  • How to disable or grey out a link in detailed Navigation

    Hi All,
    We have requirement in which few of the links in are to be displayed as greyed out or disabled in detailed navigation and in navigational pages. This is to stop the users from accessing the link for sometime say for a week or so.
    I have managed to grey out the link in navigational area. But couldnt find a way to do it from Detailed Navigation. If i click on the link on detailed navigation, it would open the applicaton.
    Kindly help me on how to disable or grey out a link in detailed navigation.
    Thanks
    Namit

    Hi Namit,
    Open the particular page , and select dynamic navigation (from the right hand side corner Display drop down menu ) .
    U will get all the links which r there in the detailed navigation.
    and uncheck the visible property .
    Surekha.

  • Why is Delete greyed out in the Edit menu? (track selected in regular playlist)

    Hi. Starting today, Delete is permanently greyed out in the Edit menu in iTunes. This is with tracks selected in the Music library or in any playlist (not just Smart Playlists). I manage tracks daily, and this just started today. I upgraded to 10.4 about a week back so it was fine for a while. Immediately before the problem manifested itself, I selected "Always Show Artwork" from the View menu (which is available when you're in Album List mode), something I've never done before. But that might be totally unreleated.
    Hitting the Delete key doesn't work either (actually that's my preferred method). However "Cut" and Cmd-X do work, as does the Delete command in the contextual menu. So I have a workaround.
    Quitting and re-entering iTunes didn't help, nor did de-selecting "Always Show Artwork".

    Hmm.  I came to realise iTune Match had downgraded 38 of my tracks, which I'd ripped from my own CDs long ago, with 256kbps versions.  I do have backup for the tracks, so I'd like to delete these 38 tracks (I've made a Smart playlist of them), deleting them from iCloud too; then with Match turned off, recover my originals (Add to Library) from an old Mac.
    Can't do it!  As Richard Tench said at the top, from 27 July 2011, Edit > Delete is permanently grayed out if you have opted for iT Match.  And for me on iTunes 10.6.3 (Lion 10.7.4), that's not all:  Edit > Cut and Cmd-x both just produce the Bonk sound.  My Macbook keyboard has no Del key either. 
    But all the above are only true with Match active.  Store > Turn Off iTunes Match will ungrey Edit > Delete (& fn-bksp etc I imagine).  So I would then be able to delete the tracks locally.  But of course, if you turn off iT Match you can delete all you like locally, but they will still exist in iCloud, and if I turn on iT Match again, the lower-grade 256kbps ones will come down from the clouds to replace my CD-ripped ones again!  Won't they?
    Is that right?  Is there any way to exclude these 38 tracks (out of ~6500) from iTunes Match so I can keep my better quality CD-ripped ones?  (Other than using Alt-Launch & creating a separate iTunes fileset for the 38 tracks - as you might have guessed, some of them fall right in the middle of albums.)   Help!

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • REUSE ALV -- To make a row grey out (disable/non-editable) dynamically!!!

    Hello All,
    Well again a quick question...
    Am using REUSE ALV method to display the ALV report. There are few fields which i've made editable while building the field catalog!
    Now by, Dynamically by selecting a row in the list (using the checkbox) and by pressing a button on application tool bar, the selected row should be greyed-out(disabled), that is it should not be anymore editable!
    How is it possible?
    Any kind of inputs regarding this will be damn damn helpful.
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers, Sundar.

