Enrolled Macs' "Sleep" option is greyed out

Hello,
As soon as a Mac is enrolled into our OS X Server it becomes unable to "Sleep." The Sleep option under the Apple menu is greyed out and even closing the lid will not put the Mac to sleep. This has been a big issue because it is killing our machines' battery life.
There are no management settings enabled for any of the Macs, under Profile Manager and they are not in any device groups. There are also no management settings enable for the users of the machines nor are the users in any groups. As soon as they are enrolled, the Sleep option is greyed out and nothing will allow them to sleep.
This was happening with the Server version right before Version 4. We updated hoping Version 4 would resolve this issue but it did not. All help is greatly appreciated!
OS X Server Version 4 (14S333)
Mac Mini Server purchased in mid 2014
2.6ghz Quad Core i7 Processor
16gb of RAM

It appears Apple needs to fix a problem with the "Login Window" Payload in Profile Manager.
To enable sleep on a mac until the settings are pushed out again use terminal and enter the following:
sudo pmset -a disablesleep 0
You will also need to do this if you remove the "Login Window" Payload from the settings you push out, since the mac won't revert to the working settings.
I notified Apple about this thread.
PS I was able to manually change the config profile (downloaded from Profile Manager) with text editor to get it working the way I wanted, but I only have one client computer. If you do this, there were 2 entries. I found them by searching the config for "sleep". Change the entries from true to false. You can then install the modified settings profile.

When I select the lab color mode, many options are greyed out?

Can anyone help me . When I select Lab color, many options are grey out. The following are greyed out: exposure,vibrance, black and white, channel mixer, and selective color. It worked perfectly the first time I used it but will not work now. Do I need to reset something. I have tried everything I can think of. I use a PC and PS 5.
Thanks for the help.

I'm working on the Mac versions of CC and CC 2014. If I select Lab, those very same options are grayed out.

All iWeb options are greyed-out, and can't make a new sites or pages.

Hello,
I am having a very annoying problem with iWeb. Every option is greyed-out! I can't make a new page or site, and it quits as soon as I close the iWeb window. It is version 1.1.2 I have tried installing useless updates for iWeb that did nothing, and I've tried to open iWeb from iPhoto by clicking the iWeb button, which also did nothing. I'm just about to give up on it.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction or have a fix for this? All help will be appreciated!

Hi ineedagoodalias,
The answer to your problem isn't necessarily the simplest, but I'm 99% sure that it will work for you.
You need to delete and reinstall iWeb. Not hard to do; you just need your installation DVD's that came with your machine.
Drag the iWeb.app from your Applications folder to the trash. Spotlight for other elements of iWeb, and trash those as well. Empty the trash and restart your machine.
On your recovery disks, as you move through the prompts, look for "Install bundled software". Customize the install to include only iWeb. After reinstalling iWeb you will be back to 1.0.1.
Update the app to 1.1.1 directly from this link:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html
This will get you going, and you can update to 1.1.2 when you are sure everything is working properly. For other FAQ on iWeb, please see this link:

Be sure to let us know how it goes.

Iphone fingerprint options are greyed out and won't enable!!

I Have had my iPhone 5s since feb and never had an issue, but just yesterday the finger print scanner stopped working... Went back in to enable and the options are greyed out.. When I click them to enable them it just says failed. Have restored and turned off loads!! Help!!!!

Try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

"Build" option is greyed out.

Hello. I am working on a Mac Book Pro with a Superdrive USB DVD drive. Using Adobe Encore CS6 with Creative Cloud. Exported .m2v and .wav files from premiere and imported them into Encore. Have set up the first play function. A new DVD is in the drive but the "Build" option is greyed out. Any ideas out there?

Change for the output to be "folder" or "image" rather than disk. If the Build button is then available, it may indicate that Encore is not seeing your drive, or otherwise not ready to write to it.
A workaround if that is the case is to build to image and burn with Toast.

New User Question: How do I enable comments in Reader when this option is greyed out on my menu?

I cannot figure out what I am missing here. I have a PDF Portfolio completed and now want to E-Mail for Review. But this option is greyed out on my Comment Menu dropdown list. What to do? Thanks!

Two Places to Check
In iChat in the Video menu (May say Audio) to the right of the Buddies one there is Camera Enabled. It should show a tick next to it.
Next in the View Menu the Show Video Status item also needs a tick.
If those two items are ticked then go to the Apple icon top left > About this Mac > More Info button to open the System Profiler.
Use the reveal Triangles and go to Hardware > USB and see if the camera is listed.

Why did my MBP just "awake from sleep" with a greyed-out beach picture????

My MacBook Pro just awoke from sleep with a greyed-out image of a beach scene while a status bar at the bottom of page appeared to show some form of check-up or update.
Any idea what this was?

I think that's what the MBP does after the sudden motion sensor detects alot of movement. I'm not 100% sure, though.

When I load Messages, the preferences option is greyed out

I've synced Messages with my iPhone and my iPad but haven't been able to do so with my iMac. When I activate Text Message Forwarding for my iMac, it won't send a confirmation code to my computer. Also, when I go into Message on my iMac the Preferences option is greyed out.
Suggestions?

Hi,
In iChat and Messages up to version 8 in Mavericks this was solved by going to ~/Library/Preferences and finding the com.apple.ichat.plist and Dragging it to the Trash and restarting the app.
Whilst Yosemite still lists Messages as version 8 it is significantly different.
It seems here the Font AppleGothic.ttf needs to be active (and Validate).
It may be you need to do both as someone in the Yosemite Community did the deletion first then validated the Font before restarting and then getting their window to look "right".

SMS option is greyed out.

I cannot seem to send sms from my iChat. In my File menu, SMS option is greyed out. Does anybody else have this problem. I also tried adding a to my phone number contacts. that did not solve my problems.

Hi
To Explain this Picture.
It is the Pop when you go to the iChat > File Menu SMS (When it is not Greyed Out)
To get that item to be active you have to have the Computer set as if it is in the United States
This is set in System Preferences > International in versions Snow Leopard or Earlier.
It is called text and Something in Lion on the top row of panes.
The Format Tab is the one that has to show the United States.
The Phone Number has to be in the United States as this is the only place AIM Offer the service.
What they don't make quite so clear is that the Phone Service also has to be linked to the AIM SMS Forwarding service.

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

IMovie: My options are greyed out in content library. Help!

Since updating to Yosemite and CS6 2 of my print options are greyed out on my epson R2880 print pane?

My colour and colour settings options are 'greyed out' on my Epson printer pane since updating to Yosemite and CS6,this happened before after running a software update on the printer driver! The driver version at that time was 6.62 and now it has updated to version 9.00....could this be the problem??

That's strange ... did you try restarting before printer install? You also may need to delete the printer itself (System Preferences > Printers & Scanners) and add it again , in order to access the proper drivers (?)
Can you show screen shot(s) of your incomplete print dialog?

Newbie: In printing dialog, "Scale to" size options are greyed out

I am in the initial stages of figuring out how to use Aperture (v1.5). I am currently trying to make a 5x7 print of a photo.
In the print dialog, "Scale to" 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 size options are greyed out (only "fit image" and "fill entire page" are available).
I've tried searching through the forums, but to no avail...
Thanks!
