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:

In addition, since it is related to windows 7, you can ask in the forum below for further assistance if the issue persists:

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.

  • What would the Smart Collection criteria be to isolate files in a folder but NOT in a collection?

    What would the Smart Collection criteria be to isolate files in a folder but NOT in a collection?

    or else FAR more simply,
    though in practice, the difficulty may lie with how fuzzily or precisely the search text used, applies.
    QUESTION
    I'd be very curious to know, does anyone know how to search on a section of a full folder path rather than on the individual parts of that?
    My folders are structured by LR at import, as (e.g.) 2014 / 01 / 27 for 27th Jan 2014.
    So if I wanted to use a Smart Collection to search for (among other things) images in July 2013, I can search multiply on includes all of "2013" and "07" but that also throws up in my case, images which were taken on the 7th day of other months during 2013. I could search on a date range, though that's a little more laborious, or else do what I otherwise prefer, which is by keywords and other attributes plus (possibly) just year.
    If I could search on folder path includes the string "2013/07" this would work fine. But I haven't found a syntax that does that (yet, assuming it is possible at all).

  • 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.

  • What is the Firefox start page looking for when it tells me I'm not using the most current version and need to update Firefox? The check for updates button says my version is up to date, but the start page disagrees. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

    Okay: My start page is the one Google provides: http://www.google.ca/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official and frequently it has a note underneath the search box that "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" But when I check for updates on the About Firefox window, it says my Firefox is up to date. So what is the start page looking for? Is there some setting I need to adjust? Or is this a Google marketing ploy to get me to switch to Chrome?

    I tentatively think I have the solution; this is for when the session id value 'thing', in about:config, referred to in other answers is already on the default/rest state.
    I am assuming, I don't what to imply certainty in-case there is a value wrong in our browsers, that the problem stems from the fact that our homepage is no longer the default for Firefox.
    So, go to 'Options'>'General' and delete the homepage. This will reset it to the new address, which is 'about:home'.
    I hope this helps some people.

  • IPhoto downloads some pix & video but not others in the same format

    For the past two weeks iPhoto is giving me error messages on some of the photos and videos I try to import from my SD card. I never had this problem before but it will import some of the photos and MPEG-4 videos but at the end, it lists all the ones it can't import.
    For the photos it lists them all as below with the message that they are unreadable files. Then it says "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data.)
    /Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100SSCAM/STH73614.JPG
    /Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100SSCAM/STH73615.JPG
    /Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100SSCAM/STH73616.MP4
    /Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100SSCAM/STH73617.JPG
    As you can see they all have valid file type extensions. It's particular odd because I downloaded a very short video clip I shot with no problem but did not download the one I shot just seconds before because "this is not a movie file."
    Curiously I was able to download the pix and videos on my work Windows computer. But I had to email them to myself in order to be able to get them into an iPhoto album.
    Once I get these latest ones off the SD card I will reformat it. I assume the problem is with the card, right?

    Jane:
    Once you get the files off the memory card use the camera to reformat the card before using again. Other users have reported similar issues and a reformat in the camera solved their issue.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • What is the newest iOS coming out for the iPhone?

    I heard that there was a new IOS coming out soon for the iPhone do you know anything about this?

    No one could know such a thing unless Apple announces, which is very rare.
    Apple has not announced any new ios.

  • Preview will combine some pdf files, but not others, what gives?

    After years of PC loyalty, I switched to a MacBook Pro four years ago and found heaven. Most of that time I've blissfully worked my arse off at my office on a powerful, simple, wonder of a machine/OS. However, the latest update to my Preview app seems intent on ruining one of my favorite programs. Often I take a pdf file (a cover sheet) and add technical data pages to the pdf by combining other pdf files (drag and drop). This used to work seamlessly without hitches. After the latest update however, I cannot add certain files without an act of congress! Some files stubbornly refuse to combine, in which case I must duplicate the host file, or the files being added (often several times), saving and removing versions before it magically works! Granted, I'm no wiz and I'm quite sure I'm overlooking a simple step that will clear this confusion. Can anyone help? The lovely cash vampires at Apple refuse without payment. Thanks in advance.

    However, there is one album that's giving me trouble. About 2/3rds of the songs from the album refuse to be transferred into iTunes, and I have no idea why. All the songs in the album are the same format (.wma) and all of them could be read in iTunes on my Windows 7 system
    They could be added to iTunes but iTunes converts them as iTunes cannot play WMA files (as Brett mentioned).
    You can first add them to iTunes on your Windows computer, which will convert them to AAC & then copy the converted files to the new computer.

