Songs Are Grey In "Phase" - Solution

Just in case you are going to post a question related to Phase, and the songs in your playlist appear grey and unselectable while in the game.
This only applies to your situation if:
- Your Phase Playlist has synced
- You can see all your songs in the games song list
- Your songs however are grey and un playable.
Solution:
Convert ID3 Tags to v1.0
Go into your Phase Playlist and select ALL OF YOUR SONGS ie. Select the first one, and scroll to the bottom of the list, press and hold shift and select the last song. Then when everything is highlited, right click and select "Convert ID3 Tags" then a window will appear, and select the first option "ID3 Tag Version" and slect from the drop down menu "v1.0". Voila. If it doesn't work, try a different Tag version, but this worked for me. All it takes is some trial and error.
Just thought I'd post that for all you people in this situation, it'll save you some time. Enjoy Phase! Great buy! Awesome game.

Actually all it takes is a sync, iTunes restart and then another sync.

After the latest update to Itunes all my songs are greyed on my computer.

All my songs are greyed and I can´t access my music on my computer. I try a lot of solutions in forums but nothing works.

Hello HectorGtzA,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are using iTunes Match and all of your songs are grayed out. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
Songs appear to be missing
Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
Choose File > Get Info.
In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
Click OK.
Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

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.
hope others find this useful.

Some of my iTunes match songs are greyed out on my iPhone

Hello,
I've had iTunes match since it came out, and it was shaky at first, but started getting pretty reliable a few months ago. However, the last few albums I've added to iTunes match have not been added to the cloud. The songs appeared as "Waiting" for several days until I right clicked and clicked add to iCloud. Once I did that, they showed up on my iPhone and iPad, but now are greyed out on both, even though their iCloud status says "Uploaded".
It gets worse. The last album I dragged into iTunes is stuck on "Waiting". When I right click, I no longer have the ability to add them to iCloud (this may be due to the Yosemite beta – the issue with the greyed out songs has been occurring for a few weeks before I upgraded, though). These songs don't appear on my iPad or iPhone (which I expect), but they do appear on my MacBook. However, when I click to play or download them, nothing happens.
This is very strange behavior, one thing worth noting is, I just crossed 1,000 songs for this artist (I'm a fanatic). I'm not sure if there's a limit of songs per artist, and I haven't counted exactly how many songs are greyed out, but the numbers are definitely close.

Have a look at this: iTunes Store: Troubleshooting iTunes Match
But yes, if you are running OS X beta, you very well could have issues. You should inquire about that in the Developer forums.

All my songs are greyed out on my iPod except for the songs in my itunes library

I have over 10,000 songs on my ipod touch and when I connect to my Macbook Pro and go to itunes it states that there are over 10,000 songs on my ipod, but when I click to play them a little exclamation mark appears before it. (As it does when the source cannot be found.) At the bottom of itunes it still shows a large blue Audio bar stating that I have over 10,000 songs on it somewhere, but I cannot play them. When disconnecting from Itunes the artists and albums are all showing, but as soon as I go into an album all the songs are greyed out. This only just happened yesterday when adding a few extra songs I downloaded to my itunes and dragged and dropped them to my ipod.
Please help me, the data should be on the ipod somewhere, but for some reason I cannot reach it. I do not have a backup, so this is really annoying
Thanks for any help

Try:

The grey-out ones may not be recoverable.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

Manually Manage Music option is GONE...when I plug in my IPHONE (which is already synced to this computer) I can no longer manually manage songs. I have already opted to do this but all my songs are grey and it won't allow me to manage ANY songs?

I cannot delete or add any songs to my Iphone (or my son's ipod) for some reason..all the songs are grey and cannot be manually managed. Any feedback is appreciated.

You will need to restore your phone as a new one using the itunes on your computer. This WILL erase everything on the phone but it will let you change the name of the phone and then you can add content to it.

New 6th generation ipod - loaded my library onto the iPod all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist.

I have purchased a new 6th generation ipod and registered it with Apple- it has loaded all my library onto the iPod but when the library is displayed all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist. Can anyone help me ?

The content that you are viewing on your Nano via iTunes is grayed out since your iPod is set up for automatic syncing with your iTunes library. If you want to be able to manually manage your contents (which is sounds like you are trying to do), you must enable the Manually manage music option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.

Songs are "greyed out"

i loaded songs on this ipod (belongs to my friend) from my itunes. now she's not able to play these songs and the songs are "greyed out" in the playlist i created.

I plugged in my device (iPhone 4) and went to file, next go to the devices section and click transfer purchases from device section (it will have your devices name) then wait patiently. All my songs went from grey to black and were synced onto my phone. I really hoped this helped and didn't just magically work for me!

Songs are greyed out on new iphone

I got a new iphone and a bunch of my songs are greyed out and I cannot play them.

More advanced security on a device as sophisticated as
an iPhone I can live with. This lack of functionality however
is for me a bit of a let down. Given how powerful the device and
it's os is I would have thought providing read only access to certain
files would not have been difficult. The same applies to
blocking the transfer of these files via any other mechanism
than iTunes. Please don't take this the wrong way, I am very
impressed with the iPhone. I was just frustrated when I sat down
in front of my laptop to find I could not plug in the phone and listen
to music via iTunes. This one function that make it dare I say it
keep pace with an mp3 player.

HT204406 Songs are greyed out on my iPhone and I can't play them as I used to before. How do I fix this?

Songs are greyed out on my iPhone 5 even though they were working before. I bought them on iTunes
How do I fix

A song with an iCloud icon has not been downloaded so cannot be deleted. You can prevent it from showing on the iPhone but you can't delete a song that has not been transferred from your iTunes library or that has not been downloaded from iCloud.
Any chance some of the songs were purchased twice - once in the past from a different album and again recently?
To prevent iCloud songs from appearing on the iPhone, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and under Show All, turn Music off.

IPod Touch won't let me transfer songs from iTunes; songs are grey

I got a new iPod touch about a month ago and transferred my entire library (about 6000 songs) just fine. Now, though, I find out that not all songs transferred (initially, I selected my entire library and dragged the songs over...i don't want to auto-sync my library, preferring to manage my library manually). So now, iTunes won't let me drag any songs over, and when I highlight my iPod in the menu, all my songs are grey and I can't select them to edit the information or anything.
Any ideas? thanks, in advance, for your help.

Did you check if the restrictions for iTunes are activated in Settings/General/Restrictions?

HT1386 SOME OF MY SONGS ARE GREY AND HAVE A DOTTED CIRCLE IN FRONT OF THE NAME AND WILL NOT SINC. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Some of my songs are grey in my library, and some of them have a dotted circle in front of the names. They will show up in my library but will not sync to my phone. Any suggestions.

Are you sure you aren't looking at the tracks in your iPhone/iPod?
That greyed out and perforated circle thing happens when your iPhone is plugged in, you are looking at the music in it and some songs are physically in your phone (ready to play) and some are in the cloud (you can download to your phone whenever you want).
I hope this helps
