Track Number Choice greyed out in iTunes v11

I am ripping a WHOLE BUNCH OF CD's (More than 1500) and when I go to put in the information into the Item Information box (Command , I), I can't correct the track number. I would like to find a way to eliminate the 1/18 - 2/18 - 3/18 so on and so fourth and just get put track numbers 1, 2, 3, ....ect The Track Number (Blank) of (Number of Tracks on CD) is not editable, it is greyed out. Is there a way of editing this before it is ripped so it doesn't appear in the tag information??? I am using the Lame Encoder Script! I have been doing my tag editing in Kid3 (Version 2.0.1). It is taking alot of extra time to elimate the "/(number of tracks on the cd)" .... Can anyone help??? Thank You in advance for your time!!
iTunes Version: 11.0.4 (4)
MacBook Pro: 6,2
Intel Core i7
OS X: 10.6.8

It's not possible to modify track numbers on an unripped CD. Never has been that I know of.

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone number but only from my email address. When I go to the settings for my imessages to choose where they are coming from my phone number is greyed out....Is there a way to fix this

Hi Chas869,
Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!

I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes. Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers. When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
The same song clipped - no chance to repair.

Apple id greyed out in itunes

my apple id is greyed out in itunes on my ipad I noticed this when an app I was trying to download kept saying "waiting" ....I cannot update my apps either as they say waiting. I can get in my account on itunes on my computer. This is all since the new os .....I would also like to stop these apps now but can't find a place to do it.

I have the EXACT same problem since the OS update. The TV apps I use a LOT tried to update, but are now permanently stuck on 'waiting. I cannot use them. I cannot even delete them, or try to re install. I have two new apps (which have never fully installed, and now I want to delete) stuck on 'installing' too. I cannot delete them, because when you press the icon to make it wiggle, no cross appears. They will not delete in iTunes. And I cannot sign out and re sign in, as my Apple ID is greyed out.
Please, someone help!!

IMessage not selecting my phone number, its "greyed" out.

I have an iPhone 4S and it was on a monthly 02 contract but I have not terminated my contract with O2. I had my iPhone unlocked so I could use it on any network. I now have a Vodafone sim card in the phone and am on PAYG. However my iMessage is not working properly. When I try to active my iMessage my phone number is "greyed" out so I cannot send messages via my mobile number ...so can only send text messages. I did use the Vodafone sim card in my iPhone whilst my number was being ported across so it did have a temporary number. However, now my original number has been ported across I can no longer select it under iMessage as it is "greyed" out.
How do I resolve this?

Still Problem... I delete my account ID from My daughter's phone and used her iCloud email account and both of us still have same massage "waiting for activation for Message and face Time setting. Still I can see my daughter's phone number in my phone "you can be reached by face time at" and I can able to check it as well as my e-mail address but my phone number is greyed out... Ok just want to verified I can't able to face time using my phone number anymore? I don't have any option to delete my daughter's number or my e-mail address only I can add e-mail's.... I tried trouble shootings step by step but still stack in same way...` any suggestion ?

My phone number is greyed out for FaceTime

@ setting>FaceTime "you can be reached by FaceTime at" some reason my phone number is greyed out but my doubter's phone number and my email address <which I can't remove> can be selected. So When people try to face time with my doubter my phone ring and when I try to FaceTime with some one showed my doubter's number. How come my actually number is greyed out?

Where is the phone number on the iPod?
If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
For some info see:

CD Ripped Music on iPhone6 Greyed out in iTunes and will not Sync/Transfer

I recently added my MP3 files back into iTunes. I didn't seem to have any issues transferring any of these songs to my iPod Nano or work iPhone4s. When I try to transfer these items to my new iPhone6 they are greyed out in iTunes and will not transfer. I can, however, view and play the library when switching to the hone share file on wi-fi.
What am I not able to transfer these songs to my iPhone6?

Actually I just corrected this on my own by syncing specific items and checking nothing at all and then going back to select everything.

Cannot sync (sync greyed out in iTunes, and unavailable on iTunes).

I can't sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes (on a Windows XP computer). Both are the latest versions (I had 10.6 iTunes which itunes told me was the latest, and discovered 11 is available which I believe I downloaded, both of which had the same problem). The sync button is greyed out in iTunes. I've tried wi-fi and cable syncs...neither of which has worked.
This seems to be a common problem, I've seen forum postings on this subject going back to 2011, and as recent as a few days ago, and still no solutions presented. I've spent hours over the last week and this weekend looking for a solution.