  • My iphone 4s only works when plugged in, experiences random crashes, and the wifi is grayed out?

    First post here. I'm experiencing some pretty complicated issues with my iphone 4s of several years, which began yesterday at random. I'm sorry for the length, but if someone could read through all of this and help me out, I would be so grateful.
    I started experiencing some complex issues with my iphone yesterday, seemingly at random. I was taking a phone call, and all of a sudden, my phone goes dark. The battery was between 50%-80% at the time. I immediately plugged it in, and the apple logo appeared and began to power on. When it came back on however, I immediately noticed some changes. For starters, the battery leapt to 100%. The top corner of my phone where the carrier and bars should be says "searching..." (this never goes away). When I go into settings, the wifi is grayed out and says "no wifi."
    That's not the worst of it though. As of last night, the number of times my phone crashes has gotten progressively worse. Now, even when I plug my iphone in to a wall charger, it stays on for maybe 1-4 minutes before it crashes completely. After this, it sometimes restarts itself. Before the shut-down, there are usually some weird bars or colors that flash across the screen (it's always different). I'm running on ios5 (I just really like the layout so much more, so I never bothered updating).
    I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary to my phone. I walked in the rain for a short while when it was in my back pocket, but I've done this many times before and I don't see how that could create massive water damage. Also, it worked perfectly fine for a few hours after I got home. Quite literally, this just happened out of the blue. No warning, no signals, nothing. So far, I've tried...
    - turning it on and off (duh)
    - doing a hard reboot by holding down the middle and top buttons, several times
    - resetting the network settings
    - turning off data roaming and toggling airplane mode on and off
    I even attempted the freezer trick. I didn't put the phone in the actual freezer because I was worried about condensation, but I did set it down on an icepack. This seemed to keep it alive a little bit longer before crashing, but only marginally so. My original plan was to plug my phone into my computer and download all my pictures and whatnot before attempting a complete data wipe and factory reset, but this also seems impossible. When I plug the phone into my laptop, the little apple logo comes and goes, but it simply never powers on fully. And even if it did, I doubt it would stay on long enough for me to complete a download without things crashing.
    I'm totally lost here. Is my phone wrecked? I'm sensitive about my privacy, so I'm not crazy about the idea of taking my phone to the apple store and having them make some sort of copy of my data. I'm also not crazy about uploading all of my phones data to iTunes or the cloud or something like that. In addition to this, I don't know how I would salvage my in-app data. That's also something I'm worried about. I can't attempt to update my ios without wifi or the ability to plug my phone into a computer. All of this would be a lot easier if I could keep my iphone on longer than 2 minutes.
    I've had this phone for years. I really don't want to just let it die at random and never even know why. I just feel like this hit me out of nowhere. Any suggestions about what I could do? I'm willing to try everything. I'm planning on calling apple, but I was thinking of asking online first.
    BONUS: if anyone could answer these extra questions (you don't have to), that would be awesome! When you do a complete data wipe and restore your iphone to factory settings, where does all of your data go? Is it actually *gone* for good? I'm not just talking about photos, but also internet history, in-app data, and youtube history from the youtube app. Does it disappear completely? Or does it get stored somewhere. Also, is there anyway to downgrade a new iphone to an earlier ios without jail breaking it? I've pretty much lost hope with this phone, but if I get a new one, I just wish there was some way to keep using the old ios I'm used to.
    Thanks so much to anyone who can answer these questions.

    I have tried everything
    If that is the case, by definition there is nothing left you can do...
    Did you try connecting to another computer?  Did this computer ever detect the phone?  Does the USB system on your computer work normally with other devices?  What is your computer OS version?  iTunes version??

  • 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.
    Sincerely'

  • How can I uncheck "Enable disk use" in iTunes for my iPod? The option is grayed out, and permanently checked.

    When I plug in my iPod Nano (6th generation) and launch iTunes, the device appears in the sidebar as normal, but the option to check or uncheck "Enable Disk use" in the Summary pane for the iPod is grayed out. Currently, the box is checked, so "Enable disk use " is turned on -- but what I want to do is UNcheck it and turn it off.
    But nothing I've tried so far has successfully ungrayed the "Enable disk use" box. Help!
    Question: How can I ungrey the "Enable disk use" option in my iPod's Summary panel in iTunes, allowing me to uncheck it?
    Alternately, is there any other way to turn off "Enable disk use," using some esoteric workaround? Thanks!

    Set it to sync automatically. Disabling that option isn't possible for an iPod set to sync manually, as it shows up as a disk as part of the sync process, and iTunes has no way of knowing when you're done syncing an iPod set to do so manually.
