Grey'd or part-grey'd out photos

When I transfer my photos from my digital SLR camera on to iPhoto via the SD card slot located on my macbook pro I find a few of the photos either part grey'd out or totally grey'd out. I can select them and go into editing but it shows like the photo is there with a chunk of it (or all) grey. I can crop out the grey but hoping there might be a soloution to this problem.
When you look at the images on the SD card you can clearly see the full image to be uploaded. If I try to upload it again it puts the same grey pattern on it as before.
I have had this problem for a while now, it's always been the same computer and camera, with random images.
Please see the image as an example of the part-grey'd out picture. If looking at the images on the SD card it shows it grey'd out, but the preview of the image in iPhoto is totally clear.
This bother with the photo only starts to occur when I try to connect the SD card to the macbook pro. Before then I can view the image clearly on the camera.
Please help as I'm not sure how to stop this from happening, and scared that I end up missing really nice photos because of this problem.
Thanks,
Kat

Same problem? Then same information is needed to help.
it looks like either your card or your card reader slot are having problems.
When did you last reformat your card in the camera? Id try to backup the images from the card and reformat it.
Have you tried a different card, if it has the same problem?
have you tried to read the card with a different card reader or connecting the camera directly?
Have you access to a different camera, to check, if cards from another camera are having the same problem?
Also what version of iPhoto and of the OS?

Why would iPhoto be grey'd out when I try to download pictures to Shutterfly from my MacBook?

I can't seem to access photo's saved to iPhoto to download to an external site. It is simply grey'd out; can't select.

The order of consumption is usually, video, pics, music, docs.
If you have a great deal of photos on you internal drive and have them on an external storage drive, then you can delete them from your internal, that would free up space, same for videos, they are both space hogs. I regularly put my photos to an external drive, just keep my internal with as much free space on it. It runs faster and less stressful on the drive.
If you are having these error messages then you most certainly need to get stuff off, overloading can kill a drive.
As a general rule try to keep the internal below 50% for better performance.

Mail icon has grey-d out life preserver over it

I have a grey-d out image over the Mail icon on the toolbar. It looks like a life preserver with an Apple logo in the center. It appeared about the same time my e-mail flat stopped working. Anyone have an idea of what's up or how to correct it?
G4 Notebook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The problem seems to have three parts.
1) Still cannot get or send mail and I get asked for password every time I check for new mail. Even though I put in my known password, it comes back and asks again.
2) I now have to 'force quit' Mail to get out of it completely.
3) The fan on the computer runs almost constantly (may or may not be part of the same issue but it all started at the same time).

CONTACTS DELETE OPTION "GREY'D OUT" Why..?!

I have Skype version (6.1.0.129) and decided to delete multiple contacts which i haven't used for many years.
After going to contacts on the task bar, and hitting the Contact list option, at the bottom of the drop down box, the option to delete your list of contacts... is "GREY'D OUT"..?! Clearly this means i do not, and have no options to delete my contacts..?!
Why is this..? ...and how do i delete my conacts from the desktop Skype Browser..?! You can't even access your contacts on your online account for you to delete via this option..?! WTF MAN...

Can you attach a screenshot?
Select / Highlight the contact you want to delete then press the DEL key. What happens?
Please note that, you can't delete MSN / Facebook contact within Skype application.

Grey'd out folders in building new workbook

I've created an 'orders' EUL against a snowflake style schema. Thus i have tables
Orders -< OrderLines
OrderDate -< Orders
Product -< OrderLines
Note that this is not a star schema, and that when you want both product and orderdate in the workbook you'd have to join orderdate to orders to orderline to product.
I see some wierd behaviour in the wizard. when I add order create date to the selection, everything except orders is grey'd out... including orderlines which is a child of orders! Am I missing some EUL setup? I should be able to select sum(units) from orderlines and group it by orderdate.
Does Discoverer mandate/strongly encourage a Star Schema design?

Brian:
If your joins are set up properly in the EUL, then selecting any column from the 'Orders' table should show enable you to also select from the OrderLines folder. Selecting from the OrderLines folder would then enable you to select from the 'Product' folder.
One of Discoverer's strengths is that it can adapt to any schema, OLTP or Star.
You may want to go back and look at the following: 1, Check your join definitions between the folders. 2, Try creating a 'complex' folder and check that you can select items from all three source folders. The basic steps are to a)create a new folder and give it a name b) drag items in from the Orders folder, c) drag items in from the Lines folder, and d) drag items in from the Products table. It's that easy.
Reconnect from the user edition, and you should be able to run the wizard against the new folder.

Reset Sync History Grey'd out...

