Unknown username greyed out in Apple ID login window

Good evening!
When I am trying to install updates from my App Store, I get asked to sign into my accound, understandably.
But this is what appears:
A completely unknown email address is already typed in and greyed out so I can´t change it to my own.
Anyone had this problem before?
I tried to search on google but came up short.
Regards,
Atli

I pad 2 updated to iOS 6.1.3 and now wifi is greyed out. Apple support engineers say replace but my warranty exited 09/12. Funny how it worked perfectly fine before the update.

I just updated to6.1.3 and now my wifi button is greyed out. Apple support said it is a hardware issue. Funny how it worked just fine on the previous iOS. Now apple wants me to buy a replace not because my warranty expired 09/12. Seems to me like ios6.1.3 was an update to sell more products. Tried all suggested fixes with no success. With all the noted issues with ios6 there may be another class action lawsuit coming. Apple tech senior advisor unwilling to help. First advisor told me just buy a new I pad. Second advisor wants me to pay for a replacement. Can someone explain to me how an apple approved software upgrade that damaged my i pad is classified as my fault. I've seen some shady selling techniques but this one takes the cake in my book. Anyone have the contact information to higher up executives in apple for me to speak with about my issues?

Have you check the following?
Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
Ensure that your device is using the latest software.
If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTune

All drum loops in LE 8 are greyed out and Apple loops utility 'can't be installed'

Hi
I installed Logic Express 8 and have loads of loops missing, especially the drum loops.
Even the Apple loops utility is giving me problems. It looks like the Apple loops utility was installed (because I have the icon for it now), but everything inside that utility is greyed out. When I try to re-install it, i get the error message 'Apple Loops Utility can’t be installed on this computer. The specified message could not be found for the index 0.'
I have a new MAC Mini OS X 10.6.7
Help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: I have looked through other related discussions here but could not find the naswer.
I also just checked in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops to see if the files are there and of course they are not.
In fact, funnily enough, there are 0 files in the apple loops (although I do have plenty of loops that do play in LE8, just not the drum loops), which is strange. Where are all the files?????
I also found the following interesting point in the discussions here:
'The standard installation doesn't install all the loops. You'll have to do a custom installation and check the GB extras.'
The problem is that I am never given any option to do a custom installation when I install. It only offers the normal installation mode.

Hi,
1. On the newer Macs, iLife 11 or so, only a part of the loops is being installed, and the other part must be downloaded via software update. GB will tell you so if you select a greyed out loop.
2. Loops should all be in "(your HD)/library/audio/apple loops/apple", not in the user library.
3. If you find the loops are installed there but aren't shown in LE or in GB, you might want to re-index the loops.
4. If loops are still missing after re-indexing, drag the loops folder straight above your loop browser and drop them there - this should add the missing loops.

WIFI GREYED OUT AND APPLE WANTS TO CHARGE 200$....

Seriously,
I've had my 4s for about 2 years now and since updating to IOS 7.04 my wifi has greyed out and will not work. I've tried all the reseting issues(airplane mode, reset network settings, erase all settings), all of these have fixed issue for about 20 minutes and then wifi greys out again. I went to an Apple store and they were willing to change the phone for a 200$ fee. Seriously?? I can't believe that Apple would do this. This is my first experience with an Apple product being defective and I was appalled. I was with blackberry for over 10 years and anytime I had an issue with warranty there was not questions asked and device was replaced and I did not have to pay anything. I was at the Apple store at 9am and there was about 50 customers with issues. WOW!! All that to say that I'm now stuck with a device that has now WIFI. This is just great.
Thank you APPLE for your great support!!

Like I said on my previous post. I am not complaining about the warranty, If the phone becomes defective and it is my fault and I don't have a warranty anymore, I'm fine with paying to get a new phone. I'm just saying, when its become clear that this is an issue with the update that Apple has sent and to no fault of mine that my wifi is not working anymore(and others can concur that they've been having the same wifi issue after updating to IOS 7 and later), it would be very sincere of a company as big as Apple and seems willing to help their customers stay with their products, that they should be abit more attentive to the consumer that spends their hard earned money on their product. Especially when it seems to be that the phone is not working because of their updates that they have sent.

Stuck at grey Apple screen / login window at startup

hello,
recently a friend of mine offered to update my 2009 MacBook to Mac osx Lion. when I received the computer back from him, it required a rather large update that has put my MacBook in a terrible state.
upon rebooting from the update, it froze at the grey Apple loading screen, and of course I thought nothing of it and gave it a little restart. Since then I cannot get it past the grey screen or the login window. it seems as though I cannot type in my password or click 'sleep' or any option the window gives me. I've been working on this issue all day, and I've tried countless things from the apple support community, with no avail.
I've tried clearing the cache, I've tried safe mode, I've tried the command+option+control+enter trick on the login page, I'm even trying to boot from the install disc my friend gave me...and it's just refusing to move past the grey screen.
any ideas?
much appreciated,
mark

Have you tried booting into Lion recovery mode? Reboot holding the command and R keys down. Bring up Disk Utility and do a repair disk. While you're there, repair permissions (or if you have an operating system DVD that came with your system, you can boot to it and use Disk Utility). Then try a reboot. If that doesn't work, then go into Lion recovery mode again, and reload the operaitng system, which may take 3 to 4 hours to download.
Assume your system has at least 2GB of memory and ~10GB of hard drive space free, too, which is the minimum to run Lion.

