"homemade" tones not liked by iTunes on new computer

I am not sure which forum this needs to go in, but since it is a question regarding ringtones downloaded to iTunes, I figured I would start here.
So anyway, here’s my situation (Hang with me here - I am big on details, especially when it comes to help forums; my problem isn’t exactly
stated until paragraphs 3-6): I downloaded 4 ringtones to my iTunes; One of them I purchased, and three others are sounds from DVDs that I used the QuickVoice2Text Pro app on my iPhone to record (I have an iPhone 5 version 6.1.3), upload to my computer using the QuickVoice PC software, and then did some tweaking through another software program in order to download them into iTunes and make them into ringtones. Since doing that, the Dell Inspiron with a Windows 7 OS that I had originally downloaded the 4 ringtones onto cracked its screen. Therefore, since I cannot live without my computer (even though the computer itself was not damaged, but it is 2 ½ years old and could crash at any moment), I went out and bought a new Lenovo with a Windows 8.1 OS.
After installing iTunes version 11.3.0.54 for Windows on my new computer, I was able to transfer all of my music over from my old computer to my new one using my iPod Touch (Plus some help from my dad). While I was syncing my music, I also ended up synced all of the apps from both my iPhone and iPod touch (because of the settings on theiTunes on my Dell, my iPod Touch automatically downloaded all of the apps that I had backed up from both devices), which meant that my new iTunes had record that I had purchased the QV2TP app, which In turn meant that I could download the QVPC software onto my new computer (The software is downloaded by emailing a certain address, they check to make sure that you have the app installed and if so, they give you a link to install QVPC on windows and another to install it on mac).
This is where my problem comes in: When I tried backing up my phone to my new computer, it transferred the ringtones over: The one that I purchased
is fine, but the three that I had made all have a circle located to the left of the “check” box with an exclamation point in the middle. When I try and play them,
I keep getting a pop-up that says “The Ringtone ‘……..’ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?” The
first couple times, I clicked “yes,” and got nowhere. At first, I presumed that because I had initially uploaded the files to my Dell that they were on its hard
drive and somehow were not brought over to my new computer (likely due to some security reason or whatnot); however, when I tried rerecording and re-uploading the tones-to-be, the QVPC software rejected them all and deleted them from its “server.”
I have tried checking the box under “Tones” when my phone is connected and selected, but then it asks me if I want to delete all of my current tones off of my phone and sync over the ones that I have selected in my iTunes library under “Tones”, to which I have to say ‘No”. Yes, I do want to keep the one that I have selected; however, No, I do not want to delete the others that I already have on my phone that I created from my dell. I would like to create another ringtone from YouTube (which is not a problem); but am afraid that if I sync my tones to my phone that it will erase the other three that I made from DVD snippets that are NOT on YouTube.
Is there any way that I can play my video in iTunes, record the snippets that I want from there, and then mess around with them? If not, do you know of any other way that I can get these tones back working into my iTunes?
Again, sorry for all of the miscellaneous details at the beginning – just like to be thorough when explaining my situation to another.

Did you import the tracks into iTunes again or replace the entire iTunes folder?
Check out this Apple article -> iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
It provides the best way to move your music from one computer to another. It suggests consolidating the library, copying it to the thumb drive, moving the empty or smaller library to another folder, then copying the consolidated library from the thumb drive to the Music folder on the new computer.
If you have two librarys with music and stuff in them, you'll want to import the smaller library into the larger one by dragging and dropping stuff onto the iTunes icon or going to File > Import.

  • IPod Touch will not sync with iTunes on new computer

    I recently got a new computer (Dell to HP, which shouldn't make any difference). I downloaded iTunes on the new computer and was able to get all my music, tv shows, and movies onto my new computer using a Flash Drive.
    I have contacted iTunes help twice now and they have basically given me nothing to work with. I have all the updated software (2.2.1 or so), and I have restore my iPod Touch about 3 times because I was told this would work.
    When I try to sync my iPod Touch, it tells me that it could not sync because certain songs "could not be found". I have every single one of my purchases and stuff from CDs on my iTunes and I just want this fixed so I can use my iPod Touch again.
    My iPod is now empty except for a few applications and pictures that, for some reason, were able to get past all that and can be synced. If anyone has had this problem, please please please help me. I am getting very close to ripping my hair out with frustration and/or throwing my iPod Touch out of the window.

    unless you do TWO (and I mean BOTH) things... 1) put the audio files in the same path as on the old laptop... and 2) copied over (or exported) library info, you will have to do something else... and all it is, is to tell the itunes to "add folder".
    Once you add the folder, just consolidate it.
    When I bought my new laptop, I had copied my music library and the extra account information. I restored the account info, but put my music in a different location (on a completely separate drive, which has saved me a few times since). So I had to change the preferences to point to the correct location, and it picked up ALL the songs.
    I've since done a recovery on my new laptop a few times... and unfortunately I didn't save a copy of the account info (my old laptop has "glitched" out since, and I have no access to that info either). So even though my music is still there, I have to tell iTunes to "add folder", even though I changed the preferences to use that same folder as its library.

  • Playlists not showing up after moving itunes to new computer

    moved itunes to new computer and used an externa;l harddrive to move "iTunes" folder over.  the most recent "setup" of itunes on old computer is not showing on new computer.  For example "music" file size on external drive is 133GB - on new computer itunes, only 33GB.  and, playlists have disapeared.  any ideas?

    See Make a split library portable for some background on moving the library successfully. You need the main iTunes library.itl file, its supporting files and the Album Artwork folder as well.
    If you can find that data it should be possible to put everything together in the right shape and make it work.
    Otherwise I have two scripts called ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats which may prove useful.

    Hi Dalegu219,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
    You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of these screens:
    Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
    From:
    iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
    If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • My iPod frozen on "Do not disconnect" yet it does not appear in iTunes on my computer ?

    My iPod seems to be frozen on "Do not disconnect" yet it does not appear in iTunes on my computer ? Eventually I did disconnect. It's remains frozen and shows almost full charge.

    I'm having similar problems. Here is exactly what happens to me:
    I dock the iPod (I believe it is the 5th gen model, one of the first to play videos). Sometimes it syncs properly sometimes not. It will add songs not on my iPod, but it won't update the play count, last played, etc. The problem was fixed when I updated to a new version of iTunes (I believe it was 7.2 at the time, I could be wrong). So I played it off just being an iTunes issue. Well, with 2 updates since then, it has done it yet again. I've tried to restart the iPod using the menu+select key. It will work to remove the iPod, but it won't help in the future. The only way I can remove the iPod is to click on "Safely Remove Hardware." I know this isn't good for the iPod, but this is the only way that I can get the "Do not disconnect" icon off my iPod. Also, I tried to click "Eject iPod" (I've used this several times in emergency cases and worked wonders) but I get a message saying "iPod is in use by another windows program." I couldn't imagine what program is using my iPod. As far as I know, iTunes is the only program that can use the iPod on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
