My wife's email settings are greyed out, not selectable?

I'm not sure what's going on but she has a iPhone 4S along with a 2009 27" iMac that is fully updated.
However her email accounts ALL have the password missing and when I put in the correct passwords it says it wrong and it won't stay in there.
And the incoming mail server for her iCloud account is greyed out and will not allow me to put in anything. Now this one won't even let me input anything.
So no matter what I put in there for a password even though it's correct it stays empty and then the iCloud won't let me put in the incoming mail server.
Ideas?

Anyone?

Wifi settings are greyed out?

All answers to fixing wifi access problems start with going into settings. My settings are greyed out for wifi access. How do I get this back....it worked before?

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would start by taking a look at this Apple support document related to your issue.

Stamp tool Paste clipboard image as stamp is greyed out & not selectable -

Stamp tool Paste clipboard image as stamp - This command is greyed out & not selectable - I have copied an image to the clipboard Acrobat X v10.1.4 o OS X 10.7.4 Lion does not find it. Under OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard it worked
Has anyone else got this working with OSX 10.7.4 Lion with Acrobat X ?- Its a consistent problem for me on both my MacBookPro & IMac computers

Exactly, that feature was so valuable for me in previous versions. I am not sure why someone who sells something would eliminate a feature that customers use. What person made that call? They are probably working at Microsoft now making those "great products" (though I do like Excel, but only because they haven't changed it, esentially, for years...of course, how much can you really change a calculator?).
Please fix this Adobe...I would be your biggest fan

Trying to share ethernet over WiFi but connection options are greyed out?

Newby question: I have a Mac Mini 2GHz C2D running OS 10.5.5. I am connected to the internet using my cable modem. When I use the Sharing system preferences control to establish Internet Sharing the boxes with "Share your connection from" and the box with "To computers using" are greyed out.
I'm fairly certain that the wifi card is working because I can see my neighbors wifi network. Also, a friends ITouch can see my computer and it even asks for and validates the password I established, it just can't access the internet.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am running 10.5.5 so that's not the issue. Also the Internet Sharing has been unlocked the entire time. I tried locking and then unlocking unlocking it (had to enter my admin password) and it didn't change anything.
Still confused.
Could the issue be related to other network settings such as network name, location settings, order of the internet and WiFi on the network control panel, etc.?
As I noted earlier you are running an old version of Leopard, so what I have may not be the same as what you have.

Some imessage settings are greyed out on macbook pro

MacBook Pro
17-inch, Late 2011
OS X10.9 (Mavericks)
Some iMessage settings in the General tab are greyed out:
Buddy list:
Account Status:
When I return:
When Switching users:
- iMessage is successfully setup on iPhone, iPad and MacBook;
- I am the administrator and only user of the laptop;
- I can change all other settings in iMessage and system-wide;
- The problem is not affecting the functionality of iMessaging - these are privacy issues;
- These settings are not offered on my iPhone or iPad, so their settings are not restricting me;
- I don't know if the problem existed before upgrading to Mavericks;
- I checked all other System Preferences for settings that may be causing the problem - found none (doesn't mean they aren't there).
Clearly this is not a crisis situation - it's "only" iMessage which I've chose to enable and will disable if necessary. It's a control issue - Apple has it, I want it back! I have a HUGE problem with any entity dictating - then locking me out of - the settings on my devices, deciding what personal and activity info I share, and with whom. Thanks in advance for helping.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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 on some models, 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 and Wi-Fi on certain models. 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 steps 1 and 2.

Toolbar buttons do not work and are greyed out not allowing me to log in or log out

I have increasingly been frustrated with firefox not allowing me to log in and or log out of important websites in which i pay my bills online This happens because the toolbar buttons are greyed out. It makes this feature non functional, therefore I have to resort to closing the website page without logging out. Can you tell me how to fix this problem? When i click on the buttons there is no response; its as if they were drawn.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Auto Sync and Sync Settings suddenly greyed out, not accessible?

Hello Folks
This morning I was trying to add some keywords to a library by adding them to one image and then using auto-sync to add to all images, but auto-sync and sync settings are totally greyed out.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I may have done for this to happen.
I am using LR3 on a iMac.

