Safari screen is grayed out, only thing I can type is control bar

What should I do to be able to control screen again?

Hi Brian,
Try restarting your device. Hold down the sleep wake button, then slide to power off.
If this doesn't work, then run a reset. Hold down both the shome button, and the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears.

My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How to bring it back to life?

My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How can I restore it back to life?

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. then hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to start up.
You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep button and home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears (takes about 10 seconds) - ignore the red slider.

That is usually the fix but try this now.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if that helps.
You can also try this - quit Safari. From the home screen - Double tap the home button and your recent apps appear the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it wiggles. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Tap the home button twice. Restart the iPad.

When i log onto safari the screen is grayed out and i no touch features are functioning

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Adobe Flash Player has blocked me from using FF. A box shows up and the upper screen is grayed out

When I start FF, a small box comes up in the upper middle of the screen - it is from Flash Player and it has two selections: allow and deny. With this flash player box, the upper third of the screen is grayed out. It will not allow use of most visited, bookmarks, or anything that is to be initiated at the top of the page. Even if I start a program, I cannot use the upper controls for that program. This is the second day that it has been blocking my use of FF. Note: I also use Seamonkey, but it has not been affected by the flash player problem. I have re-installed flash player, re-booted, restarted FF, and no changes have come about. I am still blocked from using FF. In fact, I am using this support page on Seamonkey.

this sounds really strange, could you attach a screenshot of the issue?
another thing you can try to troubleshoot the issue is a clean reinstall: remove firefox from the windows control panel & chose to remove all personal data in the uninstaller. afterwards manually check if the firefox program folder got deleted (it's usually in ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox'') and else remove it manually. then download & install a fresh copy at getfirefox.com
if this doesn't work either please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

Safari page is grayed out

New iPad, worked flawlessly from the start. Now Safari page is grayed out, cannot move the displayed page, can enter web address in address bar but cannot select anyting on the page. Ideas? I have a feeling it's something simple. Thanks!!

Hi,
Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the History, Cookies, and Cache
Restart your iPad. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until you see the red slider then swipe the slider to the right to power off. Then hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the Apple logo.
Try Safari.
If you still have problems, post in the iPad forum here.
This is the Safari for Mac forum. Takes awhile to learn how to find the new discussions forums with the new format.

Leopard iChat Screen Sharing Grayed out

Hi there-
I'm experiencing an issue with the new "Share my screen" feature of Leopard OS X 10.5. I've been able to successfully establish a connection with two other people in both directions (letting them control my screen, and controlling their screen), however have had issues connecting to my father (whom, of course, would be the most useful to have the feature with for support/troubleshooting).
Basically, in iChat the option to request control of his screen is grayed out when I attempt to connect to him. On his end, his option to share his screen is grayed out. Interestingly, my option to share my screen with him is available and he can request control of my screen, but it never actually connects.
Are there any firewall ports that need to be open on our routers? Has anyone else seen this problem?
I have an intel based 24" iMac (the white model), and he has the brand new 20" iMac.
I wasn't sure whether to post here or in the Leopard Forum, so I'll post in both.
Thanks for your help!
Joel

I've done that, to both iMacs (Intel based) though i still have them grayed out. Before, when the other computer's screen sharing was turned off, and mine was on, i was able to offer him to share my screen, but once he activated his Screen sharing from the System Pref. we both are having the Screen sharing button grayed out in Bonjour and AIM Buddy List.
Any hints? much appreciated
Thanks in advance

I bought an unlocked iphone 5 with 32mb especially so I could use any wireless carrier that I wanted to. Why does apple hold me prisoner to use only the carriers that apple wants????? The only thing I can't do is send and receive picture messaging.

I specifically bought and paid for an unlocked iphone 5 from APPLE so that I could use any wireless carrier I wanted to. I have been paying ATT WAYYY too much money the last 20 years. But for some reason APPLE wants to keep me from using any wireless carrier - and I can only use the carriers that APPLE will let me. WHY???? I paid my money!! I expected a lot more than I got. The only thing I can't do is send or received picture messages, but it makes me so Mad that I can';t do that!!!

If you bought an unlocked iPhone then it will work with any carrier but will work only under the restrictions or requirements the carrier sets for its customers. Apple has nothing to do with that. You are describing a problem of restricted access created by the carrer. If you cannot carry out the functions you want, talk to the carrier and see what limits they are placing on you. An unlocked iPhone is fully capable of all functions the carrer allows.

I came to Apple Store fix my iPad and they told me the only thing they can replace it for $254 but I forgot to ask Wich iPad they would replace it with I have the iPad 1

I concur with Ralph; while you can get your iPad replaced, I likewise suggest you consider putting the money toward a newer iPad. Apple has some good deals on refurbished iPads in the online Apple Store you could check out. Depending on what is wrong with your current iPad, you might be able to sell it to someone for parts - eBay is the most likely venue - and recoup some additional money to put toward a newer iPad. I'd recommend a 3rd-generation iPad if you can afford it, though the iPad 2 will still run the most recent version of iOS.

I bought Adobe Elements 12; I cannot use panorama photomerge, I have followed the directions to go to Full Edit mode in edit workspace> choose File> New> Photomerge. However the Photomerge does not work, it does not respond.
The only thing I can come up with is that I found a blog that said that in the Trial version Photomerge does not work, however I do Not have the Trial version, I did at one time but I purchase Adobe Elements. Thank you.

The blog was incorrect. Photomerge should work in the trial, too.
When things get weird in PSE the first thing to do is to delete the prefs. Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:

You'll need to contact Orange again and try to get someone who knows what they're talking about.

Safari internet screen remains grayed out

My mother did something to the Safari internet page and now its all grayed out. I can still see the webpages like normal, but the whole screen looks to be highlighted gray and I can't click on anything on the page. The search bar function still works and goes to other pages, but nothing else does because of the gray highlight. Any suggestions how I can unhighlight the page?

Nevermind...found the answer.
Clear cookies, browser and cache.
Shut off and turn back on...........works like normal.
