Some sub menus icons are just grey boxes all of a sudden

Recently some of the sub menu icons in Netflix, MLB, and others have been showing up as grey boxes only. When highlighted, the name under the icon is there, but no picture. If I access the item, on the next screen it works perfectly and the picture or jacket photo is there. They have disappeared. Everything else works perfectly. I have an Apple TV, Gen 2.

Thanks for the advise. In the end, I unplugged the Apple TV, waited 5 minutes and then plugged it back in. That seems to have done the trick as the icon pictures are back.

I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photos are just grey with JPG in it. How do i get my photos back?

I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photo's are gone. They are just grey with JPG in it.
How do i get my photo's back? And why are they grey?
Any help would be nice.
Thank you.

Restarting your phone doesn't cause it to grey out.
Were you restoring from an icloud backup? IF so, it does take awhile for pictures to download.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Deleted Emails are just "grey" on Server

Hello everybody,
when I delete an Email in TB-Inbox it disappears in TB but not in my Online-Inbox of my Emailprovider. It is just grey there (not unread, not read, something different).
Is there a way to tell TB to remove the deleted Emails "completely"? At the moment I have to delete Emails twice. Sometimes I have to manage my emails in the browser so I prever not to have these grey "grey email-ghosts" there.
My Settings:
1) IMAP
2) Account Settings / Server Settings / When I delete a message / Move it to this folder / Trash
3) Account Settings / Synchronization & Storage / To recover disk space ... /
- Don't delete any Messages CHECKED
- Delete all but the most recent ... messages UNchecked
- Delete messages more than ... days old UNchecked
- Always keep starred messaged CHECKED
Once I told TB to delete Emails older than 30 days TB deleted everything older than 30 days in EVERY folder (although "Always keep starred messaged" was still CHECKED). So I'm a little bit afraid to make experiments in these options.
Thank you in advance!

This would appear to be how your email providers webpage displays emails that are 'marked as deleted'. When you expunge /compact folders in Thunderbird it should disappear from webmail.
Please read info at this link, it will help to explain things.

I have songs I purchased on my phone that won't download they are just greyed out

I purchase a few songs from Itunes and the won't download on my phone and when I go to try and manually up load they are grayed out. I can go to itunes and if will let me play the song but not download it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello sb2776,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. There are two things to try. The first is to Power down and Restart the phone.
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
The second would be to go back into the iTunes app > More > Purchases > Music., then click the cloud icon to download the song. The following article will provide additional assistance.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

iPhoto 9.6, after subscribing to a photo stream it reports there are no photos in that stream - the stream shows (right title but it says there are no photos in the stream - other streams are just fine - on my iPad (iOS 8.0.2) they show fine.. Fixes?

Same issue here both with my iphone 5S as well as my iPad2. THe sync to my macbook air does not complete and it shows a large overcapacity level when connected, but once I disconnect there is plenty of room (4 GB) available, not a 20 GB overage.

HT4890 Cannot access my photos from Photo Stream on my PC.

My iPhone does not seem to be downloading the photos from photo stream on the iPhone to my PC anymore. Old photos from phtos stream are still on my pc on photo stream but it is not getting updated with all the new photos from the photo stream. Dont know what to do or how to fix this....

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only keeps the last 30 days of photos, are your other photos older than that.

All my photos in my library are not showing up

All my photos in my library are just showing gray.. here's a screenshot

Update your video drivers. If that doesn’t fix it, calibrate your monitor, or set your display profile to sRGB if you don’t have a calibration tool. If neither of those fix it, then rename your LR preview folder to something else and let LR rebuild all your previews.

When I start facebook, sometimes it loads ok. But, since v29, it often loads with no photo images or only some photo images shown..just empty boxes.

Facebook loads ok as far as text is concerned. But, it often loads without any of the photo images visible. Sometimes it loads with a few of the images visible. When the images are missing there are just empty boxes where the photos should be. I never had this problem until updating to the latest firefox v29. If you guys can't fix this problem, is there any way to revert back to an earlier version of firefox? tht version worked just fine.

If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Blank grey boxes instead of photo

I restored my photo library because I had blank grey boxes instead of photo in many event folders. I got all blank grey boxes and the same key picture for almost all my photos.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Broken grey box in the local files

Whether I place the image in the site folder
or copy it there when prompted by DW, I get a broken grey box IN the file folder.
I click on assets to see the photo and the preview is a grey box.
Under where it says dimensions there is a question mark.
It's just a plain old jpg. What am I doing wrong here?
Heidi

/Which version of DW?/
DW CS6
/Which operating system?/
Windows 7
/Is your local site defined in DW?/
Yes
/Is your image saved for web as an optimized JPG?/
Yes
Strange thing is, I loaded into Photoshop, saved it as a PSD.
Then when I tried to load it into the web design it requested I change
it to a jpeg.
So I did. Then it showed up. I don't want to have to go through all that
to get an image to show up.

My itouch icons are all white boxes any fix?

My itouch icons for apps are just gray boxes has this happened to anyone? And how did you fix?

Try a safeboot: hold left shift and power up, continue to hold shift until you see the progress bar then release. This will take longer than a normal boot. Shut down and reboot normally, This worked for me when I had a similar issue,

HT201317 I had 250 photos stored in photo stream but i restore them now they are just 150. I m missing about 100 photos those were very urgent please please help

Photo stream only keeps photos in iCloud for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them (such as by restoring your phone). When you turned on photo stream again you only got back the photos added in the last 30 days as the others have already been removed.
If the missing photos were still in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them. (The backup includes camera roll photos but not photo stream photos.)

HT4623 Updated my ipad using 7.0.4 iOS, now my pictures in my photo stream are showing "JPG" in a grey box, how can it view my pictures?

Just ran the 7.0.4 iOS update on my iPad & now I can't view my pictures under the photo stream album, it's showing a grey box with "JPG" where the individual pictures should be, how can I view my photos?

I had the same issue,
Mine was with sync'ed photos, not Photo Stream,
I opened the iPhoto Library Package and removed the iPod Photo Cache. Then resync'ed and everything started working great!
