White Circle Next to Song

I am trying to upload about 25 songs onto my iPod. There is a white circle next to every single song I am trying to upload. I have deleted songs off of my iPod to make enough room, it says I have 3.67 GB free. I also have the manually manage music and videos box checked. I am only using the iPod for music so I do not have any apps on my iPod, I also turned off iCloud and deleted all my photos, contacts, and calendar things. Please help!

Bump.
Anyone?

Dotted circles next to songs, won't sync, red circle with square?

I've tried everything and NOTHING works... At first I had those stupid dotted circles next to every song. I restored it to original settings(as told by apple support), then re-synced everything and the songs started downloading and I was ecstatic. But then about half the songs were playable and the other half had the red circle with square inside. I was also told it will take awhile for them fully download considering I have somany songs. I waited over 12 hours with the ipod still connected and nothing changed.
I then saw that someone else on this posted and said to uncheck 'sync songs', sync the device, then click on sync songs and re-sync it, but then that resorted back to where I first started, back to every song having those dotted circles next to them.
I've contacted apple about this issue numerous time and it just seems like they have no idea what they're doing. They were really nice and tried to help as much as they could, but in the end they were absolutely no help and the problem still existed. If anyone could please help me, I'd gladly appreciate it. I have no what to do anymore besides buy a new iPod, and I'd rather not over a stupid problematic thing like this.
I started a new discussion because no one was replying to the older ones anymore.
Every single song is like and they won't sync.... It is frustrating me so much. I listen to music constantly through-out my day and It annoys me that I hjave to stay at the computer to listen to them. Just a few weeks ago everything was all peachy and worked. In the past weeks I've updated to iOS 7.0.2 and then iOS 7.0.3 the other day. I sometimes wish I hadn't updated to iOS 7, because I never had an issue like this before in the past 10 years of me owning and Apple iPod.

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

I've got a greyed out circle next to songs that I am trying to put on my daughter's iPhone 5c.

I've looked up previous discussions and to be honest have no idea how to fix the issue. I've tried manual sync, auto sync, deleted, redownloaded and tried again to no avail. I don't understand some of the posts that have been out there on changing file names etc. Please help

Check your preferences under the music tab for your device in iTunes.

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not seem to be related to. Is your question concerning iTunes Match or syncing with iTunes via USB?

Why do songs that I just had on my iPhone have a dotted circle next to them and won't sync to my phone?

I recently downloaded about 20 new songs and put them into iTunes. I synced my iPhone with iTunes, but suddenly unchecked songs started syncing to my iPhone and the songs i had downloaded would not. I looked into it and under "on my phone," the songs had dotted circles to the left of them. I restarted the phone, i restarted the computer, and finally i cleared the phone and restored it to the back-up. After restoring it didn't work, I unsynced all of my music from the phone and tried to resync all of the checked songs onto it but ALL of the songs i previously had on the phone have the dotted circle next to them. I am so incredibly frustrated and have no idea why this is happening. Why it 1) downloads unchecked songs, 2) has dotted circles next to all of my songs, and 3) won't sync any music I have checked as they are all now marked with the dotted circles. Please help! How do i fix this?

I had this issue on my iphone 4, and two songs listed on the iPhone in iTunes had the dotted circle. I researched it, and I found a hundred different answers. Some were complicated like uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. All I did was this... In iTunes under Music, I simply unchecked Sync Music, and I deleted all music from my iPhone. I then checked Sync Music, chose all the songs I wanted. No songs in iTunes had dotted circles, and all songs on my iPhone played.

Songs not syncing - greyed out & dotted circle next to them

When I updated my iPod Touch 5th gen to IOS 8.1 most of my artwork did not sync.
Today I updated to IOS 8.1.1 in the hope this would sort the above problem. SOME of the missing artwork has been restored but not all. however
the recent additions to my library from CD and purchases from a supplier other than iTunes Store are now showing under Recent Purchases and are
GREYED OUT WITH A DOTTED CIRCLE next to them. They are showing & playing correctly in my library on my PC. Can anyone help to explain this.
APPLE - IF YOU WANT TO LOSE LONG STANDING CUSTOMERS YOU ARE CERTAINLY MAKING A GOOD JOB OF THAT WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS !.

