Function buttons are grey instead of blue?

When I open my messages and look at the edit function and new message function it's grey instead of blue. What does that mean?

The text with a function on a white background should be blue, and the background for the Edit function with the Messages app is white, so not sure what the text being gray means. I'm not aware of a setting that changes that.

  • The Function Buttons are Greyed Out in Numbers

    I am new to Numbers having used Excel for years. I am trying to add up a column of figures but when I highlight the column and click the 'Function' button at the top of the page, all the functions are greyed out so not usable. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    I am using Numbers 3.1, downloaded on Saturday.
    Thanks

    clarie,
    select multiple columns, then drag the quick sum tag or use the formula:
    =sum(<RANGE1>, <RANGE2>, <RANGE3>, ...)
    where <RANGE1> thru <RANGEn> are any valid ranges
    e.g.
    =sum(A:C) will sum columns which would be the same thing as:
    =sum(A, B, C)
    you can also sum rows 1, 4, and 7 like this:
    =sum(1:1, 4:4, 7:7)

  • ITunes will not install any (downloaded) apps: the install buttons are grey.

    I have installed iTunes 12.0.1.26 on my (up-to-date) Windows 7 64 bit machine. I have successfully downloaded several apps from the app store. Now I would really like to install those apps on my iPhone 4s iOS 8.1.2, but iTunes wil not allow me to do so (nor on my iPod). It recognizes my iPhone, it shows me my apps, but the 'install' buttons are grey (i.e. they are not clickable). I have authorized my computer and installed iTunes as an administrator.
    I searched this site and found a solution to a similar problem, but unfortunately that solution will not work here. The solution was to double click on one of the apps in 'my apps' and then authorize my computer, but when I double click on an app nothing happens at all. Well, it gets selected (blue), but that is all. So iTunes just isn't working properly, but I don't know how to correct it.
    I really hope to get some help with this problem. Thanks in advance!

    Ah, not sure what I was thinking at time.
    You may want to try some of the troubleshooting steps in iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases. It may help to deauthorize and then reauthorize the computer. I suspect the double-click the app advice doesn't work with iTunes 12. Nothing interesting happened when I tried. If you have any protected media it might be worth confirming that it will play.
    Is this a new library with respect to the device? If so see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • All of my task bar buttons are grey

    All of my Taks Bar buttons are grey and I only have graphite an blue in the Appearance Prefrences window to choose from.

    Correct - what you have described is normal for Lion.
    Lion removed a lot of color from auxiliary icons, such as those in the Sidebar and those in toolbars. It's a shame, because clor can be a quick aid in finding the one you want quickly - it's a very good visual identifier.
    Re Appearance in the General pane of System Preferences - Blue and Graphite are the only choices offered in Lion.

  • Red, Yellow and Green button are grey.  "Show All" button disappears

    I'm having two issues that I can not figure out.
    First the red, yellow and green buttons are grey not colored. They still work but they do not show the correct color.
    The second problem is that the "Show All" button in system preferences is not visible until I float over the are where it should be. The button still works but is not visible.
    I can not figure out what happened or if the two situations are related.
    Any thoughts?
    -Rich

    Not sure on your other issue yet, but here's a suggestion for those buttons.
    Open System Preferences and click the Appearance option. Is it set to Graphite? Switch to Blue.
    I'll see if I can find a solution for your other problem as well!
    Edit: Can't hurt to try removing the preferences file and see if that fixes things.
    Click *Macintosh HD*, then Users> Library> Preferences. Delete--or move to the desktop--the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file. Restart your computer. Any changes?
    Try another user account as well to see if the button reappears.

  • The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

    Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

    Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

    Welcome Joe -
    PC or Mac?
    Back and forward buttons on a window listng the files in it, will only work if you open a file within the folder.
    If you simply open your folder, there nothing to go "back" to.

