Why is Contacts delete greyed out?

I can not find a way to delete contacts. I select a name and there is no delete button. The delete under edit menu is greyed out.

I hope not, I have no facebook account. I'm just using Apple's application, "Contacts".
Here is a message from the terminal when I press the [delete] key when a name/card is selected from within Contacts.
9/21/12 7:28:01.993 AM Contacts[9722]: Error deleting people: Error Domain=ABAddressBookErrorDomain Code=1002 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (ABAddressBookErrorDomain error 1002.)" UserInfo=0x7fc034bcb210 {FailedRecords=(

Cannot delete greyed out podcasts on Ipod Touch

I cannot delete greyed out podcasts on my ipod Touch since uprading to iOS 5.1. They don't appear when connected to itunes. Scarcely the end of the world but a little annoying! I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

This appears to be a bug. The only way I have been able to resolve this myself is to unsync and resync all of my podcasts via iTunes.

How to delete greyed-out groups

How do you delete greyed-out groups which cannot be selected please?

You should be able to just click on it and hit the delete key even iff it is greyed out.

Why is Delete greyed out in the Edit menu? (track selected in regular playlist)

Hi. Starting today, Delete is permanently greyed out in the Edit menu in iTunes. This is with tracks selected in the Music library or in any playlist (not just Smart Playlists). I manage tracks daily, and this just started today. I upgraded to 10.4 about a week back so it was fine for a while. Immediately before the problem manifested itself, I selected "Always Show Artwork" from the View menu (which is available when you're in Album List mode), something I've never done before. But that might be totally unreleated.
Hitting the Delete key doesn't work either (actually that's my preferred method). However "Cut" and Cmd-X do work, as does the Delete command in the contextual menu. So I have a workaround.
Quitting and re-entering iTunes didn't help, nor did de-selecting "Always Show Artwork".

Hmm. I came to realise iTune Match had downgraded 38 of my tracks, which I'd ripped from my own CDs long ago, with 256kbps versions. I do have backup for the tracks, so I'd like to delete these 38 tracks (I've made a Smart playlist of them), deleting them from iCloud too; then with Match turned off, recover my originals (Add to Library) from an old Mac.
Can't do it! As Richard Tench said at the top, from 27 July 2011, Edit > Delete is permanently grayed out if you have opted for iT Match. And for me on iTunes 10.6.3 (Lion 10.7.4), that's not all: Edit > Cut and Cmd-x both just produce the Bonk sound. My Macbook keyboard has no Del key either.
But all the above are only true with Match active. Store > Turn Off iTunes Match will ungrey Edit > Delete (& fn-bksp etc I imagine). So I would then be able to delete the tracks locally. But of course, if you turn off iT Match you can delete all you like locally, but they will still exist in iCloud, and if I turn on iT Match again, the lower-grade 256kbps ones will come down from the clouds to replace my CD-ripped ones again! Won't they?
Is that right? Is there any way to exclude these 38 tracks (out of ~6500) from iTunes Match so I can keep my better quality CD-ripped ones? (Other than using Alt-Launch & creating a separate iTunes fileset for the 38 tracks - as you might have guessed, some of them fall right in the middle of albums.) Help!

CUPC 8.6 Contact Call Greyed Out Issue

Hi All
I'm having an issue with contacts in CUPC, I have CUCM 8.6.2a SU2 and CUP 8.6.4 in HA mode configured as Active/ Standby and I am using the CUPC client 8.6.1, the issue I have is that when I add a contact to the client, it works fine for Presence and I can call the click on the client and the call option is available, however as soon as I log out of CUPC and log back in again, the Call option is greyed out, if I remove the contact and then re add the contact then Call is available again.
All IM and Presence is working fine, its just the Call option that is an issue.
Anyone come across this before or can advise?
Regards
Nick

Hi
OK - so it should all fall into place when you get the AD connected.
One note - if you have contacts in your list, that are people in the AD, you'll probably need to delete them and then re-add once it's running to get proper information/status etc... so don't get too carried away preconfiguring users etc.!

Have Added Soundtrack Pro Loops. Now Need To Delete Greyed Out Duplicates?

As you know, only half the loops come on the DVD and the rest have to be downloaded.
The downloadable loops appear greyed out in the Loops Browser until you download them.
I have added my Soundtrack Pro loops to the Loops Browser so now every downloadable loop is duplicated.
One is playable (the STP one) whilst the other is greyed out.

Why "TDM DSP Usage" greyed out?

I'm using Logic Pro 7.1.0 on a G5 running OSX 10.4.2 with an HD3 system.
I want to check my TDM DSP usage but it's "greyed out" in the Audio menu, non functional.. anybody know why?
thanks
Ed A

Yes it is a Tiger/LP7 issue. I guess a was a little vauge..I meant: this is what's holding me back from upgrading my main rig to OS X 10.4.2
I've not seen LAP 6.4.3 on a Tiger/TDM config yet, might be an issue there too..
Truth is, LAP 6.4.3(native) is not great on my PB that's running 10.4.2.