Tried to sync again today in hope.
The Good News - All the greyed out & circled items have synced to my iPod.
Now the Weird News - 1) Although the items have synced they still are greyed out with circle when you look at Music under My Device.
2) Of the 6227 items ticked to sync from my library of 8000 there has been 6414 synced - 50 songs purchased very recently from iTunes Store have duplicated & another 137 random songs show a cloud with downward arrow which were items which were unticked in my library so should not have been synced. 3) It is showing 44.14 GB of free space when there is only 2.9 GB of space left.
APPLE - Every time I update or sync my iPod my stress levels now go through the roof. If any other companies goods/services had this much hassle they would be out of business !

My phone as working fine until suddenly 90% of my music, most purchased, skipped over in shuffle. i then looked again and it had a little red circle next to the song and it wont play. It works fine on my iTunes on my laptop but not on my iPhone 4

playlist/songs appear in iphone4 buit won't play. Have a read circle next to them

I have the same problem even from iTunes bought music it appears with dashed grey circle beside the ones that I have recently added to my iPod by downloading them from the iPod itself. I honestly think it has to do with the 7.0.3 update that they have recently released. It may have solved other problems but it has created more problems along the way.
Hopefully there will be a solution soon, if anyone has news or solutions please post thankyou
At least now I know I'm not the only one with the same kinda problem

Dashed circle symbol next to songs.

I put 4 albums on my computer from Google Play. Added them to ITunes and then synced with IPod Touch. 2 albums transferred no problem, other 2 show up with dashed circle symbol next to the songs and they aren't really on my IPod. I accidentally deleted one of the transferred songs and when I put it back in, it now has a dashed circle next to it and won't play. I have rebooted both computer and IPod.Any suggestions?

OK, just got off with Apple Support. One of the songs I added to ITunes somehow corrupted during the add. After that, no more songs will download. I had to delete all songs off my IPod and then readd them. Downloads all working now with no problems.
A BIG THANKS TO APPLE SUPPORT!

What is the meaning of the dotted circle next to a song on a playlist?

Why is there a dotted circle next to certain songs on a playlist that reflect on my iPhone on iTunes and these same songs after syncing are not reflecting on my iPhone?

What is the meaning of this -
Object[] x = {new String[]{"a","b"}};
I have a function which takes Object[] as a argument.
And I have data structure like this -
Name = Zoolander
Name = Hansel
Name = Mugatu
I am not interested in the Name part. This has to be
converted to - Object[] x = {new String[]{"a","b"}}
It works if I hard code the values like this -
Object[] x = {new
String[]{"Zoolander","Hansel","Mugatu"};
Thanks in advanceI don't think you need the outer set of braces:String[] x = new String[]{"x","y","z"};will work, and does exactly what you expect it to do.

HT1386 i cannot sync my full playlist. Songs showing up in "on this phone" greyed out with dotted circle next to it. How do i fix it?

I cannot sync my whole playlist. Keep having songs greyed out in "on this phone" with dotted circle next to them. Tried restarting phone and itunes. Also tried syncing songs out of the phone and re-syncing them back on with no success. I really do not want to reset the whole phone. Please help.

To clarify, I meant to say, when I plug my phone into my computer and connect to ITunes.

Why after upgrading to the new os do some songs in the Ipod library have a dashed circle next to them.

After upgrading to the new os some songs in my library will not sync to my Ipod. I can see them on my computer in the Ipod library with a dashed circle next to them. How do I get them to play on my Ipod. They are songs from store bought CD's in my Itunes library that will play on my computer in Itunes. They do not appear on my Ipod. I can see them when the Ipod is connected to the computer in the Ipod library. I reset the Ipod by holding the home & power button, I went into general settings and reset the device. I synced again but still no songs.

I have the same problem even from iTunes bought music it appears with dashed grey circle beside the ones that I have recently added to my iPod by downloading them from the iPod itself. I honestly think it has to do with the 7.0.3 update that they have recently released. It may have solved other problems but it has created more problems along the way.

Why do some of my songs have a dotted circle next to it

Why do some of my songs have a dotted circle next to it? And I know it has to do with not allowing me to transfer those songs from iTunes to iPhone 4S.

That indicates the file can't be found, based on the the original location provided to the iTunes library when you first added the track.

Gray song and circle next to title

I cant play one of my albums that I purchased a while ago. Songs show up gray and have a circle next to the name

Hi itsjustangie,
Try deleting the song on the PC and then re-downloading it from the Cloud.
Cheers,
