I have transferred songs from itunes to my iphone but they are greyed out and will not play

It means that the content didn't fully transfer. I would attempt to transfer it again.

  • My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving just the songs I recently purchased (9).  How can I get them back?  I've tried redownloading them but it didn't work.

    My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving only the 9 songs I last purchased.  When I try to sync, I get a message, "cannot be synced because the iPod cannot be found." 

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

  • Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?

    I am new to ITunes.  I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book?  Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

    About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased. 
    I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
    I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
    I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
    Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
    I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
    Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
    Does anyone know what is going on with this thing???  I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this! 
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
    Thanks.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!

  • I open iTunes and try and play a song through my mac most of the songs come up locate? then the download from i tunes symbol comes up but when i try and download them it won't work and  also a lot of the songs are missing

    ok at time i open i tunes and try and play a song it says locate when i try and redownload it they don't work or are not on my iTunes !! but my i phone 6 is linked and sinked to this mac and it has all the songs and plays no problem

    Delete the references to them from the iTunes library and then either redownload them from the iTunes Store or use the Transfer Purchases function.

  • Trying to download my purchases from my iPod but it is not working. I have a new OS on an old computer and I can't even download the songs from iTunes because it thinks the songs are already on this computer. What should I do?

    Tried to back up music before new OS was loaded but for some reason, it only kept artists through the letter J. I did not realize that until I restored my iTunes under new OS. Now I tried to download my iTunes purchases from the iPod and I can select the "Transfer Purchases from iPOD" but then nothing seems to happen. I tried to download form iTunes and it says the songs are already on my computer. This is either because I did originally download them to this computer on the old operating system or because the names are still in iTunes even though the file associated with them is not. I'm not sure. I don't know what to try next but it is nearly 600 songs so I need to figure it out.

    Does iTunes recognize the phone at all? Or just the computer?

  • Backing up songs from itunes player while maintaining the song information I manually organized through itunes player?

    I want to clean out my current comp, so I would like to back up my music and only the music that in my itunes player. I have music in my itunes library folders that I have cleaned off my itunes player. I didnt know that when i deleted songs from my itunes player that it left the origonal downloaded file in the folder.
    So is there a way to get my itunes player and itunes media folder looking the same, with song titles, artists, and even the songs that have been deleted off my itunes player? I have had a lot of music through this computer so there is alot of memory i could free up by deleting the songs completely that i once deleted off the itunes player.

    haha Original**** sorry for the errors

  • Missing a few songs off of every album on my iphone 5. The songs info still displays but is greyed out and will not play. after selecting it on my phone it will then sync in itunes.

    I could go through all the albums on my phone and tap each song then re-sync but that would take forever. is there an easy solution to this. It happened after i updated Itunes to 11.1.1. All the music info is there on my iphone 5 but the music is gone. after I try to play it it turns grey and a square with a circle surrounding it appears next to the song title. When I next sync my phone that song or songs I tried to play will finally sync with my phone. How do I fix this?

    Ok after reading a few posts I relalise you can not down grade os on iphones and never have been able to.
    But how come I can't factory reset my phone properly? sure factory reset will mean it will reset the phone and its os to the os that it built with with was ios5?

  • When importing songs from a cd into itunes, the songs get separated into multiple albums instead of one.  How do I fix this problem?

    I recently tried to import a cd that I got into itunes.  When it imported, instead of being one album by one artist, it created multiple ablums by the same artist.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem to bring all the files into one album by the same artist?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

    Certainly there has not been any noticeable increase on the forums of people reporting problems with Verizon.net email. I think the Verizon tech may have been passing the buck.

  • I purchased a song from the itunes store and down loaded it to my ipod. The song will not play. I attempted to listen to it on my computer and itunes asked me to authorize my computer. I did so and it told me I authorized one out of five computers .

    I purchased a song from the itunes store and downloaded it to my ipod and it will not play what happens now?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • ITunes will not play music, songs stuck at 0:00

    I know this is a frequent question as I've spent three hours searching through the support discussions here as well as elsewhere online, but none of the possible solutions I found posted worked for me.
    The problem, if you're unfamiliar with it, is that iTunes will not play any music (either songs I've ripped or songs I've bought off of the iTunes Store).
    I've tried updating iTunes and Quicktime, uninstalling and then reinstalling both, updating my audio drivers, playing with the preferences of both iTunes and Quicktime, made both programs the defaults for all associated file types, and rebooted countless times.
    I'm on a 3-month old Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 if that makes a difference.
    Any new suggestions anyone has or something random you may have tried that solved a similar problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks! 

    I'm afraid the problem is more widespread than just iTunes and the update didn't fix it. There's a thread out there about users not getting any sound/audio in Lion after wake from sleep or just having it idle for a long while.
    Hopefully, Mac OS X 10.7.2 will fix the issue.
    Thanks!

  • Quicktime 7.6.4 will not play a .MPG clip brought in from Sony dcr-sr46

    We loaded a clip from the camera onto our desktop but Quicktime 7.6.4 will not play the clip. It says it is a .mpg clip. A warning comes up and says " the movie could not be open" the file was not a movie file. This baffles us. Because info on the clip says it is 67mb. therefore it has info. we tried to change it to a .mov file and still would not play. Does any one have any ideas to why? Is it a sony thing?
    brought in from Sony dcr-sr46 camera. Thanks

    MPEG-2 files require the apple MPEG-2 Playback Component.
    $20 at the Apple Store.
