IPhone 5S some music grayed out

I just got an iPhone 5S.  Backed up my old phone to computer, and used this backup to get info, data and music onto new phone.  After syncing the phone with iTunes on my computer, some songs on some albums are grayed out and have a red circle with a square next to them, and obviously they do not play on my phone.  However just using iTunes on my computer they all play just fine.  Any ideas how I fix this?  Many thanks!

Thanks for your interest in helping me. I updated my iPhone software to 1.1.2 because it told me to. I have iTunes 7.5. My OS is XP. The only thing I can do to my iPhone is to sync (manually or automatically) to get music on/off my iPhone. I can't just delete songs... they have to come on/off from my playlists. It's maddening!! All I've seen so far is that people that turn the auto sync feature off get their songs un-grayed, but that didn't work for me. That's about it Thanks!

  • HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

    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.

  • How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

    how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

  • ITunes on Win7 and iPhone 3GS Apps frozen - grayed out - Why?

    I use my iPhone 3GS via iTunes on my Win7 desktop, and when I load the iTunes 64 bit software (ver10.4.1.10) it can see the iPhone, and GRAYS OUT installed apps, which I can not move or re-arrange.  I had trouble downloading purchased Apps until I went to my iPhone Update button and installed them from the Purchased bar.  When I 'Synch' the iPhone to iTunes, it only goes through a very quick 'Step 1 of 4' and then stops.  All this after I have uninstalled iTunes and then reinstalled iTunes, so what's on the PC is the most current version.  That version also says my iPhone software is 100% current, and the iPhone firmware reports it is running 05.16.02.   For some reason, iTunes reports multiple copies of the (very few) music MP3s I put on the phone ... I hardly ever use the iPhone for music - it's a tool - not a toy.
    Bottom line: my iTunes software is mostly frozen - I can't move or arrange apps - and I have lots of downloaded data (thank God for GoodReader!) and carefully managed work related Apps on my iPhone.  I'd had to have to 'reformat' or 'restore' the iPhone which I think would strip the iPhone bare.  Can anyone help?    Thanks, in advance ~

    By the way - on a similar posting (frozen icons etc) someone suggested that the iPhone Restrictions might be the problem - they have to be turned OFF - isn't a fix here.  My iPhone Restrictions have not been turned 'on'.  See:   https://discussions.apple.com/message/11085451#11085451  - that didn't 'FIX' my problem.

  • Open itunes when this iphone is connected is grayed out

    Did a search for this and could not find any resolutions.
    For some reason when I connect my iPhone, it automatically opens itunes and starts synching. I have never had it set up to do so, as I want to be able to do it when I have time.
    But I can not stop this from happening. In the summary tab of my iPhone when connected to iTunes the "Open itunes when this phone is connected" selection is grayed out.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem from anyone?

    Found a solution....
    Open iTunes-Preferences-Devices- then uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". select OK.
    Now you have the option to uncheck the 'Open iTunes when iPhone is plugged in'.
    You can also go back and re-check "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" without the problem re-occurring.

  • TS1559 iPhone Wi-Fi settings grayed out

    This is the 2nd time my iPhone wifi grayed out.
    Ever since I update iOS to 6.0.1, the problem keep on going.
    1st time restore, wifi back to normal but some game crashing.
    But 2nd time restore still could not solve the problem.
    Due to this problem, some Apps totally cannot use.
    Anyone can help me ?

  • Music grayed out (on my HOME computer!)

    I understand the iPhone's music contents is grayed out on secondary computers, but my contents are grayed on my home computer. Does anybody have a fix?
    Laptops   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I thought that was how I had it all set up. Here's what I have checked:
    ITUNES PREFERENCES
    "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones" is checked
    IPHONE SUMMARY MENU
    "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" is unchecked
    "Only sync checked items" is checked
    IPHONE MUSIC MENU
    "Sync music" and "All songs and playlists" are both checked
    Everything else in the menus is unchecked, and my music is still grayed out. Am I doing something wrong?

  • Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected, is 'Grayed Out'?