"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.)

Unlink Audio & Video greyed out in Premeire Elements 13 (Windows 8.1) [new user]

I posted (or at least I thought the post worked) this question Mar.27th but I can't find it or any replies I may have gotten so if anyone knows its whereabouts I'd appreciate you're telling me how to see it so I won't have 2 threads running for the same question. My question is: why is the option to unlink the audio and video tracks greyed out when I'm trying to substitute part of an audio clip (without ruining the synchronization between the existing audio and video). I'm working with a saved "projectX.prel" file. I noticed when I opened a new project that the UNLINK option is active. This seems contrary to logic i.e wouldn't the unlink action be more likely to be needed when working on an existing file as opposed to when working on a brand new file? How can I separate the 2 components (audio & video) so I can edit just the audio clip without the UNLINK procedure working? Would really appreciate any help anyone can offer with any of the foregoing. Thanks.

garryw
Thanks for the reply. Glad that suggestion C worked for you.
Is there any remote possibility that the video and audio are really unlinked to start.
Let us take suggestion A, you say that Link Audio and Video is active choice for what you believe to a linked video audio on the Timeline.
You have your clip in the Expert workspace and the clip is not selected as represented in screenshot 1.
If you click on the Video 1 portion of the clip, does the video portion and audio portion highlight to look like what you see in screenshot 2
where the video and audio portion both look highlighted.
Or, if you click on the Video 1 portion of the clip, is it just the video portion that looks highlighted and the audio part
continues to look unhighlighted? As seen in the next screenshot 3?
Depending on your answers, we may next delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which can be found
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
13.0
and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see the complete path given.
As your schedule permits, looking forward to learning of your progress.
Thanks.

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?

Apple TV doesn't see iphone add remote greyed out

Hi There
Wife just got a new iphone, I have it synced/paired to her PC's itunes and also paired to my imac itunes which has our music collection (not syncing just have music set to manage manually). Have downloaded the remote app and it connects wonderfully to my itunes and hers but I cannot add remote on our apple tv the option is greyed out on apple tv.......I have checked the wifi network is the same on all, checked the fire wall settings are correct and pretty much everything else. On the apple tv screen it says to start by downloading the remote app which just in case I have done to my imac as well.....I am wondering if my issue is because the itunes library that is streamed to the apple tv is different to the one that the iphone is synced to (ie her PC)........one thing I have noticed is that apple tv doesn't appear on the devices list on her PC.......not sure why this isn't working but its driving me nuts have looked all through the discussions and can't find a solution

I'm not really sure what criteria is necessary for the remote option to show up on the tv, I'm surmising it's simply a fault (which I was hoping could be addressed by a restart). Another option would be a need for the tv to actually detect a wifi network before it enables this option, although mine works on an tv which is connected by ethernet and although that ethernet network is connected to a wifi network, I'm not sure the tv could know that.
The problems you now seem to be experiencing seem to be network related, and I wonder if you are now experiencing interference. You could try changing your wifi broadcast channel to see if that helps.

Bought movies are greyed out

I have bought various movies and TV shows via my Apple TV. They automatically sync back to iTunes but are greyed out so I cannot view then or transfer them onto my phone. Any help would be appreciated as I am new to the Apple TV.

Have they actually synced back?
I wonder if they might be still transferring and hence not available.
Can you Show the greyed out movie in a Finder window by right clicking on it?
Do you have another iTunes on another computer you could copy the file too and try it there?
You might also want to try deauthorising and reauthorising iTunes to see if that helps (turn AppleTV off while you do this in case it decides to wipe synced stuff).

Syncing music on 4s and ITunes - Greyed out songs

For some reason, when I sync my iphone to itunes on my Macbook Pro, there are a group of about 30 songs that keep reappearing greyed out on the ITunes screen on the computer.
I've deleted these songs from the phone, I've deleted any pending downloads on the phone. I can delete all of the music out of the phone itself and out of the Iphone music screen in ITunes while it's connected, and sync them and they disappear. But the second I unplug it and plug it back in, they show up greyed out again in the music window for the iphone in Itunes on my macbook.
Any suggestions? It's extrememly annoying.

Did you try transferring purchased items to your computer? Take a look at his link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
