Why is the content in the program tab "grey" and not clickable?

Does anyone know why I can't synchronize individual programs in iTunes? When I connect my iPad to iTunes I can synchronize and back up the device but I can't do anything under the tab "programs" in iTunes. I can see my apps but I can't do anything

I GOT IT FIXED!
This is my solution to the grey songs, cant buy from iTunes app or App Store, and syncing problems.
im just going to say it how it is and no robot instructions. it takes any where from 30 minutes to 1-2 hours depending on how much stuff is on your iPhone. so here is how i fixed mine
1. Back up your iPhone whatever device you have
2. Disconnect from iTunes and unplug your Apple device
3. NOTE:NOT FROM YOUR COMPUTER, BUT go into the
Settings app>General>Restore: Erase All Content and Settings
4. Let it Restart and you will be prompted with the ios 5 Setup screen and continue setting up UNTIL you get to the part where it asks you about RESTORING from a back up via iTunes, iCloud, or setup as a new iPhone.
5. select the iTunes option. connect to iTunes and right click your iPhone from the devices list and select "Restore from Backup..."
6. select the backup you did just a few ago.
7. let it backup, it may take a while from 10 minutes to 30. it took me 20 (so find something to do like watch a tv show or something. go on youtube and watch a video or two to pass the time)
8. once restored, it will come up on the device list on iTunes. ONLY click the iPhone DO NOT click the music on the iPhone. click sync if it isn't already.
9. after it is done, THEN click the music on the drop down selection on your iPhone. all the previous music that was gray/grey, should be black like normal, if not then press sync and then go back to music.
this worked for me so hopefully it will work for you.
this grey song issue ****** me off so much i wanted to throw my iPhone 4S at the wall and see all the glass shatter into a million pieces. nasdlfhsdfsdjfnl gahhh. everything is working like a charm now so you're welcome if this worked.
if it didn't, then your screwed or keep trying again.

  • Why is the password box jiggling and not accepting my correct password?

    I just bought the macbook air and was running setup. The registration failed, as well as the migration from my other iMac, however setup continued. When it was finished, the macbook air restarted and began with my profile and asked for my password. I know I typed it in correctly and that it is the correct password, but all that happens in the password box jiggles and it won't accept my password to log me in.
    Help! How do I get around this? I'm unable to just reinstall everything to start over because no software came with the macbook air.
    I haven't been able to even use the macbook air yet and am tempted to return it if I can't even get in.

    Here's how to reset the password to something you know.

  • HT5429 How do I turn location services on for 'Mapquest.' I tried, but the button is grey and no response when I tap 'location services.'

    When I go to settings, and then to 'privacy,' I am not able to make changes. The buttons are grey and not responding when I tap? I just loaded 'Mapquest' and want to say 'yes' to location services, but I can't do it. In fact, I cannot make any changes to the 'location services' page

    Can you post a screen shot?

  • I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows.  This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10.  Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

    In formcentral, why does the "proceed to checkout" button not work? on IE I get error " This content cannot be displayed in a frame. To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame ". On Chrome I get nothing but loading.

    Hi,
     This error is generally specific to Internet Explorer and has two possible causes. The most likely explanation is that your browser has unusual browser security settings. I would recommend you try
    resetting your security settings to defaults (varies by version but all essentially the same). You may also have to turn off
    Protected Mode which is enabled by default on some systems. If you’re seeing this error (or a version of it) outside Internet Explorer, you may have a server-level setting that is preventing your content from being framed.

  • Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility???

    Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility? How do I partition a disk?

    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc One if you are trying to partition your startup drive and after the installer loads select your language then click on the Continue button. After the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    If you are trying to partition an external drive or a non-startup drive then simply open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • I upgraded yesterday so why is the "close tab" no longer on the File menu? How do I close one tab without exiting Firefox?

    the "close tab" option is not on the File drop-down menu today. It was before I upgraded yesterday to the new version of firefox. So how do I close one tab?

    Ctrl W did the trick and I think I should be able to remember that. Right click menu when the document or site is open on the screen doesn't work, but it does from the taskbar menu above. Either way, I know what to do now. Thank you.

  • Help  I have installed and reinstalled iTunes but it will not open.  I get an error telling me that windows DEP will not allow the program to run and i can not shut the DEP off for the program.  i need to reset my ipod touch and cant cause of this.

    I have tried to shut off the DEP for the program but it is not allowed.  I can't get to any of my music on my computer because of this.  I use windows vista and was able to use ITunes until the upgrade to 10.2.  now i can't even open the program and it is getting me very upset.  Please someone help me.

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file.

    Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file. The error message reads "cannot complete your request because of a program error" -- it is a very large file (I have been saving it all along) and I had just "flattened layers" and went to open up a new, blank photo file when it shut down. Is there anyway to get this file to open? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (p.s. after reading a couple of similar threads, I have a feeling it's hopeless. But I'd also like to know WHY this might have happened!) Thanks in advance!

    Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and for sharing the article--I did panic. Here are the details of my system:
    Model: HP p7-1247c
    Processor: AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
    Installed Memory: 8 GB (7.48 usable)
    System Type: 64-bit
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    I am using Photoshop CS3. It seems that I can work on photos and save them. But I am unable to open them back up. I have tried saving the files as psd and tiff with the same result. The error message is:  "cannot complete your request because of a program error"
    The interesting thing is that I can open up InDesign and "place" the psd file within InDesign (then export and save as a jpeg). So I don't think the files are necessarily corrupted. I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it last night, but there's no change.
    If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Or, should I repost my question with this more complete info? Thank you!

  • I am stuck with a google theme behind the bookmark tab bar and url box. How do I get rid of it? changing themes isn't the issue - it's just all stuck in back!

    I set a theme on igoogle - but it seems to now be embedded in my firefox as it is behind the url box, behind the bookmark tab bar and at the bottom of the page. How do I get rid of it. I can still change themes but they stay on the google page as they should. this has nothing to do with my screen saver and my desktop screens - they are different and ok - seems to be stuck in Firefox particularly.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
