The Function Buttons are Greyed Out in Numbers

I am new to Numbers having used Excel for years. I am trying to add up a column of figures but when I highlight the column and click the 'Function' button at the top of the page, all the functions are greyed out so not usable. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
I am using Numbers 3.1, downloaded on Saturday.
Thanks

clarie,
select multiple columns, then drag the quick sum tag or use the formula:
=sum(<RANGE1>, <RANGE2>, <RANGE3>, ...)
where <RANGE1> thru <RANGEn> are any valid ranges
e.g.
=sum(A:C) will sum columns which would be the same thing as:
=sum(A, B, C)
you can also sum rows 1, 4, and 7 like this:
=sum(1:1, 4:4, 7:7)

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?

It 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

Restore Session no longer works properly, the window shows as blank, and the restore button is greyed out. On the history tab, the three associated links are also greyed out and unusable. How do I restore functionality?

Just as the question says, I get a restore session tab whenever I open Firefox, but it no longer shows my tabs, and the Restore button is greyed out. If I open and then close a side, it no longer shows up in the "recently closed tabs" in the History menu. "restore previous session" and "Recently closed windows" are also greyed out.
I'd like this function to work correctly again.

Make sure that you do not use Clear History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

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 upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

Email does not appear when using the mail icon on the home screen. I get No message selected showing on the rh side of my screen with the left hand third of the screen blank. Buttons on the top line are greyed out except the new mail one. The word thread appears in black on the top left hand side of the screen The only way out is to close the screen. all other apps work okay.

Hello calverone,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start troubleshooting this issue where the Mail application is not appearing correctly on your iPad, I'd like you to please force the Mail app to quit, and then restart your iPad.
iOS: Force an app to close
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Have a great weekend,

Upon starting up my mini mac for the first time I see the welcome screen but the 'go back' and'continue' buttons are greyed out so I cant continue.

As the title states everytime I boot up my mini mac the 'go back' and 'continue' buttons are greyed out and I cannot continue with the installation. I even went out and bought an external cd drive to try and load the operating system and that did not work either.

Hi, what OS version is it? And which year Mini?

SRM Confirmation - All buttons are greyed out

Hello experts,
I have seen posts on similar isue but could not find one which was relevant.
Here is my problem.
I see that after a confirmation is created, when I go back into "Display and Process Confirmations ", all the buttons are greyed out. The header statuses for the confirmation are as given below.
Complete
Confirmed
Created
Approved
Currently Being Transferred
I am not sure why it says "Currently Being Transferred", when its actually posted in the backend.
All clean up and update jobs are running fine. I am on SRM 5.0. I even tried the program to regenerate BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB entries.
Please help incase you have experienced this or know the solution to resolve this problem.
Thank you.
Thanks and Regards
Manish Mohan

Hi Manish,
Did you manually run the update reports CLEAN_REQREQ_UP and BBP_GET_STATUS_2 without any document numbers?
So there is no entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB for this document?
You mention that the document has been created successfully in the backend?
Did you check the status of the IDOC in both EBP and the backend?
Nevertheless I have an Info for you - If you debug the program
clean_reqreq_up you may find out that the corresponding IDOCs within the
backend system are never found by the FM
B46A_GOODSMVT_UPDATECHECK - this FM is called within the program
clean_reqreq_up with the parameters:
        object_ident-objkey = IS_DOCUMENT_TAB-OBJKEY.
        object_ident-objtype = 'IDOC'.
        object_ident-logsys = sender_logsys.
where the OBJKEY is the IDOC number within EBP-System.
Because the corresponding IDOC is never found in the backend system
(the return code from backend system is always 1 - object not found)
all confirmations get the status I1019 (Transfer Error) and stay hang
in the table bbp_document_tab in the QSR-system and also alert message
is created for them.
The question is why is it not possible for this FM to found any IDOC in
the backend system even when there are posted there...
this FM is called within the program where the OBJKEY is the IDOC number
within EBP-System.
where the OBJKEY is the IDOC number within EBP-System.
Because the corresponding IDOC is never found in the backend system
(the return code from backend system is always 1 - object not found)
all confirmations get the status I1019 (Transfer Error) and stay hang
in the table bbp_document_tab in the QSR-system and also alert message
is created for them.
So if there is no entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB, maybe, regenerage another one and run this in debug mode and recheck.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew

My standard list of things to do first for these wierd sort of problems, but I also tend to run these before I go to burn an iDVD project just to be safe. Keep in mind this list represents the programs I tend to use. There are several alternate programs that do the same things with some combining the functions of some of the ones below. So everyone has their favorites, but here are mine...
Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system, especially any external drives that you use for iMovie and iDVD projects.
Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
Reboot your Mac (after running Cache Out X you are given the option to restart the machine).
My guess is that after running Cache Out X and restarting you might find your hard drive space back again. If not, you might try booting off your restore/install CD or DVD that came with your system and then trying to delete that log file, then rebooting with your hard drive again.

Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
Thanks
Derek

Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

HT4527 I'm transferring my iTunes library from a PC to my new iMac via home sharing. I've followed all of the steps to "import" my library but the "import" button is greyed out. Any suggestions?

I'm transferring my iTunes library from a PC to my new iMac via home sharing. I've followed all of the steps to "import" my library but the "import" button is greyed out. Any suggestions?

There is no need to import anything or use Home Sharing.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer, everything will be exactly as it was.

ITunes will not install any (downloaded) apps: the install buttons are grey.

I have installed iTunes 12.0.1.26 on my (up-to-date) Windows 7 64 bit machine. I have successfully downloaded several apps from the app store. Now I would really like to install those apps on my iPhone 4s iOS 8.1.2, but iTunes wil not allow me to do so (nor on my iPod). It recognizes my iPhone, it shows me my apps, but the 'install' buttons are grey (i.e. they are not clickable). I have authorized my computer and installed iTunes as an administrator.
I searched this site and found a solution to a similar problem, but unfortunately that solution will not work here. The solution was to double click on one of the apps in 'my apps' and then authorize my computer, but when I double click on an app nothing happens at all. Well, it gets selected (blue), but that is all. So iTunes just isn't working properly, but I don't know how to correct it.
I really hope to get some help with this problem. Thanks in advance!

Ah, not sure what I was thinking at time.
You may want to try some of the troubleshooting steps in iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases. It may help to deauthorize and then reauthorize the computer. I suspect the double-click the app advice doesn't work with iTunes 12. Nothing interesting happened when I tried. If you have any protected media it might be worth confirming that it will play.
Is this a new library with respect to the device? If so see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I just updated my iPhone 6 to IOS 8.3. My safari will not let me search anything. If I type in a website URL, the Go button is greyed out. If I type in something to search on google, I press Go and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have cleared history, reset my phone, tried using wifi and mobile data.

I have this problem too and have tried all suggestions to fix, with no luck.
Safari did work for a short time by switching to Private, but stopped working soon after
