Red circles with red squares inside?

I have red circles with red squares inside, prohibiting me from playing some of my music, playlists etc. ???

It means your songs have not properly downloaded to your iPad/iPhone.
I believe this is an ios7 problem due to more crap code from apple.
If anyone has a good solution—aside from completley resetting your device—please type it here.

  • What does the icon with the red circle with a square inside (much like a power button) mean?

    I've copied much of my home CD collection to iTunes but some of the albums will not play.  They are shown in my libraries but when opened each song in the album has a redcircle with a square inside icon displayed.  When I go to play an album with the red icons listed next to each song the app quickly scans through the list of songs - no audio and that's it.
    What does this icon mean?  And how can I correct the problem?

  • I just tried to download the Wheel Of Fortune app. A cloud with a downward arrow appeared, and when I clicked on it it appeared to download, and a circle with a square in it appeared. I clicked on that, and the cloud with the arrow came back.  What to do?

    I just tried to download the Wheel Of Fortune app. A cloud with a downward arrow appeared next to it. When I clicked on it, it appeared to download, then a circle with a square inside it appeared. When I clicked on that, the cloud with the arrow came back. What's going on?

    Don't click on the circle, that is just telling you it's downloading. When you click it, it stops downloading.

  • Red circle with red square inside- what does it mean in iTunes next to songs?

    I can't play songs on iTunes that have a red circle with a small red square inside it. What does the symbol mean and how do I get rid of it. I have one iPad 2, one iPhone 5 and one ip[hone 6 plus bit only one iTunes account and one computer where all the songs are stored. The same song will play on the phones but not the iPad!! I really don't want to keep upgrading the software cos really it just creates more problems!!

    ! = iTunes cannot find the file that contains the media associated with the entry in the iTunes database.  iTunes itself does not contain your music, it just uses a reference to play a file on your computer.  Something happened to break that link.  Many reasons. Your computer may be having directory problems (directory = computer's database of what files it thinks are on the drive).  You may have renamed a folder or file  or moved a folder or file related to iTunes.
    When you try to play the file iTunes will ask you if you want to associate a file with that entry.  You can answer yes and look for the file that you think it should play.  If the file is truly missing then you have bigger worries because who knows what else could be missing - the whole reason for computer backups and periodic maintenance.

  • Why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it?

    On my iPad 3, in music, some of my songs have a red circle with a square dot, the songs are grayed out and I am unable to play them. Is there a new setting with ios 7? Does it no longer play mp3's?

    Here's what I had to do, no thanks to the others on here who go at it like Apple, delete and restore.
    No, you don't have to delete and restore. Just open a folder on  your computer, call it something like iPad music, keep it open, open iTunes, select all your music, copy and paste it in the folder you just created, delete all your music from iTunes (relax, you just copied it into that folder). Select all the music in that folder, drop it back onto your playlist. Now, I renamed my playlist, because it was called untitled, originally, so if that doesn't work, rename, or delete and recreate your playlist, copy the music back over, sync, and they will play.
    Worked for me, anyhow. Good luck!

    Hello astro30,
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode manually, then attempt a restore via iTunes.

  • On certain pages, a big circle with an arrow inside it takes the foreground in the bottom left corner, and I can't get rid of it.

    This image is something new on my screen, probably since the last Fx update or so.
    I think this big-circle-with-an-arrow-inside may be a sign indicating that I need to download something, or that something is available for download. I see it on sites featuring various media, such as on some of Amazon's digital music pages and also on some of IMDb's pages.
    Further regarding any downloads, I don't know if this circle refers to a plugin, or a media file, or if, in fact, either.
    I have no idea what the circle with an arrow is trying to tell me, nor do I know how to get rid of it. It takes over the forefround of the corners where it resides, rendering any links beneath it inoperable. At the very least, I would just like to make it go away.
    Thanks for any help you may offer :-)

    Thanks for your interest in my problem. I'm sending along a screenshot.
    FYI, when I tapped on the arrow, a new tab opened at the following location:
    chrome://fvd.single/content/fennec_streams_list.html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fdmusic%2Fcloudplayer%2Fplayer%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dnav_youraccount_cldplyr%23searchSongs%2FsearchTerm%3Dgood%2Bvibrations
    The page at this address is empty (all white) except for a small blue bar in the upper right corner that says "Download 5.3 1MB."
    Again, my thanks.

  • On my IPhone 5s, there is a symbol at the top of the screen and it looks like a circle with a lock inside. What does it mean and how do I remove it?

    You mean the Control Center.  As was said ...slide up with your thumb from the home button and a gray box should open (i.e. Control Center).  There you can turn the orientation lock Off or On.  You can also use the Flashlight or turn Bluetooth on or off, and other functions.

  • When i sync my music from com to my Iphone and movie clips I can't play them. It look likes it is in iCloud. Next to the music and movie clips there is a download sign (circle with a dot inside)

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    Try resetting you phone by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  If no change you might need to try syncing all your music and TV shows off your iPhone, then sync them back on (be sure they are in your iTunes library before doing so).

  • When I try to sync my iPhone 4s it no longer works.  I have a bunch of songs that now show up on my iPhone with a red circle with a box inside of it and they won't play, yet I can find them and play them on my Mac.  What do I do?

    My iphone 4s will no longer sync music from my music library on my Macbook Pro.  I also have a bunch of songs that now have a red circle with a box in it next to the song on my phone and those songs will not play.  They are present in my itunes library and I can play them on my Mac but they will not play on my iphone.  I have tried unchecking all the music and applying those changes and syncing and it does nothing.  All the same music remains on my phone, unchanged.  Help! What do I do? I have read to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it but will I lose all my music?

    Hello Courtney,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone.  It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

  • My Ipod displays the red-orange circle with an X inside, and the apple support web address.  I can't find a reference to this and I haven't seen it before.  Any ideas what this means?

    The ipod has been working erratically for the last few weeks.  Stops playing mid-song, takes forever to load the next song on shuffle mode.  Today, stopped playing altogether.  When I tried to reset, I got an orange circle with a X in it and the support web addaress.  I can't find anything on the support site that references the x'd circle.  Any ideas?  Is this thing toast?

    Hi Crystal Newkirk,
    I've come across the following information which may be helpful. If you are seeing the red "X" icon on the display, we will need to restore your iPod from Disk Mode.
