Greyed out buttons

Hi
I seem to be getting a growing number of key buttons that are greyed out and not functioning. Noticed a couple of things after the last updare of the OS but didin't really take any notice as it wasn't really critical at the time. Since then, however, more and more appear to be going offline...... for instance..... Apps Store.... can't sign in or update.... although both do appear to generate some activity in that the activity wheel displays for a second or two and then disappears with no further activity. Tried to downoad and upgrade to Lion but no chance with things not working. Gone to burn a slideshow today and the New Burn Folder is greyed out. Anyone any ideas on what is going on? :-(
Oh, another thing that I ve noticed is that Aperture3, which I can't download and install the latest update for either, also has several bits of functionality now not accessible due to greyed out.
Thanks in anticipation

thanks, that did it!

Grey-out button dynamically in the application toolbar

Hi,
How can I grey-out button dynamically in the application toolbar?
It's not an ALV grid, where it's easy.
SET PF-STATUS '100' EXCLUDING 'SOMETHING'. hides completely the button.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi,
Sorry forgot to add something to my previous reply...
The complete steps will be as follows :
1. Create Two PF status , One with active Button and Function code and Second with Inactive Function code and Greyed button (This can be acheive by using Push Button assignment as specified in the thread)
2. Dynamically change the PF status to Second one when you want to deactivate the specified Function from the application tool bar.

NWBC - hiding/greying out buttons and OBN errors

Hi,
I'm working with Environment, Health & Safety via NWBC, but having great trouble influencing the NWBC screens.
I am backend security proficient enough, however I cannot seems to figure out how the buttons on the NWBC side are controlled,
hidden or greyed out. They don't always match with the ACTVT fields that you have in your backend authorization roles.
Things such as Work Centres, the left side-panel/navigation menu I can control, that is not too difficult. What I want to know
is why sometimes buttons are greyed out in certain forms or screens and how I can authorization trace that. Almost nothing of
what is going on in NWBC or in dynamically created POWL screens leave any traces on SU53 authorization error reports.
Who has some good pointers on how to get more grip on NWBC behavior of mostly
- buttons (hiding, greying out)
- how to find the correct missing services
and
- other OBN errors ?

Usually it is the application specific POWL feeders which define what actions are available. POWL will automatically disable buttons where the action isn't listed as support. In other words this is a application specific problem, not a NWBC one.

How to disable (grey out) button in report

Hi,
Can any one; pls help how to disable button (grey out) on some specific condition.
I have a report of 2 pages; In first page it displays few records; once click on specific record control goes to next page 2; And here i have button (template based button); Once click on this it perform pl/sql procedure.
My requirement is: The button should disable (should not hide) when moves from page 1 to page 2 based on some specific returned values in page 2.
I have return code in button conditions (Condition type = PL/SQL Function Body Returning a Boolean)
Sample code is:
if :value1 = 'disable_test_value' then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;
The above code is working fine with button completely disappers if the :value1 = 'disable_test_value' (which is suppossed to be as we gave return false).
My question is: Is there any way; we can still show button (but button disabled or grey out; so that no action can perform on this button )? And also show some text message in other text field when button is disabled?
Thanks!!

I have an example: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=27168:1 using theme #2. You need to use a theme that has a "grayed-out" alternate button template.
To accomplish this I:
1) Created one item named P1_VALUE1 to contain the condition as to whether the button should be enable ("enable_test_value") or disabled ("disable_test_value").
2) Created an enable button with a "Button Style" of "Template Based Button" with "Button Template" value of "Button". I had the "Condition" type of "PL/SQL Function Body Returning a Boolean" to be:
if :p1_value1 = 'disable_test_value' then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;I had the "URL Target" to be: javascript:alert('Performing function ...');
3) Create a disabled button with "Button Style" of "Template Based Button" with "Button Template" value of "Button, Alternate 3". I had the "Condition" type of "PL/SQL Function Body Returning a Boolean" to be:
if :p1_value1 != 'disable_test_value' then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;I had the "URL Target" to be: javascript:alert('Performing function ...');

HT201253 How to fix the Wifi grey out button

How to fix the Wifi grey out button

Same exact problem, and the linked how-to repair, does not fix the problem.
Wifi is grayed out, iphone 4s, iOS 8.1.1 update (11/29,14) just killed the wifi dead. iOS 8 updates killed Bluetooth....
I just don't understand this at all....

