Music list icon

Hi All,
I've noticed this icon in my music list for songs that I have downloaded from the store. If I touch it the song dissapears [deletes].
What is this icon meant to do? Why is it appearing only on some tracks? How do I get rid of it?
Thanks in advance.

See if these help (whichever applies)...

How do I remove all traces of 'album'? I do not want artwork, blank place holders, titles or artists sorted by album? I just want my music listed by title, artist or genre.

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

One song in my iPhone music list has "chasing arrows" next to it and won't sync

A recently purchased song won't sync from iTunes 10 to my iPhone 3GS. It looks normal in iTunes and plays correctly, but it doesn't appear on my iPhone, and when I look at the iPhone's music list under the "Devices" folder in iTunes when I have the phone plugged in, the song appears there but it's grayed out and has a stationary "chasing arrows" icon next to it. Anyone know what's going on and/or how to get this song unstuck?

I had this issue on my iphone 4, and two songs listed on the iPhone in iTunes had the dotted circle. I researched it, and I found a hundred different answers. Some were complicated like uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. All I did was this... In iTunes under Music, I simply unchecked Sync Music, and I deleted all music from my iPhone. I then checked Sync Music, chose all the songs I wanted. No songs in iTunes had dotted circles, and all songs on my iPhone played.

Managing Music list on iPod via PC

Have a new iPod as old one died. Have transferred songs from PC to iPod, but when I go into Music list on Devices and iPod, the complete list is greyed out and I cannot play or delete any of them. Also having problems copying some music newly purchased and downloaded onto PC from iTunes onto iPod (coming up with 'no entry' type icon). Any ideas why?

Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to iPod
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
If you have an iPod Touch as far as I am aware your songs will always be greyed out. Set it to manual update as above and then click on the song(s) you want to remove and drag them off the iPod list.

Upgraded from vista to windows 7 not seeing music list

I upgraded from vista to windows 7. When I sync my iPhone 4 I am not seeing my music listed nor my apps in the list. I had backed up my entire computer to my external hard drive and copied everything over to iTunes. But not showing up in any lists when I connect my phone???? Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm am used to working on Mac's but u don't think my advice will hurt.
iTunes reads your hard drive for songs and compiles a song list for them.
It then stores this data as your ituneslibrary.plist file.
In the file drop down menu you should have an option to select library.
Try reelecting your iTunes library icon and then it should reload your iTunes with playlists and play counts etc

When I press any of my music lists to "Shuffle" it will not shuffle but just repeat the 1st song played. Any fix for that? Thanks. HMK

When I press any of my music lists to "Shuffle" it will not shufle but keeps repeating the same song first played. Any fix for this? Thanks, HMK

When you get to "Now Playing", tap once on the artwork in order to see the timeline of the playing song. Look on the left side, the repeat one button is probably active.
Tapping once this icon bring the repeat option, tapping again will bring the repeat one option. There you can also tap the shuffle button on the right.

How to fix a problem of access to itunes music-list from iPhoto

I cannot get access to my Music list present on iTunes from iPhoto (diaporama), nor from iMovie (the music icone is fine, click open it, but it is empty)
However access to iTunes Music is possible from the former iMovie HD application that I kept.
Thanks for your help

There have been mixed reviews on Photosweeper - I have not personally used it and recommend one of two known programs for duplicate identification -
Duplicate Annihalitor - http://brattoo.com/propaganda/ - or Decloner - http://www.pixelespressoapps.com/decloner/
The face that your library is getting larger not smaller indicates that something is amiss
As to TM questions for detailed answers the TM forum is best - basically you launch TM, go to the time you want, select the iPhoto library, click restore and when ask if you wnat to keep both say yes and place the newly restored library in the location of your choice

How do I get my songs from my Mac to play on my Iphone device to play? I see them in my music list but they don't play.

Click on the Audiobooks icon at top left of iTunes window. It should be there. You can then drag it to your phone, or in File > Devices you can Sync iPhone.

