How to get rid of grayed out songs on iOS devices?

I keep getting these grayed out songs on my iPod, that have the round circle in the far left column, that means the song is trying to download or sync.
The song stays that way, and I can't delete it, either. in my iTunes library, I have tried making an AAC version of the song, and then dragging that into my iPod, and everything looks OK. But then the grayed out song with the round circle shows up again.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings                  
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                                
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                        
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How to get rid of the old songs from iPhone that do not show up in iTunes?

    Every time I delete my entire iTunes library and sync iPhone with it, my music is still loaded with old songs but do not appear on my iTunes. And when I add new songs to my library, the new songs get mixed with old songs.

  • How do i get rid of grayed out EXPORT IN FILE on PSE 12? I am trying to export a panoramic photo file.

    I am trying to export a panoramic photo file in PSE 12. but EXPORT under file is grayed out, how do i get rid of it being grayed out?

    Hi,
    This is a follow up to the dialog about "exporting" files back to LR5 after adjusting in PSE12.
    In simple terms, as I am no expert at all, just a long time film photo pro always struggling with the digital technology, even though it is great to use, here is what I need to accomplish.
    After transferring raw files from LR5 and creating a panoramic image file in PSE12,  which shows on my editor next to the several files i created it from. Is it possible to send the newly created panorama file back to LR5 so I could use the print module there. If so, how, what steps need be taken.
    Thank you for your help, I am in no rush, and am very appreciative of your imput.
    Carl
    My overall aim it to create the finest quality panoramic print for exhibition.

  • Get rid of greyed out songs on iTunes on the PC

    It happens on my Windows desktop where I go on "My Device" on iTunes where it was 3 greyed out songs with the dotted circle. Whenever I try deleting them and then sync my phone, they reappear. It's very frustrating. Can anyone help me how to stop this?

    When the media on the device won't update as expected during a sync the method that usually works is this:
    Export the contents of the camera roll. (You should do this routinely anyway.)
    Backup the device, unless you have a recent backup that you would prefer to restore.
    Restore as a new device. (The general restore process doesn't seem to clear things out before reloading, so there can be issues with missing artwork or incorrect capacity calculations.)
    Restore the chosen backup.
    In some cases it might pay to use the recovery mode method given in HT201263: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at step 3 to ensure that a device has been completely reset before reloading your content.

  • How to get rid of skips between songs

    When I import songs into iTunes that have been downloaded, not ripped, sometimes I get a small "skip" between songs. I only notice it because I know that the tracks are supposed to blend seamlessly, like on "Dark Side of the Moon," or a live album. I have checked my import settings, and "no gap" is checked. Please help.

    Can't. The Shuffle does not do gapless playback.

  • How to get rid of song on phone?

    this sounds like the dumbest question, but I can't figure out how to get rid of a certain song on my phone.  It pops up on shuffle all the time, and I know I must have added it to a playlist at some point. 
    But I have a bunch of long playlists and I cannot find it in any of them! 
    How can I tell which playlist a certain song is on?
    Thanks
    Bob

    OK -- so I actually called AppleCare about this.  I went through 30 minutes on the phone with the entry-level guy, and he couldn't help.  He actually wanted me to check 'manually manage music" and have iTunes wipe my phone, then I was going to have to reselect all my music!  And that would not have even fixed the problem, I know.  He was clueless but thankfully escalated me to a dude who solved this in 30 seconds.
    I had to delete the song *from* the phone.  Went to the Music App, under More->Purchased, and swiped left on the song and then could delete it.
    So, because I bought the song on the phone, and it wasn't in a playlist, I was not able to remove it from iTunes.  I had to do it on the phone.

  • Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself.  However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

  • I have a new iPhone 5S.  While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content.  I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want.  Help!

    I have a new iPhone 5S.  While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content.  I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want.  I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone.  Help!

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

  • How to get rid of the "time out" when using DAQ AI in the example program

    I try an example file called "AcqVoltageSamples_IntClkDigRef" (Visual C++ .NET). It works great. However, if the program has not recieved the data, it sent out a timeout message. How to get rid of the "time out"? I cannot find anywhere in the code. Is this a property I have to reset somewhere else?
    Thank you,
    Yajai.

    Hello Yajai,
    The example program will use the default value for timeout, 10 seconds. To change this, you will have to set the Stream.Timeout value. I inserted this function into the example and set it equal to -1, and the program will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal without timing out. Please see the attached image to how this was implemented.
    I hope this help. Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Regards,
    Sean C.

    Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
    Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference.
