Recognizes Network but 'Join' Option is Greyed Out

Hi All!
I'm visiting my parents in Brasil for the next 4 weeks. They have WPA wireless internet in their house. My MacBook Pro's (OSX 10.5.8)airport sees their wireless network and allows me to type in their passowrd. BUT, the 'Join' button is greyed out. So I can't log onto it. Why is it greyed out? I've tried restarting a few times but to no avail. I've also tried other networks but I have the 'join' option with them. Ummmmm...I'm stumped.
I've checked a variety of different forums and did some google searching but can't find anything. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post
http://thebigboss.org/guides-iphone-ipod-ipad/dfu-mode
Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

    Hello Den53,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

    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.

  • I have an MP4 home vid in itunes.  I cannot get it onto my ipad. I tried "create new version" to make it into a format suitable for ipad, but the options were greyed out.  Any help appreciated.

    I have created a home video, using my Panasonic Camera, and a high definition SD card.  It is now on my computer as anMTS file, which I converted into an MP4 as well.
    But I cannot get this file onto my ipad.  I have tried countless ways.  I finally today thought I had the answer..........the MP4 file is now in Itunes (I hate itunes, it is so user-unfriendly) and I read that I need to click on it, go to "create new version" and select the ipad version.  But those options were greyed out.  !!!  Aaargh!  Frustration!  Any help gratefully recieved.

    You can try and import your MP4 using free OPlayer HD Lite via File Sharing.

  • CS6 Encore launches but all options are greyed out

    The headline says it all. I'm using CS6 on a MacBook Pro, OS 10.7. Previously Encore has worked well. After the most recent update, Encore will launch but all of the options are greyed out. I can't start a new project, etc. When I try to open a previous Encore project, I receive an error message that some needed software is missing. Any ideas to help me solve the problem? With many thanks.

    I suspect that same sort of issues that one gets when the activation is messed up. I think the resolution is deactivate and reactivate.
    Are you missing any presets in Premiere? I would look at some of the issues in the Premiere forum to further diagnose the problem and look for the recommended fix.

  • 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.

  • New User Question:  How do I enable comments in Reader when this option is greyed out on my menu?

    I cannot figure out what I am missing here.  I have a PDF Portfolio completed and now want to E-Mail for Review.  But this option is greyed out on my Comment Menu dropdown list.  What to do?  Thanks!

    Two Places to Check
    In iChat in the Video menu (May say Audio) to the right of the Buddies one there is Camera Enabled. It should show a tick next to it.
    Next in the View Menu the Show Video Status item also needs a tick.
    If those two items are ticked then go to the Apple icon top left > About this Mac > More Info button to open the System Profiler.
    Use the reveal Triangles and go to Hardware > USB and see if the camera is listed.

  • Help  - Subclip option is greyed out

    I'm trying to make subclips from a long clip but the option is greyed out. What causes this? What are my other options for making subclips? I'm using Premiere Pro 2014 CC. The video and the audio were recorded from two different sources and manually synced up.

    - Is the computer authorized for the accounts used on the iPod?
    - Was the iPod previous synced to another computer? If so and you want to make this computer your syncing computer see:

  • Firefox 4.01 downloads files but the downloads windows greys out the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options and I can't trace the files

    Three days ago I upgraded to Firefox 4.01. I downloaded several files that were ok. Yesterday and today I downloaded one powerpoint file and a an apple *.dmg file.
    On the Download window these two files I can see with the total mb in size. However when I right click the file list in the Download window the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options are greyed out. What is more I cannot find these files anywhere on my computer when I use Windows Explorer to search.
    It seems that this happened after I tried to download a Firefox add on from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/64761/amazonassist-0.7.2.6-fx.xpi and my antivirus picked up the JS/Kryptik.AK trojan and terminated the connection. Is there a link with the problem I am experiencing?
    I use Windows 7 professional, Firefox 4.01

    You're welcome

  • I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

    I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

    So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
    hope others find this useful.
