Missing a few songs off of every album on my iphone 5. The songs info still displays but is greyed out and will not play. after selecting it on my phone it will then sync in itunes.

I could go through all the albums on my phone and tap each song then re-sync but that would take forever. is there an easy solution to this. It happened after i updated Itunes to 11.1.1. All the music info is there on my iphone 5 but the music is gone. after I try to play it it turns grey and a square with a circle surrounding it appears next to the song title. When I next sync my phone that song or songs I tried to play will finally sync with my phone. How do I fix this?

Ok after reading a few posts I relalise you can not down grade os on iphones and never have been able to.
But how come I can't factory reset my phone properly? sure factory reset will mean it will reset the phone and its os to the os that it built with with was ios5?

  • I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

    I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

    So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.

  • After ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

    after ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

    did uncheck all music and resynced afterwards. Got all my music back on the phone. Next morning, the phone had greyed out 1/3 of the songs all by itself. Seems to have something to do with syncing over wifi. No solution yet other than resyncing all my playlists one by one,
    Combined with a battery that drained 5% every 5 minute before I reset the network settings, I am not impressed with Apple's premature launch of their new os. This is what beta testing is for, folks. The iPhone should be done with the growing pains. Shame.

    Follow the steps in the article below to try and resolve the issue:

    If after all the steps the issue remains I'd suggest to book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store to have your iPhone evaluated or contact AppleCare for assistance.

  • My password lock cannot be turned off (button is greyed out and does not react) and I cannot set to "simple" password (4 digits) for the same reason (button greyed out)

    Today, I got a message from my iphone 4 telling me that my password was expired and that I had to change it.
    Now I am forced to enter a 8 character long password and I cannot turn off the password lock (button is greyed out and does not react) and I cannot change to "simple" code.
    I am so upset that I am considering throwing the bloody thing to the rubbish bin
    Can you help?

  • IPhone 4s Almost all songs and all videos greyed out and will not play

    I bought the iPhone 4s yesterday and have been beating my head against the wall over this problem all night.  I only have about 2,000 songs on the iPhone and about 10 videos.  Some of the songs will play, but all others are greyed out and all videos are greyed out.  When plugged into iTunes the same problem is there, the same songs that do not play are greyed out while the ones that will play are not grey. 

    I've had this issue before. The greyed songs in iTunes are because the original music files have been moved on your computer and itunes can't find them.  Delete all your grayed out songs (might be easier to select all and delete all) ; then drag them all from your music file/folder back into your itunes... then resync.
    Good Luck

  • TS1717 I have logged onto Itunes and all my songs are greyed out and I cannot play any of them.

    I have paid for a year to have Itunes available on another computer but when I go in, all the songs are there but they seem to be greyed out and none of them will play.  I cant seem to find out what is wrong here.  I have checked my account and its all up to date.  I only have the two computers running on this scheme.  Any suggestions?  (I am not computer literate so please advise for a novice).  The main computer for Itunes is XP and the second computer is Windows 7.

    Try:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    The grey-out ones may not be recoverable.

  • LT graphics are greyed out and will not load into FCP4.5

    Hello All,
    We have LT1.2 and FCP4.5 and everytime we create a text graphic in LT we have to render a QT movie or FCP does not see the file when using import file in FCP.
    The .ipr files are greyed out and therefore they will not import into FCP.
    Thanks for any ideas. I did here one idea about re-installing FCP and LT.
    Alex

    No. I doubt it has anything to do with sequence settings. That has happened to me on occasion but not for quite a long time. I was able to drag and drop the file into FCP when that happened.
    I don't remember it happening since the last update or two.

  • Itunes will not let me sync my music after downloading IOS 7 the music is greyed out and will not transfer to my iPhone

    Hello, so I have an iphone 4s and just put the update for ios 7 onto my phone but I am having trouble syncing the previous music onto my music app. Itunes will not sync my songs and when i click the "On this Phone" button it shows the songs i want but they are greyed out with a circle next to them. Idk what this means

    You cannot drag a song to Touch. It forces you to be organized. Make a list in itunes then drag that list to the Touch icon in the side bar. That should work.

  • Can i backgrade my iphone 4s from ios6.0.1 to ios6? - Wifi is greyed out and will not switch on, tried factory reset but keeps restoring to ios6.0.1, please release ios6.0.2 ASAP apple!

    So yeah I recently upgraded to iOS 6 fine no problems, a few bugs here and there regarding txt shortcuts not working when imessages switches back to sms when loosing 3g but nothing major.
    Then a few weeks ago I updated to iOS 6.0.1 as I thought maybe a few bugs would be fixed.  I backed up my phone (for the first time with iTunes).  Then after the 6.0.1 update I had (as it seems a lot people have had) a problem with the wifi not switching on and being dimmed out.  I tried various "reset the phone" "reset the network settings" options that people have put on these support forums.  So my last option was to reset the phone to factory settings- I did this two times, firstly reseting it to factory settings and restoring it to the back up, then reseting to factory settings and setting the phone up as new.  After doing this second reset my phone did not go back to iOS 5 (which is factory settings) but iOS 6.0.1 and I still have the same Wifi problem.
    Apple- please release 6.0.2 ASAP, this bug is costing me ton of 3g data as I use my iPhone regularly for work and use it at home all the time.
    Is there anyway I can back grade to ios5 or ios6?
    PLEASE HELP!!
    thanks

  • We are on our network and webpages will load but stay greyed out and not usable??

    We have tried to access from different networks with the same result. Just received this ipad2 2 weeks ago.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
