Ipod music is all grey, can't add music

Updated itunes, now on my ipod all the music is grey and i cant add any new music.. What do I do?
I cant edit or add any new music or videos.
Thanks!

Smorena,
It sounds like you are trying to manually manage your iPod's contents. In order to do this, you'll need to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.

I already have an ipad, iPhone and iPod on my iTunes. Can I add my wife's iPhone to my iTunes?

I already use iTunes for iPhone4, iPad and iPod classic. Can I add another iPhone4 now my wife has one? If I already set up an Apple ID for her, do I now need to keep the two separate or can I simply erase that Apple ID and put all devices and Itunes through the one Apple ID/iTunes?

It's alright, I don't have a Mac so I get confused too. The option key should be somewhere to the left of the space bar and look like it is trying to represent railway points.
I don't know how migration assistant works, but presumably it has dumped an iTunes folder somewhere on the Mac. Inside that should be a file called iTunes Library.itl that is the core of the library. Unfortunately iTunes "thinks different" so we can't just double click the file to open it, that opens whatever the "current" library is instead, so you'll need to hold down option (shift for Windows) to get a dialog to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the relevant file.
If iTunes can't play your music at this point and gives the exclamation mark of doom then we need to go back to the Windows 7 library, tweak it up for easy export then bring it over again. Overview here. Customized instructions on request.

Why are my iPod's contents all greyed out when viewed from iTunes?

I have a 5th gen iPod nano, with software version 1.0.2
I have sync'd the iPod with the content I have in iTunes. Now when I try to look at any of the content on the iPod via iTunes (by connecting the docking cable, and clicking on the iPod under "DEVICES"), everything is greyed out. I can't play any of the music or modify any of the information, like volume adjustment or equalizer presets.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it? I already tried restoring the iPod and re-syncing everything. It worked for awhile and then the same thing happened.

Click here and follow the instructions.

Hi Pace,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Does your iPod show up on the desktop. You may want to look at...
"The Five Rs"
Knowledge Base Document #60950 on iPod missing in iTunes and Mac desktop
Knowledge Base Document #93718 about iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes
iPod FAQ says,
"Question: I have both a Mac and a PC. Will my iPod work on both?
Answer: No, not at the same time. iPod is configured for either Mac or PC. You can use the iPod Updater to restore iPod to work with a Mac or a PC (depending on which version of the updater you use). See "Restoring iPod to factory settings" for more information. Note: Using the iPod for Mac on a PC, or using the iPod for Windows on a Mac, is not supported by Apple. FAT32 is the format used by Windows, and while some FAT32 iPod models may work with your Mac, Apple only supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac.
Question: Can I use an iPod formatted for Mac on a PC, or an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac?
Answer: It is not possible to use an iPod formatted for Mac with Windows. This is because Windows does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive.
You can convert an iPod formatted for Windows into an iPod for Mac by using the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple website. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac.
Note: Using the iPod for Mac on a PC, or using the iPod for Windows on a Mac, is not supported by Apple."

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I do not understand you question/problem.
What does "not able to restore from backup because his iPod is all" means.
Also, there is no viewable photo in your post.

Backup from XP - Windows 7 - not all albums can be added

Hi guys,
First time poster, so go easy on me.
It was my birthday last week, and ended up getting an Ipad bought for me. For the last 3 years i have used I tunes on my old xp tower, but its very old, very slow, and while it is ok for adding the odd track to my ipod, it doesnt really get used very often.
So with the new ipad, i decided to finally take the plunge and transfer the libary from the xp tower, to my windows 7 laptop. Iv done this before when reformatting my PC and it worked fine, it kept all my songs, all the play counts, all the ratings, so thought it shouldnt be too much of a problem.
Backed up the whole "my music" folder onto my external hard drive, transfered the itunes folder with libary and the tbl file ( cant remember correct extention sorry).Loaded up I tunes on my laptop, loaded the libary etc, and the bulk of the music was in itunes (albiet with a billion duplicates).
Started making myself at home, deleting duplicates, re arranging play lists etc, and noticed that album x, y and z ( to name but a few), were missing. I couldnt find them in my itunes folder, so presumed my old Itunes was grabbing them direct from my music. Anyway, located the folders in my music (the folder is anally easy to navigate). Transfered the albums to my laptop. In itunes, selected add folder, found the album, hit ok, and..... nothing. It just wouldnt add the folders. Makes you question how many other albums havnt been added that Im unaware of.
Initially i thought maybe it was a compatability issue, or the files were the wrong file type, but they all seem to be mp3. Interestingly, i know the files are ok, because they are still on my PC's itunes, and more importantly on my ipod.
so, short story, how can i add this mystery files, how can i retrieve the playcount (considering importing the two libary files didnt work) and finally, where is the nearest donut van, because after this post i think i deserve a break.
Cheers in advance, all the best
Kris

