Ipod says no wi-fi (grayed out).

I have reset network settings, restored to factory setting, cleared cache,cookies, etc.  Our other 3  ipods work, so it is not our home network.  Is there anything else to try?

Not a good sign. It is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • HT4946 My iPod connection to wifi is grayed out. My iPod won't connect. The only thing that has changed is that I downloaded the iTunes software as requested. What do I do now?

    I connected my wifi to my iMac and was asked if I wanted to download the most current update. I backed up my iPod and did the download. My iPod was able to connect to the internet at my friend's house, but it hasn't been able to connect since then, and the connection to wifi is grayed out. Nothing has changed with the network; just the updated software.
    The update occured on 06/08/13 at 10:41 PM
    Please help.

    First, 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 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.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • 1st gen iPod touch wifi connection issue, grayed out wifi area in settings

    I have a first generation iPod touch and I'm having difficulty connectiong to wifi.  It tells me there is "no wifi" and the wifi area in settings is grayed out.  I have never encountered this problem in the seven months I've owned this device.  My wifi is currently being used by the other three devices that normally share it with my iPod, and they're running just fine as usual.  I've already tried restoring my iPod, as well as updating my iTunes to the newest possible software, then restarting the computer.  I've looked through all of Apple's troubleshooting guides, to no avail.  Any tips from people who've had the same issue or actually understand technology?  All help is greatly appreciated!

  • I am trying to sync my new iPod classic and "Sync" is grayed out

    I have tried everything. Updated iTunes, verified my User id and password, nothing is recognizing the "new" used iPod. When I plug it in to the PC, iTunes is not automatically turning on. When I open iTunes, I go to Devcies, but "Sync" is grayed out. Also, the iPod has started to "Connect" to PC and then automatically starts the "OK to Disconnect" without me doing anything at all. I am floored at this point and don't know what else to try. My old iPod was the original Classic from like 2005ish and it's hard drive just went wonky. I never had an issue with it and iTunes at all.

    Hello Aerogenous,
    I know having a device you can't use can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
    Warning: Because restoring erases all the songs and files on iPod, back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see this document for more information.
    After you perform the restore, you should attempt to sync your content again. Keep in mind that iPods are meant to sync with one computer and one iTunes library. 
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • How can I uncheck "Enable disk use" in iTunes for my iPod? The option is grayed out, and permanently checked.

    When I plug in my iPod Nano (6th generation) and launch iTunes, the device appears in the sidebar as normal, but the option to check or uncheck "Enable Disk use" in the Summary pane for the iPod is grayed out. Currently, the box is checked, so "Enable disk use " is turned on -- but what I want to do is UNcheck it and turn it off.
    But nothing I've tried so far has successfully ungrayed the "Enable disk use" box. Help!
    Question: How can I ungrey the "Enable disk use" option in my iPod's Summary panel in iTunes, allowing me to uncheck it?
    Alternately, is there any other way to turn off "Enable disk use," using some esoteric workaround? Thanks!

    Set it to sync automatically. Disabling that option isn't possible for an iPod set to sync manually, as it shows up as a disk as part of the sync process, and iTunes has no way of knowing when you're done syncing an iPod set to do so manually.

  • IPod Video - iTunes - iPod Options - Videos - All options grayed out?

    So how do I get this so I can use it? Right now, I can only get videos on my iPod by dragging them onto the iPod (e.g. an iPod only playlist).
    This iPod options tab implies I could sync up using a directory, like with photos.
    Am I missing something?

    I mention Photos only because that works the way I'd expect - I tell it to sync with the "Pictures" directory on my hard drive, and every time I plug in the iPod, all new photos are sent over without me having to do anything. (Although it would be nice if photos handled more than one directory deep when browsing on the iPod, but since it's fast, it's good enough).
    I've got a directory on my hard drive called "Videos-Portable" that I'd like to point to, and have new videos transferred each time I plug in the iPod, preferably with at least one directory deep (like Photos).
    Music I can just copy over as I want it, since that's actually my least use of the iPod. But I'm willing to set music up so that I can get the videos sync'd the way I want (like the way Photos works). I just transferred a couple thousand songs over to the iPod, and given the iTunes question that popped up when I attempted to switch the synch type (and then cancelled), it sounds like it's going to delete all the music I just transferred, but I'm willing to do this once again if it means I get what I want from Videos.
    Makes sense?

