Songs grayed out in playlists

Internet Connection Issues: Something is going on with your Internet connection. So,...

• Try again later

• Try another network

• Try another device associated with your account

• Try Ethernet: Plug Directly into the Router, Depending on your iPad model, use one of these: Belkin Ethernet + Power Adapter with Lightning Connector - Apple

If you mean the Songs view Column Browser shown in the second screenshot in my post (the genres, artists and albums columns), - piece of cake.

On iTunes' top bar menu:

• click on View / Column Browser / Show Column Browser. Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut of CTRL+Shift+B
• then click on View / Column Browser / ... and select the columns you prefer if the defaults don't suit you:

The bottom two options on that list are very useful:

• Group Compilations: when this is selected to be on, all compilation albums (Various Artists albums) will be listed under Compilations in the Artists column. Look at that second screenshot, notice the "artist" name Compilations, below the All 1875 artists. It's often helpful to be able to look at just that part of the Library
• Use Album Artists: when this option is on, the Artists column shows only artists who have a single-artist album. It will not list any artist who only appears on compilation albums. To see every artist, turn this option off. (It might create a very long list)

As tt2 suggests, the songs are de-selected (or unticked in the Songs view)

and in the Songs view, that song will not be greyed out but it will also not have a tick in the selection box:

Either click on the song in the Songs view box, or as tt2 says, right-click in the Albums view:

No I have that in songs. I am looking for the below columns for my playlists.

One of my playlists has it but none of the others.

Ah, okay. Bear in mind that each Playlist can have its own view. So simply changing the view in one Playlist will not affect the other ones.

Try selecting the greyed out tracks, right-click, click Check Selection.
