Option to extend partition is grayed out in windows 2008 R2

Ok, so let's sum-up:
- You want to resize your Windows system partition (say C: )
- you failed resizing using Diskpart
- you failed resizing using a third-party server running Windows 2008 and its disk management tool (diskmgmt.msc)
- you failed resizing using Dell Extpart ...
- You have no credit to buy some EaseUS/Acronis/Partition Magic ... stuff
Then the only reliable (and last) solution you have is using Linux GParted, regardless your Partion is physical or virtual;
- if your partition is physical, good for you, boot on the Gparted CD and that would do the trick... just resize, that's a 2 mn Job.
- if your partition is a vmdk disk (VMWare), so you have to tweak your VM forcing it to boot on the GParted .ISO file (to do so: press the F2 key very quickly, as soon as the VM starts). From there, go to the Boot Option of the VM BIOS and select the CD-ROM
as the primary boot disk.
Reboot your VM, now it will automatically boot on GParted, and there you are : you CAN resize your Volume this way, it does work, the procedure is the same as if you resized a physical partition. When done, select 'Apply' and shut down your VM.
In VMWare, go back to the boot option and remove the Gparted "ISO" file from the boot menu (this will let Windows boot again).
Start your VM... Logon Windows... and now you can see your partition is successfuly resized.
You are happy, great Job!

You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
There may be (an)other way(s).
Perhaps someone with recent experience
in this matter can reply & discuss options.
With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
Good luck & happy computing!

TS4009 I have followed the steps above but when I get to the screen to select a downgraded option, the Done button is grayed out and won't let me select a new option. I see a lock up in top right-hand corner, but not sure how to unlock it.

I have followed the steps above for downgrading iCloud storage options, but when I get to the screen to select a downgraded option, the Done button is grayed out and won't let me select a new option. I see a lock in top right-hand corner, but not sure where to go to unlock it.

Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the iCloud icon.
Click the Manage button.
Click Change Storage Plan.
Click Downgrade Options.
Enter your Apple ID password, then click Manage.
Choose your current plan, then click Done.

Adobe Paper Texture Pro! Extension Grayed Out in Window

I installed this Add-On via my CC membership.It says in my CC Desktop APP that it is installed.
But when I open PS CC the "extensions" menu is grayed out under windows - where I was told to find from the Adobe Add-On page.
I've done all the trouble shooting suggestions with no luck!

Hi Jonathan,
I installed the Kuler Panel PS CC 2014 and the menu access for extensions in PS is still greyed out [WINDOWS:EXTENSIONS] I also added Dodge and Burn ... nothing shows, juts the greyed out 'Extensions' menu option. I've waited, waited more, restarted and restarted again .. still nothing. I reinstalled the Extensions Manager .. still nothing. The Add-ons show in the Add-ons page as installed .. ie they have a remove option button .... this has been the case since 29th June. I tried everything afresh today, and nope, nothing.

Uninstall Option for a package is grayed out in Software Center 2012 Client side but others have it available

Hi,
I created a deployment for an application that will use a Custom CMD to Install / Uninstall. Locally executing those files works perfect. The deployment installed the application and shows perfectly installed but:
Since this application is a user Self Service Application they should be able to hit to Install or Uninstall by themselves. The problem is that the Uninstall button is grayed out.
I noticed this problem for other applications too but some of them has this option available.
My question is if only the MSI Native Installer will get this option available or also the Script Installer can have it available.
I do have a Uninstall Program listed on the Deployment type as: "uninstall.cmd" before it hasn't had the quotes but even that still doesn't active the option Uninstall. I don't know if there is an option inside the UDI Wizard that I missed
to activate that will activate this option for this kind of deployments.
Please any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Kind regards.

Hi All,
I have the same problem like Joel, But my deployment is available and does not have a query to detect installed users. we have used direct membership in collection, still the option of uninstall is graded out for one of the application.
So far we have tried all the below options.
Created a new application and deployed to the targeted audience – Still not worked
Changed the detection method to Product code – Still not worked
Change the uninstall script – Still not worked
Refreshed client policies – Still not worked
Reboot is not pending – Still not worked
Policy Reset – Still Not worked
Client Repair – Still not worked
WMI Repair – Still not worked
Let us know any other solution/though to resolve the issue.
Regards,
Sri

Add (to dictionary) is grayed out in Word 2008 :o(

I have Word 2008 for Mac. I love the "add" to dictionary feature in the spell check but in mine, it's GRAYED OUT. Why? How can I enable this? I'm sick of "ignoring" my last name and other words I often use!
Thanks much!
Daisy

Thanks! I found the answer on that website. Here it is:
You'll need to set up a custom dictionary first. On the word you'd like to add to your custom dictionary, do a right-click or Control+click, select Spelling, and in the Spelling and Grammar dialog click Options. The Spelling and Grammar preferences pane should be displayed. For Custom Dictionaries, click on the Dictionaries button, put a check mark in the Custom Dictionary item box, and OK your way out of there.
Now you should be able to add any "misspelled" words to your custom dictionary.

How can I customize Firefox to eliminate the function where the browser grays out the window in order to highlight a question box?