  • I have an app that says waiting and is grayed out but when I look in the app store it only gives me the option to open it - I have tried rebooting, signing out and back into the app store - not sure what to do?

    And of course it is my Candy Crush app so I am being tortured!  Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?  Thanks!

    I reset my iphone, and pandora was installed in the same folder I had it on my iphone 4.  Problem solved!

  • So, I have had the Ipod 4th generation for about a year now, and I have never had any trouble adding music onto my ipod until this latest version of itunes came out. Now, I cannot add any more music onto my ipod! I Have grayed out songs that I can't play

    So, I have had an Ipod touch (fourth generation) for a little less than a year now, and I have never had any problems with it until the latest version of itunes came out. Now, my ipod never can sync (I left it up for an hour before and it only got to step 2 out of 7), and I can't add any more music to my ipod! To make it worse, about 100 songs that I had deleted off my ipod, but could still be found in my itunes library, appeared again on my ipod! But, they are grayed out and I can't listen to them so they just take up space.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

  • Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    I have a similar problem.  Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out.  I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
    I don't know what to do.  here's the situation:
         1.  I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
         2.  Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
         3.  I navigate to the location of the song
         4.  I import it.
         5.  I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
         6.  I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod.  When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
    I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem.  Even others that I've purchased through Amazon.  What is so different this time?  I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store.  Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon).  WHY ???

  • Ipod set to manual, video options grayed out, no copying

    First, I was experimenting, which is why I am having the following issue. My ipod 30gig Video was formatted on Windows XP when purchased. I decided I wanted the new update, but to do that I had to get rid of everything and use the iPod CD to convert the iPod to a Mac format. I used PodUtil and copied every song and video purchased from Mac and stored them on my computer hard drive. The format to mac was flawless, even re-importing all the songs and videos into my iTunes library. I copied all the songs back into my iPod, no problems. Problem now...none of the Clone Wars, Avatar or other videos will copy to my iPod. I can highlight all of them , drag them to the ipod and get the green plus sign, but no copying occurs. Under iPod>options>videos, everything is grayed out. I can't choose anything. Under iPod>options>Music, it is set to manage playlists and music manually. So, how can I get my legally purchased Mac videos into my iPod now? Videos I have edited in Final Cut Pro and exported in the iPod format copy over flawlessly. For a tedious solution, I could import all the videos bought from apple into final cut pro and re-export them as iPod formats and then import the newly converted versions back into my iPod, but there is no garauntee that will work. Any ideas ?

    Hold down the ⌥ and ⌘ keys while connecting your iPod. Keep them down until iTunes has opened and your iPod shows in the Source list.

  • Grayed out songs on iTunes despite "Manage music and videos manually" being checked.

    I had to restore my iPod, and when I synced it after the restore, the songs were gone on my iPod like it is supposed to be, but on iTunes they are still there but grayed out. I have already done the "manage music and videos manually" thing, I delete all of the grayed out songs and try to add the songs from my library back to my iPod, but they are still grayed out. Please help if you can, I would greatly appreciate it.

    I don't use manually manage so I'm at a loss as to why anyone would.
    However, if I was Syncing my iPod to iTunes, then the picture you have posted would be just like that while iTunes was busy putting my music back onto my iPod. That's what the little double-arrow icon means; it's a list of files that you have asked to be put on the iPod (in my case, by Syncing the ticked items in my Library and in yours - apparently, by manually dragging them from the library to the iPod).
    As each file is successfully added to the iPod, the progress arrows icon disappears and the song (file) name is no longer greyed out.

  • All my songs are grayed- out in itunes

    I got a new itouch. I used my cousin's itunes to sync songs and videos (since i was spending christmas/news years there) now that im home, i "erased and sync" and even restored it so i can sync with MY itunes. The problem is now that some of my songs are on my ipod, in itunes they are grayed-out (as in i cant click on it). Can anyone tell me why and how i can fix it? Do i have to restore my ipod as new or something?

    H Again: OK, new things to try. I see you are on Windows, so it may look a little different than what I see. With your iPod Touch (IPT) connected, click on the IPT name in the left pane, you should now see several tabs, click the "summary" tab, one of the options at he lower part of this pane is "Manually manage music and videos". Now click on the "music" in the left pane, under your IPT. Are the songs accessible now? It did change on mine when I made this change.