Is your iPod music list empty or blank in iTunes? Read inside.

I had a problem that at least a few other people on this board have complained about, and never could find a satisfactory answer on these forums and elsewhere. The full problem is as follows:
1. you plug your iPod in.
2. iTunes pops up
3. Under Devices->Music where the iPod icon is, the music list/library is blank or empty, even though you can access everything with no problem on the iPod itself.
4. Plugging iPod into other computers with iTunes has the same problem.
Here's a way to solve it without the extreme system-restore your-iPod-and-copy-everything-back-over "solution" (and I can't use those quotation marks sarcastically enough).
1. Close iTunes.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Browse to whatever drive your iPod has been assigned.
4. Make sure "view hidden files" is checked in explorer, and browse to the hidden folder "X:\iPod_Control\iTunes" where X is the drive letter assigned to your iPod.
5. There you will see files called things like, "iTunesControl", "iTunesDB", "Temp File" and similar. In the "X:\iPod_Control\iTunes" create a directory called "oldITunesFiles" and drag the entire contents of the directory into the folder.*
6. Open iTunes. Volia! Itunes will rebuild your iTunesDB file and your music list will no longer be blank. Why wasn't this refresh functionality built into iTunes again?
* if something goes wrong, take the whole contents of the oldITunesFiles folder and put it back in X:\iPod_Control\iTunes.
I hope this helps somebody, I tore out my hair trying to figure this out for a month.

HI. Yeah I had the same problem as you along with some others such as the ipod constantly disconnecting during upload. Unfortunately I live in the UK where we get ripped off on every type of consumer good and my Belkin card cost me £40 ($60-65).
I have 8 'onboard USBs' and my ipod wouldn't work with any of them! Very annoying but now, like you, I have a fully functional ipod and loving it.

How do I move my music list from one external to another?

As per my post a couple of minutes ago, I do not want to run the risk of Itunes deleting all my Ipod files again.
I have put all my files onto an external hard drive. I was up until 4am this morning removing duplications in the music list. I never want to do that again.
Here is what I would like to do: the external HD is labeled as drive E under "preferences"; it is a drive that requires ac. I have copied all the files to a USB 60 gig drive. The USB drive shows up as drive F so Itunes would not be able to find the files. The last time that happened (i.e., 2 days ago), it erased all my Ipod files.
How can I make Itunes find all the files on the USB drive? If I can get that to happen I can always have the files with me.
Thanks for help,
Chuck

Note: Canned response, so may not specifically address your questions, but may be enough for you to figure out what you want to do...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

I want to put all my music onto an external hard drive. But I can't get it to put music on my itunes. The music list is completely empty and so is my IPOD.

You say the music is not on the external HD, the music list (iTunes?) is empty, and it is not on the iPOd. Then where is the music you want to move to the external HD?

TS2830 Transfer songs onto Music listfor nano, comes up with sync error 13019 still appears to have transferred to music list on nano while plugged in but when you search on the unplugged ipod not there.

When i transfer a song from my itunes library to ipod nano it says "cannot syn 13019" it appears to transfer song to the music list on ipod but when you disconnect from the computer the songs aren't on the ipod

No, I can't use a charger - I need to recharge the iPod off the computer. (I'm often charging it while traveling with no access to a wall plug).
What you describe in your situation is completely different from what I'm talking about: You have iTunes on and you are syncing the iPod, and then you eject it from within iTunes. What I'm talking about is NEVER having iTunes on, and just plugging the iPod into the USB port and just recharging it, nothing else.
My goal: I want to be able to plug in, recharge, and unplug the iPod without ever touching the mouse or the keyboard or interacting with the computer at all.
I 100% know this is possible because that is the setup I've had for months, and it worked fine. But when I recently updated to iPod software version 1.2, some setting was changed and I can't figure out what. I know it is very simple, the solution, but I've forgotten how I did it in the first place.

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog

Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.
