ITunes Store Button Grayed out in PC Preference

I have a new Macbook Pro. After all the files were migrated over, everything seemed fine with one exception:
I cannot access the iTunes Store.
When I go into preferences (in iTunes) and click on the store tab, it says that the iTunes Store is disabled in Parental preferences.
When I click on the Parental Control tab, the Disable/iTunes Store button is clicked on, but grayed out so I cannot click the disable button off to enable it.
I thought that there would be some sort of setting in System Preferences, but when I go to Parental Control settings there and click the unlock button, enter my password there are no parental controls listed.
And, my user account is set to allow user to admin computer.
I've already tried creating a new user account, but that didn't work either.
Anyone out there have a suggestion?

Just go to the main hard drive on your computer (mine is simply called, "Macintosh HD").
Do not go into the user folder, rather go into the "Library" folder on the main HD.
Inside that Library folder there is a folder called, "Managed Preferences."
When I said "...preferences in the main library folder," I was differentiating that from the preferences folder in your user folder. The user folder is not where you need to be.
It sounds like your problem may be different from mine though. I did not have a problem with connecting to the internet, just getting the iTunes store up. It sounds like you may be having an issue with the network preferences, or your actual internet connection.
Are you getting email?
I also should add here while I'm at it, that this problem is quite persistent. Every time I reboot my Mac, I have to clean out the iTunes preferences in that managed prefs folder, inputting my admin password each time. A good friend of mine that is in IT is still trying to figure that one out, but at least I have a work-around in the meantime.

  • Artwork Button Grayed-Out

    I have some MP3s of an unknown sample rate and different bit depths. I would like to add artwork to these files, but iTunes has the artwork button grayed-out. I can convert the MP3s to AAC, but the quality will suffer, and I don't have the original uncompressed audio to start with.
    Is there a solution to this?
    Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad Xeon   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   3 GB RAM

    If you do a Get Info on the MP3 in iTunes and select the Artwork tab can you add there?
    If you Ctrl Click the track in iTunes and Show in Finder then do another Get Info are the permissions set correctly?

  • Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)

    Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)
    The Journal Batch Approval notification goes to one or more approvers but when any approver opens the journal and tries to approve, the approve batch button is greyed out and nobody can approve the Journal batch. The approver has every authority amount and other wise.
    Any idea what might be wrong? Do I need to setup something in Preference pages etc.,?
    Thanks for your help.

    Are you looking at the Workflow Notifications page or GL page. Please give me the navigation used to reach the page. Typically in workflow notification details page, the Response buttons are either displayed or hidden based on whether the notification has a Result Type attached or not. I don't think they are greyed out based on any rule.
    Workflow notifications does not check the approval authority by itself. Ann appropriate workflow notification with right content and result type should be sent based on the approval authority checked in a previous function activity.
    Thanks

  • Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?

    Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out? 
    Bridge 5.0.2.4. 

    There is an ignore EXIF setting Preferences. I can't remember if that is Bridge or Photoshop, but IIRC it is for DNG files.
    Right.  Check Photosho > Preferences > File handling and make sure 'Ignore EXIF tag, is not checked.  I think that might do it, so long as it refers to sidecare files, because only RAW files would have one.

  • Address Book "Edit" button grayed out...unable to edit

    Had to edit a contact's info and was surprised to find the Edit button grayed out, not allowing me to click it. Repairing permissions has not helped.

    V.K., thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, before I got to try it, I re-launched Address Book one more time and found it will no longer launch. Its Dock icon just keeps bouncing. Not only that, but I've also found that iCal and Mail will no longer launch, either. The iCal calendar pane and the Mail main window open, but the beach ball spins forever. I've never seen this before. Any ideas?
    I tried a different account on the same computer. No problems there.

  • Default DNS grayed out in Network Preferences

    In my Network Preferences, my router address/gateeway is listed twice as a default DNS. Maybe once from Tiger and once more from Leopard?
    This is probably a Verizon thing
    The problem is that they are grayed out and cannot be removed by normal means AFAIK.
    My console reports that the same DNS is repeated - a minor but annoying item.
    It there any reason for me not to simply comment out one of these pesky DNS in the
    /etc/resolv.conf
    file?
    I have already added two more OpenDNS in the Network Preferences with no problem, and they properly show up in the resolv.conf file as 1 and 2, with the default DNS being 3 and 4.
    Why are these default DNS grayed out in Network Preferences?
    How did they get there in the first place?
    Is there a proper place to remove them or at least un-gray them?
    Will commenting out or removing one of the dupes in the resolv.conf file hose anything?

