Toolbar buttons for minimizing, closing apps are grey

I had the public beta 6 version of Yosemite installed on my Macbook Pro (15 inch, early 2008). After the release of the final version yesterday, I have done a complete installation. But the three buttons on top left corner (close, minimize, full screen) are not colored for most of the apps (except iTunes). They remain grey. And they were grey in the beta version too. Is there a way to get the colored buttons(red, orange, green) back on my app windows?

Apologies if this is obvious, but have you got the Graphite Appearance option selected?
Go to System Preferences > General and look at the Appearance line: the option Graphite gives you grey buttons, Blue gives you the normal coloured buttons.

Toolbar buttons do not work and are greyed out not allowing me to log in or log out

I have increasingly been frustrated with firefox not allowing me to log in and or log out of important websites in which i pay my bills online This happens because the toolbar buttons are greyed out. It makes this feature non functional, therefore I have to resort to closing the website page without logging out. Can you tell me how to fix this problem? When i click on the buttons there is no response; its as if they were drawn.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Trying to update my apps...all apps are greyed out and say waiting.

..all apps are greyed out and say waiting. This has been going on for a day. I have reset my setting turned off my iPad and no changes

Maybe one of these suggestions will work. Ignore any that you have already tried.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Toolbar Button for "Add to Index"

I make CHM (context-sensitive help) using RH8. My SME wants an index (it's quite heavy technical stuff) and I add index keywords by:
* select text in the topic,
* right-click,
* Add to > Index Keyword > ProjectName.
If I could make a toolbar button for this I could let my SME create the index himself.
Is there a way of creating a custom toolbar button in RH8? Alternatively, is it possible to carry out the above procedure using the keyboard (no mouse)?

Yes, this button, or preferably a consistent keyboard shortcut, would be most helpful.
In RH versions 5 and 6, you could highlight the keywords, right click, and then tap 2 or 3 keys on the keyboard and the words were tagged into the index. Easy to learn and very quick indeed; you could do it automatically, without thinking.
Then the programmers got "clever" and dynamically changed the keyboard shortcuts depending on where you were / what you highlighted in the topic, so that for many right-click-menu functions, the shortcuts needed different keystrokes each time; and sometimes you couldn't use the keyboard shortcuts at all. You now have to stop and read the right-click menu carefully every time, and we're back to using the mouse.
(Imagine doing the index for, say, 390 topics, with 10-20 keywords per topic. And they make us use a mouse?)
Shortcuts are faster! (Imagine driving a car by using a mouse?)
Perhaps it needs some kind of macro facility?

I am unable to switch off Passcode on my ipad3. The button for switch off Passcode is greyed out.

Hello again,
I have managed to disable the Passcode.
I checked and I removed a profile that was linked to a business app.
I think it must have been security policy through business app that didn't work anyway.
Thank you very much for taking the time to attempt to resolve my issue.
Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Synch the ipod on itunes (apps are grey (inactive) without moving the apps from "folder" to store icons apps

Hi,
I use 2 PC to synch and store apps on itunes. I store apps on itouch by making folder for each games categories. When I connect my ipod to one pc, all apps are grey (inactive) and I have to synch the itouch, so all folders will be removed.
So how can I synch the itouch without mofifying (removing) folders?
Hope my request is easy to understand.
Thank you

Apps can be downloaded again for free: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Some apps remember the in-app-purchases and will allow you to activate them again as well, check this article about in-app-purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4009
App data and settings are part of the backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
So, if you have an ipod backup, you can restore the settings after you set up your ipod again. If you haven't got the backup, your game settings etc are gone.

Increment and decrement buttons on a ring control are greyed out

Hello,
The check box for showing the increment and decrement buttons on a ring control are greyed out. Does anyone know why? I have verified that the ring is a control as opposed to a indicator.

"the controls are greyed out because they do not exist on the Menu ring control."
Errr... yes, I believe that's exactly what I said in my last response.
"This is different from what I saw in another part of this forum about using event structures on a Menu ring."
Don't know what you could be referring to, as there is no event specific to the increment/decrement controls. All that they would do (if they existed) is to change the value of the control, and the applicable event would be the "Value changed" event. Where exactly did you read this?

How to detect AIR for Android closing app event? AIR analog to Activity.onDestroy()

How to detect AIR for Android closing app event (remove app from dock "Recent Apps")?
In AndroidActivityWrapper.StateChangeCallback exist method onActivityStateChanged. But he have only DESTROYED state, which it seems received where app finish exiting. Activity.onDestroy() called if app start exiting.

DPI aside, you can just set your resolution on the project to the target devices resolution to preview how it will look. While vectors will render much smoother on the device (higher DPI), it's a very easy way to target various resolutions for testing.
If you have the full CC suite you might want to consider using Flash Builder 4.7 which has many different device presets and allows you to create your own presets to mimic tablets and phones. It really depends how complex your project is to move over to FB.

I have transferred my itunes to a new phone and all my apps are greyed out on itunes

i have transferred my itunes to a new phone and all my apps are greyed out on my itunes account,the apps still work fine on the phone

Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone. If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events. Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Since updating to iOS5, the delete buttons on all my apps are missing. I did a hard shutdown, but that did not resolve the issue. Would appreciate any suggestions to restore this feature.

Ipad apps are greyed and say waiting, but can open them from app button

The apps were reloaded after the ipad was reset, but only about 1/3 loaded. The rest are grey, and say "waiting" under them. In the app icon, they all show up as loaded, and can be opened, but from the home screen, nothing happens when the app is tapped.

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Apps are greyed out when syncing

When syncing my son's iPod, the apps on the computer screen are greyed out. The check mark is there, but it is greyed out as well so I am not able to select or deselect apps. What it this and how do I fix it?

I solved it. The restrictions were disabled so I enabled them. The grey immediately went away. Then after syncing I disabled them again so the little one can't download apps.
Thanks anyway

Toolbar button for a calculator?

My client says that on her last computer, she had a button on the Acrobat toolbar that would open a calculator. It may have been Acrobat X or Xi. She is now using Xi, and I can't find an option for that. Does anyone know how to make that happen?

You probably mean this interesting little tool. It's actually a PDF file and could be setup to open from a toolbar button if you so desired.

IPad apps are grey like they should update but they won't...

Clicked on update all in the app store and it greyed out all the apps that needed to be updated but none of them are loading. I tried going back into the app store and pushing update again but it just kicks me out of the app store. Need help because I can't use any of the apps as they are still greyed out.

It could be that there isn't enough space left. There should be a dialog box that says so, but if you dismiss it, you get it back only after killing the Appstore app.
Updating apps actually copies the new app an then deltes the old. So make sure you have 2..3 GB of free space. Some Apps are > 1 GB, like GarageBand.
Settings -> General -> Usage shows how much Flash memory each app uses. You can delete the apps there too.
If you wait a long time between updates, and have to update lots of apps, the free space problem becomes worse. The apps might not be that big, but all of them might be bigger than your free space.
