Why is my app screen grayed out?

When I have my updated (4.3) iTouch connected and I am looking at iTunes, why is my app screen gray and non-clickable? I can access every other page (music, tv shows, etc) but not apps?
I must be doing something wrong, right?

Got it I had restrictions enabled on my iTouch - to keep my toddlers from inadvertently purchasing apps.
Shew!

Why is the App screen grayed out?

I click on my device (iphone) in Itunes and when I go to the App screen it is all grayed out and I can't do anything in there??

Yes, it's checked as it's how I left it when I was able to edit the page before...now the whole tab is just grayed out and I can't check or uncheck anything. Nothing happens. So frustrated...thanks for any help or suggestions. I have multiple devices on my account and this is the only one that this is happening with when I connect to iTunes. Ugh!

Hi Lisa
I don't know what operating system you are using, and I am not familiar with AMD video cards so I don't know the likely age and specs of your computer, but you need to make sure the driver is updated directly from the AMD site

ITunes on Win7 and iPhone 3GS Apps frozen - grayed out - Why?

I use my iPhone 3GS via iTunes on my Win7 desktop, and when I load the iTunes 64 bit software (ver10.4.1.10) it can see the iPhone, and GRAYS OUT installed apps, which I can not move or re-arrange. I had trouble downloading purchased Apps until I went to my iPhone Update button and installed them from the Purchased bar. When I 'Synch' the iPhone to iTunes, it only goes through a very quick 'Step 1 of 4' and then stops. All this after I have uninstalled iTunes and then reinstalled iTunes, so what's on the PC is the most current version. That version also says my iPhone software is 100% current, and the iPhone firmware reports it is running 05.16.02.   For some reason, iTunes reports multiple copies of the (very few) music MP3s I put on the phone ... I hardly ever use the iPhone for music - it's a tool - not a toy.
Bottom line: my iTunes software is mostly frozen - I can't move or arrange apps - and I have lots of downloaded data (thank God for GoodReader!) and carefully managed work related Apps on my iPhone. I'd had to have to 'reformat' or 'restore' the iPhone which I think would strip the iPhone bare. Can anyone help?    Thanks, in advance ~

By the way - on a similar posting (frozen icons etc) someone suggested that the iPhone Restrictions might be the problem - they have to be turned OFF - isn't a fix here. My iPhone Restrictions have not been turned 'on'. See:   https://discussions.apple.com/message/11085451#11085451 - that didn't 'FIX' my problem.

Apps are grayed out and unable to sync

I am trying to sync multiple iPads using a Bretford Syncing Cart for 30 iPads. When I choose to make changes to what apps are each iPad, I am not able to select the apps within the "apps tab" They are grayed out. I can not scroll through them, move them or add or delete any app. The only way that I can make any changes is to restore the iPad to factory settings and start over each time. I have run out of ideas to deal with this. Anyone have any suggestions?

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Reformatted computer with Windows 7 now iTunes apps all grayed out

I got a virus on my computer and had to completely wipe everything clean and start fresh as if it was a new computer. Since I was doing that I decided to upgrade my OS to Windows 7 (had been on Windows XP). Anywho, since I've done that and reloaded iTunes all of my apps in iTunes are grayed out. I can see all the apps and i can sync my iPod to iTunes, but I can't actually select any to put on my iPod. I can't manage my apps on my iPod screens on iTunes. Since I've done this (two months ago) my iPod has remained the exact same unless I have directly purchased apps from the iPod. I can't use my computer to manage my iPod at all. I have added home sharing, I have authorized this computer. i still am stumped and have no idea what to do. I only use the iPod for apps (mostly for my kids) and I am so frustrated that I can't reorganize things on the different screens. I can't add any of the apps I have in my iTunes. Ugh...please help. thx.

I did not back up, however, I don't have a problem with lost or missing apps....I can't even access the apps that I've transferred from my iPod touch to the new iTunes, nor can I access apps that I've downloaded.....I can see it all, it is just all greyed out and I can't manage the different screens on my iPod touch via iTunes like I used to. Basically iTunes won't let me do anything but sync, but even the sync is useless b/c I can't access the apps that I've updated to my iTunes.

Why is my phone number grayed out in Facetime?

I dont get what happened with iOS6... but apparently I cannot use my phone number for facetime? As it is grayed out and I cannot check it off as the address to receive Facetime...
Also... I am now showing up in peoples phones as 2 contacts... one with my phone number and one with my email address... Why did this happen? how do i merge them?

I was simply asking why it is grayed out...
and why other people have me as 2 different cotnacts in their phones now... One my phone number, and a second contact as my email address... why dont they have me in one... and NO smartass they did not add me as a second cotnact... it happened on its own...
By chance, are you running a Mac with Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2? If so, I noticed something similar.... I now have my phone number and email address for use in Facetime and Messages. Maybe your user friends have not upgraded to iOS6, because both addresses only show in iOS I believe. iOS 5 only shows one or the other address.

Difficulty sharing screen--grayed out

I set my mother-in-law up with a Mac Mini so that I could troubleshoot problems when she needed help. The ability to share screens via iChat is the main way we want to do this.
But when we were both on iChat, the ability to share her screen was grayed out. Under her video menu, "Screen Sharing Enabled" is grayed out.
Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I can successfully share screens with others.
Is it an issue with the Mac Mini? Is a video camera and microphone required to share screens?

A Camera or Mic is not required to Screen Share although the Screen Sharing in iChat does include an Audio feed.
I have tried turning Off Share Screen option then selecting Microphone Enabled which in fact then Disables it. I can still turn On Screen Sharing again.
There is also a Show Audio (Video) Status (in the View Menu) which turns the Buddy Video and Audio icons Off. But these do not seem to effect things either.
Does she have System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming set at 1.5Mbps ?
She will need to Restart iChat if she has to change.
Having said this, in Leopard if left at Automatic, iChat would be limited to 384k anyway which would be fast enough for Screen Sharing.
At this stage I am at a bit of a loss as to a Fix per se.
I would get her to try a Restart of the computer whilst holding down the Apple Key + ALT PR keys together until she hears three start up Bongs.

Why is the lyrics tab grayed out?

I have a Taylor Swift song I was going to add some lyrics to, but the tab is grayed out. Anyone know why? This song was imported from a CD.
Thanks

Yes, I tried it again by seeing the song in the main library as opposed to seeing it in a playlist. Again, the lyrics tab was grayed out. I was able to see the tab, however, when I did a "get info" for one of her music videos I have.

Why is my Excel Icon grayed-out in 10g

Hello,
I am working with BI Discoverer 10.1.0.2 Olap on Windows XP with Excel 2003, and for some reason, the excel icon on the right side of the toolbar is grayed-out. Can anyone tell me why, and how to fix it.
Thanks,
Carl

Sooner than later - is all I can say now.
However, there is a workaround available:
"The Export to Excel and Export to HTM actually produce the exact same file (the only difference is which application Discoverer Plus OLAP uses when auto-launching the exported file). So to solve this, simply Export to *.htm and then open the file using Excel (even Excel 2003)"
Thanks
