Syncing "selected groups" of contacts via iTunes to iPad grayed out

I'm trying to sync only selected groups of contacts and selected calendars to my iPad 2 (iOS 8.1.2) from my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.10.1 Yosemite). I am syncing over wifi, but NOT over iCloud. However, when I go into iTunes, go to "Info", and try to select sync "Selected Groups" under Contacts or "Selected Calendars" under Calendars, both of these options are grayed out. Why??

I've had this issue myself and it was annoying. The only way I could get it to work again was Reset my iPad and start it as new.  Full discussion here:
iTunes shows deleted videos/songs etc on iPad when connected
I think you'll find the screenshots match what you see pretty much perfectly.
Regards,
Steve

  • My iPad 2 wont sync selected events from iPhoto via iTunes

    I have never had any issues with this until recently. My iPhoto library is too big and I didn't want all my photos on my iPad so I started using the Sync Photos from: iPhoto and checked the Selected albums, events and faces option. I have only selected from the 'events' window. All of them sync fine except for two events. One event has 376 photos in it but will only sync 6 that I duplicated and cropped. I have since deleted the duplicated photos and now the entire event wont sync. The other event has 435 photos in it but will only sync 16. I wondered if it was the formatting as a lot of them are 'raw' quality, but after going through other events that doesn't seem to be the case. I have plenty of room on my iPad so that is not the issues, I have also tried deleting all photos from my iPad and re-syncing everything, or just those two events, neither of which worked. I have read that you should delete the iPod Photo Cache, which I did but it didn't contain any photos anyway, is that because I tell it to sync straight from iPhoto and not from the 'choose folder' option?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Solution from riderworks on another thread worked. thanks a lot!

  • An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

    I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

    Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

    I didn,t try to synchronize the contacts, because it may fail.
    Has any one an idea what could be the reasson for thid synchronize problems.

  • HT4113 My Ipad has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer only set up by my apple id, when it asked to connect to itunes i turned it off, when turning it on again it asked me for a passcode. I never set up a pascode, now I am locked

    I have just bought a new IPAD. It has never been synced with a computer or via itunes on a computer, I tried to set it up using my APPLE ID and mobile number, it prompted me to connect to ITUNES. Unsure of what to do next, I closed it and took it to work. When I opened it one hour later it prompted me for the passcode. I never set up a passcode. I tried various combinations (my husband iphone, birthdates, kids passcodes etc) to see if somehow it had linked itself to their passcode. I called the shop I bought it from and was advised it would cost me 70 dollars to have it reset. I feel completely devastated that I haven't even been able to use the IPAD and I am already stuck. Can anyone offer some solid advice?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

  • How can I get the iPad to sync Outlook 2010 in Parallels via iTunes?

    Hi
    I want to be able to sync my iPad with both iCal on the iMac and Outlook 2010 in Microsoft Office 2010, installed in Parallels 7.  What happens is that when I connect the iPad to the iMac (USB) it syncs directly with iCal via iTunes.  How can I get the iPad to sync Outlook 2010 in Parallels via iTunes as well?  Do I have to download and install another copy of iTunes in Windows 7 in Parallels?
    Appreciate your help.
    Kind regards
    Alani

    Don't think that's possible as iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time.
    Is there a specific reason you're using Outlook?

  • ICal mysteriously no longer syncs with my iPhone 3gs via iTunes sync

    My iCal mysteriously no longer syncs with my iPhone 3gs via iTunes sync. It worked great until about a month ago. I've made over 300 Calendar changes to my iPhone 3gs' Calendar, but not a single item has synced back to my iCal on my iMac, when I sync my iTunes (which I do almost daily). In addition, I've created some items on my iCal, as a test, and none of them sync onto my iPhone 3gs.
    What gives? Ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks for your help!

    Well, I was able to manually sync my iPhone to my iCal one time, but haven't been able to get it to sync Calendar info since then. It was moderately successful, so I could export an iCal backup file. However, I ended up with about 200 MORE duplicate items on my iPhone, and what's weird is that many of these duplicates do NOT have any "edit" functionality! So I a, stuck with them being on the day they are at right now. Grrrrrr

  • HT4191 i cant sync my windows seven contacts with itune because of the "over the air option cant be changed" help me

    i cant sync my windows seven contacts with itune because of the "over the air option cant be changed" help me

    This sounds like you configured the phone to sync contacts with iCloud or with an MS Exchange email account. If you want to sync directly with your computer you will need to disable the over the air sync settings on the iPhone.

  • I got a new iPhone 5 and my itunes music will not sync properly. it will show up on the phone but it is light gray wording and they are not selected only a few songs work. The grayed out music just takes up space. Someone please help.

    My itunes music is grayed out and unplayable on my new iphone 5. only a few songs work and the rest just take up space. They will play correctly in my itunes on the computer but not the phone. Please help.

    I am so relieved to hear that I am not the only one experiencing this! However, I am sorry to hear you are going through this as well. Lucky for me I am upgrading to a 5s which will be sent to me on Wednesday. I did stumble upon an article with tips on how to downgrade back to iOS 7, but I am EXTREMELY apprehensive about doing that myself. Here's the article link if you want to give it a go:

  • 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.

  • "Export audio of selected range markers to separate files" icon is grayed out in Markers window. Tracks show start times but no end times, yet duration is calculated.

    I have one big wav file of segued tracks as a mixdown and inserted CD markers where I want marked tracks. "Export audio of selected range markers to separate files" icon is grayed out in Markers window. Tracks show start times but no end times, yet duration is calculated. Why can't I export these marked portions as separate files?

    the markers durations need to be configured, there is an easy way to do this using your existing markers.  click the start time of marker 2, this should change to edit mode to type in a new number, just copy the numbers cmd/ctrl+c. then click the end time of marker 1 and paste, cmd/ctrl+v.  now repeat for the rest of the markers, and on the last one enter a value for the end time or click and drag on the duration to manually extend it. once all the markers have a duration, the button should be active to export.

  • Sync Google Contacts via iTunes not working

    Hi
    Just got a new Macbook with Yosemite and am syncing my Google Mail, Calendar, Contacts with the Macbook without difficulty,  I have disabled iCloud syncing for Mail, Calendar, and Contacts. 
    Now, I want to get Google Contacts set up on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) as a stop gap before getting a new iPhone down the line.  However, I can't find a reliable way of getting my Google Contacts on to the iPhone 3G.
    Exchange Sync and CardDAV do not work.  I don't mind syncing via iTunes but I can't set this up either.  Despite telling iTunes to sync 'All Contacts' it won't sync those from my Google account.  Only contacts in 'On My Mac' group sync across, but I don't want to manually keep track of and copy new Google contacts into this group just to sync.
    Why won't iTunes sync the Google contacts group - currently it is the only group in my OS X Contacts.
    I have reset sync and reinitialised the iPhone to factory image - neither works.
    Any advice appreciated.
