What do the grey dots in a circle mean?

there are gray dots in a circle and it says it has added my music but doesnt show up on my phone and its only the new music that i want that it has the dots

I had the problem of the 'Dreaded ring of dots'
I looked endlessly for a solution. All I wanted to do was put music (that worked perfectly fine on my itunes) onto my phone. I tried many things unchecking boxes, rechecking boxes, connecting the phone, unconnectig the phone, making a human sacrafice to the gods of itunes. None of it worked. I happened upon a mystical peice of information contained within the catacombs of the internet.
The problem that I was having was that my phone wasn't synching to my computer. Granted it showed up on my itunes and i could interact with the various tabs but i couldn't add any music onto my device. So I followed the steps contained on this websitehttp://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/Mobiles/2012/08/why_won_t_my_iphone_sync_wit h_itunes ..... low and behold.... I could transfer my songs onto my iphone.
I followed all the steps and the one that worked for me personally was the step where you rename your 'sync services' folder to 'old sync services'.
Hope this helps people as I was ready to take a hammer to both pc and phone and reverting back to a walkman.

  • What does the blue dot under some apps mean

    what does the blue dot under some apps on the ipad air 2 mean.  There are not dots under all the apps.

    They are indeed recently updated apps that have not been used since they were updated. As soon as you launch the app after updating, the blue dot will disappear.

  • What do the grey dotted circles mean?

    Hi, I'm trying to add some cds I imported into my iTunes onto my phone but it won't let me. When I plug my phone in to sync I click on this iPhone and the songs I want are highlighted with this grey dotted circle?

    Very frustrating.  Tried your suggestion but haven't had any luck.  Dragged and dropped albums easily yesterday.  Today, no such luck.  They appear normally in iTunes on my system, with correct album artwork for all songs, but on iPhone 4 are grayed out with little dotted circle.  Songs are checked.  When I try to edit them ("get info"), the album artwork box is actually not visible.  For an individual song, the album artwork tab is absent, and for multiple songs at a time, it just says "artwork" without a box present.  All the text is grayed out and un-editable. 
    Any other suggestions?  I truly am so ****** off about the changes in iTunes.

    What is the grey icon with a cross and circles that has appeared on my home page? I can't remove it.

    I am a 71 old lady who just got a brand new iPad Air yesterday and was having the same problem that nobody knew how to resolve. So I decided to search the net and arrived at this page. Although my problem became a problem no longer after reading your "medication" I decided to join this community just to say how much I appreciated it and how much better my sunday just became because of it.

  • What is the grey cloudy dots on iMessages

    Hello, how come I don't get the actual answer to my iMessage while I see the grey dots running? 

    thank you..  to poster and stevejobsfans0123.  It sounds weird. I mean could it be that the person is typing to another person and the it shows the ongoing green dots on mine... ?  In other words, when I send a iMessage (blue) to someone could I see my correspondent typing a message which in fact is not meant to be a reply to me but a message  someone else and that it why I don't receive anything?  It happens often.  thank you

  • What do the blue dots beside the addresses used in the messages address  and how did they get there?

    What do the blue dots next to the addresses in the address book used to address (TO) someone mean and how did they get there.  I unsuccessfully tried to use an email address, the message address line kept giving me a red "hand slap"with an ! Point.

    The blue dots mean the addressee has a device capable of using iMessage.
    Try using the phone number instead of the email address to send the message.

  • What does the grey box and brush in some project bin images mean?

    Using Elements 10 with Windows 7:  What does the small grey box and brush in the upper right corner of some project bin images signify?  Thanks!

    Thanks!  Yes, it does seem to be random.  BTW, how did you learn of this?  I've not seen it written anywhere.

    Supposed to mean that you have edits you haven't saved yet, but they can be kind of random, sometimes.

  • What is the blue dot right next to the signal bars?

    I know E means Edge. 3G is 3G network. But what is the blue dot means?
    Also what is UMTS/HSDPA? When do I know I am using that connection?
    Thanks,

    GPRS = General Packet Radio Service (could be called 2.5G)
    Also what is UMTS/HSDPA? When do I know I am using that connection?
    UTMS = Universal Telecommunications Mobile System (commonly called 3G)
    HSDPA = High speed download Packet access (commonly called 3.5G)
    Thanks,
    The Blue dot is GPRS, the E is edge while 3G is 3G and HSDPA is the highest data speed, for some reason Apple do not show an icon when this is being used, some other manufacturers indicate when 3.5G is being used.

  • When I restart my iMac it is stuck in the grey screen with spinning circle

    When I restart my imac (less than 1 year old) it won't start up.  I get the grey screen and spinning circle and it never moves beyond.  A few times in the past, I've tried to reset the PRAM and that has worked.  However, its not working this time.  Nothing seems to restart the computer. 

    Hi,
    The Recovery HD I believe is the Internet Recovery feature found in most 2010 and 2011 Macs. Another poster in this topic suggested taking a look at an Apple support article regarding this issue. A solution may be found there that may work for you. If all else fails, I'd recommend you contact AppleCare. Unless you are within 90 days of your purchase (which isn't the case for you) you'll either need to have the AppleCare Protection Plan to call AppleCare over the phone, otherwise I'd suggest taking your iMac to an Apple Retail Store. Could be inconvenient doing that, though, considering the iMac is not exactly portable. However, the Apple technician will (presumably - just guessing) do various initial hardware tests on the machine and hopefully resolve the issue for you.
    By the way, the Internet Recovery feature (Recovery HD) allows you to restore Mac OS X in the event you have misplaced your installation discs, for example. The Internet Recovery feature can also be activated at boot up by pressing the Command (Cmd) key and the R key afterwards (while keeping the Cmd key pressed down).
