Sync Apps tab all greyed out...

In iTunes 10 Apps tab, none of the options can be selected, they are all greyed out. The Sync Apps box is ticked but greyed out and unclickable.
I restored my my iPhone 3G earier today because I had my iPhone replaced at the Apple Store. Since then, every time I connect my iphone to iTunes this occurs, all the applications I already have appear in the box like normal but in grey; I cannot tick or select them... All the other sync functions work perfectly (eg. music, photos, podcasts etc...).
How can I fix this? I tried resetting my iPhone, restarting the computer and turning off restrictions and but all to no avail.

This has happened to me, too. The app icons won't load in the Synch Apps tab. They're all the same, gray, generic icon. The check boxes are really stubborn. I finally got a check mark to appear in a check box, but couldn't un-check it.
Off topic:
While trying to check and un-check an App on that Synch Apps list, I discovered that if you double-click on one of the app names in that list, the large image of the iPhone page, will change to show you where on your phone, that app is located... Handy if it's in a folder somewhere. Also found out that you can drag an app icon from your list of apps (the grid view of all of your purchased apps, accessible in the sidebar) to the name of your connected iPhone (listed in the iTunes sidebar) that dragged app will install on the iPhone...

  • All the apps that I have downloaded are "waiting" and whenever I try to sync apps on my computer with my phone, the apps section is greyed out and won't allow me to do anything. I have tried restoring to factory settings but it didn't work.

    How can I access my apps? They are all greyed out in itunes. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings but that didn't work. I have a feeling it may have something to with the restrictions settings on my phone  restrictions are on) but it won't allow me to change the restrictions without putting in a passcode. I don't remember ever having a passcode and after several attempts have not been able to get the right code.
    Also. on my phone, in settings, personal hotspot, iCloud and Twitter are greyed out. And, the App Store icon is missing from my screen as well.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

  • I've had a problem with syncing itunes, when i sync it dosent sync songs previously deleted it just greys them out, which is great but if i want to add a new video or song from my computer it wont sync it will just grey out and wont play. now all my songs

    ive had a problem syncing with itunes recently. when i delete a song on my iphone when i sync with my computer it still syncs but just greys out and is rendered useless. thats great unless i when i want to add new music or videos from my pc to my iphone it wont sync and will just grey out. i looked for solutions and one said that deleteing all your music from the usage in settings would fix it, well now when i sync all of my music is greyed out. ive tried adding all of my songs manually into my ipod instead of syncing entire library and nothing. (also when i select to sync music nothing shows up in the usage bar (normally 3 gigs)  might help) could someone please help?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Songs I recently downloaded are all Greyed out with a grey cloud next to them?

    Recently got an iTunes gift card for Christmas and was at my family's house. I went on their iTunes and signed into my Apple ID Account to use my new gift card under my Account. Everything went fine until I went home and opened my iTunes account on my PC Windows Computer. The recently Downloaded songs are ALL Greyed Out with a Cloud next to them? Now I can't play any of these NEW SONGS I just purchased?!?! PLEASE HELP ME!!

    I downloaded one of the file explorer programs (iFunbox in my case) for my PC and deleted everything out of the "Purchases" folder on the phone's "Raw File System". After a couple of syncs with iTunes everything was back to normal. It appears that something was screwed up on the iPhone side that iTunes couldn't sort out. I don't think anything could sync from iTunes to the phone, not just the greyed out items.
    This is why resetting and restoring the iPhone also works for a lot of people. It's overkill though, deletes your app data, and just wastes your time setting everything back up after the restore. Better to use the surgical approach of a file system explorer program on your PC to fix what appears to be a mundane data corruption issue.

  • Photoshop CC Updates screen is all greyed out!

    Hi, I bought Photoshop and Lightroom CC in the adobe offer last month.
    But I dont see the updates happening.
    When I goto photoshop and click on UDPATES, its all greyed out.
    See this screenshot,
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwtsr2drjqwvti9/Screen%20Shot%202014-03-26%20at%2010.48.17%20am. png
    What to do ?

    Sounds like you need to give us a much detailed account of what your situation is, and possibly take your question to the CC forum.
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/creative_cloud?view=discussions
    You need to say what operating system you are using?  We can see it is a Mac, but which one?
    You say "It never worked."  Do you mean Photoshop CC has never run on your system.  I can see if that is CC or CS6 from your screen shot.
    Do you have the Desktop Application manager installed?  It uses this icon:
    And looks like this when open (except I have a full sunscription)
    Do you have that, and what do you see when you open it to the Apps tab?

  • Apps on the apps tab are grayed out

    I can no longer move my apps around and make changes from within iTunes. Did a recent upgrade eliminate this functionality? Anyone know why they would be slightly grayed out?
    Thanks!

    Same problemo. I don't know when it started for me though. I moved to a new computer a couple of months ago; I upgraded iTunes this morning and the apps screen was all greyed out. When I click on "Sync Apps" it gives a warning that all of my data will be wiped out. What it doesn't say is if they will ALL be wiped out immediately, SOME will be wiped out immediately, or individually IF and WHEN I sync them.
    I see a bunch of different threads all with the same issue floating around the 'net.
    I thought perhaps the newest iTunes software won't allow icons to be moved around on the old iOS, so I upgraded the phone and still no luck. Now I'm off to re-boot everything a few times.
    This is NOT as smooth as Windows 7. LOL

  • Sound not working all greyed out

    Hi, recently the sound stopped working on the family Imac. when using volume toggles the speaker icon is all greyed out and there is a kindof cancel icom below the volume level bar. also there are no devices listed in the sound output tab. tried reloading mountain lion, to no avail and ive read some discusions on the apple forums. also check the headphone jack and there is NO red light.

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Garage Band Loops are all greyed out,

    There are no drum loops at all on my garage band. They are all "greyed" out. This is a new mac and came with leopard which I installed myself. Could it be that the install didn't go correctly and needs to be redone or is this something additional I have to purchase?

  • When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
    You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already.  Then you will have two computers authorized.  Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time.  If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
    Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library.  Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct.  But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.
