Tiger - All Sahring Options/Services disabled, greyed out

Hello from Portugal!
I noticed that on System Preferences I had all my Sharing services disabled and cannot select any of them (greyed out). Also, the Firewall Tab was disabled to (greyed out), and I couldn't select it either. I noticed that as the first option (also greyed out) I had a new service called "M82" ( ? ) that I had never seen before.
1- So I did a Archive and Install from Tiger 10.4.0 original DVD to try to find out what update cause this strange behavior.
2- After that I updated from 10.4.0 to 10.4.11 (Combo update) with Software Update.
3- After that I checked the Sharing services and all was well and normal. I could select/activate all the Sharing Option and the Firewall Tab was back to normal again.
4- I returned to Software Update and Made the folowing updates/instalations:
. Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2 (2.0)
. QuickTime (7.6)
. Migration and DVD/CD Sharing (1.1)
. Safari 3.2.1
5- After the restart I checked again and all my Sharing services and Firewall Tab were once again disabled. Also, the mysterious new service "M82" (also disabled) was back again.
So the cause of this problem is one (or more) of the updates I made in step 4 (maybe not Safari 3.2.1).
What can I do to resolve this issue without having to install Tiger 10.4.0 again?
Thank you for your help!

Thanks for your help BDAqua,
I modified my system language from Portuguese (Portugal) to english an all got back to normal.
altought it's a solution to resolve this specific problem, it's forces me t use english instead of my mother language. Not wise. I'm going to contact Apple to fix this.
Thanks again!

  • HELP - Guest Log In on File Sharing Suddenly Disabled (Grey Out)?

    Hello all.
    This is my office MacPro, we have a pool of Macs running graphics and also Avid software. We file share with local network through Apple File Sharing.
    By default we would be able to turn on our own Mac's file sharing, and other user would log in to our Public folder > Drop Box ... etc
    In Leopard, we are able to designate other folder for file share, which I have done. I disabled my default Public folder for file sharing. And created a folder outside my User folder for file sharing, so that others log into my mac as guest user can access it too.
    Actually everything is just fine, other mac users just need to log in as Guest to access my share folder.
    But this morning, all of a sudden, without any tweaks or anything, other mac users cannot log in as Guest, the Guest option is grey out.
    I have tried disabling file share, enable, re-create a new folder to share or re-enable the default Public folder to share, but the Guest option is still grey out.
    What could have happen?
    Need to solve this as soon as I can, thanks and cheers

    Thanks - the weekend was very pleasant indeed!
    I agree that something seems to awry in the Leopard MBP. The question is "what". The symptoms now are:
    1) iTunes music sharing from MBP is broken
    2) Connecting to Panther Mac via AFP is broken (although one Mac can be connected via IP address)
    3) Machine works well on a Windows network
    Based on all of this, I would guess that there is a problem in the "Bonjour" networking of the MBP. You could try:
    1. Using a different account to see if it is local to your user id.
    2. Failing that, removing your com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist and com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist files from /Library/Preferences
    Outside of that, I would have to do some more digging.

  • How to disable (grey-out) the ticks of a JSlider?

    Hi everyone,
    In my GUI, I have a JSlider that I want to be disabled (greyed out)
    because it should be only actived on my application next version.
    (It is important though to have it to preserve GUI appearence).
    Problem is that I was unable to greyout the ticks even though
    already managed to grey out the slider and the number labels.
    Right now, it is pretty uggly to have a partial disabled slider,
    because due to ticks not being disabled.
    Questions:
    1) Does anyone have an idea of how to do it?
    A small part of my code is shown below:
    JSlider dynSl = new JSlider();
    dynSl.setMajorTickSpacing(1);
    dynSl.setValue(0); //Default
    dynSl.setMaximum(7);
    dynSl.setMinimum(0);
    dynSl.setPaintLabels(true);
    dynSl.setPaintTicks(true);
    dynSl.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Dialog", 0, 9));
    dynSl.setSnapToTicks(true);
    dynSl.setEnabled(false);
    // small code just to put the numbers of the slider smaller
    Enumeration enum = dynSl.getLabelTable().elements();
    while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
    JLabel elem = (JLabel)enum.nextElement();
    elem.setFont(new Font("Dialog",0,8));
    elem.setEnabled(false);
    2) If not possible, how do I change the colour of a JSlider (including
    the Ticks)?
    My idea is to change Slider's colour to the same grey colour one used
    to disable it, making at the end the slider look as if it was disabled.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jorge

    Hi again,
    Thanks for the help.
    I was trying to avoid not having the ticks at all but it seems to be
    the best choise because I could not solve the problem of greying out
    them.
    I did some more troubleshooting though and for my surprise, if I use
    the same code alone, i.e, a simple frame with just the slider it works
    fine. I even thought that it was related with having Windows LnF as
    opposed to Metal (Java) LnF, but that was not the problem.
    The only thing it comes to mind, is that there may be some problem by including the slider on a GridBagLayout !?!?!?
    Anyway,
    What has no simple solution, solved is! :-)

