Why is the "Choose File" button disabled when trying to add a photo to my account?

I have an iPad 1 and when I try to add a photo to my profile the "Choose File" button is disabled although I can choose a different Avatar. I suppose I could log in using my phone and try but that would defeat the purpose :-)

The ability to upload photos via Safari came in with (I think) iOS 6, so with a first-gen iPad and iOS 5 you won't be able to do so.
I thought it was available in 5, KP? But what do I know, I barely remember what I had for lunch today.

Choose File button disabled

I have php code below to upload a photo to a website. It works fine using Safari on my desktop (and other browsers) but not on my iPhone Safari browser. The Choose File button is disabled on the iPhone using its Safari browser.
I know there are some odd things about the browser on the iPhone such as you cannot have 'open' listboxes, they must always be of the 'closed' type. I'm wondering if I need to do something different with this code to get it work on Safari iPhone?
Thanks...

Ios 5.1 issue - why have the music controls been disabled when iphone is docked?

I just updated my iphone 4s yesterday, and immediately I have a huge problem.
When I dock the phone in my car (using a Denison dock) OR connect it via bluetooth to my car stereo, all of the music controls are locked!
The Music App becomes a white screen with "device connected" written on it, and there is no way for me to play/pause/skip/browse music on the handset.
Even double-clicking the home button, the audio controls are greyed-out and don't function.
I am furious about this, why break something that was working perfectly before? It's not for safety reasons because the iphone is happy for any other app to be used while docked. I use my iphone in the car all the time, and it is utterly USELESS if I can't use the Music app normally.
I have tested with docks at home, and this issue seems to occur only when the connected device can also control the iphone. I need to stress that no car controls can allow easy use of the Music app - it means you have to take the device off the dock to make any changes in what you're listening to.
PLEASE can this go back to the way it was!?

Found another post with a similar issue after upgrading to ios 5 and this worked for him, I might try this tonight and will re-post if it worked for ios 5.1:
1)Connect phone
2)Hightlight your phone on the left side of the iTunes window
3)Click on the music tab towards the top middle of the iTunes window
4)Uncheck "sync music"
5) Click "Apply" down on the bottom right At either this step or the preceding step you might get a
pop up box that says "you have made changes" or something like that, click okay or apply.
6)After this is finished, check to make sure there is no music left on your iPhone by double clicking on your
iPhone in the left hand pane of iTunes and then click on "music" under your iPhone
7)If there is no music on your iPhone, then recheck the "sync music" and then click "apply" down in the
bottom righ.
8)If you have a lot of music it will take hours to sync, but when finished your Dock accesorries should work again.

Why does the "download itunes" button appear when i try to download iTunes?

file://localhost/Volumes/Data/Sylvia/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202013-09-22%20at%201 0.53.23%20PM.png
When I click on the "Download iTunes" tab, it only shows me this, with no downloading link/option.
How can i download itunes 11.1 for my mac if i cant access it on the apple website?

It's no good posting the address of a picture on your computer (file://) - we can't see it and in any case posting picture URLs doesn't work well. You should use the camera icon in the toolbar of the composing field to post the image (which must be .jpg or .png) to the forum.
You should be able to download iTunes from here:

Why i do not have "Custom" category when trying to add a new web part

I have deployed a .wsp solution to my web application as follow, using Visual studio:-
But when I try to add this web part to my brand new enterprise wiki site collection, I can not see any “custom” web part area as follow:-
Baring in mind that we have an old site collection also of type enterprise wiki and is inside the same web application, which have the “custom” tab visible as follow:-

