How do I clear history when the clear history button is greyed out

How do I clear my history on the iPhone 5 when clear history is greyed out?

Hi there bradkeithhyde,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

How Can I Download Podcasts When The Get Episode Button is Grayed Out?

I can purchase and download songs from the itunes store with no problem. When I attempt to download a podcast, however, I am unable to do so. The Get Episode button in the Price Column is grayed-out. This "gray-out" occurs with ALL podcasts, not just one or two podcasts. I uninstalled itunes and Quicktime from Windows and reinstalled it, but that hasn't solved the problem.
Any ideas?

Go to... Edit > Preferences > Parental Control
Make sure you don't have "Disable Podcasts" selected.
If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to tell you.

How to stop video/animation when the back/continue button is pressed

hi! we are currently playing some of our videos via SWF. the swfs are placed on the slides and automatically play. Next and back buttons were added for navigation. One thing though is that when the next and back buttons are pressed to go to the next slide(even when the video in the swf is not yet finished) the swf still plays in the background. how do you set the triggers for this? thanks!
by the way, we used flvplayback component in flash as3. so flash publishes both the flvplayback skin swf and the main swf of the FLA file. Then on Captivate's side, after zipping, we included the swf files there

Yup, in the swf animation I placed some lines of code to make the slide pause but in my case since I'm playing a video on my swf pausing the slide doesn't pause the video.
myRoot = MovieClip(root);
mainmov = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
mainmov.rdcmndPause = 1;
The code above will pause the slide. You can try if it works for you.

How do I sync to more than one photograph folder on my pc. The selected folders button is greyed out.

I am trying to add some pictures from my son's wedding to both ipads. I cannot put different folders on as the ipads are only allowing one folder. Very frustrating, help appreciated.

Where are the folders on your computer that you are trying to sync ? If they are directly underneath the folder that you have selected at the top of the Photos tab then the 'selected folders' option should not be greyed out - is that where the photos that you are trying to sync located on your computer ?

The wi-fi button is greyed out

When i'm in settings on my iPhone 4S and go to the wi-fi menu, the button to turn on the wi-fi is greyed out. How do i fix it? I have tried reinstalling the the last update, but with no result...

Upon opening a new window, Firefox 9.0.1 gives me a "Go to a website" message in the location bar, regardless of what site I'm at and doesn't display the URL I am looking at, and the stop/reload button is greyed out. Is there a way to fix this?

I am running Firefox 9.0.1 in a windows 7 environment. This is a problem that I had with Firefox 8, as well, though it was only when I opened my home page, not any new window.
I prefer new window viewing to tabbed viewing and when I click a link to and a new browser window opens, all of my basic control buttons (forward, backward, stop/reload) are greyed out except home.

Hi,

Managing add-ons: The "find updates" button is grey-out on the Extensions tab. How can I get it to work?

At some point, it used to work, then, one-day (after an update?), it went grey and stayed that way. It still works friends who have FF 3.6.16 installations, but not for me. I've tried tweaking the profile, a new profile, and tweaking about:config (under direction), but naught helped.
Any ideas? (An update to FF4 is not in the cards at this time, by the way.)

HT201272 Trying to reinstall app and the install button is greyed out.

Have been trying to install an app that was purchased on a previous phone and was subsequently deleted. I am trying to get it on my new phone as I would now like to use it, it says install but when I click install button is greyed out and it won't download

Hi, I also have the same problem.
Yesterday, my Iphone 4s cannot detect the home wifi. My laptop does, my neigbor's phone and laptop can detect and connect to our home wifi. I tried to reset the network settings and all but it is can't detect the wifi. I realized, my problem has something to do with ios7 (well, I am not really sure if that is the cause of my wifi problem) I havent updated my phone to ios7 since it was launched.
Now, I am trying to update my iphone 4s to ios7 just to see if that would solve the wifi problem/issue I have with my iphone but the INSTALL and DOWNLOAD option is greyed out due to the weak internet connection we have with our network. I cannot also use wifi, of course because my iphone 4s cannot even detect our home wifi. Is there any other option/s I can do?
Please help me.

Our Mini IPad shows a window box that states we have not backed up our I cloud in 9 weeks. Plug in with internet service. That screen is froze. When you hit connect it does nothing. I tired to shut down, but power off button is greyed out so not an optio

Our I-Pad has never connected with our wireless internet from since we got it. Our laptop connects just fine and we have a strong signal. We now have a locked screen stated that I-cloud has not been backed up in 9 weeks. Plug into internet? However when you click the button to try to get to the internet it does nothing. The power off button is greyed out so not an option to shut down. Just froze on that screen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated:)
Thank you in advance.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My password lock cannot be turned off (button is greyed out and does not react) and I cannot set to "simple" password (4 digits) for the same reason (button greyed out)

Today, I got a message from my iphone 4 telling me that my password was expired and that I had to change it.
Now I am forced to enter a 8 character long password and I cannot turn off the password lock (button is greyed out and does not react) and I cannot change to "simple" code.
I am so upset that I am considering throwing the bloody thing to the rubbish bin
Can you help?

Have a work Exchange account on your phone? These policies can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone. There is nothing you can do to change this except delete the Exchange account.

In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

Thank you so much for your reply . . . but . . . I should have shared my original script with you -- it was a little more complicated than I led you to believer. I was triggering a group of text fields to become disabled as well as gray. Below is the original script so that when the checkbox is checked, it causes several "Co" fields to be disabled and gray.
// Mouse Up script for check box
// If checked, certain fields should be disabled
var f_prefix = "Co";
// Get a reference to all of the "Co" fields
var f = getField(f_prefix);
// Reset the Co fields
resetForm([f_prefix]);
if (event.target.value === "Off") {
    // Enable the Co fields
    f.readonly = false;
    f.fillColor = color.transparent;
} else {
    // Disable the Co fields
    f.readonly = true;
    f.fillColor = color.gray;
To recap -- my goal is to get those gray fields to revert to transparent if the form is reset. I'm willing to create my own custom "Reset Form" button but I'm not sure I understand how that would look. Wouldn't it be quite lengthy? I think I'm having a brain freeze -- can't figure it out!

A few weeks ago I cleared the history in safari. Since that time it no longer records any new history and the "clear history" tab looks to be frozen. Have tried shutting down, nothing helps. Advice please.

A few weeks ago I cleared the history on my iPad. Since then it has not recorded any new history and the "clear history" tab looks like it is frozen in place. I have shut down the iPad several times, checked to make sure I have the latest update and read everything I can find about history. It tells me how to clear history but there is nothing that addresses what to do if it doesn't record history since the last time it was cleared. Can someone help me please? Thank you.

- Resset the iPad. Nothing is lost
Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Do you have Private Browings turned on in Settings>Safari?

I can't delete my history. The "clear recent history" tab in tools is inactive.

That probably means that you are in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing"
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Restore Session no longer works properly, the window shows as blank, and the restore button is greyed out. On the history tab, the three associated links are also greyed out and unusable. How do I restore functionality?

Just as the question says, I get a restore session tab whenever I open Firefox, but it no longer shows my tabs, and the Restore button is greyed out. If I open and then close a side, it no longer shows up in the "recently closed tabs" in the History menu. "restore previous session" and "Recently closed windows" are also greyed out.
I'd like this function to work correctly again.

Make sure that you do not use Clear History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

You can backup the bookmarks on the old computer and create a JSON or HTML backup and restore or import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
You can use an USB stick to transfer the saved bookmarks file to the new computer.<br />
You can also copy the places.sqlite file from that computer to have the bookmarks and the history.
