HT1351 Manual sync wont work, it wont transfer the music it only lists the songs wich are grayed out

Hi, Not sure why I can only post this in older ipods when its my iphone 5 but here goes:
I double checked the article for manually managing songs and I'm doing it the same way, but the songs wont complete the transfer, they are just grayed out. I tried it with the iphone 5 over wifi and then directly connected to the computer with the usb cable and still no luck.
Thanks,
Josh

Ive always manually managed it because I hate that I can only sync on one computer and every time I would have to delete what was on the iPhone, which is stupid IMO.
You can blame the record label companies for that.
I'm running a little low on ideas. Perhaps you could still try and post over in the iPhone forums.

Ipod4 syncs music incorrectly with itunes after ios5 update. Playlists list some songs which are greyed out and wont play. Suspect they werent downloaded as Ipod now holds 16 000 songs. Previous max was 9000 songs.

I upgraded to IOS5. Now have synching problems using the USB Cable . I tried everything. Resent the Synch history in ITunes. Unticked all playlists and synched to clear all music etc of the iPod. Reticked items to synch then still have trouble. After it synchs, I see a playlist with some songs in black and some in grey. The black songs play, the grey ones don't. The same songs in iTunes do appear there and will play. I don't have any broken links in my library. Anyone know of a solution.? Synching takes forever and seems to get stuck on importing the pictures for ages. I walk away and next morning it will be finished syncing but with aforementioned problems.

You should send this to Apple.

2nd > I purchased 21 new tunes yesterday on the new computer> worked great> but when I made a disc to transfer the playlist. I get the music but no album info just 1,2,3,etc. So I have signup both computers to share thinking that would work. But no to that also.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.

Page Forward & Reverse buttons do not work & are "grayed-out" after upgrading to, as is the Main-Menu Items such as File-Edit-view etc...

After upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 all functionality appeared to be intact. Then after a few days it lost the ability to "page forward" or to "page back" and are "grayed-out". Additionally, the Main menu items such as File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help are also grayed-out and non-functioning.
Also, the "Search Window" does not search, Web Searches need to be performed from within the URL window instead, for some crazy reason. If the URL window is blank when I enter a search into the actual search window the following appears in the URL window, "Search Bookmarks and History", which makes no sense.
I have noticed similar complaints in this Forum in the past but I have not seen any posted resolution to these issues. Is there a solution?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I have duplicative song files in my library that are grayed out. This seems to cause a syncing problem to my ipod or iphone. How can I clean up this mess?

I chose to let iTunes rearrange my files and it appears to have duplicated them in my computer's drive. So now I have the same folders/files directly under my D drive (second computer hard drive) and also in the iTunes Music Folder that iTunes created. Wasn't sure what to do so I did another import and now I have files in my library that are grayed out with the small i symbol in the circle next to them. I also have the working (bolded) files too. How can I clean this up?

Is there a way to override the 256kbps "conversion" when uploading to iCloud?
No. All music that is mirrored in the cloud will be AAC@256 Kbps.
Musicman05 wrote:
Along the same lines, if I "download" a song from my library to my iPhone, then plug my iPhone into my computer and sync the song file from my computer, will the higher quality original file overwrite the 256 one?
No, because with iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device traditional syncing of music via USB is disabled. All music management is done directly on the device.
Musicman05 wrote:
Also, if I want to syncronize another computer using iTunes match, how can I get the higher quality audio files? Will I simply have to transport all of them by an exernal hard drive or thumb drive?
You will first have to copy the high-quality audio files to the computer, add them to the iTunes library then enable iTunes Match.

I converted aif files to mp3 files in I tunes so I could put them on a flash drive. Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files in the flash drive. How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?

My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules. You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard.

HT6437 My itunes cannot locate my ipod. All the sync option are grayed out and diagnostics says that itunes cannot find usb ports and that no device is connected when it is. What should I do to solve this issue?

So itunes is giving me problems. Since around Christmas time, itunes decided to stop reading my ipod. I connect it to my computer with the usb cable and my computer will recognize that a device is connected but itunes will not. If I go to file->devices and try to sync, all of my sync options are grayed out, while before it would just automatically sync.
When I run diagnostics it tells me that under ports that it cannot find usb ports (it has a green circle?), a type of cable isn't found, and that no device is connected with the usb cable (which my ipod is). I have been trying to fix this issue but nothing is working. I've tried restarting my ipod, itunes, and my computer, i've also tried resetting my ipod and uninstalling itunes then reinstalling itunes but nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Do the USB ports work for other devices?
Does the iPod charge?
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Does JNLP Sync up the software from the code base only at the startup?

