Want to forward ports, but 'add' and 'default host' are grayed out! help!

Hey folks. Configuring my laptop to access a new airport express plugged in one floor below me. great signal connection works fine, but of course it isn't forwarding ports i want... so I go to set it up... now, the owner of the house set it up first, but he told me the password so I could futz with it... now when i pull up the base station config in airport admin, the relevant options are grayed out! The whole section in which default host option is located is grayed out, as are all the buttons e.g. 'add' on the forward ports tab! I've tried doing all the tricks I can think of; if anyone has any insight as to where to look to fix this, I'd appreciate it enorm.

Copy these commands into TextEdit, replace the bracketed part with your username and the quoted parts with the ext HD's name, retaining the quotes.
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
sudo chmod a+rx /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities, copy and paste the first one into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. When the Password: prompt pops up, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows on the screen, and hit the return key. Copy & paste the other two, one at a time, following each with hitting the return key. You won't get the password prompt, since the initial one's good for five minutes.
Quit the Terminal app and you should be able to read and write to the ext HD.

  • How do I digitally sign with reader XI when the fill and sign functions are grayed out?

    I am using Adobe Reader XI. I am suppose to digitally sign a fillable .pdf document for online submission. However, the fill and sign functions are grayed out.
    What are my options to put a signature in the signature box of the document?
    Thank you in advance!

    Pat Willener,
    Thank you for replying.
    Here is an image capture of the properties.
    The document is part of a job application that is suppose to be digitally signed and submitted soon. I have thought about printing, signing, and redigitizing to submit, however, the cells are statically sized and do not expand to include all of the information when printed.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • "Synchronize Now" and other options are grayed out?

    I'm pretty sure this is not technically a WSUS issue but it's only affecting WSUS in this scenario, so...
    I have 4 WSUS servers, all in the same OU in Active Directory.  1 is my master server, the other 3 are the replicas.  About a week ago, all of the sudden my 3 replicas have "Synchronize Now" is grayed out.  Server Cleanup Wizard and WSUS Server Configuration Wizard are grayed out in the Options view, but even the other options say "You do not have sufficient permissions to modify these settings" when I click on them.  As a result I can't do manual synchronizations if I have to make a quick approval change.  My nightly synchs still occur, thankfully.  This is not an issue on my master server even though it is in the same OU and (from what I can tell) the same permissions are applied.
    I'm an administrator (triple checked group membership in Administrators, when I log in, AU prompts me for updates, etc).  I don't know what permissions it is missing.  Running Server 2003, and checked to make sure the shortcut doesn't have a funky permissions restriction.  I'm at a complete loss.  I've rebooted the servers several times for other things, removed any updates that were recently installed...
    Pretty positive it's something simple but it is escaping me.  It is possible the server admin team changed something in AD or on the servers themselves, but I've checked what I know to check and don't see anything suspect.  A little help?  What permissions make the WSUS console "go"?

    An update to this.  :/
    Got impatient enough to remove WSUS and all its components from the least important server, rebooted, re-installed WSUS and (so far) nothing is grayed out or is malfunctioning in any way.
    Has anyone ever seen this happen to them?  I searched google quite a bit on this one, and found nothing but this thread linked below, which didn't describe my issue except for the 3rd (and final) post.

  • Photoshop CS6 preferences and scrubby zoom are grayed out on Cintiq 13HD but not on my laptop?

    So basically I got a new Cintiq 13HD and apart from finding out that there's screen rotating issues for lefties, there's also some Photoshop issues.
    Scrubby zoom is my favorite zooming tool, and when I opened Photoshop on the Cintiq the option was grayed out. I Google this and it tells me to go to preferences but that's grayed out too. It works perfectly fine and not grayed out on my laptop however, so I'm not sure what I can do about this.
    This may well be a Wacom problem and not an Adobe one, but I said I'd ask here.

