Why is my phone number greyed out with no check mark in Messages under Settings?

The number for the iPhone is grayed out but if no check mark under you can be reached by iMessage at, can you select the number below start new conversations from?

  • Why is my phone number greyed out under imessage?

    PLEASE HELPP AGAIN!

    Sounds like it hasn't been activated. Does it say waiting for activation under your Apple ID in: Setttings > iMessage?
    If so try: signing out of iMessage then sign back in.
    Then reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
    Now check to see if it activated.

    By chance, are you running a Mac with Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2?  If so, I noticed something similar.... I now have my phone number and email address for use in Facetime and Messages.  Maybe your user friends have not upgraded to iOS6, because both addresses only show in iOS I believe.  iOS 5 only shows one or the other address.

  • .ipa file will install in iTunes and copy to iPhone or iPad but shows as greyed out with "installing" or "waiting" underneath.

    Hey All:
    I have an .ipa file that is legit and "signed" (at least I think so) but for some reason will not work on any device. I basically drag the .ipa file into itunes app section and it will show there as a working app.
    I select the button that says "install" so that when it syncs it puts it on my ipad or iphone. Once I move over to the iphone or ipad the icon is greyed out with the words waiting or installing under the icon.
    Waiting for a half a day at one point before I finally gave up and deleted it from my devices.
    Can someone point me in a direction as to what I might be doing wrong? The only thing I can think is that its' not io7.1 compatable but that is all I got.
    Thanks
    Paul

    I am assuming you where generating the .ipa file using a UniversalDistribution  Provisioning Profile with an iOS Developer Enterprise Account. If so I had the same problem - turned out it was a Certificate issue - what worked for me was when creating the Certificate which I did manually using Keychain Access I left the Common Name field blank and the .ipa installed properly on my devices. Hope this helps.

  • Songs I recently downloaded are all Greyed out with a grey cloud next to them?

    Recently got an iTunes gift card for Christmas and was at my family's house. I went on their iTunes and signed into my Apple ID Account to use my new gift card under my Account. Everything went fine until I went home and opened my iTunes account on my PC Windows Computer. The recently Downloaded songs are ALL Greyed Out with a Cloud next to them? Now I can't play any of these NEW SONGS I just purchased?!?! PLEASE HELP ME!!

    I downloaded one of the file explorer programs (iFunbox in my case) for my PC and deleted everything out of the "Purchases" folder on the phone's "Raw File System". After a couple of syncs with iTunes everything was back to normal. It appears that something was screwed up on the iPhone side that iTunes couldn't sort out. I don't think anything could sync from iTunes to the phone, not just the greyed out items.
    This is why resetting and restoring the iPhone also works for a lot of people. It's overkill though, deletes your app data, and just wastes your time setting everything back up after the restore. Better to use the surgical approach of a file system explorer program on your PC to fix what appears to be a mundane data corruption issue.

  • IMessage phone number grayed out

    Hello,
    My phone number is grayed out in iMessage. I've restarted my phone and reset the network settings, etc. I've also logged out of iMessage and back it but it's still grayed out. The same thing happens with FaceTime.
    Thoughts.

    Not sure what you mean by "it won't let me send with my number using iMessage"?
    Again, that is how it looks normally:
    The first number you see listed above is the number of the iPhone that iMessages is set up on. The second number is another iPhone number that I manually entered.
    You can see that the first number is greyed out (as it should be).
    Does your number have a check mark next to it?
    If not, then that is the issue, not that it is greyed out.
    If the number does not have a check mark next to it, then sign out of iMessage by clicking on your Apple ID at the top of the screen under Settings>iMessages, and then sign back in again. Do the same with FaceTime if that is the issue there.
    Cheers,

  • How do i synch my pdf/books to my library. I was able to synch my ipod touch purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.

    How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes  library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
    I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?

    thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
    i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs  did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:)

  • Using the Android Reader app, why is the signature option greyed out?

