Greyed out Face tagging- Still!?!

I have a library of 15,000 photos. I would say only 1/16th of them have face tags. I have done library rebuilding. I have been on the phone with support to try their "Solutions". I see no spinning wheel next to faces like it's actually working to find more. However, iPhoto continues to write 387mb to my drive every minute while open. I am assuming it is finding photos to face tag, but I look through and there isn't that many new face tags. Terrible that it takes that much space to tag a face. I have left my library open for about 6 months now and it's still writing and writing to my drive and tagging photos is still greyed out on a majority of my photos.
I want a real answer from someone who is intimate about the program. If this program was made for a library of 500 photos then just friggin tell me and I will move on!
Does anyone know a proceedure that will fix this issue and force the faces to work properly? Quickly identifying missing faces and allowing tagging of all photos in libraries this large.

So, what solutions have you tried? It saves time for everyone if you tell us all the things you know already won't work.
There's a question that might yield useful answers. You have provided no details at all, not even the most basic information such as the version of iPhoto, where your Library is stored and so on.
And yes, I would happily say everything I have already written to your face. Frankly, your frustrations with Apple Support are of no interest, nor is your unhappiness. I don't work for Apple, no one here does. But I know something of iPhoto and am often happy to help other users. That said, users who simply whine and are argumentative soon prove tiresome and I quickly lose interest.

Greyed out ID3 Tags Artwork problem

I have a few mp3 files(not "read only") that have missing song information when checking the advanced section in the summary tab (window's explorer).
The only ones I can see are the "track number," "Title" and "comments" fields.
For example, the Artist, genre, year, album title, etc fields aren't even visible.
As such, I am not allowed to add any artwork to the songs using itunes. There isn't even a "artwork tab" to click on.
After searching the net for hours I am somewhat getting the idea that I might not have full "permission" to edit the files. Still haven't found any clear explanation or solution to this problem.
Help would be great!

HT204409 wifi greyed out

The wifi on my phone seems to have greyed out!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!!! This on the phone that i got after i got the old one replaced for the same reason!!!!! I visited the apple store and they said that its the logic board and that I will have to get a new phone and for that i'll have to call apple store . Apple care guys just keep transferring calls from one department to another!!!!

turn on airplane mode
turn phone off

put sim back in and turn phone on

hopefully you can get it to find a netwotk too.

Add grade layer greyed out

I'm in a direct link Pr project in Sg. Why are the add grade layers are greyed out?

This still isn't explained well ... so here goes.
In a Direct Link mode, you are using the Premiere Pro project file as the basis for all things done. It is a very different beast than a SpeedGrade project file, and in some ways amazing they can do this. However, there are some limits. SpeedGrade is NOT allowed to "touch" any timeline setting ... add, cut, or trim clips, add layers to a sequence, nothing. Hence what is natural to do in SpeedGrade in "native" mode is not allowed in Direct Link.
So ... the way to get grading layers is to create Adjustment Layers in PrPro, placing them over and across (if applicable) those clips of a sequence where you want to apply a grading layer. Then in Sg, you simply use that as your grading layer. It was a bit strange at first when the CC model came in, but I quickly learned to follow this. And when I forget to create one or discover I need one, it's a few seconds to go back to PrPro through the return-to-PrPro icon, create the layer/s, then DL back to Sg.
Of course, creating multiple layers on any track be it a clip or layer is the same ... the lower left corner layer stack is the typical Adobe-style process. And I do recommend creating additional primary, secondary, or " + " layers for nearly every different step of the process.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

I have a iphone 4s. Recently the wifi greyed out when i was on ios 7.0.4 and itunes said to update the phone to ios 8.0.2 to solve the problem. Today i did it and still wifi is greyed out. In the "About" under Settings, it shows N/A infront of wifi

i have an iphone 4s. Recently the wifi settings greyed out when i was using ios 7.0.4. When i connected it to itunes, it showed that update your iphone. At an apple forum they said that updating will solve this problem. I just updated it to 8.0.2 but still wifi is greyed out. In settings>general>about, there is an option of wifi address which shows N/A. What is the problem? Is is the hardware? Kindly guide me.