Ever since I upgraded from Firefox 3 (which I waited so long to do because I couldn't customize the newer Firefox the way I wanted to) to Firefox 14.0.1, I have had a problem.
I guess that one of the websites I visit is trying to imitate Windows, where the background becomes grayed out whenever it wants you to concentrate on a response box. So when I am on a third-party email site (Inbox.com), and delete a message, when the message box pops up to ask me if I really want to delete the message, the background becomes grayed out while the response box is displayed. This never happened on that site when I used Firefox 3, and I would like to prevent this from happening.
I have tried to manage this with an add-on (Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus), but it won't allow me to select the grayed out part of the screen the way it does with unsolicited "pop-ups".
Is there a Firefox setting or an add-on I can use to keep the background from becoming "grayed out"?
Thank you

Thanks for responding.
It isn't that there is anything grayed out that I need to see, just that it would be a preference of mine to not have the graying occur. It didn't happen in build 3.
It's just that something about the graying strikes me as "bossy", and since it's my computer (and I should be able to control it as I please), it irritates me.
To answer your other post, I don't want to upgrade to build 20. Actually, I would rather return to 3, just to keep things like this from happening.
In version 3, I also had more control over the autocomplete function on some websites. I'm not talking about the autocomplete that fills in forms or passwords, but the autocomplete that occurs when you type in a search box on a website. I had eliminated almost all occurances of autocomplete by using various different things, until I got Firefox 14. Now I have to put up with it on a few sites, including one that I use often.
Every time I get a newer version of Firefox, I have to accept more and more things that I don't want to have in my browser.

5.0 LE Crop tool grayed out in Windows XP???

I've been using Photoshop 5.0 LE for many years on a Windows 98SE system. I recently installed it on my Windows XP system and it works great - except that the crop tool is grayed out - meaning I can't use it. It doesn't matter if I open a new project or open an existing image. It's still grayed out. Is this a known issue? Is there a patch to fix this?

You may get an answer but that version is pretty ancient.
You could try running the application in compatibility mode by right-clicking on the .exe file and under Properties > Compatibility pick an earlier OS.

Why is option to create striped volume grayed out in disk management?

I bought an ASUS UX32VD notebook. In the BIOS the 256 GB SSD is configured to Drive 0 and Drive 1 each 128 GB. I wiped out all the factory partitions on initial clean install to get rid of ASUS bloatware. Bad move it seems. However since Drive 0
= OS(C:) showed 91.6 GB of which only 51.3 were free and Drive 1 = DATA (D:) 116 GB with 112 GB free I figured a clean install would give me a portion of the missing 55 GB back. So my question is when I get to the section in the install process
how do I partition drives so Win 8.1 will recognize the RAID. RAID is set in the BIOS as well. On this my 5th or 6th attempt I created 2 equal partitions. After windows created it's 300 MB and 100MB partitons Disk Management shows Disk 0 (C:) 119 MB and
Disk 1 (D:) 119 MB. Still no RAID
I don't know that it is connected to the problem in Device Manager it shows Unknown Device PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller. After going into Hardware Ids and finding the ID a search finally got me to Intel and a driver
Download. Installed the D/L and still not working.
Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks Dan.

Thanks for the replies guys. From your post it appears my initial post is confusing. The 256 GB SSD is configured from the factory in the BIOS as (2) 128 GB Drives - 0 & 1. I don't know that I can change that nor want to. The sizes in Windows - This
PC - from the factory were;
OS (C:) 91.6 GB
DATA (D:) 116 GB
This indicated to me ASUS had some hidden partitions on C: I wanted to clean of bloatware and just run Windows and the programs I installed. After formating this last install the Drives show;
Local Disk (C:) 118 GB
Local Disk (D:) 119 GB
I appreciate losing some of disk space to indexing so I'm fine with the size now.
In Disk Management it shows
Disk 0 Basic 119.12 GB Online
300 MB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
100 MB Healthy (EFI System Partition)
(C:) 118.73 GB NTFS Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump Primary Partition
Disk 1 Basic 119.12 GB Online
(D:) 119.12 GB NTFS Healthy (Primary Partition)
So where did I go wrong on the Create Partitions page of the install? Next install elimiate all partitions again, fomat both drives and then force Windows to recreate the 300 MB and 100 MB partitions? As it stands now Drive (D:) shows 1 GB used but when
I open it - Show Hidden files - it says it is empty. Is RAID 0 being used?
Again appreciate your efforts and time.
Regards, Dan

Pan & Zoom option in Overlay Creator disabled/grayed out when trying to create scrolling text

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a scrolling text frame using the Paste Into method. I've created a long text frame, cut it, pasted into another frame. When I go to the Overlay Creator and click Pan & Zoom, it tells me to select a cropped image. I've tried an identical work flow on another computer and it works fine - the pan only radio button is available.
I've reinstalled the CS5 extensions, restarted my Mac and I can't resolve the issue. I only downloaded the extension tools last week, so I'd hope they aren't too out of date now. The About screen tells me I'm on 11.4.2.20111116_m_671500 7.0.3.13
Any help appreciated.
Adam

The best place to get the new builds is the DPS Dashboard (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com). You can also view the detailed help topic about installing:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html
If you install the Folio Producer tools and then the Folio Builder panel, you should be able to sign in just fine. Let us know if you still get the error.

Photostream grayed out on Windows 7 64-bit

Hi -
Photostream was working for me from Dec, 2011 - March, 2012. Then, suddenly it stopped working and no photos were getting "pushed" to my Windows 7 64 bit machine from my iPhone. I searched on Google and tried many fixes. One of the fixes was to uninstall/reinstall iCloud. After doing this, Photostream is now grayed (greyed) out on my Windows iCloud control panel. I have tried everything to get it to come back on but nothing works. Please help!

Well, I've never gotten this to work even with the iOS6 but I did find a solution. I completely uninstalled iCloud from my computer and turned it off on my iPhone. I use Carbonite to back up my Windows computer and now Carbonite has a mobile app that backs up all photos and videos from your iPhone to Carbonite. So, between Gmail which is syncing my mail, contacts, calendars and Carbonite which is backing up my photos and videos, I don't need iCloud. Thank goodness because clearly there is no support for it.

Options in edit global password policy grayed out

I'm trying to edit the global password policy (under users) to "be reset at first user login" but that option and several others are grayed out.

I guess you have uninstalled an older version of PS lately?
