what the hell does a circle with a series of grey dots and the name greyed out mean in iTunes when attempting to sync an iPhone?

Why does my iphone keep redirecting me to the app store? Like 5 or 6 times in a row this shyt is getting annoying.
its a fukking ad redirect bs is specific to THIS SITE. Hopefully @cook or @Brooklynzson can find the offending ad scripts and fix it. Its becoming impossible to browse thecoli on an iphone now it seems.

This is the 10th time I've had to do a full restore on this piece of shyt. It always syncs fine at first but it randomly hangs and corrupts all the music on the device that gets lumped into that category called Other and nothing short of a full restore will reclaim that data. I'm done with iTunes. Its a broken piece of crap that doesn't even function properly on a basic level.

How do yall manage music on the iPhone? iTunes with auto sync, manually manage music on iTunes? Copy Trans? Media Monkey?

When I try to log into the coli from my iPhone 6 some spam comes up called lofty? And then it redirects me to the App Store to download that app. Any idea why and how to fix it?

I'm glad to find out these sync issues aren't just happening to me.

The greyed out songs with the dotted circles that won't sync, the whole stuck on Waiting for changes to be applied for hours, the corruption of music then listing it all in the other category rendering it inaccessible, the inability to add new music at all after the first couple sync sessions because all new songs get greyed out after that.

I know 18000 songs is a lot to put on this device but that's not even half my music collection I had to pick and choose what albums to put on there and I bought this 128GB for a reason. Its hard to believe I paid over $800 for this device and I can't even regularly sync or add music to it without it having serious issues.

This device came out months ago and its still this broken. I know it's not really the device it's iTunes. If they can't get it right with iTunes then they should just let us drag and drop music like on Android. This is the second time in the same day I've had to sync all 18,000 songs to this device. It has to sit there for hours doing this because the transfer rates in iTunes are so bad.

I wish. There is a certain ad that causes it to occur. When the ad doesn't appear, its fine, but when the ad appears in the banner it causes the redirect. Its the ad with some fukking red balloon.
