On my music app there is a red square with a red circle around it!

It is very annoying, since it is on most of my songs. i'm not very happy or impressed. i have took all of my music off my iphone and put it all back on, and still no luck.
any help?

Not sure if there is anyone out there that hasn’t yet found a fix?
…but I found one!!!!
THE BLAH BLAH BLAH…
I tried many different suggested ways of getting my phone to sync music.
I kept clicking on songs i wanted to listen to on my iphone, and it would just zoom through my lists playlists and only play 'itunes purchased’ music and leave all other music greyed out and/or with a small red square inside a circle.
After weeks of fuming about how crappy and stupid apple is becoming... and scrolling through lots of posts on how to fix it and this is what worked, instantly, with bugger all effort/time/syncing.
THE SOLOUTION
go to 'Music' button on your device... (in my case iphone 5).
Make sure your phone is on the inital screen, where down the bottom, it has 5 sub options...
-Radio
-Playlists
-Artists
-Songs
-More
"More" is what you are after... so click/navigate to "More", then go down to the "Shared" option.
there were two options listed under the 'Shared Tab' within 'Music' on my iphone;
Ashley's iPhone
and
Ashley's Library
My phone was set to "Ashley's iPhone"  - (there was a tick next to this option)
I instead selected and changed my shared setting to ; "Ashley's Library"
And it worked. INSTANTLY. Smple as that.
(please note; not sure if it makes any difference, but fyi my phone is using ios 7.0.6. )
Well this has been my first post, ever. And I REALLY hope this works for anyone still having this infuriating issue... life with out tunes is agony (it was for me). Hence this post.
GOOD LUCK!

  • How do I get rid of a red square with a red circle around on my playlist on my iPhone 4S?

    How do I get rid of this red square with the red circle? It only shows on the right side of the song on my playlist and the song won't play. My playlist now skips 10/12songs before it plays another. When I checked iTunes on my computer there is nothing changed on the playlist. I downloaded the latest iTunes and synced the phone again but still nothing. I do not want to have to restore and do this all again. Help.

  • On phone next to battery symbol there is a "closed lock with an arrowed circle around it"  does anyone know what this is and how to correct it.

    on my I phone next to battery symbol there is a "locked lock surrounded by aa circled arrow"  does any one know what this is for?

    drsoif, this is the Portrait Orientaion Lock, which means you locked your phone in a way for it not to have landscaping mode. To correct this you will need to: double tap your home button and swipe to the right, first icon will be the icon with the ''arrow'' going in a circle, tap on it once and the lock will disappear:)

  • Red square with circle, grey exclamation point AND iTunes won't sinc new songs?

    I have just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3 and for some reason my music on my phone will not play. Every song comes up with a red square with a red circle around it and simply will not play. Looking on iTunes now - every time I try to play a song a grey exclamation point with a grey circle pops up next to the song and again WILL NOT PLAY!
    I've heard that it iTunes might be having trouble finding the source of the song (which its never had trouble doing before) so I deleted one song and tried to replace it back on there only to find that it is now not sincing new songs either! This new song is very light grey in colour and has the spotted circle next to it.
    I don't even know where to start fixing these problems.
    Additional Information:
    I have my phone set up to Sinc only checked songs and videos.
    I drag and drop my songs into the 'On this iPhone' heading rather than sicing the whole thing as I share this computer with my brother.
    Am I going to have to downgrade my iOS back to what it was?
    I really hope someone out there can help!

    [[UPDATE]] SOLVED - I've restarted both my computer and my phone and tried to re-drop in that one song that was coming up light grey. It's now sinced and playing on Itunes and is the ONLY song on my phone. No more exclamation mark or red square.
    Looks like I'm going to have to delete all the songs and replace them into my itunes.
    *sigh*
    Thank you Apple for this smooth, easy going update. Much appreciated.

    Why are songs on my iphone not playing and have a red square with a circle around it

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'

    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

  • HT4993 there is an icon in my menu bar with a lock with a continuous circle around it - what does this mean

    there is an icon with a lock with a continuous circle around it - what does this mean

    It means you have enabled rotation lock, so the screen will not change from portrait to landscape when you rotate the phone.
    Double-press the HOME button, then slide the QuickLaunch ribbon from left to right to reveal the lock control icon.

  • What is the little red square with a E inside mean

    When I look at music to buy I notice a little Red Box with a E inside it, what does this mean please ( red box with a E inside ) , Thankyou

    I'm glad someone else asked this question. They should really find a new way to mark something as explicit because I was not sure if it meant explicit or edited. Yes, even thou I know some songs/albums have the word edited in the description.

  • Red line with matching red dot imovie 11

    Hi All,
    I'm just getting to know iMovie 11 and am now only baffled by a few things.. One of which is this red vertical line with a red dot that I sometimes make appear on the timeline... I'm not sure what it's for but would love to know! I've tried searching online to figure it out but I assume because I don't know what it's called, it's very hard to find anything about it...
    Does anyone know what I mean and can you point me in the right direction of where to find out what it is and how it's used?
    Thanks!

    I found a work around... If you copy and paste the video files into the events folder it adds them when you create a new project. I'm not really happy about doing it this way, but at least I can finish editing my clips
