Sep 18, 2013 6:13 PM in response to Jerry Barrowby Jerry Barrow,Just wanted to update in case anyone else was wondering what this was. It seems that despite my telling iTunes to copy all my music over, some songs were not. There is a "Download All" button (which thanks to the new iOS doesn't look like a button) I tapped and these songs were finally copied over. I don't understand why they weren't to begin with since they were on my phone this morning before the iOS7 update. Go figure?
Now I'm off to attempt reading my new iOS7 calendar. Anyone got a pair of magnifying glasses? Awful.

Sep 20, 2013 10:48 AM in response to james_yliselaby Jerry Barrow,I found it at the top of the playlist on the right side, it's hard to find because it seems iOS7 buttons don't look like buttons anymore, just plain text links (my biggest gripe about this update).

Sep 20, 2013 11:19 AM in response to Jerry Barrowby Jerry Barrow,Just to note, the red circles with red squares appear to be a progress icon, displaying the progress of a song's download. My iPad library shows a cloud icon with an arrow instead, tapping it displays the red circle and the song begins to download. My iPhone didn't show the cloud icon, just the red circle and tapping it didn't seem to do anything. My guess is there was a glitch displaying the wrong icon, tapping the "Download All" link at the top worked when tapping the individual circles did not.
Edit: I don't use iTunes Match anymore and turned off the service on all my devices. I quit using iTunes Match several weeks ago due to poor performance.

Sep 20, 2013 11:17 AM in response to Jerry Barrowby james_ylisela,hmm, werid. Yeah, I can't see my download all icon, and all the song I have problems with are songs imported from CDs years ago and they were not properly registered by itunes back in the day. All my itunes purchases work. I guess I will have to restore my iphone at this point.
But, yeah. This is a major bummer. It seems like I have the same problem as you but I don't see the download all button.
Thanks for your help!

Sep 20, 2013 11:23 AM in response to james_yliselaby Jerry Barrow,I wonder if it's iTunes Match (if you use the service) that's causing this problem. I quit using Match several weeks ago after it wouldn't work for a week. I called Apple who told me only 400 of my songs had been uploaded to the cloud, which wasn't correct because I had over 1500 songs in the cloud. After Match began to work again I downloaded all my music back to my devices and turned the service off because dumb me hadn't made a backup first.

Sep 20, 2013 11:32 AM in response to Jerry Barrowby james_ylisela,Yeah, I haven't set up itunes match yet. Do you recommened that I use it? The issue is probably because I imported CD's without any internet connection at the time when I was like 17 when I got my first ipod back in 2002. So for example, Steely Dan Album is listed as track1, 2, 3, etc. And it's not under artists. ugh. I hate this crap.

Sep 20, 2013 12:18 PM in response to james_yliselaby Jerry Barrow,Most of my music came from CDs as well but luckily had a net connection to update my database with the CD info. I've slowly re-added some albums over time to get rid of those pesky "Track 1" songs, basically rebuilding. I sorted my library by "date added" to make it easier. Match worked great... at first. After about a month it tanked, unable to connect to the iTunes store and updating my library across my devices. There are quite a few threads about this since the problem began. It began to work again after a couple weeks, but not 100%, still occasionally losing connection with the iTune Store. I ended up turning it off after I was able to connect and download all my music back to my laptop. I called Apple and they said my database only had around 400 songs, which was incorrect because I had well over 1500 I'd uploaded to Match. If I turned off Match then I'd have lost all that music. Here's one of the threads about our Match disaster.

Personally I wouldn't use it having had an awful experience (along with lots of other people). It wasn't an isolated problem and Apple never acknowledged it. I now make monthly backups to an external drive. Best of luck!

Sep 21, 2013 9:37 PM in response to Swraith01by Swraith01,Never mind, that just hid the songs with the circles. I just got done resetting the phone and erasing all data then redoing the phone as new, not from a back up. Everything is fine now.
