  • HT4623 What are the red circles with a red square in the middle by most of my music since the latest up date?

    SInce the last iso up date I have red circles with a red square in the middle by most of my music. The music is now greyed out!
    WHy?

    Sounds like it is attempting to download the tacks an is hung up.
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    You might also try opening Settings > iTunes and app store and signing out then back into you AppleID.
    Tapping on the icon you described should also stop the download.

  • My songs on ipad have a red circle with a red square in the middle and they don't play anyone know what is happening?

    Several  songs have the cloud symbol with a red arrow and I think they play. But the ones with the red circle and red square in the center do not play. Can this be fixed> What does it mean?
    Thanks in advance,

    See this Apple support document.

    You'll notice that the problem is usually associated with a failed/damaged hard drive, meaning you'll likely need to have your iPod serviced if you want to get it working again.

  • When I try to open a picture from email all I get is a yellow mozilla square in the middle of my screen and it won't go away unless I restart and I can't view the picture.

    Why can't I open pictures sent to me in email. All I get is a yellow mozilla box in the middle of my screen that won't go away unless I restart.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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 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. .

  • I have a small white dot in the middle of my screen.

    Is there something wrong with my screen itself? Is it defective? Should I bring it back to the Apple store?  The dot does not go away.  I first noticed it when I was watching movies on netflix.  I spent so much money on this laptop and having something wrong with it after 6 months just *****.

    It is possible it could be defective or damaged. Take it to an apple store and have it checked out.

  • HT4623 I have a white square in the middle of my apps screen, and I am unable to search for new apps.

    I am unable to search for new apps because I have a blank white square in the middle of the Apps screen.

    Have you tried a reset (different from just restarting)
    Hold down on both the Home button AND the Sleep/Wake button for about 10 seconds until you get to the black screen and see the Apple logo. Then let go of both buttons. This "reset" fixes a lot of weird iPad issues and might fix yours.
    Hope this helps!

  • I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

    I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.  Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well.  Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day.  MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

  • What are the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of a movieclip in the actions panel?

    What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean?  [Fig. 1]
    I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually.
    I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
    Again, any help is appreciated.
    Fig.1

    OK, I think I might have figured this out.
    First. You guys keep insisting it's the Movie Explorer. It is not. It is the Actions Panel. You can see for yourself. Option+F9 opens the Actions Panel. Option+F3 opens the 'Explorer Window'. They are similar in appearance but they're not the same thing. They're just not.
    Second. I believe that the red dots on the movieclips, and also buttons, indicates when there is actionscript directly on the movieclip and/or button, as oppose to actionscript written on a frame within a movie clip and/or button.
    You really have to pay special attention to the top of the Actions Panel right next to where it says 'Actions' there's a dash '–' and then it says either 'Frame', 'Movie Clip', or 'Button'. This indicates exactly where you're about to write script to, or where you're reading the script from, so it's important to pay attention to this.
    That left side pane, in the Actions Panel, is divided by 'Scene' and by 'Symbol Definition(s)' and it's confusing because it's possible to have a symbol appear more than once depening on where the actionscript is located (i.e. on a frame or on the movie clip or button itself).
    For example if you have script on a FRAME within movie clip A, it'll appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, without a red box, but if you were to write script on movie clip A itself, it would still not have the red box on it in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, BUT it would appear again as movie clip A in the SCENE pane, and this time it would appear with the red box next to it, casue it now has actionscript directly on the movie clip itself. Wow, how confusing is that ha. 
    Keep in mind that if you made a movie clip B, within movie clip A, and if you placed actionscripts directly on movie clip B, NOT on a frame, then movie clip B would get a red box and appear UNDER movie clip A, within the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, NOT the SCENE pane. Ha.
    If you wrote script on a FRAME within movie clip B it would appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) again, yes a second time, twice, but WITHOUT a red box. Confused yet? ha.
    I don't know why Flash decided to do it this way. But it starts to make sense when you're actually viewing it, when it's in front of you. I think this is just for actionscript 2.0 (and for actionscript 1.0 presumably), but I don't think this is the case for ActionScript 3.0, because in as3 it's all instance name based, and targeting based, so there's no such thing as writing script directly onto a symbol of any kind, button, movie clip or otherwise.
    But yeah, that's it in a nutshell.
    Thanks for trying to help anyway.

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

  • Why do I have a black square in the middle of my page

    I convert a pdf to word and it has a black square in the middle of the page.

    Hi bezigzagman,
    I'm sorry that your file didn't convert as expected. Please try the conversion from within Reader, and disable OCR by following the instructions in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. Disabling OCR can solve some conversion issues (but note that if your original PDF contains images with text, that text won't be selectable/searchable) in Word.

  • Is there a dark-red pixel in the middle of my ipad 2 screen, Apple Staff ignored it with rude manner.

    Is there a dark-red pixel in the middle of my ipad 2 screen, I 've just it for 6 days. After that I went the store (Thailand) to turn it, they told me that it's a dead pixel and Apple won't replace it to the new one - there must be more than 3 to claim.  How can I do?
    The store guy told me I should go Apple Service Center. The Center's staff kept my ipad and told that replacement depends on Regional office at Singapore.
    She also blame me that "Why don't you look for dead pixel before you brought?"
    What !!! Dead Pixel is the fault of Apple Factory, but she said like I'm so stupid to brought a dead-pixel ipad.
    "If you want me to do something on your case call to Singapore by yourself" she said.
    After I called to Singapore, I found myself the staff there treated me so bad and confuse.
    1. The first guy at Singapore said  "Because you 've just brought it for 6 week you can choose between replacement or refund, but leave me your numbers we will call you back."
    2. Shortly, a rude guy called me - said to me about Bright and Dead Pixel - then said "It's not our authority to replace ipad for you, you paid your money for our dealer (Store in Thailand), so you must ask for resposibility from them. "
    What !!!!! He treated me like I'm not a customer. Store and Care Center in Thailand told me it ups to Singapore, but Singapore told me not.
    Who lied? However, I'm still Apple Customer. Whatever country I brought it, I paid for Apple product. Where are thier responsibilities?
    I hope, Apple U.S. is my last resort.

    Given that you can return/exchange it for any reason within the 14-day window after you bought it, you shouldn't have any problems.
    Do you live near an Apple retail store? That may be your best bet. It certainly worked for me: I ordered mine online and when I noticed an air bubble embedded in the glass, I brought it to my local Apple Store and 15 minutes later walked out with a replacement. No fuss whatsoever.

  • I have the sound effects icon in the middle of my screen, how do I remove it?

    I have the sound effects icon in the middle of my screen and I want it to go away! How do I get rid of  it?

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that fixes it.

  • Red artifact blob shows up in the middle of my screen when there are dark colours showing

    Does anyone know what this is? Or why it is happening? There is a red blob-ish artifact that is on the middle of my screen and you can notice it when there are dark colours on the screen. It's really annoying when I'm trying to watch movies or play games that have dark scenes. (The picture quality isn't that great, but you can kinda see the red blob I'm talking about.)
    Any thoughts?

    I'm having the same problem. Only noticed it after installing OS X Lion.
