Greyed Out TV Episodes on My iPhone

Hello,
I use the latest version of iTunes on my Windows 7 PC to sync with my iPhone 4S, which is running iOS 7.0.2.
Ever since I updated to iOS 7, whenever I connect my iPhone to the computer, it will show that there are 4 new items in "TV Shows" under Devices.
When I click on "TV Shows", there are currently five items listed, but they are all greyed out and cannot be removed. It appears iTunes thinks four of these episodes are unwatched, but I watched all of them to the end.
Anyway, my question is, how can I get iTunes to stop displaying these items? They are no longer on my iPhone, I removed them after I finished watching. They are not in my library either.
All of those episodes are from the iTunes Store, and I should point out that I have purchased more than just these five items since the iOS update, but for some reason the others don't appear like that.
I know this may seem really trivial to some, but it's really been bothering me, so I hope someone can provide some insight. Any help would be appreciated!
Screenshot attached so you'll have a better idea as to what I'm referring to.
Thanks in advance.

There is a high probability that it is a hardware failure. You can try restoring as a new phone, without reloading your backup. If that does not fix it te phone needs repair.

  • TS3899 Mailbox occasionally becomes greyed out after io7 update on iPhone 5

    When I go to mail sometimes one of my mail boxes is greyed out (always the same one). I can see mail in there if I go to 'All Inboxes' but I can't directly access the mailbox until I go to 'Mail, Contacts, Calandars' select the account click on the GMAIL account then click 'Done'. After this the mailbox ceases to be greyed out... until the next time it happens.
    I have tried rebooting the iPhone and reseting it. Ihave also deleted the mail account and re-added it but I still get the issue.
    Any ideas?

    I Have fumbled all day to this resolved, I'll run the battery down and see what happens afterwards. This is not good !

  • 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.

  • Wi fi Grey out on iOS 8 on iPhone 4S

    I have been using iphone 4 s for more than two years. Suddenly the wifi started giving problems and sometimes it used to get greyed out.  I tried by resetting network setting after which it used to get enabled. But after some time the problem was the same. I even upgraded to the latest software 8.1.3 through itunes. But it is the wifi is still greyed out. I checked in the internet and came to know that this may be a hardware problem. Can anyone suggest the best way to get the wifi back ?

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to get it looked at and be prepared to buy a new phone.

  • How can I remove the greyed out items in iTunes under the devices media list?

    As you can see in the photo below I am slowly collecting greyed out TV episodes in my phones list of synced items. Its like they're pending a synchronisation but never actually do.
    Things I have tried:
    Turning off synching for individual episodes, shows and "all TV" doesn't remove them.
    Syncing them to the device and then removing them, they show as copied to the device as normal but when they're removed the grey "pending sync" reappears.
    fully wiping and restoring the device, no change if I restore a backup. I would like to avoid a complete "fresh" start is possible just due to the hassle of resetting apps etc.
    Since it seems to be tied to some sort of cache that remembers the items pending synchronisation I would expect there is a way to clear that from the backup/phone/itunes without completely wiping the device and starting again. If not i'll work out if the placeholders are taking up space - which it looks like they might be under the "Other" category, if not then they can just stay.

    Hi romeisdead,
    Happy Holidays!  Here are the instructions to remove the U2 album:
    Remove iTunes gift album "Songs of Innocence" from your iTunes music library and purchases - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201396
    To remove this album:
    Go to https://itunes.com/soi-remove.
    Click Remove Album to confirm you'd like to remove the album from your account.
    Sign in with the Apple ID and password you use to buy from the iTunes Store.
    You'll see a confirmation message that the album has been removed from your account.
    If you downloaded the songs to iTunes on your Mac or PC or to the Music app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you'll need to delete them manually.
    Cheers,

  • Greyed out video file under TV shows for my iPhone 4S

    I have this weird issue on my iPhone 4S when I paused a TV show download then started it again at another time. It made me restart the entire file download. After I removed the episode, I have no video files left on my phone. But in iTunes, I see this in TV shows on my iPhone.
    http://i50.tinypic.com/2qdpgn6.png
    I was wondering if there is any way to get rid of this? I can't do much with it other than highlight, rate, get info, see description. Not really a problem. Just bothers me.

    I have almost the same problem - except not only do TV Shows appear as greyed out on my iPhone page in iTunes, but on the phone itself only shows I've downloaded through iTunes appear in my Videos app. Every other home video I add is not displayed and can only be found when I search for it.

  • IPhone from UK can't be replaced in India :( wifi greyed out

    My friend gifted me a iPhone 4s last year from UK, after using it from a year the wifi suddenly greyed out/ ocassionally gets connected to wifi but most of the time its out, Now i am in India and have no plans to visit UK, is there anything that i can do as store here says that it would not be replaced in India and i have to visit UK for repair or replacement. Please help

    Apple is "answerable", but as has been said, Apple will provide no service, paid or warranty, for an iPhone outside of its country of sale. With just about every country requiring a different model/configuration of iPhone, Apple has apparently decided that it is not feasible for every service center to be able to provide every model, hence the restrictions. Most smartphone manufacturers have the same policy.
    This is Apple's policy and there's nothing further any of us, your fellow users, can tell you.
    Regards.

  • Itunes match not working. Itunes match will grey out songs that i have on my iPhone, that were fine before i signed up to itunes match.

    Hey
    Itunes match will be in a loop. I have unlimited internet but it does take up bandwith. The worse problem is it can never finish step three. I have tryed signing in and out of my apple ID, but that does not seem to help. I go to my iphone and it has songs that are localy stored on it greyed out, like what people are saying about songs they have in the cloud. I can figure it out, i tryed these steps of getting the song off icloud, bring it back in, the uploading it. It just does not seem to be doing anything for me, pleas help!

    Hi,
    What is the iCloud status of these tracks?
    You can add icloud status column to song view - go to menu > view> view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been Matched, Uploaded, Purchased, Inelligible, Duplicate or Waiting.

  • 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 and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

    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.

  • I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

    I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

    So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
    hope others find this useful.

  • Iphone fingerprint options are greyed out and won't enable!!

    I Have had my iPhone 5s since feb and never had an issue, but just yesterday the finger print scanner stopped working... Went back in to enable and the options are greyed out.. When I click them to enable them it just says failed. Have restored and turned off loads!! Help!!!!

    Try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up

    Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

    This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
    My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.
