.99c Alert Tones Stop Working After Sync

About 4 weeks ago I purchased three .99cent alert tones (R2D2: Happy, Chewbacca: Roar, and Lightsaber: Power Up). However once I synced my 4s with my macbook the tones vanished from the phone, and no matter what I do (resets, de-selecting sync tones then reselecting it, manually dragging it over to the phone) these 3 tones will not get onto the phone. All of my $1.29 tones still work however.
I re-purchased them (hey Apple - how about not making people pay multiple times for tones), and again, the tones worked until my Iphone synced with my macbook, then the same vanishing act occured.
Does anyone, especially someone from Apple, have any input on a REAL fix for this? I would think if itunes simply let me re-download them without having to but them again, just like it was stored in icloud, would be a cumbersome, albeit useul fix. It wouldn't be perfect, but at least that would let me have my tones.

I was able to fix my tones not syncing. Right-click one in iTunes and choose Show in Finder. Change the extensions from .m4a to .m4r, and choose to use the new .m4r extension for each file. Re sync and they will show up and work.

Siri stops working after syncing with computer

I just got my iphone 4s yesterday. Everything was working great until i tried to sync my iphone with my computer and then Siri stop working. It kept saying that "i am having problems connecting to the network." If i restore my iphone it works great again until i try to sync it with my computer. Then Siri stops working again. Does anyone know why this is?

press and hold home button, siri pops up, then press the mic button to make it stop talking.
press and hold sleep button, untill you see slide to unlock (Do not slide though)
after that get rid of THAT message, and try siri again.
works like a charm

IPhone 4 Apps stop working after sync

Everytime I sync my I phone my downloaded apps will not open. I can correct this by downloading another App but that is a pain. I want to be able to sync my iPhone and not have my app stop working.

I've just noticed the 'more like this' section on the right with similar problems and it appears to be a common problem with iTunes not being authorised so I have now done that and hopefully it'll be fine now. I just opened iTunes then went to store-authorise this computer.

App Store Apps Stop Working After Sync

On my 3G, I have paid, downloaded & used 4 apps from the apps store. They have worked fine until synching. After Sync, the icons still appear on my phone but the appps no longer work.

Hi all,
I've had exactly the same problem, even though I did not play with the authorize/deauthorize stuff. The computer's always been running iTunes and has always been authorized, the only new thing was the iPhone 8GB. What happened is that one app was updated through iTunes (though all apps downloaded over the air). After that update (+sync) none of the "uncore" apps were working.
The solution that worked for me was effectively to download a new app over the air - filling the iTunes password again - and poof, all other apps were working again.
Good luck to you all, guys and ladies !
iPhone's great apart of that slight prob. Might try to update to iTunes 8 anyway.

All apps have stopped working after syncing with itunes

Hello everyone,
Extremely frustrated to find that after plugging my iphone into my comp for the first time since i've had it (about 3 months). I knew I had a good reason for avoiding plugging my iphone into the comp, because I have 2 other ipods and hate the way itunes tries to take over and do everything. No, i'm quite happy to manual manage the files on it. Especially when irritating things like this happen.
So I plugged it in for the first time on Saturday, and guess what, now NONE of my apps work anymore. Seems to be a common problem that no one at apple cares to admit. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8294502) this old thread details the problem I am having. Now the apps start to open and close and dont work. Awesome.
I would've been more than happy to eat humble pie if i'd done ANYTHING dodgy to this iphone, but I haven't, and apples OWN device controlling application destroyed the functionality of the device, which I now have to figure out how to fix myself. Of course, apple wouldn't have any documentation on this issue.
Its sad really as up till now Ive had a flawless experience with the device and enjoyed everything about it, mostly how it works so well and everything is easy to do. Extremely irritated about this - will be telling everyone who cares about this experience.
Now, apple, or more like apples forum goers, how do i fix what itunes has done???

