Get Info shows informations greyed-out; I can't edit it!
Whenever I want to edit a song (because of a misspelling, or to make it go in accordance with the rest of the items, etc.) I find the information is there, but greyed-out, and so, am not able to edit it. This happened before the update to version 11, so I don't know what's wrong.
I have to say I had a horrendous system crash, and I had to reconstruct two hard drives, so it may stem from the consequences of that lightning strike, but I have no problem with authorizations, so I am at a loss.
Just yesterday, I put into iTunes a double CD (yes, I don't feel comfortable if I don't own my music. I have DVD's of all I've ever downloaded from iTunes Store, too, so I backup: it's a religion.) And that CD info is also non-editable.
I really need the capacity to edit my songs. Please help.
What version of Windows?
Are you signed into the computer with an Administrator account?

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

Info tab in Get Info section is greyed out
The info tab in the get info section is greyed out on some of the songs and does not let me change them. What do I need to do? Does anyone know how?
These are songs downloaded from my CD collection.
RamIf the files are not read only, the most likely thing is that Vista does not regard you as the owner of the files as they were created from another account, and has not granted you write permission.
You need to make sure that your account has full control or at least write permission for the folder containing your music.
Ther is some microsoft help on permissions in Vista here:

New iMac/external hard drive - redirected to play, but song info greyed out, so can't edit?
I have got myself a lovely new iMac and can play music on my iTunes through my external hard drive. I have redirected iTunes to do this.The iTunes media folder is correctly showing as my external hard drive, but when I go in to the song info section, the info is greyed out, so I can't amend the info.
I was wanting to do a bit of house-keeping before importing the whole library, but this problem isn't going to allow it.
I'm also worried I've not imported it correctly so future adds to my iTunes won't go to my external hard drive and will go on to the iMac.
Any help would be appreciated....Yeah, library was made with Windows.
How do I reassociate the library?
I noticed that the hard drive is 'you can read only' in the permissions and sharing section - is that the issue?
If I take everything off the h/d and put it on to the mac and then back across to the h/d will that fix. The songs are not 'greyed' out when on the mac's hard drive. -

How can I get rid of a greyed out video title on my iPhone 4?
I deleted the video from the phone then trashed it in iTunes. I can't find the video anywhere but it shows up, greyed out, in the list of videos.
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.Try checking "Manually manage music and videos on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, click Apply, open the folder on your iPhone on the left sidebar by clicking on the triangle to the left of its name, click on the Movies folder and see if you can click on the video and delete it from there.

After doing a Google search, I click on a link and go to the searched web page. When I go back to the Google page using the back button the links I originally clicked on no longer show as "greyed out". Any idea what is going on with the browser?
Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
* Preferences that have been modified are shown as '''bold (user set)'''.
* Preferences can be '''Reset to the default''' or changed via the right-click context menu.
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.sessionhistory.max_entries'''
* Right click the preference '''browser.sessionhistory.max_entries''' and click '''Modify'''
* Change value from 0 to whatever you want over 0 (Default value is 50)
* click OK
-> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.

I would like to sync ITUNES to my IPOD. When I click on devices the sync is greyed out. can anyone help. I am running Windows 8
You need to select your iPod in iTunes. The command (from the menu bar?) is disabled because you have not selected a device for which the command is applicable.
The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, find and select the iPod under DEVICES.
Once the iPod is selected, you can select the Sync command under File -> Devices in the menu bar. You can also just click the Sync button at the bottom left corner of the iTunes window (when the iPod is selected). -

Hi, I am trying to download IOS7 (not sure if it's 1 or 2) to my ipad. The programme has locked at the 'Choose a Wif-Fi network' page, a box says 'joining other network' but the page is greyed out and can't move from it. How can I clear this screen and finish the download. Thanks
Hello Den53,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Best of luck,
Mario -
I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas?
Thanks,
IanIf you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

I have a old firefox account and I cannot sign on too. I made new account just to ask a question. I tried to sign in with old emails, but did not get any reset information back. How can I recover old information?
Backing up and restoring your Profile should have included your bookmarks.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
That looks like a JSON bookmarks backup file, from 11-01-2012. Did you try '''restoring''' that file?
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them#w_using-a-bookmark-backup-file
Never messed with JSON files other than viewing them on a few occasions out of curiosity. There are no line breaks which make them very difficult to read.
As far as working with that file in {like} NotePad goes:
A. use Find / Search for each indecent of a '''"uri"''' string, then "copy and paste" the uri into another text file, and then move on to the next "uri" string.
B. use a text program where a filter can be set for the "uri" field in the JSON file for a line break or to "scrape out" the "uri"s only for display or export to a list of uri's.
Or try using an online JSON editor like this, to try to display only the "uri" field.

How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!
If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
Everything on the phone will be lost.
You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it. -
in the tracing drop down menu, how come the custom is greyed out and can't be selected? It looks like its disabled!!
cc2014,
Have you selected an image?
Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
