Documents greyed out in Java app

I have reinstalled Yosemite and Java 8. Then I have installed CafeTran, a Java app. I have installed Dropbox and waited until all my files and folders were synced. I've set all permissions to the Dropbox folder where I save my CafeTran files to Read & Write. I've lowered my rights to Standard, rebooted, changed back to Admin, rebooted.
The problem that I'm dealing with, is that I can select folders with documents (e.g. DOCX) via the Project Location... button, but no individual documents via the Documents... button: they are all greyed out. Furthermore: the File Chooser dialogue box shows .DS_Store files that I don't see in any other File dialogue box.
When I open the CafeTran folders in my Dropbox via the Finder, I can see that no Word 2011 icon is visible for them. However, when I double click on a DOCX file, Word is launched. I've also Assigned DOCX to Word a couple of times. To make it even more complex: the problem doesn't exist on my MacBook Pro – same OS X and Java version.
My question: How can I make CafeTran open DOCX files (apart from the work around of loading a whole folder with several DOCX files)?

  • Scanned [PDF] Document Greyed Out

    Hello:
    I have a Windows 7 Professional [SP1] (64)-bit computer running Acrobat v9.5.x that is having problems scanning in documents from a HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP 425dn all-in-one, as PDFs, using the native HP scanning software that came with the device.
    Scanned documents are "greyed out" when viewed in Acrobat, however, when these same documents are printed our or sent via e-mail [as attachments] they are displayed properly in Acrobat.
    An additional oddity, is that on the same computer under a different user profile, the same scanned document is displayed properly in Acrobat.
    While I realize that this could be a scanner [scanner software] issue, it seems likely that it may have something to do with the users [profile specific] Acrobat settings, so I'm wondering if there are some things I could check or if there is a way to remove this persons Acrobat settings, so they can be recreated.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • Default account option is greyed out in Notes app

    I'm running the latest version of yosemite.  I have 3 different accounts - an iCloud - a gmail - and an exchange account.  In previous version of OS X - if I recall correctly - I could select the "default account" in the notes app.  However, that option is greyed out now.  This is a problem - because without being able to set the default account - it creates notes under the top listed account in the app - or whichever account is highlighted. 
    Any idea how to rebuild / fix this issue?  I've tried deleting the file under user/library/container - I've tried deleting and setting up the accounts - I can''t seem to get this option to appear - it is just "greyed" out.
    Thoughts on how to fix?

  • Pages documents greyed out after upgrade

    Since updating pages on my Ipad 2 some of the pages documents are greyed over, they will not open and when you try to open in another app it states "that this document is updating wait for it to finish then try opening in another app".
    I have rebooted pressing home and off button till the apple logo comes up and tried again.
    Still no better.
    If you  delete and then reinstall pages I suppose this may cure the problem, but will it not also delete all data?
    The greyed over pages are the only ones I have NOT created in pages, which may conclude that the issue is with pages that have been created with a conversion
    For example: email word document converted to pages ( which is the ones that don't open for me)
    Does anyone else have the same issue and can Apple please tell me what is getting done about it.

    Hi,
    Uninstalling and reinstalling should do it. If you want your documents do be backed up; you have to upload them by doing this: http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0091009/photos/106752024@N02/10897769403/   And then this:  http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0094009/photos/106752024@N02/10897504085/ 
    You can find that under: Setings, iCloud.
    Hope it works!! :)

  • Trying to install iLife 06 on MacBook Pro. Apps to install are greyed out.

    I transferred all my files from a G4 PowerBook 17" to a MacBook Pro 17" just recently and accidentally overwrote the Universal Binary version of iLife that came installed on the MacBook Pro with the PowerPC version of iLife. I called Apple and they said to delete the old apps and then reinstall the new apps from the iLife 06 DVD if I can.
    I have the install DVD, but when I go to "Customize" and attempt to install the apps, it greys out the main apps (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD and iDVD).
    When I go to "Easy Install" it offers an "upgrade" option. I have since deleted the apps and there is nothing to upgrade.
    Please help me! Thanks!
    MacBook Pro 17   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Open the /Library/Receipts/ folder, move any receipts related to iLife and the iLife applications out of the folder, and try installing iLife again. Regardless of whether or not the installation was successful, move back any receipts which weren't recreated and throw away the ones which were.

