Song volume sliders greyed out

I've just installed iTunes 9.0.2 to Windows 7, and though the install appeared to go just fine, some of the songs now have their options completely deactivated, such as their individual volume adjustment, EQ presets, and ability to make part of a gapless album. All of these options are grayed out on some songs, and for others they're still active.
I've authorized the account, made sure sound check is off, and there's no correlation between deactivated options and purchased songs, since both purchased and uploaded songs have this same problem. Is there some other option in iTunes I'm missing?

Check to see if the files are read only, or if they are in a fodler where your account does not have write access permission.

My songs are all greyed out

my songs are all greyed out on my laptop and I cannot get them to play

Will they play one track at a time and then stop, or not at all?
Assuming the former then it is likely that the tracks are unchecked. Go to the Songs view and Ctrl+Click on any empty checkbox to check all tracks.

Songs not syncing - greyed out & dotted circle next to them

When I updated my iPod Touch 5th gen to IOS 8.1 most of my artwork did not sync.
Today I updated to IOS 8.1.1 in the hope this would sort the above problem. SOME of the missing artwork has been restored but not all. however
the recent additions to my library from CD and purchases from a supplier other than iTunes Store are now showing under Recent Purchases and are
GREYED OUT WITH A DOTTED CIRCLE next to them. They are showing & playing correctly in my library on my PC. Can anyone help to explain this.
APPLE - IF YOU WANT TO LOSE LONG STANDING CUSTOMERS YOU ARE CERTAINLY MAKING A GOOD JOB OF THAT WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS !.

Tried to sync again today in hope.
The Good News - All the greyed out & circled items have synced to my iPod.
Now the Weird News - 1) Although the items have synced they still are greyed out with circle when you look at Music under My Device.
2) Of the 6227 items ticked to sync from my library of 8000 there has been 6414 synced - 50 songs purchased very recently from iTunes Store have duplicated & another 137 random songs show a cloud with downward arrow which were items which were unticked in my library so should not have been synced. 3) It is showing 44.14 GB of free space when there is only 2.9 GB of space left.
APPLE - Every time I update or sync my iPod my stress levels now go through the roof. If any other companies goods/services had this much hassle they would be out of business !

When I transfer my purchases from my phone to computer, the songs show up greyed out with a circle with 2 arrows

My songs show up on my computer greyed out and won't play with some sort of refresh circle beside them

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.
hope others find this useful.

Highlight recovery and Black point sliders greyed out.

Hi
Does anyone know if there is a reason that the recovery sliders would be greyed out and non functional for my images.
I have not been able to utilise this function in version two.
NW

did you migrate your RAW files to the new RAW 2.0 convertor ???
i believe that if left at the 1.1 it will prevent you from using the new features ...
migrate is under the file menu ... and can be done project by project, image by image or the whole library at once (very freaking slow if large library) ...

Illustrator colour sliders greyed out

Hi, illustrators CS6 color sliders have greyed out in all color modes CMYK/RGB/Spot and I'd like to get them back so they display the change in color when you slide them around. I've tried trashing preferences which didn't work and googled it but come up with nothing so I've come here to see if anyone knows how to fix this.

Tim,
You may try at least the easier things on the list (5) is irrelevant here, 6) is the most serious one):
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Optical cable is in-volume control greyed out

Hi,
I just wondered if it possible (when using external speakers via optical cable)to control the volume by using the volume control (on the top right of screen)
-my slider is greyed out and the only way I can adjust the volume is within an application itself.
kindest,becca

You're welcome! I think they were trying to make it easier by having a single volume level leaving your Mac and adjusting it only on one device. If you turn down the volume on the Mac and turn it up on the stereo, things could get really loud later when you switch your stereo to the radio!

HT1338 HELP my speakers won't turn on and the volume is greyed out!

iTunes randomly crashed... hard.
I hard rebooted my computer, and now my speakers won't play any sounds.
when I press the volume keys, the logo for speakers is greyed out, and there is a circle with slash to indicate not allowed.
My volume bar in the menu bar is greyed out as well.
What in the name of all things holy is wrong with it and how can I fix it?

