What's with those annoying ! exclamation points

I know have double the number of tracks I actually should have in my iTunes, because iTunes cannot find the appropriate tracks in the external hard-drive. Now I understand the concept of it, and bravo... but how do I now delete those tracks without having to do it each and every one? can u sort? (no), can u use some kind of logic?
Pleas help... this is simple.

  • Red square with circle, grey exclamation point AND iTunes won't sinc new songs?

    I have just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3 and for some reason my music on my phone will not play. Every song comes up with a red square with a red circle around it and simply will not play. Looking on iTunes now - every time I try to play a song a grey exclamation point with a grey circle pops up next to the song and again WILL NOT PLAY!
    I've heard that it iTunes might be having trouble finding the source of the song (which its never had trouble doing before) so I deleted one song and tried to replace it back on there only to find that it is now not sincing new songs either! This new song is very light grey in colour and has the spotted circle next to it.
    I don't even know where to start fixing these problems.
    Additional Information:
    I have my phone set up to Sinc only checked songs and videos.
    I drag and drop my songs into the 'On this iPhone' heading rather than sicing the whole thing as I share this computer with my brother.
    Am I going to have to downgrade my iOS back to what it was?
    I really hope someone out there can help!

    [[UPDATE]] SOLVED - I've restarted both my computer and my phone and tried to re-drop in that one song that was coming up light grey. It's now sinced and playing on Itunes and is the ONLY song on my phone. No more exclamation mark or red square.
    Looks like I'm going to have to delete all the songs and replace them into my itunes.
    *sigh*
    Thank you Apple for this smooth, easy going update. Much appreciated.

  • Ipod keeps resetting itself with folder and exclamation point.

    Well, I was listening to some music one day when my ipod just shut off on me.
    I reset it because it wont turn back on and it shows me the apple emblem and then a folder with an exclamation point and then shuts off. It will do this as long as I am willing to stand there and keep pushing any button.
    At one point and time it would actually make an audible spinning sound and then come to a halt and repeat that over and over again.
    I tried charging it and nothing changed.
    I tried hooking it up to the computer and the computer does not even recognize it being connected anymore.
    Could a bad/corrupted song possibly ruin the ipod? Anything suggestions as to what my problem may be?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • Can't sync with Google Calendar - exclamation point beside cal name

    I am trying to sync iCal with Google Calendar using this recipe:

    However, once I have entered my Google calendar info, I only get an exclamation point beside the calendar name of the calendar I just created.
    I get no error message, nothing, just an exclamation point.
    Any idea what's wrong?

    Just tried creating a brand new Google-account, but I get the same error when I try to sync it with iCal ...
    ... which leads me to believe this is an iCal-error?

  • Apple logo flashes with battery and exclamation point alternately

    i have an ipod nano, everything was going fine until the battery ran out, when I plugged it back in the thing flashes the apple logo alternately with a battery and exclamation point. If the battery is completely dead then fine I will replace it but is that what it really is?

    Have you tried connecting the iPod to different USB ports and/or another computer?
    You can also take a look at this website, which may help figure out what's wrong with your iPod.

  • I hate that blasted file with that blasted exclamation point!

    I have a 20GB, 3rd Generation ipod (the one with the buttons on top). I got it used this past summer. For the most part it has worked perfectly up until a month ago. Early Febuary my ipod started showing that file with the exclamation point. I tried to connect it to my computer as soon as possible, but my computor said it could not recognize whatever was connected to it's USB port. My ipod just starts showing the Apple logo and then the file w/!then it resets itself and does the process all over again. I can restart it, but even if it's in disk mode the computer still wont recognize it. I thought it would have to do with that itunes 1-10-2006 version update, but since my ipod isn't even recognized there must be something I'm missing. I've been without my ipod for over a month now and I've been living off of cd's and it *****! I need my ipod back...could anyone help me out?

    Here is some hope. I've had that problem many a time. This solution will not cure the problem, but it will alieviate it for a certain period of time.
    This is not a joke either.
    Drop it onto its back onto a thick carpet from a little less than waist height. It will snap the arm on the hardrive back into the track. I have only had to repeat this 2x in the past 9 months. It works pretty well and almost always works after 1 try. Its better than going and waiting at the genius bar for 2+ hrs to have your ipod sent away for 1 week and then given a refurbished.

  • When I click on almost any picture, in any album, to enlarge it, the pic starts to enlarge and then all I get is a black screen with a large exclamation point in the center.  What have I done to my iPhoto program, and how do I fix it?

    Recently, whenever I click on almost any of my pictures, in any album, in order to enlarge that photo, it starts to enlarge but then,
    very quickly I get a black screen with a large white exclamation mark in the middle.  And no full sized photo. Boo!
    What did I do to my iPhoto program, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Mike H.