In an effort to cure the iCal error...
"Calendars could not be synced due to inconsistent data. Confirm your computers data is valid then reset calendars on MobileMe in System Preferences."
..I decided to try resetting my sync history in iSync but when I do (iSync > Preferences) both the check box next to "Enable sync on this computer" and the "Reset Sync History" button are grey'd out.
Any idea what could be causing this?

Try turning off the syncing in the preferences of the programs that use it first. Then go back to ISync preferences and see if the check box is active

Sharing grey'd out in Workgroup Mgr, terminal way to renable sharepoints?

Y'all:
After performing some controller card resets on one of our Xserve RAIDs last nite, the lovely Workgroup Manager has the 'Sharing' grey'd out and unable to configure. Then after a half-hour of general troubleshooting, and an hour on the phone w/ Apple premium... they say it's time for a rebuild.
The Apple rep believes that the reason this may have happened was that we had root disabled in NetInfo (something we've had for quite sometime). He said that doing so (which is not the default, however it IS the default in Mac OS X workstation) is a bad thing on the file server for unspecified reasons.
So...
- anyone have any experiences/suggestions on how to troubleshoot bringing back the Sharing button?
- or, anyone know how thru the terminal to enable shares?
- and/or anyone care to comment on why root should not be disabled on OS X Server?
Cheers,
J.

To enable shares through the terminal do
sharing -a /SomePath/ShareThisDirectory
More info in Apple's Command Line Administration manual, available from http://www.apple.com/server/documentation/ and also from typing 'man sharing' at the server's terminal, which is where the example came from.

Wifi grey'd out on itouch 4Gen

I've reset all settings, turned it on and off, updated new version and still can't get the WI-FI to turn on. Also bluetooth is also grey'd out too.

Not good
See:

One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Try downloading and installing any free app. That usually kicks things back to life.

I-phone wifi grey-ed out.

I-phone wifi grey-ed out. Is there a way to restore it? I've been getting it ever since i updated to ios6.1. Some of my apps can't activate too. Can i get some help with it?

Check Settings/General/About and Wi-Fi Address. If it says "N/A" or "000.0000.000" your iPhone needs repairs, and I hope you are in warrenty.
Backup the iPhone and restore it if that does not show up in about. If a full restore does not fix the issue, your iPhone needs repairs.
Grey Wi-Fi is usually indicative of a chip loose in the iPhone or a serious software issue.

PAPER TRAY SUCKS. CANNOT PRINT OUT PHOTOS, TRAY ONLY ACCEPTS PAPER FROM BOTTOM TRAY. GRRRR.

My BRAND NEW (One week from delivery) no longer prints out photos. It printed out photos several times but 3 days' ago it stopped.
The paper tray is malfunctioning. Each time I try to print out a photo (remember, it's been done several times until a few days' ago) THE TRAY WILL NOT ACCEPT PAPER FROM THE TOP TRAY!!
SELECTED PHOTOS PRINT OUT ON PAPER FROM BOTTOM TRAY ONLY!! MY INK AND PAPER IS BEING WASTED AND SEVERAL OTHER POSTERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE HP 6520!
Is one of those infamous 2-hr. long marathon phone calls to Tech Support in India the ONLY way one can sensibly have an HP issue resolved?
This is ridiculous!

Failed to send out photo via imessage?

Using ipod touch 5, can not send out photos via imessage, please help!!

Dear,
If my last answer could not solve your issue, please refer to the informaiotn below:
The reported issue occurs due to the fact that outlook can only send attachments from the Business One attachments folder.
This issue has been fixed in 2005A SP01 PL41. Please refer to the note 1116389. As a solution we would suggest to upgrade to the latest patch level.
Until you upgrade to latest patch of 2005A SP 01 you can use the following workaround:
- Manually copy all attachments to the B1 attachment path before sending this mail. If you create a shortcut to your attachments folder in a convenient location (perhaps the desktop) this can be done very quickly. (Browse to your document, right click and select copy, press the Windows Key+D to go to your desktop, double
click the shortcut, then paste into the attachments folder.)
Alternatively, you could either:
- Change the B1 attachment path to your attachment files path.
or
- Uncheck 'Send E-mail via MS Outlook', and send this message. Nowthese attachments will be copied to the Business One attachment path.
Then send this message again, with 'Send E-mail via MS Outlook' checked.
Further we would suggest to apply following steps:
-upgrade your MS Office 2003 application to the current SP. (SP3)
-verify that the sender's e-mail address defined for the sender in SAP Business One is valid.
-Set up the correct smtp server in SBO Mailer / General Setting /Mail Settings (you should check with a "Test connection" button)
Wish the information could solve your issue.
Regards
Apple
