Help Moving apps to SD Memory?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i where I keep getting memory nearly full messages (I am assuming that it is the Phone memory that is nearly full as there is only 17.45 MB available). The result is that I am not receiving text and emails until I move or delete something in the phone memory. I have installed a new 32 Gb microSD card so that I can move a number of Apps over to it, but when I look at the apps, the button which says 'Move App to SD' is greyed out.

Is there a way to transfer these apps to the SD card? or do I have to uninstall and then re-install?

I had very little success with all this on my Ace, so I rooted it (in fact running out of internal storage was exactly what prompted me to learn about rooting). If you're rooted then life is easy because you can move all your non-system apps essentially completely to the SD card, just leaving a few libraries behind. I have 90 megs free on my Ace and never get memory issues any more.
 
Hi, I hope you resolved the issue, if you had any problems do a search on ebay for S5839 memory fix, there is a guy that provides a solution.
