Ticks next to songs

I'm sorry if this is really stupid, but I'm quite new to using iTunes to organize my music.
Can someone please tell me what are the ticks next to songs and how to use these?

They mean the song will be included in the specified action. For example, only songs with a checkmark are imported when you click Import. Songs without checkmarks are ignored by the iTunes Genius and don't play in playlists. If the song is without checkmark, it will only play when specifically selected by you. If you have an iPhone/iPod, you can elect to have only checked songs synced. This isn't current, but the symbols are the same in iTunes 9: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/8.0/en/symbols.html
To check/uncheck all boxes on a PC with one click, hold down the Control(ctrl) key and click on one of the checkboxes with the mouse.
To check/uncheck all boxes on a Mac with one click, hold down the Command (cmd) key and click on one of the checkboxes with the mouse.

  • Recently, after cancelling the tick of a song, which is the next song after the one I am listening, in the song list, the canceled song will still run for the next song. I remember that it used not to happen like this. How can I solve this problem?

    This looks like a change of behaviour in iTunes 12. Once songs are queued up to the Up Next list then they play whether ticked or not. If you want to skip certain songs already queued click the Up Next tool, then click the small X to the left of the song that appears when you hover over it.

  • In I06, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone 4s vs being stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not downloaded. This was important to make sure I had the music I wanted when in an airplane.

    In the new i06 that I just loaded into my 4s, I have no way of knowing which songs are on my iphone vs stored in the cloud. There used to be a small cloud next to songs that were not on the phone. This is an important piece of information if you are a frequent traveller, as most of the flights I am on don't have onboard wifi, so it becomes a crap shoot as to what I will have available to listen to.
    Is there a way I can view what songs are actually stored locally?

    Go to Settings > Music and set "show all music" to OFF.

  • "!" appears next to song in itunes

    a week ago everything was great the last time i updated now the past 2 days since i have been trying to update again it seems the song titles are there in the ipod but no song. and now an "!" appears next to the songs. Please help.

    Have you been rearranging folders or music lately?
    When ! appears next to songs in itunes, it usually means that the program cant find the songs in the folder they are meant to be in.
    The only way to solve this is to clear these songs from itunes ( for large groups of songs highlight one,hold shift, click last song, right click, go to clear) and re-import them into itunes.
    Hope this helps

    Hi You are not the only one with this problem it seems that there are quite a few similar posts on this subject and no answers rather than going through one by one (no Thanks) or deletimg all files in iTunes and reloading over night (No Thanks!). This also means I will loose all my playlists!
    Please Apple answer this or remedy some kind of Playlist save!

  • I have set up iphone4s with pc and ticked only required songs to transfer to Iphone and clicked apply all the iphone displays under each genre is loading. This has been going on for 12 hours. How long does it take. It only shows 6.3gb used out of 13.6eyi

    I have set up Iphone4s with my pc and ticked only required songs to sync. I clicked apply and it has been going for over 12 hours on my Iphone just displayimg loading. The capacity on my iphone shows a capacity of 6.3gb used out of 13.6 Am i doing something wrong ?

    Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
    A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
    I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
    What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
    Why does it change?
    Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
    Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
    I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

  • I tunes: I have exclamation mark next to songs i can listen to...

    Hi everyone.
    Well, i read and read and read and got tired of looking.
    Itunes shows me an exclamation mark next to song i JUST added to the library and tried to copy into my iphone. The exclamation mark appears next to the song name on my iphone display, but not on the itunes library. So, the result is i can listen to the songs on itunes, but itunes won't copy them into my phone.
    Evidently, it's not a problem of "file not found", because if that were the case, itunes would not be able to reproduce the music.
    I've been having problems trying to copy music into my iphone 5s.
    Please, i do not want to reset my phone to factory settings or whatever, i feel this whole thing is a terrible waste of time. There has to be a solution.
    I tried syncronizing music and accepting the reset of my phone's library, but the result was the only songs i have in my phone now are the ones i bought on itunes.
    I'm preety upset, i feel like this should be easier, if not, i will eventually switch to android...
    Can anyone help me?

    Album uploaded to Itunes match, plays on computer but won't play on ipod, no cloud symbol next to songs. Press play on 1 track and it skips through the album without playing. I've tried deleting the album from PC and downloading again from match and even after syncing the album won't play on the ipod

    I've just connected the ipod to my computer and checked the music on the iPod. The album that I am having trouble with shows an exclamation symbol next to it. I've tried deleting the album from iTunes and re downloading it then syncing but it doesn't appear to affect the information shown the iPod. The album neither deletes nor updates.

  • Check marks next to songs

    Hi, I searched for an answer, but was not able to find anything. I can do many things with itunes, but one thing I can not figure out is how to stop check marks from being applied to next to songs. I do not want a check mark placed next to a song unless I physically check it myself.
    Can anyone tell me how to stop the automatic checking of selections in order for me to do it completely by myself, manually?
    I appreciate any help..thanks.

    Say you were playing all of your songs on iTunes, and you didn't want to listen to one. When you uncheck it, it skips over that song and immediately plays the next "checked" song.
    Make sense?

  • How to remove the arrows from next to songs in itunes 11?

    I'm using windows 7
    the arrows are next to the song names in itunes and they get in my way every now and then.
    they open a drop down menu that has some other stuff in it.
    i don't wanna sign out of the store or anything else, i just want the arrows gone.
    i remember there being an option to remove store links in an older version of itunes, i can't find it in this version.
    also, without signing out of the store, is there a way to get rid of the cloud icons, they aren't really in the way, but they bother me, i'm not sure why.

    You can turn off the showing of items that are in the cloud via the Store tab in Edit > Preferences - untick the 'Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box
    For the arrow that shows next to a track when you move your mouse pointer over it, I'm not sure that you can turn it off - I also can't find a setting for it

  • ITunes next/previous song stopped working

    Just upgraded to 7.4.2 earlier tonight to support my new Nano.
    When I double-click a song to start it playing, it plays fine, but if I hit "next" or "previous", the song just stops.
    When a song is not playing, the next and previous buttons are grayed out.
    I used to be able to just hit play and hit next and previous to move around the songs in my library, but with the upgrade this seems to have stopped working. I've checked for new updates several times, rebooted, everything, and nothing seems to help.

    Are the little checkboxes to the left of name ticked? If not iTunes will not advance to the next track as iTunes skips unchecked tracks.
    To check all, press ctrl & click in one of the little boxes or uses select all, then right click in the selection and choose check all.

  • Problems w/ continuous play & next/prev. song controls

    i am having large issues with the next and previous song controls. the controls in the top left corner to the right and to the left of the play/pause button only stop the current playing song when pressed, and when i press the left/right arrow keys on my computer keyboard to move to the next song, the current playing song also stops instead of working correctly.
    to make matters worse, when a song in my library finishes playing, it does not go to the next song and begin play like it should, it only stops the music much like what happens when you try to manually go to the next song. i cant get any continuous playback of multiple songs and cant swith from song to song without double clicking with a mouse. can anyone fix this problem?

    No problems ... I have the exact parallel problem with remembering the Mac key combo for this one.
