ITunes Preferences, Advanced tab, reset warnings

Same thing to me. but all i did was use a vpn

Also, do not back up your iPhone with cloud turned on. That appeared to play a role in it.

Make sure you uncheck, sync over wifi

I'm getting the same behavior "This song is not currently available in your country or region".

I'm not traveling, not changing countries and haven't made any changes to itunes. It worked yesterday, not today.

I’m having exactly the same problem! At first it was just a few new songs that were greyed out, which I tried to fix it by unselecting all my music, but when I re-synced all my songs back to the phone, my entire library was greyed out and had that error message pop up. I just updated to 12.2 yesterday so I suppose this is a bug related to the new update?

Unfortunately I've tried this and a large majority of tracks have re-synced and still showing greyed out and will not play...

Even stranger, after starting another sync straight away again, one or two per album all of a sudden were then available!? No more since, though.

Does anyone have any other ideas? Would hugely appreciate any help! :)

It SEEMED to be associated with playlists (either a playlist had a bunch of grayed out songs or it didn't), so I kinda spot-checked each playlist.

Somewhat more usefully, it seemed to be associated with playlists that I had RECENTLY modified (in my case, I have been adding artwork) over, say, the past week or so.

In case that helps.

Strangely quiet? Have you actually ASKED Apple? This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Apple does not participate. Use the Contact Support link at the top of this page if you want to ask Apple.

I'm sorry I don't know how to fix this w/o resynching your music. I live in the States, and got the same message, so I don't think it has anthing to do with Country, or Region, or Airports. Basically apple, just released a bad update. It doesn't seem to affect everyone, so I don't know when, or even if they plan on fixing this. Still the number who have reported as a problem in the forum has increased to 585 people.

Same problem here with ripped music. It's clearly yet another Apple bug affecting the most basic functionality of products whose heritage began with music. Started a thread on it here:

I'll also add that removing all music and resyncing as recommended by others did not solve this problem for me, though switching to wifi syncing did help with others. I talked about everything in this thread:

My thinking was IOS 12 was more associated with the cloud than prior releases. Now with the announcement that ITunes is being phased out, their development team has created other issues.

Also, after I got my personal library back on my phone, I turned Apple Music back on. Surprisingly, some of their songs had the issue happen. I removed those song and redownloaded. I can understand personal music having issues because of how the OS recognizes the file. However, music from their service has their own DRM. There shouldn’t be an issue. I think something big is going to occur with IOS 13 and music. I have a feeling people won’t like what happens when it is released.

I’ve also had this for around 7 years. It only effects songs that happen to be on my “top 100 songs of all time” playlist so it’s especially maddening. Every 2 months or so, about 40 songs on that list will not play for no apparent reason. It seems to happen every time I update them resynch my phone. Only clue I’ve seen is the metadata about these songs has been updated (I tag them to order them in my top 100) so last modified date is different than other songs on the CD from which they were burned. It’s a very old bug that Apple can’t seem to fix.