Just in case anyone has the same problem and stumbles upon my unanswered thread, I found a work-around. Not sure if step 1 is necessary, but its the path I took.
1. Reset your iPhone (from off, hold down on button with home for 10 secs, then continue holding home) and follow prompts for resetting in iTunes. Note, this will wipe out your apps, some of which I paid for...not sure if they're gone forever...
2. Download 3rd party program "MediaMonkey". I know, its ghetto, but whatever works. MediaMonkey is essentially a 3p iTunes.
3. MediaMonkey will find and load your iTunes material saved to your PC/Mac.
4. Sync in MediaMonkey. Fairly userfriendly/obvious how to do this.
Thanks Apple, your turning into a real POS company. As noted, my next phone purchase will not be with you and I'll certainly share this experience I've had with others. Continue to focus on your cool hipster marketing scheme, and not on your product, so you can sell your crop to generations and generations of yuppies for years to come.

HT1473 I have always imported my cds into iTunes using one step called 'joining cd tracks' which is done under the "Advanced" drop down menu. I then went on with the process. Half way through the process today the "join tracks' choice greyed out. Not avai

I have always imported my cds (including books) into iTunes using one step called "join cd tracks" which is under the "Advanced" menu. Never a problem. But today I was importing a 10 disc book and on the 7th disc all of a sudden the choice to join cd tracks was greyed out. I have tried it with other discs. No luck. How can I get to this option again. I was not doing anything different so don't know what took away this choice. Can anyone help me?

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

IMEI number is greyed out and unable to activate phone.Apple India is not supporting any suggestions?

I bought iPhone 5 in Singapore in May '13 and then moved to India . The phone worked well in India till end Sep'13. But in Oct '13, while auto installing 7.0.3, the phone started hanging and the signal went for "search " forever. I tried to reset the phone to factory settings and everything went blank. It is stated that the IMEI number has been greyed out in the phone and only Apple Singapore can fix it.
Apple India refused to touch the phone as it was bought in Singapore. Tried with online support without any success till now. I am unable to send the phone to Singapore for repair - as it cannot be send by courier by individuals and Apple Singapore service does not accept over courier.
Tried online support and but it did not work
Please suggest option to repair and make the phone usable in India.
Regret for having bought iPhone at Singapore.

Thank you for the quick response. I understand warranty coverage is only for Singapore ( place of purchase).
Help required: Can the online support from Apple really help in restoring the phone?
1.What is the purpose of iPhone Restore option in iCloud / iTune ? if it user cannot do in such instances
2.Why should the IMEI number get "greyed" after a use of 6 months?
3.Why should a Apple working product fail when updating a new version of the software?
Surely points 1 to3 above are shortcomings of Apple software and its product. Such HIGH priced premium product needs much more reliability. Apple should consider global warranty specifically for people who travel -else the problem will erode its market share. Apple competition too have the same issue.
Having stated the above, I sincerely regret going in for a Apple product and that too buying in Singapore. I have learnth a hard and extremely costly lesson

My "Check for updates" and "Restore" buttons greyed out in iTunes.

Hy this is a screenshot of my problem. Please help me out. Thank you.

On my G4 iBook I was having issues, first with a first gen shuffle, greyed out update and restore, no info on serial number and such. Shuffle was blinking orange and red, took to Genuis bar tried the shuffle reset application, hosed. My 3rd Gen iPod and brand new Video iPod (just got today) also greyed out.
Shuffle reset was giving numerous error messages, trashed and reinstalled iTunes and all plists, no good.
Tried shuffle on old eMac running older iTunes, worked fine!!
Tried brand new Video iPod on old eMac and older iTunes, worked fine.
Archived and installed Tiger on iBook and voila, Video pod is good to go, haven't tried old shuffle on this yet but, bottom line, reinstall OS did the trick (or so it would appear for now).

Send and Receive iMessages: Phone number is greyed out

I just updated to IOS8...then iTunes informed me i had to restore my phone, so I did and now my phone will only send/receive texts to my email or iCloud account. It won't work to choose my phone number, it is greyed out.
Please help!!

Hi there brosterl,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

Ipod playlists greyed out in itunes

I am having a problem when my ipod is connected to my computer. It connects to itunes, but when I click on the ipod or playlists in the ipod everything is greyed out and I can not click on it. I am not able to drag new downloaded songs into any of my playlists either. I just get a circle with a line through it.
Please help

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
