Why is the column browser greyed out when viewing iPod music?

Hello,
I can not display the "column browser" for my iPod Touch, like I can for my iTunes Music Library (iTunes for Windows)
To confirm we're on the same page: the column browser is the specific display/view with "Artists" and "Albums" filters (and optionally 'Genres" , "Composers" and a few other not-so-useful options) in Columns at the top of the screen: selecting different combinations allows you to easily filter the "results" panel below, which displays all the individual songs that match those filters.
I have seen other questions on how to display the column browser, which relate more to the iTunes Library Music, opposed to the iPod touch music. (FYI the fix for the Library is to click "songs" and then the option for column browsing is available in "View/Column Browser/Show Column Browser")
If i display the sidebar, and select 'Music' under my iPod Touch, it just displays ALL songs. The option for "show column browser" is greyed out and not selectable. If i hige the sidebar, and click "Music" in the top left column under the name of my iPod, i get the same view. If i click "Music" from the big centered bar at the top of iTunes (but below the standard File/Edit menubar) this just shows my Sync options...
So question is: How do I display the column browser for my iPod music?
If i can't, question is: Why did you hide this feature and can you please bring it back?
And a general comment: Please let the brilliant Jony Ive loose on the iTunes design ASAP: it desperately needs a designer's eye to make this interface more intuitive. There are about 5 incongruous button/menu themes utilised at different places, and none of them are particularly well thought out. I'm a student of the school of thought where you can (if needed) utilise a few different interface design styles on one application to suit different users and different scenarious: but they need a talented designer to harmonise. The current iTunes is like years of changes piled on top of each other with no clear direction. Not an enjoyable experience!

Hello,
All outputs from the SCXI module are measured in differential mode. You can still mix differential and single ended measurements (if you use the remaining channels of your daq board).
The easiest way to mix modes is with virtual channels. All SCXI analog input channels will be differential, while you can make other virtual channels differential or single ended. If you don't want to use virtual channels, you can use AI Hardware Config in LabVIEW to change the mode.
Hope this helps. Regards,

Why is the input mode greyed out when I try to create a virtual channel for my 1102?

I have set up a virtual channel for my SCXI-1102, and the input mode is greyed out with it set to "differential". I have already skimmed this forum for answers, and I have checked to verify that the mode slot under the AI tab for my MIO-E series card is set to nonreferenced single-ended mode. I then created a virtual channel with the device slot under the hardware column set to Dev1_SC1_MD1CXI-1102. At this point, as already stated, the input mode goes grey while set to differential. What's going on?

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.

Why is my column browser greyed/grayed out in iTunes 11??

Since upgrading to iTunes 11 I haven't been able to get the column browser back to how I had it previously. I want to have a genre column and an artist column, but the column browser options are greyed out for me.
Any tips?

OK, I'm not ashamed to back down from my initial shock and awe about the new iTunes. I also discovered the simple fix for column browsing that thomaselsted eloquently describes, and I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on the rest, as it has often proved to be true that climbing up the learning curve on a new piece of software or hardware can be rewarding.
However, Apple please note:
To column browse albums, etc. requires extra steps/clicks, because you have to get out of album view, for instance, go to songs view, turn on columns view, and take it from there. Not good.
When playing radio stations. the mini viewer does not show the current song.
Getting in and out of mini viewer is now also a multi-step process.
Those sorts of things need to be fixed, because adding features should subtract needed user involvement, not add to it!
Reserving my final judgement, which I am sure puts Apple into a stark terror mode.

Newbie question: Why is "learn sound model" greyed out when trying to remove background sounds in a file using the Spectral Frequency display?

I am trying to remove background sounds in a file using the Spectral Frequency display. The first edit on a new file, this process works fine:
1. use brush to cover sound
2. right click, learn sound model
3. effects/noise-reduction-restoration/Sound Remover
The next time I try to remove another sound in the file, "learn sound model" is greyed out. I have to close the file and reopen to be able to make another edit. What on earth is going on? Can it only learn one sound model or something?
I'm a newbie, so thanks in advance for your advice!

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Why are my iPod's contents all greyed out when viewed from iTunes?

I have a 5th gen iPod nano, with software version 1.0.2
I have sync'd the iPod with the content I have in iTunes. Now when I try to look at any of the content on the iPod via iTunes (by connecting the docking cable, and clicking on the iPod under "DEVICES"), everything is greyed out. I can't play any of the music or modify any of the information, like volume adjustment or equalizer presets.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it? I already tried restoring the iPod and re-syncing everything. It worked for awhile and then the same thing happened.

The person has to have an apple device and also has to be registered with iMessage, otherwise of you try to message them their name will turn red with a ! Next to the name saying they are not a registered use of iMessage.
If your clicking on the name and typing in the box that pops up, you may be typing in the "subject" area. The iMessage has two sections to type in, the subject and content are. The bottom portion is the content area so if you have a message already started then use this area.
The "subject" portion can be turned off also in Settings, messages
It gives the option to turn off the subject portion here