I have gone into the sound settings, and my options for output are the internal speakers, and the audio aggregate device, neither of them work.
I have also tried plugging in and pullin out headphones to no effect, and whenever there is headphones inside the jack, the same lack of volume/ volume options happens.
I even tried resetting the special Rama by restarting and holding command+ alt + r + p, and. It made the startup spud, and nothing else.
If someone could help me, I have a gig in a week, and this is not something I really have the time to deal with.
Thanks.

Song titles are greyed out, lock icon on screen in itunes

I'm trying to copy fies to my iPod through iTunes and it seems to be locked. It's successfully connected to iTunes and I see my iPod name/library, however all of the songs are greyed out and theres a lock icon near the bottom of the screen next to the Free 27.13 GB (lock icon next to that).
Is something wrong with my iPod or iTunes? Please help.

That is normal if you are set for auto-syncing the iPod.
If you change it to manual mode, the little lock icon goes away.

Ipod4 syncs music incorrectly with itunes after ios5 update. Playlists list some songs which are greyed out and wont play. Suspect they werent downloaded as Ipod now holds 16 000 songs. Previous max was 9000 songs.

I upgraded to IOS5. Now have synching problems using the USB Cable . I tried everything. Resent the Synch history in ITunes. Unticked all playlists and synched to clear all music etc of the iPod. Reticked items to synch then still have trouble. After it synchs, I see a playlist with some songs in black and some in grey. The black songs play, the grey ones don't. The same songs in iTunes do appear there and will play. I don't have any broken links in my library. Anyone know of a solution.? Synching takes forever and seems to get stuck on importing the pictures for ages. I walk away and next morning it will be finished syncing but with aforementioned problems.

You should send this to Apple.

Boot Volume is greyed out and cannot be mounted.

Hey guys,
I have a Kernel Panic that I cannot get rid of after multiple fix attempts. I cannot boot into Safe Mode which cancels out a lot of options. I have noticed something funny when I boot into the Panther Install disc to use Disk Utility, though.
The drive itself is labeled fine, but my boot disk,(74 gig Raptor, is greyed out and is not labeled as mounted. I try to click on mounted and it doesn't budge.
My storage driver, (250 gigt SATA) is fine however and is mounted properly. I do not have the option to repair or verify permissions on any of the drives but the option to repair the disk is still there.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you have some serious disk corruption. Can you run fsck?
1. Reboot/Startup holding your Command-S key down.
2. At the command line type the following and hit 'Return.'
/sbin/fsck -fy
3. After it has check/repaired your disk, type 'reboot' and hit 'Return' again. Unit will bootup normally.
If this does not work, you may need to try DiskWarrior short of reformatting the drive.

My phone goes silent mid song, the song shows its still playing but no sound. if I try to turn up the volume its greyed out

My phone goes silent mid song. It shows the song is still playing but no sound. If I try to turn the volume up its grayed out...how do I fix this?

try doing a soft reset. push and hold the home button and power button at the same time until the phone powers off completely. only release the buttons when you see the white apple pop back up on the screen if this doesn't work you will likely have to do a complete factory reset which can be found in general settings of the phone. hope this helps!

Songs are all greyed out

I purchased a 30gig ipod video today and I installed all of the software and stuff. And I went to reload my songs from my older playlist (from my ipod photo) and all of my songs on my ipod are all grayed out and unclickable. And there is a little lock in the bottom righthand corner. Has anyone had any problems like these and if so could they help me. please
Windows XP

Normal. You've got automatic update selected.
Switch to manual update if you want to be able to choose and/or play songs directly from your iPod.
If you want to keep the automatic update, just make your changes in your library.
Good luck!
And now would be a very good time to get a back up plan in place. Your iPod is not meant to be the sole repository of your music. A common fix for many iPod problems is to restore it to factory settings, which wipes EVERYTHING off the iPod.
