  • Why is the sync button shaded/ grayed out in iTunes when I try to sync my iPhone 4s

    I have 2 iPhone 4s', I originally synced one last year to the same computer I am using now, it worked fine. I have all the latest updates for iTunes and IOS. I am using a windows 7 laptop.
    When I try to sync my phone, iTunes takes a very long time to find my iphone after I connect it and sometimes freezes for a minute or so. I then do all the regular things such as ticking the sync only selected songs, sync with this device over Wifi etc. but then when I have selected the songs i want and click 'apply', iTunes freezes again for a moment and the sync button at the bottom remains shaded out so I can't click it??
    I have ticked automatically sync this device when connected, uninstalled/ re-installed iTunes 4 or 5 times, restarted my computer, authorised my computer (again), backed up and reset my iphone. Re-installed Bonjour, reset my Wifi router as it also does not let me click the 'sync now' button on either of my phones and after all of this, none of the songs in my music library on my iphones have changed??
    Can anyone please help?

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • The "always allow" button is grayed out in settings regarding cookies, and I can not find where to change the setting.  (Restrictions are not on.)

    The "always allow" button is grayed out in settings regarding cookies, and I can not find where to change the setting.  (Restrictions are not on.)  Do you know where I go to change the setting to allow me to "always allow" cookies?

    Hi lisaarnett111,
    If you are having issues turning on Always Allow for cookies in Safari on your iPad, you may want to check to make sure that you don't have Private Browsing enabled, as noted in the following article:
    Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • How can I move photos from pictures to my Iomega external hard drive?  I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste them.  The paste button is grayed out.

    How can I move photos from pictures to my external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste the photos.  The paste button is grayed out.

    Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
    Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
    If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact.

  • I am trying to install Iphoto on my new MacBook Air adn the install button is grayed out  Any suggestions

    I am trying to install iphoto 09 on my new MacBook Air and the install button is grayed out.  Both for installation and custom install.  Is there a problem that I am not aware of?

    Check for receipts
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

    I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

    You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
    You can try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
    I would try on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Connect to MS Office button is Grayed out - for both Office 2010 and Office 2013

    Hi
    I have recently implemented Sharepoint 2013 Standard for a customer.
    I have got everything to work so far except one important thing, from any Ms Word or Ms Excel application save as SharePoint is missing. While having a closer look I noticed that Connect to Office button is grayed out in SharePoint. 
    During the initial setup, I created the site collection using Team Site template under collaboration. All researching is pointing me to user profile setup with my site host under enterprise section in site collection. 
    I have confirmed that the clients are opening sharepoint from 32bit browser and they have sharepoint handler add on enabled in IE. I have also followed the below guide 
    https://mywinsysadm.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/sharepoint-connect-to-office-for-new-document-creation/ 
    However, I cant actually see any user profile feature as the guide suggests, I can only see "create personal site" under manage profile service section. 
    I have searched & searched and I am not finding any solutions to this problem. 
    can someone point me to the right direction please? is it purely because the site collection is not a My site Host?
    All I need is for users with Office 2010 or Office 2013 to be able to save a document directly in sharepoint. 
    Note - Connect is outlook is working fine though.

    Hi jawad,
    As navigating to a SharePoint Library and clicking 'Connect to Office', the link to document library is added to
    http://[mysites]/_layouts/15/MyQuickLinks.aspx. So, you need to make sure you have your personal site.
    After creating your personal site, please visit
    http://[mysites]/_layouts/15/MyQuickLinks.aspx, check whether it can open well.
    More information about creating MySite, you can refer to:
    http://blog.sharedove.com/adisjugo/index.php/2012/07/25/visual-guide-setting-up-my-sites-in-sharepoint-2013/
    Then go to IE Options->Programs->manage add-ons, make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enabled.
    Here is an article, it may be useful for you:

  • I've had my itunes account for about a year now, and I just got the iPhone 5s.  All the music I've bought has downloaded onto the phone, but the cds I burned a few months back aren't in my music library on my phone. The sync button is gray.

    I've had my iTunes account for about a year now, and I just got the iPhone 5s.  I logged into my iTunes account on my phone just fine, and all the music I've bought on iTunes has transferred to my phone, but the cds I burned haven't.  The sync button is gray so I can't click on it. The songs from the cds on iTunes are checked and should sync but haven't. Please help!

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

  • 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.

  • The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad

    Hi,
    Has anyone run into this problem for Captivate 8? The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad. The Next button shows in IE/Flash mode.
    Thanks in advance for providing your help!
    Zhuoran.

    Thank you Rod.... I changed the option to "Required - User must take the quiz to continue." Now the next is working .
    Thank you for pointing the right direction. But one quick question.. will the above setting affect my assessment? I have set the pass percentage to 100%...
    My next question - I have a open course menu (TOC). If the learner clicks the Knowledge check page, the knowledge check page is visible, but if you click any other page from knowledge check, it is not going...... by default, it takes to the next page. From that page, you can click any other page... IS this also related to the above option .. pls let me know..

  • I am trying to use Iphoto and the share button is grayed out so I cannot send an email

    I have tried multiple times to upload photos but the "share" button is grayed out. Anyone know how to fix that?

    That refers to iMovie, not iPhoto, and photos in Events can certainly be shared to Email.
    What email option have you selected? IPhoto? Or some other one?
    Regards

  • My iPhone 4's WiFi button is grayed out after update

    Just spent the last 60 minutes on the phone with Apple support in regards to my iPhone 4's WiFi button being grayed out and unable to turn on. Went through all the steps and suggtions I found on the forums and support. Nothing worked.
    Called Apple Support and was walked through a total factory reset of the phone...still doesn't work!
    I was told that they can not help me because the phone is out of warranty...THIS HAPPENED AFTER UPDATING TO YOUR CRAPPY iOS 7 update! It's your glitch...using the wording from the nice Apple Support gal...she admitted it's their "occasional glitch" in the software. Now I have to get a new phone because of their software "glitch"?
