Try this and see if it helps. Transfer purchases from your iPad into iTunes.


Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name and select Transfer Purchases. Wait and see if the iPad is transferring any purchases. After the process completes see if the apps are then accessible.


Also make sure that you are using the same Apple ID on the iPad that you used to purchase the greyed out apps with. Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID.
