Check marks, symbols... some songs have them some don't want do they mean

I have purchased a few songs from the iTunes Store, copied some from CDs etc. Some of the songs have check marks some don't, some have this "radio like signal" in front of them some don't. What do these things mean? My real problem is, is that I can copy the songs with the "radio like signal sign" in front of them to my ipod but the others I can't copy or move anywhere, not playlists or on to my ipod. What am I doing incorrectly? Help!

The check boxes have a number of uses: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
The iPod has an option to only sync checked songs
The Genius & iTunes DJ features will ignore unchecked songs
Basically unchecking is a way of telling iTunes to ignore the item and exclude it from other automatic features.

How to insert check mark symbol on ipad

I use the Apple keyboard/charger w/ iPad2, and wondering if there's a way to insert a check mark symbol in Notes either w/ the hardware keyboard or the touch screen keyboard

I don't see a checkmark on the touchscreen keyboard, even by holding down on the keys to bring up the optional symbols. You can go here and copy and paste. You have to go onto this site while using the iPad. You could bookmark it for easier access.

You may find this a useful reference for the touchscreen keyboard as well.

On Itunes for Windows 7, when I click the check mark box, the song is quickly deleted and sent to the recycle box. How do I go back to when I click on the check mark box, the checkmark is either turned on or off?

Thanks for replying, but I tried that earlier and had that did not work. After your reply I did it again, shutdown itunes and rebooted system. I thought since it didn't do that earlier that might work but same results it deleted file from Itunes but no second questions to move to recycle bin.

I recently got the iPhone 4s, but my iPod has a lot of apps with a lot of data on them and don't want to start over. I already synced my iPhone from the computer that had all my apps from my iPod, how do i transfer the data over, the other apps did.

If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

Check mark next to song title

I downloaded Itunes 7.3 now I can only play 1 song at a time without checking each song, I did not have to do this before. I have 7500 songs in my library and it will take days to check mark each one. Is there a better way to make my library play without checking each song title?

if u have windows then press ctrl+s at the same time and that selects them all then click 1 or in file or sumtin it has a select all

How to use the check mark symbol in my library, how to use the check mark symbol in my library

at times when I am moving around in my iTunes library, on windows 7 64 bit computer, i alter the check marks that are in the library. I don't know exactly how I turn them off . ow can I deliberately turn them on & off en-mass? Is there a tutorial that would give me as much info as possible in utilising them? Thanks in advance Robert

Ctrl-click on an empty box to check them all or vice-versa. If you don't have a use for them turn them off (Edit > Preferences > General > Show list checkboxes). I use them to make iTunes exclude stuff like bonus interview tracks from my devices and normal album playback.

Check marks next to song title

i am new to itunes, what are the check marks in the gray boxes next to the song titles for, what happens if i uncheck all the songs?

The check boxes have a few uses:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs in the library, i.e. they will never play in order, only when individually clicked on.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
Optionally, unchecked songs will not be synced to an iPod.
Optionally, unchecked songs will not be added to a Smart Playlist.

Check marks next to songs

Hi, I searched for an answer, but was not able to find anything. I can do many things with itunes, but one thing I can not figure out is how to stop check marks from being applied to next to songs. I do not want a check mark placed next to a song unless I physically check it myself.
Can anyone tell me how to stop the automatic checking of selections in order for me to do it completely by myself, manually?
I appreciate any help..thanks.

Say you were playing all of your songs on iTunes, and you didn't want to listen to one. When you uncheck it, it skips over that song and immediately plays the next "checked" song.
Make sense?

Since 3.6.25 installed I have check marks next to all comcast emails that don't appear in IE.

3.6.25 was just installed today. When I opened up my Comcast email account (webmail) in Firefox, every email had a check mark in front of it. When I open the account in IE8 there are no check marks. And I don't seem to be able to sign out when in Firefox.

Hi donthee-
First of all, you are using a really old outdated version of Firefox. You are on version 3.6 and the current version is 10. I would highly recommend upgrading to the latest version here:

HT204150 I somehow have about 100 group name in my contacts and I want to highlight and delete them all, there is nothing in them , I don't know how they got there but with iCloud they are on all devices

IN my contacts under groups, i have about 100 Group names listed and they are empty, I never created them and they are in all our devices, is there a way to delete them without doing one at a time?

No way to get rid of them at all? Or are you saying I have to do it one by one? Thank you

Check marks to skip song playback all checked.

The check box in front of the song title is used to skip some songs in playback. Somehow all the little boxes in front of the song titles got checked. Is there a way to uncheck them in a group or do I have to go through all 4000+ songs and uncheck them.
Would appreciate any suggestions.

Running iTunes on my Mac, I have always selected a group of songs (or movies, or podcasts, or ...) then I would use the Ctrl+click (or right button click if you have a 2 button mouse). In the fly-out menu, I just hit the "check" or "uncheck" option to set or clear the checkbox for all the items I have selected.

I cannot find the many songs that I had downloaded a year ago in my itunes - they are gone? i do have them on my i pod but they are gone off my computer?

I cannot find any of the songs that I bought through i tunes and downloaded on my computer last year.

Nancy,
You can download fresh copies at no charge:
