Unable to sync Applications-tab grayed out

I downloaded a number of Apps from the App Store early this afternoon using iTunes and couldn't get them to sync with my new 3G iPhone. All the choices on the "Applications" tab are grayed out (although I can see the list of apps I downloaded in the window. They're just grayed out and unchecked). I restarted my iPhone and restored from backup and then they loaded. However, just downloaded 10-12 more Apps and the exact same thing is happening. Can anyone help me out? I don't want to have to reset/restart every time I want to load an app. Thanks...

This thread had the answer that worked for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1599782
I had enabled restrictions on an iPhone the kids use. I MAY have enabled the restriction that prevents application installation -- thinking it would limit use of the AppStore purchase on the phone.
I removed restrictions and I was able to sync. I'm not sure this is so much a bug as a usability issue.

Import Tab grayed out in Aperture 3.1

Hi folks, need some help:
When I try to import a .jpg from SDHC or HDD into an existing project in my library, the import tab will gray out and is no more selectable. It is no more possible to switch to the library or to chose another button in the toolbar. I need to close the application and open again to work with.
Steps to Reproduce:
Import photos from SDHC-Card with integrated Card Reader or from HDD in a already existing Project, add some metadata-settings during import. Repeat the step several times and always import in a existing project and the the import-tab will gray out. So it is no more possible to move over the library.
I have tried:
- Repair permissions
- Aperture 3: Basic Troubleshooting
I am using:
- Mac OS X 10.6.4, current updates
- Aperture 3.1 clean install
- Latest Pro-Kit-Updates
Are there other people having the same GUI-bug like I do? Or is there maybe a solution? I am looking forward to your answers.
Sincerely'
Immo

Hi Folks
@spikeyjonze: A new local user account has no impact on this issue, it is still present. This steps also belongs to the Aperture 3: Basic Troubleshooting
@Adrian Wackernah: I also have the same issues, but this issue ain't so big for me. My current issue with a grayed out import tab seems to be much worse. But thanks a lot for your answer.
@Gary: I also work with shortcut cmd-i to enter or leave the import-window. But I have never tried with <esc>-key to leave to import-window, if the import tab grays out. I will give it a try when I reproduce the bug again.
I also have opened a case at Apple Care Pro Apps Support Europe. I have send them the System Profiler and a screen-recording of the issue. So I need to wait until Apple has done their troubleshooting and analysis.
Thanks for your answers. If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to contact me.

More than 50 MB sized applications are grayed out with status of "Waiting/Installing", when we update those apps from WiFi Connection?

Hi,
Few application updates are available in iOS App store. However, Those applications are grayed out with status of "Waiting/Installing", when we update those apps from WiFi Connection. It's happening only for more than 50 MB sized applications. Unable to install those application through WiFi, However, it's successfully installed through MacBook Pro iTunes application. Please suggest me, why this happening suddenly.
Thanks in Advance,
Suresh Balakrishnan.

- If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows. However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software.
Re-check your deployment, specially the user experience:
If you've checked the box next to "Software installation", it will install after the deadline has passed and ignores maintenance windows. Change the deployment to required and uncheck that box and the software should be installed according to your
maintenance windows.

HT6437 My itunes cannot locate my ipod. All the sync option are grayed out and diagnostics says that itunes cannot find usb ports and that no device is connected when it is. What should I do to solve this issue?

So itunes is giving me problems. Since around Christmas time, itunes decided to stop reading my ipod. I connect it to my computer with the usb cable and my computer will recognize that a device is connected but itunes will not. If I go to file->devices and try to sync, all of my sync options are grayed out, while before it would just automatically sync.
When I run diagnostics it tells me that under ports that it cannot find usb ports (it has a green circle?), a type of cable isn't found, and that no device is connected with the usb cable (which my ipod is). I have been trying to fix this issue but nothing is working. I've tried restarting my ipod, itunes, and my computer, i've also tried resetting my ipod and uninstalling itunes then reinstalling itunes but nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Do the USB ports work for other devices?
Does the iPod charge?
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

The App store, FaceTime, iTunes, Safari and Camera are all missing from my iPad. Restrictions are not enabled and when they are those applications are grayed out. I have tried everything but restoring my iPad to its orginal condition. What do I do?

