Grayed-out airport and bluetooth options (pulldown-menu)

Hi,
since the last week, i got some trouble with pulldown-menus of the desktop menu-bar.
everything in an apple (no third-party stuff) pulldown menu is grayed-out.
grayed-out:
bluetooth
airport
battery
time machine
working:
MobileMe
Audio
Language
Time
still i can change these options through the system preferences.
i tried the basic, "switch of and on" but this does not work.
because i do not have any more ideas and this problem is a little peeving, i hope someone here can help me.
thanks in advance!
Ps.: sorry about my language abuse

Ibooks author inspection widget: grayed-out title and caption options when object is selected

I'm trying to add titles or captions to photos in an iBooks Author project. I select the photo, click on Inspector and Widget, then Layout. The only active option on Layout is the Accessibility Notes. Is this a bug? What am I missing?

Right.
You can create text boxes next to an image for title and caption, but otherwise, those are attributes for a widget with media.

Trying to figure out pricing and plan options to add multiple computers to current subscirption. We currently have a subscription that allows the programs on two computers, but now I need 5 computers to be updated with CC.

Trying to figure out pricing and plan options to add multiple computers to current subscirption. We currently have a subscription that allows the programs on two computers, but now I need 5 computers to be updated with CC. Have looked in to Small Business teams, but do not understand how many computers that is good for and if there is a professor or previous customer discount. Any help would be great, thanks!

Hi,
I presume that the new configuration is missing some parts as you seem to have the IP address of the external interface configured staticly on the interface but you have not configured any default route on the firewall? (Original configuration got default route dynamically and added it to the routing table)
You also mentioned that you were able to connect to the Internet which would indicate there was indeed a default route with the new configuration?
I am a bit confused about the host mask on the external interface (/32 - 255.255.255.255) ? Does the ASA really let you configure a host address on the interface? It can't lead anywhere as there is no next hop with a host mask. I think the ASA even blocks using a /31 mask link network which works with Cisco Routers.
I guess I would go through the basic troubleshooting step when the new configuration is in use
Check logs for any blocked connections or error messages
Check the Static PAT (Port Forward) configuration with the "packet-tracer" command
Capture traffic on the ASAs external interface (with the ASA itself) and confirm that you are seeing the TCP SYN of any connection attempts, or perhaps capture ICMP

Turn Off AirPort and BlueTooth?

Is it possible to buy an MacMINI without AirPort and BlueTooth?
If not it is possible to ensure that neither of these devices radiate?
I can't stand wireless technology...
Strangely, the ultra expensive Mac Pro doesn't even come with these annoying "features"

Electromagnetic radiation falls off exponentially with distance (er, something like that) -- so sitting right next to a wireless transmitter 12 hours a days is quite distinct from walking past Starbucks.
A little scrap of paper in the packing material for your wireless router actually gives you an FCC warning to stay at least 3 feet away from the device. Not something particularly emphasized by the industry.
The point about mobile phones is definitely correct -- which is why I don't use one, and if I really needed to, would make quick calls or text, not keep it glued to my ear all day blabbing about celebrities and my boyfriend problem : )
The government also says its Perfect Save to live directly next door to a nuclear power plant, with cooling water running through a stream in your back yard. You'll find some property bargains if you're willing to do that.

What can I do, iPad disabled/lockout and iTunes keeps asking for password, I cannot restore...iTunes grays out backup and restore but my iPad and iPod shows on Apple etc..

What can I do, iPad disabled/lockout and iTunes keeps asking for password, I cannot restore...iTunes grays out backup and restore but my iPad and iPod shows on Apple etc..???

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Wi-fi and bluetooth options "greyed out"

My iPod got wet, so I dried it in rice for a few days and just completed the restoration process as "adtivation required" was on the screen when it turned on. It's as if I have a brand new iPod. However, when I try to set up wi-fi connection, the wi-fi option as well as the bluetooth options are "greyed out." Any help appreciated!

Grayed out airport menus

Not sure if this is the right place for this question.
I'm getting my internet connection on a network distributed by my time capsule. In the upgrade to airport admin 5.3, I seem to have lost the function of the drop down menu under the airport signal fan on the finder ribbon. It's grayed out. The airport fan is bold. But the menu under it is gray.
But I'm not entirely sure about cause and effect here. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Or if it is something I can easily adjust?

you mean in the sharing and permissions for the airport utility?
if so, yes. i'm running as admin there.
i can change networks through the system preferences menu. but not through the finder ribbon under the airport signal fan

Grayed out "No Wi-Fi" option in settings on 3.1.3. Help please.