Does JNLP Sync up the software from the code base only at the startup?
There appears a Source sync every time i startup the jnlp app from shortcut.
The users of JNLP application may enable the Internet mid of the application session and fail to get the updates.
If this case repeats for a period of time, there is a good chance of the app user being denied the code update.
Is this case holds true. Does JNLP syncs with the code base only at the startup.
Please explain..
Thanks In Advance

Are you using versions (only 'Easy solution 2' works without)?*
No I am not using versions
Are you thinking of a background update or an on-demand update?*
background
Have you got all-permissions?
yes
Have you tried writing a small DownloadServiceListener and calling*
DownloadService.loadResource(myURLtojnlp, null, myDownloadServiceListener)*
Does anything happen?*
No. But, no problems trying it.
Easy solution 1*
If using versions and if you want an on-demand update you can launch and wait*
Runtime.getRuntime.exec("javaws -wait myURLtojnlp");*
and then you exit (need all-permissions to call exec, can try showDocument() otherwise).*
You should just have some way to know if the jnlp has changed (you could open an URLConnection and see if LastModified is after application start time).*
I am not using versions.
Easy solution 2:*
If you're just afraid of losing update, you can call BasicService.isOffline at application start, if true you set a timer that checks every 5 minutes, if you go online you call*
Runtime.getRuntime.exec("javaws -import myURLtojnlp");*
and you'll have resources updated, so they'll be good for next start (need all-permissions to call exec).*
You can call it with -wait and ask the user if he wants to restart the application*
Harder solution (here comes the bunch of code with DownloadService):*
you open an url connection to codebase, retrieve jnlp, parse it, for each resource you see if it's cached, if not:*
Solution 1: you tell the user you found updates and ask him to restart (or automatically restart after he pressed ok, with exec or showDocument).*
Solution 2: you download the resource (so that you'll have it even if user doesn't restart the app).You'd better do this in a separate Thread or have an interactive DowloadServiceListener cause service waits for download to end.*
I ll try the timer execution. Have to see weather web start puts up a downloading progress window on top of the application. I belive the DownloadService listener will be silent. I ll implement it and get back to you.
Thanks for your kind guidence.
I think your scenario is very difficult to happen, but I guess you must have your good reasons to ask.*
This scenario happens to my users as they switch on the client when the start their machine and runs for the whole morning. They switch on the internet for other purposes and shuts it down in an hour. Minimal chance of connecting the internet before the startup.
I get update towards the server through a similar timer based mechanism. I ll implement the code updates in the same mechanism.
Thanks.

Any reasons why these options are grayed out in PSA? Transfer/Create/Delete

Hi,
I have a flat file mater data attri in PSA and it is not showing in Targeted InfoObject. When I select all the objects in the PSA, I thought the "Transfer" option in the menu option List, would let me transfer the selected data into the customer infoobj but Transfer, Create and Delete options under List in the PSA are grayed out.
Any reasons for these options being grayer out?
Any way to push the data from here in the the InfoObject?
Thanks

Hi,
thanks for the input.
No, this is not through process chain
I created infopak to load the data from flat file... which placed it in the PSA.
Then I created DTP which is supposed to take the data to the Customer InfoObj but it did not. That is why I wanted to manually push it from PSA to InfoObj.
Any more help?
Thanks

Sync Settings are Grayed out

I cannot sync my settings from my desktop to my laptop.
Prefs are grayed out and have no option to log-in to enable them.
When I choose Manage Account, it just has me log-in to creative cloud in my browser and views my files.
Mac OS X 10.9.2
InDesign CC v9.2
Thank You!

The issue appears to be that you're not signed in to your Adobe ID. In the dialog box you posted, it says "Signed In As: Not Signed In"
Go to the Help menu and sign in with your Adobe ID.
Sync Settings only works to sync between two computers which are both signed into the same Adobe ID.

Apps are grayed out and unable to sync

I am trying to sync multiple iPads using a Bretford Syncing Cart for 30 iPads. When I choose to make changes to what apps are each iPad, I am not able to select the apps within the "apps tab" They are grayed out. I can not scroll through them, move them or add or delete any app. The only way that I can make any changes is to restore the iPad to factory settings and start over each time. I have run out of ideas to deal with this. Anyone have any suggestions?

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