    Itune 11.0..2. / iPhone 5 / Backups > iCloud / Options > 'Grayed out', (not available?) "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected". Why is this grayed out?

    This one was odd:  it stopped after the first sync was finally completed--had to interrupt several times to use the phone away from the computer before all the music and photos were fully reloaded.  Now it waits appropriately for next sync.  This is probably why no one else had seen this or replied.

  • Found almost all of my music--all of the CD music--grayed out this morning. Why is that, and how do I stop this from happening? Second day in a row!

    Yesterday, I wrestled with the iPhone for three hours, trying get my CD library to RE-APPEAR on my iPhone. I finally thought I had--I removed a "bad" artist, and everything was fine.
    Until this morning, when I tried to go for a run and, again, found MY ENTIRE CD LIBRARY--EVERYTHING EXCEPT WHAT I'D BOUGHT THROUGH ITUNES--grayed out again.
    Why is this happening, and what do I do about it?
    Thanks.

    Open itunes.
    Connect ipad. Select what you wan tto sync. Sync. Disconnect ipad.
    Cnnect ipod.  Select what you want.  Sync.

  • Some Menus Grayed-Out Briefly On Photoshop CS5 Startup

    For a second or two right after starting the app most of the menus are disabled (grayed-out), as shown below, and even though Chris Cox says they should, they NEVER become activated as long as the menu is kept open.  I've left it literally for minutes like this just to see.  The duration for this period is just long enough that I can hit the File menu.  The workaround is to click File again (or click somewhere else) to hide the File menu, then click File again.
    I reported this once before and was informed that it must be one of my plugins causing the problem.  In fact disabling some plugins caused it to either seem to disappear or to be a problem for a much shorter time after startup.  At first I thought disabling my Genuine Fractals plug-in cleared it up, but I have seen it happen on my 64 bit Windows 7 system since.
    I've just installed Photoshop CS5 on 32 bit Windows 7, and have done NOTHING more than just start the application - no plug-ins or even preferences changes.
    Clearly, because this is a completely fresh install with no other changes this cannot be a plug-in or Photoshop configuration problem.  Perhaps it could be tied to a WINDOWS configuration preference choice I have made, though, since my 32 bit Windows 7 system has many of the same UI tweaks I've made for my 64 bit system.
    Photoshop 12.0.0 did this and 12.0.1 does it also.  It's the only app I use that does it.
    Certainly this is no more than a minor irritation, but minor irritations have a way of getting to a person, and it would be nice if when I went to do File - Open it was ready for me.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your thoughts, guys.
    My 64 bit system is a pretty highly tuned and well-performing workstation, so my first guess would be that local resources cannot be holding up the process of initialization much. 
    I'm seeing it on both 64 bit and 32 bit Windows 7 systems, both with and without OpenGL enabled.
    An online check seemed plausible, so I fired up the debugging tool "Fiddler 2", and noted that no web communications are occurring at the time of Photoshop startup.
    Could it be other software on these systems?  Not plug-ins - I've ruled them out - but antivirus for example (I use Avast Pro)?  I don't know.  Possible I suppose.
    I can certainly live with waiting a bit longer to use Photoshop.  My main reason for bringing it up again is that Photoshop seems to be doing something different from what Chris Cox says it should be doing (enabling the menu items even with the menu held open), and I wanted him to know that.  Maybe there's something Chris can tweak in the application to get that working better for the next release.

  • Some windows grayed out

    I have two closed windows, canvas and timeline, and cannot figure out how to open them.
    In windows menu they both are grayed out. This has happened some times before, but then got fixed when I opened the project again.
    Now the saved version is the one with windows closed, so do I have to go to restored version or is there a better advices?

  • "Open iTunes when this iPhone is attached" is grayed out

    Hey gang-
    On my iPhone running OS 3.1.2 and iTunes 9.0, "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is grayed out. Any reason this would be?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Edit > preferences > Devices > Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods, check in that box?
    That should make the option you want available and then you can disable the auto-syncing again if you want.
