Did anyone have issues with losing their ringtones when updating itunes?

I lost all my ringtones when I updated my itunes. which is not good because i cant redownload them. Anyone know what happened tried to restore old backup and they didn't restore that way either.

Hi WolfStorm102,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your ringtones are missing after you performed an update to iTunes. You are correct that ringtones cannot be re-downloaded from the purchased section of the iTunes Store. In this situation, you may need to either use the report a problem link with your purchases or contact iTunes Store support. You can use the following article as a reference.

You may find the answer to your question below:
If your download was interrupted, learn how to resume the download.
See what to do if you have trouble using an app.
Make sure your computer is authorized using the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase.
Make sure your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, Mac, or PC is associated with your Apple ID.
Make sure you’re in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available.
If you’re having trouble downloading an item, make sure you can download the item again from iTunes in the Cloud. You may want to sync the content to another device instead.
If you can't find the item that you purchased in the iTunes Store, report a problem with the item. You can report a problem with a purchase made within the last 90 days.
If you have a problem with an older purchase, contact iTunes Store support.
The last two bullet points would apply to your situation with the ringtones.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Anyone have issues with the most recent iPad updates?

Since the last iPad update a few days ago, it seemed to have crashed my iPad. I was told to reset my iPad to original factory settings. After doing so, I now have no sound to all of my Facebook games. How do I complain and fix this situation?

Anyone have issues with Sata 3 SSD in the 2011 Macbook Pro

Hi Guys and Gals.
Does anyone have issues with the Macbook Pro 2011 Model with a Sata3 Solid State Drive ?
I have issues and have a Vertex3 made by OCZ. I am in active discussions with OCZ to find a resolution on their end. I have also contacted Apple Care and Intel and have run into dead ends.
However I am bringing my MBP for a repair, logic board replacement and will post the results after they change the logic board for me.
Check my thread on OCZ: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?89970-A-call-to-all-Macbo ok-Pro-2011-Users-with-SATA3-Issues
Regards,
Jase

Well, my My Genius appointment went very much as anticipated - it might well be a SATA III connection but Apple they do not support SATA III drives - least of all other people's.
Furthermore, they do not actually support anything other than the original configuration as sold - so given that I bought a 750 GB HD version, that is what I am stuck with - I asked Apple (London Regent St) if they could upgrade it to one of their own SSDs if I paid for it - they could not. They can only repair the machine to its original condition. They could not even advise me as to what Apple co-branded SSD I should look for to be compatible with this model - 512 Gb drives do come up on Ebay - Apple / Toshiba seems to be the normal one - but they couldn't advise if that would work or not. So it could be good money after bad.
Anyhow, they finally agreed to swap the cable, for a charge, so that will take two or thee days, plus the 5mins to do the job. I will post the results of the cable swap when I have it. They could not tell me whether it would be a different version of the SATA cable to the one already in the machine - but I asked to keep the old one so I can see if there is any visible difference.
It does seem strange that Apple support thunderbolt drives - which you can't even buy yet, but don't support SATA III in either Mac Pro or MAcBook Pro given that the full 3.0 standard was released on May 27, 2009.
Two and a bit years is a long time in tech terms.

I, as so many others, are also facing issues with my SATA 3 SSD. I've been reading about people having issues on OCZ's forum, on Intel's forum and all over the web. I have a MBP 2011 13" bought last month with the 6/6 setup.
Hotjase, have you come to understand that the issue lies with the logic board? One would hope that Apple would owe up and come forward if there are in fact faulty logic borards. I have read that Apple have gone from 6/3 to 6/6 and then back to 6/3, though I do not know if this is applicable to all MBP models, or just some. As I sayed, I have the 13" model.
SdeS, what was the result of your talk with the Genius? Did you receive a new cable? If so what result?