If you try all these steps and you still have issues...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

What is the Compatibility Tab grayed out for applications on some network shares, but not others?

I have a network share with an executable file located in it. If I browse to the share by UNC path from a Windows 7 pro workstation and go to the compatibility tab of the .exe, the options are grayed out.
I have another network share with an executable file located on it. This share and workstation are at a different location, unrelated to the first example. If I browse to the share by UNC path from a Windows 7 pro Workstation and go to the compatibility
tab of the .exe file, the options are not grayed out, and I can check or uncheck what ever I need to.
Both shares are located on a Server 2008 R2 system w/sp1. Both workstations are joined to the same domain as the server they are connecting to the UNC path on. Both shares have given the user connecting full access on the smb sharing and ntfs sharing.
Someone please tell me how to make the compatibility tab not grayed out. Here is a screen shot of the comapatibility tab of the .exe file from both shares:

Hi,
You can use
Troubleshoot compatibility to set the application to Compatibility Mode.
You can right-click the application’s shortcut and click Troubleshoot compatibility.
Please refer to the similar thread and the third-party article below:

Thanks, but I read that link before I posted this. Even by running the compatibility wizard, you still can't edit the compatibility settings on Windows 7.

Dreamweaver IDE (Application Window Grayed out)

I opened up Dreamweaver CS3 today and the application tab
(Databases, Bindings,Server Behaviors and Components) is all grayed
out for all applications. I use it mostly with the Components tab.
Used it just fine a couple of days ago.
How can I get this window to where I can use it again? I
haven't had any other troubles.
Thanks.

Is the testing server properly defined?

Properties tab "grayed out" in Acrobat 9 Pro

Hello-
I built a form using Live Cycle in 9 Pro for Windows. I want to have the form open as a "two up", so I assumed I should change this in the Properties menu. When I go to the Initial View tab, it is grayed out, and won't let me change anything. How do I get this tab to allow me to change it? Help!
Mike

Form created with LiveCycle Designer are XML forms in a PDF wrapper and many of the usual PDF properties are not available. This is like embedded rich media in a PDF. If you want to research this, Adobe and ISO have the PDF Reference manual available as a free download.

Edit Live Page View in New Tab Grayed Out

I've been looking forward to use using Dreamweaver CS5 to edit dynamic sites. One of the things I thought would really save time was being able to navigate to a dynamic page in live view and then edit it, instead of using File/Open, but when I browse to a page, the Edit the Live View Page in a New Tab is Grayed Out. Any help?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you needed to check out the document again when open a document which was checked out by yourself and received the error that the document was locked by yourself.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and I got the same results as you got.
I recommend to use the following method to call DispEX (utilizing open document add-on) which is directed to document relative URL instead of using the direct link:
<a onclick="return DispEx(this,event,'TRUE','FALSE','FALSE','SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3','1','SharePoint.OpenDocuments','','','','1','0','0','0x7fffffffffffffff')"
href="/site name/library name/file name.xlsx">Edit Document</a>
Best regards.
Thanks

Why is the lyrics tab grayed out?

I have a Taylor Swift song I was going to add some lyrics to, but the tab is grayed out. Anyone know why? This song was imported from a CD.
Thanks

Yes, I tried it again by seeing the song in the main library as opposed to seeing it in a playlist. Again, the lyrics tab was grayed out. I was able to see the tab, however, when I did a "get info" for one of her music videos I have.

"Only sync checked items" grayed out

I've updated iTunes to the newest version and my 5th gen. iPod to v1.2. I'm trying to get the box on the iPod summary page to become "checkable"... it's the "only sync checked items" box, and it's grayed out... without it, the way I manage my podcasts becomes entirely screwed up. Anybody?

I've got the same problem. Two days and no reply yet? What's especially troubling is that syncing only checked items had been my preference under iTunes 6. ITunes 7 should have kept all the same preferences.