  • BADI/user exit for me22n - disable/grey out field quantity (MEPO1211-MENGE)

    Dear all SAP gurus,
    When changing PO (ME22N), I need to disable (grey out) the quantity field on item (MEPO1211-MENGE), when all scheduled quantity is already received (EKET-MENGE = EKET-WEMNG).
    Have tried using LMEIGICJI and Handle_event method in CL_SCREEN_VIEW_MM. But still doesn't go to the screen that wants to be disabled.
    Tried using BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST, but couldn't find how to disable the quantity field.
    (IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~FIELDSELECTION_ITEM only works for custom field).
    Please kindly advise
    thanks in advance

    Hi Ahmad,
    No need of ABAP, follow this IMG Path.
    Material Management -> Purchasing - Purchase Order ->  Define Screen Layout at Document Level
    After Executing it . Choose ME22 from list and then choose display icon.
    than double click Quantity and Price here uncheck opt. Entry and check display.
    save your work.
    Hope this works.
    Regards

  • Can't seem to change the Document Properties Advanced Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    Can't seem to change the Document Properties > Advanced > Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

    LiveCycle forms use a very different approach to create a PDF form than Acrobat and that approach makes many features for processing PDFs non-functional.
    You might want to ask this question in one of the LiveCycle product forums.

  • I can't add any more columns. The option is suddenly greyed out.

    Allen,
    Actually, there is a TRANSPOSE Function, but no Command or Tool for that. It's one of the more useful and popular omissions in Numbers. Perhaps because it falls into the "didn't plan ahead so now I need a tool" category of features, it didn't make the cut.
    Use of the Transpose Function is described in the Function Browser, the Help feature and in the Functions of Formulas User Guide PDF. It involves using the INDEX function to read out the array created by the Transpose function. Another way to do this is to use the OFFSET function in an expression and by exchanging the row and column references.
    Yvan Koenig has written an Applescript that will automate the transposition for data and for certain simple expressions. You can get it from his Box Account, on this page.

  • TS2529 Hi.  I'm trying to transfer purchases to update my iphone but the suggested options are either greyed out or don't exist.  How do I transfer purchases?

    Hi.  I'm trying to transfer purchases to update my iphone but the suggested options are either greyed out or don't exist.  How do I transfer purchases?

    Just to clarify -  When I follow the instructions to "transfer purchases from iphone to computer" prior to updating my iphone the options suggested are greyed out. The Transfer Purchases option under Devices in the File menu is greyed out. Can anyone explain why its greyed out and how I can make the option available?

  • I purchased creative lightroom presets. I see the zip file in my download file and I try to import to LR but it just keeps creating a bundle never giving me the option to import (greyed out). What am I doing wrong?

    I purchased creative lightroom presets. I see the zip file in my download file and I try to import to LR but it just keeps creating a bundle never giving me the option to import (greyed out). What am I doing wrong?

    Try unzipping the file first. I have no idea regarding your level of technical expertise so advanced apologies if this is really basic. A ZIP file is a compressed file containing one of more files within it. To access the files you will need to expand it. If you double-click on it first, it should open up for you. If it does not automatically expand, you can select the files and copy them to a new folder. The copy will unload them into an uncompressed form. Once they have been uncompressed, you should be able to import them.
    If the import is still giving you problems, go to your Preferences, click on the Presets tab and click the Show Presets Folder button. You can then copy your purchased presets into the folder shown. You will want to copy them to the User Presets subfolder.

  • My iphone 4s keeps freezing and turning itself off and the wifi option is now greyed out

    My iphone 4s has been freezing and turning itself off and on for a few weeks now. I have reset it to factory settings and reinstalled everything, have updated the operating system but nothing seems to work. It was having problems connecting to wifi and when I tried to access the settings it freezes and can't find any connections. I have just updated the phone to 7.1 and now the wifi option is completely greyed out.

    Your battery may have completely run down. When you connect it to power, leave it. It can take even up to an hour to get enough charge to get it to a useable state.
    Although, I believe even fully drained, you should see some kind of indication on the screen of charging in progress, but it's very dim.

  • Want to disable/"grey out" dial-up connection "settings" button in the "connections" tab of Internet Options

    Hi, I'm looking to "grey out" a dial-up connection for some users in workplace, so that they are forced to use our VPN client in order to access the web. Does anyone know if this is possible?
    I know you can disable all settings on that tab using local group policy, (e.g. Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer) but I only want to disable a specific dial-up connection (for usb 3G modems).
    I've read of various IE settings being locked down in the registry here, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions, but havent seen the settings I want.
    The actual connection is visible here, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections, I just cant figure out how to grey it out. Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Sort option in Repetitive Area on AR Invoice PLD is disabled / greyed out

    Hi Experts,
    I have an issue whereby in my PLD the sort option under Print Layout Design Manager -> Repetitive Area -> Sort is greyed out / disabled in the AR Invoice PLD. Does anyone know why this might be? I've not seen this before and I can't find any notes relating to specifically to this issue in an AR Invoice PLD.

