playlist/songs appear in iphone4 buit won't play. Have a read circle next to them

I have the same problem even from iTunes bought music it appears with dashed grey circle beside the ones that I have recently added to my iPod by downloading them from the iPod itself. I honestly think it has to do with the 7.0.3 update that they have recently released. It may have solved other problems but it has created more problems along the way.
Hopefully there will be a solution soon, if anyone has news or solutions please post thankyou
At least now I know I'm not the only one with the same kinda problem

Why do songs that I just had on my iPhone have a dotted circle next to them and won't sync to my phone?

I recently downloaded about 20 new songs and put them into iTunes. I synced my iPhone with iTunes, but suddenly unchecked songs started syncing to my iPhone and the songs i had downloaded would not. I looked into it and under "on my phone," the songs had dotted circles to the left of them. I restarted the phone, i restarted the computer, and finally i cleared the phone and restored it to the back-up. After restoring it didn't work, I unsynced all of my music from the phone and tried to resync all of the checked songs onto it but ALL of the songs i previously had on the phone have the dotted circle next to them. I am so incredibly frustrated and have no idea why this is happening. Why it 1) downloads unchecked songs, 2) has dotted circles next to all of my songs, and 3) won't sync any music I have checked as they are all now marked with the dotted circles. Please help! How do i fix this?

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.

Why after upgrading to the new os do some songs in the Ipod library have a dashed circle next to them.

After upgrading to the new os some songs in my library will not sync to my Ipod. I can see them on my computer in the Ipod library with a dashed circle next to them. How do I get them to play on my Ipod. They are songs from store bought CD's in my Itunes library that will play on my computer in Itunes. They do not appear on my Ipod. I can see them when the Ipod is connected to the computer in the Ipod library. I reset the Ipod by holding the home & power button, I went into general settings and reset the device. I synced again but still no songs.

I have some songs that have an exclamantion point next to them and I can't get them to sync. I had to move them manually into a playlist and succeeded in doing that but now the playlist won't sync. What's the problem?

I have the same problem and I am very upset. I have heard that Apple/iTunes is removing all songs that are unlicened for this type of download. Apple does not want to be responsible for pirated music. Much of mine is down loaded from CD's. I have to go to search and put in every song and then, if found, put it into My Music then back into iTunes. WHAT A HASSLE. I don't remeber reading anything about this. 224 songs so far. NOT HAPPY.

Ipod songs showing up grey and won't play

I have recently added some cd's on to iTunes. The songs show up normal in my itunes library and will play, but then when I go to them on my iPod library they show up grey and have a sync sign next to them. Most of them don't even show up on my ipod, but some do and they are just grey and won't play. I have tried re-downloading the cd's, right clicking on the songs, and pretty much anything I can think of. How do I fix this?

Couple questions for you.
Are you using the Wi-Fi sync feature?
Are you on the latest firmware?
What I would try doing is, if your using the Wi-Fi sync feature turn that off and sync with the cable that was provided with the iPod.
If you are already doing that I would try going into settings > general > reset all settings
if that doesnt work, then the last thing I would try is restoring your iPod to factory after backing everything up and trying to sync once more.
Let me know if this helps you out at all!

I'm having exactly the same problem, with this station only. Anyone?

HT1386 i cannot sync my full playlist. Songs showing up in "on this phone" greyed out with dotted circle next to it. How do i fix it?

I cannot sync my whole playlist. Keep having songs greyed out in "on this phone" with dotted circle next to them. Tried restarting phone and itunes. Also tried syncing songs out of the phone and re-syncing them back on with no success. I really do not want to reset the whole phone. Please help.

To clarify, I meant to say, when I plug my phone into my computer and connect to ITunes.

I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not seem to be related to. Is your question concerning iTunes Match or syncing with iTunes via USB?

I the cloud and itunes match. Some songs have the "waiting" icon next to them but are unable to upload and instead of determing them ineligible itunes continues to try to upload that song and never gets to the rest of the list.

I have icloud and itunes match and most of my songs have been uploaded to the cloud. Some songs still have the "waiting" icon next to them and when I turn itunes match on they neither upload nor are they determined ineligible. My computer will literally spin its wheels for hours trying to upload the same song. Additionally, I uploaded an audiobook disc on my computer and 3 of the 11 tracks are still waiting to be uploaded???

The exclamation mark happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
If the missing files just can't be found then, assuming you are in region where you are permitted multiple downloads of your audio purchases, delete the current enties and download again from your purchased history.

Please help. I recently upgraded to IOS 8.2 and i realised
that all my downloaded videos from itunes have somewhat vanished. I see the
cloud sign with the downward arrow. However they won’t play, i am being
required to DOWNLOAD them again. This is both in my iPhone and Ipad. Is there
any other way to go around this? As I do not want to download a second time,
that would cost me more money.

Hello ogojohn,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
The icon indicates an item that is available for download. This is usually because it has been downloaded previously by the account you are logged in under and will not be charge again for the download. See the following article, while it references iTunes for Mac and not iOS, it is the same.

Songs not syncing - greyed out & dotted circle next to them

When I updated my iPod Touch 5th gen to IOS 8.1 most of my artwork did not sync.
Today I updated to IOS 8.1.1 in the hope this would sort the above problem. SOME of the missing artwork has been restored but not all. however
the recent additions to my library from CD and purchases from a supplier other than iTunes Store are now showing under Recent Purchases and are
GREYED OUT WITH A DOTTED CIRCLE next to them. They are showing & playing correctly in my library on my PC. Can anyone help to explain this.
APPLE - IF YOU WANT TO LOSE LONG STANDING CUSTOMERS YOU ARE CERTAINLY MAKING A GOOD JOB OF THAT WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS !.

Tried to sync again today in hope.
The Good News - All the greyed out & circled items have synced to my iPod.
Now the Weird News - 1) Although the items have synced they still are greyed out with circle when you look at Music under My Device.
2) Of the 6227 items ticked to sync from my library of 8000 there has been 6414 synced - 50 songs purchased very recently from iTunes Store have duplicated & another 137 random songs show a cloud with downward arrow which were items which were unticked in my library so should not have been synced. 3) It is showing 44.14 GB of free space when there is only 2.9 GB of space left.
APPLE - Every time I update or sync my iPod my stress levels now go through the roof. If any other companies goods/services had this much hassle they would be out of business !

I recently bought a new laptop, installed iTunes and imported my library during a sync with my iPhone. Now I've noticed that any tracks that were ripped into my library from a CD won't play on my iPhone. They're visible but with a red circle next to them.

Hi, BartleyBauer.
If the media that you are attempting to sync plays in iTunes, try removing the preference to sync music as this remove the media from the device. Once this is done, try syncing the media again.
