  • How do I revert to abackup from time machine? The backups prior to Lyon install are not available  - restore button is not active. I wish to return to Snow Leopard.

    How Do I revert to Snow Leopard from Lyon?
    The backups prior to Lyon install are not available... the restore button is not active.
    thanks!

    You need to do a full system restore from your last Snow Leopard backup.

  • HT1688 I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active.

    I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active. What is that mean?

    Razmee,
    Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
    When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
    So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
    Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
    I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone.

  • HT3149 iPhoto 09 When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into edit, it shows up black and the edit buttons are not active.  How do I fix that?

    When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into the edit pane, there is no image just a black square and the edit buttons are not active. A few images in an event will move to the edit pane but most will not.  I cannot work with those images that do not enter the edit pane..no attaching to email, make a card, slideshow, etc.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I get "an error has occured" when trying to download from the AppStore.  I can not re-download as the button is not active.

    I encountered the response "an error has occured" when I downloaded Maverick X from the App Store.  I can not try to re-download as the download button is not active.  I have tried rebooting and to get the download from apple.com but it keeps redirecting to the App Store.
    Suggestions?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    It sounds like you are in the Elements Organizer that came with your version of Premiere Elements.
    That ? in the top left corner of the thumbnail indicates a file that is no longer in the hard drive save location as it was
    when a copy of the file was included in the Elements Organizer.
    1. Do you know that the file(s) still exist? Could you have moved, deleted, or renamed file/folder involved? Can you go
    to the hard drive save location for the file and actually find it there?
    If you are working with Photoshop Elements instead of Premiere Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. In that case, please post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

    Hi Jay,
    Just try removing the matching field or field combinations as you have used and Select them again.
    Sometime resetting the matching field tab the import action is enabled.
    Also check if you have selected the correct Import action like Create for new records and Update or Replace for existing records.
    Check on these two areas matching field and import action.
    Hope It Helped
    Thanks & Regards

  • "Copy To" Button isn not active in A/R Invoice + Payment form

    I want to create A/R Credit Memo from the A/R Invoice + Payment form but the "Copy To" button is not active. Kindly help me.
    Regards
    Farhan

    Hi Farhan,
    the invoice is closed because it had been paid completely, therefore there is no follow-on transaction.
    In version 2007 you can cancel the payment. This will re-open the invoice & you may then use that as a base document for the cerdit note.
    All the best,

    Hello cjtulowiecki,
    You’re having problems with the computer not booting sometimes.
    Do a hard reset.
    Power off the computer.
    Remove the power cable and the battery.
    Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
    This should reset the hardware in the computer.
    Next test all the hardware in the system.
    As you power it back on tap the F2 key. This will load hardware diagnostics.
    Run the startup test.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • SQLDeveloper 3.2.20.09. Package body button is not active.

    SQLDeveloper version: 3.2.20.09
    OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
    JDK: jdk1.6.0_35 (Oracle)
    To be short and precise, there is a bug introduced with the latest SQLDeveloper release: the "Open Body" button in the package specification editing worksheet is inactive (greyed out) when the package opened for the first time (http://imm.io/KxbO) and is normal when opened for the second time and so on (http://imm.io/KxcE).
    Steps to reproduce the bug:
    1. (Re)connect to the DB
    2. Open "Packages" in the object tree
    3. Double click any package, that has a package body - this will open the package specs
    4. See the inactive "Open Body" button
    5. Close the package specs
    6. Repeat step 3.
    7. See active "Open Body" button
    Does anyone has the same problem? Is it a bug? Any workarounds to eliminate it?
    P.S. Terminal output is totally empty:

    Hello Arino,
    On the Windows 3.2.20 version I can reproduce the bug.
    The 3.2.10 and 3.1 version works ok.
    Workaround: open the body in the connection window by double clicking the body. Close the Spec tab and open the spec tab by clicking the 'Open Spec' button in the body.
    Best regards,

  • Mail v. 6.0, the to, cc, bcc buttons are NOT active when I want to email to a group.

    In my previous mail versions I was able to send emal to a chosen group, now these buttons are inactive and I must click on each person to send the mail too, very tedious.  How do I get these buttons active again without having to go back to previous versions of mail or address book?

    On your composing window, right click (cntl click) the toolbar and select customize. Drag the show address icon up to the toolbar (looks like a person).   Click the icon and it gives you contacts and groups.  Double click the group and it will fill in.