    Many thanks for any help,

    Hello Khushwant,
    In SAP when your business Process is Sales Order --> Delivery --> AR Invoice
    SAP would print the Batch Numbers along with the Delivery document.
    But your Business Process is Sales Order --> AR Invoice
    SAP would print the Batch Numbers along with the Invoice document.
    Whichever document releaves inventory, SAP will Open the Batch selection screen when adding that document and the Batch Report will be printed on a seperate sheet along with that document.
    The functionality change in SBO 2007, is that the Batch number print on the Delivery / Invoice document itself instead of on a seperate Page as in 2005.
    Could you please explain your Business Process in relation to what I have mentioned earlier.
    Printing the Batch Number as part of the Invoice document itself in SBO 2005 is going to be a tough task.
    Let me know if where and how you want to print this information.
    Regards
    Suda

  • Voltage options in bios all set to auto and greyed out

    I have a MSI X48C motherboard. The bios allows me to change the FSB, FSB/Memory ratio along with a couple of other values, but all the voltages are set to auto and greyed out so I can't change them. I don't understand why this is the case. How am I able to change these voltages. I have tried enabling and disabling various functions in the bios, but nothing seems to unlock the voltages. What do I have to do?

    It states this at the bottom of each bios screen, the help menu states this information, and the manual states it.

  • Why do all printers show up as greyed out, including the P1606dn, on Windows 8.1?

    I have a number of Windows 8.1 machine in our home. All were installed off the web install. But one machine, a SONY Vaio Flip 13, gives me issues when trying to print. As you can see from the screen capture,  all installed printer's icons are greyed out? If I launch any application such as Notepad or Word or Photoshop, no printer is showing. it is, as though no printers are installed or connected on this system. Beats me.

    Found the reason: Windows Print Spooler is inactive. Lauching CMD.EXE in administrator mode and typing in "net start spooler" resulted in Error no 5, Access denied. I had to hit the right mouse button on the Computer icon, to navigate to Services and locate Print Spooling, wich was stopped. For some reason. From there, i was able to Start spooling services and instantly got all my printers icons back, showing "normal".
    Now, how do I get rid of the extra instances of the P1606 printers? I only need one, really.
    Do I simply "remove" the extra ones?
    BTW, the printer driver was downloaded off the printer through its web interface. Not sure that this somehow caused the problem? But I am tempted to remove all traces of the P1606dn installation and install through the 140MB "normal" driver package?

  • Disabling/greying out some values in dropdown list

    Hi All -
    I have a dropdown select list (LOV from a table) and it lists all the employees and contractors from a table.
    How do I greyout/disable contractors only i.e. user shouldn't be able to select the contractor from the list but it should be displayed in the dropdown list.
    I am using ApEx 3.2 version.
    Please share your expertise.

    I wasn't going to comment first, but next time search the forums before posting a question and then when it is necessary to post, please give people adequate time to respond. Oracle's forums were having technical problems which prevented me from posting earlier -- not that a 4 hour turn around is bad for free advice anyway....
    My original planned response:
    Patrick's response in this thread helped me:
    Select List With Heading
    I spiced it up a bit by actually changing the color of the option within the select list...
    I added
    <style>
    .graySelect
    color: gray;
    font-size: 12px;
    </style>
    to the HTML Header and
    modified Patrick's query by using something similar to (took my solution and put it in his example):
    , JOB_ID||DECODE(JOB_ID, 'AC_MGR', '" class="graySelect" disabled="disabled') AS R
    But you need to account for differences in browsers...
    1) firefox (version 3 from my testing) will not let you select the disabled/grayed out option...
    2) internet explorer (version 6 from my testing) WILL let you select the disabled option...it actually then sends in a NULL value for that HTTP POST parameter...so as patrick says you will need to have a page item validation to make sure they didn't submit a gray option (and return an error if they did)...
    good luck!

  • Safari Reopen All Windows from last session greyed out

    Hi there,
    I am using Safari 7.0.6 version. I have a Macbook Pro OS X  10.9.4  I have made sure that under my Safari Preferences/General/ the Close all windows .... is UNCHECKED but I still can't get the "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" to be activated.  I can't even do it manually as it is greyed out.
    Any suggestions? 

    Unfortunately no, but there is a free Safari extension that offers this feature.
    Glims for Safari | www.MacHangout.com
    Once Glims is installed, you can access the settings in Safari > Preferences > Extensions then select the General tab then toggle: Restore Tabs and Launch on.
    Other handy features as well.
    And you can have Glims check for updates automatically.