I am using Firefox 12.0. I did not have issue with hotmail, but I am facing problem this week after firefox upgrade. After entering login the page freeze. I am not able to continue.
I reviewed the thread. I am not using Foxit.
I reviewed hot mail forum. They suggest firefox upgrade causes this issue.
I tried after clearing my browser's cache and cookies. The situation remain same. Any idea?
What is the workaround?

Firefox 3.6 needs the Java Second Generation Plugin which comes with newer versions than 1.6.0_03 - update Java, the latest version is 1.6.0_22

Have you tried a reset?
Press & hold both Home & Power until you see the Apple logo.
If that doesn't fix it, restore it as new and see if that fixes it.

Did anyone have problems with the 2012 4GB Data Promotion?

I purchased a Droid RAZR on June 4th with the understanding that I would receive the 4GB upgrade on the data plan. Verizon did not and will not honor this promotion because, in their words, I manually activated the phone and the promotion was never applied to the account and there was nothing they could do. Really? Nothing? Even though I attempted activation through the device 3 times to no avail? I have documentation that I placed the order during the promo and added the promo upgrade on the order. This is totally unacceptable and I am angry & disappointed in Verizon's customer service. I have been a customer with Verizon for 10 years and never experienced anything like this.
I am curious if anyone else has had issues with Verizon not honoring this promo? Thanks.

If you have the record of the purchase, and it lists the option to add the "Double Your Data" on it, then I would just go to a Corporate Store and talk to someone there. Did you buy the phone through Verizon Online? Somewhere else?

Anyone have issues with "touch screen" not responding?

Does anyone find that the touch screen doesn't respond? I have huge issues with this style.
Touching and swiping on a screen that is 1.5 inches isn't fun. I need shade to read the screen (bad for snow), I need to go thru so much just to get to a song, a podcast, whatever that was playing before I HAD to turn off nana. I need to turn off nano each time.
1. Turn on by holding button like forever.
2. swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe to get to songs or podcast. Select, select, touch selcet, not selecting, touch, touch touch.
3. Select 'songs; selevet something else to get to a screen that says shuffle.
4. Select, select, touch, touch, use index finger, thumb, touch, breath on finger, touch again.
5. After one song plays after selecting "shuffle", it repeats, repeats,
6. Take ipod out of pocket, stand in shade, hit the snooze whatever button, to activate screen, Is screen activitated? yes? But it blinked off to quick to make selectioon of touch proof screen.
7. Walk inside to touch screen, to see screen. Hit button, wait for long time for this to start again (much like laptop starting).
8. Swipe to get to menu with songs, swipe, swipe, swipe swipe.
9. Select music: albums, artist songs. By selecting I mean touch touch touch, touch, use thumb, touch. for each selection
10. Are you sure this is an Apple product?
Can I return this POS and wait for someone to go back to what worked best??

Oh, and yes I have restored to factory settings. Then resynch.
I have done the soft reset or whatever it's called on this one.
It is updated.

Did anyone have issues trying to watch or even see the final game of the playoffs this morning on the nhl app?

Hi
I've just purchased the apple tv.
I mainly purchased it for the NHL as I was fed up watching hockey via my mac on my tv.
I am using unblock-us.
This morning I wanted to watch game 5.
I switched on the apple tv, went to the nhl app and selected todays games, it gave me the option for last nights/early this mornings game.
I selected the game, but it did nothing. It did not give me the option for the game, condensed game or highlights.
In the end I found the game via the NHL on my mac and watched it on apple tv via my mac.
I checked just an hour ago and now the three game options are available to watch via the apple tv app.
Did anyone share a simular issue?
Does anyone have any good tips for using the NHL app on Apple tv? Would be nice to know in advance for next season.
Thanks in advance.

There is most likely the issue.

Did anyone have trouble with iTunes after the recent update?

My music and playlists were wiped out. THen I tried to sync my iPhone and it tried to wipe out everything on there with the new iPhone software update.

