How do I get greyed out songs to play on my Iphone 4?

I've recently encountered a problem on my iPhone 4S
Essentially a small number of songs I purchased on the device have been duplicated as weird 'phantom' songs that don't play, don't have the artwork attached and have a weird 'stop' symbol next to each song. I cannot swipe to delete these songs on the device. I have removed all the music from the device and iTunes tells me there is precisely 0GB of audio on the device. There is nothing in my download queue on the device. While not a big deal, it's just a bit irritating, as every time I go to play the actual albums on the device, these 'phantom' songs appear in the tracklist, duplicating the actual songs, and halting the playback when it skips to them.

I have an and an new imac all with the latest updates on.
I have all my music on a NAS and have added it to itunes using the library. (no duplicates and they all play through itunes on the macÂ
My music collection on the iphone is full of unplayable music (grayed out) it just skips to the itunes songs. i have tried everything to delete it all using the usages and delete all music option. It almost looks like a music database needs to be rebuilt!! Yes they are CD's of mine i have added to the list and they worked once. Just started playing up after i ran a restore when my phone got updated from a 4sÂ
This is really annoying, on my kids phones you just drag the music you want onto there sony. Why is this so rubbish and how do i fix it. iPhone 6 order on stand by until this is sorted

I have had this problem with my old iPhone 5 and have the exact problem with the fact same songs on my iPhone 6plus. I will drag songs over and they "appear" on the phone but the are only gray instead of black and therefore they are unplayable. I happens with songs that I purchased on iTunes and with ones loaded on from CDs. Is it iTunes Match? Is it something else?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter syncing music from iTunes (v10.6) to my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1) I can see all the albums, artists and songs I selected but in grey font and it's impossible to reproduce them. I know the songs are there because I can see the memory they are using, but they are not available. I tried turning off, deleting and starting from zero, selecting one song, selecting a reproduction list, always the same. My music is stored in a Time-Capsule, but this should not be the problem because I can reproduce it from iTunes...

The album for the band U2 spontaneously appeared on my iphone. I don't have them in my itunes and have never downloaded their album. When I try to delete it on my phone it doesn't allow me, and its not in my itunes. The album appears when I connect my phone to my PC. I want these songs deleted but I dont know how? I've tried taking all my songs off my phone, everything is removed but this U2 album remains?

So I went to set an alarm last night for the first time since having the iphone 5c, and for some reason it showed all of my music (including music I don't have on my ipod anymore) when I went to select a song. I was messing around and clicked a few songs I hadnt heard in a while (and don't have synced to my ipod.) Now those bands and songs are showing up in my music. I've also deleted most of these bands from my Itunes completely, so it doesn't work to just uncheck them or d and sync again, they're still there. I tried swiping to delete and was able to delete one song, but the delete button doesn't show up now. I've tried turning "show all music" on and I still can't delete manually, and I'm not sure where these songs are coming from since they're deleted from Itunes.

Some of my albums contain double entries for every song. When I delete one of the two double entries I can't play the song.

Although, the songs can still be seen in the File Manager. I have tried reformatting twice and still the same.

I just updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 5.1. I use iTunes match so my music will sync across my devices. I was playing a playlist on it in my car yesterday via my Griffin iTrip and it was working fine. But then when I disconnected the phone to go to work that playlist won't work now. I've tried deleting the playlist and then recreating it under a different name and NOW some of the songs that were on both playlists won't play. It acts like it's playing, but no sound is coming out. It also is randomly skipping some of the songs.

I have an iPhone 4S. The software on the iPhone is up-to-date (iOS 5.1). My iTunes software (PC) also is up-to-date (10.6.1).I connect the iPhone to the computer. When the iPhone appears in iTunes I choose the option to sync "selected playlists, artists, albums, genres " in the Sync music area.I choose a single playlist. I sync. I then see the playlist under the iPhone (in iTunes). The songs are listed. However, 90% of the songs are grayed out. Only a few songs appear as normal entries. Still in iTunes (but under my iPhone), if I double click on any of those gray entries nothing happens.
Now to the iPhone itself: if I look at the same playlis on the iPhone (iPhone no longer connected to iTunes) I can see all of the songs listed. However, the only songs that will play are the songs that were not grayed out in the list in iTunes

Music that is not in my current iTunes will not play, and some are grayed out. Some music that was from my iTunes will work like music from cds, but mp3's wont. What I mean when I say not on my current iTunes, is that I had to switch computers due to mine breaking, so I lost all the music from that itunes and had to switch to a new computer. So the deleting and syncing trick will not work since I don't have the music anymore. Its bull if I seriously cant get my music and have to re-download everything. I thought the music would stay on the phone, even if switching computers. Is there any way to get my music to play again?

I accidentally deleted songs from my itunes but not from the cloud. Now, the songs are on my iphone 4S with the cloud logo next to them, but the original files no longer exist, so they just sit there. I have since rebought the album, and now the track listing has the unusable tracks and the purchased tracks. I want to get rid of the unusable tracks that I no longer have the original file for.

I just bought 9 songs from Amazon music download and added them to my iTunes library. I've done this before and my previous Amazon purchased music has always and still plays fine. After syncing my new music with my iPhone I found I couldn't play these 9 songs (they play fine on my Mac in itunes, just not on my phone). They have the red square in red circle symbol next to them (see screen shot) and when I tap on one to play it just skips to the next song without the red square in red circle.

Some of the songs on my device are highlighted red and do not play. I have read somewhere that this happens when the songs name begins with a number but this isn't the case.
