Apps greyed out

I have an iPad that I used with my Windows machine and iTunes.
Syncing worked fine.
I now have a new iMac (yea), but when I connect my iPad to iTunes on the iMac
click my iPad device name and Apps at the top all of the Apps appear on the
screen except they are greyed out. I asumme there is some sort of login, but I'm danged
(trying to be polite) if I can find it. It is where?
Thanks,
Chris

I have this problem as well. Rebooting the watch removed the greyed out icons, which is absolutely horrible, since I could only remember one of the apps that was greyed. So, you have to go back into the Apple Watch app, find the app(s) that were removed from the watch and re-add them.

Apps grey out on iTunes

I have three iphones. One is an iphone4 and is the one I use as my phone/pda. Two are leftovers from updates that I only use for my kids to play games on. One runs 3.2, the other also runs 4.2. I sync mine many times a day (iCal, Mail, iPhoto, etc)...the other two only when there are new games to load on them. I have synced purchased games on iTunes or my iPhone4 many times before among all three
Today I got Ball Pit on my iphone4. I synced to iTunes and when i tried to sync the other two iphones both showed the apps greyed out on the app tab...all the other tabs (although i do not use) are functional. After disconnecting I noticed the app store icon on both of these "game" iphones are gone (). Help pls!! Many thx.

On both of these iPhones, go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
Is Restrictions turned on?
If so, is Installing Apps enabled as a Restriction?

CC desktop app greyed out, not functioning

For several weeks now, the CC desktop app is greyed out and shows no app updates (or anything else for that matter). Just downloaded and reinstalled. No change.
Works fine on another Mavericks updated iMac, but not on this older MacPro (too old to install Mavericks but not that old). I certainly hope that CC is not dependent on having Mavericks installed.

I too would like to know the answer to this!

Messages App Greyed-Out and Non-functional

I recently installed Yosemite on my (June 2013) Macbook Air and my messages app has just become an exercise in mind-numbing frustration.
Issue:
When I get texts, I get the pop-up notification in the top-right of my Mac with the texter's name and a preview of their message, but when I click on the notifications.. they disappear and nothing happens. Sometimes it'll pull up the messages app, but no matter how many times I restart it, the app is just a grey window that says "No Conversation Selected"-- or sometimes, it doesn't even say that. It's just a blank grey screen. And all (useful) preferences and options in the menu (apart from "about" and "close messages") are greyed-out, and the app itself doesn't show any conversations.
Worst part being that I can't seem to find many people with the same issue, and thus I've Googled myself out to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Check the Font AppleGothic.ttf is active and validates using the Font Book app.
if you have to change anything restart the Mac.
If this is not the issue go to ~/Library/Preferences and find com.apple.ichat.plist and Drag it to the Trash and then restart Messages.
The above reply in another thread solved my issue! Namely that my apple gothic font was disabled, breaking the entire Messages app.

Problem with a few apps - A few Apps Greyed out

Hello Guys,
I have an iPAD 2 (64 Gig no 3G). I have the below problem with 4-5 apps
- The App does not show up in any of the home screens
- Search does not show the Apps
- Search for the specific App in App Store shows that the App is installed, but there is no way i can delete these Apps from my iPAD or use them
- There was an update for one of the above missing Apps, but the update button was greyed out in the App Store.
I want to use a few of the above Apps, but there is no way i can either use them or delete them.
Any help is resolving the above is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lavanya.

All,
At last i resolved the problem ... To be franck ... it was not a problem to begin with. We forgot about some restrictions that we had set and the Apps that were missing were newspaper and music apps that were not sutable as per the rules that were set and so not showing up.
Just though of posting this as this might help poeple like me running around
Thanks,
Satya.

Copied my iTunes library to new MacBook Pro, why are my iPhone apps greyed out?