  • SRM Confirmation - All buttons are greyed out

    Hello experts,
    I have seen posts on similar isue but could not find one which was relevant.
    Here is my problem.
    I see that after a confirmation is created, when I go back into "Display and Process Confirmations ", all the buttons are greyed out. The header statuses for the confirmation are as given below.
    Complete 
    Confirmed 
    Created 
    Approved 
    Currently Being Transferred 
    I am not sure why it says "Currently Being Transferred", when its actually posted in the backend.
    All clean up and update jobs are running fine. I am on SRM 5.0. I even tried the program to regenerate BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB entries.
    Please help incase you have experienced this or know the solution to resolve this problem.
    Thank you.
    Thanks and Regards
    Manish Mohan

    Hi Manish,
    Did you manually run the update reports CLEAN_REQREQ_UP and BBP_GET_STATUS_2 without any document numbers?
    So there is no entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB for this document?
    You mention that the document has been created successfully in the backend?
    Did you check the status of the IDOC in both EBP and the backend?
    Nevertheless I have an Info for you - If you debug the program                                   
    clean_reqreq_up you may find out that the corresponding IDOCs within the                              
    backend system are never found by the FM                                                   
    B46A_GOODSMVT_UPDATECHECK - this FM is called within the program                                    
    clean_reqreq_up with the parameters: 
            object_ident-objkey = IS_DOCUMENT_TAB-OBJKEY.                                               
            object_ident-objtype = 'IDOC'.                                                              
            object_ident-logsys = sender_logsys. 
    where the OBJKEY is the IDOC number within EBP-System.                                              
    Because the corresponding IDOC is never found in the backend system                                 
    (the return code from backend system is always 1 - object not found)                                
    all confirmations get the status I1019 (Transfer Error) and stay hang                               
    in the table bbp_document_tab in the QSR-system and also alert message                              
    is created for them.                                                                               
    The question is why is it not possible for this FM to found any IDOC in                             
    the backend system even when there are posted there...
    this FM is called within the program where the OBJKEY is the IDOC number
    within EBP-System.
    where the OBJKEY is the IDOC number within EBP-System.                                              
    Because the corresponding IDOC is never found in the backend system                                 
    (the return code from backend system is always 1 - object not found)                                
    all confirmations get the status I1019 (Transfer Error) and stay hang                               
    in the table bbp_document_tab in the QSR-system and also alert message                              
    is created for them. 
    So if there is no entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB, maybe, regenerage another one and run this in debug mode and recheck.
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards,
    Matthew

  • My camera app won't work, all the buttons are grey when I open the camera

    when I open my camera, all the buttons are grey so that I can't take a picture, turn on flash, etc.
    I can view my pictures taken but that's it.
    have restarted it numerous times, no success.
    thanks for your help.

    Hello there, Johnmr88.
    You might want to close out all apps first and foremost:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Then it might be worth attempting a restart of the iPhone, and then a reset, should that not resolve the issue.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the Camera app is still showing greyed out then you may want to try restoring the iPhone.

  • Lync 2010 client - Drop down entreis are grey instead of black

    We are having Lync 2010 environment. Few users, in Lync 2010 client - Drop down entreis are grey instead of black. Could anyone of you suggest, what needs to be done to fix it?
    Thanks
    Funnyghost

    CAS shutdown shouldn't cause issues.  If you type the number you see into the Lync search box, does it normalize to E.164 format?  If you type in an E.164 number into the dropdown and try to call that, do you see the number there in black?

  • Upon starting up my mini mac for the first time I see the welcome screen but the 'go back' and'continue' buttons are greyed out so I cant continue.

    As the title states everytime I boot up my mini mac the 'go back' and 'continue' buttons are greyed out and I cannot continue with the installation. I even went out and bought an external cd drive to try and load the operating system and that did not work either.

    Hi, what OS version is it? And which year Mini?

  • Window Control buttons are grey

    Installed Yosemite, and now my window control buttons (cancel, minimize, maximize usually red, yellow, green) are greyed out.  Is there a fix for this?

    Hey there Darrel,
    It sounds like the top left 3 buttons still function but are gray in color. The symptoms indicate to me that the Appearance setting in System Preferences is set to Graphite rather than Blue:
