Why is my drafts folder grey and unaccessible on iPad2? It is not empty, contains 1 draft.

Hi,
My drafts folder is completely grey and unaccessible despite the fact that it contains 1 draft. I would like to know how I can either force empty this folder or simply get access to it again (black rather than grey).
The draft was created by the Dragon Dictation app which I thought I might mention but I have never had a problem accessing drafts before that I can remember.
I have seen a discussion for ipad 1 where all she had to do was turn her ipad to portrait and it went back to black but this is not the case with my ipad2.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated I am foxed by this problem.
Many thanks,
Anni

Why does iphoto screen go grey and a spinning wheel in the middle of the page and nothing else

can someone tell me why i always get a spinning wheel in the middle of the page and nothing else when trying to open iphoto

Either the program, the iPhoto Library or the iPhoto preference file is hosed.
First thing is first, backup your user file folders to a external hard drive and disconnect.
The easiest (and most likey the cause of your issue) to fix would be the iPhoto preference file
iPhoto preference file fix
Look in your /Users/Library/Preference for a file like
com.apple.iphotopreferences.plist
or
com.apple.iphoto.plist
and delete it and reboot, restart iPhoto and re-enter your preferences.
If your on OS X Lion, your going to have to use the Finder's "Go To" to get to the Library as it's hidden as in Snow Leopard it's not.
Reinstall iPhoto
If that doesn't resolve your issue and your on Lion, you can redownload the iLife software from the MacAppStore and simply reinstall it, which will overwrite iPhoto and fix it.
If your on Snow Leopard you reboot holding c from the 10.6 grey installer disks (only) that came with your comptuer and simply reinstall OS X 10.6 which will reinstall iPhoto (the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk doesn't have iLife)
If you purchased iLife from the boxed set, then reinstall it.
If you had iLife from 10.5 and your on 10.6 or 10.7, or got it free with 10.6 and now on 10.7, then your going to have to wait until you try the next step (then extract iPhoto from the installer disk using Pacifist or purchase iLife)
Rebuild iPhoto Library
If that doesn't resovle your issue you can right click (or control click) on the iPhoto Library and "Show Package Contents" inside will be a folder with all your original photo's. Copy these out and move the iPhoto Library out of the Pictures folder and rename it (if you can) so iPhoto can't find it.
Then restart iPhoto and see if it creates a new iPhoto Library, then simply import the pictures from the copy you made.
If it fails to work after this, there is a corrupted picture in your iPhoto, you'll have to repeat the same process with importing a few pictures at a time until you can locate the corrupted ones.

Why is my screen going grey and then white and cursor gets stuck

Hi there, why would my screen be going grey with pixels on it and then completely white and the cursor gets stuck and then disappears.
I have to click scroller a number of times for it to start working again. When it does the screen colour change from grey to white the writing on the screen disappears aswell.

Could be a graphics chip issue. If the machine is newer than October 2011, boot with the 'D' key on its own. Otherwise find the original installer discs, or use this tip to find the age of the machine to make sure you can get the right hardware test with the 'D' key boot. You can either call AppleCare for the original discs, or see if it is available from this link:

Why is cellular data randomly greyed out on my ipad2?

Sometimes when I want to use 3G on my iPad 2, cellular data is greyed out. It only returns with a hard reboot. I have an up to date plan on at&t and am running iOS 5.1.
Not a major crisis, just wanted to see if anyone has the same problem or a solution.
Thanks.

The simple and quick solution by "dale from sf" worked for me. No reboot needed.
If you do not know how to "terminate" Settings, here is the gory detail. Many words to read, just a few seconds to do.
Press the "Settings" icon to open the Settings app. Observe that Airplane Mode is OFF and Cellular Data is (improperly) grayed out.
Press the Home button once to exit Settings.
Double-tap the Home button. (The contents of the screen will slide up an inch and look like it's behind smoked glass. The bottom row of the screen--which won't look like smoked glass--will display the icons of the last few apps you have run. The Settings icon, run most recently, will be the leftmost of those icons.)
Press and hold the Settings icon (at the left end of the bottom row) for about 2 seconds until a "minus badge" (red circle with white minus sign inside) appears near the top left corner of the Settings icon.
Tap the red "minus badge". (This will "terminate" the current run of the Settings app but leave the app installed on your iPad. Your settings won't change, but if you were in the middle of a process such as joining a wi-fi network or setting up a mail account, it may not complete and you may need to restart that process from the beginning.)
Press the "Settings" icon to open the Settings app. Confirm that Cellular Data is no longer grayed out. (If it is still grayed out, this method did not work folr you, Power off the iPad and power it back on.)