  • Messages App Greyed-Out and Non-functional

    I recently installed Yosemite on my (June 2013) Macbook Air and my messages app has just become an exercise in mind-numbing frustration.
    Issue:
    When I get texts, I get the pop-up notification in the top-right of my Mac with the texter's name and a preview of their message, but when I click on the notifications.. they disappear and nothing happens. Sometimes it'll pull up the messages app, but no matter how many times I restart it, the app is just a grey window that says "No Conversation Selected"-- or sometimes, it doesn't even say that. It's just a blank grey screen. And all (useful) preferences and options in the menu (apart from "about" and "close messages") are greyed-out, and the app itself doesn't show any conversations.
    Worst part being that I can't seem to find many people with the same issue, and thus I've Googled myself out to no avail.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    Check the Font AppleGothic.ttf is active and validates using the Font Book app.
    if you have to change anything restart the Mac.
    If this is not the issue go to ~/Library/Preferences and find com.apple.ichat.plist and Drag it to the Trash and then restart Messages.
    The above reply in another thread solved my issue! Namely that my apple gothic font was disabled, breaking the entire Messages app.

  • Problem with a few apps - A few Apps Greyed out

    Hello Guys,
    I have an iPAD 2 (64 Gig no 3G). I have the below problem with 4-5 apps
    - The App does not show up in any of the home screens
    - Search does not show the Apps
    - Search for the specific App in App Store shows that the App is installed, but there is no way i can delete these Apps from my iPAD  or use them
    - There was an update for one of the above missing Apps, but the update button was greyed out in the App Store.
    I want to use a few of the above Apps, but there is no way i can either use them or delete them.

  • Apps grey out on iTunes

    I have three iphones. One is an iphone4 and is the one I use as my phone/pda. Two are leftovers from updates that I only use for my kids to play games on. One runs 3.2, the other also runs 4.2. I sync mine many times a day (iCal, Mail, iPhoto, etc)...the other two only when there are new games to load on them. I have synced purchased games on iTunes or my iPhone4 many times before among all three
    Today I got Ball Pit on my iphone4. I synced to iTunes and when i tried to sync the other two iphones both showed the apps greyed out on the app tab...all the other tabs (although i do not use) are functional. After disconnecting I noticed the app store icon on both of these "game" iphones are gone (). Help pls!! Many thx.

    On both of these iPhones, go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Is Restrictions turned on?
    If so, is Installing Apps enabled as a Restriction?

  • Using the Android Reader app, why is the signature option greyed out?

    I have a client that has enlisted me to create 3 fillable PDF forms. I used FormsCentral to create these fillable forms, then I saved them as PDFs to my Dropbox. I opened the Adobe Reader app on my Tablet, and access the forms. As for the client, they are home builders, and these 3 forms are 3 different stages of the building process. They are using them to interact with the new homeowner. They want to do this on Samsung Note 10.1 tablets with Verizon data. There are 3 issues I am faced with fixing:
    1. The signing process is quite a process. Meaning too many clicks to setup and apply a digital signature according to the customer. And that is on a PC, because I am unable to use the "signature" function - the button is greyed out. Why is that?
    2. Once we resolve the above issue, then will there be a way to "lock" the form so that the customer's responses and selections are unchangeable? If so, how?
    3. Once the form is signed and "locked" (if possible), what is the simplest way to send the form via e-mail? I ask because they want there to be a way to setup the form to e-mail copies to the addresses that are entered into an e-mail field on the form. Sort of "auto-populate" the addresses as well as be able to set a predetermined address (back to their office) so that the results may be sent via mobile instantly upon completion.
    I know that is a lot to ask. Your help would be most appreciated!
    Thanks in advance, Rob

