"Select Users..." Button is greyed out in Remote Settings on windows 8.1 pro-pack upgrade
I recently purchased the pro-pack upgrade from the Microsoft website to take my windows 8.1 base version to pro so I could use the remote desktop connection. I can use this under my account which has sysadmin priviliges. I don't want to have
to have these priviliges to use RDC - so I went to the System Properties -> Remote tab to add specific users - and I cannot - the box to do so is greyed out. (I apparently can't post the image until my account is verified)
It should not be greyed out in the pro-version. After some research it turns out this is an old problem as detailed elsewhere on this forum. The issue was fixed for the windows 8 pro-pack upgrade in July 2013. I have currently spent 7 hours-ish
online and phone with Microsoft trying to explain the issue and point out the fixes suggested, which is like banging my head against a brickwall, and now they want to charge me a support contract for fixing the issue. Hence can anyone shed further light
on this issue before I have to submit to this extortion. Specifically does anyone know whether the fix (KB2855336) was applied to windows 8.1 ? I have explicitly tried to apply this fix to my system but the standalone installer told me that it was not
applicable to my system, presumably on the basis my system is 8.1
You could also just add the users you want to the Remote Desktop Users group. Right click the Start Button, click Computer Management, expand System ToolsàLocal
Users and GroupsàGroups, right click Remote Desktop Users, click the Add button,
type in the user name you want to give access, click OKàOK, close Computer
Management. (Alternatively you could go to Local Users and GroupsàUsers, right
click the user you want to give rights to, click Properties, select Member Of, click Add, type in Remote Desktop Users, click OKàOK,
close Computer Management.)

I am trying to add some pictures from my son's wedding to both ipads. I cannot put different folders on as the ipads are only allowing one folder. Very frustrating, help appreciated.
Where are the folders on your computer that you are trying to sync ? If they are directly underneath the folder that you have selected at the top of the Photos tab then the 'selected folders' option should not be greyed out - is that where the photos that you are trying to sync located on your computer ?

Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

Just installed Acrobat XI and many of the tool buttons are greyed out.
This is Acrobat Standard. Why would the edit buttons be greyed out?
LeeIt could be that the document you're working with doesn't allow editing, which could be due to security restrictions that are in place, because it's a form created wit LiveCycle Designer, it's locked due to a digital signature, etc. See what it shows when you select: File > Properties > Security

Safari 7.0.4 Back button often greyed out.
Since updating to Mavericks and getting Safari 7.0.4 with that, often my Safari back button is greyed out when clicking on a link in a page. When a link opens a new window, of course there will be no back button function for that new window until you click on to another page. That is not the problem. My back button is greyed out often when I click on a link that changes the current window to the new page without giving me a new window. Normal surfing stuff. I have had to use my History dropdown to go back to the previous page.
Delete the cache and troubleshoot Safari extensions and plug-ins...
pen a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here. -
Aperture import plug-in won't run. After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out. Any thoughts?
Others have the same issue, with the import button being grayed out. My trail copy expired, but I believe by poking around in the options and selecting another Aperture library and re-selecting, I was able to continue.
The problem is common enough, that hopefully Adobe will address. In the mean time, try repairing your Aperture library, checking permissions, exporting a subset of your library for a test, or try putting that library subset on an external drive. (Can usually avoid permissions issues.) -
Yosemite won't install. Tells me to repair my hard drive, but repair disk button is greyed out!
Ive been trying to install Yosemite for hours. It gets to the installation phase, where it says it will take 22 minutes. Nothing happens until finally there is a message that says: file system verify or repair failed and to quit the installer to restart. I've tried that a few times, but I get to the same point. I also tried to go to utilities where I tried to repair disk, but it's not available so I'm told to do verify disk first and from there I'm told to repair disk, but the button is greyed out and I have no more options and a computer that is stuck in limbo!
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc (Tiger?) & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select *Disk Utility.*
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
Click _*Repair Disk.*_
Restart your computer when done.

I have tried logging out and back in again but the same thing happens?Hello,
the SMTP was set on "none." I selected the server and now it seems to work. The thing is--- is that this seems to be a recurring thing with the SMTP server not staying selected. I deleted and reestablished my exchange account about a month ago because mail would not send (the button was not greyed) but the mail would not send. the same thing was the problem, the SMTP switching to none. Thanks for your help, at least now I know what is causing the problem. sure wish it would stop switching to "none".
Thanks again

How do I share my video back to my camcorder? the "share" button is greyed out (iMovie HD 6.0.4) I have no problem to Import from the camera to the computer, but when I want to share it back to tape, I can't proceed. I have a Canon MV30 with DV IN.

Hmmm, I think the problem is solved I'll let my friend explain when he get's back from work...
Hi and thanks for useful tips, the problem wasn't really a problem.. Kind of embarrassing, I had a finished project, that I loaded to iMovie clips, but I forgot to drag it down to the timeline... I think I have spend about 2h trying a lot of different settings etc... without any result, and finally it was just a lame mistake.. But thanks for your fast tips!!
Edit: Beverly Maneatis I have a MV30, I bought it without DV IN, because it was a easy way to hack it, using the remote control to the camera.. If you are interested you can read more about here...

Outlook 2011 Public Folders button is greyed out
One of my clients has an Exchange 2010 server with a number of public folders on it. All of the users who are using Windows versions of Outlook (either Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013) are able to access the public folders without any issues. However,
the one user who uses a Apple Mac with Outlook 2011 is not able to access the public folders. When she clicks on the Tool menu in Outlook, the Public Folder button is greyed out. The Out of Office button is also greyed out. Any help or ideas
on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
ScottHi Scott,
Based on my experience, if the user account isn't an Exchange account, Public Folders will be disabled.
If the account is an Exchange account, please re-build EWS Virtual Directory for testing.
Thanks
