Satellite C870-12E - BIOS settings greyed out

I recently noticed that i cannot change settings in BIOS anymore, almost all settings are greyed out. I'm not sure when this happened, maybe after updating to BIOS version 1.6 but it could also happened after upgrading to Windows 8. I'm just not sure. What i do know that it was ok before.
What i did notice is that in the Post-screen (where you can use F2) on the lower right side of the screen there is a sort of Power button Logo which i never noticed before.
All efforts to push whatever buttons falied to edit settings in the BIOS.
Hope someone can help out.
Thanks...

Tried it with and without supervisor password.
In the first post i mentioned the Powerbutton like logo with blue dots around it in the first boot screen. The strange thing is that my wife has exactly the same laptop and version 1.6 BIOS but she doesn't have that logo and can edit the BIOS settings without any problem.
So i keep wondering if that logo has something to do with it. Is it asking me to press and/or hold a certain key combination? I've tried anytihing i could think of but nothing works.
I also tried switching Fast- and Normal boot once again with no result.
Even with Fastboot enabled i still get the "F2" screen :(
Problem remains that under any circumstance i can enter the BIOS but not change anything but the user password.

If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it.

Linux Flashplayer10 settings greyed out

Hello,
since the update to Version 10 (I think) I can not access the settings when I right click on a flash. The settings greyed out. What can I do to access the settings again?
My system: Ubuntu Hardy with FF 3.0.15 and FlashPlayer 10,0,32,18
Thanks for help.

Hi, You can use this test site and it will also display what version of Flash Player Installed. The version you listed is very old.

Extremegamer flexijack settings greyed out. Need h

Third post for what seems to be a common problem yet without an answer or solution.
Hardware :
X-FI extremegamer
Problem :
The flexijack settings are greyed out and the flexijack can not be set as microphone in none of the three modes.
Aswer received so far in this forum:
You don't need to set it since it auto detects what it is plugged.
Why that answer is not reliable :
In the CREATIVE "how to" it says that, to use the flexijack as a secondary microphone plug, you have to set it to microphone. There is a screenshot, where you see those setting but WE DO NOT HAVE IT. ALL I CAN SEE ARE THE SAME SETTING BUT GREYED OUT. I am unable to set the flexijack to whatever.
Like I said, CREATIVE clearly states that, the flexijack is a multipurpose plug but its function needs to be set accordingly.
My motherboard audio card is disabled in the bios, my drivers are up to date. And I did try to uninstall and reinstall them.
Thanks in andvance.

Has anyone resolved this? No, and that's the problem. If it's only some?darn drivers, what is the issue with making a patch? Is it actually something physically disabled? If so, that makes me pretty irritated because if the less expensi've XtremeMusic or an older Audigy can do it and they removed it one the nicer, more expensi've XtremeGamer model?Seriously, what true gamers out there don't have a headset? Hell, most competiti've play clans have a Ventrillo channel, no?You're telling me Creative, what is -- or at least was - - perhaps the best sound card manufacturer on this planet makes a card specifically for gamers that screws up with the mic input because they have disabled a function to manually control the?flexijack?! That's INSANE
!!! Again here's the link to the UWE (makers of Natural-Selection, a Half-Life mod) forum thread I had created to try and figure out my problem. I have also posted the limited reply from Creative tech support. Note the time & date, as they have not replied since. And yes I did reply to that e-mail that same day.http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?s=87823059048909320&showtopic=0053?There are multiple users with this problem. Can we please get some help on this?Message Edited by the_x5 on 04-5-20070:25 PM

Apple File Settings "Greyed" out?

I'm trying to access the Apple File Setting pane of a folder that is shared through my workgroup manager however all the settings have been greyed out. Specifically I want to toggle the option of Inherit permissions from parent as opposed to the current setting "Use standard POSIX behaviour". Must be something simple, any ideas?

If ACLs are enabled for the volume ("drive") that houses the sharepoint(s) in question, then the AFP inherit-permissions option is not available by design.
Even if you're not using ACLs yet, if they're enabled for the drive, then the AFP option in question is unavailable.
Check in Workgroup Manager (changing to view drives instead of sharepoints)
if ACLs are enabled.

Color and Color Management boxes in Print Settings greyed out. Using PS CS5.1 with Mac OSX 10.9.5.

For some reason, the above boxes are now greyed out when I go to Print Settings and I am getting prints that are badly distorted. Was working perfectly a few days ago and can't understand why this has suddenly happened ? Am now confused as to what settings I should have in the Color Management dialogue box in order to get back to the correct operation.

I've also been having this problem. My computer now consistently shuts down between 10 seconds and 2 minutes of startup. This only happens if my computer is not plugged in. (my battery has been between 70-90% the entire time.) If I keep it plugged in...no problems.

SAP Gui 7.20 Configure Color Settings Greyed Out

Hi, I have installed the new SAP Gui 7.20 patch 1 on 2 machines at my company. On one machine we can easily change the color settings for each theme. On the other PC, we can not go into "Configure Color Settings" to change the colors for any theme. The button is greyed out. I followed the extact same installation procedure and have the same access to both as well.
Has anyone seen this issue before and know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Marty

Another classic SAP problem where the solution involves patting your head while simultaneously scratching your nuts and jumping up and down.
Follow these steps:
1. open SAP Login Pad.
2. open up a client and click on the 'Customise Local Layout' icon (Alt + F12).
3. Select 'Options...'
4. Select the ironically named 'Enjoy Theme'.
5. Click 'Apply'
6. Click on 'Ok' and close the client windows and the SAP Logon Pad. Note: you must close restart the SAP Login Pad for the them changes to take effect.
7. open the SAP Login Pad.
8. open up a client and click on the 'Customise Local Layout' icon (Alt + F12).
9. Select 'Options...'
10. click on 'Colors in System'
11. select your favourite colour and click on 'Apply'.
12. click on 'Ok'.
If this post can stop even one person from going insane it will have been worth it.

