DMG Won't Mount. File Mount Greyed Out In DU?

Had this problem before.
I can mount the .dmg by double-clicking it but I can't do it in Disk Utility as the Mount command is greyed out.
I believe that last time I was told to hold the Shift or Option key down whilst selecting File>Mount but I can't get it to work this time.

Yes the grey "Mount" changes to "Open".
Last year someone told me how to un-grey the "Mount" in the File menu but I can't remember exactly how or find the original thread.
In those days I was on Leopard so maybe it's changed.
It's not a problem . . . . just one of those irritating little things.

I updated my iPhone and now none of the music on it will play. When I sync, I can change teh music selections on it, but they all won't play and are greyed out. Only the Playlists, Artists, Albums are black font, but all songs are grey and won't play

I recently updated my iPhone 3G to 5.0 (9A334) and it was somehow interrupted during restoration, or at least that is what it tells me. But it keeps making a new restore and adding it to a list, but never gets through without getting interrupted. anyways, I kind of got through all that, but now all the music on the iPhone won't play and is greyed out. I had some APPs greyed out, but they are not as important. Music is a huge investment in my life and this part of it has gone silent. I SYNC with my iMac. Resyncing doesn't help. I can change the selections, but can never get them to play on the iPhone.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

.indd files all greyed out, cannot open from within Indesign CS5

Dear all,
On a iMac g5 i7 with Indesign CS5 (7.0.4).
Since yesterday all .indd files are greyed out when trying to open them from Indesign (command-o).
From Finder they open fine still...
Can't find anything on the web.
Clues?
Thanks,
Dirkjan

Indeed, you clearly need to find the source of the problem.
In my limited experience, this kind of thing happens when some program misbehaves and causes the LS Database to get corrupt. This usually happens as a one-time event, so rebuilding is an easy solution.
In your case, obviously the problem is chronic, so you will need to get to the bottom of it.
There is no reason to assume that InDesign is at fault. I'm afraid I don't have any tips for you. Contact an Apple support path, I guess.

Framemaker 11 and Robohelp 10 licensed versions usedlinking the Frame files is greyed out

Framemaker 11 and Robohelp 10 licensed versions used. Options for linking the Frame files is greyed out. Also, updae book and file options are geryed out. Please assist.

Linking between Fm and Rh is only an option with the full TCS suite, not if you purchase the components separately.
It might be worth speaking to Adobe to see if you can get a deal on upgrading to the suite as you have already purchased two components.

Why is entire file menu greyed out?

Why is entire file menu greyed out?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== not sure

Thanks for the VERY helpful links, the-edmeister!
The FILE Menu was <u>'''''not'''''</u> greyed out in SAFE MODE.
I only had one THEME, the DEFAULT one, which I was using.
I disabled a few ADD-ONS and that solved the problem. They should check them first. I don't have time right now, or I'd do it myself. Later, maybe.
Thanks very much for your help. The only thing better than the FF browser is the community. I've been using only Mozilla since Netscape days.
Down with MicroSoft & Google!

ECL Viewer - Save to local file option grey out

Hello Experts,
We have ECL viewer installed version 5.1.3 with SAP GUI 710 - 7100.2.7.1038.
But, option under viewer --> save to local file is grey out, how to enble this option.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi all,
in case the ECL Viewer is used in the ArchiveLink or GOS area the 'Save to local file' is not available.
Basically it is possible to save the displayed document via the
ECL Viewer menu in a local file. In DMS the users can go via the
ECL Viewer menu 'Viewer -> Save to Local File' and create a local
copy on this PC.
This functionality, however, is not possible if the file is stored
using the ArchiveLink. This is a restriction from the ArchiveLink
application.
If you are willing to do a modification just change the following
coding within the constructor of class CL_DV_VIEWER_CONTROL_ECL.
call method ecl_viewer->create_toolbar
      EXPORTING
*     CLOSE_BUTTON      =
        TOOLS             = 'X'
        VIEWER            = 'X'
        NAVIGATION        = 'X'
        OPTIONS           = 'X'
        VIEWER_OPENFILE   = ' '
*       VIEWER_SAVEFILE   = ' '         "<   delete
        VIEWER_SAVEFILE   = 'X'         "<   insert
        TOOL_MEASUREMENT = ' '
        REMOVE_DOCUMENT   = ' '
        VIEWER_CLOSEFILE = ' '
        TOOL_COMPARE      = 'X'
        TOOL_STAMP        = ' '
If you are not willing to do a modification, it is even possible
to make a copy of the whole class, change the coding within the
copy, and make use of the copy by adding the according entries
in table SDV_VCL_MIME_C (see SAP note 726158).
For further question on this scenario I would kindly ask you to contact
your local consulting organisation because in the standard this
'Save as local file' is not available for ArchiveLink files.
Best regards,
Christoph

When I try to import mov files into iMovie'08 (7.1.4) the files are greyed out. Any suggestions?

When I try to import mov files into iMovie '08 (7.1.4) the files are greyed out. Any suggestions?

Hi Appleman - thanks for your guidance.
OK RealTime Inspector: Dimensions of my clips - as I don't know which bit this is I will list everything under Inspector, including Format:
00117
00117
33.30
Format:MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720 millions
AAC, 2channels, 44100Hz
FPS29.97
Data Size2.57GB
Data Rate 10.20 Mbits/s
Current size 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
And re the types of tracks you mention that iMovie '08 can't import, I don't much about film clips so haven't yet made sense of this, tho I do see that the clips are organised into chapters, so presumably this is 'chapter tracks'?
Thanks - I'll await your further instructions :-)

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ian

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

DMGs Won't Mount!

Hello,
I am downloading iTunes 6 for my PowerMac G4 Cube. The DMG file downloads fine. But it won't mount. When I double click on it to mount it, this comes up:
"The following disk images failed to mount
iTunes6.0_Mac_OSX.dmg - Reason: No mountable file systems.
I have deleted a couple of apps such as Chess, Image Capture and iMovie but I do not believe that this has any effect on this problem.
Thanks!

Hi, the DMG could be corrupted. When it's an extremely large file, sometimes missing a few packets makes the file broken. Have you tried redownloading it several times?

Imported files are greyed out.....help please

Hi,
I have recently got my 1st camera a cannon digital ixus 55..... after taking a short movie with it and eventually being able to import it ( see my recent post in iPhoto) I found that when I opened iMovie the file name is greyed out and I'm unable to use it .
the file type is .AVI ( don't know if this helps)
also wondered if it possible to convert the .AVI file to another type?
I appreciate any help given
kindest ,becca

Hi, thanks for responding to my query.
I heard in another thread it may be because I'm running iMovie 3 , do you think this is possible?
kindest,becca

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.

Binary file is greyed out in Write Measurement File express VI.

I am running labview 8.2 on Fedora 7 Core. I have also installed it on an earlier version of fedora that was in line with the supported red hat distribution. The problem is that when I try to use the Write Measurement File express VI, the binary file option becomes greyed out after the dialog box opens up. It is present for a second but it is impossible to select. When I have tried bringing over a vi written in Windows (where the binary option was available), the option is also disabled. I am trying to avoid writing the file out in lower level code since I want to use the auto file name generation available under the express VI. If any body knows a workaround or has some sample code that writes out a new file for each measurement with the date and time in the filename let me know.
Thanks

Hi Ikiller,
Is this still occurring?
Could you please provide a screen shot to show the behavior?
Thanks!!