TS1559 what do you think about the fact that apple does not recognize the Wi-fi grey-out button as being they fault ?

Recently i updated my os on my iphone 4s , after update my Wi-fi button is grey and cannot be used , i called apple suport explaining them the problem .
They replied : It is out of waranty and this is not a Apple problem if it was we would know about it and fix it by now !
So now i am obligated by apple to change the device because they messed up the os .

I have no problems with my 4S. See if this helps: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22668300#22668300

Mac app store "an error has occurred" and greyed out button for download

I'm trying to download an app in the mac app store.
It's got stuck and nothing seems to get it going again.
I get "an error has occurred" and the button along side is grey.
If I click the button it does a little animated click and nothing happenes.
Any idea how to resolve this?

Run Console to check the recent logs for more details (look for com.apple.installd).
In example, I had something like:
com.apple.launchd[1]: (com.apple.installd[69518]) Job appears to have crashed: Abort trap: 6
ReportCrash[69520]: Saved crash report for installd[69518] version 332 to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/installd_2014*.crash
And when checked backtrace under System Diagnostic Reports, there is something like:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: incomprehensible archive
So it's possible that update files were corrupted. Try to remove these files and re-try again.
See: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4234582
From Terminal check if you've temporary files here:
ls -la /private/var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.appstore
And then try to remove them (you may backup them first just in case):
rm -frv /private/var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.appstore
Or eventually run Finder and go to: /private/var/folders and Trash all the folders (if something bad happens, restore it from your Trash).
And re-try again.
Removing all the folders from /private/var/folders it actually fixed the problem on my laptop.

Please help! iPhone 6 Plus will not sync to PC, sync button greyed out.

After upgrading to 8.3 I am unable to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes on my PC. When the phone is connected by cable the PC recognizes the phone and it is visible in iTunes, but the sync button is greyed out and the storage bar only shows about 20gb used, all yellow and marked as "other" data even though my iPhone actually has about 90gb of apps/music/photos on it. I am using the stock Apple sync cable, latest iOS update and iTunes. So far I have tried:
-Power cycling both phone and PC.
-Completely uninstalling iTunes and all associated programs in the order recommended by Apple, then re-installing.
-Unchecking everything to be synced (music, photos, etc) then clicking apply. iTunes does send some kind of brief sync with the phone after I click apply but I'm still left with the greyed out button and yellow storage bar. Nothing is deleted from the phone. Re-checked everything same result.
-Wiped and restored iPhone from iCloud backup, still no sync button and yellow storage bar.
I noticed when I check for music "on device" it only shows about 30 songs from a couple of different albums, all with the dotted circle indicating they were not transferred. I actually have a lot more on the iPhone. I've tried everything I can think of to clear these out and nothing works.
Any ideas?

Try to set it back to factory settings and restore from the latest backup, explained in this article:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If all content on your phone is marked as "other", the data on the phone can't be read by iTunes anymore and the only thing that could help is restoring the device.

Greyed out loops in Garageband 11?

I installed GB11 from the Mountain Lion's Appstore and not from an iLife DVD. It required an update for the loops and most of them downloaded but there are still some greyed out buttons.
Here's a pic: http://imgur.com/5OgugCL
All the support pages and discussions gave me zero help thus far. I even tried downloading an update right from Apple's Garageband support pages for version 6.0.5, but that's apparently only for those who have installed via DVD. Solutions anyone? Please and thanks!

