Mac Mail 'To Do' Icon Greyed Out?

In mac mail, the 'To Do' icon on the tool bar is greyed out...even when I select text from an email message, the icon is still grey. I can, however, right-click on the text to create a new 'to do' but I would like to know why the icon on the tool bar is greyed...? how do I make it clickable? Thanks!!

I was having the same issue. I dug around in the help and found the below resolutions that worked for me. I'm using Mail, iCal and connect to two separate Exchange accounts. This solved the issue for both Exchange task calendars.
To create a to-do item:
Select a calendar in the Calendars list, and then double-click the blank space in the To Do list at the right side of the iCal window, or choose File > New To Do.
If you don’t see the To Do list, click the button in the lower-right corner of the window (looks like a pushpin).

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails? Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink. Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com. Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

Cannot move junk email to Bulk Mail folder in Yahoo, greyed out

I've searched but so far no luck. Ever since I added my two Yahoo email accounts on my iPhone 4, I cannot seem to send junk email from my inbox to my Bulk Mail folder, it is greyed out. First off, I've confirmed that the Bulk Mail folder on my iPhone is the same as my Spam folder in Yahoo mail on the desktop. I can see the same emails in both folders. Anyone have the same experience and found a way to correct this, or is this just a Yahoo limitation?

I am having the same problem, but I'm not very clear on how to follow the steps.
went to my yahoo account in IOS;
hit edit, hit "new mailbox" at the bottom right corner of the screen;
entered a name;
below that, it has "Mailbox Location", I opened it;
it list all my personal folders, I am stuck here.
How do I "point the mailbox location to the Bulk Mail folder", as instructed? Am I missing a step?
This is for iPhone 4S, with the latest released version. Thank you!

I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail. However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook. Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.

I added a gmail account and then couldn't find my mac.mail account on icon page when clicking mail envelope...so I dumped my gmail, but now can't get my mac. mail at all on my phone... please help...

I added gmail to my phone.... now I can't get my mac. mail from my mac computer on the phone when I click the envelope for mail....so I dumped my gmail account.... still can't get my mac mail back on icon page on iphone so I can get my mail from my computer...
Ready to take my iphone back..... maybe I am too old.... for all this stuff.... very sad and frustrated....

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

TS3988 The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

I've just updated and installed Mountain Lion. I've clicked for iCloud for Mail. The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

They are grayed out because they are automatically set up whey you check Mail in System Preferences. If you didn't do that, go back and do so and your iCloud email account will be set up automatically.

HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

I am not sure but unless the item is not phrased as a question, or does not have question in the Content it doesn not become active. I have seen this several times. And its always appeared for me when the person was just declaring a statement. and not asking anything.

Facetime icon greyed out in contact list

I am runing 10.10.1 for my iMac and have the latest software on my Iphone 6. The contact I would like to use FaceTime is in China and uses a iPhone 5. My computer contact list shows the Facetime icon greyed out. The same contact in my iphone has no indication of a Facetime option. I have checked my settings for both messages and FaceTime. I have used messages to communicate with this person.
Why can I not use FaceTime?
Thanks,
Brad

I would guess that something on your contact's end is the issue - can this person make Facetime calls to anyone?

Why is the 'send' icon greyed out in mail? I cant send any mail.

Recently bought bought a Macbook pro so i'm new to this! My mail has been working fine both sending and receiving but recently the send icon is greyed out and I cant send anything! Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I tried it but it didn't work. After some playing around I found that the outgoing mail preferences had altered. Not sure why the setting changed but never the less its working again. Thanks again

Wi-fi icon greyed out and showing "No Network selected"

I have an iMac (20 inch; early 2009) running Lion and use an Airport Extreme as my router. The Airport Extreme is connected to my computer and all others in the home connect through it wirelessly.
Lately, if the Mac has been off or in sleep mode, when I wake it or turn it o, I'm still connected to the internet but the wi-fi icon is greyed out. When I click on the icon, it shows "No Network Selected" and then begins searching for a network. My network pops up as an available network, but I have to choose it each time.
This never happened until a couple days ago. I haven't made any changes to software, hardware, etc. and all software is up-to-date. The only thing I've done a couple days ago was a soft reset of the Airport Extreme, as my Apple TV was acting strangely. I pushed the reset button and everything was fine with the Apple TV.
No other devices or computers on the network are having any problem with the network.
Could the soft reset have done this? If so, what can I do get the wi-fi and the network to work together again? If not, any suggestions as to how to fix this?
Also, how do I determine the generation of the Airport Extreme? It was purchased in April/May 2009.
Thanks very much.
Sheri

Have you tried power cycling your wireless router? First step would be to turn it off, wait a minute and turn back on. Is this router supporting other wireless equipment, such as computers, and how are they working?
Do a hard reset on the iPad, hold both the sleep and home buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
Reenter all of the network settings manually.
Then try to connect and see if it is working correctly.
Problems like this can be hard to separate router issues from iPad issues until you try several things on each.

Disconnect the drive and reconnect it. Any change? If not, test it with another Mac.

Raid utility - hardrive icon greyed out although drives are ok?

Hello,
I've been trying to create a Raid set (raid 0), and later are going to create a second raid set (raid zero) to mirror it so Raid 0+1. We installed a raid card last week In Raid utility the hardrive icon is greyed out. The battery conditioned, apaprently successfully, but has started conditioning again. We sucessfully created a raid zero set in disk utility from the two drives, but Raid Utility doesn't recognise them. I haven't done this before so apologies if i misunderstand or explain anything badly. Help greatfully received : )
Mac Pro 10.6.6

Dedicating four drives to hold data that could be serviced by one will not get you performance or data security. If you seek performance, use a pair of drives to create a Striped RAID, and plan on rolling the files off to another medium at the end of the day or every few days.
Mirrored RAID is NOT Backup. It extends the time-to-repair after a drive failure, and is useful for mission-critical and near-non-stop services. You still need a backup scheme. If you have to do backups anyway, why bother with Mirrored RAID unless you have data that meets the description above?
We sucessfully created a raid zero set in disk utility from the two drives, but Raid Utility doesn't recognise them.
You choose one or the other. Either you are using RAID Utility and the RAID card, OR
... you are NOT using the RAID card and using Disk Utility.
The RAID card is useful for RAID schemes where checksums must be computed and checked on-the-fly, such as RAID 5.
