IPad has grayed out boxes I can't open them nor delete them what are these for

Grayed out icons on my iPad I can't delete or opens these grayed icons

We don't have any idea what they are without some more information from you. If they are apps, then the names of the apps should be under the grey icons. Are there any names under the icons? What do the icons look like? Can you post a screenshot?
HHold down on the power button and then press the home button until you hear the sound of a camera shutter and the screen will flash white. That's how you take a screenshot. The screenshot will be saved to the camera roll and you can post the screenshot in your reply by tapping on the camer icon in the editing box.
You will have to post the screenshot on your computer. Safari on the iPad does not have that capability.

My company loaded profiles onto my iPad for email and calendars.. There is also a signing certificate and a certificate. What are these for? Additionally are they able to monitor apps and usage, ie Internet usage when it is not on their wifi?

Do you happen to have an Android? If so and depending on what version there is a great data usage analyse tool built-in. See if you can go to Settings -> Data Usage from there you can pick a current or previous billing cycle and then use the vertical sliders to select a date range and it will filter the usage data per app to show you exactly what app(s) were using data during that time frame.

I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?

Sign in to download from the App Store screen has the wrong Apple ID- grayed out. How can I change it?

Where is the bogus Apple ID stored? How can I 'ungray' it to make it editable?

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

My ipad has a password that I can't remember and it's not connected to the internet, so my computer won't recognize it and I know that when all get this figured out that it will be set back to factory state but how do I get it there

If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock your iPad then there are instructions on this page for how to reset the iPad (your iPad doesn't need to be connected to the internet) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If your computer's iTunes isnt recognising the iPad when you connect it then have you got a recent version of iTunes installed on your computer ? There are also troubleshooting pages for a device not showing in iTunes on these pages :

The "join" button on both my iPad and iPhone is grayed out. Network can be seen but not joined

I've reset the password a few times and know I am using the correct one. I get the same error on both my iPad and iPhone. Both see the network but maybe there is a problem with the router. I've also reset that a few times with no luck. Thank you.

TS1398 the wi-fi on/off option on my new ipad is grayed out. How do I turn it back on?

I was using my ipad and wi-fi is suddenly unavailable. I have checked and my Kindle and laptop can still use wi-fi. The wi-fi section of the setting shows the wi-fi is off and the on/off switch is grayed out so I can't turn it back on.
I have also turned off my wi-fi router and turned it back on and have turned the ipad off and back on.

Try the suggestions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
If these don't work you may have a hardware problem.

TS1702 My IPod Nano is synched to my ITunes library, but when I click on the Device name, all of the music is "grayed out" and I can't click on anything.

My IPod Nano is synched to my ITunes library and shows up under Devices, but when I click on the Device name, all of the music is "grayed out" and I can't click on anything.

In order for this content to not appear grayed out, you need to enable the Manually manage music option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. Keep in minding that manually managing your iPod's contents is different from having content automatically sync to your device from iTunes. See here for more information.

Follow this article: iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
If that fails to resolve the issue, follow this article: iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
If that fails, the device has a hardware fault.

Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue.

My music is grayed out and I can't delete the songs?

A while back, I tried to delete all the music off of my iPhone 5 to make room. I think I tried to delete it from iTunes on my PC. However, it didn't delete. The 90 songs remain on my iPhone, but are grayed out. I have tried almost everything to delete the music - it doesn't take up any room, but it's annoying, and I can't add any music to my phone now. Has this happened to anyone else before? And how can I remove the music?

Try signing out of your apple ID and signing back in. I saw another post where that worked for at least one person.
(Settings>Store>tap ID, sign out, sign back in)
