Ipod classic - sync option is greyed out

Hi, hoping someone can please help. I recently used my ipod classic to transfer music to itunes on a new PC (Windows 7 64 bit).
However, it will not now allow me to sync - this option is greyed out, it will only offer the option of 'transfer purchases'.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can assist!

IPod touch no longer opens iTunes -- option is greyed out in device Summary

I've been using my 1st gen iPod touch with iTunes for two years with no problems. Recently when I plug the iPod into my computer, nothing happens (besides charging). If I manually open iTunes, the iPod does appear as a device, and I can click Sync to get things going -- but the "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" option is greyed out. Anyone know how to get this option back so my iPod will automatically open iTunes when I connect it to my iMac?

Looks like that, or a combination of the two took care of the problem. Yaaaaayyyyyy!
Thanks again for your help. It got a little dicey because without the manage my own files box checked iTunes tried to sync the iPod to iTunes and there wasn't enough room on the iPod for all of the music. Once I got the prevent sync bow unchecked in Preferences and unchecked the manage my files and use disc boxes unchecked I was able to check the start iTunes box and the manage my files box an apply it so that I have the best of both worlds going own.
Life is good!
Thaks again Brother.

Trying to get cd onto ipod touch but snching options are greyed out - I've opted to manually manage.

I'm trying to get CD onto ipod touch. copied it into ITunes library but when I get to synching 'selected playlists etc' all options are greyed out. If I try and clink sync in bottom right hand corner it gives me warning msg that everything already on ipod will be deleted and I don't want that. any ideas?

Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions on your iPod Touch and make sure that restrictions for app installations are turned off.

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

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes, the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

Help - Subclip option is greyed out

I'm trying to make subclips from a long clip but the option is greyed out. What causes this? What are my other options for making subclips? I'm using Premiere Pro 2014 CC. The video and the audio were recorded from two different sources and manually synced up.

- Is the computer authorized for the accounts used on the iPod?
- Was the iPod previous synced to another computer? If so and you want to make this computer your syncing computer see:

Visualizer options are greyed out

I just realized that the Visualizer Options are greyed out for no apparent reason. I checked both the "iTunes Visualizer" and the "iTunes Classic Visualizer" settings to no avail. Is there a way to activate this feature?
I am running iTunes 11.1.0.126 on Windows 7 64-bit.
Thank you.

So does that mean nobody knows how to fix this or nobody cares?

I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post
http://thebigboss.org/guides-iphone-ipod-ipad/dfu-mode
Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

When I load Messages, the preferences option is greyed out

I've synced Messages with my iPhone and my iPad but haven't been able to do so with my iMac. When I activate Text Message Forwarding for my iMac, it won't send a confirmation code to my computer. Also, when I go into Message on my iMac the Preferences option is greyed out.
Suggestions?

Hi,
In iChat and Messages up to version 8 in Mavericks this was solved by going to ~/Library/Preferences and finding the com.apple.ichat.plist and Dragging it to the Trash and restarting the app.
Whilst Yosemite still lists Messages as version 8 it is significantly different.
It seems here the Font AppleGothic.ttf needs to be active (and Validate).
It may be you need to do both as someone in the Yosemite Community did the deletion first then validated the Font before restarting and then getting their window to look "right".

Browse Sequences option is greyed out

Hello everyone,
When I use the wizard to setup my Generate output the Browse
Sequences option is greyed out. The checkbox is in the second
window in the wizard under the Additional Options view.
The navigation buttons for Next, Previous, and Sync TOC in
the webhelp output don't display. However, the close nav pane is
displayed and works fine.
Is there a way that I can enable the browse options in the
output?
thanks