Hello john,
did you try to disable and enable again the WebApp feature that hosts the webpart, on central administration?
If it's not working, try to change the scope of you feature to "site collection" instead of "web application"
now i try retracting then re-deploying the farm solution again but still it will work on the old site collection only.
Now seems i am a bit confused as i do not have much knowledge in developing solution. now the solution i deployed is mainly for fixing Redirect problem in SharePoint managed metadata navigation, the OnInit method is as follow:-
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
var request = HttpContext.Current.Request;
var response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(request.QueryString["TreeField"])
&& !String.IsNullOrEmpty(request.QueryString["TreeValue"]))
response.Redirect(String.Format("{0}?TreeField={1}&TreeValue={2}",
SPContext.Current.ListItem.ParentList.DefaultViewUrl,
request.QueryString["TreeField"],
request.QueryString["TreeValue"]));
else if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(request.QueryString["TreeField"]))
response.Redirect(String.Format("{0}?TreeField={1}",
SPContext.Current.ListItem.ParentList.DefaultViewUrl,
request.QueryString["TreeField"]));
base.OnInit(e);
and the solution have the following settings inside the visual studio , where the Site URL refers to my development machine URL . but this did not cause any problem inside the live serve old site collection:-
and when i deploy the farm isolation i did the following steps :-
- I copy the wsp from the visual studio project.
- Then i run the following command inside the Live server "stsadm -o addsolution –filename [c:....]\WikiKnowledgeBaseRedirect.wsp"
- Inside the live server i went to "central administration>>system settings>> Manage farm solutions>>click on WikiKnowledgeBaseRedirect>>click on deploy solution >>select the web application from the “Deploy To?" drop
down".
now as i mentioned before the wsp worked well inside my old site collection, although the site URL refers to the test server site collection (not sure if this was overridden when I deployed the solution to live server). but inside the new site collection
i can not find this solution inside the "site setting>>site collection features" nor inside the "site settings>>web designer gallery>> web part"? can u advice based on the above ?

After downloading the update I can't get the new photos app to appear in my photo browser when trying to add a photo in excel.

After I downloaded the new update the new photo app will not appear in my photo browser list when I try to insert a picture in my excel document. How can I add the new photo app to my browser list?

After the latest update to IPhoto 9.12 my pictures folder has changed to a package... How can I change Pictures back to a folder instead of a package?
If Preview and Mail’s media browser don’t work, Gary, can you export all the pictures from the new iPhoto package back to folders and use an earlier copy of iPhoto such as 8.1.2?
I have both versions on my system so it may be the Mail and Preview media browsers are not accessing the new iPhoto package. I thought they were the new version but maybe not; I see a single iPhoto Library icon and when I control-click on it it offers to show the package contents...

I can't find the image object menu item when trying to add an image placeholder in dreamweaver cs6

I am new to dreamweaver, and am walking through some tutorials. I can't seem to find the image object menu item to place a image placeholder on my page. Any suggestions? Do I have a setting that is currently hiding its visibility? Thanks (I am currently working with dreamweaver cs6)

They removed it in the new Cloud version of DW CS6.

Why do I not have the option (the choose file option is grayed out) to upload pictures to more than a few places I have tried

I am having a problem uploading photos to basically every place but Facebook. I have contacted these sites and they give instruction on how to do it but the "choose file" button is grayed out on some, OR it says, "if your device doesn't have the capability to upload send your pictures to us. I am assuming u can't upload pictures with iPad 2? Or is it just me.....more than one site doing this, is there a setting somewhere?
Thanks :)

I can't find an app, but was also wondering is there a third party service like photobucket that would work on the ones that don't have an app?

Fatal error when trying to add derived table

Hello,
I'm new at desiging a universe. I get the following a fatal error when trying to add a derived table to my universe:
1 processor x Family 15 Model 0 Stepping 0
Windows 2000 Workstation v5.1 build 2600 (S)
Physical Total/Avail: 2.097.151 Kb / 2.004.940 Kb
Temp directory C:\DOCUME1\xxxxxx\LOCALS1\Temp\ (1 Kb available)
'Unknown' video card
1280 x 768 in true color
(doesn't make sense to me)
I use an ODBC connection that connects to a MySQL database. When I test the connection it's fine.
I am trying to add a derived table because it seems that my universe cannot produce LEFT OUTER JOINS. I read somewhere that I should set my ansi92 parameter to YES instead of NO. But, everytime I re-open my universe, it sets itself automatically to NO again.
My utlimate goal is :
For example, list ALL the people, left join my table to their websites, but return ALL the people, even if they don't have a website.
I dont' understand, my join should be simple enough.
Anybody knows what could be causing all these restrictions ?
Thanks for you help.

