HT1689 I'm seeing a cloud symbol with a down arrow. What does that mean?

On my Iphone (4S) after downloading IOS7 I'm seeing a cloud symbol with a down arrow next to songs loaded on my phone. What is this and what can I do with it?

These are songs you have purchased from the iTunes Store, but haven't actually synced to the phone. You can tap the cloud icon to download these songs directly to the phone, but make sure you are on wifi unless you have unlimited data.

I have recently done a full restore because my iPad and iPhone were mis-behaving and wouldn't work they way I expected with Windows XP and Outlook 2003 and now when I check iCloud.com, all my documents are gone, yet my iPad hints that they may still be somewhere but where are they?

That is the orientation lock symbol, you can not go to landscape orientation. Tap the home button twice, swipe the task bar to the right, tap on the 'circle' icon at the left to unlock the orientation. You will then be able to view items in portrait and landscape mode.

Hello. I don't live in the U.S. and I'd like to buy a new mini IPad retina. But I see it is offered with four mobile operators. Does that mean I cannot use another operator, in my country, with it?

DL of podcast stopped with error of -3259 what does that mean?

Eventually the problem resolved itself. I live in Asia (Thailand) and I think the Problem had something to do with all the cut cables and the lag/latency/dropped packet/disconnects that were going on around the time where all the cables were on the fritz and the internet out here was at a crawl.
Thanks for the tips though on having what ports open, very useful thanks!

HT2513 When accept an appointment in iCAL, I often get a box with dashed lines. What does that mean and how do I correct it

The appointment appears in iCal as a box with dashed lines. I have been unable to find out wha this means and a method to change it to a normal solid box.

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are safely connected go to the iPod Summary tab and make sure "manually manage music and videos" is checked:
iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone

HT1222 I have the last generation iPad 4 and seem to not update software iOS 7 it says can't install coz I'm no longer connected to the Internet when I see I clearly am connected to the Internet what does that mean

HELP

Exactly how are you trying to update? OTA (over the air) via the device? If so, instead try to update by connecting the device to your syncing PC with the latest version of iTunes installed.

If your balance due is in the negatives that means that you have a credit balance (i.e. VZW owes you money), that will normally be deducted from your next bill. As for your bank not reflecting the payment yet, it can take a few days for VZW to actually pull if from your account, but they post payments on their side immediatley.

Please help. I recently upgraded to IOS 8.2 and i realised
that all my downloaded videos from itunes have somewhat vanished. I see the
cloud sign with the downward arrow. However they won’t play, i am being
required to DOWNLOAD them again. This is both in my iPhone and Ipad. Is there
any other way to go around this? As I do not want to download a second time,
that would cost me more money.

Hello ogojohn,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
The icon indicates an item that is available for download. This is usually because it has been downloaded previously by the account you are logged in under and will not be charge again for the download. See the following article, while it references iTunes for Mac and not iOS, it is the same.

You must have a counterfeit iPod since that latest model sold by Apple is the 5G.
Assuming y have a 5G with iOS 7, that means those songs are available for download via iCloud. To download just tap on the song/icon when an internet connection is availalbe.
Of yo do not want those to show, go to Settings>iTunes and App Store>SOW ALL and turn off Music.

TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.
