Cannot quit safari 5.1.10. Quit option is grayed out on the menu. Any idea why this happening?

Press Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard to force quit Safari.
If that doesn't work, use the Activity Monitor as noted here > OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
It may be due to malware, or incompatible Safari extensions or plug-ins.

HT6437 My itunes cannot locate my ipod. All the sync option are grayed out and diagnostics says that itunes cannot find usb ports and that no device is connected when it is. What should I do to solve this issue?

So itunes is giving me problems. Since around Christmas time, itunes decided to stop reading my ipod. I connect it to my computer with the usb cable and my computer will recognize that a device is connected but itunes will not. If I go to file->devices and try to sync, all of my sync options are grayed out, while before it would just automatically sync.
When I run diagnostics it tells me that under ports that it cannot find usb ports (it has a green circle?), a type of cable isn't found, and that no device is connected with the usb cable (which my ipod is). I have been trying to fix this issue but nothing is working. I've tried restarting my ipod, itunes, and my computer, i've also tried resetting my ipod and uninstalling itunes then reinstalling itunes but nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Do the USB ports work for other devices?
Does the iPod charge?
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out, as well as the "Open" option. I have removed Kaspersky to sure.

I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out. Cannot right-click on the files to open. File does not appear in the targeted folder. If "opened," the files provide an error message. Issue is primarily with MS Word.

If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location. 
It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox. 
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work. 
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari, Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari

Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari

Try these things first:
1) See if the Safari icon in the Dock is linked to the Safari application. Command-click on it and see if it shows Safari in the Applications folder. If not, the alias on the Dock is corrupted, or it is no longer pointing to where Safari is (hopefully, Safari is still in the Applications folder).If Safari is in the Applications folder, but the Dock icon did not properly find it, remove the old icon from the Dock and drag Safari onto the Dock to establish a fresh icon and link to the Application. If Safari cannot be found, do a Spotlight search for it, or restore it from a Time Machine backup (if you have one). If not, download it and reinstall it.
2) If you can locate Safari from the Dock and it still won't launch, then trash Safari's preference file. From your Finder, Option-click on the Go menu and scroll to select the Library folder. Open the Preferences folder and locate the com.apple.Safari.plist file. Send this to the Trash and try to relaunch Safari.
Hope this helps!

Adobe Flash Player has blocked me from using FF. A box shows up and the upper screen is grayed out

When I start FF, a small box comes up in the upper middle of the screen - it is from Flash Player and it has two selections: allow and deny. With this flash player box, the upper third of the screen is grayed out. It will not allow use of most visited, bookmarks, or anything that is to be initiated at the top of the page. Even if I start a program, I cannot use the upper controls for that program. This is the second day that it has been blocking my use of FF. Note: I also use Seamonkey, but it has not been affected by the flash player problem. I have re-installed flash player, re-booted, restarted FF, and no changes have come about. I am still blocked from using FF. In fact, I am using this support page on Seamonkey.

this sounds really strange, could you attach a screenshot of the issue?
another thing you can try to troubleshoot the issue is a clean reinstall: remove firefox from the windows control panel & chose to remove all personal data in the uninstaller. afterwards manually check if the firefox program folder got deleted (it's usually in ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox'') and else remove it manually. then download & install a fresh copy at getfirefox.com
if this doesn't work either please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

Helllo I cannot activate the setting in the options panel get Firefox to restore the tabs from the previous session. The option is grayed out. What can I do?

When I start Firefox itt will not restore the tabs I had open during shutdown on the last session. This used to be an option when working on something in order not to have to leave the pc on over night. Now the option under Firefox/Options/General: On Firefox Startup: "Restore the tabs & Windows that were open in the last Firefox session" is grayed out, so that I cannot select it.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

How can I uncheck "Enable disk use" in iTunes for my iPod? The option is grayed out, and permanently checked.

When I plug in my iPod Nano (6th generation) and launch iTunes, the device appears in the sidebar as normal, but the option to check or uncheck "Enable Disk use" in the Summary pane for the iPod is grayed out. Currently, the box is checked, so "Enable disk use " is turned on -- but what I want to do is UNcheck it and turn it off.
But nothing I've tried so far has successfully ungrayed the "Enable disk use" box. Help!
Question: How can I ungrey the "Enable disk use" option in my iPod's Summary panel in iTunes, allowing me to uncheck it?
Alternately, is there any other way to turn off "Enable disk use," using some esoteric workaround? Thanks!

Set it to sync automatically. Disabling that option isn't possible for an iPod set to sync manually, as it shows up as a disk as part of the sync process, and iTunes has no way of knowing when you're done syncing an iPod set to do so manually.

Cannot Share - All Options are Grayed Out

New to iMovie '08 and having problems getting my projected rendered. Here's what I did: First, I imported 4 .mp4 files. No problem there. They came in in the order I wanted, all the thumbnails are fine, I can play it from the 'play' button at the very lower left and all I want to do now is burn to DVD. However, all the Share options are gray. Yes, I select the project in the Library before trying to Share. Of note, the 'play' button on the middle left at the bottom of the upper half of iMovie, if I press that, does nothing. What's going on? How do I get this thing rendered? Thanks!

David,
Have you moved the clips you wish to use in your project from the Library to the Project pane?
From what you describe, it sounds like you haven't.
You may find some answers in the tutorials here:

When I open Safari, the Quit option is grayed out and I can't close multiple tabs (the 'x' is gone).

Can anyone help!

Try the Reset Safari... option with all the options enabled and see if that helps.
If you need to have the browser terminate, you can resort to the Force Quit option (Option-Command-Esc).

I use zone alarm and on the zone alarm tool bar the "check site" option is grayed out.

Booting from the Snow Leopard DVD disc go into Disk Utility and select the top most entry, it should be the name of the drive and list its capacity. Then select the Partition tab and then click on the drop down for the Partition Layout drop down and select One Partition. From there name it Macintosh HD with a format of Mac Extended (Journaled) and then click the Options button and select GUID as the Partition Table. Close that options window and Click Apply. After that is done exit DU then start the Reinstall Mac OS X and you should now have a hard drive, IE Partition, to install to.
If any of the above is not available, IE the partitioning and the selection of the drive to install to, then your internal hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced.

IPhoto Grayed Out when using QuarkxPress 8

Created original Quark docs on old (G4) computer using Quark 4.11. Imported old documents and iPhoto picts into new iMac. Have Quark 8. In updating old Quark documents which contain picts, am receiving message:
"Some disk files for pictures in this layout are missing or have been modified."
I click list pictures button. Print box is checked, ...status is missing
More information says "This picture has been moved or the name has been changed since it was imported."
However when I go to User /Pictures / iPhoto Library to bring picts into document , iPhoto is grayed out.
What do I need to do for these picts to be recognized and brought into these documents?
iPhoto works if I want to email a pict...meaning I can use that same path, User/pictures/iPhoto Library, and it is not grayed out.
What do I need to do to update these picts?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Regards
TD
