  • Ip4 email accounts greyed out.

    Ip4 email accounts greyed out, tried powering down and back up but still greyed out. This happened before installing ios 5, i was hoping it would clear it up.
    Strangely it installed iCloud account but I can't add new accounts or alter the fetch times - help appreciated in advance.

    Update,
    after chatting with Apple support (2 calls), gettingineffective advice to reset network settings, i ended up pressing "Reset All Settings".
    this cured the problem, retaining ios5 (thankfully), all my email accounts, data, apps etc (even more thankfully), i just had to re-insert WiFi key.
    hope this helps others with such a trcky glitch.

  • HT1766 How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, when my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, i jUst purchased?

    How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!

    If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
    Everything on the phone will be lost.
    You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

  • Recently Migrated Files - Mail Accounts Grey out Randomly

    I recently migrated files from an older Macbook running Tiger to a newer Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard. Now some of my email accounts grey out when I check email and the accounts that are grey are different each time! I can still retrieve email on the old computer so the problem is not my ISP or email provider. I have checked all the accounts and they appear to be the same as on the old computer. I did, however, re-enter all the info by hand just in case. I have run Connection Doctor and get different results every time even if I change nothing. Any clues?

    Update: I tried taking all my accounts offline and retrieving mail from only one account at a time. This DID seem to work but it's unacceptable to have to retrieve email this way. I have 8 accounts. But maybe the additional info will help someone troubleshoot.

  • Gmail account greyed out in mail

    I have a problem with my gmail account on my iPhone 5s, I've already had it with the iPhone 5 after installing iOS7 and recreating the mail accounts.
    I have two Gmail accounts in my mail app. The first account works perfectly. The second account is configured like the first one BUT after receiving mails the account (the whole account) is greyed out for about 10 to 15 minutes. The Gmail app itself works fine, it's just the problem with the iOS mail app.
    Does anybody know why this happens?

    Hi, I do have the same pb : entering the inbox of a specific account which greys out after first reading.
    I have no solution but There is a way around it : If you close the mail app and restart it, you can access back to the inbox and read your mail. But after checking another account it greys back again.
    I use gmail. I am wondering if an app I donwloaded and gave access to my gmail account did not mess up the gmail account itself. I checked in gmail and took off the authorization of this app. + deleted the app from Iphone. No change.
    Also if I add the mail account on antoher iphone or ipad the same problems comes back.
    I have more than 10 accounts on the iphone and only this one creates pb.

  • Apple TV doesn't see iphone add remote greyed out

    Hi There
    Wife just got a new iphone, I have it synced/paired to her PC's itunes and also paired to my imac itunes which has our music collection (not syncing just have music set to manage manually). Have downloaded the remote app and it connects wonderfully to my itunes and hers but I cannot add remote on our apple tv the option is greyed out on apple tv.......I have checked the wifi network is the same on all, checked the fire wall settings are correct and pretty much everything else. On the apple tv screen it says to start by downloading the remote app which just in case I have done to my imac as well.....I am wondering if my issue is because the itunes library that is streamed to the apple tv is different to the one that the iphone is synced to (ie her PC)........one thing I have noticed is that apple tv doesn't appear on the devices list on her PC.......not sure why this isn't working but its driving me nuts have looked all through the discussions and can't find a solution

    I'm not really sure what criteria is necessary for the remote option to show up on the tv, I'm surmising it's simply a fault (which I was hoping could be addressed by a restart). Another option would be a need for the tv to actually detect a wifi network before it enables this option, although mine works on an tv which is connected by ethernet and although that ethernet network is connected to a wifi network, I'm not sure the tv could know that.
    The problems you now seem to be experiencing seem to be network related, and I wonder if you are now experiencing interference. You could try changing your wifi broadcast channel to see if that helps.

She doesnt show on my buddylist as available even tho I am talking to her in instant message. Yet she shows up when I go to aol.com. I found where you said to delete that file in my library but am so new to the mac I want to be sure I am not doing the wrong thing. Delete the entire folder or the contents of the folder? And without trying to sound too stupid, how do I delete it? This thing is soooo different from my pc. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!

  • Email-only account greyed out

    An email-only account appears greyed-out in the LHS column in the Mail window. Hovering the cursor over the mailbox name produces a two-line pop-up error message as follows.
    Mail was unable to open this mailbox on the server "mail.mac.com".
    The server error encountered was: "Mailbox does not exist".
    I've checked in my .Mac account that our subscription is paid up to July and the email-only address is listed on the Manage Your Account screen. Can anyone help please?
    17 inch PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I have just posted this question as well and we have the same situation, an email only account.
    When I try to set up an iCloud account for my wife using her [email protected] address i'm always relogged on to iCloud with my details coming up.
    Do I have to delete my Mobileme account before setting her account up, if so does she still retain her  @mac.com address.

  • OSX Server Mobile Account Greyed out after initial setup?

    I just setup a new install of Mountain Lion on an iMac and installed Server.app to set it up as a server.  I activated Open Directory and configured it for a few users (with NFS mounted home directories from a Linux NFS server).  I then logged into the iMac with one of these users and it asked me if I wanted to make them a mobile user.  I did as this will activate the Portable Home Directory function.  It asked me what I would like to sync and then setup the user as normal.  Now the issue I have is with any subsequent login of that user if I go to the Users & Groups sys pref panel the Mobile Account "Configure" button is greyed out.  Syncing can still work from the menu bar pull down but I can no longer change any of my sync preferences.  I've gone through the settings in default read com.apple.homeSync but nothing in there seems to affect that button being greyed out.  To eliminate the NFS server as a possible cause I setup a local network user with local storage on the server and it acts the same way after setting up as a mobile account. Any ideas on what causes this?

    I solved this myself. The user ended up have a folder on his desktop that contained a backup home folder from an old powerbook that he was trying to save. It was a complete home folder, Documents, Library, etc and I thought it might be interfering with the sync of the normal home folder. So I created a folder called Bad Stuff in the home folder and copied the old powerbook home folder into it. Then opened up the Sync Settings and excluded the Bad Stuff folder from the sync. And it worked, the sync when fine and is resyncing fine.
    Hope that helps with other people with a similar problem.

  • [JS CS3] Why is menu item greyed out?

    Hello,
    I have the following script that works fine on both my Mac and PC. However, I have sent it two other people and both report the same problem that the menu item shows up in the menus but all the options are greyed out.
    I thought it might be a problem of the path but when I deliberately make a wrong path on my computer I get an error message telling me the path does not exist. The two other people get no such message so there may be another problem.

  • Why "TDM DSP Usage" greyed out?

    I'm using Logic Pro 7.1.0 on a G5 running OSX 10.4.2 with an HD3 system.
    I want to check my TDM DSP usage but it's "greyed out" in the Audio menu, non functional.. anybody know why?
    thanks
    Ed A

    Yes it is a Tiger/LP7 issue. I guess a was a little vauge..I meant: this is what's holding me back from upgrading my main rig to OS X 10.4.2
    I've not seen LAP 6.4.3 on a Tiger/TDM config yet, might be an issue there too..
    Truth is, LAP 6.4.3(native) is not great on my PB that's running 10.4.2.

  • Why is Contacts delete greyed out?

    I can not find a way to delete contacts. I select a name and there is no delete button. The delete under edit menu is greyed out.

    I hope not, I have no facebook account. I'm just using Apple's application, "Contacts".
    Here is a message from the terminal when I press the [delete] key when a name/card is selected from within Contacts.
