After syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable

after syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable?

If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to drag and drop tracks on to the iPhone and the music will be grayed out.
You'll have to Manually Manage the music.
Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
If you have iTunes 7 or later*, follow these instructions:
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
Click Apply.
Even when you have enabled manual management, you can still sync some content automatically. Select any content tab, such as Video, to enable automatic syncing for that type of content.

HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI. I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud. I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown.
I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

Why are menus grayed-out in trial version? how can I use the effects then?

why are menus grayed-out in trial version? how can I use the effects then?

Every piece of software has a learning curve, and its own terminology. After Effects is a complex professional tool, used by home enthusiasts right through to feature film makers.
There's plenty of very user friendly video editing software that will do the tasks you've mentioned easily. Might I suggest Adobe Premiere Elements.
For the record, you can't apply an effect to anything in After Effects until you have selected a target layer in the timeline. This functionality is true of any video editing or compositing software I can think of,

Why are songs greyed out in my itunes

Why are songs greyed out on iTunes? The songs will play within iTunes, but will not sync with my iPod Classic 160G. How do I correct this situation?

Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

Why are commands "grayed out" on edit tab on Elements 9?

Why are commands "grayed out" (not available) on the edit tab on Elements 9?

It’s often awaiting a user action e.g. opening a photo in the main Editor space or making a selection or a new layer or flattening an image or changing bit depth etc.

So, I have had the Ipod 4th generation for about a year now, and I have never had any trouble adding music onto my ipod until this latest version of itunes came out. Now, I cannot add any more music onto my ipod! I Have grayed out songs that I can't play

So, I have had an Ipod touch (fourth generation) for a little less than a year now, and I have never had any problems with it until the latest version of itunes came out. Now, my ipod never can sync (I left it up for an hour before and it only got to step 2 out of 7), and I can't add any more music to my ipod! To make it worse, about 100 songs that I had deleted off my ipod, but could still be found in my itunes library, appeared again on my ipod! But, they are grayed out and I can't listen to them so they just take up space.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

All iTunes songs grayed out and won't sync to phone

Hello,
I have over 9000 songs in my iTunes library. My iTunes library is stored locally on my iMac. The vast majority of songs were imported from CD's I own. If in iTunes I make the selection to sync the entire library to my phone, iTunes reports that there are about only 250 songs total. If I select "Sync only checked songs" and choose a few songs or albums, the number of songs to sync stays at zero. iTunes version 12.1.0.50.
When viewing my iTunes library I noticed that just about all of my song titles are gray. If I click on a song in iTunes it plays no problem. However I can't sync anything over to my phone anymore.
If I go to the library location on my HDD all of the music files are there as they should be.
I appreciate any suggestion - I've been trying to fix this for some time now and have had no success.
Regards.
NM

I have finally solved this issue. Here is the solution:
1. Open iTunes
2. Select Music
3. In the upper right hand corner select Albums.
4. Under "All Albums" highlight the first album, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, hold down the shift key and select the last album.
5. All albums should now be selected.
6. Place the cursor over one of the albums. Press with 2 fingers on the trackpad to bring up the menu.
7. Select "Check All"
8. Congratulations - no more grayed out songs and they will sync now.
9. Go into your iPhone sync and check the songs you want to transfer and click the sync button.
I hope this helps you to resolve your issue.

Can someone tell me why IE is erroring out and not FF?

Ok..this is driving me batty...
This code works just fine in FF 2.0, but not IE6:
function addFavorite(owner,faveUser){
var empRow =
dsNames.findRowsWithColumnValues({"employee":faveUser},true);
if (empRow == ""){
alert('User not found');
return false;
}else{
var faveUserID = empRow.@username;
I have the above function called when I click an Add button
on an Autosuggest form. Works flawlessly in Firefox. But I get a
scripting error with IE. "Error: conditional compilation turned
off".
And the other thing is, this function gets executed when the
page loads. It should only get executed when I click the Add
button. Anyone have a clue? I'm totally lost.... :(
Thanks!
Chris

That cured my problems Kinblas! muchos gracias....now I have
another problem..
I'll post it in another message...
but can you explain why .@username works in FF and not in IE
but ["@username"] works in both?

Why are songs greyed-out in my iPhone's sync queue?

I fired up iTunes for the first time on a new computer and plugged-in a 2 week-old iPhone 4s to sync about 250 or so songs that were pre-existing on the computer.
The music is not purchased through iTunes; merely ripped from CDs ages ago. It's music that existed on my prior iPhone (4) with no problems.
Now, the music won't sync to my new iPhone. It shows up in iTunes, on the device's song list - but greyed-out. It appears to be in queue to transfer, but it won't sync. I have purchased music on my phone that I downloaded via wifi that works fine...
Any ideas? This is intensely frustrating.

I forgot to mention that when I look at the playlist that has been tranferred to the iPhone all the ones that won't play and are greyed out have a sync symbol next to the check mark.

Why are my Pictures distorted and not fully filled with color?

FrauSherrie
SG asked rsayen06 several important questions to get at the core of that user's Premiere Elements issues. So far I do not see any answers to the questions. An the answers will be in those details. Although you have offered your project settings and saying that you have the same problem, they are but a small part of the troubleshooting equation.
1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
2. You say you are putting pictures and music on the Timeline? How many pictures and what are their pixel dimensions? What type of music, what compression and file extension? What is the total duration of the Timeline content?
3. When you playback the Timeline content in the Edit Mode Monitor are you looking at the rendered or unrender Timeline?
4. When you say that you see distortion in the pictures...how are they distorted...
a. from the point of view of pixel aspect ratio, flicker, lines, other?
b. What do your computer resources look like in the way of installed and available RAM and free hard drive space? Are you getting any error messages associated with any of the project difficulties that you are encountering?
c. When you get to the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate?
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.

After installing the newest Firefox update my "back" button is grayed out and doesn't work

Actually, I have quite a few problems with the new version of Firefox. My windows and tabs from previous session don't open, even though I have that checked in Options; have had Firefox crash and freeze much more often; and more.
I really hate this new version and wish Firefox would stop "fixing" something that wasn't broken, or at least wait a little longer before issuing "upgrades" until more bugs get worked out.
If it' not obvious, I HATE this new Firefox--enough that I might go back to IE, which I swore years ago never to do.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why are my photos below and not to the right?

I have a layout problem and it's driving me nuts. The code I have for a page is a hodgepodge of sorts and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get two pictures to be on the right hand side.
This is what I want it to look like:
But all I can get it to look like is this:
The lightbox photos are below the form. Not to the right of the form as I want them to be. I'd be very grateful of any advice the community can offer. I'm tech savvy; I'm a genius the apple store. But I haven't worked in Dreamweaver before and this is, apparently, pushing the limits of what I can do. The site is from a template so there is a great deal of superfluous code.
Thanks in advance.
James.

Why are files grayed out in finder on MacBook ?

I am trying to upload a file (receipt pdf to insurance website) and the file is grayed out when I browse to select it from the website and it won't let me select it. When I look at in Finder it is there not grayed out. When I am on the website most of my files are grayed out. I am new to the Mac world. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Do you have the finder option to show all File Extension turned on? Could be the file you are selecting is not a PDF file? Or the file you need to Upload to the website page has to be in some other format than PDF. Like a Text file.
In most cases any file that is not in the correct format for a program you are using, or as in your case uplaoding to a website, either don't show up or are greyed out making them NON selectable.
