  • 3rd Gen Ipod touch 5.1.1 update grays out wifi

    After updating my 3rd Gen ipod touch, I can no longer use wifi. The wifi box is grayed out. I have reset the network connection settings, and have reset the ipod back to factory settings and still nothing. I see that this has happened to lots of iphone users but havent heard much about ipod touch. I wont even think about updating my iphone until a bug fix comes out. So far Apple is saying it is a hardware issue, but theres no way. No way thousands of people are having a hardware issue just after a software update. Can anyone help?
    Also now only about 20% of my songs will load on the ipod and the screen is frozen. Great

    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • CS6 Master Collection update grayed out

    Hello all:
    After a major system update of my 2010 Mac Pro 12-core where I have two startup drives (one with Lion and the other Yosemite), I did a complete uninstall of CS6 master collection applications on both drives. Upon doing the reinstall successfully on Lion without problem other than serial number issues (ultimately solved) and updated fine, when I did it on the Yosemite drive only Acrobat (which updates alone) could update. All other applications on Yosemite have 'update' as grayed out. Any ideas anyone?

    Ignore it. That's just generic technobabble/ marketing talk. There are just no separate blurbs for PC and Mac...

  • 'Download Only' option under 'Tools' in Apple Software Updates grayed out.

    I'm trying to convert audio files in iTunes into rigtones. Followed all steps but can't see the m4r version back in iTunes. Tried selecting Download Only (Start -> All programs -> Apple Software Update -> Tools) but this option is grayed out. How do I fix it?

    Hi. Thanks for this. I already do what you suggest, but not all the indicated updates are available by download. There was a Bonjour update that was not listed in Support/Updates for example.

  • Songs grayed out after iOS 8 update

    After updating my iPhone 5s with the iOS 8 update, my playlists and songs are acting crazy! I use playlists to teach fitness classes, and when I open a playlist now,  or several songs are grated out and will not play! I've tried to delete the songs and playlists and re-sync with my computer, but nothing helps.

    I don't know but I hope someone can answer because the same is happening to me!  I bought 2 songs yesterday and can't add them to any playlist and a few songs I already had are grayed out as well.

  • Several months ago I kept getting prompted to "update" my iphoto library.  I finally gave in and clicked on the update button and EVER SINCE THEN,  ALL of my photos have been 'grayed out' and I can't see ANY of them unless I click on the photo and open it

    Several months ago,  I kept getting prompted to 'update' my iphoto library.  When I finally clicked on the 'update' button,  it 'greyed out' ALL of my photos.  Now ALL of my photos are grayed out and I can't see ANY of my pictures unless I click on each grayed out photo individually and open them,  ALL of the thumbnails are greyed out.  It is THE WORST!!  I have no idea how to fix this problem and its been MONTHS AND MONTHS of *** pain.  Anyone??  Please help!!!
    Thanks so much!!!

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
    and please tell us what version of iPhoto and of the OS you have

    If these don't work you probably have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

  • The app store on my laptop is asking for my husband's apple id and password to update my apps, but he is not a user on my computer.  How do I change that?  The apple id email is grayed out, so I cannot select it.

  • HT4623 I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store.  They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app.  Any suggestions?

    I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store.  They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app.  Any suggestions?

    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.

  • Wifi grayed out after update. Restored phone as new. How do I get data from iCloud without wifi?

    My wifi was grayed out and my battery drains drastically after updating to 6.1.3.
    I have tried all possible solutions to get my wifi back. However, nothing seems to work. I am now trying to (at least) get my battery back to normal. I read in other posts that restoring the iPhone as a new phone > drain battery > full charge might help.
    I did the restore as new phone and do not want to restore from back up. I just like to manually back up some (not all) data I've lost and keep my phone like this, like new. How do i back up my messages and photos from iCloud if my phone wont connect to wifi?
    Any ideas?
    Is there another way to get my photos and messages back aside from doing an iCloud backup?

    You can't view or extract backed up data at iCloud.com. AFAIK, without a WiFi connection, there is no way to retrieve your data. You'd need another iPhone to restore your iCloud backup to in order to retrieve it. Of couse this would require either doing an out of warranty replacement for your existing phone, ot borrowing a phone from someone, erasing it, then setting it up using your Apple ID.
    You could make an appointment at an Apple store to see what the genius bar can offer you.

  • TS1559 Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I went to apple store and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Extremely disappointed and no way except to pay and get replacement. Pls ad

    Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I tried all possible solutions through apple online support and then went to apple store as a last resort and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Only option is to pay 160 pounds and get replacement. When I argued further, they said that if I had bought the iphone directly with them, they would replace me without any cost. This is even more frustrating.
    THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR as its not my fault. If the release of faulty 7.0.4 software is timed in my 2nd year of contract and since I didnt buy the iphone directly from Apple, how is it fair to ask me to pay for replacement. Its not my fault after all.

    Because you are outside the one year hard ware warrenty, Apple covers for the first year on their dime, if you had a two year contract why not make sure you have a two year insurance on your phone?
    Either way as I can see/assume you are from europe you can look at your consumer laws to see if you qualify for anything there, beyond that it isn't the software that broke the device, it's a hardware failure because thousands upon thousands are happy and content with iOS 7.0.4

  • When I attempt to use software Update, and am then prompted for my Apple ID and password, my apple ID is not complete and it is 'grayed out' so I cannot change it.

    When I attempt to use Software Update, then go to 'Update All', I am then prompted to enter the password for my Apple ID, however my Apple ID does not come up as complete, and it is 'grayed out' and I cannot change it, therefore it is impossible for me to update my software.  How can I change the Apple ID to the correct ID?

    You need to delete the application and then download it from the desired Apple ID.

  • I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be

    I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be selected. Any thoughts? TIA

    Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
    Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

  • I want to transfer my vault to a new HD. The new has been formatted for Mac. Update Vault path is grayed out, despite doing all the correct steps beforehand

    I have followed directions to transfer my vault to a new HD. It is grayed out, despite doing all requisite steps beforehand. If I get 'info' on Aperture the lock icon shows and I cannot change it to unlock.

    I think you may be getting confused by the 'Lock'.
    The vault is locked in the files system to prevent accidental deletion.
    The reason the 'Update Vault Path' is greyed out is because it is still detecting the original vault on your system.
    Here's a simpler process.
    Restart your system (Aperture may still have a reference to the vault and this will clear it).
    Make sure you have copied the vault to the new location.
    Move the vault to trash. It will warn you the file is locked. Continue to move it anyway.
    Empty your system trash.  It will warn you the trash has locked files. Continue to empty anyway.
    Now the old vault is gone from your system, in Aperture, the vault will show as disconnected and you can update the vault path:
    You can then Navigate to the new location:
    And the vault will reconnect and show the available storage of the new drive:
    I suspect you are following advice about trying to remove the lock. But this is not necessary, the lock means you'll simply get warnings when deleting (assuming you have permissions to delete), but you can jsut override these warnings. If at any stage you get an error saying the file is in use, just reboot and retry that stage.
