I keep getting this "text" saying, "It's time to change your ringtone". What does that mean? I can't get this other ringtone to download to my new iPhone 5s. Wjosten's earlier suggest didn't help. Sorry. I tried what he said to do, but I could not get the ringtone "coqui" to download to the phone after connecting it to the iTunes stores and backing it up. The ringtone in question is in my library, but I cannot copy it or move it to my iPhone. Hope somebody can help.

I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?
If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk. -
I have recently dropped Earthink as me dial-up provider. I now am using Virgin Mobile Broadband2GO. I was using Safari. I am now using Yahoo! Mail Plus. It suggested I switch to Firefox. I had an older version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and started using it. It suggested I needed to upgrade because many of the newer web sites wouldn't work well on this older version. I downloaded the newer version and proceeded with the installation and it would tell me this: '''The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.''' I have re-downloaded and tried it again two more times. I haven't a clue what that means or what to do about it.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

"do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
My computer at work is on a network with pcs and one other mac. Recently I had issues with illustrator crashing when I tried to open a file, Apple and Adobe were unable to solve the problem after working on it for 3 days with them on the phone. I decided to try Archive and reinstall. That fixed the Illustrator problem, but now I have a new problem. I can no longer move files from my computer onto the network. I CAN move files FROM the network onto my computer, OPEN the files on the network and edit them and save them under the same name. But if I try to save a new file to the network it tells me:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
I used to be able to move everything I wanted into any folder I wanted, but now I'm limited. I can move files to the other iMac's desktop no problem, but moving files to the network isn't working.
I asked the network tech and he said that everyone should have full privileges because there aren't privileges to be set. I've asked him to reset my account on the network but he said that wouldn't make a difference.
No the files aren't locked, no the network folders are not locked/restricted or anything. I'm stumped!
The only other option I can think of is to completely delete and reinstall my OS :IHI,
If you haven't done so, try repairing disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

I am abroad for the summer and there is no internet available. I purchased a hotspot in a nearby vodaphone and they helped me connect the Ipad to the hotspot. I assumed I would have no trouble after that. Once I got home though and connected to the hotspot i found i could not open the internet without getting a notice about not connecting to the server. I have a signal and can connect to the hotspot and yet i get no internet. I already spent 50 euro on the hotspot for 2 months of wifi...is there a way to actually fix the problem without me having to spend more money?
I'm guessing e mail does not work either. While the pad is seeing the network, it is not yet connecting, probably trying to work through your security set up. I suggest you go to settings, then network, then the details of the network. Do you see an ip address that starts with 192.168.1. Then some number? If not, the router has not made friends with the pad.
Suggest that from that same screen, you select 'forget this network'. Then start over again, paying close attention to what happens when you provide the security password. -
Sync Icon on Menu Bar? What does this mean? How can I get more info on it?
I just noticed for the first time, a SYNC icon on the Macbook Pro/Lion menu bar and it is going strong - twirling its little heart out. Im not sure what this is or what it is doing. Im having a feeling something got set up (I dont really know what Im doing ) that had to do with maybe syncing a calendar with Google? for an Android phone? Is t here a way I can check out what this is and what its doing - It just keeps twirling around so Im not sure what its doing or how long it will take and I dont know that I want it doing wh atever its doing. Maybe it has something to do with contacts? The only option I can find when I click on the icon, it says 'cancel sync.' Is there a way to "get info" - and find out what its doing. I dont want it twirlling forever as I assume thats going to eat up the battery...I dont have anything set up to sync consistently so I dont know whats its doing or whether I should stop it. Its been going on for like over 5 minutes and that doesnt seem right to me

I have a dell 64 bit pc and had an older version of ITunes installed. When I tried to install the 12--- version, the install stopped with the message, "Apple Mobile Device Services failed to start, verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services". I have no clue what that means. can anyone help. ????
Hi doywks,
The Apple Mobile Device is a component of iTunes that communicates between your computer and your iPhone or iOS device. The error message you are seeing "verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" has to do with the Windows operating system. It's possible that you are not logged in as the administrator for your Windows PC. Or, you may have antivirus software stopping the Apple Mobile Device from running.
If you are having issues updating iTunes on your PC, follow the steps in the article below.