    Hi,
    The above solution 1 will be only applicable if using OO ALV!
    above solution 2 will disable the entire column, and then again i need to call the "REUSE ALV"... which i don't want to.. as it opens another screen above the same screen and i have to close it twice!
    I know it is possible to grey out the selected row using OO ALV... i want to know if it is possible in REUSE ALV???
    Keep shooting please....
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Sundar

  • Read mail greyed out, also Inbox, Trash, Sent, etc

    I have two Macs, both use Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2). On one of them, read messages are greyed out, as are the boxes down the left hand side of the page. Have checked the Preferences settings and can't see anything there. Any idea how to get of this please?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Add account in Apple Mail greyed out

    After migration to Yosemite I imported added my accounts and imported my mailboxes in Apple Mail. This seemed to work fine.
    Now I want to add another mail account in Apple Mail (preferences -> accounts) and I cannot click the + (plus) as it is greyed out.
    I then added the account through system settings and it appeared in Mail.
    After a while (about an hour of inactivity) this account disappears from both Mail and system preferences.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Found this and trying it myself . . . https://discussions.apple.com/message/23992956#23992956. Sounds plausible but it is a work around. Apple should look into it . . .

  • Mail greyed out in preferences?

    I had to do an archive an install of 10.3.9. Then I had to reinstall the iLife 05 applications. Now, everything is working except I can't choose Mail.app to send photos in iPhoto. The only option that is available is Entourage. All the other choices -- Mail, Eudora, AOL -- are greyed out.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi TaikoCJ,
    Check the Previous system folder and see if there is an older Mail.app there.
    If there is, delete it or trash it.

  • Junk mail greyed out

    The erase junk mail is greyed out not allowing me to erase the junk mail box. Any ideas anyone please?

    Have you tried highlighting the mail box on the left, then choose mailbox on the menu bar and rebuild?
    Also, there is an option to erase junk mail, also under mailbox on the menu bar, have you tried that?

  • Why is Erase Junk Mail greyed out?

    In Apple Mail, there is a command I previously used under the Mailbox menu - "Erase Junk Mail" - which is now greyed out (not available). I have a Junk mailbox and I have tried selecting the entire mailbox or a single message in this mailbox, but the command stays greyed out. Why? How do I make this an actice command?

    I know it's a long time since your post but I just found the answer as I was having the same problem.
    I had set up advanced preferences.
    I reverted to "Move it to the junk mailbox" and the menu item was restored.

  • SMB Guest Access allowed but greyed out so cant turn it off

    Hi guys
    I have recently installed 10.6 snow leopard server to setup as a file server. It will be host to a mix of mac and windows clients.
    I have installed and setup SMB service:
    Role: Primary Domain Controller
    By default, Allow Guest Access is ticked and greyed out. I want to disable it but I can click the box??
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Rik.

    I was in the same boat. Found the answer in Terminal (I'm assuming you know what you're doing there):
    You can verify the settings by typing (NOTE: the serveradmin command must be run as root):
              serveradmin settings smb
    Look for a line reading:
              smb:map to guest = "Bad User"
    This indicates Guest Access is ON.
    To disable guest access in SMB:
             serveradmin settings smb:map to guest = "Never"
    I had to quit and reopen the Server Admin app before the change showed in the GUI.

  • I just downloaded acrobat x. unfortunatel security features are all greyed out.i cant protect my doc from being edited,copied etc. any advice on what i should do

    I JUST DO

    Sorry your experience wasn't a plesant one, but most of the issues they work on are hardware in nature, not software.. I'm not taking up for Apple... I'd had my share of run-ins with them as well.
    As for your iTunes issue... an EASY solution is to simply tell iTunes that the location you want your tunes stored in is your Public folder. Items in your public folder can be seen and opened by others, so your wife could easily access the files there.
    For you, go to your Music folder, find the iTunes folder, and drag it to your public folder.
    Next, go to iTuness>Preferences and click on the Advanced tab, then the General Tab, and the first window you see is the iTunes Music Folder Locataion. Click Change, then navigate to the iTunes folder in you Public folder.
    Now, next time you purchase a song from the iTunes store, or import songs from a CD, they will be stored in the iTunes folder, in your public folder.
    You wife does basically the same thing except she navigates to YOUR public folder, and the iTunes folder inside.
    She will have to manually find and import any new songs you add but at least your entire library will be available for her to listen to.
    There are other ways of getting the same thing done, but I think this is the easiest.
