Is anyone else getting tired of seeing red circles with squares in them?

my music isn't playing, it's only coming up with red circles with squares in it, and most of it is purchased music not just downloaded...is there anyway to fix this??

I talked to an apple care specialist and they helped me fix this. Go to itunes, and uncheck sync music and then apply. Then after the songs been deleted from your device, check sync music and apply and all your music will be downloaded again!!! Hope this helps!!!

  • Dotted circles next to songs, won't sync, red circle with square?

    I've tried everything and NOTHING works... At first I had those stupid dotted circles next to every song. I restored it to original settings(as told by apple support), then re-synced everything and the songs started downloading and I was ecstatic. But then about half the songs were playable and the other half had the red circle with square inside. I was also told it will take awhile for them fully download considering I have somany songs. I waited over 12 hours with the ipod still connected and nothing changed.
    I then saw that someone else on this posted and said to uncheck 'sync songs', sync the device, then click on sync songs and re-sync it, but then that resorted back to where I first started, back to every song having those dotted circles next to them.
    I've contacted apple about this issue numerous time and it just seems like they have no idea what they're doing. They were really nice and tried to help as much as they could, but in the end they were absolutely no help and the problem still existed. If anyone could please help me, I'd gladly appreciate it. I have no what to do anymore besides buy a new iPod, and I'd rather not over a stupid problematic thing like this.
    I started a new discussion because no one was replying to the older ones anymore.
    Every single song is like and they won't sync.... It is frustrating me so much. I listen to music constantly through-out my day and It annoys me that I hjave to stay at the computer to listen to them. Just a few weeks ago everything was all peachy and worked. In the past weeks I've updated to iOS 7.0.2 and then iOS 7.0.3 the other day. I sometimes wish I hadn't updated to iOS 7, because I never had an issue like this before in the past 10 years of me owning and Apple iPod.

    An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • Remove Red Circles with Square in middle

    REMOVE RED CIRCLES WITH SQUARE IN THE MIDDLE AND PLAY SONGS:
    1: Connect your iDevice.
    2: Navigate into your device and on to your Music tab. Uncheck Sync Music.
    3: Check that all of your songs are being imported by going in to Music in the On This Phone tab.
    The gray text songs represent that they have to be manually installed inside your device by pressing the iCloud button where the "red circle of death" used to be .
    HAPPY SYNCING!!!

  • Iphone not being recognized by Itunes so I cannot fix the songs with the red circles with squares in the middle

    I have an Iphone 4s and i have two reocurring problems. So my first problem was after I had synced all my music most of the new songs and some old that never had a problem before had a red circle with a red square inside of it. I've gotten rid of it before but I dont even know how. I've read countless discussions and tried so many things that I dont even know what works. i figured it just fixed in time but there has to be an easier way that isnt so frustrating and annoying. So now my iphone isnt even being recognized. the apple mobile device is installed and running and has been stopped, started and restarted plenty of time. ive reset and restarted, reinstalled everything. my phone is charging, it just isnt being recognized by itunes or my pc. also in the device manager it isnt showing up. I am getting very close to smashing my iphone and switching to an android. everything is up to date and i also have tried to sync music on the first ipod touch that came out and even that isnt being recognized. I just want to get rid of the **** red circles and connect my iphone so i can sync it a million times in hopes that the red circles will just disappear. does anyone know why these red circles appear? Apple needs to get their stuff together and give us actual directions on how to fix this!!!! thank you for your help!!!

  • Red circles with square dots in center

    What is the reason I suddenly saw this red circles appearing on a whole series of songs?

    Looks like you have a corrupted music library.  Sometimes this happens after an iOS update.  Give this a try:
    1. Open iTunes on your PC.
    2. Connect your iPhone to your PC with a USB cable.
    3. Select "File" on iTunes.
    4. Select "Devices".
    5. Choose "Transfer purchases".
    6. Let your iPhone sync.
    7. Disconnect your iPhone after syncing.
    8. You should now play your music files on your iPhone without having any problem.

  • Red Circle with Red Square back to haunt me.  Apple Techs where are you, why wasn't this addressed in iOS 7.04?

    Red Circle With Square - I had the red circle with square for two weeks. I did everything listed in every forum to still end up with a smart phone that couldn't play music(iPhone 4s).  After I finally reformatted my HDD and reinstalled a freshcopy of MAVERICKS from USB and wiped my phone it went away. 
    Then it came back.   A week after I finally resolved my problem, 3 days after 7.04 release, I loaded a store bought CD and BAM!!!, all 7288 songs on my iphone no longer played, now I am back to ground zero and getting somewhat fed up.  This is ridiculous.

  • Anyone else getting JavaScript TypeError - Null value?

    Anyone else getting JavaScript TypeError - Null value? I get it on Amazon all the time now. Nothing seems to fix it... What's up with Safari and Java?

    Java and Javascript are different. For more on their differences see:
    http://members.ozemail.com.au/~phoenix1/html/getstart.htm
    That said, Javascript which fails in Safari usually is something that is non-standard since Safari makes a genuine effort to follow http://www.w3.org/ standards. If you encounter a website that doesn't follow these standards, point them to http://www.anybrowser.org/ for guidance on making more uniformly compatible websites. In the meantime there are many other web browsers made for Mac OS X like Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Omniweb, Camino, Internet Explorer, Opera, and iCab. If you find a website that doesn't behave well in Safari, use the Report bug to Apple in the Safari menu. There is a Safari Enhancer which has a User Agent submenu in the Debug menu it enables. That same Debug menu can be enabled from Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal via this command line:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
    The User Agent specified will spoof certain websites into thinking you are using a different web browser. In the end though, it usually is better to inform webmasters when their website is not accessible.

  • Is anyone else getting the " itunes encountered a problem and needs to close " message on xp

    is anyone else getting the " itunes encountered a problem and needs to close " message on windows XP

    I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
    that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
    hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
    try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
    does iTunes launch properly?

  • Anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    Hi, couple of things to try...
    Anonymous
    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

  • Anyone else get a NX6800 TD128 with GDDR3?

    I did.  When I got it back from Rma, I didnt notice the box, i paid more attention to puttin it back in my system so I could be playin again. Last night I noticed it said "128mb DDR3" on the box. So today, I found a program to determine specifications and sure enough, I've got GDDR3 memory.  I guess that explains why I can get it up to 350/950. Just curious, did anyone else get GDDR3 on there 6800nu?

    that´s the gift from MSI,everyone who have problem with this card,just send it to RMA headquarters and they give you DDR3.but also you can´t say everyone you get it.it´s secret.they wanna you as a potencial customer again and that is the reason.but as i now you must pay a shipment to them,but it´s still less money than the 6800 GT or ULTRA costs,and with DDR3 you can have it from this card.......very good.....i wanna problemous 6800non-u

  • Anyone else getting MORE than 24 hrs on their rentals?

    Just as the subject says, I was wondering if anyone else getting more than 24 hrs on their rentals? So far I have gotten to play my rented movie for over 24 hours. I checked and the file is still on my hard drive. I assume I am not continuing to pay for this movie, but who knows?

    It happened to us with the only movie we've rented so far. I had been fooling around with the iMac remote trying to figure out why I couldn't start the movie with that, when iTunes crashed (a first for me!!). So the next day when I discovered the countdown timer was off, I assumed that crash must have affected the time stamp on it. The movie stayed around for at least 48 hours after we first started it, then disappeared as expected.