Typically one buys an external hard drive and at regular intervals you copy the contents of your main hard drive to the external hard drive in case something happens to the contents on the internal drive. That is a backup. There is software to facilitate this, including Time Machine which is part of the system software OSX 10.5 on. If you don't have this then it's like owning a house without insurance.
An external drive costs around $100 so it is cheap given the high degree of inconvenience caused by losing the contents on your main drive. Your main drive will fail at some stage and then you lose everything, 100%.
If your library truly is gone then you will have to start over. iTunes is not supposed to erase it when updating but it does happen occasionally which is why you always make sure your backup is up to date before updating software. If your items are purchased from Apple you may be able to download them again. If it came from another source then you will have to turn to that source.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
(I'm not sure if the below is still the same with iTunes 11)
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes( iTunes11: Button at top right).
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Hi, does anyone have issues with the Camera app uploading photos to the photo album? This happens after I downloaded iOS8.1.2

I have just updated my iPhone iOS to 8.1.2. Since then, the camera is not able to upload photos to the album immediately and some are even lost. Does anyone have the same issue or know how to fix this?

I found it much easier to have my apps on the last page and let the pre-loaded apps stay where they are on the first couple of pages. While I'd prefer to have my apps first, at least they are all together. I found it far too much work to try to move them around another way, plus it shifts some things around in a way that I did not intend.
BTW, I definitely prefer the Fascinate's arrangement of the icons over the Droid X2, which is always in alphabetical order in a vertical non-stop continuum.

Did anyone have issue connecting iphone to computer

When I try to connect my iphone to the computer, it shuts my computer down. However when I connect my ipod, I don't have any problems. I called the apple solution center and they told me uninstall itunes and re-install it. I did it and still had the same problem. So they said it was my driver however, the ipod shows up so it can't be my driver.

Thanks for your suggestion.
I have uninstalled & reinstalled the webcam drivers (and other Creative software), and upgraded to the latest drivers/software for it, and unfortunately the problem is still occurring.
Does anyone have any further suggestions?

Does anyone have issues with the instrument library?

I've installed iLife 08 and then added all the jam packs. Now when I open GB the default track is an accordion (not a piano) and when adding loops to the timeline they take on a different instrument sound (e.g. drum loop sounds like raindrops, etc.)
I've searched high and low for similar problems and have found nothing that resembles this, I've cleared my preferences and repaired permissions and still nothing helps, I've contemplated reinstalling but I have no guarentee that that will help and I'm reluctant to invent the 3 hours it will take to do all that if it is all for nothing...
Bottom line is...is this really an issue with the instrument library and is there any way for me to fix this without reinstalling?

Just loaded the 6.0.2 update a few days ago. I was hoping it would fix the dropping of wifi where the 4g and 3g always kept. I have restored the router and I have even switched towers through AT&T's help, but to no avail. I still am dropped and sometimes it spins and spins looking to connect and then says, Cannot connect at this time. Sometimes it connects, and when the phone goes to sleep, it disconnects and then it is heck connecting again. I am very upset for I do not have unlimited data and my data has soared over 270 mg which I usually always kept way below 200 as being in my home most of the time. I am planning to take into AT& T store for a new one, just not happy with the wifi situation. It is sad that this cannot be fixed with an update. I saw earlier that some Iphone 5 made in China were the cuprits, and maybe I got one of those. I hope At&T and Apple are reading these dialogs. Please let me know if fixes are on the way!