Hi Sose,
In BusinessObjects (Universe) Designer, the outer join option in a join is not available and is dimmed when using a Generic ODBC connection.
Try Following Solutions:
Solution : 1
When using an ODBC connection the odbc.prm must be modified on the machine where BusinessObjects Designer is used.
Use the following steps to modify odbc.prm:
1. Locate odbc.prm in the following folder:
\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 11\win32_x86\dataAccess\Connection Server\odbc
2. Open odbc.prm in a text editor and modify the parameter 'EXT_JOIN' so its value is 'YES' instead of 'NO'.The outer join option is now available in BusinessObjects Designer.
If the outer join option is still not available after following the steps above. open odbc.prm in a text editor and modify the parameter OUTERJOINS_GENERATION. Change its value from 'NO' to either 'ANSI92' or 'ODBC'.
Solution : 2
This can occur when user is using a non-database specific middleware such as generic ODBC. Generic ODBC allows creating a successful connection and universe, however will not allow the Outer Join option.
The syntax for outer joins is specific to each database and the Generic ODBC driver only lets you access standard common features of all ODBC data sources.
Ensure that you are using the database specific middleware to create the connection.
I Hope this Helpsu2026.
Thanksu2026.

After choosing a jpg for upload, the "Upload File" button on the organization's receiving site of does not respond. The second problem: it's impossible to highlight more that one file at a time.

Clicking the first file, holding down shift and clicking the last file doesn't work. I've tried all manner of command, control, shift combos without success. This one-at-a-time attachment problem also happens in web mail. Are these two issues related? Thanks for non-techie solutions for both issues. I have Safari 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) and Leopard.

Thanks for your response. I do have javascript turned on (not java). To answer your question,
I was trying to upload 3 jpgs to the submissions page of a visual arts website. I could only highlight one jpg at a time in the "Choose File" option, and then the "Upload File" button of the submissions page would not respond.
It's an ongoing problem with this site (I'm the only one with this issue and there are a lot of submissions). I have to send the images as email attachements to the administrator of the site. When doing this via webmail, I still the one attachment at a time problem, but the images get to the administrator. Thanks for helping.

Why does FF save files to desktop, when I have "downloads" checked in options? This is a new issue with the latest version 3.6.3 Windows XP Thanks.

Why does FF save files to desktop, when I have "downloads" checked in options? This is a new issue with the latest version 3.6.3 . Using Windows XP Driving me nuttier! Thanks.
(Is is that MicroNetFrame Asst thing?)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I installed latest version

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your help.
It was just a hunch that MircoNetFrame was causing the problem. I disabled it as you suggested, and I still have the problem.
I just changed under Tools>Options> General - had checked "ask me every time" under downloads, so instead of asking me, FF saved the download to I know not where. It no longer saves it to the desktop, leaving a duplicate in "my documents".
In windows, I have found unless one knows the entire name of the document, one can never find anything. It isn't listed under recent ''''''__. I can't recall the nomenclature, but the
capability is ridiculous. So, I don't know where that file I just downloaded is!
I downloaded a PDF file, but this happens with all DL's. It was so easy to have them all stacked in one place and I could recall
what I had and when I downloaded it easily.
Do you have any other suggestions other that going back to the old version of FF, which I would rather not do?
Thanks again for your time, it is very considerate to help a complete stranger, I must say. Sounds like something I might do! Cheers!

Why is "Choose File" greyed out when using Safari on an iPad?

I'm an Apple newbie, being in the PC World for a long time and have just got an iPad.
I use a number of websites which I upload content to by way of word docs, pdfs, presentations etc. Usually Safari on a PC or MAC has a "choose file" button where the file is selected for upload, however on my iPad this is greyed out...?
I have both transferred docs and presentations to the iPad via iTunes and created them on the iPad using Pages and Keynote but still the button is greyed out.
I hope it is something I am doing wrong or an incorrect setting rather than a "feature" of iPads.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Can you give an example? The app GoodReader has a function where you enter a URL and it will download the item. A lot of times in safari when you touch a download it will give you an option to copy the address. That copies it to the clipboard when you can then paste it in the GoodReader app.