Haha, I would like to see a donut van right about now, too!
+how can i retrieve the playcount (considering importing the two libary files didnt work)+
That is stored in the itunes database file, which is named iTunes Library.itl
If you copied your entire music file to the exHD and then moved that to windows 7 it should have gotten moved over.
Something must have gone wrong with that, if your play counts & music isn't showing up.
+In itunes, selected add folder, found the album, hit ok, and..... nothing.+
MP3 files not adding or playing in itunes usually means corrupt mp3 headers. Run one of those files through MP3 validator to start; if that's hte issue, run more of them through after you're sure how it works.
Here is a good web page on that
http://trevinchow.com/blog/2008/09/17/fix-for-mp3-songs-not-playing-in-itunes/
Some of your files may have become corrupted through the years with all the moving around esp if your PC isn't on a surge protector strip.

Can not add movie to itune

Hi,
I just set up new itunes for ipod touch but i just can not add movie file (mp4) to library in itunes. Please help! Thanks so much!

Make sure you're looking for it in the Movies or TV Shows libraries, or do a search for it by name.
Did you check if the format is compatible with iTunes (QuickTime plays more formats if you have add-ons)?
"but when I open that file with itunes"
This statement confuses me as your point 1/ says you can't find it in iTunes.

How can i add two values under the same property?

Hi all,
How can i add two values under the same property name in a
prop list? For example:
[question1: "item1","item2", question2: "item3","item4"]
To be more precise, i am creating a property list and I want
whenever a two values have the same property name to be added int
he list under the same property. For example:
gMyList.AddProp (#""&question&"" & x,
member("input").text)
question is a variable that is updated fromt he user's input.
Now, whenever somethign like this happens:
question = "question1"
member("input").text = "five"
question = "question1"
member("input").text = "six"
I want to output list to be:
[question1: "five","six"] and so on
Any ideas?

Maybe you could make each property a list (so you have a
property list full
of lists), and add multiple values to the list held in a
particular
property?
Cheers

How can i add STORAGE LOCATION field which is not...............

hi,
sap gurus,
good morning to all,
how can i add STORAGE LOCATION field which is not in the standard tables namely
KOMP, KOMK, and KOMG.
how to include it in our FIELDS FROM FIELD CATALOGUE.
if we include this field is there any impact on the standard tables.
plz let me know this.
bcz
we are selling our products in two ways
(1). one is straight from factory ie direct sales from factory
if customer asks for excise invoice then we will sell thru factory and keeping freight in mind we will
deliver him which ever is economical either rail or road.
before coming to second case of selling the goods
we will do STOCK TRANSPORT ORDER from plant to different storage locations.
if we did STO thru road we have to sell the goods thru road only.
if we did STO thru rail we have to sell the goods thru rail route only.
(2). if the customer is not asking any excise invoice then we will send the goods thru depo/storage
location which is not registered under excise.
if the goods came by road then it will be delivered by road only.
if the goods came by rail then it will be delivered by rail only.
my logic here is
basing on the
storage location, transportation types, and distance i want to create condition record
that captures exact frieght at the sales order level.
confirm whether i am right or wrong.
regards,

Hi,
It is not recommended to add new fields to any SAP standard tables. It disturbs the whole SAP functionality.
But if you have no choice expcept to change the standard tables to meet your requirement - then you need an access key to modify the object, which is available from the market place.
Nevertheless, the better option is to create a 'Z' table with the required fields and use that accordingly.
Changing standard tables will have serious impact when you apply patches or do an upgrade on the existing functionality.
REWARD POINTS IF HELPFUL

How can I add a line item to delivery?

Hi all,
How can I add a line item in a delivery without using BDC?
Regards!
Curtis

Hi,
I have tried
BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE
and this only allows you to change existing lines not add lines.
Since its outboud delivery that I'm interested in I will not look at the inbound that you suggested.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards!
Curtis
