THE WIFI OPTION ON MY IPOD TOUCH IS GRAYED OUT AND I CAN'T CHOOSE IT. I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO CONNECT VIA WIFI. HOW CAN I FIX THIS?
Try this Apple article. However, frequently it is due to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Several months ago, I kept getting prompted to 'update' my iphoto library. When I finally clicked on the 'update' button, it 'greyed out' ALL of my photos. Now ALL of my photos are grayed out and I can't see ANY of my pictures unless I click on each grayed out photo individually and open them, ALL of the thumbnails are greyed out. It is THE WORST!! I have no idea how to fix this problem and its been MONTHS AND MONTHS of *** pain. Anyone?? Please help!!!
Thanks so much!!!Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
and please tell us what version of iPhoto and of the OS you have

My IPod Nano is synched to my ITunes library and shows up under Devices, but when I click on the Device name, all of the music is "grayed out" and I can't click on anything.
In order for this content to not appear grayed out, you need to enable the Manually manage music option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. Keep in minding that manually managing your iPod's contents is different from having content automatically sync to your device from iTunes. See here for more information.

If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T. When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.
If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected? -

Just last week, I plugged in my iphone 3g into iTunes and for some reason I can't edit my apps anymore. All the other tabs (music, video, etc.) are all fine, but my apps tab/screen is all grayed out. I can't edit any of my apps now. What's the deal? I can't seem to find anything similar on the support pages, so I'm desperate to find out what the deal is...please help!
Yes, it's checked as it's how I left it when I was able to edit the page before...now the whole tab is just grayed out and I can't check or uncheck anything. Nothing happens. So frustrated...thanks for any help or suggestions. I have multiple devices on my account and this is the only one that this is happening with when I connect to iTunes. Ugh!

My music is grayed out and I can't delete the songs?
A while back, I tried to delete all the music off of my iPhone 5 to make room. I think I tried to delete it from iTunes on my PC. However, it didn't delete. The 90 songs remain on my iPhone, but are grayed out. I have tried almost everything to delete the music - it doesn't take up any room, but it's annoying, and I can't add any music to my phone now. Has this happened to anyone else before? And how can I remove the music?
Try signing out of your apple ID and signing back in. I saw another post where that worked for at least one person.
(Settings>Store>tap ID, sign out, sign back in) -
I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?
Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document. -
I changed my apple ID on my Macbook but I am unable to sync calendar from my iphone 4s. When I go to settings in the phone, my old ID is there, but it is greyed out and I can't change it. I was able to change the app store ID, but the one in iCloud settings seems stuck. Any suggestions??
You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
Have you seen this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device. -
Illustrator .ai file grayed out and I can't import
I am trying to import or import as project an illustrator file and the file is grayed out. I can import pdf's, but does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to import an .ai file? TY.

I haven't tried with the CS4 version of Illustrator, but if you turn on the PDF-compatibility option when saving .ai files, Motion can read them.
I'm actually working with CS4 and, yes, this (as PDF compatible) does work. Of course, it's a flattened (single layer) file.
I keep PDF compatible on by default, so I'm at a loss as to why it wasn't working for me last week, but thanks for the correction. -
I am trying to import my Explorer favorites. When I go to the "file" menu, "import" is grayed out and I cannot use it to get to the next step.

IPad has grayed out boxes I can't open them nor delete them what are these for
Grayed out icons on my iPad I can't delete or opens these grayed icons
We don't have any idea what they are without some more information from you. If they are apps, then the names of the apps should be under the grey icons. Are there any names under the icons? What do the icons look like? Can you post a screenshot?
HHold down on the power button and then press the home button until you hear the sound of a camera shutter and the screen will flash white. That's how you take a screenshot. The screenshot will be saved to the camera roll and you can post the screenshot in your reply by tapping on the camer icon in the editing box.
You will have to post the screenshot on your computer. Safari on the iPad does not have that capability. -