There are many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

Same here.... No fix. Replacing is the option apparently and if you're out of warranty, you're SOL. That was as per the "Genius" at Apple.

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!!!

I have just transferred my iTunes library from a hard drive previously connected to a windows laptop to a MacBook Pro and now all my options for editing info are greyed out. I have seen the answers if still using windows but could find a similar situation

if my external hard drive is not connected to either of my machines, and I download something onto my iMac and then something different onto my Macbook, where are my machines going to be storing the new downloaded media
when the drive is not connected, +iTunes media folder location+ will default back to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)
and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

Music is greyed out on iPod touch, it reads as empty, but files are still there?

Hi all,
I have a 32g iPod Touch that has never had a problem thus far.
Yesterday, I connected it as usual and went to play a song from the iPod via iTunes. The song played perfectly fine. I had the iPod on shuffle, and after that song was over, it went through every song and "greyed them out" with the symbol. I then unconnected it and reconnected it. On the iPod itself, it states that I have "no content." Yet all of the music files are *still there* when I reconnect the iPod, but they're greyed out.
I have reconnected/unconnected it numerous times (all safely) to try and figure this out. Sometimes, when I connect the iPod, the bar on the bottom of the information page shows that I have 24-ish gigs of music--which is correct. But out of nowhere, the bar will go back to saying that I only have apps and photos, no audio. I've restarted iTunes, restarted my computer, restarted the actual iPod--nothing helps.
I can't sync the entire library back to iTunes because I manually manage my songs and most of the music is on an external hard drive. I'm aware that this means that the songs are greyed out in iTunes because the actual file isn't there. However, this has never been a problem on the actual iPod before.
I updated my iPod to 5.1 earlier this week with no problems. I haven't added any new music to the iPod itself. I literally did nothing different from usual. I do have songs from other sources than iTunes, which could mean a corrupt file, but I didn't add anything new in the past week.
I'm aware that a restore would fix this, and I'm okay with doing that...however, I'm more concerned as to WHY this happened in the first place. The loss of files came out of nowhere, with no improper syncs or improper disconnects, no new music, no new updates and nothing new being done. I just don't want to put all of the songs back on the iPod and have this happen again.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. :]

I have deleted accounts via preferences Mail,Contacts etc however mailboxes still show in mail app and i am unable to delete them (Delete mailbox is greyed out)!

Hi,
Ive constantly had problems with mail app since upgrading to mountaion lion. 8/10 time i have to force quit mail but thats not the main problem. I have been trying to delete all my mailboxes however the "Delete Mailbox" option is always greyed out therefore I went to system preferences>Mail,Contacts..., then selected the accounts and clicked " - " and deleted the accounts successfully.
Weird thing is that the mailboxes still show in mail app. I have no accounts showing in preferences as i have deleted everything but when i open mail app, everything is still there.
Anyone have an idea, what is going here? Wish it could be like windows, just uninstall and install the app again -_-
Thanks in advance!

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

Faces Greyed out in iPhoto

I have gone through the current discussions looking for an answer but haven't been able to find a solution.
Since rebuilding my iPhoto library (15000+ photos) I have been unable to detect faces with newly imported photos - add a face is greyed out when you use the info box. Detect faces does not assist.
Thanks for your help in advance.

You've got a damaged library. Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If not then it is you old library that's the problem.
In that case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
Happy Holidays

After replacing wifi antenna wifi is still dimmed/greyed out. Bluetooth works fine. How do i fix this issue? Could there be another part that needs replacing?

my wifi was greyed out so I replaced the wifi antenna. I just put the new one in and restored the ipad but the wifi still is greyed out but the Bluetooth works fine. What could the problem be and how can I fix it?

This article offers some suggestions which may help: iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
This likely has nothing to do with your router.

If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby since this is a hardware problem.