I changed it to illustrator and saved as PDF but the colors were very dark.
I have renamed it and opened again.
I duplicated the layers to another doc.
Closed PS and opened it again.
Please help. Thanks!

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
To see your iTunes folder click on the Music folder icon in your Finder sidebar.

Grey and White

Why do they only have grey and white in outlook 2013? That sucks so bad. Outlook 2007 was way better on the eyes.

Hi,
I understand there are only three themes in Office 2013 which is not so satisfactory to some users. I've collected the suggestion and please be assured that any improvements in the product are based on users' requirements. Our developers strive to capture
Microsoft users' ideas and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.

Font size in the folder window and feet thumbnails Adobe Bridge

I've been trying to figure out how to increase font size in the Folder window and foot Brige thumbnails, but can not find it anywhere.
I do not mean the font size in the window metadata. In that window I know how.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very much, as I have vision problems and the size of the letter have to much strain to read.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I imagined that this is not possible ..... I´ve given it a lot of thought before asking .....
As is the case with the brightness of the background area around the picture window in ACR (trim panels column and area around the image window), whose brightness dazzles enough to incorrectly assess the brightness of dark parts image and can not be changed (as can be done, however, in Bridge and Ps, even in the background of the image window's own ACR 8.4), this two questions should be posed to developers group Creative Cloud, as suggestions for future improvements that could be implemented .... But I have no idea how to do that .....
Again, thank you very much for your feedback.
Regards

Why is my iPhoto library greyed out in the Screensaver folder selection dialog on one iMac but not my other?

Why is my iPhoto library greyed out in the Screensaver folder selection dialog on one iMac but not my other?

I have an update to my issue above, with a Semi-solution found. I brought my Macbook Air back to the Genus bar today and they were able to identify (using “Activity Monitor”) that when the particular iPhoto library was being launched through iPhoto both Photostream and iPhoto's CPU% usage was excessively high (between 100% - 200% each). She discovered that if we turn off Photostream in iCloud settings iPhoto then behaved fast and snappy and CPU% came back down to a healthier level. When we turned Photostream back on the problem continued. After an hour of trying to trouble shoot why Photostream was causing the issue they recommended I keep Photostream turned off until a future software update/fix comes out. The particular Genus I worked with was not familiar with this issue. I’m very happy to at least be able to use iPhoto again, but if anyone has ideas or theories on how the Photostream conflict can be fixed please share. Thanks.

Mail Folder turned grey and emails have disappeared!

I’ve got a problem with a folder in mail 2.1.3 whereby the folder (which contained a number of subfolders, each in turn containing a fair few emails) has turned grey and the emails seem to have disappeared.
All I did was to try and rename the main folder, but got a message saying the folder could not be renamed, and instead a new folder was created. This was when the original folder turned grey?? The dub folder structure remained intact but all the messages from all the folders have disappeared.
I’ve looked at what should be the folder contents in user/username/library/mail/mailboxes/THEFOLDER and can see that the subfolders and the messages are there but they simply dont show up in mail.
Can anyone tell me how to reinstate the messages in the folders, and maybe why this has happened?
Thanks in advance.
Phil

Perhaps we just lost the custom icon for that folder, you can navigate to it in the Finder, do a Get info on it and change the icon if you wish.
What is the best way to see if there is a potential problem with the disk?
We secretly did one wth the Safe Boot already, 1st thing it does is check & try to repair the disk.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
I consider DiskWarrior from Alsoft the best tool for disks, get the CD/DVD...