Upgraded my iphone to ios 5 now the wifi settings is greyed out saying "no wifi"

Hi today i update to IOS 5 on my Verizon iPhone 4 and now my wifi doesnt work. When i go to configure my wifi place next to were it says wifi in the settings is greyed out and says "no wifi". i obviously cant tap it and configure it. I dont know what's going on! it was working on IOS 4.2.10 literally 2 minutes before updating and now it doesnt work! i have NOT dropped my iPhone or spilled anything on it. The update seems to have "killed" my wifi. if anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated seeing as to how i dont have unlimited data and need wifi

I'm having the same problem with my AT&T iPhone 4.
After installing ios5, WiFi was greyed out in settings. I turned my phone off and back on, and wifi was back. It saw my 2 routers, and allowed me to input my WEP passwords for them, but then, when I went to an app that used wifi, Safari, it wouldn't connect, and listed "Not Connected" Going back into WiFi prefs, it appeared to be searching for networks, but didn't find any. Not my 2, nor any of the neighbors. I usually see 3-4 networks other than my own.
Turn it off and on again, WiFi greyed out again.
Reset all settings - Wifi back, but with the same results as the first time.
Reset network settings - Wifi still greyed out.
I see this has happened at other new iOS releases, but never to me. Hopefully there will be a patch soon. I do have unlimited data, but dang 3G is slow.
I'm going to back up my phone this morning, and do a restore to factory settings, and see what that does, besides totally screw up all my apps.

Both my Wifi and my iCloud backup are greyed out.

My wifi and iCloud backup are greyed out on my Iphone 4S and i can't switch them on. I have erased all content and then restored it but it doesn't work. What should I do to fix it?

Use this article: support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Follow all of the troubleshooting steps. You can even try restoring the device as new: support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
If within warranty, it should be free.
If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.

On iPhone 5c iOS 8.2, I go to settings, cellular, use cellular data for: Under "use cell data for are my apps but they are greyed out how can I ungrey them??

iOS 8.2 on iPhone 5c, goto settings, cellular, use cellular data for: all my apps under "use cellular data for" are greyed out. I've restart and hard reset. Looked thru all settings. Can someone help??

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?

Trying to email database backup notification, boxes are greyed out

Hi all,
I am running OEM Grid Control version 10.2.0.3.0. I have properly setup an SMTP server, with all of the notification rules, and it all works fine, as far as notifying me when a database is down, tablespace gets full, etc...
However, for some reason, I can't get it to send an email notifcation from a db backup job. I have an existing job, that does a full backup of a 9.2 database, and it all works fine. But now when I go in and edit the job, then click on the Access tab, at the bottom I see the "Email notification for owner" section, and I see the 5 boxes that could be checked, Scheduled, Running, Suspended, Completed, Problems. But all of the checkboxes are greyed out - I can't check any of them. Does anyone know why this might be? I thought it might be because this is backing up a 9i database, but then I went and checked for my backup jobs against 10g databases, and I see the same issue. I am the owner of all of these jobs, and I am a "Super Administrator", so I don't know what else to check...
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

Hi all,
Just wanted to update this issue, in case anyone was interested. I ended up logging an SR with Oracle, and got a reply back that this is a known issue, here's what they said:
This is a known issue. I assume here you've gone into the database pages and scheduled a b
ackup job from there, then when you look in the jobs tab you cannot edit the not
ifications for the job. You cannot edit the notifications for this type of job.
Here is what you can do:
1. Go to your Database --> Maintenance --> Schedule Backup
2. Work through the backup wizard until the review page.
3. Copy the RMAN script from this page.
4. Click on the Jobs tab --> Create Job "RMAN Script" --> Go
5. Paste the copied script from 3. under the parameters tab.
6. Go to the Access tab and you will now be able to set E-Mail Notification for Owner

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.

You probably have changing settings disabled in Restrictions.

Outlook 2010 - Some sent emails are greyed out

Hello,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 terminal server with Office 2010 installed,on which 10 users connect and work. Every user have his own email profile.
On only 2 users, randomically some sent emails are duplicated, and one of the two copies is greyed out and barred. Looks like it has someway been deleted, but the users didn't delete those emails as the greyed out duplicate shows up immediately
after the user clicks on send.
If the user double-clicks on the greyed out item, it opens with no issues, and as soon as the user closes the email, it's not greyed out and "barred" anymore, but there are still 2 copies.
The issue is completely randomic, not all the sent mails are affected.
The email profile is configured in IMAP and it's attached to a non-exchange mail server.
The other users have never been affected by this issue, but the IMAP configuration is the same for all the users in the domain.
How can I troubleshoot this?
Thanks

thanks but it's not due to deletion, as I told in the first post "Looks like it has someway been
deleted, but the users didn't delete those emails as the greyed out duplicate shows up immediately after the user clicks on send"
