Greyed out number

When I go to send & receive under messages in settings my phone number is all grey and I can't click on it. Therefore my iMessage isn't working. Please help me!!

Your number will always be grayed out. If you click on the "Send and Receive" section, you should be able to enter your Apple ID at the top. This will allow your various associated email addresses to be used as iMessage recipients as well.
P.S.
Your phone number I believe is the default account associated to the specific device you are using, and perhaps are not allowed to change it. Hope this helps.

Imessage on Mac has my wifes phone number and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number (on the beta version of iMessage for the mac)

hey-- so iMessage on ONE computer has my wifes phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number. any ideas? ive done what people have suggested on these forums, e.g., check your apple id make sure your number is associated with it etc. how do i change the iMessage number from my wifes to my actual number? thanks!

HI,
This can depend on the the Apple ID that is used.
I was under the impression that the invididual parts of an iCloud ID could be "registered" separately for iMessages but this may not be correct.
I have an Apple ID that is based on a email from a source external to Apple. (an old Dial-up account email)
I registered this for iCloud and at the time got an @me.com name as well.
I also have two iPhones so I decided to use the @me.com name on one iPhone and the older Dial-up on the other.
This seemed to work up to the OS X10.8.2 and iOS 6 updates.
AT this points I did the OS X one first then the iPhones
I got alerts in Messages on the Mac to add the Dial-up ID iPhone's number to Messages which I accepted.
The Messages Menu > Accounts > iMessages showed the iPhone Number as an alternative Receive ID and offered itself in the Drop as the Send from ID.
I then set up the second iPhone and got an alert in Messages to add the Apple ID and the iPhone number to Messages.
I said no to this.
At iOS 6 this did not get added to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessage panel.
However at iOS 6.0.2 the iPhones are showing their own Numbers as Greyed out and even though I refused again the @me.com ID and second iPhone's Number they have been added to the Message Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages pane although they are not ticked.
The only link these two Apple ID Names have is that they are both associated with the iCloud Account.
(I Can log in to the same iTunes account with either name, and post here, and access iCloud in a web browser - the password is the same).
I have successfully managed to get one iPhone to have it's greyed out Number ticked so it can accept iMessages sent to the Number.
This involved removing the Apple ID on that iPhone, Closing iMessages, restarting iMessages and then re-adding the Apple ID
I did get an alert to say the ID would not work anywhere in iMessages when removing it.
It was 24 hours before I got an alert in Messages again to add the iPhone Number and Apple ID (I said no and they are not active but do show in the iMessage account on the Mac)
I am a little confused by this bit:-
...ONE computer has my wife's phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out ...
I can see the iPhone Numbers in Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts >iMessages Account pane but they are not greyed out even when not active
They are only greyed out on the iPhone's themselves.
I would also make sure the Apple IDs used on each computer and it's related iPhone are separate from each other.

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone number but only from my email address. When I go to the settings for my imessages to choose where they are coming from my phone number is greyed out....Is there a way to fix this

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone....

Hi Chas869,
Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!

PA30 - Personnel Number field greyed out - No input help available.

Hi Experts,
In our System in DEV, & Quality in PA30, we are unable to select employees either by directly giving the number (greyed out) or by selecting through F4 (No input help is available).
But in Production System we can directly give Pernr or select through F4.
Any body tell me what is the reason behind this.
Thanks in advance.
Samanvita.

Hi Hariprasath,
It is not the issue with NUMKR, The number Ranges are already maintained, and are defaulted in NUMKR feature.
This is showing same in DEV / QA/ Prod.
Issue is in DEV / QA, The Personnel Number Field is Greyed out, and not able to select any number.
For that we are going to PA20, open the personnel number first, and open PA30 in another window, then we are changing the data of the employee.
But we want to give Personnel Number in PA30 itself as per SAP Standard.
Any Idea, why it is like this.
Thanks,
Samanvita

IMessage not selecting my phone number, its "greyed" out.

I have an iPhone 4S and it was on a monthly 02 contract but I have not terminated my contract with O2. I had my iPhone unlocked so I could use it on any network. I now have a Vodafone sim card in the phone and am on PAYG. However my iMessage is not working properly. When I try to active my iMessage my phone number is "greyed" out so I cannot send messages via my mobile number ...so can only send text messages. I did use the Vodafone sim card in my iPhone whilst my number was being ported across so it did have a temporary number. However, now my original number has been ported across I can no longer select it under iMessage as it is "greyed" out.
How do I resolve this?

I tried trouble shootings step by step but still stack in same way...` any suggestion ?

TS4268 My iMessage is "greyed" out, meaning I cannot sent messages from my phone number, only my email

My iMessages won't sent from my phone number , they go from my email . It shows my phone number as a option but I am unable to choose it as it is greyed out ... I dot know how to fix this to be able to send iMessages normally.

Hey Audreykr,
Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is not checked and greyed out in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. It sounds like iMessage may have not activated correctly. You can attempt to toggle iMessage off, and back on. If your issue is still not resolve, see this article:

Where is the phone number on the iPod?
If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
For some info see:

Imessage will ONLY have option to send from email. Phone number is greyed out... Please help

Hi,
I have tried all of the tips and tricks for getting my imessage to send from my phone number, not my email but I am not having any luck.
The option in the message settings has my phone number greyed out and my apple ID has my phone number stored. I am not sure why this is happening and would really appreciate the help.
All imessages sent to me do not get to my phone because it seems to be disabled.

Hi Myf!
I have an article for you here that can help provide you with troubleshooting steps for this issue:

The number of rows per page is greyed out when running in background?

Hi,
For a customized transaction the number of rows per page cannot be set when running in background.
While a background job is created in SM36 after entering the report name and the selection variant name in the properties of Format the rows and columns field is greyed out.It was not editable.
Is there any settings to be done or in the custom program any code change needs to be done?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sharon.

Hi Gabriel,
After double clicking the format only the rows field is not set to edit.It was greyed out.Is it anything related to the printer settings that will be maintained for a user?

Grey out Project/WBS number

Hi,
The Project definition/WBSE number in Project Systems is greyed out once the
project/WBSE is released. In that case, you could use activity type 45 for authorization objects C_PRPS* or C_PROJ* to provide authorization to change these numbers.
But, how do I grey out the PD/WBSE number immediately after the PD/WBSE is created? Can I do it through authorizations or a user status? I tried looking through the field selection for PD and WBS, but the PD and/or WBSE number are not part of the selections there. Any suggestion would be greatly helpful and rewarded through points.
Thanks!
Venkat.

Hi Satish,
With the validations you cannot get your requeriment only you can get this field cannot be editable ( but not greyed), due to valiations works after you are in the screen.
I am not sure how to get this, check WBS BAdi there is a method 'before save' I don't know if you can develop here to grey the field.

Sara

Why is my phone number greyed out with no check mark in Messages under Settings?

Why is my phone number greyed out with no check mark in Messages under Settings?

The number for the iPhone is grayed out but if no check mark under you can be reached by iMessage at, can you select the number below start new conversations from?

Aperture import plug-in won't run. After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out. Any thoughts?

Others have the same issue, with the import button being grayed out. My trail copy expired, but I believe by poking around in the options and selecting another Aperture library and re-selecting, I was able to continue.
The problem is common enough, that hopefully Adobe will address. In the mean time, try repairing your Aperture library, checking permissions, exporting a subset of your library for a test, or try putting that library subset on an external drive. (Can usually avoid permissions issues.)
