Unknown Icon in Source List

There is an unknown icon in the source list in iTunes. The icon is like the music store icon but is blue and says "moron3's MP3 Rocket Tunes". This was never there before and no one else uses iTunes on this computer or even listens to music on this computer. I don’t like this icon being there and I want it gone now. I need help so could some one give me some?

Turn your Shared Music off in iTunes. It is probably picking up someone else's playlist in iTunes who is on the same network as you are. This is common when using wireless networks.

Cannot subscribe to podcasts; no podcast icon under source list

Hi, all. I scanned the first couple of pages of threads under this forum and didn't read any threads that helped me. I downloaded my first couple of podcasts ever last week, going directly through npr.org. I wanted to try subscribing through the itunes store, but I can't click on subscribe (I tried several different podcasts). When I double click on the podcast at the bottom, it won't play. I read a bit in the help section on itunes, and I thought it said I should look for a podcast icon under my source list. I don't have such an icon. I just clicked on itunes store and then clicked on podcasts. I double-checked and I do have the most recent itunes. Also, I have wireless internet and I'm always connected to it when my laptop is on.
Any advice appreciated; thank you!

I'm not sure I totally understand what your problem is, but a couple of things to note...
1. To get Podcasts to show in your Source list, go to iTunes Preferences, General and put a check next to Podcasts.
2. Did you download the podcasts from the iTunes Store or from NPR's Web site? Podcasts downloaded from sources other iTunes will usually go into your Music library along with all your music tracks.
Does that help at all? Not sure what you mean when you say: "When I double click on the podcast at the bottom, it won't play." What window are you in? The bottom of what? Please explain further.

No IPod Nano icon in Source List

Is there a way to get the IPod Nano icon to reappear in the Source List? I'm not sure that it ever was there. I guess it's possible that I may have deleted it. I'm using version 7 of itunes. Thanks!

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

Ipod icon in source list

Can I keep the ipod icon in the itunes source list - so that I can click on it and see details of my ipod library etc? when the ipod isn't connected to my computer? I could do this with my ipod shuffle, but with my nano it disappears when I disconnect.

The list of songs iTunes displays when you click on an iPod shuffle in the source list are those songs iTunes has decided to transfer to the shuffle; you can tell the shuffle's actual contents by ignoring any entries which have a gray dot. This display will be updated when the iPod shuffle is connected to that copy of iTunes, but iTunes won't update it if songs on the shuffle are erased in other ways, such as by restoring it on another computer. The list is drawn from the iTunes records and not from the iPod shuffle's contents.

Ipod icon not in 'source' list

HELP! On accedent...(I didn't think I needed to read the manual because by brother was showing me how to work it) I disconected the iPod when it said 'do not disconnect' just a couple of times. Is that a big deal? Only once has the little ipod icon appeared in the 'source' list. It isn't appearing now. It won't download or upload (or whatever) my other songs that I just put into my library. I tried 'authorizing' and 'deauthorizing'. It worked once, but it won't work now. Apparently, a bunch of people are having trouble with iTunes 5.0. Apple are you out there? What do I do? ANYBODY...PLEASE HELP!!!

Never mind I sort of fixed that. I REregistered my ipod, and now it recognizes my ipod. But it won't let me load on the songs I bought from the music store, only the songs from my cd's. I tried to deauthorize my computer, but I don't think that did anything. That may be because I don't have the main desktop, I have my own seperate desktop. If you know what to do...please tell me!!

Keeping Ipod Icon in iTunes source list when Ipod is disconnected

My shuffle icon used to stay in the iTunes source list even when it was disconnected, which was really nice to make changes and then connect the ipod to update all at once, but it has disappeared. I have done some searching and can't find the answer. Any help would be great, thanks!

Anthony,
Only shuffles have this "feature"...since regular iPods can sync against any number of selected playlists, one really doesn't need this capability as it less powerful than what is provided.

After latest iPhoto update source list icons have no color

After updating iPhoto with the latest software updates, the icons in the source list have lost their color. This happened on both my MacBook Pro and iMac. I have iLife 11.

It's a design decision by Apple. Let them know what you think
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

Just updated to iPhoto 2011; the source list icons are NOT in colour as shown - Should they be? (bit boring in grey!)

Just updated to iPhoto 2011; the source list icons are NOT in colour as shown - Should they be? (grey icons very boring!)

That is one of the changes to iPhoto '11
It is not an option - suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

IPhoto 9.6 Source List icons

Running Yosemite 10.10.1 with iPhoto v 9.6 on my iMac and i've noticed the icons within the left pane Source List (e.g.the Library Events palm tree icon) are not rendered in color but are b&w.
Might anyone know of a setting such that these icons are rendered in color?
thanks in advance.