Contrary to the above response, it is NOT normal, and the grayed out loops are not supposed to be grayed out. It is not because you don't own Jam Packs and have them installed; the missing loops are not Jam Pack content.
The missing loops do belong in GarageBand '11, and have to be downloaded from Apple and installed into GB. The problem is, GB is broken in this respect, and it will not download the loops, and the App Store will also not update the loops. GarageBand will say it is downloading them in Software Update, but it will not do so.
I called AppleCare about this, and it took a couple tries, but we got it solved. It's complicated to do so.
It is, the support person said, the one thing broken in GB '11. Anyway, here's the procedure that worked to get them to install. (Hope I'm not giving up any state secrets here; they didn't swear me to secrecy and others do have the problem.)
First thing to do is go to GarageBand and make it go through its fakeout cycle telling you it's updating the loops. Click on any gray loop's download arrow, and tell it to download it now. It'll open App Store, and that won't download anything, and it'll all fail. Quit App Store and GarageBand.
Next, you need an administrator login user. I created one, called "apple" -- do this in the Users & Groups panel in System Preferences. (You do need admin privileges to do this; you may already have them in your own login, and thus not need to create an administrator login.) Gave it an easy password. Then, with Fast User Switching, I logged in as the administrator "apple."
It'll take a few minutes for your machine to set up this new user, so be patient until it's all logged in. (The mouse will be slow. You can change that in System Preferences Mouse panel if you want to.)
Now, open a Terminal window. Fastest way to do this: Spotlight (Cmd-Space), type in "terminal" and hit Return key once Terminal is highlighted in the Spotlight list.
Let Terminal get all set up, with a cursor available.
You'll see something very like:
Last login: Sat Jun 29 18:55:22 on console
ComputerName:~ apple$
At the cursor prompt, type:
sudo softwareupdate --list
Hit Return. Now you'll see:
WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.
To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.
Password:
Type in the password you created, and hit Return. Now you should see:
Software Update Tool

Software Update found the following new or updated software:
   * GBExtraContent-1.0
    GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops (1.0), 1170290K [recommended]
Select and then copy (cmd-C) the GBExtraContent-1.0
Now, type at the ComputerName:~ apple$ prompt:
sudo softwareupdate --install GBExtraContent-1.0
Now, you'll see the update take place. It'll look like this:
Software Update Tool

Downloading GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops
   104 KB of 1.2 GB
   1 MB of 1.2 GB — About 14 minutes
   2.5 MB of 1.2 GB — About 10 minutes
   4.1 MB of 1.2 GB — About 8 minutes
   6.1 MB of 1.2 GB — About 7 minutes
[This will continue until it's all downloaded.]
What you're seeing in that counting of GB and minutes is the countdown of the download and the install time. Let it run until it completes.
Give it a couple minutes to complete installing, and then start GarageBand in the admin login. It will take some time for GB to start up, because it's the first startup for this user. Several minutes.
Once it has completed (it takes a while, as I said), go to the Loop Browser. They should all be there, no gray.
Quit GB and go to your normal User and start GB there. The loops should all be present. If not, quit it and restart it. Now they should all be there.
At least, this worked for me this way.

Click-To-Call AddIn with Citrix are greyed out

Hello,
we use the Cucilync 8.2 and installed the Office Addins. On a local machine installation, we have no problem with the addin. It works fine.
But in the Citrix installation, we have greyed out buttons for dialing. I have no idea where to begin with troubleshooting.
Has anyone a idea for me?
The OS is 64Bit and the Office is 2007 32 Bit. This should be supported i think so.
Thanks for your help!!!
Christian

Hello,
Please check for specific citrix supported enviroment here -
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cupa/click_to_call/8.0/english/release/ReleaseNote_c2c.html#wp2485669
If this is within the supported environment, then this is most likely a network issue (given the same user account works on windows workstation)
For deskphone control, CUCILync directly takes to callmanager over QBE. Please check "Server Health" for Deskphone status if it states "QBE connected". If it is saying otherwise, please check CTI Manager SDL log of callManager to check for issues. Also CUCILync problem report will have "core.log" file that might give more indication what the issue is.
For softphone control (CSF device), this is a SIP protocol device and a simple wireshark capture with "sip" filter will give out more info on the local machine.
Thanks

Firefox greys out McAfee with a ? beside it. running OS Windows 8 some programmes stop working

I loaded the upgrade to windows 8 and 4 days later McAfee disappeared after I tried to open it, McAfee logged onto my computer and got it running again but the next day it happened again. The first time nothing would work I tried to down load McAfee use one key recovery to no avail. The second time I managed to recover McAfee and slowly got every thing working except McAfee, it has a greyed out button in the bottom right hand corner. McAfee tried to correct it but told me one of their senior techs would have to look at it, and I am still waiting.
It seems to happen more if I am going into Gmail

Sorry, that doesn't sound like a Firefox support issue.