Three days and no response, 3 others mentionining same problem.
Apple clearly do not care about customers or have any interests in bug fixing their own software. This is clearly a widespread problem which has nothing to do with user software, the bug is in iTunes and apple dont even care to admit it or fix it. It doesn't even look like they monitor their support forums at all!
I was considering buyign a macbook. Ha ha ha. Good luck. Not anymore.
Have even called support and Apple are USELESS and I will not forget this experience, as will my friends.
My advice? Get an android phone... we all know that it will only take a month or two till google gets a much bigger app library. Hey and guess what - they'll let you maintain your phone manually if you want, and dont force you through some stupid clunky, resource intensive, bug filled program which makes everything stop working. Exactly what it did to me on first connection.

Apps stop working after sync

Hi whenever I sync my new iPad3 with iTunes my apps no longer open, the screen just goes grey briefly then goes back to the home screen, the way I've been getting around this is by installing any free app then uninstalling again and everything works fine after this but is there a way to stop this happening in the first place or am I doing something wrong?

iPhone 4, same thing. It gets stuck at Step 1: backing up

Extensions like Ghostery, WOT or AdBlock stop working after two or three times. Restarting the webpage in a new tab the extensions will work again for several times and then stop again. Has anybody an explanation or a workaround for this bug in Safari 5?

Remove the extensions, redownload Safari, reload the extensions.

ITunes has stopped working while sync photos

I have been having problems since I updated iTunes to 10.4, it keeps crashing (itunes has stopped working) while sync photos. After uninstalling and re-installing the problem still stayed. I therefore tried sync photos a batch at a time (15 photos at a time) IT WORKED but I still cannot sync my videos. I think that the problem is that this new version of itunes cannot cope with big files and therefore it crashes. I HOPE THAT APPLE WILL SORT OUT THIS PROBLEM

downgrade to itunes 10.3 as 10.4 broke this feature. if not, just unclick the include videos box and your sync should complete. here's hoping apple fixes this in itunes 10.5.

Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
Details -
4th Generation
I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
(e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
881 MB are still left
Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

I have a similar problem, but after following your suggestion of deleting my iphone backup and then turning backup back on again, I needed to plug my phone into my computer to sync the backup. I re-tried to do an icloud backup and it again told me that "the last backup could not be completed"... since I had deleted the backup, it says the "Last backup: never". Ugh. I reconnected my iPhone 4S to my computer and iTunes so I could sync my phone and do a backup... it's still "waiting for sync to start"...
For your iCloud backup, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
If you turned iCloud backup off and try to sync to create a backup on your computer and got a "waiting for sync to start" error, it may be caused by a corrupt backup on your computer. You could try deleting your last backup by opeing iTunes and going to Preferences>Devices, clicking on your last backup and clicking Delete Backup. Then try again.

Why does the ipad 2 speaker stopped working after upgrading to ios 8

WWhy does the iPad 2 speaker stopped working after upgrading to ios 8 why plz respond

Hi A_S85,
It appears your iPhone has an issue relating to sound. The following article may help you find a solution:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
Can't hear anything from the built-in speaker of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? Maybe you can hear, but the sound is distorted, muffled, intermittent. Or maybe you hear static or crackling noises. If your iOS device has any of these issues, follow these steps.
Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Bobby_D

Iphone 4 Alerts Tones Not Working / Ringer Is WORKING KINDLY REPLY ME

HI , PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT I AM GETTING PLEASE HELP
MY ISSUE IS IPHONE 4 ALERTS TONES NOT WORKING AND CALL RINGER IS WORKING.. PLEASE HELP ME!

If the iPhone came from the US then it is locked to AT&T. To unlock an iPhone the original carrier is the only one who can unlock the iPhone and AT&T will not unlock iPhones. So there is not official way to unlock the iPhone 4.
At this point there is no way to hack the iPhone 4 running 4.2.1 to unlock it either so the phone and messaging apps will never work. You basically have an iPod touch.

Caller id not working after syncing my iphone to my pc?

caller id not working after syncing my iphone to my pc?

Syncing with iTunes has nothing to do with this, especially when not syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer which very few Windows users seem to be inclined to do.
Caller ID is not working in which way?
