Running 10.4.8. Grayed out "Send" Icon on Newly Composed Email

Help! Woke up this morning and "send" icon is grayed out on newly composed email but active on reply emails to received messages. Ran permissions repair. Don't really know what to do but extremely annoying (and weird). Did not make any changes to systems. Any advice gratefully accepted!

Were they saved as drafts?
You should really update to the final version of Tiger 10.4.11:

Grayed-out "Send" button

Yesterday I had no problems sending messages, but this morning when I tried to send an email, the "Send" button is grayed out, not allowing me to send any messages. I tried changing the recipient, but it's grayed out on any message that I try to send.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Probably an "offline" SMTP server.
Meaning under "accounts" pref in Mail. There is a server that is listed under "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" is probably listed as offline. If you click on it, the option to bring it back online should be presented.

Forms -- Run Auto Field Detection Grayed Out

After using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 successfully for 2 1/2 years I have run into a problem: all of a sudden I cannot create forms from already created PDF files.
My last form was in March, but now the " Run Auto Field Detection" is grayed out.
What should I do to correct this problem ? For our business this is important and the time difference is 1-2 hours versus 3-5 minutes.

GRAYED OUT GMAPS ICON

I added google maps to the home screen before the new release. I cannot delete this icon now - it is grayed out. I tied itunes but gmaps does not show in the apps list. I went to list view and gmaps was not there either. Any ideas?

Solved my own problem. A little more research on this forum (message.jspa?messageID=10637914) showed me that there is a tiny switch inside the headphone port. Pushing a long thin piece of plastic into the port reset the switch and made my external speakers work again.

Why is "POP or IMAP" grayed out in setting up a new email account in Outlook 2013?

Can anyone share with me how to make it avail? Thanks.

Hi,
Do you mean the "POP or IMAP" bullet is grayed out?
If this is the case, please open your registry editor and check if the following registry values exist and the value data is set to 1:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options
Name: DisableIMAP
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options
Name: DisablePOP3
If this is the case, change the value data of the two values to 0 and then test the issue again.
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
Steve Fan

Grayed out camera icon

A friend and I both have macbooks. I looked in my buddy list and she is shown as available. Her green camera icon kept going from green to gray and so on. What does this mean?

Hi SE G-Dog,
In theory, yes. In prcatice it depends on how in synch the AIM servers and the updates from them that you get are.

Os lion sidebar is grayed out????

Just started using my new 27" iMac w/ OS 7 Lion and noticed a few quirks that are really bugging me.
1. The side bar is completely grayed out. Icons are no longer in color. It is extremely annoying. I don't want to have to READ the name of each file when clicking rapidly - I want to recognize the icon. What are icons for??? This is ridiculous.
2. The size of the fonts on the menu bar, etc on the 27" screen are too small. If I change the resolution the words become larger so I'm not straining to read, but they are out of focus. Why can't you change the font size on your menu bar, etc without compromising quality? My choices are to squint, or strain.
3. Mail - Again - with the grayed out icons. Give me a break.
Bottom line is that creative professionals use Macs. Don't change icons to gray. If I wanted gray, dull, boring and hard to navigate I would buy a PC.
In the meantime, does ANYONE have a clue how to change this?

You can't; not without hacking, at any rate. The icons in the Sidebar and in Mail are now grey, with no option to change. Fonts in menus, etc are and always have been fixed pixel hights and widths and will appear smaller when you move to a screen with a higher resolution. You can change some font faces and sizes with third-party utilities such as TinkerTool, but such changes can cause unexpected negative consequences with some functions and applications.
You can comment to Apple on this here, if you wish:

Why is my ".Mac Account" inbox item grayed out?

I noticed this yesterday and it is still grayed out in my list of Inboxes. I have 3 inboxes, my .mac email, my gmail, and a personal domain's email. I am still able to receive mail in my .mac inbox though.
Observations:
Sending mail takes a little longer in the "sending" phase, than when I send from my personal domain.
If I mouse over the inbox (sometimes) it indicates that the mailbox is invalid at mail.mac.com server.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alfredo

This morning I noticed it is no longer grayed out. You're right, I was prompted the other day for my .mac password. I wonder if it has anything to do with the new web mail they are rolling out? Like I said, even though it was grayed out, I was able to receive email sent to my .mac account. I was also able to read .mac mail on the web. Oh well, its back to normal now. Thanks for the help.

I have duplicate email accounts icons, NOT recieving duplicate emails just two of the same email icons

I had a blackberry curve 8310 with ATT. I transferred carriers and got a new bold 9650 with sprint. I transferred data from old curve to new bold. But the old email didn't work on new bold. So I went to set up BIS with sprint, it added email account that works. But now I have two icons with the same email address. One works and one doesn't so it is confusing when I am selecting address to compose email. How do I delete email icon/account. I hid the icons but when composing email, it still shows two of the same email in the From:

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

On a new mail message in Yosemite there is no Send button or icon. Only a grayed out word that says "send. I can receive mail but not send because nothing at top of email allows sending. Please help. This is true of two .me accounts I have.

Hi,
It may pay to send a Screen Shot of the Connection Doctor info. (see the Window Menu)
It would seem the IMAP or POP side is logged in bit the out going STMP server is not.

