Grayed out tabs

I recently had to move all my music to an external hard drive. All my music plays, but when I right click Get Info, the info, video, sorting, and options tabs are grayed out. I can’t make any changes. I can’t even change info on CD’s I imported in the past, but music I bought today is fine. My computer is authorized, I don’t know what happened. Help. Thanks

Hi,
The greyed tabs occur, when you try to make all tabs invisible. Labview needs to keep at least one tab visible.
If you have 2 tabs; page 1, page 2 and you want to make visible page 1, you must :
page 1 visible;
page 2 invisible;
Take a look at my example bellow. It programatically changes tab visibility and uses a subVI to do so. The subVI takes one boolean parameter, that determines if you want to just show tabs supposed to be visible or also hide the other ones. If you hide and show the tabs in one loop (e.g. you use only one instance of this subVI), you will get the grey tabs you see in your example.
Hope this helps and clarifies the problem.

I am showing 9 tabs open and I cannot access other websites (they are grayed out when I clock on them). How do I close tabs?

I was working on calendar and opened too many tabs. I am showing 9 tabs open and it affects other sebsites I am now trying to access. The webpage is grayed out and non-accessible. I do not need all the tabs. How do I close them?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why is the "Show my windows and tabs from last time) option in Options- General is grayed out and will not let me restore previous sessions?

After updating to Firefox 6, the option in the Options-> General section to "Show my windows and tabs form last time" is grayed out and will not allow me to set it. If I go to the Firefox homepage, the option does not appear, nor does it appear if I go under the History or Firefox tab.
I tried to follow the directions on this website on the Session Restore page, but that seems out of date or just not helping.
I even went to the about:config (about:session restore does not work) and there was nothing I saw that would work

Firefox 6 seems to change your settings in Tools Options Privacy to "Never remember history". Once you change this to "Remember history" it will restore your previous session, as long as the setting in Tools Options General Startup is set to "Show my windows and tabls from last time"
Bad idea Mozilla - installing 6 should pick up your settings from 5. This problem will confuse many users.

What is the Compatibility Tab grayed out for applications on some network shares, but not others?

I have a network share with an executable file located in it. If I browse to the share by UNC path from a Windows 7 pro workstation and go to the compatibility tab of the .exe, the options are grayed out.
I have another network share with an executable file located on it. This share and workstation are at a different location, unrelated to the first example. If I browse to the share by UNC path from a Windows 7 pro Workstation and go to the compatibility
tab of the .exe file, the options are not grayed out, and I can check or uncheck what ever I need to.
Both shares are located on a Server 2008 R2 system w/sp1. Both workstations are joined to the same domain as the server they are connecting to the UNC path on. Both shares have given the user connecting full access on the smb sharing and ntfs sharing.
Someone please tell me how to make the compatibility tab not grayed out. Here is a screen shot of the comapatibility tab of the .exe file from both shares:

Hi,
You can use
Troubleshoot compatibility to set the application to Compatibility Mode.
You can right-click the application’s shortcut and click Troubleshoot compatibility.
Please refer to the similar thread and the third-party article below:

Thanks, but I read that link before I posted this. Even by running the compatibility wizard, you still can't edit the compatibility settings on Windows 7.

Properties tab "grayed out" in Acrobat 9 Pro

Hello-
I built a form using Live Cycle in 9 Pro for Windows. I want to have the form open as a "two up", so I assumed I should change this in the Properties menu. When I go to the Initial View tab, it is grayed out, and won't let me change anything. How do I get this tab to allow me to change it? Help!
Mike

Form created with LiveCycle Designer are XML forms in a PDF wrapper and many of the usual PDF properties are not available. This is like embedded rich media in a PDF. If you want to research this, Adobe and ISO have the PDF Reference manual available as a free download.

Edit Live Page View in New Tab Grayed Out

I've been looking forward to use using Dreamweaver CS5 to edit dynamic sites. One of the things I thought would really save time was being able to navigate to a dynamic page in live view and then edit it, instead of using File/Open, but when I browse to a page, the Edit the Live View Page in a New Tab is Grayed Out. Any help?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you needed to check out the document again when open a document which was checked out by yourself and received the error that the document was locked by yourself.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and I got the same results as you got.
I recommend to use the following method to call DispEX (utilizing open document add-on) which is directed to document relative URL instead of using the direct link:
<a onclick="return DispEx(this,event,'TRUE','FALSE','FALSE','SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3','1','SharePoint.OpenDocuments','','','','1','0','0','0x7fffffffffffffff')"
href="/site name/library name/file name.xlsx">Edit Document</a>
Best regards.
Thanks

Tab labels are grayed out except for active tab. This was not always the case. How to fix this?

I recently had the 29 upgrade forced on me. I did not like the new lay out. I was trying different things and I hit the restore defaults button. After I did this, any tabs that I had open that were not the active tab, the labels was grayed out. I want the labels to stay the same. How do I get this fixed?

Why do I have to install an extension to get back to the style I want to use? This is ridiculous.

Set Tab Order is grayed out

I just created a new document and want to set the "tab order", but it is grayed out. It was there yesterday, but not now. What did I do wrong?

My version is 8. Sorry, I should have said that. Weird, one of my co-workers said to try closing it and reopening it. Now it works. Not sure why that worked, but I am able to set the tab order now.
Thanks for your help.

Import Tab grayed out in Aperture 3.1

Hi folks, need some help:
When I try to import a .jpg from SDHC or HDD into an existing project in my library, the import tab will gray out and is no more selectable. It is no more possible to switch to the library or to chose another button in the toolbar. I need to close the application and open again to work with.
Steps to Reproduce:
Import photos from SDHC-Card with integrated Card Reader or from HDD in a already existing Project, add some metadata-settings during import. Repeat the step several times and always import in a existing project and the the import-tab will gray out. So it is no more possible to move over the library.
I have tried:
- Repair permissions
- Aperture 3: Basic Troubleshooting
I am using:
- Mac OS X 10.6.4, current updates
- Aperture 3.1 clean install
- Latest Pro-Kit-Updates
Are there other people having the same GUI-bug like I do? Or is there maybe a solution? I am looking forward to your answers.
Sincerely'
Immo

Hi Folks
@spikeyjonze: A new local user account has no impact on this issue, it is still present. This steps also belongs to the Aperture 3: Basic Troubleshooting
@Adrian Wackernah: I also have the same issues, but this issue ain't so big for me. My current issue with a grayed out import tab seems to be much worse. But thanks a lot for your answer.
@Gary: I also work with shortcut cmd-i to enter or leave the import-window. But I have never tried with <esc>-key to leave to import-window, if the import tab grays out. I will give it a try when I reproduce the bug again.
I also have opened a case at Apple Care Pro Apps Support Europe. I have send them the System Profiler and a screen-recording of the issue. So I need to wait until Apple has done their troubleshooting and analysis.
Thanks for your answers. If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely'

802.1x tab inaccessible/grayed out; 10.6.3

I'm observing some very strange behavior coming from the network control panel in 10.6.3; restarting the computer does alleviate the symptoms.
Clicking the 'Network' button won't even take me to the network control panel; I have to click 'Show all' and then click network again before being presented all the network connections.
When I click the 802.1x tab it becomes grayed out, and nothing happens (it won't present any of the configuration options in 802.1x and stays on the tab you were on previously).
Here's a screenshot - http://db.tt/G5Kq2F
any ideas? This is really annoying, I can't connect to my school's network.

Try removing the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist (back it up first). If that doesn't help, file a bug report.

AppleMan1958,
Much thanks! I moved the import over to a project file and solved as suggested. Did not realize a project needed to be created to share the import. Thanks again!