    I have a client that has enlisted me to create 3 fillable PDF forms. I used FormsCentral to create these fillable forms, then I saved them as PDFs to my Dropbox. I opened the Adobe Reader app on my Tablet, and access the forms. As for the client, they are home builders, and these 3 forms are 3 different stages of the building process. They are using them to interact with the new homeowner. They want to do this on Samsung Note 10.1 tablets with Verizon data. There are 3 issues I am faced with fixing:
    1. The signing process is quite a process. Meaning too many clicks to setup and apply a digital signature according to the customer. And that is on a PC, because I am unable to use the "signature" function - the button is greyed out. Why is that?
    2. Once we resolve the above issue, then will there be a way to "lock" the form so that the customer's responses and selections are unchangeable? If so, how?
    3. Once the form is signed and "locked" (if possible), what is the simplest way to send the form via e-mail? I ask because they want there to be a way to setup the form to e-mail copies to the addresses that are entered into an e-mail field on the form. Sort of "auto-populate" the addresses as well as be able to set a predetermined address (back to their office) so that the results may be sent via mobile instantly upon completion.
    I know that is a lot to ask. Your help would be most appreciated!
    Thanks in advance, Rob

    (1) Why is the Signature button greyed out (disabled)?
    You used FormsCentral to create fillable forms and exported to PDF.  When exporting FormsCentral forms to PDF forms, FormsCentral adds "extended rights" to PDF forms so that users can fill out the PDF forms in Adobe Reader (which is a PDF viewer, not a PDF editor).
    The current version (11.5.0) of Adobe Reader for Android does not allow signatures to be added to any "Reader Extended" PDF documents (including forms).  We are actively investigating and trying to resolve the problem.
    (2) Is there a way to "lock" a PDF form?
    You can "flatten" a PDF form after the form has been filled out and signed by a customer.  Once flattened, it's not possible to change filled data or signatures.  When you try to email a filled PDF form (optionally with a signature), Adobe Reader for iOS will present the E-mail Document dialog with two options: "Send Original Document" and "Send Flattened Copy".  You can choose the "Send Flattened Copy" option.
    Unfortunately, the feature has not been supported in Adobe Reader for Android yet.
    (3) What is the easiest way to send a "flattened" copy via email?
    Because the issues 1 & 2 above have not been resolved, you are not able to do this in Adobe Reader for Android.  However, you can do this in Adobe Reader for iOS.
    First, you need to add a Submit button to your PDF form.  I am not sure if you can do this in FormsCentral.  But you can use Adobe Acrobat (a paid product) to add a Submit button.
    Setting action buttons > Add a submit button
    When your customer taps the Submit button in the PDF form, Adobe Reader (for iOS - for now) will present thee same E-mail Document dialog.  Once the "Send Flattened Copy" option is selected, Reader will launch the default Mail app and auto-populate email address(es) specified for the Submit button action.
    Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:

  • 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.

  • HT201077 Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel.

    Why is my photo stream greyed out in the iCloud Control Panel?

    I had the same problem. I think it must be caused by the fact that i bought a charger in Apple Store Tokyo, and then entered my email address on the warranty form. Ever since emails in Japanese started appearing. When I now enabled Shared Photo Streams, my friends got invitations from me in Japanese too.
    I was looking everywhere for language settings, but they all seemed in order. On iCloud that is.
    It turns out it was the language settings on my apple-ID, not my iCloud-ID that was wrong, after a purchase at Apple Store Tokyo. Who would have thought that these two IDs were related? Or maybe they should be, but then why are they not even more integrated? Duplicate language settings?
    This solved the problem:
    1. Log into appleid.apple.com
    2. Set the language.
    The real problem however, is that Apple changed my language after a visit to an Apple Store. Come on! I already had a Norwegian apple-ID, a Norwegian credit card, and a Norwegian address. What could possibly make you think that I suddenly spoke Japanese? Ever happened that a tourist visited an Apple Store? Companies needs to learn that customers can make their own decisions, and often do, or want to do it, if they are allowed to do so. Examples of features that was designed not considering this fact: The play button on a Mac always launching iTunes, even though I'm already playing music in Spotify (and never use iTunes for music). Or Spotifys obsession with reporting everything you listen to, turning off the Private Session after 6 hours, so you have to make that setting every time you start playing music.

  • Why is entire file menu greyed out?

    Why is entire file menu greyed out?

    Thanks for the VERY helpful links, the-edmeister!
    The FILE Menu was <u>'''''not'''''</u> greyed out in SAFE MODE.
    I only had one THEME, the DEFAULT one, which I was using.
    I disabled a few ADD-ONS and that solved the problem. They should check them first. I don't have time right now, or I'd do it myself. Later, maybe.

    Uploading photos and videos taken on your iPhone to your computer should be quite straightforward. You simply attach your iPhone to the computer with the USB cable that came with your iPhone. The computer should recognize your iPhone as a camera and start its photo handling software.