Hi,
Rather than migrate from an iMac that I sold, I decided to just start fresh on a new Macbook Pro. I did back up my iTunes library and copied it over to the new Macbook. I synced my iPhone and iPad 2 on the new Macbook but the apps are greyed out. When I click the sync apps box all but a few of the apps (I'm assuming the ones that are default with the iPhone and iPad) dissappear.
I'd like the ability to arrange my apps with the Macbook at times and like the idea that I have a backup of all my apps on my computer. I realize I'm backing them up in iCloud, but just sayin'.
Thanks,
Bo

Do I purchase an external hard-drive and transfer? Or should I just go and get a 32 GB Flashdrive? Anyone have any tips for doing this stuff?
assuming all your media files are in the default location, connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
So how can I turn off the library on my iMac and just make it two?
you can't.
you'll have to wait until you reach the limit of five machines. then you can use the deauthorize all option, following which you can reauthorize those computers you currently use/have access to.
have a look at this support article.

App greyed out or unable to download

Hi All,
I have built a ipa file on xcode 5 and my target architecture is armv7,armv7s. Some of the users are facing issues while installing the app.
When they are trying to load the ipa file via iTunes, the app is greyed out and shows 'installing'.
I also tried to install the app by providing a unique url on http://install.diawi.com/. While using the same, some users got an error message "Unable to download App".
The devices are mostly 4s and 5 running ios7.Let me further add that the issue is prevalent on a few devices and not all of them. We have checked the udids and they seem to be fine.
Any suggestions will be of great help

Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. if that doesn't work then you could try downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025

Iphone 4 iOS 6.1.3 can't download apps (greyed out)

I have had issues with apps not allowing me to download with the app being greyed out in the itunes app store on my iphone. I then tried to download to itunes on my pc & sync to my iphone. When I sync it shows on the pc that it is on my phone but it doesn't give me the app on my phone. It gives me an empty space on my screen for that app. I am not sure why I am having these issues. My husband has an iphone4 with iOS 6.1.3 also and he is able to download the apps that I am having issues with.

Restriced apps greyed out after iOS 7 upgrade?

I have a cart of iPad2's that I have enabled restrictions on. I had Safari, Camera, iTunes, and Delete Apps disabled in the restrictions. A few weeks ago I upgraded the iPads to iOS 7and now when I go to turn any of those settings back on in restrictions I can not. Any restriction I had previously configured before upgrading to iOS 7 is now greyed out and I can not turn it on or off. This is a nightmare becasue these iPads have TONS of apps on them and are customized for individual students so restoring each one to factory settings would be horrific.
Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

I haven't noticed that issue but I found out today that ever since I updated our student supervised devices, their ability to add an email account under the "Mail" app is now restricted. I have been going crazy trying to see if I accidentally changed a restriction in the profiles but found out that it is only happening to iPads that have had the update done. :-(

Create Cloud app greyed out after latest Lightroom update

With the recent update to Lightroom (5.6) I managed easily on my PC, but when I tried on my MacBook Pro it downloaded, then froze the laptop. Subsequently the Creative Cloud App has been greyed out. What do I do?

you mean you cannot select your cc desktop app? if so, uninstall and then reinstall, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
if you can select it but it doesn't open or it freezes, CC applications close immediately after launch
if it opens but you see the spinning wheel, App doesn't open | Progress wheel spins continually

I updated my iPhone and now none of the music on it will play. When I sync, I can change teh music selections on it, but they all won't play and are greyed out. Only the Playlists, Artists, Albums are black font, but all songs are grey and won't play

I recently updated my iPhone 3G to 5.0 (9A334) and it was somehow interrupted during restoration, or at least that is what it tells me. But it keeps making a new restore and adding it to a list, but never gets through without getting interrupted. anyways, I kind of got through all that, but now all the music on the iPhone won't play and is greyed out. I had some APPs greyed out, but they are not as important. Music is a huge investment in my life and this part of it has gone silent. I SYNC with my iMac. Resyncing doesn't help. I can change the selections, but can never get them to play on the iPhone.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

All the apps that I have downloaded are "waiting" and whenever I try to sync apps on my computer with my phone, the apps section is greyed out and won't allow me to do anything. I have tried restoring to factory settings but it didn't work.

How can I access my apps? They are all greyed out in itunes. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings but that didn't work. I have a feeling it may have something to with the restrictions settings on my phone restrictions are on) but it won't allow me to change the restrictions without putting in a passcode. I don't remember ever having a passcode and after several attempts have not been able to get the right code.
Also. on my phone, in settings, personal hotspot, iCloud and Twitter are greyed out. And, the App Store icon is missing from my screen as well.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!
