Security Method is grayed out

I need to change the Security Method on a PDF file so I can reduce the file size with file optimizer.
The problem is the drop-down menu for Security Method (File > Properties > Security) is grayed out. Also, the button for "Change Settings" and "Show Details" are grayed out as well. Below, the Document Restructions Summary shows "Allowed" for everything listed.
In the meantime, "PDF Optimizer" remains grayed out and I need to reduced the size of a PDF.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks

You might try doing a Save As with a new name. It sounds like the file has Extended Reader rights.

After answering the three security questions on itunes connect the submit button is still grayed out. It looks like it could be an error on the website. Has anyone encountered this issue?

After answering the three security questions to update an app on itunes connect the submit button is grayed out. It looks like an error on the website. Has anyone ran into this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Locaton & Security (My Location) Settings Grayed Out

I recently added Where'sMyDroid from the marketplace (helps locate missing phone, gives GPS location of lost phone). After that, my GPS stopped working. Using the Android Power widget, I was able to turn it back on but when I go to Location & Security>My Location, only the E911 is shown in bold. The other three choices ("Google Location Services," Standalone GPS Services," and "VZW Location Services") are all checked in their green boxes but all three are grayed out leaving me unable to check or uncheck any one of them. Anyone else encountered this? May or may not be related at all to Where'sMyDroid...just that was the last thing that changed before I noticed the problem. Uninstalling that ap doesn't do it, either.

To get to the SYSTEM MENU :
- Power OFF
- Press & HOLD the HOME button (2nd button from left)
- Power up - continue to hold HOME
You'll see a triangle with the droid guy inside. Release the HOME button. Press BOTH the up/down vol. controls at the same time and you should see a Menu pop up ... use the down arrow to scroll through choices. Select WIPE SYSTEM CACHE WIPE CACHE PARTITION.. and press the Power button to select it .. When complete, the option should be highlighted to REBOOT ... press Power button to select that .. Check your settings again.

Grayed-out methods in BOR

Hello.
I need to use the methods of Request For Quotation
in BOR but they are grayed out. I'm currently using VS2003
and SAP .NET connector 2.0.
My question is if I use the Enterprise Service Explorer on
VS 2005, will I be able to used the grayed-out methods? If not, are there any workarounds?
I don't have VS2005 at this time so if anyone has an idea
please let me know.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
methods in BOR are piece of codes that you execute in runtime by calling them in workflow. So when you check the box object method with dialog, such methods need to processed by user i.e; workitem agents. If you don't check this checkbox, the piece of code (method) will you be executed in the background without sending the workitem to user.
Let me know if you still have doubts.
Regards,
Raj

Security Update 2008-007 grays out Fast user switching, et. al.

I have noticed, over the course of installing the Security Update 2008-007 on several computers of various types (Power PC and Intel, all running at least OS 10.5.4 initially), that after the restart I see in System Preferences>Accounts>Login Options that the Automatic login 'drop down', 'Show Password Hints', and 'Enable fast user switching' are all grayed out. It noticed this after running the 10.5.5 combo update, among other system updates, on several of the computers at work. I was able to trace the problem to the Security Update 2008-007, because on most of the computers I purposely installed this separately after all other updates had been run and these same fields were grayed out on all but 2 stations. I have not found the common factors or discernible differences yet between the computers that were problematic and those which were problem free and tried unsuccessfully to avoid/correct the issue by running permissions repair before and/or after the Security Update and/or 10.5.5 update, as well as downloading the updater files and installing them locally. Has anyone experienced this problem after the Security update was run? I hope someone can suggest a fix, because Fast User Switching is much less intrusive on our employees if they don't have to log out each time I have to check their stations for something! Thanks.

Alas. I tried that already without result, as well as running Leopard Cache Cleaner and Disk Warrior as acts of desperation. I didn't expect them to help and they didn't. All user spaces display the grayed fields, including the System Administrator. I have tried deleting a few plist files, which I were hoping were relevant, but no success yet. I have one last station running 10.5.4 which hasn't had this particular security update applied yet, so I'll see if I can isolate the culprit. Thanks for trying to help! I do appreciate the effort.

