No "new" tag on streamed shows ? (blue dot)

on my appletv, when I go to tv shows, unlike content saved on the AppleTV, content wich is streamed does not show the "new" blue dot next to the shows we have not seen yet, even so in itunes on the macbookpro they do have the "new" tag
Any ideas ?

I too upgraded to the new 1.1 firmware on my AppleTV. Previously I was streaming Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and Music. I had set my AppleTV up to sync only photos so that I could do a slideshow or use them for the screen saver.
I listen to hundreds of podcasts and I am quite behind and love the blue dot that appears next to the unplayed items on both my 5th gen iPod with Video and previously with my AppleTV.
After I upgraded to iTunes 7.3 (Windows) I read that we could now stream our photos. After the upgrade, I was only streaming my library and was very dissapointed to find that the blue dots that indicate unplayed items wasn't there anymore. After doing many searches on the internet, I figured out that all I have to do to get them working again was to set my AppleTV up to sync the photos again. Now I get all the blue dots next to my unplayed content.

In Apple Mail, my new messages are coming in without the blue dot, as if the messages have already been read. Why? Has my computer been compromised?

I did not use my laptop all day. This evening, when I looked at my new e-mail from earlier today, only about 3 messages still had the blue dot, that shows on unread mail. I watched new messages come in. One new one came in with the blue (unread) dot, then maybe when the next new message came in, the blue dot disappeared from the first message, but appeared on the new message. The 2 subsequent e-mails came in without any blue dot. I had not highlighted or opened any of those 4 new e-mails, or any of the previously delivered e-mails from today. I cannot find anything in system preferences or in mail preferences that addresses this issue. Anyone know why this is happening? Has my computer been breached or hacked?

Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired). Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched. The only thing I don't know about is the "Sent" mail, but I believe those also exist on the server, and therefore if I migrate them then the link relationships are maintained (no idea about the mail that is "On My Mac" that has links to "Sent" mail in the server, but I guess that isn't so important).
As for keeping a completely syncronizable Mail application - the only way it appears I'd be able to do that is to forgo "On My Mac" entirely, and keep *all* mail on the server. If I want to move mail into different folders, those folders would have to be Server folders created for that account, and hosted by that hosting company. This actually doesn't seem like such a bad move, especially as we get further and further away from having only one device that we use to process Mail.
Are there any disadvantages to *not* using the local "On My Mac" folders? Are there any major advantages to using them?

Anybody have an issue with the blue dot on new emails dissapearing??

I recently reloaded my email accounts on my iPhone 4 (and ipad) on the direction of an apple store employee so my iPad, iPhone and iMac would sync (show email activity as if I were just using one device and not having new messages show unread or not deleted based on activity on other devices).
Well, that seems to have done the trick except one huge issue... New emails coming in rarely have the blue dot. Sometimes they will show one my list of emails in my inbox and the blue dot will right before my eyes, before view the new email content. I mostly use my iPhone, and no one has access to my iPad or iMac so the cant be the issue. I can get a bunch of new emails and they never show as new. It is very inconsistent, but mostly new show as new messages on my iPhone or iPad. Interestingly, iMac mail account always shows messages as unread.

sorry the part. number is PT324U-008003.

Every new tab in safari on iPad is opening in 3 blue dots

This ****** me off. How do I open a new tab in a row? I mean, when I open the new tab, using + in Safari, it doesn't open visually near the last one, it opens and the last one is stored in these three blue dots! How do I turn it off??

If you tap on the Book icon to show your bookmarked items and click on the Favourites folder, do you get 'dots' in there?

Steve

Podcasts & Movies - No 'blue dot' for marking as new

Now that I've updated to 7.6, whenever I mark a movie or podcast as new again, using the contextual menu, the blue dot doesn't show back up next to the title.
The 'blue dot' works though for my TV Shows. It's just movies and podcasts that the blue dot doesn't show up.
Any ideas anyone?

Yeah. I've repaired permissions both manually and by my monthly Cocktail run, but it still does it. I have downloaded a few 3rd party apps but it's hard to say which ones I've downloaded recently coincide with the problems I've been having. I don't rule that possibility out - thanks for the suggestion.
I wonder if it has something to do with my recent purchase of a new iPod Touch (32gb) though. I've been putting a lot more video in my iTunes since I bought the iPod so that I can watch them and iTunes hasn't been liking that at all. In fact, when I try to open a video (TV Show) in iTunes it's a 50/50 shot that it will freeze my whole computer. Sometimes it does, and sometimes iTunes just pauses for about 10sec before starting to play the video.
The videos sync and play beautifully on the iPod but iTunes doesn't like them at all. Could this have something to do with it?

webweave,
Welcome to the Apple discussions!
Generally, as discussed above, having 2 mount points for the same disk in the volumes folder won't prevent a successful backup. But in your case (#15!), that's a problem. More often than not, they are being created by Time Machine because you already have one or more instances of the Time Capsule disk mounted on your desktop. Ejecting the TC disk when it is not needed is the best way to avoid creating multiple mount points.
If you have any further questions, please post them in a new thread. You can refer back to this discussion with a link if necessary.
Cheers!

Blue dot in front of a few tv shows.

I converted a bunch of tv shows the same way and a few do not have a blue dot in front of them. When i tried to move them over to my ipod, i had 13 errors and I have 13 that do not have the blue dot. What does this mean. they are not podcast episodes and they play fine in iTunes. I have had this happen a few times lately. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
The blue dot means you have not watched them yet.
I was wondering the same thing, but once i started a show the blue dot went away

Blue dots next to TV shows I HAVE SEEN - can I get rid of these?

I just updated to iTunes 7.1.1 and now many of my TV Shows have blue dots next to the episode numbers, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN THEM.
I can Reset Play Count, but this does not Clear the STUPID blue dots.
How do I clear them?
( Note: If I Reset Play Count on other shows, a blue dot DOES NOT appear.)

There should be a Tool-Tip when you roll the cursor over the blue dot to say what the stupid thing is...
( What it is, is Mostly Wrong )

Blue dots by tv shows..

when i look at the list of TV shows on my ipod there are blue dots beside some of the TV shows..what does that mean? Because now my ipod wont let me put a show on it.

The blue dots mean the shows are already viewed. In order to have those viewed shows upload onto your iPod, you'll need to tell iTunes that you want all episodes of the listed TV shows put onto your iPod, not just unwatched ones. How to do that:
When your iPod is plugged in, select the TV Shows tab from your iPod window. Change the drop-down menu to "all" instead of "unwatched". I ran into the same issue but figured it out by trial-and-error!

New messages in Gmail not "indicated" with blue dot

I recently had to re-setup gmail because it started acting funky. I followed all the steps, and have double-checked my settings.
I am getting new mail BUT none of the mail ever gets a "blue dot" or other indication that it's new. It just comes in as "read".
I don't have gmail open anywhere else, and I've never seen this issue before.
Any ideas?

Hello,
You can make sure all other devices are disconnected from your email account by changing your Gmail account password. This should solve the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
James

No blue dots to show unplayed podcasts on my nano and next podcast starts

Since updating the software I no longer have blue dots to show me unplayed podcasts plus the next podcast in the series starts automatically like an album which is not what I want. Can I fix this?

Look in iTUnes and make sure the podcast are listed under "Podcast" in the source list to the left. If they are set the iPod to either "Auto update all podcast" or "Auto update selected podcast" whichever you choose. Disconnect the iPod, reboot the PC. Reset the iPod by holding center and menu for about 6 to 10 sec. Once the iPod has been reset and PC rebooted, connect the iPod let iTunes open and see if it now updates the podcast to your iPod