My inbox/ view/ zoom in or out settings greyed out. Can't enlarge text! Thunderbird ver 31.4.0

The problem is simply, that the zoom setting is there, but greyed out and doesn't work for the inbox text.
Once I open an e-mail, the zoom works fine.
I'm using a large screen HD TV connected to the PC via HDMI with 1920X1080p resolution, which makes text small. I only have this problem with Thunderbird 31.4.0!
I've used the PC on 2 different TV's, and have the same problem. I've also gone into all the Thunderbird settings, and cannot find a fix.

Try using a add-on like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer/?src=ss theme-font-size-changer]

Help, Redirector not working, Email settings greyed out

This was working. I had everything set up and then I can only assume last weekend when I installed and update from MS it cancelled everything.
Now when I open the Desktop Manager, my email settings are greyed out, I can't sync my messages or calendar. When I click on it, it says, "Email settings are not available without an online connection to your messaging system." When I go to sychronize and try to configure it, there is no Outlook user profile to choose from. I have added another user profile in outlook and tried again, but there are still no profiles to choose from in the dropdown menu.
Also, when I open up Redirector, I get the message. "Could bot start the Redirector: the connection to your messaging system could not be initialized".
I know these are both related, there is something I'm forgetting. I have went through the forums and tried several things that appear to be the same, but none have worked. Anyone have a suggestion?
I don't know that it matters, but I've got a Bold and using Outlook 2007.

Hi again, I have reinstalled the DM 5.0 & chose the BES type installation even though I am not using that. This enable me to use the Redirector properly again
Interesting...FWIW -- Redirector is pretty much designed strictly for Enterprise users (MS Exchange, Notes, etc.) whose firms do not host an internet facing interface to their corporate email (OWA, POP, etc.). Redirector is designed for those users to leave a client PC running, inside of the corporate network, with their email client (Outlook) running all the time. The redirector interfaces with the client and manages the communication (via the internet connection from their firm) with their single BB.
BIS is designed as the interface for normal internet-facing email accounts. With BIS, there is no need for the redirector since BIS, hosted at your carrier, interfaces directly with your email server (GMail, Yahoo, etc.) and manages the link between them and your BB (for email only).
Since your PC client is interfacing, across the internet, to your email (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), then BIS can do the same thing -- they are both, quite simply, IMAP/POP client interfaces to such servers...
Anyway, if you want to rid yourself of the desktop redirector, then you might want to consider BIS for internet-facing email interface to your BB.

Can't change APN settings (greyed out)

Hi, I have been reading a lot about my problem on this forum and on other BB-forums. I hope someone can help me because the historic forum-answers were quite depressing. . . I bought my new BB Q10 - without a simcard - last week from a well known Dutch webshop. I inserted my Rabo Mobiel simcard that I used in my BB curve. With the BB Curve and this simcard I have been emailing and browsing the internet for 3 years without problems. I can call and text with the BBQ10 but I can't get the internet working. The APN settings were already filled on this BB Q10 - unfortunately not with the APN name from Rabo Mobiel. It says: portalmmm.nl which is probably 'pre-installed' by Blackberry Holland and it is one of the APN names of the KPN provider in Holland. I can change the "portalmmm.nl" into "Rabo" but then I need to set Verification Type to PAP and that is not possible. The Verification field is greyed out and I cannot change it. I tried many ways and even tried to access the escreen:// option (which I couldn't get working) . I made phonecalls to Rabo Mobiel (they say they didn't change anything and no, they use no username and password for APN, only Rabo as account name), to the webshop (no we don't know who installs our Blackberries) and KPN (they gave me the telephone number of Blackberry but I can't get any one on the phone there!). The webshop says: please return your phone. But I know the next BBq10 will probably have the same problem. So can someone - preferably a Blackberry Technician - help me? I would really appreciate it! kind regards, Angela

hi (93) readers,
I was wondering if there's anyone who recognizes this, or can make any suggestions? Blackberry helpdesk at Twitter is not responding anymore and only tells me to go to retailer or provider (and they remain completely silent after that)
Thanx,
Angela

Why are SMTP server settings greyed out?

My dad's AOL account was broken into and he had to change his password. The problem is that he can't send mail from his iPhone anymore, and my guess is that the password in his outbound settings is incorrect. But all the SMTP settings for this account are greyed out.
Anyone know what the story is here?
Thanks.

It is nothing to do with allowed content. Grey bug was triggered because you selected a "helpful" profile in Add Account. If you are lucky SMTP credentials may be copied from your IMAP ones. I was able to change Gmail password with just IMAP.
BTW the password does not echo. This silly given that it is unlikely such a device would ever be used with a TTY or printing terminal. Password display would allow stronger passwords. I have not used or even seen a TTY in decades.
However, I am old enough to remember TTYs and sessions in the trash. If password did echo then you would only need the first part of a session.

No webcam, and Settings greyed out

Hi all,
When opening my movie in Flash Player (latest version) the webcam doesnt work. I dont see the dialog at the start (the 'Do you allow to use...' dialog) at all. Also, the settings accessed from the right click menu is permanently greyed out. However, when opening the same SWF in Flash itself, it works fine in both respects.
Other movies have Settings enabled just fine in Player, too.
Any ideas what might be going on? I can't see anything that matches anywhere on the web. Thanks very much in advance!

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. If anything is plugged into the audio-out (headphone) port, unplug it.
2. Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output. Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
3. You may need to darken the room for this step. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift, or if the boot volume is a software RAID key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
5. Reset the PRAM and NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
