Mail of the El Capitan grayed out after Migration Wizard menus

The arrival of my new MacBook Pro (OS 10.11.5) I used the Migration Assistant (MA) to import the data from my old MacBook (OS 10.6). MY did not have identical usernames on both devices, so a new user has been created for the migration.

After migration, everything seems to work very well in most mail (and some obsolete applications).

Problem: some menu of messaging options are grayed out on and/or non-functional. Strange thing is that Mail works fine in the other user account, so I guess that's a conflict somewhere, sometimes, preferences will not open. New emails correctly, they appear in notifications and can be opened individually, but I can't open the message viewer.

Grey of menu items:

  

What I tried without success:

-delete all e-mail accounts and add them manually

-remove mail preferences

-Remove user library: containers, mail, mail preferences folder

-disable the user fonts

-Disable items in user login

Any suggestions much appreciated troubleshooting.

Problems like this are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have the wrong permissions. This procedure will check for these files. It makes no changes and is therefore not, in itself, a solution.

First, empty the trash, if possible.

Triple-click any where in the line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,sunlnk,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy

Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. The command may take a significant amount of time to run.

Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) to appear.

The output of the command will be a number. It is automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste in a response.

The Terminal window does not display the output. Please do not copy from there.

  • Why some elements of the taskbar are grayed out?

    original title: Vista 64 bit Home Premium got updated yesterday. Why some elements of the taskbar are grayed out?

    Hello.

    Yesterday, I downloaded the updates from Microsoft Update. I use Vista 64 bit Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop.

    I don't see the network icon in the taskbar.

    When I right click on the taskbar, go to properties, Notification area tab: I see that Volume, network and power are grayed out. I can't select them. The only I can change is the clock to turn on or off.

    Is there something I can do? No one else has used the laptop. Thank you.

    It works again. Sometimes this happens and I don't know why.

    I used my computer. I turned it off and now the missing things are back.

    Thanks for the info, I didn't have to do it well.

  • Configure the network management grayed out in DCUI

    Configure the network management grayed out in DCUI and some other options are grayed out and network management IP is 0.0.0.0

    Seems that you have not any management VMkernel port or they may have been removed. You may need to check the same.

    Run esxcli list of network ip interface to check if there is no VMKernels.

    It does not generate re no output if NO vmkernel port is available.

    If no. VMkernel ports then follow the below to re-create the management VMkernel port group.

    esxcli network ip interface add-i = vmk0 Pei = "network management - M = 'MAC address' ' to create a VMKernel for management." Make sure the right to MAC address of the uplink is mentioned.

    And make sure that it is a unique vmk, does not correspond to a vmk existing (vmk0, vmk1, vmk2).

    Once the Port is created, you should be able to configure networking on the DCUI

    Hope it will be useful.

  • Page Forward and Reverse buttons do not work and are "grayed out" after upgrading to, as it is the elements of main Menu like file-Edit-view etc...

    After the upgrade to Firefox 3.6.12 features appear to be intact. Then, after a few days he lost the ability "page forward" or "back" and are "grayed out". In addition, the elements of main menu like File, Edit, View, history, Favorites, tools, and assistance are also grayed out and non-functional.

    In addition, the "search engine" does not search, search the Web should be made since then in the URL window instead, for some reason any crazy. If the URL window is empty when I enter a search in the search window, the following text appears in the URL window, "bookmarks and search history", which makes no sense.

    In the past, I've noticed similar complaints in this Forum, but I have not seen any resolution posted these questions. Is there a solution?

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: a new profile

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins»

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Why songs aren't grayed out after payment of the subscription?

    last week, I was able to perfectly good music all songs were available, now today after membership renewal, a lot of songs I had played only yesterday are now grayed out, and all I get is a message of THIS SONG is CAN NOT BE PLAYED. What is going on?

    Probably a temporary problem with Apple's music servers. You can try the force the application to quit music on your iPhone (double clicking the HOME button and sliding upward on music app), then by restarting it and see if that clears up the issue.

    Are you sure that the members (I assume you're talking about the free trial to a paid subscription) crossed and that it is enabled?

  • How can I import from Outlook 2007 when the option is grayed out?

    I'm moving from Outlook 2007 to Thunderbird. All is well until now, but I need to import my old mails from Outlook. When I go to tools > import > Mail I get options for Eudora, Outlook, and Outlook Express. Eudora and Outlook options are grayed out. The option for Outlook Express is available, but who isn't even an option for me, since I am on Windows 7.

    I've read a few articles, and they point out that you must always have Outlook installed and configured as the default e-mail client. I made sure Outlook is set as the default mail client, but the import option is still grayed out. I tried restarting both Outlook and Thunderbird. I also tried the import with Outlook open and closed.

