why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI. I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud. I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown.
I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

After syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable

after syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable?

If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to drag and drop tracks on to the iPhone and the music will be grayed out.
You'll have to Manually Manage the music.
Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
If you have iTunes 7 or later*, follow these instructions:
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
Click Apply.
Even when you have enabled manual management, you can still sync some content automatically. Select any content tab, such as Video, to enable automatic syncing for that type of content.

All iTunes songs grayed out and won't sync to phone

Hello,
I have over 9000 songs in my iTunes library. My iTunes library is stored locally on my iMac. The vast majority of songs were imported from CD's I own. If in iTunes I make the selection to sync the entire library to my phone, iTunes reports that there are about only 250 songs total. If I select "Sync only checked songs" and choose a few songs or albums, the number of songs to sync stays at zero. iTunes version 12.1.0.50.
When viewing my iTunes library I noticed that just about all of my song titles are gray. If I click on a song in iTunes it plays no problem. However I can't sync anything over to my phone anymore.
If I go to the library location on my HDD all of the music files are there as they should be.
I appreciate any suggestion - I've been trying to fix this for some time now and have had no success.
Regards.
NM

I have finally solved this issue. Here is the solution:
1. Open iTunes
2. Select Music
3. In the upper right hand corner select Albums.
4. Under "All Albums" highlight the first album, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, hold down the shift key and select the last album.
5. All albums should now be selected.
6. Place the cursor over one of the albums. Press with 2 fingers on the trackpad to bring up the menu.
7. Select "Check All"
8. Congratulations - no more grayed out songs and they will sync now.
9. Go into your iPhone sync and check the songs you want to transfer and click the sync button.
I hope this helps you to resolve your issue.

Purchased song grayed out and can not delete

I purchase a song and received a permission error. I clicked OK and assumed the download completed. I then purchase another song. There was no error message. Both songs appear in my Music and Purchase folders but the first song is grayed out with an exclamation mark in the first column. I tried to download it again and received a warning message saying I had already downloaded it and a second download would result in a duplicate. I tried to delete the grayed out download and could not.

No available downloads under Store>Check for Available Downloads, but I found a "Download" folder under the "Store" folder. Clicked on that and selected resume and the download completed. The Downloaded folder the disappeared. All is well.

Charge it for 15 minutes with the mains charger, then disconnect and hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for 10-15 seconds until an Apple logo appears.

Some bookmarks "gray out" and will neither work nor can they be deleted. FF 4.0, Win XP SP3. Have tried safe mode, restart, reboot, and manual deletion in the bookmarks organizer. None of these work.

Only certain sites, such as CNN, will show the site name but not the URL in the Bookmarks Organizer. Sometimes they will appear on a restart. I noticed this in FF 3.16 and thought that FF4.0 might cure it but it hasn't. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration, all plugins, and the advice on the Firefox help site under "bookmarks don't work." I'm typing this from a different computer with essentially the same settings, OS, etc. and this does not show a problem on this machine. I've been through Task Manager, Processes and FF does not appear after shutdown.

Re: Audigy2 ZS Platinum -Win XP SP2 - card not detectedF neur0n,
Installation problems can have so many causes...but my first question is did you cancel installation of Windows drivers after it found the soundcard as new hardware? Second, and by way of example, recently the IT guy at work setup a new WinXP PC for me including an A2ZS card. But he installed the default Windows drivers for the soundcard. In Device Manager, I uninstalled these drivers and rebooted. Windows found new hardware. I cancelled the offer of Windows drivers and proceeded to install drivers, Creative software apps, and Mediasource from the original installation CD. Everything works fine now. Possibly you've done something similar to this procedure already, but If you decide to try it again, uninstall any software apps first.
Here is a link to a thread covering some FAQ on the A2ZS:

I have an older MacBook Pro (circa 2009). Lately I've noticed my volume button is grayed out and I cannot adjust it. I've tried rebooting. Sometimes it becomes available to use and other times not. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Reset the SMC. Check the Audio Midi Setup utility. If connected to an external display that has audio, that may have hijacked the audio.

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone.

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone. i have tried the following:
1) Removing all music from phone and resynced to iTunes PC library.
2) Erased phone and restored from back up
3) Erased phone and started as a new iPhone
4) Reformated the music files in my library that weren't playing
5) Deleted songs from iPhone and computer and re-imported CDs
6) Tried to redownload my COMPLETE MUSIC LIBRARY from iCloud.
7) I have also turned it off and turned it back on several times
8) I tried syncing through my macbook (only moved partial songs to it to see if it would even work).
9) I have tried to get Siri to play them, did not work.
10) All music does play fine on my iPod Touch 3rd (iOS6 i think) gen and iTunes on Mac and PC
11) I added a CD to my roommates iTunes and it plays on their iPhone 5S but not mine.
After all of these things it is now WORSE!!! My iTunes purchased songs are now experiencing the same issue along with some (not all) of the original music files that were skipping and grayed out. My conclusion is i have no clue at this point! I have done everything i have found online in EVERY discussion, i have spent over 60 hours trying to get this to work and i am asking myself, i bought this product why am having to fix this when it worked just fine on my iPod touch (3rd Gen) and iPod Classic!!!! PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US!!!!

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

Songs on iPod are grayed out and purchases in iTunes are missing

So my mom's having some trouble with iTunes-
When her 7th gen Nano is plugged into iTunes all of the songs on it are grayed out and unplayable. There are no icons or such that suggest that there is a problem.
She has 559 songs on her iPod that she purchased and downloaded with the same Apple ID that she still uses today, however iTunes says that she only purchased 179.
This problem must have started when the computer she uses was wiped and had Windows 7 re-installed, but this shouldn't affect the data associated with her Apple ID?
Is there anyway that the songs on her iPod can be transferred to her library? (after they're somehow ungrayed)
Any little bit of help is appreciated

With manual transfer you drag the songs from your iTunes to the iPod. That's how manual works and has nothing to do with songs being "check marked".
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.

Music won't play on iPad 4, the music is grayed out and when I touch a song to play it goes quickly though all of them but doesn't play. What to do?

Music won't play on newest iPad latest operating system. the music is grayed out and when I touch a song to play it goes quickly though all of them quickly but doesn't play. What to do? The first song on some do. The most resent downloads do play.

the ones that are greyed out did not get downloaded all of the way. You need to delete or unsync them and redownload or resync them.
