Items grayed out when they should not be

I have some apps where files that should be available for opening are instead grayed out when they shouldn't be. They never used to be grayed out until recently, and they are a correct file type. (Open is set to "All files" not just the file extension, so it's not an oversight).
Which part of the OS is responsible for choosing what items will be available in a file list (i.e. not grayed out)? I'd like to rebuild it since it seems to be corrupted. Also my LaunchServices seems to be messed up as well because some apps are not available for certain file types "Open With" when they ought to be. Terminal command? Disk Warrior? TinkerTool? Thanks.

Hi,
If you aren't confident in using Terminal check out this site for help with Launch Services.

Having issues with created PDFs requiring Japanese language font pack when they should not

Last week, I created 3 forms for someone. They wanted a fourth, so I put that together today, but halfway through making it, my Livecycle crashed and refused to load up again (I have NO idea why...), so I reinstalled it. I went on to finish making the form, but for some reason, even though the language settings is set to English and not viewer's default locale, the form requires a Japanese font pack. My computer is set to Japanese locale, but with the default language set to English, it should bypass this. The oddest thing is that one of the 3 forms that I already created and sent to them (and worked fine!!!), now also asks me for Japanese language font packs. What the heck is going on?
The forms use nothing other than Myriad Pro, which is set to be embedded. My Acrobat opens them all just fine and shows font properties correctly, but my Reader dies and asks for Japanese font packs. Please help, thank you!

This is a link to one of the 2 forms that is giving me trouble. It's simple, and was already created before my Acrobat reinstall, yet is now asking for Japanese fonts...
Edit: Forms were created using Livecycle Designer ES 2.5. I'm testing with Acrobat X and Reader X.

Thanks for your reply!
Ok, the form I linked, I actually only tested on my own machine, but had the Japanese font error so I assumed it held true for the new one as well. Here is the one I made today that has been tested on 4 computers (list below): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1910267/treatment_notes.pdf
These are the computers it was tested on:
My own computer (Windows 7, format/location set to English/US, default non-Unicode language Japanese, System Locale Japan) - pops up error in Reader X, but not Acrobat Pro X
These 3 computers are all set to complete English/US and do not have Acrobat:
The recipient's computer (not sure what OS, likely Reader X, no other languages installed) - popped up the error asking for Japanese fonts
My mother's computer (XP, Reader 9, I know it has Chinese installed, but I don't think it has Japanese) - no errors
My brother's computer (Vista, Reader 9, no other languages installed) - popped up the Japanese font error
And just for fun I tried on the HP Touchpad (Reader 10.3), but it just gives that error that it can't display the contents of the pdf. I think the WebOS port of Reader either is horribly incomplete somehow, or otherwise I have no idea.
I noticed the similar threads, but since they are unanswered, I thought I'd try again and see if I could get an answer. I've got my hands in the air at this point...

Why are my deleted emails saving in my 'pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved in my pictures??????

Why are my deleted emails saving in 'my pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved
in my pictures??????

I deleted emails from my windows emails and when I went into my pictures there was all my recently deleted items as pdf adobe files and I cannot right click and delete. But why would my deleted emails be going to my pictures in the first place. So i think it must be in how the adobe program is set up and need to know how to change the settings so my deleted emails are not sent to my pictures.I do not know what other details you would require?

"Access Control - Do Not Inherit" Grayed out when setting up a backup on Server 2008 R2 when trying to use remote NAS

I see one response here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c99eead0-e2fc-4c83-8cb2-959d03512667/server-2008-r2-dc-backup-greys-out-do-not-inherit-option-for-file-share-backup
But it makes no sense to me. Running that command doesn't do anything.
How do I make the box stop graying out when setting up a backup with the GUI interface? This should be really simple I would think and for some reason the backup utility is graying out the "Do Not Inherit" option so I can backup to the NAS
device that has access control enabled in order to backup to the NAS.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
From this article, it mentioned that it is by design that we cannot choose "do not inherit" in backup schedule when backup target is a remote shared folder.
Checklist: Schedule Automatic Backups
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732540.aspx
If you use a remote shared folder, make sure that the folder is available, that you have write access to the folder, and that you are a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group on the computer hosting the folder. Each time you create
a backup, it will overwrite the older backups so that you will only have one backup at a time.
The backup will inherit the access control list (ACL) permissions of the folder.
For the account it required, as mentioned above, it should be "a member of Admin group or Backup Operators group, and it should have write permission on target folder".
Also map a network folder as a drive will not help show the mapped drive letter in backup destination. It is still a remote shared folder.

All folders on my iMac are in alphabetical order, however, when I save an item to a folder they are not. Why?

All folders on my iMac are in alphabetical order, however, when I save an item to a folder they are not. Why?