  • Why the titles of the songs are grayed out?

    This question is asked many times in the forum, but nothing of the apply to my situation. I downloaded many songs from itunes and they appear as grayed out reading lists.  In the case of an album, a song will not play after one after another.  Each must be selected separately.  It is also not as much information as the track number and no check box.

    In other cases, the songs normally play on shuffle.

    Perhaps a related problem, but when I sync the phone a lot of songs is always grayed out with download of cloud symbol.  Why they are not copied to the phone?

    (I came to hate itunes.  It is BUG-GY, and these are just more examples.)

    Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  • The icon is grayed out SAVE and SAVE AS option does not work in my Acrobat Adobe Reader ms

    The record command is grayed out when I open a .pdf document in the Acrobat Reader from Adobe viewer. I used to "save under" once opened, but now this command does not work properly, I think it happened after an updated operating system (windows 10), so I thought it was related to her, but I can tell...

  • File navigation on OS x using openDlg() - why all the folders are grayed out?

    I am configuring a file and folder browsing dialog that works for the two Win/OSX and with filters to narrow the search to specific file types dialog box. I received a lot of help from another user on the forum (Matias Kiviniemi) in order to obtain the function of filter working - but now I have another problem: a little strange.

    When you browse the files under OSX, all the folders are greyed out!error.jpeg

    You can always navigate (somewhat) via the Favorites list and directory tree button at the top in the Center, but actually clicking in the records does not at all.

    I also tried saveDlg() to browse the files, but I have exactly the same problem with greyed out records. SaveDlg() is not the second parameter (the filter function) to restrict the dialogue to a specific file type - which is something that I need.

    // Utility functions for checking if the OS is Win/OSX
    function isWindows(){
        return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Windows") >= 0
    }
    function isMac(){
        return app.systemInformation.indexOf("Operating System: Mac") >= 0
    }
    
    
    // All params below are strings
    function promptFile(dialogMessage, dialogType, extFilter, oldPath){
    // Description: Opens up a file or older dialog window for browsing (Win/OSX)
    // Returns: Absolute path (string) to the file or folder that was picked by the user
    
    
        // File
        if (dialogType == "file"){
    
    
            // Create filter function for the File.saveDlg -function
            var filter = null
            if (isMac()){ // OSX
                if (extFilter){
                    var filter_regex = new RegExp("[^\.]*\."+extFilter+"$")
                    filter = function (file_entry){
                        return filter_regex.test(file_entry.name)
                    }
                }else{
                    filter = function(){ return true } // All and any file(s)
                }
            }else if (isWindows()){ // Win
                if (extFilter){
                    filter = extFilter.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + extFilter.slice(1)+"-files:*."+extFilter
                }else{
                    filter = "All files:*.*" // All and any file(s)
                }
            }else{
                filter = null
            }
    
    
            // Create file dialog
            var path = new File(oldPath);
            // var dialog = path.saveDlg(dialogMessage, filter); // Same kind of error with saveDlg
            var dialog = path.openDlg(dialogMessage, filter, false);
    
    
        // Folder
        }else if(dialogType == "folder"){
            alert("folder diag:\n" + oldPath);
    
    
            // Create folder dialog
            var path = new Folder(oldPath);
            var dialog = path.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
            while (dialog.alias){
                dialog = dialog.resolve.selectDlg(dialogMessage);
            }
        }
    
    
        if (dialog){
            return dialog.fsName.replace(/\\/g, "/") // Back to Front slashes
        }
    }
    

    I'll cross post since my last response to the other crossed the moderation and released after you posted this (and it is relevant for this topic)

    There seems to be backup dialog boxes _SEVERAL_ versions

    • file_entry.saveDlg (): file_entry content is the default value, but do not know if he has locked her
    • File.saveDialog (): same as file_entry.saveDlg, but none value of screening. Maybe it is not locked to original dir
    • folder_entry.saveDlg (): looks identical to file_entry.saveDlg, do not know if there is a difference.
    • Folder.selectDialog: seems more versatile, "simply to choose a file.

    You probably just do some trial and error to choose one that fits, what are the rules everyone has. So far I think Mac has no option for "create a new file, but only this extension." Extension filter only seems to apply to existing opening and win (although even there, he hides just, you can actually set different extension in her typing).

    Confusion between the part which is the "grayed out of all cases" it would imply in fact wants the filter even though the docs say it is not. I.e. you'd need to do a filtering function that accepts two folders or files with right like below (not tested)

    filter = function (fileSystemEntry) {}

    If {(fileSystemEntry instanceof file)

    Returns true

    } else {}

    return filter_regex.test (fileSystemEntry.name)

    }

    }
