Bought movies are greyed out

I have bought various movies and TV shows via my Apple TV. They automatically sync back to iTunes but are greyed out so I cannot view then or transfer them onto my phone. Any help would be appreciated as I am new to the Apple TV.

Have they actually synced back?
I wonder if they might be still transferring and hence not available.
Can you Show the greyed out movie in a Finder window by right clicking on it?
Do you have another iTunes on another computer you could copy the file too and try it there?
You might also want to try deauthorising and reauthorising iTunes to see if that helps (turn AppleTV off while you do this in case it decides to wipe synced stuff).

I bought songs on iTunes via iPhone and now they are greyed out on iTunes and iPhone and will not play

I downloaded songs from iTunes to my iPhone, after I synced to iTunes most of the bought songs are greyed out on both. What can I do to get these songs back?

are you absolutely positive they were ringtones? check your music app to see if they are in there. If they are, you downloaded songs and not ring tones.

When I try to import mov files into iMovie'08 (7.1.4) the files are greyed out. Any suggestions?

Hi Appleman - thanks for your guidance.
OK RealTime Inspector: Dimensions of my clips - as I don't know which bit this is I will list everything under Inspector, including Format:
00117
00117
33.30
Format:MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720 millions
AAC, 2channels, 44100Hz
FPS29.97
Data Size2.57GB
Data Rate 10.20 Mbits/s
Current size 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
And re the types of tracks you mention that iMovie '08 can't import, I don't much about film clips so haven't yet made sense of this, tho I do see that the clips are organised into chapters, so presumably this is 'chapter tracks'?
Thanks - I'll await your further instructions :-)

Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many (not all) documents that cannot be opened in either Pages '09 or Pages 5. They show on my doc lists, but are greyed out so I can't try to change extensions or anything else. Some are PDFs.

Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many documents, but not all, that cannot be opened in either Pages 5 or in Pages '09. The names show in my document lists, but are greyed out. They do not show any extensions, but I'm sure at seast some of them are PDFs. As I cannot open them, I am unable to try to experiment with any solutions - I am not tech savvy, but can sometimes fix things by trial and error. I have no issues with sharing documents as I have no other devices. I just want to be able to open my saved documents! Also, the documents I can open have to be persistently coaxed to open to a point that it is extremely aggravating. I am not so happy with this recent "upgrade." Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You use Finder to find stuff. It is what you use to look at where your files are kept and to rename, move or trash them. If you double click on a file in Finder it finds the right software to open it for you.
To open particular files you use the right software for each type. Usually, but not always, the software that made the file.
Pages opens files ending in .pages. Also .txt, .rtf, and doc.
Pages 5 is the latest (but certainly not the greatest) version of Pages. It has trouble opening all sorts of files including the older Pages '09 files but it will still do it.
Unfortunately Apple has chosen for Pages 5 to also save its files as exactly the same file extension .pages despite it being a different format that can not be opened by the older Pages '09.
As we all know Apple is wise and great beyond belief and would not do something that on the face of it looks extraordinarily stupid and shortsighted. Therefore we know that it must be our fault and we are not holding the software right. Because we are bad users, we must be punished, by either having to use Pages 5 or jump through hoops to avoid using Pages 5.
If you have installed Pages 5 any .pages file (old or new) will be opened by Pages 5. If you then save the file, Pages 5 will change the file format. So don't open your files with Pages 5 and don't save them if you do.
To stop Pages 5 opening and resaving your old files, you need to drag it to the trash and empty it.
When it is no longer around to annoy you, you can go back to using Pages 09.

I am unable to merge events running iPhoto '11 - 9.4.2 (710.42) and Mountain Lion, 10.8.2. All options on the events down menu are greyed out and I am therefore unable to merge any events. Is there a solution?

I am unable to merge events as all drop downs in the events selection in the tool bar are greyed out. Is there a solution?

Thank you.
I tried to drag one event into another event but was unable to do so. The event that I tried to move into a second one would only move to another position in the event columnn, but it would not merge into another one.

