How to repair grayed out Toolbar in Preview?

I can’t open grayed out Toolbar in Preview (6.0.1). I have done the following: trashed the com.apple.finder.plist file, repaired permissions, relaunched finder, logged out and logged in. Any other suggestions?

To activate the toolbar items a document must be open in Preview. Don't you have this under the File menu?

Disk utility says repair needed but repair grayed out

I ran a disk utility verification, which indicated that repair was necessary. However the repair option was grayed out. How do I effect a repair?

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Disk Utility/verify and repair grayed out, using startup disk

I'm frustrated. I'm trying to repair my hard drive. I restarted from the OS X Mac Mini install CD (holding down the letter C when I heard the chime), opened Disk Utility from the Utilities folder, selected my hard drive image, but the "verify disk" and "repair disk" options are grayed out. I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. Thanks for any help.

"...opened Disk Utility from the Utilities folder,..."
If that's what you did then you didn't boot from the disk. You booted from your hard drive and that's why Repair Disk was grayed out. Try again. Insert the disk into the Mac restart and hold down the 'c' key and keep it down until you see the Apple logo and the spinning cog. You'll know you've booted to the installer disk when you need to select your language to proceed with OS installation. Select your language and then from the menu Utilities select Disk Utility.

How to mapped Gray out field in web dynpro for ABAP.

Hi,
While preparing a WD Application i m using a RFC,which has one input parameter as MODE.
IF MODE = 'DIS' (DIS stands for Display) then all fields of layout in web dynpro should be gray out.
and
IF MODE = 'MOD' (MOD stands for Modification) then all fields of layout in web dynpro should be opened of entering the data.
Can anyone help me to solved this scenario.
Regards,
<b>Seema</b>

Hi Seema
I had the same issue a while ago. I ended up with an assistance class with set/get read only methods. I then used the following type code to set the read only property in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW:
DATA: lr_start_date TYPE REF TO cl_wd_input_field,
        lr_end_date TYPE REF TO cl_wd_input_field,
        lr_pernr TYPE REF TO cl_wd_input_field,
        lv_read_only TYPE abap_bool.
lr_start_date ?= view->get_element( 'INP_START_DATE' ).
lr_end_date ?= view->get_element( 'INP_END_DATE' ).
lr_pernr ?= view->get_element( 'INP_PERSON' ).
lv_read_only = wd_assist->get_read_only( ).
IF lv_read_only = abap_true.
    lr_end_date->set_read_only( abap_true ).
    lr_start_date->set_read_only( abap_true ).
    lr_pernr->set_read_only( abap_true ).
ELSE.
    lr_end_date->set_read_only( abap_false ).
    lr_start_date->set_read_only( abap_false ).
    lr_pernr->set_read_only( abap_false ).
ENDIF.
All my business logic is within my assistance class so it makes it easier to maintain.

How to fix grayed out songs in Itunes that are supposed to be matched with Itunes Match!

I have deleted a few songs that have the cloud symbol in Itunes Match; however, they are now grayed out and I can't play them from the cloud or download them. Can anyone offer any ideas? I was doing this to test whether it is matching correctly and now the songs are listed with the cloud symbol and down arrow in Itunes; however, they are unable to be played (they are just gray). Please help!

iTunes has a feature that drops leading articles (a/an/the and regional equivalents) for sorting purposes. This enables "The Beatles" to be sorted under B instead of T, a converntion that most people are used to. The greyed out text shows this current autosort value. If you delete the text it will be regenerated. If you try to put in something like a space you will interfere with the proper action of the sort. However you can put "The Beatles" in if you really want them sorted under T. It is important to use sorting values consistently and not not try to give different things the same sort value as this causes problems. You can hide the column if you have no need to review the information in it.

How can i delete grayed out songs?

I am having an issue with grayed out songs. I have no idea on how to delete grayed out songs on my iphone and they are just taking up space. How can i delete them?

They are not on the iphone in the first place. It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone. If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

How can I "repair disk" with Repair disk grayed out?

My external back-up has been complaining of late, Time Machine can no longer access it, and now, after trying Verify Disk, it stopped that process and told me to use Repair Disk.
Repair Disk is grayed out. But my WD unit isn't even six months old.
Where do I turn?

I found a Grab of part of the response from Verify Disk.
If that's impossible to read, (1) blame Apple and (2) let me know -- I'll punch it up.

How to remove bit Defender Anti-Phishing Toolbar 2.0, tools grayed out.

I have tried to remove Bit Defender Anti=Phishing Toolbar 2.0 from the Tools menu but the removal button is grayed out. Is there a way to remove it manually? I no longer use Bit Defender, it is removed from my computer. I am using Firefox 3.6.11. I am using Windows XP Home Edition.

Do you still have a BitDefender directory in program folders, usual location is C:\Program Files\BitDefender\
If the directory still exists, the uninstall did not complete fully. BitDefender recommend downloading the uninstaller and running it again. You can get the uninstaller from http://www.bitdefender.com/uninstall
If that does not work, you can try manually removing the toolbar. Do you have a folder called C:\Program Files\BitDefender\BitDefender 2009\FFToolbar
The "BitDefender 2009" part will vary depending on the version of BitDefender installed. If that still exists try deleting the contents of the FFToolbar folder.
BitDefender is likely to have added an entry to the Windows Registry, if you are happy with editing the registry you can remove the entry, for details see the "Windows registry extension" section of http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons
'''Warning: Only edit the registry if you know what you are doing, making an error in the registry can cause serious problems with Windows, it may even prevent Windows from starting.'''