There is no help for it.
Which iPhoto version did you upgrade from?
iPhoto '11 went all gray three years ago, with the 9.1.5 compatibility update for Mac OS X 10.7, when Apple introduced the new colourless GUI. Some of the frequent posters here like it, because the colors of the icons in the toolbar and source list do not distract from the colors in the photos, but it makes the icons harder to recognise on a small display.
You cannot enable the colorful icons again short of replacing all tiff images for buttons etc inside the iPhoto application bundle. That would be risky and had to be done over and over again, with each update.
See: iCraig » Blog Archive » Restore colour to iPhoto 9.1.5.

Doesn't Stay in Source List

The nano doesn't stay in the iTunes source list, so I can only mess around with the settings while it's connected. With previous iPods the icon and options remained even when the iPod was disconnected. Am I missing an option box, or did they change something in iTunes 5?

I remember this feature being available only for the iPod Shuffle, and not any of the other iPods.

How do I get rid of the calendars in the source list?

I don't want Iphoto automatically organizing my photos by year, and I don't want to see the last four years depicted as calendar icons in the source list, and I don't want an item called "early photos' in my source list. How do I get rid of these unwanted items/features?
Many of the photos I'm importing have, over the years, been edited and their original photo dates are no longer valid in GetInfo, so iphoto's automated feature causes chaos upon importing.

Hello autochthon,
The side bar which contains some of iPhoto's built in organizational tools like "Last Import" "Last 12 Months" "Early Photos" is part of the iPhoto program and cannot be removed.
The items you mention appear under the sub-category "Recent". You can click on the disclosure triangle to hide those features from view.
By default iPhoto arranges all images in a chronological fashion, however you can sort your photos in your events in a variety of other ways: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/8.0/en/6291.html.
For those that don't like any of the sorting options available, putting images into Albums is often a good route to go. Once you put your pictures in an album you can then drag them into whatever order meets your needs within that Album.
Hope that helps.

I have an older IPOD that I'm having trouble getting new purchases on to my IPOD. I use to have a source list on the left hand side of screen where I dragged my purchases to and they downloaded. Can't find place to check manual vs. auto sync.

I have an older IPOD classic that I'm having trouble getting new purchases from library to IPOD. I use to have a IPOD icon in the source list on the left side of the screen. Now that is all gone. My purchases are coming up as recently purchased but can't figure out how to get them transferred to IPOD. I also can't find how to confirm setting is for manual not auto sync as the first computer I had blew up and am now using a different one. I haven't had any of these problems prior to the updates.

G'day Mate,
As an avid flight simmer I bought a new soundcard my previous was

Well stone the crows my soundcard was auto updated with new drivers and well you guessed it the soundcard did not show in the sound video controllers window No I have just joined this forum and it looks like3 you may have the answer for me . I am now going to do as you suggest and see what happens.
I shall return with the outcome of my dilemma.

Photos tab is not selectable in the source list iPod nano

Dear all,
Could you please help me out? I want to import photos on my iPod nano (3rd generation). I want to do this by dragging a folder to the iPod in the sources list in iTunes, but I do not succeed.
The 'photos' tab does not appear when I collapse the 'iPod' in the source list in iTunes. What is wrong?
Thank you for your answer (in advance.)

*I want to do this by dragging a folder to the iPod in the sources list in iTunes, but I do not succeed.*
You can't add photos the same way as you add music, you have to choose the folder in the photos tab.
The 'photos' tab does not appear when I collapse the 'iPod' in the source list in iTunes. What is wrong?
The photos tab isn't in the source list, it's one of the preference tabs that appear in the main window when you click on the iPod icon in the source list.
Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
On a small device like the 2GB Nano I would tend to leave the "Include Full Resolution photos" box unchecked as these will take up a lot of space on the iPod and are only useful if you want to copy photos from one computer to another. iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view.
iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view. if you want to include full size photos so you can move them from one computer to another check the "Include Full Resolution photos" box. When you want to change the photos on the iPod you simply add or remove the photos you want from your iPod Photos folder and sync the iPod.

How to restore iPod when it doesn't appear in the Source List?

About 6 months ago I stupidly wiped my iPod Nano (5th Gen) and reformatted it as fat32. I assumed that when I formatted it back to Mac OS Journaled it would work normally as an iPod again but it doesn't. When it is plugged into my Mac running 10.5.8, it appears on the desktop/mac harddrive (without its individualised nano icon) and it fails to appear in the source list in iTunes (10.2.2).
I have tried everything I know how to do, including the steps outlined in this support document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410
I need to restore the iPod to factory settings, but need a way to do this not through iTunes seeing as the iPod is not recognised. Specifically, in the following support document I cannot complete step 4:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
One last thing I have tried is duplicating the files (including hidden ones) from a 5th gen nano that does appear in my source list, and placing those files into my apparently invisible nano but this has not made any difference.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have basically been left with a bricked paperweight (due mostly to my own stupidity!) but would love to be able to use it again.
Thanks for any help offered

Hello kismet_kracker,
What happens if you place the iPod into Disk Mode with it still connected to your Mac? Does it then show up in Finder as a mounted drive? Here are instructions for putting your iPod into Disk Mode.
