ITunes 8 - Visualizer/White Circles

Just installed iTunes 8 and when I run the visualizer I'm seeing huge white circles floating around the visualizations where I guess something epic and awesome should be.
I'm running 1gb of ram, Windows XP Pro SP3.
Thanks!

Hi Jason L.,
Thanks again for your time in trying to help me with this problem. Unfortunetly, this did not resolve the issue. In most of the other visualizers, I do not see the white circles - it seems to me by the way they move around that my computer is unable to render them fast enough/good enough. When ever they get smaller, they render in a way I imagine would be in intentional, but when they grow, the issue comes back. This, therefore, does appear in some of the other visualizers.
I did try the advice in the article (I clicked through to the XP version, but did disable Direct3D and even DirectX during another try), and it did not resolve the issue after I restarted iTunes 8.
Thanks,
Matt

Hello puma1552,
Are you referring to the *Do Not Disconnect* screen display while your iPod is plugged into and syncing with iTunes? Check out this Apple support document for its meaning and why you are receiving this icon. This icon always appears when you are syncing your iPod with iTunes. It's basically a warning message telling you that the iPod is currently in use and should not be removed.

Black screen with white circle every 5 seconds, after water damage

my ipod touch (3gen.32gb) had water damage 3 days ago. now as it dried, i connected it to itunes and restored, but it keeps showing black screen with white circle every 3-5 seconds. could this be a software problem or is it all because of water? i put it in recovery mode, and restored again, but it did not help, is there anything i could do to stop it ? thanks

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am trying to export a Pages document to a pdf, and a tiny black rectangle with a small white circle keeps showing up. I can't seem to delete it in my pages document. help!

I am using Pages, 5.2.2., on a MacBook Air, system 10.9.5., and I have a formatting question. I am making a small brochure, and it seems like in some places for reasons unknown, when I have a return, there's a small black-filled rectangle, about the size of one letter, with a small white circle inside of it appearing. I want to get rid of that little symbol. I keep trying to press delete, but then I lose my return/spacing. (Can you tell I'm a brute beginner?) Help! And thanks!

It sounds like you are using a Chinese font.
Use something else eg Times or Helvetica or any European font.
If the character disappears, its the font.

HT201401 My iphone 4s turned off properly but when I went to put it back the apple icon came on and then an image I have never seen before of a ubs pointiing towards the word itunes in a circle. And the phone no longer goes beyond this message. meltdown

My phone started acting up and I noticed my text messages were not being sent. So I turned my iphone off. My iphone 4s turned off properly but when I went to put it back the apple icon came on and then an image I have never seen before of a UBS pointiing towards the word itunes in a circle. And the phone no longer goes beyond this message. I try to turn it off and on again and same message over and over. If I hit the any button on the phone nothing happens. Does anyone know what this means or seen this itunes messaging ? meltdown? Please help.

Hello Raja,
Thank you so much for your response. I had these photos backed up on iCloud but, had I not, its good to have an alternate solution as the one you suggested. Actually, I went to the Apple store today and yes, you are absolutely correct Restoring in iTunes will result in permanent loss of photos unless backed up somewhere such as iCloud or other solution. Well, what they did was restore the phone in itunes ( I did not have iTunes downloaded to my computer which is why it did not work when I went to do it myself, I needed to go to the iTunes site and go to the download iTunes button because my windows based HP laptop does not come with itunes already downloaded). This retoration process took a while and I was forced to upgrade to the latest 7.1 iOS software which I was not too happy about -sometimes you like the way things work now :-) Anyhow, they said this restoration request happens as a result of a software update (which I was NOT in progress of an update or doing an update) or sometimes when you remove the power cable too quickly from the iphone (which I do not recall doing this either but...). Since I had backed up on iCloud all of the photos were downloaded back on my iphone 4s. Best of all was that my phone was back up and runnning and there was NO CHARGE at the apple store for this service of restoring my phone. Well, I just wanted to share the results and I appreciate all the responses and support I received. Thank you kindly.

Black screen/white circles in upper left when testing iPad3 Retina app (Air 3.3)

I'm developing for iOS, particularly the iPad 3, on Windows. I downloaded the AIR 3.3 SDK and added it to Flash Pro CS6 per this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4583745#4583745
My app runs fine in Air 3.2 but you can't run apps at Retina resolution with 3.2. If I compile the app with 3.3, it compiles dramatically faster (roughly 10x faster) but when I try to run it on the iPad, all it displays is a black screen, with five small white circles in a horizontal line in the upper left corner of the screen. The circles are animated like an old console progress indicator, cycling through showing one, two, three, four, then all five of them.
I've tried Googling this but if I search "white dots" I get dead pixels, and a bunch of miscellaneous unrelated results if I search "white circles". Does anyone know what might cause this issue or a solution for it?

It turns out you have to enable SWC in the Publish settings for a Retina/iOS5.1 app to work. You don't need the SWC under AIR3.2.

I can't get rid of a white circle on my ipod touch screen

there's a white circle on my ipod screen. i can move it around, but i can't get rid of it. it seems that it's a shortcut button, but i don't want it there. how can i get rid of it?

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothning except your problem will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and see if an accessibility feature is turned on.

Can't move files - white circle with white line through it?