    I'm sorry.  Too old to understand this stuff.  I'm sure this seems real stupid to you.  But I have no idea how one
    would "right click on the Original iPhoto Library" (I know, I know, 'as stated").
    Do I right click on the symbol in the dock??  Or open it first and then, . .  I can't find a way to right click on the word iPhoto in the top bar.
    Or should I open the program you had me download.  There I can find something called "original iPhoto library".
    When I "right click" on that I get some options.  None of them are "original folders".  There's "reveal library in finder", and "dupilicate library and "sort libraries".  I have no idea if any of these are what you want, or if any of these might change something.
    When I clicked on "reveal library in finder" earlier on it showed me the copy of the photo library that I made a while ago, sitting right where I know it is on my desktop.  And if I click on that symbol it shows me all the pictures again.  Just like in my regular iPhoto files - all the thumbs are there, but most can't be opened to full sized.
    Are we making progress here?  I'm sure this is frustrating to you.  This is just pictures of family.  Even the thumbs are nice to look at.  But this is nothing critical - like work related or anything.
    Thanks.

    Although this is the mistake of the poster, i can see around 5 - 10 replies for such posts in a few seconds. Most of the replies are posted with Copy + paste content from SAP documentation/ other sites, some link farms etc.
    What i feel is this type of replies only encourages other people to post such basic questions again and again.
    So i think a little amendment need to be added to the Forum guidelines prompting members not to post replies/links to basic questions which can be easily searched.

    Hi Karthik,
    Your BAPI example took a whack together with all it's answers and the other questions by the same lazy bones fresher.
    There is no real answer to your question, because more usable expert forums and keeping the quality up to standard is a constant thing. Each new batch of freshers brings new challenges with them, and new types of points-gaming, etc. So it is the journey which counts
    At other times some tollerance is also appropriate - for example when the person has language problems and is using a translator.
    But for the lazy bones who don't even have common sense, there is no SDN medication available. No amount of waiving the rules at them helps. The only think which can be done is to delete it on sight and try to catch them as early as possible.
    For this the folks who use the Abuse Reports button are the true heros of the forums, as it is impossible for moderators to be everywhere all the time.
    Cheers and thank again!

  • I have a lot of songs that have ended up with a (!) exclamation point by

    them. Is there a way to solve this all at once, or am I seriously going to have to go and find each and every song? What causes this to happen? So aggravating!!!!

    Control-clicking on an empty check box will check all displayed tracks in the current playlist/source. Likewise, control-clicking a checked box unchecks everything.

  • What does the black screen with large exclamation point mean?

    I'm trying to edit, or even just select a photo in iPhoto, but can't get it to come up - just the black screen with a large exclamation point. What does that mean, and how do I get back control of my photos?

    It means your database is corrupted and that iPhoto has lost the link between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the actual file.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Black screen with exclamation point when trying to view photos

    In iphoto 8, when I try to make some pics bigger by clicking on it, the screen changes to a black screen with a white exclamation point in it. This does not happen to all the photos, only some of them. Can someone tell me what happened and how do I fix it?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards

  • New ATA channel with an exclamation point appear in the device manager at each start (when no new device has been installed)

    Good morning,
    My desktop, (Win7 64, AMD cpu/ Gigabyte mother board) , started to generate strange problems such as my laser usb printer not reachable even after disinstal/reinstall.
    I took a look in the device manager, and found 2 ATA channel with an exclamation point, "drivers not found'. I also found a USB universal controller with the same exclamation point and the same error.
    I changed nothing in terms of Bios since the machine was built (AHCI, Raid not active). The main drive is a SSD on primary SATA port, classic drive on the second port.
    I deleted the 3 items, the printer started to work again.  They reappeared after the next reboot.
    Weird thing: it looks like the problems appeared after connecting/disconnecting a Nikon camera to one of the usb port (identified as a mass storage device).
    I ran multiple scans (root) in case a virus would have generated the problem, negative.
    Last point (can't tell if it's related or not), my browsers started crashing randomly.
    Thank you

  • Exclamation point in iPhoto after transferring with Time Machine

    Hi there -- I just got a new MacBook Pro, upgrading from a MacBook from 2008.  On my old MacBook, I used Time Machine to back up my entire computer, including all my photos in iPhoto.  On my old MacBook, all of my photos in iPhoto seem fine.  However, I used Time Machine to set up my new MacBook Pro, but there is a big issue with the photos in iPhoto.  When I first opened iPhoto on the MacBook Pro, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade my library or something like that.  I said yes.  Now, there appear to be tons of photos missing, particularly from recent "events."  By missing, I mean that there is neither a thumbnail image, nor is there an actual photo when I click on it -- it's the black screen with the grey exclamation point.  These seem to be scattered throughout many of my "events," however, with some events missing all the photos and other events missing photos seemingly at random.
    I have seen other posts about holding down option and command while starting iPhoto and repairing/rebuilding the library.  I have tried this and it didn't work. Because the photos all seem fine on my old MacBook, I'm guessing the best option is to just try to re-load my photos in some way from Time Machine.  I have been unable to find a post, however, that explains how I can import just the photos from my Time Machine.  There are hundreds of photos that seem to be affected and as I stated, they seem to be at random, so it's not as easy as just picking a few out.
    Thanks so much for any help!!