Has anyone had issues with the most recent Yosemite update

I installed Yosemite October of 2014 mainly because I needed to update itunes to continue to help my daughter maintain her music files. Anyway the reason hardly matters. My computer and Yosemite did not get along. Posted up a file of my computer condition for people to look at here and the basic recommendation was to delete this that and the other thing. So I did that and the computer worked somewhat better. However I really am not sure if it was working better because Apple had been making progress with Yosemite ironing out Yosemite bugs. I had not reinstalled any of the software that it was recommended I delete back in October. So I doubt that is an issue.
Two weeks ago while updating, generally, a Yosemite update started downloading to my computer. It is now running 10.10.2.
Since then Mozilla crashes about five times a day and runs very slowly most of the time. Wondering if there is anything I can do or should I just wait it out...hope for the bestv AGAIN. I am encouraged by the fact that over time from October to mid February, Yosemite and my computer kept getting along better and batter. Since the update I am more or less back to square 1 as far as general speed and functionality and behind the eight ball as far as Miozilla goes as it is crashing constantly.
I also do not like how update files are identified in Yosemite. There are times when all you get is a notification that there are updates ready with no identification of what they are. Had I known that was a Yosemite update, I would not have touched it. What is up with this no identification of update files? Trying to ambush us now because people are beginning to avoid their updates? Good grief Apple.
Anyway....any ideas? Just wait it out? Hope Apple gets back on a path of bug fixes for Yosemite? Anybody with a quick fix for this one?

Automatically checking for updates is not the same thing as automatically installing updates and even automatically downloading updates is not the same thing as automatically installing updates. If Apple has now decided to describe them and implement them that way ....that is a mistake!
Here is what I have in my App store preferences although I repeat, I have never changed anything. What items are selected there are the items selected ions ago or defaulted in possibly with iTunes 12.0 installed and I was always in the past been given the opportunity to view any updates BEFORE They installed.
"Automatically check for updates" is checked. That should not cause an issue of any kind. If it is that is a problem not of my making!
"Download newly available updates in the background" is checked with an additional descriptive line of information that reads "you will be notified when the updates are ready to be installed" I was going to uncheck this. Although I did not ever go to this location and change my settings which leads me to believe that this is a default choice in Yosemite or iTunes 12.0 as this is not the way I am used to my updates either coming to me or being installed
"Install app updates" is checked ...Really....with permission, without permission, with notification? What the heck does this line really mean? Going to uncheck this
"Install OS X updates" IS NOT CHECKED
"Install system data files and security updates" is checked. This is another one that I am going to uncheck
"Automatically download apps purchased on other macs" is not checked
This system clearly Installed an OS X update without even asking me if I wanted it installed regardless of the fact the box is not even checked. So I have no idea how it managed to do that when the check box for OS X updates is not checked. A big OS X screen came up as the thing started installing leaving little doubt what it was at the point of being too late to do anything about it
There is an interesting element to the relationship between "Download newly available updates in the background" and "Install app updates". If you uncheck the former, a check immediately appears in the box for the latter and the box ix grayed out preventing you from making further changes. So your options are for updates to be downloaded in the background or have updates installed without prior notification. What the heck kind of a choice is that?
I am going to uncheck all of these for the time being except "automatic checking" and "Download newly available updates in the background". The former should not cause a problem and has never in the past caused a problem. Seems to me that I am forced to the latter for now. However to be perfectly honest i no longer have any idea what Apple is doing and I am not completely convinced that they know either.....not any more
I am going to go to Apple Tech Support and get full descriptions from them as it appears possible that they have changed their definitions and descriptive materials with regard to update activity either in Yosemite or iTunes.
Finally, this issue with automatic checking has nothing to do with Mozilla crashing five times a day in Yosemite. That is a separate problem and I guess I am just going to have to hope that Apple Yosemite bug fixes brings this back under control.

Has anyone had issues with the latest i-tunes update 11.1.4 on Windows Vista

I downloaded the update on 24th Jan, and when I tried to open i-tunes after that it failed to start and the message was MSVCR80.dll and the window suggested that I remove and re-install i-tunes.
I did this and then my CD/DVD drive was not recognised. I then decided to go for a system restore prior to the update. When I did this i-tunes worked again but a window opens every 30seconds saying 'Mobile device helper is not working' At one point I had 116 windows open. Has anyone else had this problem or can offer any advice please? I have an i-pod classic and my system is windows vista which is approx 8yrs old. I have never had any problem with i-tunes updates before.

Try using these directions on this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
This resolved my issue with the new update on Vista.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