OsX 10:4:10
Suddenly I cannot move files from one drive to another, or from drive to desktop. Recently updated everything.
White circle with white line through it appears.
Network awaiting news footage. I'm stuck. What might this be?
Any help would be most appreciated,
Ben

Hi megagram & dreed2,
Thanks for staying with me on this.
USB drive and errant file both have 'read and write' clicked. There is no 'ownership' choice in the info pop-up.
Nor is there 'Ignore ownership on this volume' choice for the USB drive.
I'm using an administrator account. I created a 'root' account, but it didn't seem to have any effect - didn't fix the problem. (I don't like messing around with 'root' account stuff.)
I'm not running as a 'client in a Mac OSX Server environment'. Just as an 'admin' with the one tower and a rotating bunch of external drives (projects).
I did a work-around for now ... shipped the 'unmoveable' file out to an ftp site (it would allow me to do this), and I haven't heard if the downloaded file is causing any problems on the other end (yet).
If I come across a solution I'll post. It may have something weird to do with that funky drive (now returned to its owner), and me creating this particular file that same day as the funky drive was giving me problems. (Though the file was not ON the drive.)
And the (almost new) computer did go down for a day last week ... would not reboot ... took it to the shop, nothing wrong with it, brought it home, it's been working fine ever since. Go figure.
Thank you kindly for all your suggestions...

White circles in picture when using flash

When I take a picture using the flash, I get large white circles in the picture. The circles are perfectly round. They are always in the same location.
Zooming in changes the size of the circles.
I have only had the phone for a month. This just started happening a couple of days ago.

Zooming in simply enlarges the image so the circles will appear larger.
If it's only on the image when you use flash, the sensor is obviously fine so I would suggest an issue with the rear of the camera...maybe a film or smearing around the flash itself?
If not, please post an image somehow

Can I use captured footage of the itunes visualizer in videos?

I know someone already asked about still images captured from the visualizer but I've been screencapturing the performance of the Itunes visualizer playing along to some of my bands music, obviously it pulses itself to whatever music is being played, and I also sort of choreograph sequences by enabling and disabling the freeze and camera lock, and using mode changes. I then take the footage and often mirror image the video sort of like a Rorshact Test and sometimes layer that with a kaleidoscope effect or other random video images and effects I've created and or recorded and I sync that to my bands music.
So I would like to use this stuff as sort of videos and background for our music and posting it to Youtube, I really just intend it as something to play along with the music that may or may not be interesting to watch, I'm not interested in passing this off as like my sole artistic creation. Of course I have no problem stating that I used the Itunes Visualizer to generate graphics and source material for these intended videos but is that enough? I have seen other people posting videos that contain images and sequences of the visualizer in various other contexts like tutorials and the like on Youtube, also Im not exactly making nor do I expect to make any kind of money off this, its mostly just for me and my friends, still I dont want to infringe/plagiarize anything but I'm curious where that all stands. Who exactly would I credit, Apple the entity or the actual, specific programmers of the visualizer, what about the specific algorhythms? How would I go about asking for a release?
I've tried looking all over the place for similar questions, the one with still images was the closest but not specific enough, so I hope I'm not double posting or anything.
I of course appreciate any advice on this but I'd really appreciate as specific an answer as possible. If it's a no-no from jumpstreet I'd rather know now, these things get kinda of tricky with art and copyright, again I'm not interested in claiming I solely created these images, but if I could credit someone and be allowed to use them and manipulate them how would one go about that?
thanks for any advice and help,
D

But then what? I am in the same situation, and have both the original iPhone and original sim card, and that is it. I am not the original iPhone owner (that was a family member who now has a new iPhone), and I do not have a new iPhone or a new iPhone sim card. How do you convert it to an iPod Touch with ONLY the old sim card (reboot does NOT work).

LR5- Map-Saved Locations-My Locations: The white circles showing the position of "my Locations" are not visible any more. What can I do?

Hello,
from one day to the next the white circles and the dot in the middle are gone. I could not find any setting for on/of. When I click on a location the map centers to the location.
Maybe someone knows what to do.
Thanks.
Rainer

gvb279: You are GREAT! Thanks! The "O" key is the solution
Best regards

Apple TV and iTunes Visualizer

Is there a way to turn the iTunes Visualizer on Apple TV?

No.
AppleTV isn't that powerful a machine.
Although it may be able to do some kind of visualisation it may not be up to the quality of iTunes while doing other background tasks.
lots of people would like one, and why not if you can have photo screensavers.
Send an enhancement request here, you never know...

ITunes Visualizer on External Display Blacks Out Main Display

Is it possible to have the iTunes Visualizer full screen on an external display while keeping the main display active?
In other words, I'd like to have my 2nd monitor display the iTunes Visualizer in full screen while I do work on my main screen. Every time I try this it forces the main screen to go black.
Does anyone have a solution, or is this just the limitations of iTunes and/or the Mac?
(By the way, the closest I've come is to put the iTunes window on the 2nd display, start the visualizer, and make its window as large as it will go. But, you still see the top of the iTunes chrome above and below the visualizer.)

I realise this is an old post, but have not yet seen an explanation of how I have solved this problem.
Its not a complete solution as it only works if you want to use iTunes, and does require an iPad or an iPhone.
First configure the Apple remote App on your iPhone, or iPad, or both iPad is best, but iPhone works almost as well.
Check that you can control the music from your i'Device'
Drag the iTunes window onto the external screen/projector. I am assuming external monitor with a different screen geometry to main screen, but if you can handle some gaps, you can mirror displays just as well.
Turn on the Visualiser - and put it into full screen.
If you can't see the external screen the following short cuts are useful.
⌘T - turn on Visualizer
^⌘F - turn on Full Screen
Your main screen will blank out, but you will still have full control of your music from the Remote App.
Very cool if you are having a party, and want the visualiser on the large LCD TV, or on a projector.
