Songs greyed out whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes?

I own an iPod touch 4G. The problem I'm having is whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes, a certain 6 songs show up as "greyed out" and are listed as the most recently added songs. It's not a huge problem but it's bothersome. One of the songs, "Survival" by Muse is on my iPod, the exact same version I purchased and it is not greyed out and I can play it normally. The other songs I don't have on my iPod (not from their respective albums at least, but from a compilation I purchased). They do not show up greyed out on my iPod music, just on iTunes under Music under my iPod name. I don't know why these 6 songs show up greyed out, there's no reason they should. Please help me get rid of this so I don't have to deal with it again!

Try a new cable and different USB port
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Whenever I connect my iPod touch 5th generation to the charger and turn it on, my touch sensor seems to stop working so I cant unlock my iPod without having to take out the charger. Whats wrong with it?

    I got this iPod about 3 weeks ago. Whenever I connect my iPod to the charger the touch sensor seems to stop working. When my alarm goes off in the mornings i have to unplug the charger to stop the alarm. I cant do anything while the charger is connected. Any ideas what the problem is or how I can stop this happening?

    A few other users have report the same but I have not heard of a solution. Y can try:
    - Another cable
    - Another USB port
    - A wall charger
    - 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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                     
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why are songs greyed out in my itunes

    Why are songs greyed out on iTunes?  The songs will play within iTunes, but will not sync with my iPod Classic 160G.  How do I correct this situation?

    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

  • Songs greyed out after hard disk failure

    Hi,
    I've been looking though the many, many () posts on here regarding songs greyed out and unplayable but none seem to match my exact problem.
    I recent had the hard-disk fail on my macbook so, as a temporary mesasure I had to use a smaller, spare hard-disk I had lying around until I could buy a replacement.
    Having de-clutered my life some time ago from keeping my music on CDs I had a lot of music on my phone which I didn't want to lose. I downloaded iExplorer and attempted to move my music across however a lot of my songs are now greyed-out on my iPhone and do not appear on iExplorer.
    Did I lose everything?

    Many thanks!
    Your advice pushed me to reinstall.
    I entered the licencing info from a popup that appeared after launching LR5 and just did what required. It worked just ok!
    At first installation, I closed the popup with the idea to check my LR-Photo-archive in first step. Once I could check that all my pictures were ok, I entered manually the licence data from <help> + <LR registration>; registration steps and program behaviour were slightly different and were unsuccessful each time I tried.
    I have to tell that my current LR5 licence is issued from upgrade from LR4... may be licence number required were first previous one or I entered the bad one...
    Anyway, happy that recovery and reinstalling process ran properly.
    Thank you again.

    To connect my ipod to itunes with windows 8 not see the option to add to add songs from itunes library. As I can solve this?

    Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

  • ITunes "encounters" a problem whenever i connect my iPod

    Hello.
    I have a problem with iTunes. Whenever i connect my iPod to my computer, iTunes says: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to be shut down". This keeps me from synching my iPod and adding/or removing music from it, and it really is a pain! I have tried uninstalling it and installing it again. I've tried restarting my computer. None of the things I've tried has worked, and I haven't been able to find help on any other forums. The strange thing is that this problem seems to have occurred after I installed version 8.1. And by the way, I'm using Windows XP.
    Any help wil be much appreciated,
    Errol

    First uninstall iTunes AND quicktime in control panel>add remove. Goto acer web site and download any patches and updates they offer, especailly for iTunes issues for your model.
    Now disable any antivirus programs and security programs and things then goto apple.com and download/install the latest version of iTunes, don't install what came with your iPod on CD for its likly outdated by now anyways. When its done installing, reboot the PC

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • A playlist that I update on my ipod won't update when I connect my ipod to itunes

    I have been using my Ipod Touch 3rd generation to create playlists. The playlists show up fine and play on the ipod, but when I connect the ipod to itunes, and click on the playlist, it does not reflect the changes made on the ipod. I have the ipod set to manually manage, so when I disconnect the ipod the songs are still on the ipod, but why won't they show up on itunes?
    I also deleted some tv shows off of the ipod by way of itunes, but when i disconnected the ipod, they were still listed on the ipod, although they would not play. So somehow, my itunes and ipod are not communicating with eachother. Any ideas/fixes?

    Hey BingHuo,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPod will sync but not charge while connected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    iPod's battery doesn't charge
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a good one,

  • The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either. HELP!

    The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

    Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.
