How do I remove a user? ( the name is greyed out and has a check next to it )
I cannot remove a user ( my wife ) from my Macbook. I go to Sys. Pref, Accounts, and unlock the lock ( I'm the Admin ). I'm able to click on and highlight the guest account but that's not what I want to delete. My wife's user name is greyed out and it has a check mark by it. I'm unable to highlight it so that I can remove it. There's gotta be a simple fix, right? Please help. Thanks, Michael K.
Which version of Mac OS X?
To delete a printer you have to select the printer (on the left), then click the - (minus sign). Which part of this is greyed out?

cc2014,
Have you selected an image?
Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Hi, I am trying to download IOS7 (not sure if it's 1 or 2) to my ipad. The programme has locked at the 'Choose a Wif-Fi network' page, a box says 'joining other network' but the page is greyed out and can't move from it. How can I clear this screen and finish the download. Thanks
Hello Den53,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Best of luck,

Does anyone know how to unlock an itouch once the password is locked out and it cannot be connected to the original iTunes computer to reset it?

you will need to put the ipod into Recovery mode and then Restore as new to bypass the password -
I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.
So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
hope others find this useful. -
Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..
So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful. -
I am having problems loading sampler patches into the exs24 sampler, when i got into edit menu and load multiple samples all the samples r greyed out and i cannot slect them, any help with this would be much appreciated
It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

My Wifi has completely gone, the option on the slider is greyed out, and the slider won't slide. Tried all the fixes on the forums, (except the fridge/frezzer method), none work. Grrrrr! This has been an issue since installing new IOS! How long will it take apple to come up with a fix. My carrier offered me an early upgarde at a massively inflated monthly cost (how kind of them!).

I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in
Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

My iPad has not been dropped or damaged at all. The screen is grey fuzzy and has coloured lines down the middle. iPad 3 also.
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
If these fail, then:

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas?
Thanks,
IanIf you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

About three days ago my ipod said i needed to sync and so i did . when i did it stop working and the wifi is grey out and says no wifi . Ive tried rebooting it , reseting , restarting but nothing seems to work . Can anybody help me ? Please !
Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information -
My iphone 4s will not connect to networks. the button is greyed out and cannot turn on. I have reset the network settings and it still does not work - any ideas?
Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem. I just updated to 8.1.3 - I thought the update might fix it.