Can't delete old apps from iTunes. 'Delete' greyed out

I would like to delete a number of old apps from my iTunes. However, when I go to the 'Apps' tab and highlight the app it doesn't delete. Also, when I go into 'Edit', the 'Delete' button is greyed out. I have tried logging out of my iTunes account and logging back in, switching the computer on and off and also by trying with both plugging in both my iPhone and iPad. Nothing works! I would much appreciate any ideas.
Thanks.

Hi bickyk,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below explains how to delete apps from your Mac, iPhone or iPad. On your Mac, you should be able to click on the app to select it, and then press Delete on your keyboard.
If for some reason you are not able to delete the app from your computer, you can hide it instead. Click on the link below for complete details. I've highlighted the key points for you.
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5772
You can delete items that you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store from your iOS device, Mac, or PC. Because Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) plays content from the cloud, you don't need to delete items from your Apple TV.
Before you delete an item, make sure you can download it again. If you can't or need to pay to download it again, back up the item before you delete it.
After you delete an item, it might still be visible if you can download it again from iTunes in the Cloud. The Download icon will appear next to these items. You can hide items available in iCloud and purchases from the Mac App Store.
Apps
Open the section below for the device you're using.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Tap and hold the app you want to delete.
The apps will begin to jiggle.
Tap the X on the app.
Mac or PC
Open iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Apps.
Click the app you want to delete.
Press Delete on your keyboard.
Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4928
Hide your purchases
If you hide an item you purchased in the Mac App Store, you won't get update notifications for it, and you won't see it on your Purchases page. If you're using Family Sharing, hidden items will also be hidden from your family members.
Use these steps on OS X Mountain Lion or later:
Open the Mac App Store.
Choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
Right-click the item that you want to hide and choose Hide Purchase. A prompt will ask if you're sure that you want to hide the item.
Click the Hide Purchase button. The item will fade. The item below it, if there is one, will replace it in the list.
Use these steps on OS X Lion:
Open the Mac App Store.
Choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
Locate the item that you want to hide.
Click the X to the right of that item. The item will fade. The item below it, if there is one, will replace it in the list.
I hope this information helps ....

Contact list greyed out in mail

Since the Yosemite update, my contact list is greyed out in mail. I can't select any contacts to add to the "to" "CC" or "BCC" fields. I went to my privacy settings to see if mail had permission to access my contacts, but mail isn't even on the list of apps requesting permission. HELP?

Same problem in iMac version. For now, I've laboriously added the names one by one to a new message then saved it as a draft. Now at least I can load the draft, copy the address field then paste it into my real message. At three separated clicks per address, building a 65 member list is crap, Apple!

Why is Submit Button Greyed Out on Compressor

Just recently, I have been unable to submit a video for compression. As always, I drag on the compression I want to use and select the destination. I hit the first submit buttn and the window drops down asking for the name of the batch. I enter the name but on this window the submit button is greyed out and I cannot submit the project for compression.
I looked at past instances of this problem and I downloaded and ran Compresser Repair 2.2, but the problem remains.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have never had this problem before.

Russ,
No worries. Yesterday, I brought the Apple Clean Install instructions to pointed out to me to my IT guy I had him do a clean intall of Compressor using the outline and the problem was solved. It took him an hour. It would have taken me 1/2 a day!
I did have one good bit of advice suggested by Jason Brown over at Creative Cow, but I didn't have time to research it - and my computer was already on my IT guy's bench. He said:
"Let me start by saying I'm not an expert...just a user, so I could be wrong. BUT I fixed my issue after installing fcpx, it moved compressor to a subfolder in applications, but not the Qmaster app. When I ran update, it updated Qmaster to 3.5.3 but compressor was just on 3.5 I took compressor out of that folder, ran update again and they were same version number. U can check version number by looking about under file menu. For Qmaster, select app, get info and its in there."
I think he is suggesting that Emaster and Compressor need simultanious updats, and to do that Apple has to be able to find the files. The fact that Apple has the clean install for Compressor so available and in multiple locations suggsts to me that this is a common problem.
One of the Creative Cow guys said that his production company does complete clean installs off all apps on all machines every 12 to 16 months!
Well, I declare this issue fixed, and thank you for all your help and advice. Hopefully, someone else will find this thread and it will be helpful to them.
Regards,
Barry

Why is Import Video greyed out for a new Flash project?

I have been trying unsuccessfully to load any MP4 (H.264 encoding), FLV, or F4V files into a brand new project. I've tried importing FLV and F4V files via the Import to Library and Import to Stage menu choices but all result in "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them" error message. I just downloaded Flash CC today (Feb 23, 2014) and cannot even get started on my project since I cannot seem to load a video into the library or stage. I've looked at the tutorials, but they assume that I can choose the greyed out Import Video... menu choice. Searching the discussion didn't help me as most of the discussions are off-topic or from 2 or more years back.
Thanks,
Xtraspatial

Thank you sinious. I had QT 7.5.5 installed. The problem was unrelated. Like a bufoon, I created a new HTML5 canvas, which is unable to import videos. When I switched to a AS3 canvas all was as it should be. And there was rejoicing throughout the land! Case closed.
