There are folders checked and syncing in the Photos tab of my iTunes sync page that do not permit me to check or uncheck them. They are fine and completely updated when synced. But I'd like to uncheck some of them and stop them from being on my iPhone. What can I do?
MacBook Air, iOS 5.0.1
Check out my situation. I think this will answer your question.
In my sync instructions toward the top of the Photos tab, I have said to sync the 5 most recent events. Therefore, down a bit lower where the events are shown, the five most recent events are checked and grayed out.
thx for responding, but I am choosing which folders I want and would like to continue to choose them. The fact that this response is nearly 12 hours late is proof of Apple's inneptitude with social software. I am choosing the folders. But almost half my list of folders is greyed out. It seems like a multiple computer authorisation problem ... but it is definitely not. Please ... everyone ... help.
Is this more difficult or more scarce than it looks? All software is up-to-date. All devices are recognized and authorized. iCloud is involved. Do the gray folders relate to iCloud? Must I change settings in iCloud? Use only iCloud? Not use iCloud?

First, let's clear up this misunderstanding. We are Apple users here. We volunteer to help out folks with issues. We do not punch a time clock. We respond at our discretion if and when we like.

I suggest you attach a screen shot much as I did in my earlier response. Show the "Sync Photos from" line as I did along with the selections underneath. Then attach another screen shot showing your grayed- and not grayed-folders. Remove any personal identifying information.
Sorry for sounding like you owe me. And for presuming my understanding was as complete as your explanation. I am attaching the screen from iTunes with folders gray and checked. With no option to uncheck them. I hope you can help me understand.
The screen shot will help both of us understand immensely - thanks for posting it.
I assume the event "MDGN - Calendar 2014" is an example of an event that you would like to uncheck - if only you were allowed to do so.
The reason you cannot uncheck this is that at the top of your screen shot, you said to "automatically include --- events from the last 6 months." So undoubtedly, MDGN - Calendar 2014 is an event that is less than six months old, and therefore you cannot unchieck it.
Wow. Easy if you just understand english! Thx for the help. And the counsel. All well meant.
Why are some iPhoto folders greyed out in iTunes