    Hi Emily
    We don't have as many Cintiq users on this forum as you might think, and most of use would be guessing when trying to think, so you might do better asking on the Wacom Cintiq forum  However, my own experiences using the Wacom forums have not been favourable.
    So I'll start with that guessing process, and my first guess is that Photoshop is only installed on the laptop, and that the Cintiq has to be connected to it?  If that is the case, you need to tell us what the laptop is, and its operating system and version.
    I understand that the much more expensive Cintiq Companion operates as a stand alone device, but this is not relevant to your problem.
    You probably need to make sure your laptop's video card driver is fully up to date from the card makers website, and that our Cintiq has the most up to date driver.
    BTW  A very quick Google tells me that Mac systems with Mavericks have had issues with your tablet.

  • Slow motion and other effects are grayed out

    Just switched from iMovie 9 to 11, and can't take advantage of the slow motion, instant replay and other effects, because they are all grayed out in the Clip menu. Why? I do not see the "convert entire clip" option referred to in the help file. What is wrong?

    Yes, that is it. The trailers are pretty scripted.
    If you want to add an effect to a trailer, first complete the trailer.
    Then, in the Project Library List view, right click on the trailer name, and select DUPLICATE. (This will give you a copy of the trailer in case you want to edit it some more.)
    Then, with the trailer name still selected, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
    This will turn your trailer into a normal project, and you can use any of the capabilities of iMovie, including the slow motion and instant replay effects.

  • Windows Server's "Components Services" and "Regedit" permissions are grayed out for my Admin Account

    I am working with Developers who are using TFS to do their work and they suddenly get authentication error when they are connecting to TFS remotely through Visual Studio.
    When I checked Event Viewer, this is the error I am getting.
    "The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} and
    APPID {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC).
    This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool."
    By checking through the "component services" to edit the permissions, I found that they were grayed out.
    I moved to "regedit" next to try to enable the permissions from there, went to edit those keys....
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\{000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
    And found that it was not giving me access to edit it !!
    What is the fix for this issue ?

    There will be another similar event logged at a similar time, which you will need to correct, but first you need to adjust the Registry permissions for this {000C101C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} [MSIserver] COM problem.
    It's similar to these [SharePoint] errors: grant yourself/admins permission to this key, then you can apply the needed corrections via Component Services admin tool for the TFS/VS COM problem.

  • Can't quit Photoshop and most tools are grayed out too!

    Pretty much everytime I am working on a document in Photoshop, something happens and
    most of the tools get grayed out, including Quit.  I have to force quit to get out of it and reopen to do more changes.
    Any suggestions?

    Still can't figure this out... It's getting embarrasing in front of clients.
    I"m running version 11.0.2 on OSx 10.6.4.

  • Cannot find color categories to add to outlook; they are grayed out.

    Following the help info does not help as the color category seems to not be functioning. It is not in the ribbon and not in the right click for messages.  Also how do I add colors to the flags?  What am I missing?

    Diane,
    As I stated in my previous post:
    1. "With outlook 2007 I was able to right click and choose my categories, with outlook 2010 (64 bit on WIndows 7 64bit)
    when I right-click on categories column the contextual menu has no categories but simply the grayed option "Clear All Categories"."
    and 
    2. "In order to set the category I found a workaround (but it's very time expensive), you need to click left on the category
    column, Outlook will set the "one single click" category, then open the email and right click on the category color just above "from" field, now Outlook displays all categories availables."
    For sentence 1.: that means that Office 2010 doesn't do a thing that Office 2007 did, so for me it's a regression.
    From sentence 2.: derives that Office 2010 supports categories for IMAP. In my humble opinion the impossibility to set the category directly from mail list view is a bug.
    Regards,
    Massimo

  • My Adobe Installer stopped downloading halfway. The 'Cancel' and 'x' options are grayed out. Any suggestions?

    The Adobe Installer says it is "Downloading Creative Cloud desktop" and I am unable to cancel it or help it make progress. My email link that led me to the download says that the download was already complete. Any advice?

    I can open Mail, indicates messages in the various locations (inbox, junk, other folders), but displays none of the messages. Also, "Quit Mail" and other choices are grayed out. Ideas?

    I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

    I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
    This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

  • 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