Grayed out "No Service" on Safari icon sending email link

Since I upgraded to Yosemite, I get a grayed out "No Service" message when I click on my email icon link (square box with arrow point up) on Safari. I am on a website, say Apple store, and I want to email the page or link to someone to show them a product. Is there a setting I should adjust to activate this feature, please? Many thanks.

Follow the instructions in this article released by Apple.

Server connections not consistent. Folders grayed out with warning icon

For some reason, my mail.app has started showing grayed out folders and accounts with warning icons. Even though I am able to receive/send, mail seems to think the connection is not working. When I click on the icon, it reads "The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server <"
I am using port 26 since my ISP blocks port 25, and I've been doing this with no problems for years...now all of a sudden it's become a problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I already used keychain first aid, and that didn't seem to change anything.
My ISP recently went through a server migration which has caused me a lot of problems, which is when this started happening, but they can't seem to solve the issue on their end.
btw, this is happening on multiple computers (both listed below), and I also access my accounts through iPhone.
Thanks in advance.

Abode Reader X Save Icon is grayed out.

I have a Lenovo x220 running Windows 7 and when I open a pdf in Adobe Reader X, it won't let me just "save". I can "save as" but I can not just save. The icon for saving is also grayed out. When I hit Ctrl + S, nothing happens. It will save under "save as" just fine though.

What I've been doing is using the keyboard command Ctrl+Shift+S, which brings up the Save As... dialog box.
Like thinksink, I receive PDFs by email. I scan documents using our printer/scanner/fax machine, and it sends the documents to my email account as PDF files. By default, the documents are named "scan.pdf", and it is inconvenient to type in a different document title before sending. So, when scan.pdf arrives in my inbox, I open the file to ensure that the document has scanned correctly, and if it has, I save it to the appropriate folder on my drive.
In Reader 9, I could click the Save... button (which was NOT greyed out), and the Save As... dialog box would open. I think the first time I did that, I was shown a warning that changes to the document could not be saved and if I wanted to save it, I would have to save it to a file with a different name. Since this is exactly what I intended to do, everything worked great. And, I didn't have to see the warning every time because there was a "Don't show me this again" check box.
Another related annoying change from Reader 9 is that Reader X doesn't remember what folder I saved the last document to. In the Save As... dialog box, the saving process for each document always starts in the temporary folder that Outlook stores attachments in, and I have to work my way through the directory tree to save each file. This occurs even when I leave the application running and just close the last document.

Why is Messages screen sharing icon grayed out?

Trying to do remote screen sharing with my mom's Mac using the new feature in Yosemite.
If you're not familiar with it, the new method does not require AIM, Jabber, etc and is independent of screen sharing settings in System Preferences (per Messages Help).
The procedure is:
In the main Messages window, select the name of the person you want to share with or, if you haven't previously exchanged messages, do so now.
Click 'details' on the right of the top bar of the main window.
In the menu that pops up, there are three icons: screen sharing, video chat, and audio chat/phone call. Click the screen sharing icon and send a request.
Today, my mom signed into her Messages account and we successfully exchanged iMessage messages (not SMS).
When I clicked 'details' the screen sharing and phone call icons were grayed out (or, more accurately, 'blued out' - they were a fainter shade of blue).
I clicked another name in the Conversations list and then clicked back to my mom's name. When I clicked 'details' this time, the screen sharing icon was no longer grayed out, so I sent a request to share her screen. She didn't receive the request, so I canceled it.
When I clicked on 'Details' again, the screen sharing icon was grayed out again. As far as I know, nothing had changed on my mom's end.
What could cause the screen sharing icon to be grayed out? And what could cause it to toggle back and forth between grayed out and normal?
Both computers are running the latest version of Yosemite, 10.10.3. Mine is a 2009 Mac Pro 8-core with 16 GB RAM, hers is a MacBook Pro from around 2012 or 2013.
Thanks!

Hi,
(He did say that he'd heard that due to changes in Google's system that their accounts no longer work with Messages.)
What he has heard and what are true are two different things
Logged in Google account
There are issues with Messages using SSL to login to the Google Talk server and Google saying SSL is Less Secure (there is a setting to Enable Less Secure apps like Mail that also uses SSL and Messages).
Some people find that 2 step Verification cannot be set at Google's Account settings if your want to use the Less Secure Apps setting.
1. I deleted my AIM account from Messages and had my mom do the same. The result is that we each only have two items in the Accounts window of Messages: an iMessage account (signed in with our Apple IDs) and a Bonjour account.
2. Clicking on the Details menu, the screen sharing icon was available for both of us. It was not grayed out.
This is using two different Methods of Screen Sharing in Messages (It is silly it has two but there we go)
For AIM use the Buddy List and the icons at the bottom or highlight the Buddy and use the Buddies Menu
DO NOT USE the Details option.
For iMessages start text chat then use the Detail Option an NOT THE BUDDIES Menu.
For the iMessages Method you have to Enable System Preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing to allow the App to be Invoked.
(It is like FaceTime is invoked but only works to Macs)
As you mention the Connection Doctor only refers to the older "iChat Method for Aim and Jabber and Bonjour - if you can Video you should be able to Screen Share with that method.

Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?

Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.
