Itunes music and ipod music are greyed out, can't click them why?

I have about 2,400 songs and only 5 of them i can click and listen on my new ipod touch 5g. i have itunes the newest one, and most of the songs are greyed out also on itunes. so i cant play them on itunes and my ipod. what the ****? i usually download music and drag the file to itunes and also drag it to a folder where i keep all my song files incase it ever needs a "locate file". When i click sync it syncs the music but when it says a song can't be read or written it stops the entire sync process. What do i do?

Do all the songs play in iTunes? If so then:
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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.
-  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • Get and Put options are greyed out in DW CS4

    I am a fairly green Dreamweaver user, and recently (finally) upgraded from MX4 to CS4.  I am trying to get a file from my local c:drive and both the get and put functions are greyed out.  Any idea how to enable these functions?  I do not have the file that I wish to transfer open.

    When you say you are trying to get a file from your local c:drive, dio you mean that you are trying to import a file into your site from elsewhere on your computer, rather than 'getting' it from your remote server.  If you are trying to import a file from your local c:drive don't use the 'get' or 'put' buttons because they are just for remote connections, instead just use windows explorer to locate the file then either copy or cut and paste the file into the folder for your site.

  • The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

    Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

    Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

  • I can't figure out why my reverb and echo things are greyed out

    I can't figure out why my reverb and echo things are greyed out on the bottom right of my screen with the edit tab open for the track. I was going to put a screenshot in here but I couldn't figure it out. I one can understand what I mean. Thank you.

  • The back and forward arrows are greyed out all the time - How can I fix this?

    I am currently using firefox ver 21. However the forward and back buttons are greyed out and will not work. I would be happy to re-install the program but how do I re-install without losing all my bookmarks and settings.
    Please advise.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

    What do you mean by "copy and paste a page"? What tool have you selected? Or are you just assuming you can select stuff and copy/paste as in Word?

  • My new filters tree flames and picture frame are greyed out and not available?

    my new filters tree flames and picture frame are greyed out and not available. what do I need to do?

    It's likely that your graphics card/GPU does not support the new feature. If you are using an older video card or an integrated graphics card that is not new like the Intel Iris or Iris pro than that is likely the reason.

  • Upon starting up my mini mac for the first time I see the welcome screen but the 'go back' and'continue' buttons are greyed out so I cant continue.

    As the title states everytime I boot up my mini mac the 'go back' and 'continue' buttons are greyed out and I cannot continue with the installation. I even went out and bought an external cd drive to try and load the operating system and that did not work either.

    Hi, what OS version is it? And which year Mini?

  • I bought songs on iTunes  via iPhone and now they are greyed out on iTunes and iPhone and will not play

    I downloaded songs from iTunes to my iPhone, after I synced to iTunes most of the bought songs are greyed out on both. What can I do to get these songs back?

    are you absolutely positive they were ringtones? check your music app to see if they are in there. If they are, you downloaded songs and not ring tones.

  • Calendar and contact options are greyed out

    Hi all,
    I wand to sync my contacts and calendar between my iPad1 and my Windows Laptop.
    After installing the icloud sync software, I was only able to check "favourites and photostream" to be synced. The fields mail, calendar and contacts are greyed out and not available to select.
    I have browsed through the Internet, de-installed that software piece and installed it again, not change.
    Passwaords have been corrected according to the iTune needs (8characters, and so on).
    I do not know what to do, any ideas?
    Thanks

  • I want to print. 'selection' and' print frames' are greyed out.

    I want to print info on a page. 'selection' & 'print frames' are greyed out.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == forever

    Hi,
    My dad told me he had this 'no selection' problem when he wanted to print out a selection in Hotmail, so I had a hunt around, but didn't find a definitive solution.
    So, I have done some playing around, and have come up with this solution which works if you want to print out a selection in Hotmail (using firefox), but it is now greyed out.
    It seems to be connected with the way that Hotmail handles frames.
    (Thought I would post it as posts like this have helped me a ton in the past :0))
    '''To print a selection in hotmail you need to do this.'''
    1/ On the email you want to print click the small Printer icon in the hotmail menu.
    There is no need to highlight a selection at this stage because the email is in a frame, so it will do no good anyway.
    2/ A new page will open up and the printer dialog box will open up.
    Close the printer dialog box.
    3/ Highlight the text selection that you want to print on that page.
    4/ Press Ctrl-P on the keyboard.
    5/ The printer dialog box will now pop up again and you will be able to choose 'Selection'
    Your selection will now print.
