You should try to restart the "Apple Mobile Device" service.
Here is a way to do this:
- In the windows start pane type in "Services" and look for the Services icon.
- Within Services, try to find APPLE MOBILE SERVICES,
- Right click on APPLE MOBILE SERVICES and select "restart".
- After a while iTunes should find your iPod nano automatically and the greyed out SYNC option should be back on.

Writing using all capital letters is considered agressive and offensive !

Some people might indeed consider uppercase as SHOUTING...

Shouting is indeed agressive and most annoying!

More information and how I've temporarily solved this problem. I installed the new iTunes 11 on two computers when it came out both of which have the same specs. One was an upgrade from most previous version of itunes, the other was a new install. My idea was to move my library to my other laptop as the old one was running out of space.
I copied my iTunes library over to my other laptop, installed iTunes and started making adjustments like deleting smart playlists and turning off genius. My thinking was to see if I could get iTunes to run faster on my other laptop. It did run alot faster with all the genius playlists btw.
I now have my music in two different locations; same everything minus some smart playlists. Long story short, my identical playlists that where not syncing did sync from my original laptop. so there is something different between my two laptops that is causing the sync not to work, again my guess is converting tracks to acc. Maybe the upgraded itunes has files that my new install itunes does not which allow conversion of songs to ACC.
Good news is iTunes now allows you to have multiple locations without deleting your iPod so I can retransfer all my music on my old laptop and keep the library on my new laptop. At least until Apple comes up with a fix.
Good luck, I'll drop more info if anything changes.
