What does the little cloud with a down arrow next to a song mean

I upgraded my phone from iOS6 to iOS7 and had to remove all my music to get enough space which is fine because I wanted to reload it anyways. When I opened the music app, thinking there would be no music there, I was surprised to fine hundreds of songs each with a little cloud with a down arrow next to them. What does the little cloud with the down arrow mean? If I click on it am I purchasing something? Are they songs I can listen to for free? I don't use and have never signed up for an iCloud account so they can't be songs I purchased because I haven't purchased any songs.

Means they are stored in the cloud and you need to download them.

I have just purchase Apple TV and uploaded my itunes from my pc to icloud, this has been shared to my ipad and i now have a little cloud with a red arrow next to all my tunes, so all would seem well, but on the apple tv nothing in music ? is it me?

I have just purchased Apple TV and an ipad, i have uploaded my itunes to icloud from my pc and activated sharing, i now have all my tunes on the ipad and pc and all have a little cloud with a red arrow next to them so all seems well, but when i go on Apple TV, and i'm all signed in and all boxes checked, i click on music, my music, and all files are empty, should i not see my itunes and be able to play them from my apple TV, or have i misunderstood what the cloud is for.?
Any answers please. Apple TV 3rd Gen, Ipad Air.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't play music from the computer if there is none there. If you are using iTunes Match you should now be able to download and play all your music on the Apple TV from the music feature on the main page.

What does the little circle with a line in it mean when in edit mode? how can I get rid of it?

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

How do I download an item with a cloud with a down arrow next to it?

I purchased an app, but all I get is a cloud with a down arrow. When i click on the cloud I'm told I've purchased the item and it will download now. Then the silly cloud appears again......

You do not need to delete it as it is not there. It is only in iCloud.
You can go to settings and turn off the Show All music selection, if you do not want to see the songs that are not on your device, but available via iCloud.

What does the little bubble with three dots on the lower left side of the Messages screen on my iPhone 4 mean?

frequently, after messages are exchanged on my iPhone 4 there is a little bubble on the lower left of the message screen that has three dots. What do they mean?

It means the other person is typing.

I purchased a free app from app store for iPhone 5 and it will not download; just gives me the little cloud with arrow pointing down. I have version 7.1.2 What do I do?

I purchased a free app from App Store for my iPhone 5s, iOS version 7.1.2. It will not download; just gives me the little cloud with arrow pointing down. What do I need to do to get the app to load?

Hello mjhardy,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error while downloading apps. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

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

This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

What does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it + also
supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
•About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
{ did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
Here's an official support topic page about it.
•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!
Good luck & happy computing!

HT1766 what does 'the activation server is temporarily down' mean?

what does 'the activation server is temporarily down' mean?

That you may have jailbroken your phone. You may have used that computer to jailbreak a phone. You may have a bad hosts file on the computer because of that. There are many reasons, but generally those are the main ones. According to this http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ there are no system outages.

What is the little cloud doing in iTunes 11?

I've upgarded to the latest iTunes (version 11) and it keeps indicating that something is happening with iCloud... the little cloud icon keeps scrolling its grey bars across like it's doing something:
What is that little cloud icon actually doing? I have absolutely no material synced to iCloud so I can't imagine why it'd be trying to do anything there... especially without asking me first if that’s what I want.
Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Jerrold Green1
you said:
Best bet would be to go back to Numbers '09. If you can, locate a backup document from prior to opening and editing in Numbers '13 and reopen it in Numbers '09.
Are you thinking go into Time Machine to before I opened Numbers 3.1?
Or open Numbers '09 and open the Numbers in 3.1.
Arrrgggh,
I entered time machine to before I installed Mavericks, and before I opened and used Numbers 3.1. Selected the file in Time Machine, it brought in expenses 2014 to the location of the original. Message said there is one there, keep both, replace or something else.
I said keep both.
Clicked to open, it opened in 3.1. I used Numbers 9 2.3 to try to open the file and it said I needed a newer version of Numbers to open this file.
I appreciate your suggestions and with out wanting to conqure the world at this point I am going to cut bate and continue to use Numbers 3.1 as best I can. I am not an accountant or a number person, I am a blues musician and this file has been helping me for 4 years.
I'll get though the tax dance and evolve into numbers if need be as the year goes on.
Again, thanks for your interest in helping.

What does the black screen with large exclamation point mean?

I'm trying to edit, or even just select a photo in iPhoto, but can't get it to come up - just the black screen with a large exclamation point. What does that mean, and how do I get back control of my photos?

It means your database is corrupted and that iPhoto has lost the link between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the actual file.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager 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, faces and places 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.
Regards
TD

I'm exhausted! Trying to find an answer to WHY iTunes won't allow me to drag a song to my iPod Nano? It was originally an MP3; I unzipped the file; I played it in iTunes song list; it had a ! next to it; iTunes asked if it should find the file; iT found the file; the ! was removed; I played it again in iT; when I tried to drag it to my iPod, THERE WAS A RED CIRCLE WITH A LINE THRU IT???? I have yet to find--i googled and youtubed and appled til my eyes and brain and fingers ached and burned ;(--what the SYMBOL means?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I have been able to download similar audio of this nature...Not sure why this one is BLOCKED?
Thank you!

I did have spotify premium on my phone, it then stopped working so I deleted it but can no longer re download it from app store, the 'open' symbol is not available only a cloud with a down arrow coming from it?

I did have spotify premium on my phone, it stopped working so I deleted it from my iphone 5, when I tried reinstalling the app the 'open' tab is no longer available instead there is a picture of a cloud with an arrow coming down from it. Can anyone suggest how I might reinstall the spotify app onto my iphone again?

The 'open' button only show after you've installed it on your phone, the cloud symbol imdicates that the app is only in the cloud - if you tap on the cloud icon it should download onto your phone.

What does the Mouse Pointer with Letter 'M' mean?

Couldn't find any info on this via search, and I'm still a little new to LP8 so pardon this question if it's been asked many times before.
Just wondering what the mouse-pointer with the letter 'M' attached to it means. I notice it pops up when I open songs I made in Logic Pro 6 inside Logic Pro 8.
Thanks,
David

Never ceases to amaze me how many times I answer my own questions on various forums but only, of course, after actually posting it. No wonder it didn't pop up on any searches.
It's the mute tool in case any other newbies stumble upon this post.