Thanks for helping BDAqua
No it doesn't.
If I go to that folder afterwards, it is all in alphabetical order.
If I am working in Quickbooks, Mail or QuarkXpress and go to a folder from those programs the folder is out of order and I waste a lot of time
searching through the folder looking for what I want. This never used to be a problem until the last couple of months.

Should be the bluetoot symbol grayed out when the bluetooth is turned "ON"or it should be highlighted in white like rest of the active symbols are? Please unswer this simple question clearly. Thank you.

My blutooth symbol on the new i-Pod 2 is grayed out when the option is turned "ON". Shouldn't be highlighted white like the rest of the symbols are?

when blue tooth is turned off in settings, the symbol does not show at all. when BT is turned on in settings, but there is no connected device, it will show the symbol gryed out. When BT is on, and connected to an active device, it will show as bright white.

My Initials for Game Center are displaying as DC when they should be NC how do I change them ?

My Initials for Game Center are displaying as DC when they should be NC how do I change them ? This makes it confusing for people to add me and is an annoyance please help.

That's because you scanned them as B/W photos and iPhoto 08 doesn't support the grayscale color profile. You can either rescan them as color photos or export them as originals out of iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and applhy this Automator application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB Profile, on them and then remimport into iPhoto. You can download it from Toad's Cellar . Be sure to read the warning on the website about not applying it on your only copies.

In my contacts, I want to edit information. Some of this information is 'grayed out' and I am not able to delete it - any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

In my contacts, I want to edit information. Some of this information is 'grayed out' and I am not able to delete it - any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

For example: SusanX has quit her job and I still have her employment email address and phone number. All her other information is the same but I want to delete the information no long viable. When I go into edit mode the information is grayed out and is not deletable. I went to my iCloud and tried to delete it there, no luck.
I am thinking I might just have to delete the entire contact card and just start from scratch with only her current information. Seems like there should be a way to delete only parts of the information rather that resort to start a new contact card.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate you taking the time to advise me on this.

I recently had to get a new computer, my list of audible books is there but can't open because original file cannot be found. how do I find them or redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore?

I recently had to purchase a new computer, after doing so I no longer can open my audible books. the list is there, but I get an error message telling me that the original file cannot be found. How can I redownload them when they are not in my purchased list anymore when I go to the Apple Store??

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Many of my recently uploaded photos are horizontal when they should be vertical, and vice versa. I've corrected all these on my laptop but in my iPad and i Phone photo streams they are still mixed. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Add the corrected ones to your PS - PS contains only what was added to it - changes made are not applied to the PS - you have to re add the updated photos

Import button remains grayed out when adding existing folder to LR 4

Greetings. I'm following the steps in the following link from Adobe:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSE828B644-9097-46ab-98A7-E2719BBB6647.htm l
The final step, after selecting the folder I want to add, is to select Import. Except, the Import button remains grayed out. I'm not sure what to do in order to select Import and add the folder I already have.
Thanks,
Mike H.

Thank you for the information. Yes, that seems to make sense based on what I've discovered using LR 4. Still trying to come up to speed. Appreciate everyone's help with their tips and insight.

Folders per se cannot be imported - only pictures (or movies) in a folder can. So, you have to select a folder containing at least one picture or movie (all pictures and movies found are automatically selected when the import dialog opens). This is probably not the case for the folder you want to add, so "no photos found" is displayed in the dialog center and the "Import" button is greyed out.

In other words, how does your explanation account for ED (enhanced definition)?
ED is generally considered to be 576p or 480p, but this is not universally accepted and these resolutions are often accepted as HD also. Additionally an ED signal uses non square pixels just as SD does so the horizontal pixel dimensions should be no more than 720. Exactly how the tv would treat these resolutions I don't know (yet).
If you have a copy of the source code for the function that displays the HD icon, please post it so I can take a look at it.
Why should I have such a copy and why is it relevant. The issue here is that the OP believes his video is incorrectly labelled HD which is not the case. There may or may not be anomalies in the way the tv attributes the HD label to some files (although it isn't the case for me), however the OP has incorrectly converted his source video and they are no longer SD, they are also not ED by whichever definition you wish to apply and any such anomalies should they exist are not responsible for the OP's files being labelled HD.

Password field grayed out when trying to connect via BeX

Business Explorer SAP Logon screen password is grayed out and user can not type in. We've ruled out the possibility of SNC being turned on for this BI QA system connection.
User gets the following error message:
Missing SNC_LIB=... in connect_param in RfcOpenEx
Any ideas how to activate the Password field or what this error message means?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I got the same problem when I tried to use BEx Analyzer to connect a BW system and I also tried to solve the problem followed your guide, but failed. I am wondering what is SNC Library and how and where I can find it's content, after this I can put it to SNC_LIB=.
Thanks in advance
