Why can't I select preferred wifi networks

why can't I select preferred wifi networks

I don't know how to block the other wireless access points to show on the list, but from what you said, you want to let it connect to one of your preferred network whenever one is available, connect it automatically.
before you change anything, let run the following command in Terminal to show your Mac current settings:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort en1 prefs
copy what it returned.
mine returned:
AirPort preferences for en1:
DisconnectOnLogout=NO
JoinMode=Preferred
JoinModeFallback=Prompt
RememberRecentNetworks=YES
RequireAdminIBSS=NO
RequireAdminNetworkChange=YES
RequireAdminPowerToggle=YES
WoWEnabled=NO
That's the default behaviour of OS X, we don't care for what reason it was changed on your Mac. Lets reset it.
in Terminal, run the following command:
sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/air port en1 prefs JoinMode=Preferred JoinModeFallback=Prompt RememberRecentNetworks=YES
it may ask you to put admin password, and do so, press enter to continue.
Explain a little bit.
The JoinMode=Preferred means, it will connect your preferred network when it's available.
JoinModeFallback=Prompt: if no preferred network around, it will prompt you to choose. if you want you can select other options:
     JoinOpen
     KeepLooking
     DoNothing
RememberRecentNetworks=YES: it will remember whatever network it joined before, put it in your preferred network. If you want, set it to No.
you can get the details of airport command by run:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort
Hope this help.

Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings?

Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings. . . I see it there as an option, but it won't let me choose it. I don't want to manually shuffle 329 slides!

It's only available in slideshow that are generated from a album. There you can select the Shuffle checkbox. You can also save the settings for that specific album to be used on any set of photos that you might put in there. Name the album something like Slideshow and reuse it. Just remove the last batch of photos from it and add the new ones. That will save you having to set all of the settings each time or just one setting like music.

Why can I not select SD versions of SD programs I purchased?

Why can I not select SD versions of SD TV programs I purchased? When I go to my program to download it. I click the SD button, that is what I paid for. It will not move over to the SD version to allow me to download it even though I have received notification that I have a new program waiting.

I found my own solution. While in the Itunes store I did a search for the program by name of the current season. It brought up a list of the current season and it showed that I had an undownloaded episode of the program. I hit the download ad it completed the SD download.

Why is select calendar and address book greyed out? Why can we not select these options?

Why can we not select address books or calendars? Why is this option greyed out in ITunes 12?

You have to make the selection active.
Go to Select>all, then Select>modify>border.
Another way is to use a stroke:
Open your picture file
Go to Select>all
Open a blank layer above this
Go to Edit>stroke(outline) selection. In the dialog, enter the width of the stroke, choose color, place it inside, ok it.
If you don't like the border, delete the layer with the stroke, and adjust to suit, then do it over starting with step #3

Why can't I select "get info" from the file area so I can change the setting to "open in 32-bit mode" ?

It may be because of your settings. You can modify that setting in System Preferences > Trackpad. Another way of making right-click is to click the app icon while holding the Control key

Why can't I select a Music Source - iPhoto 9.1.3?

I can't stand that awful jazzy piano accompaniment when I start a slideshow, but every time I try to change the music, ie here:
...I click on the arrows where it says "Source" & nothing happens. I've tried trashing the pref file, but it still resolutely refuses to show anything at all. I deselected "Play music during slideshow" because that jazzy piano was doing my head in!! Why can't I select some other music source?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/ Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot and launch iPhoto to try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that doesn't help try deleting the com.apple.iApps.plist file from the same folder as the iPhoto preference file.

Why can't I select just one album under artist view and listen to it from beginning to end anymore? Why would you change that?

Why can't I go under artist view in music app, select 1 of multiple albums by a specific artist and play the whole album from beginning to end? Why would you have it automatically shuffle between songs from several albums by the same artist automatically? How do we change this back to previous function because this is sucking big time for a music lover.

I agree this is a really dumb change and I really hope Apple changes it back to the way it was.
In iOS 6 and earlier when you were in the Music player and selected ARTIST it would show a list sorted by artist. When you selected the artist you wanted, it would show a list of their albums. Then you could select the album and see the list of songs. In iOS 7 after you select Artist, it displays the album and every track, so you have to scroll down through not only the album but every track on that album. That was a really stupid change on Apple's part. Makes no sense.
Here is the list of albums under iOS 6.x...
and here is what is looks like under iOS 7.0
In iOS 7.0 you have to scroll down through all the songs to see the other albums. That can be a really pain if you have a large music collection.
Please Apple change it back to the way it was!! This didn't need to change!

