Custom Ringtones Will Not Sync to iPhone 4s with Latest iOS

I have been using a custome ringtone on my iPhone 4s for about a year and a half now without an issue.  Today, I went to add another and when I went to sync it to the phone, It showed up in iTunes (under the device) grayed out, with a dotted circle next to it and it does not show up in the phone.  Just to try something, I deleted my original ringtone and the new one from iTunes, then imported them both back into the library.  I tried to sync again and neither show up in iTunes, under the device nor the phone.
What can I do to fix this?

More information...
In order for me to get this to do anything at all, I had to drag the file from the Tones folder in the Library to the phone.  I just did this with both of my ringtones and my original is now back on the phone, but the new one is still grayed out in iTunes in the Tones folder under the device with the dotted circle next to it.
HELP!!!

  • HT1688 ringtone will not sync to iphone 5

    Can anyone please help me?? I got my iphone 5 yesterday and I have been trying to sync my ringtones from my iphone 4 to my new phone but its not happening. everything else has been synced just not the ringtones. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you to fix it? I resynced from my computer and from icloud with out avail. Please help cause I am getting super fustrated!!

    how did you make it? did you make AAC version of 30 seconds etc. etc.?
    or did you go through garageband? from the looks of it, the AAC version because you're on windows vista...
    the AAC approach does not work for store bought music, but the garageband approach does. if you have access to garageband, a google search can help you with the specifics.

  • Ringtones will not sync after Iphone 4 to 5 upgrade

    I just upgraded my Iphone 4 to a 5. Everything migrated fine except the ringtones. If I look in my Itunes in myTones folder the tones listed but they are not in the folder  but I have the tones in my Itunes library. Does this have to do with the file extension as I notice If I go to drag one of the tones from the music library to the tones folder in ITunes it does not allow me to .
    Any help here?

    Ann154, true!
    To the OP, I gave you your two options (not including paying full price) in my first post.  I'm sure that there are other creative options (ask for someone to buy it for you, wait and buy it on ebay), but these are too far out of the box to be realistic in the near future.

  • Ringtone will not sync to iphone...

    I bought the song from the itunes store myself and made the ringtone, but whenever I try to sync it to my phone it says that I am not authorized to use it...?

  • I have the new iPhone 4s.  I'm using cloud.  I try to sync my playlists to my phone an it either erases them completely or keeps saying it cannot move all music files over?  Please help.  Also my purchased ringtones will not sync up as well.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

  • My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone.  Why?  It used to.

    My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone.  Why?  It used to.

    Then you may have to try manually resetting the syncservices folder by following Julian Write's post (from https://discussions.apple.com/message/9274781#9274781):
    Ok, as you can't reset SyncServices in the "normal" way, you'll have to resort to the "other" way:
    Although it's not advised to do so in normal circumstances, you'll need to manually delete the SyncServices folder.
    Before doing so, you MUST make a backup of both your Contacts and Calendars:
    In Address Book, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
    In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
    Then, make a backup of the SyncServices folder located at:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    By backing everything up first, you don't risk losing anything.
    Finally delete the aforementioned SyncServices folder and restart the Mac. This will force Mac OS X to recreate the SyncServices folder, and hopefully fix your problem.
    I believe in Snow Leopard you can back up your calendar in File>Export>iCal Archive rather than File>Back up iCal as posted above.

  • When I plug in my iPhone to my iMac my computer flashes a box that says my USB device is drawing too much power from my computer and claims one or more of my devices have been disabled.  Then it will not sync my iPhone.  Any solution ideas?

    When I plug in my iPhone to my iMac my computer flashes a box that says my USB device is drawing too much power from my computer and claims one or more of my devices have been disabled.  Then it will not sync my iPhone 5.  Any solution ideas?

    Try unplugging any other USB devices. If you are using a hub, don't, connect the phone directly to a computer USB port.
    None of these are necessarily things you should do, but might help. For instance, if you plug the phone to an already busy hub, the phone might be "the straw that broke the camel's back" and lock out the hub.

  • Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone.  Any ideas on resolving this?

    Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone.  Any ideas to resolve this issue?

    Similar issue:
    I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
    I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
    In case it of any use here are the tracks:
    Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
    Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
    Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

  • I can not sync my iPhone 4s with newest iTunes 11.0. What's the solution for that??? Thanks.

    Hi Guys,
    Please somebody help me. I can not sync my iPhone 4S with the newest itunes 11.0. I do not know why it is not working.when I start to do the backup copies,its not respondible at all. if I skip the backup,nothing happens,it is not sync any music or video to my iPhone 4S. I hate that,because 10.6 was working properly with my device,but this one is not. so please give me some instruction,what I should do.
    Thank you in anticipation.

    Hello, Jose. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If your MacBook Pro has an Intel processor and at least 1gb or RAM, you can upgrade your machine to the minimum operating system requirements for use with iTunes 11.

  • I have just updated my iPhone 4 with latest IOS 7 and now wi fi greyed out and Bluetooth not working. Tried reset, restore everything - no use. Its out of warranty too. I refuse to pay for a new phone when clearly this is an apple issue not phone issue.

    Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • Ringtone will not sync

    I bought and created a ringtone in itunes. I have authorized my powerbook to play the ringtone, and if I click to play it in iTunes it plays as it should. It shows in the list of ringtones and I have selected all ringtones to be synced to my iPhone. However, when I sync, the ringtone does not sync. I get no error message or other information. I have tried it with a second ringtone I created and neither one will sync.

  • Garage Band Ringtones will not sync

    I have created two ringtones with Garage Band. I used the share menu to send them to iTunes. They show up in iTunes and play OK. They will not sync to my iPhone 5 however. Sync ringtones is checked in iTunes for the phone. Looking at "on this phone" under Tones, both are there but have the "to be downloaded" dashed circle on the left hand side. I have tried syncing with "All ringtones" and "Selected ringtones". Any suggestions would be appreciated.
