What does the exclamation point next to a podcast mean?

Is there a way to diagnois the reason behind the exclamation point?

I subscribe to a few podcasts. One is a daily popular 15 minute BBC Radio 4 show called The Archers. If I'm away on holiday I ask a friend to switch on my computer every few days and leave it on for a few hours, expecting the downloads to come through. I set up itunes to open automatically. But after a few days the programme stopped downloading. On return from holiday the last week's programmes were still available, but anything older had gone. Apparently itunes stops downloading podcasts after a few programmes have not been listened to. How can I over-ride this problem? I emailed the BBC but they seem to think it's an itunes issue. I would love itunes to give me the option of whether I want it to continue or stop downloading podcasts I haven't listened to for a while. Alternatively, does anyone know if Windows media player performs any better in this regard? (I've not tried it yet. Thanks

    what does the exclamtion point mean next to a song that is unchecked?

    If you hover over the exclamation mark (or you may need to click on it, I can't remeber), it should tell you. Usually, it means that the original file (for that song) cannot be found, either because it has been moved, renamed or deleted.

  • What does an exclamation point next to a song file mean?

    I've been using iTunes for several months now and just today noticed that I have exclamation points next to a number of songs. When I go into my iTunes Music folder and try to find those files, they're not there.
    Yet I haven't deleted any of these files.
    What gives? I've got over 33,000 songs and don't want this to become a reocurring problem.
    I did repair permissions with iTunes open just before I noticed the exclamation points b/c I was having a problem with copying new audio files into iTunes and it was suggested here that this would be a fix.
    Could that have caused the exclamation point problem?
    Either way, if someone can tell me how to fix this so that all of the exclamation points go away and the files reappear in my finder, I'd appreciate it.

    Do you have an External Hard Drive connected to your iMac?
    If you have some other storage device connected, you may have Saved these songs with the "!" next to them on THAT storage device.
    If you DO have an external drive connected, try turning it on (or reconnect it) and bring up iTunes again, they will play if they were Saved to that external device.
    Once you have identified if this is what has happened, you'll want to go back into iTunes Preferences and make sure it's set to Save to your 'Macintosh HD'(or whatever you call your primary Hard Drive).

  • What does the exclamation point mean?

    When I try to view photos in iPhoto '08 and increase their size, all I see is a graphic exclamation point.  What does that mean?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

    Hello crysta33,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The screen with an iTunes logo and cord indicates the device is in recovery mode, and will need to be restored by using iTunes.  Take a look at the articles below for more information.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Take care,

  • HT4059 what does the red light and 'not in store' mean

    What does the red light in manage my books mean? And what does 'not in store mean'?

    Hello Simon,
    I believe you have two unrelated problems. The red light is only associated with the digital audio port and indicates the "mute" switch inside the jack that turns off the built-in speakers when phones are in use has jammed in the mute position. No way it should affect your ability to start the computer. That has to be something else.
    Does your computer give the normal startup chime sounds when you turn it on?
    If you are getting the normal startup chime and have a wired keyboard, boot while pressing the SHIFT key. Keep holding the SHIFT key until you get a desktop, then let go the key. At this point, do not try to do any work with the computer but rather see if it will restart normally (without holding any keys or key combos).

    What does the lock with a circle around it mean in the top right corner of my iPhone 5c

    It means that your screen rotation is locked. Open up the control center by sliding your finger up from the very bottom of the screen, and click on the screen rotation lock symbol, which is the same symbol you see on the status bar.

    Welcome!
    You have installed Trusteer's Rapport software that many banks recommend, unware that it is poison to Safari. The developer keeps working on it but, so far, we don't seem to have a stable version that doesn't cause more problems than it fixes.

  • What does the number in parentheses after CPU speed mean?

    On original iMacs the CPU is given as PowerPC 750 400MHz (2.2) What does the 2.2 refer to? What would the latest version of the PowerPC 750 be marked?

    It's probably the release version number of the PowerPC 750.
    The G3's are more commonly referred to by the suffix after "750." I believe the last Mac with a G3 was the 900 MHz iBook, and they used the 750FX.
    PowerLogix makes some G3 upgrade products that use the later 750GX, up to 1.1 GHz. Unfortunately, none are for the the CRT iMacs.
    Some more info about the "G3."

  • What is the exclamation point???

    After dowloading 3 new CD's, everything was erased from my iPod. It still shows the music in iTunes however there is an exclamation point beside ALL of the songs saved before today. I've read lots saying it means it has lost the information but how do we retrieve everything? HELP?!?!?!

    The ! means that iTunes can't find the actual music files. Try:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    If not successfully you will have to redwonlaod or remiport the music files.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