    (1) Why is the Signature button greyed out (disabled)?
    You used FormsCentral to create fillable forms and exported to PDF.  When exporting FormsCentral forms to PDF forms, FormsCentral adds "extended rights" to PDF forms so that users can fill out the PDF forms in Adobe Reader (which is a PDF viewer, not a PDF editor).
    The current version (11.5.0) of Adobe Reader for Android does not allow signatures to be added to any "Reader Extended" PDF documents (including forms).  We are actively investigating and trying to resolve the problem.
    (2) Is there a way to "lock" a PDF form?
    You can "flatten" a PDF form after the form has been filled out and signed by a customer.  Once flattened, it's not possible to change filled data or signatures.  When you try to email a filled PDF form (optionally with a signature), Adobe Reader for iOS will present the E-mail Document dialog with two options: "Send Original Document" and "Send Flattened Copy".  You can choose the "Send Flattened Copy" option.
    Unfortunately, the feature has not been supported in Adobe Reader for Android yet.
    (3) What is the easiest way to send a "flattened" copy via email?
    Because the issues 1 & 2 above have not been resolved, you are not able to do this in Adobe Reader for Android.  However, you can do this in Adobe Reader for iOS.
    First, you need to add a Submit button to your PDF form.  I am not sure if you can do this in FormsCentral.  But you can use Adobe Acrobat (a paid product) to add a Submit button.
    Setting action buttons > Add a submit button
    When your customer taps the Submit button in the PDF form, Adobe Reader (for iOS - for now) will present thee same E-mail Document dialog.  Once the "Send Flattened Copy" option is selected, Reader will launch the default Mail app and auto-populate email address(es) specified for the Submit button action.
    Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • Opening a document from a Java app

    I need to open a document from my Java app. It is a .rtf file and I would like it to open with the system associated application for rtf files. How should I do that?
    I have tried to figure out the Runtime.exec(), but it doesn't do what I need. I have been able to open Notepad or WordPad (oh, yes, I am on a Win XT system) by specifying them in the exec function, but I can't find info on how to let the system choose the program.

  • My safari screen is greyed out, I checked and found a response to this question.  I went to settings and cleared history, cookies, and cache, java script is on and I restarted, screen is still grey, cant touch it to do a thing.  Help!

    my safari screen is greyed out, I checked and found a response to this question.  I went to settings and cleared history, cookies, and cache, java script is on and I restarted, screen is still grey, cant touch it to do a thing.  Help!

    That is usually the fix but try this now.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if that helps.
    You can also try this - quit Safari. From the home screen - Double tap the home button and your recent apps appear the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it wiggles. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Tap the home button twice. Restart the iPad.

  • TS1702 Numbers keeps copying saved documents randomly and saves them to my Numbers desktop on my ipad.  They are greyed out and you cannot open them but the original I can open and its happening all the time to eery document

    I have numbers on my ipad 2, I have saved documents I have created in a folder so far so good.  For some odd reason when I open Numbers before I anything it autocopies every single document saved, and there are about 50 documents.  When it saves them the Numbers Icon is greyed out, the originals are still in colour.  I can open the originals but cannot open the copies which I have to delete every single time.  What is happening?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • All the apps that I have downloaded are "waiting" and whenever I try to sync apps on my computer with my phone, the apps section is greyed out and won't allow me to do anything. I have tried restoring to factory settings but it didn't work.

    How can I access my apps? They are all greyed out in itunes. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings but that didn't work. I have a feeling it may have something to with the restrictions settings on my phone  restrictions are on) but it won't allow me to change the restrictions without putting in a passcode. I don't remember ever having a passcode and after several attempts have not been able to get the right code.
    Also. on my phone, in settings, personal hotspot, iCloud and Twitter are greyed out. And, the App Store icon is missing from my screen as well.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!
