Outline and Styles option grayed out when composing message in mail

When composing an email message using mail 6.2,I'm unable to view any styles options under the Format option in the toolbar as it's grayed out along with the Outline option. I do have the rich text button selected in my "New Message" toolbar in Mail and the text I want to apply the style changes to are selected.
I need to be able to use options like outline,superscript,subscript,etc. that are available in other email programs like Thunderbird without having to compose my email in TextEdit first,then copying and pasting it into Mail.Permissions have been repaired,and I have all of the latest Apple updates installed. Attached is a screenshot showing the grayed out areas in Mail.

Inspired Life,
In the five weeks since I posted the question,yours is the first comment(no comment from Apple).
I was able to find a work around for this issue by scouring the web for ideas,so this wasn't my solution.
Go to: http://presscheck.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/how-to-highlight-text-in-yellow-using -apple-mail/
While the example they make is for highlighted text,follow the guidelines to create other text styles as well.Once you've done that,they're available in Apple Mail.Just be sure to create a name for the each new style.

"Approve" menu option grayed out when connected as ORCLADMIN in admin mode

Hi everybody!
When I connect to Content as ORCLADMIN and switch to administration mode, I cannot use the "Approve" option in the menu when I select a non-privilege user library creation pending request 'cause it's grayed out no matter what (also tried configuring another user to be a library administrator and receive requests for approval). I have OCS 10.1.2.0.
Why can't I approve requests for library creation? Would it be a bug or I need to configure or grant something else?
Thanks.

Pull out tab pan and zoom option grayed out

I've been trying to follow this great tutorial about pull out tabs, but have one issue. I've just updated InDesign 5.5 Folio Builder to v.22 and the producer tools to the most recent release on August 7. Here is what I've been doing.
Create an unassigned box for the tab. Create an unassigned box for background. Create a text box and add text.
Group all of them together.
Create an image box (container frame) that is larger than my grouped content and paste the grouped content into it.
When I select the image box (container frame) and select Pan and Zoom, all options are greyed out.
If I clear the content from the image box and put a photo in it, I can use the Pan and Zoom options.
Any ideas on what I'm doing incorrectly? Thanks!
Tutorial I'm following.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/digital-publishing/pull-out-sliders-and-trays/

Thanks, for the record, I updated my steps to show the correct process.
Create an unassigned box for the tab. Create an unassigned box for background. Create a text box and add text. Create an unassigned box at the top left to "hold" the tab position to the right side of your document.
Group all of them together.
Create an image box (container frame) that is larger than the grouped content and paste the grouped content into it.
Select the image box (container frame) and choose Scrollable Frame with the options - Horizontal, check Hide for Scroll Indicators, and select Upper Left for Initial Content Position.
Thanks again Bob!

Default Browser, and Download option grayed out.

My default browser, and Download option buttons are grayed out, what may be the cause of this? I can't seem to find a reason... can someone give me a list of possible fixes for this?
Thanks.
BTW this is not the beta version.

Hi
There may be corruption in the Safari preferences file. In the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist file found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
Restart Safari. Select the Plug-in box. Quit Safari/restart. If this works you'll need to reset your Safari preferences to your liking, plus any custom settings found in the Edit Menu (spelling) or View Menu (status bar, Address bar, custom icons in the "Customize Address Bar" ).
Otherwise, move the original file on your desktop back to its original location.
If no joy, try the Safari Preferences from another User Account.

Save option grayed out when saving as???

I am just beginning the tutorial for FCP 5.1.2 but don't seem to be able to save the new tutorial project as the button for "save" is gray, not blue and therefore inaccessible. Also note that the format button in the same window with project as the default is also gray and inaccessible. Any thoughts as to how to get past this road block?
thanks,
Ol Pappy Joe

Thanks for responding. I think I have it all copied to my hard drive, at least the tutorial folder (Final Cut Studio Training) and something called Video-TS - they are both on an external LaCie and I am running the tutorial DVD off an external DVD player while performing the tutorial on my G5 where the FCP app is located. After I navigate to the Tutorial folder on the LaCie and find the Edit, then Project folders and try to save, the buttons for saving are gray???
Any more thoughts?
Thanks again.

When I attempt to use software Update, and am then prompted for my Apple ID and password, my apple ID is not complete and it is 'grayed out' so I cannot change it.

When I attempt to use Software Update, then go to 'Update All', I am then prompted to enter the password for my Apple ID, however my Apple ID does not come up as complete, and it is 'grayed out' and I cannot change it, therefore it is impossible for me to update my software. How can I change the Apple ID to the correct ID?

You need to delete the application and then download it from the desired Apple ID.

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. Help!

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. These extra pages resulted from using Autoflow and now we can't seem to get rid of them. Help!

Good morning Old Toad.
I did as you suggested:
1) Booted from install CD.
2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
So there's no change in my status.
I'm trying to delete the files because:
A) They already take .5 Gb.
B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

Muse trial version only has "close" for option under file menu and it's grayed out.

Muse trial version only has "close" for option under file menu and it's grayed out.