Why are my header icons and toolbar buttons grayed out?

I purchased a used Macbook Pro from ebay. Appeared to be in good working order when I first started working with it, but I have updated from OS X 10.9.2 to 10.9.5 and downloaded Open Office program, set up my mail and went through the system preferences and personalized it. Also ran disk utilities. Then, this AM, when I restarted, the header icons on the right side are grayed out except for the battery %, the date and time and notifications. Also, in mail and safari, the toolbar buttons are blank (forward, back, print, mail, bookmarks, autofil, history and downloads). What happened? I went to the disk utility from the recovery partition (repaired disk and disk permissions). I also reset parameters. Don't know what to do next. Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but I am assuming it is software (OS X) related at this point. Please help.

Sign in to download from the App Store screen has the wrong Apple ID- grayed out. How can I change it?

When I have a software update notification and I go to the 'Updates" tab of the App Store and click 'update', the flash screen 'Sign in to download from the App Store comes up the the Apple ID is wrong and grayed out so I can't change it. Where is the bogus Apple ID stored? How can I 'ungray' it to make it editable?

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

How do I backup my MacBook Pro when the disk image is grayed out?

I have a MacBook Pro (15 inc. four years old) running OSX 10.6.8 and last night I got the color pinwheel of death. I could not force quit anything and had to manually power down.
When I powered back up I got the folder with the question mark. I ran Disk Utility and tried to Repair Disk, but I got:
Disk Utility stopped repairing "diskOs2"
...Back up as many of your files as possible
Details: Invalid B-tree node size
The volume could not be verified completely
Volume repair complete
Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk, Back up... at the disk, and restore your backed-up files
I hooked up an external hard drive and tried to make a copy of the disk image, but it is grayed out. I also tried to partition the main Hitachi drive and make a "New Image" but I got: "Unable to create backup (input/output error)
So I now have a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow, but I can't even back up my computer before going. I can have them tell me what to do, but then I'll have to go home and do it, and then make a second appointment.
Any suggestions? Oh, and I backed up this computer about six weeks ago on Time Machine, but I'd love to make a copy of all new files I've created since then.
Thanks!

You have two options. Purchase Disk Warrior or erase the drive. The former would require your ability to install a download of DW on a bootable disk so you could repair your hard drive. And, DW costs $99.00. The latter requires a Snow Leopard installer DVD from which you can boot, erase the hard drive, then reinstall Snow Leopard. Then download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can then restore from your Time Machine backup. There is no way now for you to backup files unless you can access the drive. Open Disk Utility, select the entry for your disk volume then click on the Mount icon in the toolbar. If your volume mounts on the Desktop then you may be able to copy files to an external drive or even run a Time Machine backup.

Repair Disk Permissions is Grayed Out

I have a 2011 iMac with an internal SSD as the boot and another internal 2TB drive. I was working with an HTML file but was unable to display any JPGs/PNGs file in any of the browsers correctly. The files are located on the 2TB drive. I think this could be a permissions issue. If I copy and access those same files on the boot drive instead, the JPGs/PNGs displayed fine via HTML. I launched Apple's Disk Utility and when I select the 2TB, both Permissions buttons are grayed out. The Verify and Repair Disk buttons are working fine. I ran those anyway. No problems there.
So why are both Permissions buttons grayed out for the internal 2TB and how can I fix this?

Thanks for clarifying. I am still trying figure out what is it about the internal SSD boot drive and the 2TB drive that seems to interfere with displaying the pixel base files. This is the scenario.
I am following a tutorial on Lynda.com called "Design the Web: Illustrator to Animated HTML5 Canvas." I am using a plug in called Ai2CanvasMac with Adobe Illustrator, It essentially generates an HTML file from an Illustrator file. The Illustrator file has an embedded PNG file as a background image and a small vector graphic in front and centered. After the plug-in generates the HTML file, it automatically opens the file up in the browser. This is where I am getting mixed results.
If the files I am working with are on the 2TB, the PNG does not display in any of the browser correctly. If I work with the same files on the SSD boot drive. The PNG displays fine.
Any ideas what could be the problem?

Grayed out repair permissions in disk first aid

on a large external drive which once was read/write is now read only in 10.5
permissions read:
user(Me) Read&Write - false info
(unknown) Read&Write
everyone Read&Write - false info
ignore ownership is checked
the internal and system drive appear clean of this issue
other posts mention how directories within the internal get this bug but it seems no one is having an external permissions issue.
i am.
i've tried:
disk utility but repair permissions is grayed out for that drive whether from the install disk boot or the internal.
various unix solutions but all return a "denied" statement
creating accounts with a 80 GID as well as assorted system and admin groups
attaching the drive to a mac running 10.4 but permissions arent accepting changes there either.
now i know some of you are thinking back off the drive and initialize it.
you're right but it is sizable and would be costly in time and hardware to manage that.
so it seems a matter of running a repair on permissions would be best...
but how to enable the option?

In general whatever the problem it is NOT a good idea to run DU file permissions on an external drive. Permissions only apply to the active OS on the active drive.
If the external drive is a bootable system, then you can run the proper DU on it, but only when it is the actual system.
