The apps on my iPhone 6 are grayed out and say "Waiting-" when i click on them.
I just upgraded to an iPhone 6. I backed up all my apps from my old iPhone 4 to my iTunes on my computer (MacBookPro). I then plugged in the new iPhone 6 and did a restore using the files from my old iPhone.
Everything transferred over perfectly but now, about half the apps I purchased on my old phone are grayed out. When I click on them they say "Waiting…" but nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I am having the same problem. I have many dark icons that say waiting. I can't do anything with them. I can't even delete them because they do not get the little x on the upper right corner like the light apps get. I do not know what to do. If I call Apple they will charge me for support as my phone is over a year old.

Trying to update my apps...all apps are greyed out and say waiting.
..all apps are greyed out and say waiting. This has been going on for a day. I have reset my setting turned off my iPad and no changes
Maybe one of these suggestions will work. Ignore any that you have already tried.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad. -
Tried to install eBay app two days ago. Still hasn't installed, is grayed out and says waiting... When I tried to uninstall it shakes, but no X appears. How do I get rid of this app? eBay app was from the App Store.
Try restarting your devise by holding down the power button and the home button. The uninstalled app should disappear after a little while.
Hope this helped -

Songs in the cloud that are not downloaed are grayed out and won't allow me to download them
basically any song that has not been downloaded from the cloud is grayed out..how do I restore them...it was fine just the other day
My phone won't allow me to delete them off. I don't know how all these pictues and movies moved onto my phone in the first place.
Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes? Then you may have enabled the syncing of Pictures in iTunes. All iPhoto or Aperture albums and events will appear as albums on your iPhone, if you enabled this. To delete the synced photos you need to sync your iPhone again. You change the sync settings for photos in iTunes in the device’s Photo pane.

Songs after 7.0.6 update are grayed out and will not play
After I updated to iOS 7.0.6, some of my songs on my iPhone are grayed out and have a red circle with a small red square to their right (similar to the blue version in the iTunes store). When I select these songs, they skip over that song, and two more before playing another completely different song. If I try to play the songs by pressing the red circle/square, they just gray out completely (nothing plays). Two hard resets and a restore hasn't fixed the problem.
Does anyone know what might be happening?I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync! -
I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store. They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app. Any suggestions?
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

The To Do List Items in Mail are grayed out. I can't edit or mark them :(
As stated in the title, the To Do items in Mail are all grayed out, I can't edit or mark them complete anymore. In iCal, on the other hand, To Do items are working correctly. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and the To Do items were working fine before, but are not now.
Sorry, I should have explained it more. I had 186 To Do items in the Mail To Do section that were working fine before I installed Snow Leopard (I was able to mark them complete or incomplete, rename, and edit them). After installing Snow Leopard, half of them are grayed out and half of them are working correctly. I am unable to mark the grayed out To Do items complete, or rename or edit them. The To Do items that are grayed out are random, like, it's not all of the complete ones, or all of the ones that are in a month or so.
Here is a screenshot: http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/4743/screenshotgh.png
I know it's not the biggest deal, I just used to use Mail as my To Do thing If you know of a better app for the kinds of To Dos you see in the screenshot, let me know -
I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

How can I activate the Billing Timer icons (Go, Pause, Stop)
in MacFreeLance 3.13? They are "grayed out" and unresponsive. MacXware Support Suite has not provided a solution.Lack of support from that company seems to be a non-uncommon problem. But it's not a problem you will be likely to get help with in the Communities, and definitely not here in the "Using Apple Support Communities" forum which is for questions about the Communities themselves. If MacWare can't or won't help you, you may be stuck, though there was an email address posted in this thread:

Anyone having the same problem?My iPhone 4s its not 6 months old!Try restoring your phone usng DFU mode. Here are steps to get DFU Mode: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. (some turn off iPhone here, I do not) Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iPhone recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes 10-20 seconds of holding the home button. If the iPhone screen is black (blank) the iPhone is in DFU Mode.

I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?
Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document. -

Thanks so much!!!Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Songs on iPod are grayed out and purchases in iTunes are missing
So my mom's having some trouble with iTunes-
When her 7th gen Nano is plugged into iTunes all of the songs on it are grayed out and unplayable. There are no icons or such that suggest that there is a problem.
She has 559 songs on her iPod that she purchased and downloaded with the same Apple ID that she still uses today, however iTunes says that she only purchased 179.
This problem must have started when the computer she uses was wiped and had Windows 7 re-installed, but this shouldn't affect the data associated with her Apple ID?
Is there anyway that the songs on her iPod can be transferred to her library? (after they're somehow ungrayed)
Any little bit of help is appreciatedWith manual transfer you drag the songs from your iTunes to the iPod. That's how manual works and has nothing to do with songs being "check marked".
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