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line to make the hidden items appear again.

Scripe error ? option grayed out

I
I When I go to edit my page an alert pops up ... an error has occured in the scripe on this page . What does this mean and what is it doing to the program or preventing me from doing ?
I have a lot of options grayed out and not able to use when editing or making new pages? << highlight color, change text color, change size, change fonts. >> resizing images, page properties 5 out of 7 options grayed, etc. ... I checked under Administrators and all there looks okay and I am the only one using the program. I have gone to the Administrator Settings, then styles/fonts/size and all check for my use.
OOnly on two of my main pages are all of the options available to use on either a New or Edit page but none are available on the other tabbed pages of my website. Even if I cut and paste a document the color, size and font changes to what is on the page.

Don't make a text selection, but simply put your text cursor in the text with the new formats. Most likely, you have a mix of character formats selected.

After upgrade to 10.6.2 the" entire message" search option grayed out

Just upgraded to t10.6.2 but now in the mail when searching for a mail the entire mail search option is not available anymore it is there but it is grayed out it can not be activated. That was the beauty if mail.
on the other hand the To do button now works again
any idea

You have not said, but I would guess you are using an IMAP account? If so, then might it be that the selection in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced has gotten changed to not keep copies of messages (and/or attachments) for Offline Viewing? The Entire Mail search will be grayed out when copies of the messages are not stored locally.

"Access Control - Do Not Inherit" Grayed out when setting up a backup on Server 2008 R2 when trying to use remote NAS

I see one response here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c99eead0-e2fc-4c83-8cb2-959d03512667/server-2008-r2-dc-backup-greys-out-do-not-inherit-option-for-file-share-backup
But it makes no sense to me. Running that command doesn't do anything.
How do I make the box stop graying out when setting up a backup with the GUI interface? This should be really simple I would think and for some reason the backup utility is graying out the "Do Not Inherit" option so I can backup to the NAS
device that has access control enabled in order to backup to the NAS.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
From this article, it mentioned that it is by design that we cannot choose "do not inherit" in backup schedule when backup target is a remote shared folder.
Checklist: Schedule Automatic Backups
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732540.aspx
If you use a remote shared folder, make sure that the folder is available, that you have write access to the folder, and that you are a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group on the computer hosting the folder. Each time you create
a backup, it will overwrite the older backups so that you will only have one backup at a time.
The backup will inherit the access control list (ACL) permissions of the folder.
For the account it required, as mentioned above, it should be "a member of Admin group or Backup Operators group, and it should have write permission on target folder".
Also map a network folder as a drive will not help show the mapped drive letter in backup destination. It is still a remote shared folder.

Manage Cache option grayed out in online RPD

Ran into a problem today, trying to perform manual caching but cache option is grayed out when ascessing manage cache option, this is happening even though i have enabled the cache option in the NQSConfig file as follows
ENABLE=YES
YET IT IS GRAYED OUT WHEN I DO FILE -OPEN-MANAGE-CACHE, HAVE ALSO TRIED BOUNCING THE BI SERVER BUT NO LUCK.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.
Thanks in advance
LARRY

What version of OBIEE are you using? Assuming you are using 11g, providing a solution to enable cache in RPD.
1) Go to enterprise Manager.
2) Navigate to Business Intelligence > Core Application
3) Click on capacity Management tab > Performance
4) Lock and edit > Make sure cache enabled option is checked. ( This will add an entry to your NQSConfig file.
Hope this answers your question.
Award points if helpful.
Thanks,

Why is the email option grayed out from iphoto sharing

I am running iPhoto 9.5.1 on Mavericks. When I select a photo and try to share it the share menu has email and all the social meida options grayed out. Checking accounts in iPhoto my email accounts are there. I tried deleting and reinserting the one I want to use and restarting iPhoto, but it is still grayed out.

You need to update yoru profile - it says OS X 10.6.8
In the iPhoto preferences select an email client (I personally prefer Mail) and if you are using iphoto enter your email information in teh accounts tab (If you use Mail it will use yuro existing sset up)
Same for social media - enter your account information in the accounts tab

Airport option grayed out?

I just bought a used Macbook Mac OS X version 10.5.6 I am not able to connect to the internet because the only options it gives me are ethernet and bluetooth. I only have a wireless interenet connection and Airport is grayed out as an interface option in Network Prefrences I even tried to go into Airport uTilities and its says "AirPort Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices." I am currently on my own Macbook OS X with a different version and I have no problem connecting to my wireless through the airport. Can anyone help or do I need to take it to the apple store?

You should be able to get to your passwords if you are the admin.
"I set up my WPA2 network and checked the box to show the password and still when I go into AirPort I can't select the box."
Did you restart your computer afterwards?
Suggest that you cross-post in the AirPort where the AP users hang out if you are having problems.

Why are the options grayed out??

Why are the majority of my edit options grayed out. I cant copy and paste

OK. So we've established that you're in Photoshop CC on Windows 7 (nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat Reader).
What exactly are you trying to do in Photoshop CC? Can you outline in detail what steps you're taking and what's confusing you?