W530 bios setting date Security/Virtualization gray out

Hi, Guys
I have a W530, with i7 and 16G standard setup.
I want to enable HV-X and found they are marked as Disabled, and gray-out in BIOS, also date is gray-out also.
Do you know how to fix it? i7 must support virtualizaion, while time setting is gray-out, I think this is either a security issue or a BIOS bug, but I had same problem with 2013 Feb BIOS, and also update to 2014 latest BIOS, same problem here.
Any one can help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hmm, that is an interesting predicament. on my 3720QM with 16GB RAM, I can activate the VTd-IO and VTx capabilities.
is there a BIOS admin password? this is the only other reason that VTx and time settings would be greyed out.
Let me try and figure out why you are having troubles, since VT should work.
W530(2436-CTO): i7-3720QM, nVidia Quadro K2000M,16GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, 128GB mSATA SSD, Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome, Centrino Ultimate-N 6300.

Encryption step in actions grayed out in Acrobat 11

I like to password protect a dynamic PDF form (xfa) stored on a network drive with a Acrobat action. When I run the action, the action shows the encryption step grayed out (disabled). It works with flat PDF's but not with PDF Forms. (XFA)
In Acrobat Pro 10 the same action works without any problem.
Is there any help for this issue?

I downloaded your test PDF, opened it in Acrobat XI Pro and had no problems to encrypt it. I encrypted it with a password and it all worked. I used both Tools->Protection->Encrypt and File->Properties->Security->Security Method. I do not know what else to say. Are you sure you have Acrobat XI Pro and not Standard? Can you encrypt regular (non-XFA) PDFs with the same copy of Acrobat XI?
After I did all that I realized that you wanted to use the Actions feature to encrypt. So, I created an encryption action with Tools->Action Wizard->Create New Action, tried to use it and it did not work. Bingo! I guess this is a bug in Acrobat XI. I will try to get Adobe to open a bug on that.

Security Method? Saving downloaded PDF's

I have credit card accounts which I access on Safari. Each month I download the statements as .pdf files. When I view some of these downloads on Preview, I can save them using a Save-As command. But for files downloaded from other sides, the Save-As is grayed out.
When I check the info for each file, the only difference I can see is that the files I can't "save-As" have a "Password encrypted" Security methods whereas the other ones have no security method. Ownership/Permissions seem the same for each one
How can I remove this limitation? The work around I use is to rename the files in the info tab and then drag them to the folder I want.
Thanks for your help

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.

No camera icon on the lock screen, and the setting is grayed out?

I got my S4 a few days ago, and I've been setting it up, finding my comfort zone with widgets and app icons and so forth. I note that I'm supposed to be able to launch the camera app directly from the lock screen, but the option under Setting, My Device, Lock Screen, Lock Screen Widgets for "Favorite apps or Camera" is turned off and grayed out. Is this option only available if I disable secure locking, i.e. allow anyone who picks up the phone to use any function without face recognition, PIN, pattern, or password? Or is it disabled by some other setting I haven't found?

Right, I found that. Unfortunately, I can't readily switch back and forth between "no security" and "face unlock", because all my "improve face recognition" seems to be lost when I set any other security method; the phone returns to not recognizing me every time the light changes or I put on my hat or I wear my safety glasses at work. Given I don't want just anyone who picks up my phone to be able to use all functions (i.e. spend my money on apps, burn up my data plan, etc.), I'll have to settle for being required to unlock before I can take a picture.

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.

Sign in to download from the App Store screen has the wrong Apple ID- grayed out. How can I change it?

When I have a software update notification and I go to the 'Updates" tab of the App Store and click 'update', the flash screen 'Sign in to download from the App Store comes up the the Apple ID is wrong and grayed out so I can't change it. Where is the bogus Apple ID stored? How can I 'ungray' it to make it editable?
I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on an IMAC 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
