I just downloaded iTunes onto my old computer so I could get all my old music onto my iPod nano. I finally got all the old stuff into my iTunes library plugged in the iPod, and it won’t sync. When I go to File Devices, the “sync” option is greyed out. Sep 21, 2019 The majority of the time, you solve AND fix these issues simply except in cases when you have unsupported formats or DRM protected tracks. Let’s explore a few options to help you resolve the problem of your iTunes songs grayed out. May 29, 2018  After you authorize, choose File Library Update iCloud Music Library from the menu bar at the top of your computer screen or the top of the iTunes window. If you synced the songs that appear with gray text to your iOS device from a Mac or PC, turn on iCloud Music Library on that computer and your library should update.

Check these things first

Check your settings and network connection on all of your devices:

• Make sure that your devices have the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, or iTunes for Windows.
• Make sure that Sync Library is turned on for all of your devices.
• Connect all of your devices to the Internet.
• Visit the Apple System Status page to see if there are interruptions in service in your country or region.

Apple Music isn't a backup service. Make sure to back up your music library before you make any changes.

If you can't find or play a song

If you can't find or play a song, check if you added it from Apple Music. If it came from another source, the song might be waiting to upload. Try these steps:

1. Turn on your Mac or PC and connect it to the Internet.
2. Open the Music app or iTunes for Windows.
3. Keep the Music app or iTunes for Windows open so your library can finish uploading.

If you see an ineligible icon next to a song, delete the song, then add it back to your library. If you still see an ineligible icon next to a song, then that song can’t be uploaded.

If a song is grayed out, then the song might be waiting to upload, no longer available, or not yet released from the Apple Music catalog.

If you’re still missing a song that you added from the Apple Music catalog, then the song might have been removed from Apple Music or is available under a different file name. Try searching Apple Music for the song, then add it to your library.

All files and folders that you encounter when browsing the Finder in OS X should be displayed in regular font and icon color; however, there may be times when this is not the case, and one or more folders may appear grayed out and otherwise faded. When this happens, you will not be able to open the folder, and unlike other folders that may show a small entry triangle next to them in list view, these will not have options for viewing what is inside.

This display usually means the folder is not accessible at a low level, and this in turn is likely from either a fault in the filesystem entry for the file, or damage to your Mac’s hard drive formatting. This damage may happen from an interruption in a file or folder copying process, such as might happen from a power failure, crash, hard-reset, forced-cancel, or sudden disk unmount. This can also happen if you are using an unsupported storage setup, such as a software RAID array (especially those from third-parties), in which case you might see many (if not all) of your folders duplicated (see below).

Otherwise accessible folders may appear grayed and be inaccessible (click image for larger view).

Regardless of the reason, the result is you cannot open the folder, and other programs may not be able to open it either.

Overcoming the problem

This problem should be distinguished from the viewing of hidden folders in the Finder. OS X contains a number of hidden folders to keep your system looking clean, but there are hidden settings that can be activated to show these folders. When done, the folders will appear grayed; however, unlike this problem, they will be accessible. Nevertheless, for starters, open the Terminal utility (in Applications > Utilities) and run the following command to disable this hidden folder view (if enabled):

One potential cause for this issue is if the interruption caused the system to improperly set the folder’s creation or modification dates. Since the fix for this is relatively easy, this should be the first step you try for recovering the lost folder:

1. Open the Terminal utility (in Applications > Utilities)
2. Type the following command, followed by a single space (this space is important). The first eight digits here represent the date and time, in this case being January 1, 2015, with the trailing zeros being hours, minutes, and seconds, indicating midnight. This is a relevant date and time for a folder to be created:
3. Copy and paste, or drag and drop, the grayed-out folder from the Finder to the Terminal window, so its full path is entered after the previously typed command (again with a space between the last number and the pasted file path). If you cannot select the file, then drag its parent folder to the Terminal window, followed by deleting the trailing space and then appending a slash followed by the folder name (i.e., “/foldername”) to the folder path.
4. Press Enter to run the command, which will update the access and modification time stamps for the file.

Drive Repair Tools

If the above approach does not work, then your best bet to recover your drive is to reformat it and restore your Mac from a backup; however, if for some reason you need to preserve your drive (e.g., you do not have a backup), then alternative approaches include using drive utilities in an attempt to repair your drive. Apple’s Disk Utility can be used to run a general fix on your drive (when done in Recovery Mode); however, for directory corruption issues, Alsoft DiskWarrior and some other third-party tools may be useful. With these tools, you can attempt a directory rebuild, or filesystem repair routine, and see if these will fix any errors and make the folder and its contents available again.

Recovering data from the folder

Hopefully you have a backup of your files so you can safely format your drive if needed; however, if not then before formatting to clear the problem, you might be able to recover the data stored in the problematic folder by using a sequence of Terminal commands:

1. In the Finder, create a folder named “Temp” on your Desktop
2. Select the problematic grayed-out folder, and press Command-C to copy its path.
3. Open the Terminal utility
4. Type “mv -v” followed by a single space, and then press Command-V to paste the copied folder path.
5. Press Delete once and then type “/* ” with a single space following the asterisk.
6. Locate the new Temp folder on your Desktop, and then similarly select it and press Command-C to copy its path.
7. Paste the path in the Terminal, so the full command will look similar to the following:

With this command assembled, pressing Enter should move the folder’s contents to the new Temp directory. You should see each file listed as it is moved, and when done the Terminal will drop you back to the command prompt. You can now back up the files, and then consider formatting your drive and restoring your files.

Managing Software RAID arrays

If this problem is happening for all folders on a software RAID array setup and resulting in all folders showing up in grayed-out duplicate, then the problem is very likely with your RAID configuration, and you will need to fix it either using the configuration utilities for your array, or by backing up your data, destroying the array, and rebuilding it. If the problem continues, then your RAID array might have a faulty drive, in which case you might look into replacing it, or optionally moving to another RAID setup that might be more compatible with your drives and your Mac.
