Iphone on Itunes won't let me select music

Got a new computer, all was going well. Now I find that when I plug in my Iphone Itunes won't let me select music folders to sync, it is all grayed out. It sees the Iphone , charges it and lets me change applications. Just not music or Photos. I removed Itunes then dowloaded it to see if that would help. It didn't.

The iPhone does not support disk mode, and in regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only. When syncing iTunes content and transferring photos from a different computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from another computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
Did you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with photos and all other important data?

ITunes won't let me put music from Frostwire on it

My computer had a trojan on it, but luckily I got it off using Malaware. After I got it off, iTunes will not let me put music from Frostwire on it anymore. Ive done this with hundreds of songs before the virus, but now it won't seem to let me.
Please help me!
Thanks!

I'm not surprised to read you got some malware. It may have come from a Frostwire download.
Downloading "free" p2p music isn't so shiny anymore, is it.
My advice is to get your music from legal sources, and you will have no trouble adding them to itunes.
If I am misunderstanding Frostwire and it's a legal music downloading service, I am sure their support forums can help.

ITunes won't let me select my Denon Receiver via Airplay

When clicking on the airplay button on my iTunes, I can see my Denon Receiver, but when I select the receiver, iTunes tries to connect but it can't make the connection. I have rebooted my MacBook and my receiver is successfully downloading Internet radio and is properly connected to my home network.
Any idea why iTunes won't connect?

I was able to get iTunes to connect, but i'm not sure why what i did worked. First, I reinitialized the connection between my Denon 1912 and my router. The ethernet cable is actually installed into a hub and not my router. Anyway, this made no difference.
Then I went into http://192.168.1.102 which is the address of my Denon receiver on my internet. Using the web interface, i changed the name of the receiver from Denon AVR-1912 (the factory default) to just "Denon" to see if iTunes would pick up the change. Once i saved the new name, I shut down iTunes and then restarted it.
Upon restarting iTunes, the airplay symbol was gone, but within 20 seconds the symbol reappeared in iTunes and Airplay showed the new name of "Denon" as part of the selection. I was able to select Denon as a speaker and everything now works great.

My recently new computer and iTunes won't let me add music to my iPhone. What do I do?

I recently got a new computer. I downloaded iTunes and went to add new music to my iPhone4, but it wouldn't let me add it. When i tried to press "Manually manage music and videos" it told me that since i already synced my iphone to the old computer, i had to erase everything from my iPhone to be able to. I don't want to erase my phone. I'm pretty sure there is another way since people get a new computer everyday, but I don't know how. Help?

Yes... that's the way it works.
You can only sync an iDevice with one computer.
Move or copy all the iTunes content from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.
Then sync the iDevice with the new computer. It will still wipe the device, but at this point it will not matter because all the content will be on the new computer to sync to the device.

HELP! iTunes won't let me put music on my iPod

I need help, whenever i try to transfer my music on to my iPod, for itunes, it won't let me put it on my iPod.
I NEED HELP!!!!!

Okay, I see.
That's most likely because you are automatically syncing your iPod.
If you click on your iPod in the Source List of iTunes, and go to the "Music" tab, you are probably selected for "Sync", and either selected playlists, or all songs.
On the Syncing optoin, you cannot drag files to your iPod without setting up your iPod for manually managing, perhaps just temporarily.
See this for details on manually managing your iPod:

How do I get my music from Media center to my iphone. Itunes won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

Hello and welcome to the support community
As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

Out of no where, itunes won't let me add music to my ipod touch.

I have itunes 10.4.1 and ipod is 4.2.1. Please help, this is so frustrating! It won't let me drag and drop and it won't work by right clicking either.

I had a similar problem recently after an update. Midway through the update, I got a user error that said I had to wipe the device and restore to factory settings. After I did that, I restored from a recent back up. When I did that it would not allow me to add recently purchased music to playlists on the device. I could not figure out how to fix this anywhere. Finally, in iTunes I clicked on my iTouch on the list on the right. Then in the big box on the left I clicked on summary. Then I scrolled to the bottom where "Options" was displayed. I clicked on "Manually manage music and videos" and then "apply". Suddenly, I could add music to my established playlists on my device! Hooray! Perhaps this happened to you and that box is unchecked? Good luck.

ITunes won't let me select show duplicate items on my iPhone 4s.

I can see the option but it is in faded font color and I cannot select it. Pressing shift, or alt, or control does nothing to remedy the problem.
I'm using an iPhone 4S, under the most current iOS (7.1)
Thanks in advance for any help.

Confused? I don't think so...I am now, about whether or not I'm confused.
I wish to remove duplicate songs from the music selection on my iPhone. While in iTunes, I select the iPhone and go to "On This Phone". From there I go to "View>Show Duplicate Items". But the option is hollow-texted, as in:
Show Statusbar
Show Sidebar
Show Duplicate Items
Video Playback
Show Visualizer
When I click on Show Visualizer, nothing happens. I need help to remedy this situation. I posted the topic in the iPhone section, as I don't care about duplicate songs in my iTunes, just the phone itself.
Where am I going wrong here?

ITunes won't let me download music to iPhone 4s or 5

When I attempt to download music to my iPhones it doesn't recognise them

Make sure you are using the correct Apple ID and password.
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores
Make sure either W-Fi or cellular is enabled.

Itunes won't let me select/drag or play music?

I just recently had to delete my old computer account because a virus infected it so I made a new computer account and I re-uploaded my songs to itunes by connected my ipod and clicking "transfer purchases". But now the songs won't play. I can't click on them because the words are lick faded. You know how if you can't click something the print is gray not black? That's what it looks like.
Here's a link but I don't know if you'll be able to see it on this site:
http://s852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/Animatrixette16/?action=view&current=unt itled.jpg
I have back up CD's with most of the songs, so should I re upload with those?
Also I have some songs that I downloaded, and they showed up on my computer account's itunes and they played but the new accounts itunes doesn't play or show the mp3's.
Oh and If you need the model of the ipod, I have an ipod shuffle but it doesn't have a voice over, So I don't know what its called actually...
Thanks in advance

An easy route would be to re-install the latest version of iTunes.
If this does not immediately cure the issue you may need to rebuild your library.

ITunes won't let me select my own music for iPod Mini

Every time I connect my iPod Mini, iTunes generates the following message:
"The iPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in iTunes music library. Would you like iTunes to automatically select a playlist for you?"
If I click the "Cancel" button, the iTunes closes my iPod mini connection. If I click "Yes", I have no control over what iTunes downloads and cannot erase and replace the songs it chooses for me.
I have already removed and downloaded the iTunes and iPod mini and Updater sofware onto my hard drive. What can I do to have more control over what iTunes puts onto my iMini???
Help!!

Go into iPod preferences (while the iPod's attached) and choose "Update selected playlists" and you'll be able to pick the playlists you want on the iPod.
Or you could switch it to manual and drag the songs to the iPod icon . . .

It wants to erase your iPhone because you are not syncing it to the same library.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
iCloud only stores a copy of your non-iTunes purchases if you subscribe to Match. It still isn't the best way to get your music to a new computer. That's
(if you use iTunes' default preferences settings): Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
