Blue dot next to some movies

since update I have received blue dots next to movies i've gotton off of itunes and when i try to play them on ATV it tells me not correct format but they are iTunes movies I've purchased from the site is this a glitch or there something else that should have been done after the update? Thanks in advance

After last update I had a lot of issues like that where in the past all was good.
To finally fix I un paired the computer to the AppleTV (thus it erased the AppleTV).
I then shut down everything. Started modem back up. Waited. Started Router up. Waited. Started computer back up. Waited. Started AppleTV, waited. Then told AppleTV to sync with a computer, got the code. Went to computer and re-entered code to pair up for syncing. Then set all my sync options and let it resync everything back like before. After that all was good.
Now you can just try unplugging your AppleTV and turning off Computer. Reboot computer, wait, then plug in AppleTV. Then try that before going the whole re-setup process. Odds are that will fix it.
Blue dots just means AppleTV and iTunes both think you have never watched that file.

  • Blue dot next to unwatched movies?

    Under "My TV show" I can see a blue dot next to my unwatched shows. This feature does not seem available in the "My Movie"....
    Is this normal?
    Thanks

    The blue dot means the file in question has not been viewed by you yet, either in iTunes on your computer or on the AppleTV. You've probably opened all the movie files already, hence no blue dot. You can mark the files as "New" in iTunes and get the dot back if you really want.

  • Blue dots next to movies listed in Apple TV tab on iTunes?

    When I open Apple TV in iTunes and go to the movie tab, some of my movies have a blue dot next to them and others don't. What does this mean?

    The blue symbol means the movie has not been viewed. You can do a search in ITunes that will list that will explain all of the other symbols.

        Hello goldwingryder,
    I'd be happy to explain the spinning star. This icon helps to indicate when there is any network activity on your device. It also may be used by some third-party apps when they are actively being used.

    I had a year long CC membership that expired at the beginning of the October.
    After realizing that, I attempted to start a free trial of photoshop to work on a project. My Adobe account states that i'm on a trial, but my (Mac) dashboard CC app won't allow me to start the program. I have reinstalled both Creative Cloud and Photoshop CC but still get this message.

  • Blue dots next to TV shows I HAVE SEEN - can I get rid of these?

    I just updated to iTunes 7.1.1 and now many of my TV Shows have blue dots next to the episode numbers, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN THEM.
    I can Reset Play Count, but this does not Clear the STUPID blue dots.
    How do I clear them?
    ( Note: If I Reset Play Count on other shows, a blue dot DOES NOT appear.)

    There should be a Tool-Tip when you roll the cursor over the blue dot to say what the stupid thing is...
    ( What it is, is Mostly Wrong )

  • Red circle with blue dot next to a mail message, red circle with blue dot next to a mail message

    Received a mail message on my iPhone and next toit there is a red circle with a blue dot inside it. Normal messages have a solid blue dot when unread. What does the red circle with blue dot mean?

    I would agree with Barney if the question had been an e-mail in the inbox but in the sent folder I still wonder why the blue dot. I also had this happen for the first time today 6/27/13. I resent both figuring it might mean the mail had not been sent properly.
    No, it means unread, had you opened the mail in the sent folder the blue dot would have gone away.

  • Why is there a small blue dot next to the wifi icon in my menu bar?

    I just noticed today the small blue dot to the bottom right of the wifi icon in my menu bar. It was not there since I bought the macbook a couple of days ago. Just noticed it a couple of hours ago. Does anybody know what it means? Everything works fine with the wifi connection and the computer in general.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's part of your wallpaper, so don't worry about it. Your menu bar is translucent, so it's normal that you can see part of the wallpaper on the menu bar

  • What is the blue circle next to some apps in ios7?

    There is a blue circle next to many of my apps now in ios7.  It doesn't seem to be that they are apps that are running, but I can't seem to figure out a reason for it.

    It means those are new apps or apps that have had updates since you last used it/them.

  • Light blue dot next to Sound icon on the Menu Bar

    Today I noticed that a light blue dot is neary attached to the Sound icon on Mavericks' Menu Bar.  It may have been there from the time I upgraded but I just noticed it today.  Anyone know what that indicates?

    Or turn off 'Transucent menu bar' in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop.

  • Blue Dot, and stop remembering position?

    I have 2 questions-
    1st, does anyone know why there is a blue dot next to some of my iPhone's videos/movies?
    2nd, some people are having issues with not remembering playhead position, but I'd like to know, is there any way to turn OFF remembering playhead position? I'd like my video/ movies to play from the beginning, no matter where I left off last time I played them.
    Thanks in advance.

    To make a particular video forget playback position, right click or control click on the video and choose get info.
    Click on the options tab, and there is a check box to remember playback position. Uncheck and click ok.
    To make a selection of songs forget playback position, click on the top video and hold down the shift key and click on the las video. This will highlight everything in-between.
    Now you can right click or control click on the selection and choose get info.
    A different window will come up, but there is a drop down at the bottom for remembering playback position.
