Cannot get ringtones to appear on new iPhone 5
I have four ringtones that I purchases which display on my Mac iTunes under "Tones" and they are all checked in their checkboxes. My new iPhone 5 was loaded via iCloud from the beginning. But under "Sounds" setting my ringtones do not appear. I've looked everywhere. If I try to use my Mac to sync it now, I can't because then it will erase my iPhone and I'd have to start over from scratch. My iTunes is a very old back-up, I've been using iCound to sync ever since we had the ability to do so.....
So, my question is....HOW do I get my purchased ringtones to disaply on my iPhone without hooking it up to iTunes ?????????
You can't. At the present time, purchased ringtones cannot be downloaded from iCloud. The only way to get them back on your phone without syncing would be to repurchase them.
BTW, there is a way to sync your phone to a "new" computer/iTunes library without losing any (or little) data by carefully following this user tip: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive. Be sure you are using iTunes 10.7 or later. If you're using iTunes 11, first go to View>Show Sidebar in order to follow this guide.

As stated no matter how hard i try i CANNOT get apps to appear in my sidebar library menu so i can update them through itunes.Has only happened since last update of itunes .Really wish i hadn't updated as i have never had an issue b4.Spent most of day on fone to apple yesterday as the update created an issue that meant i could not sync at all.Anyway thanks to 'james' in arizona we sorted the first piece of trouble the update created .(sortof).
Not sure why it has to be messed with.Well i spose it is progress!!!
I've looked at lots of posts re this and tried all the suggestions but just cannot get the magic 'apps' category to appear in my sidebar in itunes???
One suggestion was that the apps if clicked on would have an 'update ' button but all i can do is delete them
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
(running osx 10.7.5 on MBP -slightly tricky cos i also run windows in a 'bootcamped' partition.Mind u itunes etc is in mac partition and has been working fine for the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!)I'm going to assume that you use only one Apple ID so the two things that I can think of are to quite all processes and restart all devices and then try to sync those apps again. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
The other thing would be to try to reset your iTunes account by signing in and out of the account on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account and try again. -
My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one. i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone. any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you. -
Cannot get ringtones to work on incoming calls
I cannot get ringtons on incoming calls to work on my new IPhone.
Have I overlooked a mute button, because I have no sound except when I try different ringtones?I have tried that, but still no sound except when I choose tone. When I test by calling nothing.
I only bought phone a few days ago, and wondering if I have defective phone. Everything works except sound effects such as ringtones and keyboard sound. -
HT1766 getting a welcome to your new iphone message when I try to back up an old phone
Hi,
My iPhone stopped working earlier this year and I got it replaced with a new one at the Apple store. I haven't backed it up since. So, I'm trying to back up from my iTunes now and it gives me two options: 1) Set up as new iPhone, and 2) Restore from this backup (MY NAME iPhone). The second option says last backed up 2/20/12. Thing is, I don't remember ever backing up this iPhone. More importantly, I've taken many pictures and added many phone numbers since 2/20/12 and am afraid restoring will erase this.
I've never been a savvy iPhone user so hopefully someone can help advise me on how best to proceed.djfl wrote:
I have a very similar problem. I have an iPhone 4 running an old iOS 4.2.1. I very recently upgraded to iTunes 11. I am not sure which version of iTunes I was running before, but it probably was not the most recent. I did not sync or do a backup, before upgrading to iTunes 11. After upgrading to iTunes 11, when I plug in my iPhone 4, I get a "Welcome to your New iPhone" screen. I only am presented with two options. 1.) Set up as new iPhone, or 2.) Restore from this backup: Unknown. Last Backed Up: 12/31/2000 7:00PM. There is a radio button to choose either option, and a Continue button. I am afraid to choose either option, because I'm afraid it will wipe my iPhone 4 clean.
It's odd because I don't think they even made iPhones in 2000. So, I'm not sure where this unknown backup from December 2000 is coming form. Also, I am pretty sure I did not sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes, nor did I do a back up of my iPhone in iTunes, before upgrading to iTunes 11.
Now, there is not too much on my iPhone 4 I'm concerned about saving. I did manage to pull off all the photos using Windows Vista Autoplay. But, there are quite a few contacts on my iPhone that I would like to save. And I have some newer Apps that I would like to save.... these apps were free, but some of them are no longer available in the App Store.
Some other info.... after updgrading to iTunes 11, iTunes does show 50 Apps in the library. These appear to be apps from some much earlier sync prior to upgrading to iTunes 11.
My problem is I sync very rarely.... I also update my iOS very rarely.... and I also update the iTunes software very rarely. I got to a point where some newer apps I wanted would only run on a newer iOS. But it seems I got to a point where I could also no longer update my iOS without updating the iTunes version. So, my plan was to update to iTunes 11 (which I did), then update my iPhone iOS (which I haven't been able to accomplish yet), because I want to sync my iPhone with the new iTunes 11, to be able to get off my contacts and newer apps. But I can't to that because iTunes 11 will only show me the "Welome to Your New iPhone" screen.
Again, I'd like to get my contacts and newer apps off the phone into iTunes. If I then have to wipe the iPhone clean and restore, that would be OK.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CanNOT get my itunes movies onto my iPhone...
I've tried every conceivable sync. These are not rentals but purchased TV shows.
What happened was - I am leaving on a business trip so with the iphone all synced up - I attached it to my laptop and synced so I would have the tv shows on the laptop - I only have 3 out of my 5 authorized copies at this point.
I had a weird die on my iPhone and then since my restore - I have it on my laptop and my desktop but no matter what I try I cannot get the movies back on my iPhone - go into the setting select all and selected episodes but nothing works.
Any suggestions? In a few hours I'll only have my laptop.
thanks!igrok-mac
Quote Is your free movie a tv show? Under the TV shows section is the Movies section, which is where yours would appear if it were a movie. There's no setting for "sync selected" there, you just check off the ones you do want to sync.
/Quote
The free movie is a free movie found under iTunes home page under movies, at the end there is a short list of free movies, I chose one for a test. It is not a TV Show.
Quote
On the left panel, where your phone is listed, up at the top for your library, if you click on movies, does your movie show up there?
/Quote
Yes, on the left panel, at the top of the library under the heading [ Movies ], when I click, I get a full page showing movies chosen. There is only one movie there, it is the one I selected. Using left button on the movie to get info, I get.

As stated, I was required to change a password, yet the old password still appeared in the field, so I went into settings and deleted the old one, but now I cannot get Firefox to save the new password. And yes, I have wasted a lot of time attempting the "solutions" on the help sites, but nothing has worked. Thank you for any help.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving form data like name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.

Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list. -
I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help.
Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Is there any way to get my reminders (from the new iPhone app) to sync with something on my laptop (Mail, iCal, some other desktop app)?
Yes, if you have iCloud set up on your phone and computer, then reminders will be synced through iCal.

I have Lightroom 1.4.1 and I just started shooting the Nikon D700. I cannot get Lightroom to read my new raw files, help... Is there a plug in or update I can get? I can't afford new software after new camera and new lense!
Lightroom 1.4.1 does not support native (NEF) files from the D700 because the camera didn't even exist when it was released. To get support you have two options: upgrade to Lr 2.x (paid for upgrade) or convert your NEF files to DNG.
DNG converter 5.4 can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ (see right hand side of page) -
