Itunes match not working. Itunes match will grey out songs that i have on my iPhone, that were fine before i signed up to itunes match.

Hey
Itunes match will be in a loop. I have unlimited internet but it does take up bandwith. The worse problem is it can never finish step three. I have tryed signing in and out of my apple ID, but that does not seem to help. I go to my iphone and it has songs that are localy stored on it greyed out, like what people are saying about songs they have in the cloud. I can figure it out, i tryed these steps of getting the song off icloud, bring it back in, the uploading it. It just does not seem to be doing anything for me, pleas help!

Hi,
What is the iCloud status of these tracks?
You can add icloud status column to song view - go to menu > view> view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been Matched, Uploaded, Purchased, Inelligible, Duplicate or Waiting.

ITunes Match is driving me crazy! Greyed out songs on my devices

I add a new song to my library in iTunes on my Mac, and then select "Update iTunes Match" from the Store window.
Then I go to my iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) to see if they appear. They do, but they are always greyed out. This happens EVERY time. (Note: after being added to iCloud, the song is also greyed out and unplayable in iTunes on my Mac.)
I've searched threads here for solutions, and have tried them all. They work for a short time, but this issue always comes back.
Is there anything I can do, other than disabling Match completely?

This is an issue that appears on lots of other threads currently (see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6355061?start=15&tstart=0)
The problem we are having as users is getting Apple to acknowledge this, many of us have called and tech support gives "hmm....looks like a server issue but can't be sure".
Best thing you can do is either call tech support or leave feedback here:

Its very frustrating, but moreso because this is a paid service. Our first hurdle is in getting Apple to acknowledge that a problem exist, so the more people that call tech support the better.

Thanks, but i'm not sure that i set up find my iphone.
Well, any easy way to find out is to do as I suggested, login to iCloud.com & try to locate the phone. Have you bothered to try that?
If that doesn't work, you'll have to let your battery run out, then try recovery mode.

Back button forward button, refresh and cancel button all do not work they are always grey out and the drop down history by forward arrow doesn't work either

when I go to another website the back button to the home button never works. the home button works. I can't do any or the above mentioned features

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Lightroom " Edit in" menu drop to work on Photoshop is grey out?

Lightroom “ Edit in” menu drop to work on Photoshop is grey out, even though I have my “store preset with this catalog” unchecked. Do I have to reinstall LR?

Your photos are never "in" the catalog. The catalog just points to your images in their folders on your hard drive. Do you understand what smart previews are and how they are supposed to be used? Are your images on an external hard drive that is disconnected from your computer?

Greyed-out songs problem

First off, I'd like to start by saying that I'm sorry if I there are other threads that already talked about this. I tried googling for solutions, but I could not find any one article that could help my current problem.
After downloading my songs onto my iTunes, I tried to sync the songs to my iPhone. That's when the "Greyed-out" songs started showing up. In the Library itself, the songs are normal, playable. But under "Devices" -> Music, the songs appear "greyed-out" with a circle being created with two arrows that do not move. Furtherrmore, the "grey-out" song(s) does not sync to my iPhone. Below is a picture of the problem.
Again, the song is plays perfectly fine in the Library. However, it will not play under the Devices -> Music category nor will it appear on my iPhone. Please help me. I am tired of this problem and would like a quick solution. If there was a thread with the exact same problem, please post the link to said thread IF there is a solution. It is much appreciated.
I already tried one of the solutions that worked one time but doesn't seem to work now. The solution involved logging out of one's Apple account then logging back in. As I said, this one doesn't seem to work for me anymore. Any help and input is appreciated. Thanks.

All right I have figured out "my problem" with the Greyed-out playlist
1. I backed up my music files to an external hard drive and an old iPod that I had. I did not remove anything from my iPhone 4s or update it, I left it alone.
2. Completely removed iTunes from my computer ( this will work for a PC only,I don't own a mac)
     control panel, remove iTunes
     Start menu>Search bar> "regedt32"   (this opens your registry, you may be prompted "Windows need your permissions to continue" just click continue)
     Once your registry is opened
make sure "computer" is selected
press "CTRL + F"
search iTunes
delete all associated files, extensions etc with "iTunes"
after all that is completed restart, its Microsoft
3. Open up your Internet browser and download the latest and greatest iTunes and install it on your computer
4. After you install the program DO NOT CONNECT YOUR iPod or iPhone
5. Open iTunes> Store> Authorize this computer
If you get the "iTunes hangs on access iTunes store" follow these steps, my iTunes did this
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt
(Win 7/Vista) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 an above) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in netsh winsock reset Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now. My iTunes started working
6. I connected my old iPod, it populated my playslist/songs/movies I was using before
After this loaded I connected my iPhone and to my surprise my phone started automatically syncing
All 3000 songs are now able to be played on my phone, now all I have to do is update the Mrs. phone tonight
I hope this helps you and your problems with the infamous "greyed-out playlist"
Cheers,
The_Quacks

Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing. Anyone have a solution?

I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing. Some songs won't play at all even though they do appear in the itunes store. The artwork almost always shows u blank until you turn it to landscape then it will appear. Anyone know what's going on?

I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****...

ITunes recognizes my device but the device does not show up for me to work with. Any idea where I go to access to device in iTunes. Going to File/Device is greyed out.

I think this article will help you.

The search function in the itunes store does not work. It will accept a request and suggest searches but then it locks up and will not search. Clicking on the magnifying glass or a suggested search does nothing. Re-installing itunes has not helped.

My ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out

my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings. I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill.
After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

Why does iTunes keep giving me bogus error messages. "Your internet connection is not working, check your connection and try again." My internet is working fine. iTunes is not working and will not allow me to download tunes.

This my sound too simple, but I just kept clikning on the arrow next to the selected music and it finally "Kicked" in.

Hi, I have connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, backed it up and then started the update but there was a problem, now my phone will not work, it asks to restore factory settings which I have tried 3 times, each time it says the device has an unknown error.

Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help. Thanks Apple for such a crappy update! I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone. Sheesh! If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.
