All content greyed out on iPad

All of a sudden, all of the content on my iPad is greyed out. This includes music, movies, TV shows and books. Also, the icon for my rentals has appeared when I have no active rentals and this shows all my old rentals, greyed out as well. I tried rebooting the iPad, iTunes and re-synching, but that didn't work. I normally just have the iPad automatically backup to the cloud, but I tried a manual synch the other day and the Apple connector cord is fraying at places, maybe there was an error. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt

Mauualy sync ipod but all contents greyed out. Help!!

I have added items manually (box ticked for that and no auto syncing) but now my ipod touch is full. yet when I click on my ipod in the menu on the left, all the contents are greyed out so I cannot edit anything. I can however edit everything in my itunes library. why is this. I have downloaded music recently but cannot add it as ipod is full. Would appreciate help but not very technical so please please explain in a way I can hopefully understand!!

Hey Lorras,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you aren’t able to backup your iPhone 5c because it isn’t showing up as a device in iTunes. The suggestions in the article below will most likely resolve the issue, use the first article if you have a PC and the second if you have a Mac.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support

It should be the same AppleID and password you use to log in here.
I haven't installed Find my iPhone app on the phone?
Installing the app will simply allow you to locate a different iDevice.
You don’t need to use it to locate the iPhone in your hands. If it’s not in your hands, you cannot use the app on that device...

Wifi greyed out in iPad 2 ios8.1

After updating from ios 7 to ios 8.1, my iPad 2's wifi has been greyed out and cannot seem to turn on. The bottom portion of the wifi button seems to be locked as well. I have attempted to turn off and turn on, reset, reset all settings and even to the point of restoring and restoring back up but to no avail. The problem still persists. Kindly assist.

Hi there xquisite,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for grey Wi-Fi found in the article below.

Itunes greyed out when Ipad connected

Hi
I recently updated my software on my Ipad. Now when I connect to itunes although I can see my ipad in the left hand devices menu I cannot selected any of the options in itues such as music, apps etc. If I tick the Synic box I get the message about synicing all of the music in my itunes folders etc which I do not want to do. I want to manually manage my apps and music like I always do (did) but all those are now greyed out. However, when I connect my Iphone this works fine running on the same up to date software etc. AND when the Ipad is connected to itunes I can select the music from my folders listing on the lefthand bar and manually drag it to the ipad but it does not go in the music folder it just sits at the bottom of the listing, and once disconnected from Itunes I can go into the ipad and the music icon and see and play the music which is in individual folders. Any ideas please.

If you are saying that your photo application opens on your PC (guessing it's a PC) maybe this will help.

When your iPad is connected to your PC with iTunes running, you can set iTunes to launch automatically when the iPad is connected to your computer in the Summary tab of iTunes.

Fix and Fix All buttons greyed out in Analyzed Results List

The Fix and Fix All buttons are greyed out in the Analyzed Results List. This was working preTiger at least. Perhaps after my initial clean install of 10.4.1. Now running 10.4.3. Things I've tried to no avail:
Reading the documentation and "Late Breaking News".
Repaired permissions.
Repaired disk. (found no problems)
Ran Disk Warrior (found no problems)
Trashed SountrackPro prefs file.
Tried several existing and three new Audio File Projects on the internal and an external firewire drive.
Searched for a similar topic in this forum.
TIA for any help, Ken

It works for me.
First you have to select what you want to fix (e.g.
clicks and pops) then press the analyze button to get
a list of things to fix.
Right after the analysis is done, if at least one
thing was found to fix,you should see the "fix all"
button not greyed out, but the "Fix" button will be
greyed out until you actually click on one or more
of the items in the analysis result list.
Are you seeing something different from the behavior
I've described?
My experience and information is that Soundtrack Pro only finds clipped samples. Have you been able to fix them as well?

All Agents Greyed Out or Not Monitored

Hello,
I am running SCOM 2012 R2. All of my clients were re-imaged (Over 500) during the summer. Each image that was created had the SCOM 2012 R2 Agent installed. The images were installed on all of my clients. Now, most of the clients are
listed as greyed out or not monitored. The server has Event Log entries of the following:
Operations Manager has received a connection from a system running an older version of Operations Manager
None of my clients are running an older version of the agent. What's also new is that I cannot tell if my clients are turned on or not. The clients that are green are always green. Even when they are powered off, they are never grey
in the console. Even after I ping them or refresh. They always stay green. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I deleted the Health Service State folder and I modified the DB so they are remotely manageable. Now I am trying a repair. But what I dont understand is why the healthy clients do not show when they are turned off? They normally go from
green to grey. I've tried a ping and a refresh and I cannot get them to go grey.

My 'Location Services is on but all is greyed out so I can't change anything. Any ideas?