TS1424 When I ave network coverage, my wi if drops out. I am only able to access my music on my phone when I have no network signal, otherwise all songs are greyed out

I can only access my wi if, when I have no network signal. As soon as I move to a better signal area, my wi Di connection drops out.
I have music on my phone, but again, I cannot access this in the gym, when I have a network signal.
I also cannot access some of my apps, as they are greyed out. Please advise

Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to connect an iPod to multiple computers, play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:
Managing content manually on iPod
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Syncing Music to iPod
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

HT204406 Songs are greyed out on my iPhone and I can't play them as I used to before. How do I fix this?

Songs are greyed out on my iPhone 5 even though they were working before. I bought them on iTunes
How do I fix

A song with an iCloud icon has not been downloaded so cannot be deleted. You can prevent it from showing on the iPhone but you can't delete a song that has not been transferred from your iTunes library or that has not been downloaded from iCloud.
Any chance some of the songs were purchased twice - once in the past from a different album and again recently?
To prevent iCloud songs from appearing on the iPhone, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and under Show All, turn Music off.

LT graphics are greyed out and will not load into FCP4.5

Hello All,
We have LT1.2 and FCP4.5 and everytime we create a text graphic in LT we have to render a QT movie or FCP does not see the file when using import file in FCP.
The .ipr files are greyed out and therefore they will not import into FCP.
Thanks for any ideas. I did here one idea about re-installing FCP and LT.
Alex

No. I doubt it has anything to do with sequence settings. That has happened to me on occasion but not for quite a long time. I was able to drag and drop the file into FCP when that happened.
I don't remember it happening since the last update or two.

All folders in import menus for After effects are greyed out since upgrade to Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks yesterday - all folders in the import menus (and save menus) are greyed out. I cannot access sub folders or even import a .mov directly from the desktop. All files and folders are greyed out.
I can use the "Open with" command on indivdual files which seems to work, but it's very inconvenient when working with multiple files.
Any ideas?
I have patched After effects with the 12.01 bug fix already...

MOV format greyed out?

Hey. I have a school project Im working on, and I have a few MOV files i want to import to iMovie '09. The problem is, only several of them will actually import, and I have close to 100. Most are greyed out, and only three or four will actually import. Any suggestions?

IMovie will only import clips with codecs that it can edit. It is important to realize that MOV is a container, not a codec. It is possible to have clips within an MOV container that iMovie cannot edit.
Also, iMovie will not import files with closed captioning tracks, tween tracks, chapter tracks, and the like. If your MOV file contains one of these, it will not import.
In order to give you specific advice, pick one of the files that will not import, and open it using QuickTIme Player. Then click WINDOW/INSPECTOR on the top bar (or click Command-I). This should open the QuickTime Inspector. Then tell is what you see there, especially the dimensions and everything next to the word FORMAT:.

Some of the extensions I am using are greyed out when I attempt to make their tool bar viewable

There are several extensions I have installed from the Safari extension gallery. Two of them are the twitter extension and the Gtool Bar. I would like their tool bars to be viewable but they are greyed out under the View menu option. Any reasons why this is and what can I do?

Definitely contact the developers but you can also try deleting the Extensions.plist
Go to ~/Library/Safari/Extensions
Move the Extensions.plist file from the Extensions folder to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Upon starting up my mini mac for the first time I see the welcome screen but the 'go back' and'continue' buttons are greyed out so I cant continue.

As the title states everytime I boot up my mini mac the 'go back' and 'continue' buttons are greyed out and I cannot continue with the installation. I even went out and bought an external cd drive to try and load the operating system and that did not work either.

Hi, what OS version is it? And which year Mini?

Your parental controls are likely restricting you: Settings>General>Restrictions, then toggle to "ALL" on shows/movies etc

My purchased films are greyed out

My purchased films are greyed out in iTunes/movies.
Music files are fine.
When I click on a movie I get a pop up as the example below.
The movie “Sideways” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated
thanks

Make sure your OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen.

Text wrap options are greyed out

Hi,
I am trying to create a "drop cap" by selecting a text box and changing the wrap options in the inspector however, the "object placement" options to wrap the text are greyed out and I can not change them, except for the options below, such as "object causes to wrap" check box and the "text fit" boxes.
Is this a glitch? I have restarted both my program and whole computer, as well as tried it in a new document, and it still is coming up greyed out.
HELP, I have a project due and I need to be able to add in drop caps!
Thanks

Hi Architecture Guy
Welcome to the forum.
