What does the faded music with a dotted circle beside it mean in the on this iPhone tab

what does the faded music with a dotted circle beside it mean in the "on this iPhone" tab on itunes? Some even shw up twice, others once.

Hi sjchr,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The red square with a red circle around it is a symbol for a download in progress.
Songs that have a cloud symbol beside them have been purchased, but don't reside on your device.
When you click on the cloud icon, the song will be downloaded to the device, and you see a red square with a circle moving around.  If you wanted to stop the download, you would tap on the red square.
Sometimes there may be an issue with the download, or the file may be corrupt.
If the song is not playing correctly, the first thing I would suggest is to restart / reset your device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists, you may need to redownload the song. 
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Cheers,
Judy

  • What does a file folder with a question mark in it mean when the computer won't start?

    What does a file folder with a question mark in it mean when the computer won't start?

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

  • When booking a one to one session, what does the black arrow with a blue circle moving underneath mean?

    When booking a one to one session online, what does the black arrow with a moving blue circle underneath mean?

    check with your carrier. Also how many bars do you have? Sometimes only having 1 bar will not send texts or make calls.
    BTW the red circle with the exclamation point in it means it failed to send.

  • I purchased two more tones but not on my phone. when I opened my phone in itunes on computer they show under tones but they won't play. they are faded gray with a dotted circle next to them. How do I get them to be black like my other tones and play

    I also have 3
    songs that are faded gray to that won't play

    I downloaded one of the file explorer programs (iFunbox in my case) for my PC and deleted everything out of the "Purchases" folder on the phone's "Raw File System". After a couple of syncs with iTunes everything was back to normal. It appears that something was screwed up on the iPhone side that iTunes couldn't sort out. I don't think anything could sync from iTunes to the phone, not just the greyed out items.
    This is why resetting and restoring the iPhone also works for a lot of people. It's overkill though, deletes your app data, and just wastes your time setting everything back up after the restore. Better to use the surgical approach of a file system explorer program on your PC to fix what appears to be a mundane data corruption issue.

  • What does the locked symbol with a retry circle around it mean?

    Since this symbol has came up I have been unable to send photos, and I do not understand why.

    If you mean the image below, that's the portrait orientation lock (prevents the screen from rotating).  That should have nothing to do with sending photos.  To turn it off, double-tap the home button, swipe to the right and tap the left-most icon (to the left of the music controls).

  • When I upload new music onto my iPhone 5 it causes existing music to no longer be playable and a circle with an exclamation mark to appear next to it. Or that it won't upload at all, the song is in grey with a dotted circle. Why is that?

    When I manually upload new music onto my iPhone 5 it causes existing music to no longer be playable and a circle with an exclamation mark to appear next to it. Or that it won't upload at all, the song is in grey with a dotted circle next to it. This is incredibly frustrating; especially as I have 1.9GB free on my phone.. why is that?

    Try this procedure; it has worked for many people.
    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

    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.

    Hi sonotim,
    I'm not sure what you mean by your question.  There's a couple of different ways of thinking about this.  Could you be more specific about what you're trying to find out?

  • When I sync music from iTunes to iPhone, the music shows a dotted circle in iTunes and does not play on my iphone, When I sync music from iTunes to iPhone, the music shows a dotted circle in iTunes and does not play on my iphone

    When I sync music from iTunes to iPhone, the music shows a dotted circle in iTunes and doesn't show or play on my iPhone music app.
    any ideas how to resolve this?

    after looking at a few other posts, i tried the uncheck the sync box, did a sync, rechecked the box, and synced again.  the music is now downloading into my phone.  if anyone else has this problem try this first.

  • Purchased ringtone  iphone 4 that is not in my itunes library when i click transfer purchases from it appears in the tones library but in a paler shade of print with a dotted circle to the left of it when i take any action it disappears

    have purchased ringtone on iphone 4 not in my itunes library when i click devices, transfer purchases from, it appears in tones in my library but in a paler shade of print with a dotted circle to the left of it, if i try to click on it or take any other action it disappears and leave a blank space i have tried this several time i want to transfer library to my new iphone 5 but i will loose the ringtone

    I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!!  (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
    Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
    Solution for the problem:
    1 - go to your IPhone settings
    2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
    3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
    4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
    Should solve your problem :~)

  • HT3964 What does a file folder with a question mark that appears upon startup?

    What does a file folder with a question mark which appears on startup mean??

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 or 10.8 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • What does a white screen with a file folder and question mark indicate?

    what does a white screen with a file folder and question mark indicate upon start up?

    That the computer can't find a useable boot volume.
    Boot from your grey installer DVD disc 1 (hold down the C key on startup or hold down Alt/option on start and choose the installer disc).
    OK the language page (if present). From the installer screen, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility; depending on the OS version it may be in the Utilities menu or Tools menu.
    In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.). Run Repair Disk (not Disk permissions). If problems are reported as repaired, run it again until you get a message in green "the volume seems to be OK".
    If it says it can't repair the disc, you may need heavier guns such as DiskWarrior or TechTool to attempt a rescue.
    Hope you have backups; retrieving data from adead drive can be expensive and tricky.

  • Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame st

    Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

    brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame
    PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.

  • What does an apple symbol with a line thru it mean

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
    What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
    Can you post a screenshot of it?
    If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from
    a. defining what you want to do
    and
    b. correcting any mis-steps you are taking in doing that
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.