I want some of my apps to use the location services & to be able to turn it off, but it's all greyed out. Same with my Cloud. I read thru the entire manual, with no luck. Could someone give me a little advice? My iPhone 4S is from Verizon
Thanks!

Synced items greyed out on iPad

Since upgrading to 5.1 on my ipad2, I can't sync movies?? They appear on the iPad but are greyed out with 0 bytes... Help please

Hmmm.... before going any further. Connect device by USB to PC and open iTunes - Left click device when it appears and click on Reset Warnings. Do the same under the iTunes Edit Menu - Preferences\Advanced tab - click on Reset Warnings there too. Then:
0 Bytes would normally indiacte the films are incomplete. Can you please unsync your films by clicking your device, in iTunes, when the Summary page appears, select the Films tab and remove the tick from Sync films. When finished click apply and then Sync.
Close itunes (whilst your device is still connected to your PC). Reopen iTunes. Do as before, but this time select the option to 'sync selected". Place a tick in a box next to one film only. Apply and sync - watch the sync bar to confirm it completes.
When finished, go to Video App on your pad and commence play back (about 20 mins worth)
Then close - reconnect to iTunes and set sync options for the items you want to transfer. Hit apply and then click to sync.
Watch the memory bar at the bottom when selecting films - if your library exceeds available memory on your pad it will not be able to sync.
If this is the case you should get a dialogue box telling you this.
There is a bug with the Manually Manage, it can misbehave sometimes. Take the tick out of this box, and use the "Selected Items" option under each sync heading for Music and Films.
Let me know how you get on please. If you get any warnings or dialogues can you please note them down 'Complete' and post back with what you were doing when it/they displayed- unfortunately there are literally hundreds of them and it is impossible to know why each one appears without feedback from those who post here.
Best Regards, Ct

Server 4.0 can't edit users and groups. All options greyed out.

I have upgraded the mac mini server from Mavericks to Yosemite and had to update to Server 4.0 and having many issues.
One issue is I can't edit users and groups. All the options are greyed out.

Search the System keychain on the server for application passwords with the name "/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1" and delete any you find. Sign out of the Server app and sign back in using the FQDN of the server, not "localhost" or "127.0.0.1".

IPhone 4s Almost all songs and all videos greyed out and will not play

I bought the iPhone 4s yesterday and have been beating my head against the wall over this problem all night. I only have about 2,000 songs on the iPhone and about 10 videos. Some of the songs will play, but all others are greyed out and all videos are greyed out. When plugged into iTunes the same problem is there, the same songs that do not play are greyed out while the ones that will play are not grey.

I've had this issue before. The greyed songs in iTunes are because the original music files have been moved on your computer and itunes can't find them. Delete all your grayed out songs (might be easier to select all and delete all) ; then drag them all from your music file/folder back into your itunes... then resync.
Good Luck

HT201274 Will erase all content and settings on ipad affect basic icons?

I want to erase all personal information from my ipad 4, will erase all content and settings work. Will my ipad be reset to factory settings.

If you do that your device restores to factory settings. However, if you just want to remove settings, then just Erase All Settings. It's much faster.

No Sound; All options greyed out

Output options for sound are greyed in Preferences and the desktop sound icon. In the Audio MIDI Setup window, the default output says Built-in Output and the System Output also says Built-in Output. No other options available for either.
Just below halfway down there is Audio Input, which has a bunch of info on the left, but on the right where it says Audio Output, there is just a greyed out message that says Output is Not Supported.
I also tried the option/apple/p/r, got the three chimes, but sound is still greyed out.
Any gurus out there who can tell me what simple thing I did to cause this, or is it a hardware/sofware bug?
Macbook Pro Core Duo 2 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2 gig SDRAM 2.33 GHZ Core Duo 2

it doesn't matter if you've used the ports or not.. there is a sensor inside the audio ports that will automatically switch your audio in and/or out into digital mode if it trips and then 'thinks' there's a digital cable connected. basically, if you open your sound control panel and display the output pane and it says 'digital out', and the volume control (and everything else) is greyed out, and it says something about this device not having volume control... then this is exactly the situation where the port sensor has clicked on to digital and is staying there. unfortunately, the sensor seems to be quite fragile and there are plenty of users that are suddenly wondering why they have no sound, and why the sound ouput only says digital and the options are greyed out. it would be at least a comfort to be able to say that this only can happen if you've been plugging things into the port (such as headphones), but I've heard of this happening to people regardless.
anyway, look for the signs I mentioned: the digital output option being the only available choice in the sound control panel, with options greyed out. and also a red light coming out of the port. if this is happening to you, then you need to get the machine fixed cos that sensor is jammed.
