Can’t rearrange apps within iTunes
I’ve been through a lot of nerves yesterday trying to arrange my iPhone apps within iTunes. I even had the latest version, iTunes 9.1.
I’ve tried everything: unplugging and replugging my iPhone, turning it OFF and ON, checking my iPhone for restrictions (none) and finally syncing it. The damn iTunes didn’t let me rearrange the apps. The screen with iPhone’s apps pages was greyed out with no chance of selecting the apps or pages.
After all, even worst, I couldn’t transfer any of my purchased apps from iPhone to computer. Tried to deauthorize / re-authorize my computer but it didn’t work out as well.
After 30-40 minutes of doing all of these and tired of looking on internet for answers I decided to restore the Norton Ghost back-up and then I was able of transferring the apps to my PC and then rearranging the apps on iPhone from within iTunes 9.0.
You might ask yourself, do I need to reinstall the computer operation system to get back to normality? If you don’t have a back-up of your system, as I had, you can try and I have the feeling that will work also, to uninstall and reinstall iTunes but try an older version. As I said I am using now iTunes 9.0 and seams just fine. Go for it.
Leave a reply here if works so others (including me) will know another solution to solve the problem besides reinstalling the OS or using the back-ups.
As a conclusion, I think this is an iTunes software bug. Another guessing is that iTunes is getting somehow corrupt after a while and is giving this error which is going everyone crazy.

I am having the exact same problem. My apps to the left in itunes are completely gone, and I can’t rearrange anything withing itunes. I hope this gets fixed or someone can help!
well first of all its greyed out because you didn’t tick the ‘sync’ option. Also why the “F” would you feel that your ipod is important enough to reinstall a OS? although you do have a image i guess so thats fine.
p.s i have the same problem and i went back from 9.2 to 9.0 still i can’t arrange the way i want it to
astro, you might need to backup your purchased apps, what to do if the iTunes is not working properly?
Im having the same problem. Its driving me nuts!
This is only happening wih my apps tho. I think it happened after an update. Some of my recently downloaded apps were not able to be installed either because of “unknown error”.
I had itunes 9, decided to put itunes 9.2 on because i figure all things work better with an upgrade? but this is still happening. After restoring my itouch and syncing again, Still, my apps are greyed out and wont let me do anything.
So, how do we fix it?
Actually, i just checked the settings on my itouch- i had restrictions turned on. Try turning off restrictions and it should let you access your apps on itunes