    Have you got something like 'local DNS caching' turned on in the Verizon? Commenting out of .conf may not stick, I think DHCP will just rebuild it.
    I think it's the Verizon router offering the router IP as a fake DNS, which then passes onto the real Verizon DNS down the pipe. Verizon has one of those DNS that trap 404's and offer assistance.
    I think that Leopard looks for 2 DNS minimum and therefore takes the Verizon router number 2 times. It's the first time I have seen a router use its own IP as a DNS.
    When I switch to the Cable system, the duplicate fake DNS get replaced with the real cable DNS almost immediately, so you are right in that it is dynamic, and editing the conf file would do nothing.
    At least I now understand what's happening. It has to be that Leopard asks for 2 DNS or that Verizon router offers the same IP twice.
    I will have to look into the Verizon router a bit more to see if I can do something

  • Join Button Grayed Out

    My iPad connects with no problem at home on my Time Capsule and Airport Extreme Routers. At my office, I can't even find out if it will connect or not, because when I select the network to join it, as soon as I type in a password, the JOIN button grays out making it impossible to connect. On hold now with Apple for 20 minutes and they are scratching their heads. Not a good sign for a device I am otherwise crazy about. Anyone else got this issue? For what its worth, its a Linksys Router at the office.

    Oh heck, nevermind. Turns out I was entering the wrong password. DOH! Nothing to see here, move along.

  • Data source active/inactive button grayed out in LBWE

    Hello,
    When I was activating the Logistics datasource in LBWE, my data source status became red and the Active/Inactive button grayed out? how can I make this data source active again?
    Thanks,
    KK

    Hi Kumar,
    The status will become Red and Active/Inactive is disable due to Extract structure activated but data source is not maintained. This happens once you change the extract structure to Include additional fields. Please do the below step:
    in LBWE, Click on Data source (Technical name of your data source beside maintainance) and you will get maintainance screen, change if you want some thing or else leave as it is and save, Now  the status for data source in LBWE will become yellow and activate/deactivate will enable.
    Regards,

  • Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?

    My users are unable to center text when edited pages in CS3 and CS4. The standard paragraph alignment buttons are grayed out.
    All the users of my site have Admin role, and I have set up the role to allow unrestricted editing. And "Allow Users to Apply Styles"... At screenshot of some of my settings is attached. I don't see why Contribute is not allowing this basic element to work.
    Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I experienced the very same issue, but found an interesting quick-fix that worked for us.
    Several of my webpage content managers reported that they could not change the text alignment in pages created using Dreamweaver nested templates. We use nested editable regions in order to restrict portions of the pages (i.e. banners and navigation menus) from being edited.
    I found that Contribute CS4 could realign text in some parts of the affected pages, but not others.
    Further exam revealed that Contribute could change the alignment on any text that was inside a table on those pages. If I inserted a table and then cut-n-pasted the problem text into the table, the text lost its style/formatting, but it could then have its alignment changed.
    Any text not inside a table could not have the alignment changed by Contribute and changing its style/formatting made no difference.
    One note though: It was interesting that after pasting the text into a table, if I selected a chunk of text, the alignment buttons grayed out again. However, if I simply clicked on the line of text (did not select it), the buttons remained active and the text alignment could be changed.
    I don't know why it is happening. The nested regions were working fine, or so I thought, until recently.
    The above is a quick-fix and got my page content managers back online, but I'm still searching for a long-term solution if anyone has one.
    Good luck...

  • ICloud email won't send (it tries to send and then freezes, send button grayed out)

    I can recieve email just fine. I can draft an email just fine. But it won't send.  When I hit the send button, the email window goes away and a message box appears and disappears so fast I can't read it.  The email window reapears with the "send" button grayed out.  Once this happens, I can't close the email window.  I have to quit mail.  When I open mail back up, the email will still be there and I can close it.  The send button is no longer grayed out, but if I hit send, the same thing happens (i.e., screen flashes and the send button is grayed out).
    I've tried deleting the acouunt and reforming it.  Didn't help.  I checked to see that my outgoing server is "iCloud" and that it send on port 993 and the SSL check box is checked. 
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the exact same problem on one of my Macs but no the other.
    Did you ever get this resolved?

  • ITunes store keeps timing out!

    This is a new issue. My internet is blazing fast but I can't do anything on iTunes Store without timing out. It will load most of the page but shows broken links for images and any further requests give me a 'timed out' error.

    Cable internet into Airport Extreme cabled to 20" iMac.
    OS X 10.5.7 iTunes 8.2.1
    I can sync with my iPhone, and iPod. I have no other issues with the function of the program. It doesn't crash at all.
    BUT, ... when I click on iTunes store in the left pane, I get nothing, ... nothing, ... nothing, ... then sometimes iTunes will display most of the 'home' page. It will display a broken link instead of images, and it takes minutes to get that far.
    The MacBook on the same network (with a different iTunes account) has the exact same issue.
    My internet otherwise works perfectly. pages load very quickly in Safari and Firefox, Mail works great, Battlefield 2142 is running perfect, even Azureus is all green lights.
    Before anyone suggests the obvious, I have tried restarting the computer and running ONLY iTunes, ... only to experience the exact same problem.
    note about an hour ago I thought the problem went away. I was clicking through iTunes like normal, ... but only for about 3 minutes, then nothing, ... nothing, ... nothing.
    Aaarrgghhh!!!
