644-9097-46ab-98A7-E2719BBB6647.htm l
    The final step, after selecting the folder I want to add, is to select Import.  Except, the Import button remains grayed out.  I'm not sure what to do in order to select Import and add the folder I already have.
    Thanks,
    Mike H.

    Thank you for the information.  Yes, that seems to make sense based on what I've discovered using LR 4.  Still trying to come up to speed.  Appreciate everyone's help with their tips and insight.

    Folders per se cannot be imported - only pictures (or movies) in a folder can. So, you have to select a folder containing at least one picture or movie (all pictures and movies found are automatically selected when the import dialog opens). This is probably not the case for the folder you want to add, so "no photos found" is displayed in the dialog center and the "Import" button is greyed out.

  • While editing photos in Aperture, I'm trying to make an "auto" adjustment to the exposure but the button is grayed out and consequently doesn't perform any function, please help! Thank you, Mike

    While editing photos in Aperture, I trying to make an "auto" adjustment to the exposure,
    but the "auto" button is grayed out and will not allow any auto function to take place.
    Please help!
    Thank you,
    Mike

    Mike, are you working with raw images?
    For some raw images auto exposure is not available, have a look at this manual page:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=18%26se ction=9%26tasks=true
    Note: Automatic exposure adjustment is available for Aperture-supported RAW images only. If you want to adjust the exposure of another file type, such as JPEG or TIFF, see Working with the Exposure Controls. For a list of supported RAW file types, go to the Apple website at http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs.