Language recognition: why can I only select english for transcription?

I found an introductory video explaining language recognition. there the user could transcribe audio metadata and select different languages. when I do this, all lanugages apart from English (USA) are grey and can not be selected. Why could this be? Just a question of downloading a language plugin?
Thank you in advance,
Niklas

I can't replicate this. It gives me a number of options, German, US, UK, Korean, Italian etc. and none are greyed out.
AFAIK there is no plugin to install. IIRC you have the opportunity to select the transcription languages on installation. In that case a reinstall may help.

Why can't I select previous Time Machine Backups?

I'm running 10.7.5 on a 2010 Macbook Pro and, as of a few hours ago, I can no longer select previous back ups in Time Machine in order to delete entire back ups or single files. Can someone help me here? My ext HD is full and I want to create some space on it since Time Machine doesn't seem to be doing it automatically.
Thanks!

Hey Anania!
I have an article for you that addresses this situation:

Why can't I select all text in mail?

I just upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 5, and noticed that I no longer have the option to 'select all' in a mail document?!? If I tap & hold on the document, my choices are 'copy', 'define', and 'speak'. The select all option is no longer present. I use this feature quite a bit & I really want it back. Is there some setting I can change somewhere?
Thanks, anyone who can help
Natalie

i got same issue like you on iOS 5.0.1, not only in mail but also in safari or other apps.
sometimes i can make the 'select all' option out but when i did it, did nothing.

Why can't I select background images in Pages 5?

So I've got a document with an image of a Gantt Chart, and it's been formatted to be in the background.
When I try to insert a new page before this image, it overlays the text of another page.
Trying to find 'select background images' is no where to be found, whereas in Pages 09, it was fine.
I'm all for simplicity, but removing something like this, and not being able to select this image at all?
Is there anything I've missed?

This is not the answer to the original question but it is an answer to a related problem.
Apparently, Apple removed the simple and useful "Send Object to Background" menu item. For the last half an hour I was straggling to put my signature image under my name in a letter. The image background is white. So, when I insert the image, it is on top of the text and blocking it.
Then, I searched and found this discussion, it helped but not solved the problem. I found a solution inspired by this discussion. Here, what I tried to send an image to the background.
Chose the image in question. When I selected "Arrange -> Section Masters -> Move Object to Page" as suggested in this thread, it moves the image to the background. BUT, the image appears on every page at the same position within the section. If the document is a single-section document (almost all my documents are single-section documents, as I use Pages for short simple documents like letters (in the near future, I'll say "I used to use Pages", as this kind of feature removal makes it unfeasible to use it anymore).
Thus, you have to define a new section which should contain only the page in question. Enough rumbling! Here is exactly what I did:
Let N be the page number on which you wish to put an object in the background.
Go to page N (your cursor must be somewhere on that page)
On the toolbar choose "Setup -> Section Tab -> Create a new section -> Starting with this page"
Go to page N+1
On the toolbar choose "Setup -> Section Tab -> Create a new section -> Starting with this page"
Now, you have a single-page-section on page N.
Put you object on page N
Select the object (image)
On the menu, choose "Arrange -> Section Masters -> Move Object to Page"
Also, I recommend to enable by "Arrange -> Section Masters -> make Master Objects Selectable"
You can put any number of objects on page N by repeating on steps 5 to 8.
The problem is, however, if you continue to edit your document and and sections gets longer, it will start a new page at the end of that section. Which is awful, because you'll have to remove the sections, and start from scratch, or manually move the text from one section to the other. So, do this after you are done with the document. Pity!
If anyone have a better solution it will be appreciated.
-- o --
Now, I will continue to nag, if you allow me. When I open an old Pages document with images in the background, it opens just fine. It is not selectable as the original author stated. This indicate that Pages still support background objects independent of the sections, it just doesn't offer in interface to that facility. Why?
I had a fairly large number of letters and templates I created with Pages. Before it is too late, I'll abandon it.
I have a similar experience with iWeb. Apple promoted it, and then abandon it. Now all of my class pages (http://web.boun.edu.tr/akdogan) look too 2000s style, but I don't have energy to convert them something else at this point, but I'll have to.
So I will continue to use LaTeX for long documents (that has been the choice for a long time), but I'll switch back to almost equally annoying Word for short and medium documents.
Again, pity! I used to like Pages.
