Why is Refactor... grayed out (disabled) in Xcode?
I'd like to rename a class.

A:
Select the class's symbol in its header file - i.e. the bit just after @interface. Then the refactoring stuff should be enabled.

My class's header file has only @interface, no @class. But selecting the symbol after @interface seems to work.

This has been bothering me for quite some time also. Thanks!

A:
If you are using Objective-C++ (i.e. mix Objective-C with C++ code) then refactoring is disabled in xcode since it does not support refactoring of C++ code.

A:
Refactor might also be disabled if affected files (most likely the file with your class in it) are not saved.

Saving a xib file in Interface Builder re-enabled Refactoring for me, when even relaunching Xcode wasn't helping, thanks!
