Why is all the text in the iPod section of my iTunes in grey?

I just started trying to hook up my iPod to my own windows, as opposed to my mom's mac, which is where it was previously hooked up. I already had iTunes on my comp, and it loaded the songs onto my iPod after all of the other stuff had been taken off. But, all the text is in grey in the section of iTunes where you can fiddle with songs on your actual iPod, as opposed to the ones that are just on iTunes. I can't do anything with the music files on the iPod, but the rest of my iTunes seems fine. What do I do?

you've currently got one of the automatic updating/syncing options engaged in your itunes ipod preference tab. to directly adjust things in that ipod screen, you would need to have "manually manage songs and playlists" engaged.
for more info on the various different options, see:

Why won't the iPod icon show in iTunes?

I just got a video 30 GB ipod for Christmas.
And I've been trying all day to get my computer to register the iPod.
But it won't.
It has charged the four hours.
I let it register while I let my computer load.
But that took forever.
And it just charged it.
iTunes still wouldn't recognize it.
Please help me?
I'm going to go crazy!

Try reading my post "Is your IPOD very slow to connect and eject and it appears to lock-up?". I think it is on page 2 of this discussion forum now.
This worked for me and I've had emails from other people saying that this fixed their problem.

You might still be able to recover them using one of the methods discussed in this older thread, but many of them require a full functional, noncorrupted iPod filesystem in order to work properly.

Hi Holy,
Your site looks good to me when I check it on Chrome, Screen shot: http://project02.businesscatalyst.com/Jing/2013-10-24_1917.png

I lost my iPod touch and now have a new one. Is there a way to transfer all the songs on have in iTunes onto the new iPod?

I lost my iPod touch and bought a new one? Is there a way to transfer all the songs I have in iTunes onto the new iPod? I am scared I will lose it all when I sync the new one or that I have to start all over. Please help!!

You can do better than that. You can click on the Restore button that appears under your device in iTunes. This will restore your iPod to factory settings as if it were fresh out of the box. But don't worry. By doing a restore, you will then be given the option to "Restore from Backup." This will allow you to restore the state of your previous iPod!!

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

HT1152 All this help info tells me to use idvd, but I can't get it to open. I asked the applecare guy and he says the new macs don't include idvd any more, so why do all the menu and help items say to use it? I know there's other dvd burner software, wh

I want to burn my imovie to a dvd. All the help info says to use idvd but I can't get it to open. The applecare guy said idvd is no longer included in new macs, so why are all the instructions still saying to use it? Is one of the other software offerings, like dvd Cfreator for Mac, ok to use for this? What's the best one?

Please clarify what you mean by "you can't get it to open". Is iDVD on your system or not? If this is a new iMac, iDVD is no longer bundled with new Macs, so the application just isn't there and hence of course can't be opened. You can still purchase it as part of the retail iLife '11 box, though, if you want it, and it would be less expensive than DVD Creator (which I have no experience with), even though you'll get some redundant applications.

In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out? I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps. I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

Hi,
( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
So the menu bar reads iChat, File, Edit, View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
There is no Buddy List open.
There is no other window for iChat open.
In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
Is an item ticked in the list ?
Is this a green (Available item) or Red ( an Away one) ?
Can you access the Accounts option ? (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
Is anything in here ticked ?
In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
Type in:-
~/Library/Preferences
Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

Why doesn't the iPod touch have the A7 chip if it supposedly made for gaming and hardcore apps?

Why doesn't the iPod touch have the A7 chip if it supposedly made for gaming and hardcore apps?

Apple has not released a new model of iPod touch since the A7 processor was introduced. When Apple will, or indeed if they will, is as lllass said not something any of use here would know. We'll just have to wait and see.

Where are all the iPod apps?

I have looked in iTunes but it has the worst search functionality I have seen. There is no way to filter apps by their compatibility not only with the iPod Touch 4th Generation, but any iPod Touch model.
Does anyone know how to beat Apple at their own game and find all the iPod apps which they are hiding from view?
Message was edited by: ProjectVRD

They're not hiding. Go to the main iTunes Store page, click on Power Search, and on the Power Search page select to search for Apps in the left-hand pulldown. Then you'll see a Device Compatibility pulldown where you can select "iPod touch".
Note that you'll have to look at the specific requirements for each app to be sure the app will work with your model of iPod touch and version of iOS.
