Some of my folders are greyed out . They are fully functional but just so hard to read. Sometime after a second or 2 they will "light up" or if i click on one folder the rest will light up.You can see the folders on the right side are faded out ..If I wait they will eventually "light up" of I click one one they all become clear..It's very annoying ..Any help would be appreciated. This is a brand new iMac
iMac 27″, 11.1
Yea' that delay happens because the external drive spins down and then takes a few seconds to spin back up when you access the data on it.
Depending on the external drive(s), it might help if you go to Apple > System Preferences > Energy Saver and uncheck "Put hard dicks to sleep hen possible"

Where are those files stored?
It looks like they are on an external drive or server which could explain a slight delay when accessing them.
You likely need to change their permissions. If you don't know how please click https://www.macinstruct.com/node/415 or there are numerous other articles that explain how.
Those particular files are on an external drive . Not sure it happens on local files now that I think of it . Ill look at the link to change permissions and see what I learn.Many Thanks
Thanks , I'll try that ..Ill assume you meant disks
Oops' sorry for the typos, that should read > uncheck "Put hard disks to sleep when possible"
Got a much needed laugh out of it ..Thank again ..So far so good
You're welcome.
