What to Try:

It is likely a glitch between your device and Apple's servers. So, to fix this, two things to try:

A. Authorize the Device:

See if the device needs to be authorized to let this all to be followed through with.

Open: Music app
Go to: Account menu
Select: Authorize this device...
Proceed: with the login
See if it all syncs

Or...

B. Cancel all Greyed-Out Songs:

With all greyed-out songs having been deleted, all will likely sync.

Backup: your device
Delete: All greyed-out songs
Resync: Music
Wait: for this to resume
Try this once more

Any success?

Sorry, neither suggestion works.

Nowhere on Windows iTunes is there an option to "Authorize Device;" only "Authorize Computer" which is done already.
How do you deleted "Greyed out" selections from the iPhone? I don't see how to do that on the Windows PC. There is no options to delete songs on the iPhone that I can see.

Additionally; The songs that are greyed out on the PC are also greyed out on the iPhone. It seems that all the songs (that is, by a selected samples) seem to not play on the iPhone and there is a message "This song is not currently available in your country or region."

This is all new to me. Before I resynced the iPhone to iTunes for the first time in a year or so, this now happened. Before this sync, I had checked "manually manage music and videos" and adding new albums and songs to the phone. I was not using "Sync only checked songs and videos" as I just did when this came up.

OK,

So, I went through the list on the PC showing the phone and those that were greyed out, I deleted them directly on the phone and then resynced. This worked.

Thanks for the info.
