my incoming mail server is gray in its space and won't let me enter anything? i can't get my incoming mail on my mac computer? what do i do so I can reenter the incoming mail server information? the rest of my preference screen is black and can be changed?

I did have the same problem this morning, but after several attempts o deleting and creating a new account, it started working again.
I think they were doing some changes in iCloud and that created several problems last night and today.

When I try to erase my hard drive by using the disk utility, the format is in gray and won't let me erase. What do I do?

Ive got an iMac with bootcamp on it. Recently my computer has slowed down and I want to restore it to factory settings. The format says mac osx extended (journaled), but its in grey. Also, the security options and erase buttons are gray. The only button I am able to press is "Erase Free Space." I have a feeling that i might have to delete my bootcamp partition first. What do I do?

To erase the OSX on your harddisk you have to boot your Mac from the OSx Install DVD that came with your Mac.
You can't erase the OSx from which your Mac is booted.

To copy an arrangement section - verse, chorus etc - I click the verse or chorus I want to copy/move in the arrangement line. But when I open the edit tab the copy/cut options are gray and won't let me do it. Same w/command 'C' and 'V'.
Also, how do I send a song from my MacBook GB to my iPad GB so I can utilize the Smart Instruments in my song.

Use the alt key to create a copy of an Arrange section by dragging it.

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

Post to Firefox forum; Oct.2011
Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).

Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
thanks for any help.

Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

HT5517 I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about.

You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud. Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

Pop up is in safari from a third party website and won't let me do anything in safari unless I click on it. I don't want to click on it because it is probably a virus. I hae tried restarting safari and also the computer, but it's still there.

Thomas' answer is the preferred technique. Sometimes, these pop-ups will block you from quitting Safari. In that case, press option+command+esc, select Safari, and Force Quit. Then, use the shift key with Safari when relaunching it, per Thomas' suggestion.

Hook it up to your computer and open itunes. try to download hte apps via your computer. Every time you update hte software you have to reagree to the itunes terms of service. Sometimes it's hard to get it to come up on the device, but is easier on a computer.

IMac 21.5 inch mid 2010 the beach ball comes out and won't let me do anything

As soon as I login to my iMac, the beachball comes out and won't let me do anything. I can't even force quit or shut down computer.

Insert your original install disc and start up while holding the C key. Choose your language and at the next screen instead of starting the installer go to the menu bar on top and click the Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. See if you can repair your hard drive. Also while you're in DU look towards the bottom of the window and check the SMART status of your hard drive, it needs to say verified.

My ipod has been accessed from another ipod and now it won't let me download anything what do i do

my ipod account has been accessed from another ipod and now it won't let me download anything...What Do I do?

Not sure what you are talking about.
Your ITUNES account can be accessed from any device or computer that has itunes, as long as you have your username and password. Using your itunes account from another device does not affect your ability to use the account from your device.
What is the issue?
You tried to do what?
And what was the result?
Error message?
What did it say?
What have you tried?
