ICloud icon on imac greyed out
New iMac with Mountain Lion.
iCloud icon is greyed out.
How do I turn it on?
Thanks!
Thanks for the response.
I had reviewed that.
The greyed out iCloud icon is the one in System Preferences....which I should have mentioned in my initial post. Sorry!
....So I can't get beyond that at present.

Help! Upload 8.1 on my iPad 2 and now I can't get any wifi nor can I reset any settings. When I try to go on my iCloud it is all greyed out and no longer recognizes my password.
I also can't turn off "Find my iPad" on iTunes in order to do a restore.Try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10 seconds. After the iPad restarts, see if you can get into your settings.

ICloud and Twitter are greyed out in Systems. Can't access them.
iPod Touch Model PC544LL Version 5.1 30GB
Why are my iCloud and Twitter icons greyed out in Systems?
Found the answer.A little more info is needed. How are you trying to access iCloud (via contacts, calendar, mail app)? Also check Settings>Restrictions. Not sure if turning it on would cause this, but check to be sure its not turned on.

Against my better judgement (now that Apple has turned into Microsoft 10 years ago, breaking apps with every OS update, followed by radio silence from Apple, pretending like they didn't do anything), I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite and noticed that my Motion 4 icon is now greyed out. Thanks Apple.
I still do the majority of my work in Final Cut Pro 7, with many, many, Motion 4 projects embedded in the timeline (so that I can change them in Motion and have them seamlessly updated in my Final Cut Pro project), including an unfinished feature length documentary on gay and lesbian history from 2000 BC until 1900 AD. Should I just throw the entire film into the rubbish bin? I would presume that Motion 5.1.2 is incompatible with Final Cut 7? So what am I supposed to do now?
1 - Downgrade to Mountain Lion (or heck, why not Snow Leopard?)?
2 - Switch to Adobe Premiere?
3 - All of the above?
Thanks (for nothing, Apple).
MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display
2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MBAfter some peacefull time my system crashed completely on Friday!
I installed all from Scratch to make sure its not some old stuff that I carried on during migration.
It's not a problem with the motion files as I deleted all of them and XML export is still crashing!
The situation is, that after installing it all I got the same quicktime translation error again and I am quite angry about how Apple handles clients who are working on projects with the recent FCP story.
Unfortunately due to the problems in exporting XML I am not even able to switch to Adobe Premier as this is the only way to import there.
After a lot of testing I am quite sure, that this issue has to do something with an Apple Update release between June 2011 and now.
Conclusion: Final Cut Studio II is not working correctly anymore as it did before June 2011!!! Apple, Please fix this issue asap.!!!! -

Much like the title says the Spelling ICON is greyed out. When I go to the Discussion List and select the thread then view the list in “Flat” view, the Spelling ICON is not greyed out. However, this is a different aspx file. The first method
displays the thread via the Topics.aspx (the normal way) whereas the second displays the thread using the Flat.aspx.
Regardless, why is the Spelling ICON greyed out on the normal way you would reply to a discussion thread? By the way, I had to activate the Publishing Infrastructure on the Site Collection to get the Spelling ICON just to show up when I click on “reply”
from a Discussion thread.
Thanks to anyone who can help!Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that when you went to the Discussion List and selected the thread then view the list in “Flat” view, the Spelling ICON was greyed out.
By design in SharePoint, when you view the list in “Flat” view, the ribbon would be as below:
Only when you add a reply and move the mouse to the content, the Spelling ICON will appear.
Best Regards,

Unstable harddisk won't go in dock - and icon is "greyed out" in Finder
Some time ago, I couldn't find my system disk in the dock in Finder (the thing to the left when you open a Finder window). I thought I'd accidently thrown it out, so I did a Sherlock search for it. I found the disc, but its icon was weirdly "greyed out", as if to tell me the disc was "deactivated" or so - and it wouldn't go into the disk dock.
I tried reformatting the disc completely, which worked for 1 day or so, and then the problem was there again. So I thought the harddisk was effed and bought a new one, formatted it and installed OS+programs yet again. After 2 days, the disk disappeared again and was, again, "greyed out" when I searched for it.
I've had the same setup with regards to software, RAM and HD's for almost a year prior to this happening, so it's most likely not a problem caused by new equipment going crazy.
Anyone see this before?Dave,
Try doing a SMC reset and if that doesn't help try starting in Safe Mode.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
I have two users, running Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9 on Windows XP. If they go to Windows Explorer and navigate to a file, open it, the Link Tool icon is greyed out. If they open the Acrobat 9 software, do a File and then Open inside the software and find the same file, the icon is not greyed out. What is causing this? I can't find any answers online. Thank you.
Nobody? Wow.

How can I access my apps? They are all greyed out in itunes. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings but that didn't work. I have a feeling it may have something to with the restrictions settings on my phone restrictions are on) but it won't allow me to change the restrictions without putting in a passcode. I don't remember ever having a passcode and after several attempts have not been able to get the right code.
Also. on my phone, in settings, personal hotspot, iCloud and Twitter are greyed out. And, the App Store icon is missing from my screen as well.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanksyep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!
