Why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it and how do i remove it

why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it

Here's what I had to do, no thanks to the others on here who go at it like Apple, delete and restore.
No, you don't have to delete and restore. Just open a folder on  your computer, call it something like iPad music, keep it open, open iTunes, select all your music, copy and paste it in the folder you just created, delete all your music from iTunes (relax, you just copied it into that folder). Select all the music in that folder, drop it back onto your playlist. Now, I renamed my playlist, because it was called untitled, originally, so if that doesn't work, rename, or delete and recreate your playlist, copy the music back over, sync, and they will play.
Worked for me, anyhow. Good luck!

  • Why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it?

    On my iPad 3, in music, some of my songs have a red circle with a square dot, the songs are grayed out and I am unable to play them. Is there a new setting with ios 7? Does it no longer play mp3's?

  • Why does the Windows 7 desktop theme interfere with PDF's showing inside Firefox and how to fix it?

    Windows 7
    Firefox 28.0
    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (my default PDF viewer)
    I have the browser set to display PDF's: "Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox." This works fine for a while, then it stops working. I get a white page instead with a pop-up window: "Adobe Acrobat" in the top left corner, a blue question mark in the message field and an OK button on the lower right corner. Clicking the OK button does nothing. Changing the desktop theme image to "Windows 7 Basic" magically cures the problem. After changing the desktop image back to the personalized image, the PDF's will continue showing for a brief period, then they will stop again until resetting the theme to "Windows 7 Basic" again. Can this problem be cured permanently?

  • When I try to sync my iPhone 4s it no longer works.  I have a bunch of songs that now show up on my iPhone with a red circle with a box inside of it and they won't play, yet I can find them and play them on my Mac.  What do I do?

    My iphone 4s will no longer sync music from my music library on my Macbook Pro.  I also have a bunch of songs that now have a red circle with a box in it next to the song on my phone and those songs will not play.  They are present in my itunes library and I can play them on my Mac but they will not play on my iphone.  I have tried unchecking all the music and applying those changes and syncing and it does nothing.  All the same music remains on my phone, unchanged.  Help! What do I do? I have read to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it but will I lose all my music?

    Hello Courtney,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone.  It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

  • My songs on ipad have a red circle with a red square in the middle and they don't play anyone know what is happening?

    Several  songs have the cloud symbol with a red arrow and I think they play. But the ones with the red circle and red square in the center do not play. Can this be fixed> What does it mean?
    Thanks in advance,

    See this Apple support document.

    You'll notice that the problem is usually associated with a failed/damaged hard drive, meaning you'll likely need to have your iPod serviced if you want to get it working again.

  • I have a red circle with a one in it on my setting icon, i have looked at my setting and i can't find anything open or running

    i have a number one in a red circle on my settings icon, i have tried to find out y but to no avail

    Same problem, Software update is up to date. Still have red circloe with "1" on it. Any other idea's?

  • What does the icon with the red circle with a square inside (much like a power button) mean?

    I've copied much of my home CD collection to iTunes but some of the albums will not play.  They are shown in my libraries but when opened each song in the album has a redcircle with a square inside icon displayed.  When I go to play an album with the red icons listed next to each song the app quickly scans through the list of songs - no audio and that's it.
    What does this icon mean?  And how can I correct the problem?

  • Why does iPhone automatically enter my entire email address when I simply type "gmail" and how to I turn it off?

    Why does my iPhone automatically enter my entire email address when I simply type "gmail" and how to I turn it off?  It also does it whenever I type it in Safari (but not Chrome) and it only does it with one of my email addresses and not any of my other ones (i.e., yahoo, hotmail, etc.). 
    Thanks so much for your help!

    I don't see visible underscores in that login form, but they appear to be entered (that form isn't high enough to show them for me).
    You can verify that in the Scratchpad and use Execute > Display after pasting the below posted code.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s stall when I turn on the sleep/wake button and how do I fix it

    I was just wondering why my iPhone 4s stalls when I press the
    Sleep/wake button? And how do I fix it?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Why does my screen have a black background with all colours reveresed?

    I've been having a few problems with freezing in my CAD programme. Today I sort of stopped it but the screen image became all fragmented. I have restarted several times but now the desktop back ground is orange rather than blue & the icons are black. Is this an Nvidia problem & if so how can i fix it.
    thanks  AJ
    In pressing all they keys to try & unfreeze it I must have swithched it from black on white to whilte on black!

    whoops I just solved it! There is a white on black screen preference  but its not under Displays its under Universal Acess. V/relieved

  • Is my classic 80 gb ipod toast? I have a red circle with an x

    It won't charge and computer doesn't recognize it. 

    Yes, the Fatal Red X, means that you Hardisk cant boot up, bring it in to Apple Store or 3rd Party iPod service for  HD replacement.

  • My Ipod classic shows a red circle with an X in the center, and a web site for apple support

    IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO START IT AND GET IT BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN?
    The PC / Itunes software does not recdognize it

    Hi Crystal Newkirk,
    I've come across the following information which may be helpful. If you are seeing the red "X" icon on the display, we will need to restore your iPod from Disk Mode.

  • Why does TDM Importer start up when I open an Excel file in LabVIEW, and how can I stop it?

    I have a new application using LabVIEW 2012 SP1.  I open an Excel file using the Report Generation toolkit and when I do so, a small TDM Importer window pops up on top of the Excel file.  
    How can I prevent this?

    Hi Steve,
    The TDM Importer pops up because the report generated in LabVIEW is in the TDMS file format.  TDMS is a binary file that requires an importer to make sense of the binary data and translate it into an Excel spreadsheet.  As per this white paper, the appearance of the floating toolbar is expected behavior:  http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5874/en/
    To the best of my knowledge, you cannot get rid of the floating toolbar unless you uninstall the add-in, in which case you probably would not be able to open your LabVIEW-generated reports.  However, as of Excel 2007, the toolbar is embedded in the "Add-Ins" tab instead of floating on your spreadsheet.  You can see how the toolbar looks as of Excel 2007 in step 6 of this white paper:  http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5885/en/
    If there is a way to embed the toolbar in Excel 2003, it would be the exact same way you would embed any other floating customer toolbar in Excel.  In other words, I don't think this has anything to do with the fact that it's NI's add-in.  This is just the way Excel 2003 and earlier treats add-in toolbars.  Someone on these forums may well know a way to embed it (perhaps a macro?), but you may have better luck contacting Microsoft.  I'm not sure whether it's even possible for a user to embed the toolbar.
