Why are some of my songs in light grey and have a circle beside them?

in my itunes a lot of my tunes appear in light grey and have a perforated? circle appearing in the column on the far left side what does that mean

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

  • Why are some of my songs not syncing in my playlist when most of them are?

    I am syncing playlists and a few of my songs are not syncing when the rest of them are. I have checked that they have been downloaded (and purchased!) and have a check mark in front of them. They are in the playlist lineup...

    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

    Hi smiilee,
    Have you tried resetting your phone (hold down the Home and Power buttons a the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears). Once the Home screen comes back up, see if your Music is OK.
    If it is not, then, have you sync'd your phone to an iTunes library on a computer? If so, then hook it up to the computer, uncheck the "Sync Music" option so that no music is sync'd and then sync the phone. This should delete everything on the phone. Then go back and re-check the "Sync Music" option, and select any other criteria you want on that screen, and then sync again. This should put back all of your music.
    Let me know if you have any questions,

  • Why are some of my songs that i have downloaded into itunes not showing in the cloud?

    why are some of my songs that i have downloaded into itunes not showing

    If you have content eligible for icloud then you can stream it directly. Of course any local content requires your computer on and running iTunes to be able to see your library.

  • Why are some of my songs listed in red?

    Why are some of the songs and albums listed in red in my library?

    You tell us, did you do anything?
    Install iTunes 11?
    Put songs into a Playlist Folder?
    Is the Playlist a Smart Playlist?
    Number two, putting songs into a Playlist Folder is guaranteed to cause songs to be "lost" from the list, eventually.
    So - if you need more help than the possible causes listed here, you need to tell us a bit more about the issue. One assumes for instance (since you've posted in the iTunes for Windows forum), that this is ocurring in iTunes. What devices are you Syncing with your iTunes Library, and what are the Playlists like on them?

  • Why are some of my songs not in order in my albums?

    I was wondering why are some of my songs not in order in my albums? This wasn't a problem when I first used i-tunes, but I had to download a newer version of i-tunes to get my sister's ipod to work.  For Example my album "AC DC Live" has track #3 Back in Black as the first song listed.  How can this be fixed?

    Hello igho234,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. You don't mention how those songs got onto your playlist, but this article may address your issue, if they were imported from a third-party application or CD.

  • Why are some of the loops in GB 'greyed

    Why are some of the loops in GB 'greyed out' " I'm specifically interested in 'slide guitar' for example and cant find a reason why there's no access. My iMAC was bought in April 2010??

    Would you please stop spamming every single apple garageband discussion forum with your website. It doesn't have the answers on how to force the loops to download.
    You're using the forums to spam your site in almost every single thread, and wasting users time.
    Have to disagree with you there, Court Kizer. The Bullets&Bones site is, in many ways, where I really learned how to use GarageBand.

  • I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

    I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
    At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

    Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

  • A few emails in my inbox won't go away even when I delete them. They turn light grey and if I click on them again, it can only undelete. Will not move to trash in any way.

    How do I permanently delete some emails which just turn light grey instead of going away from my inbox?

    Choose the mailbox on the left, on the menu bar click mailbox, then click rebuild. That will usually get rid of emails that turn gray and stay in your mailbox.

  • Why are some of the songs I created in garageband and then pushed to itunes "ineligible for icloud"?

    I create songs in garageband on my iMac, then "share" them to itunes. I purchased Itunes Match so that I could hear them on my iphone 5 (7.1.2), but some of the songs will not show up on my phone. When I checked them on the computer, it says, "This item is ineligible for icloud". Why not?

    Aec, I'm have the same issue as well with mine.  I deleted some music a few week back to give room for sum pics and movies and now that i want to restore them from off my itunes only 1 or 2 songs are actually able to play and the rest out of the albums are greyed out and non responsive.  Have never had an issue like this b-4.  Anyone have any insight or some problems?  Thanks in advance.