So ive never had a Wi-Fi problem on my phone till this morning. Everything was running fine last night. I plugged my phone in my computer let it sync then turned off the phone to let it charge overnight.
When I turned it on this morning I noticed my wifi icon wasn't there anymore. So I went into the settings and it says for WiFi that "No WiFi" and the option itself is all grayed out. I tired rebooting the phone, a hard reset and resetting of network connections nothing worked. I was going to try to do a restore then when I hit the button and window came up and told me that it would erase all the data on the phone and the newest operating system would be installed.
Thats a problem for me. I've had iOS4 before and I hated it so much I returned that phone and got a replacement 3GS with 3.1.3 installed. Can anyone help me out with this?

I don't know if anyone cares or not but I just got back from the Apple store it was a hardware issue with my phone so I got a replacement 3GS.

Should be the bluetoot symbol grayed out when the bluetooth is turned "ON"or it should be highlighted in white like rest of the active symbols are? Please unswer this simple question clearly. Thank you.

My blutooth symbol on the new i-Pod 2 is grayed out when the option is turned "ON". Shouldn't be highlighted white like the rest of the symbols are?

when blue tooth is turned off in settings, the symbol does not show at all. when BT is turned on in settings, but there is no connected device, it will show the symbol gryed out. When BT is on, and connected to an active device, it will show as bright white.

Gray out site-level profile options

Hi All,
Kindly let me know if there is any sql statement for graying out site-level profile otion for all the profile optinos.
So that the dev user can only modify the profile options at user or resp level but not at the site level.
Kindly help me out with some sql query which can gray out the site - level field at profile options.
Thanks is advance.

Hi,
But they can simply login to Application Developer responsibility (assign it to themselves if they do not have it as they have access to System Administrator) and revert all the changes :)
If each use has his/her own username, you should be able to know who is the one who updated the profile option value.
As mentioned in my first reply, update the site updatable columns in the table, this should stop the users from updating those profile options (try this on a test/dev instance and take a backup of the table first -- please do not apply the same on your production instance).
One other possible workaround/solution would be using forms personalization to hide the system profile option values at the site level but again if some one has the apps password and System Administrator responsibility he should be able to disable the code.
Thanks,
Hussein

MG 3250 grayed out 2 sided print option (Yosemite 10.10.3)

yosemite 10.10.3printer driver 12.3.0.0 have deleted and re-installed printer when printing using airprint option 2 sided can be choosen (but other options are limited) when printing using driver (to enable lower qulity printing - i.e. fast) - double sided is a grayed out option - and no matter which options are utilised it will not highlight. is there a solution ? thanks

Solution found by trial and error. You may wish to note it for future reference. Under "Printer" there was a line, "Nearby printers", showing another version of "Canon MG5300 Series" - I clicked on that and it showed "Configuring printer" for a few seconds. A new printer by the same name appeared in the "Printers and Scanners" section of System Preferences. Then, when I clicked on the options window (at that point showing "Copies & Pages"), the layout was back in the order I was used to when 2-sided was an available option, and (glory be!) when I clicked on "Layout", up came a beautiful black lettering version of the "Two sided:" box. Click on that and I get the familiar options of "Off / Long-Edge Binding / Short-Edge Binding". I hope this helps others facing the same problem.

TS1559 still no solution for greyed out wifi and bluetooth - what to do? been messing around with it for weeks and now discover I'm just outside of warranty period? WHAT?

I am in such a predicament - phone not been quite right since the 6.1 update and I was tolerating the inconvenience of switching off and on etc etc for the past couple of months and now the wifi and bluetooth are totally greyed out all the time - did every restore possible including back to factory settings - still no luck - please don't tell me that trying all the solutions over the past 2 months that temporarily worked for a few days at a time will now mean I have timed myself out of the 1 year warranty? arghhhhh (I can't believe that such an issue will create the response 'oh well, your problem - best just buy another one' ???)
I can't just drop everything and drive to the apple store and wait for hours every time there's a 'glitch' otherwise I may as well move nextdoor to the mall. They tell you to try and solve it yourself first - which I did - and now it's not responding to anything I try, will I be told - 'too late, out of warranty'???
I see theres an update for the iphone 5 that fixes wifi bugs - what about us 4s owners? even my 3 year old 3gs is still working on wifi (haven't dared to update it!) so don't start telling me to expect that the iphone will only last 13 months - NOT AT $600 a piece
This is madness and driving me crazy
Please has anyone had any luck fixing this problem???

well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!

Late 2005 - Airport and Bluetooth - won't work together

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with my Powermac G5 (late2005).
I have the Airport Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card installed.
WLAN and Bluetooth work both if operated separately.
But when Airport is activated and running and I turn on Bluetooth (and connect for example my Magic Mouse) Airport breaks down. - I loose my connection and can't see any other wireless networks.
Switching to another Airport channel din't help.
Does anybody have an idea what to do?
Thanks a lot!
Chris

I just started trying BT.
I allready had a look at the cabling and read about it, that it doesnt matter how the calbes are connected to the airport card.
I don't think I can put anything between the antennas.
The late2005 has the build-in antenna (for Airport and BT)...
But I will have a look if I can place anything between an I will change the cabling...
Thanks so far!
Chris
