Drag and drop ringtones iphone 4s

I have an iPhone 4s and am using an authorized computer with windows 7. Is it possible to drag and drop ringtones from this computer onto my iPhone, perhaps I am missing something but it seems like manual loading should be possible, yet every time I try I get the red circle with the line through it icon. Anyone else having this problem.

I think im having the same problem.
i just updated to Itunes 10.6.1 and then wanted to update my phone with some new music.
I go to drag and drop one song into my music under devices and i get the black circle with a line through it. Help!

DRag and drop to iPhone etc faulty Itunes 10.6.1

I've just realised why my Iphone only had a few songs on it and its VERY frustrating.
Prior to this update I could drag an album into my iPhone then drag another and it woud simply add those songs to the list being loaded.
Not anymore!
Now iTunes stops loading the first album, thiknks for a bit and loads the second drag. Utterly useless!
I usually drag a selection of purchased and other songs in every couple of weeks for my daily commutes with this 'new' setup it would take a week to drag in a playlist coz I have to wait for every album!
Help!

Can't Drag and Drop to iPhone using iTunes 10.7.0.21

I cant manually drag and drop my video files to my iPhone using iTunes. When I click on my device and go to summary and check "Manually manage music and videos" and click apply I get a message saying " The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with another library?"
" An iPhone can be synced with only ones iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents, of this phone with the contents of this iTunes library"
My options are to erase and sync or cancel. I do not want to erase the contents of my iPhone can anyone help?

To recap... here is a fuller version of my advice on "how to move a library from one computer to another."
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
As I said in the other thread if you want to be certain of attracting my attention simply post into either of these threads to which I've already posted. These come to the top my active list whenever a new post is added to the thread. Otherwise I keep a general lookout across a number of forums for the threads where I think I can help, but I don't get to read everything...

No drag and drop to iPhone?

So I purchased my iphone recently, and set it up, but for some reason I have to sync playlists every time I want to change the songs on my iphone? what happened to drag and drop, and delete? Is there something I am missing here?

Sounds as if you didn't really try Randy's suggestion based upon your response. Try it, I think you'll like it, and as a matter of fact, once you figure out the best way to deal with the playlist, I suspect you'll like it just as much if not more than the old way. By the way, you ARE syncing when you drag and drop, it just gets initiated right when you drop the song and in the playlist case, you can wait to sync at the end so your itunes doesn't get sluggish.
As far as the password is concerned, you HAD to have set that up originally, otherwise you wouldn't get email. When you restore, they wipe out the passwords for security purposes. Just go back into the settings for mail and put your password back in there.

I thought itunes 7.6 allows allows drag and drop to iphone

So I was reading a few sites and they stated that itunes 7.6 now allows iphone users to drag and drop movies + music. Basically allows you to manually manage your stuff without having to go through the whole "synch" thing.
But for the life of me i can't figure out how to do this. I have 7.6 but i can't drag or drop anything into my iphone. What am i missing

"It does allow it.
On the main iPhone screen in iTunes there is a tick box in the Options section to manually manage music/videos"
I must be blind because I see no options section. I opened iTunes on my computer, main iPhone screen, no options section. I tried opening iTunes on my iPhone in case that is what you meant, but I see no options section there either. I know this is probably so simple and I'm being simple minded by not seeing it, but I don't!!! Can any one walk me through it like I'm braindead?

Can't drag and drop apps and ringtones from itunes into the iphone.

I'm sure it's something that I have to enable in itunes or the iphone, but I can't seem to drag and drop my apps or ringtones from itunes. This started when I got a replacement phone from my provider. I can't transfer them on my itunes. I get a block icon when I try to drag and drop. So the only way to get all the apps back is by re-downloading on the phone itself, but some apps are huge and I wouldn't want to do that. All the apps I backed up and even new ones I purchased can't seem to transfer. I tried deauthorizing and authorizing, re-downloading apps, syncing. So far nothing. Any tips?

Thanks for trying but your answer is incorrect, according to an email I received today from HP Connected:
"I have reviewed your email. I understand that you have questions related to rearranging the order of the apps on the printer. I know this can be frustrating, and I want you to know you're certainly valuable to us and I want to do everything possible to ensure your complete satisfaction. The following information should provide the answers you need:
1) Unfortunately when HP launched the new website (www.hpconnected.com) they did not include a method of rearranging the apps on the printer. They may include this feature in a future update, however as this time it is not available.
2) If you have made the upgrade from eprintcenter to HP Connected you do not have the option of returning. Eprintcenter is in the process of being eliminated and unfortunately retuning to the old site is not possible."
I hope <<S-O-O-N>> HP fixes this new website -- it's crazy to take away any controls like this from their customers and not either embellish them or at least leave them be.
I may take this 7610 OJ back for a new Brother 11x17 all-in-one --- they look nice )

I can't seem to drag and drop my ringtones from my tones library to the tones section on my iphone 5. Does anyone know why or what I can do?

I created some ringtones and managed to get them into the tones section of my library on itunes. I can see and play them. However, when I try to drag and drop them into the tones library on my iphone it will let me drag them but not drop them in. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

I just got an iphone 5c and downloaded ringtone maker and made a 30 second 4r ringtone and when I try to drag and drop in the tones folder of itunes nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I just got an iphone 5c and downloaded ringtone maker and made a 30 second 4r ringtone and when I try to drag and drop it in the tones folder of itunes nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

If the file is a correctly formatted AAC file with the .m4r file extension and less than 40 seconds long, then iTunes should put it into the Tones section of the library and move it into the Tones folder inside your media folder.
I've just checked the current version of iTunes behaves as I've desribed, which it does for me at least.
You may need to have some tones in your library for the tones tab to display when the device is connected.

Hey khdewey,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod touch being recognized in iTunes on your Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

1. Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
2. Install software updates on your Mac.

Unable to move ringtone or music by drag and drop and other ways.

Hello,
I recently got a new computer and its Windows 7. I downloaded iTunes, the newest version (11.1.4.62), on 1/31/2014. On my previous computer I had older version of iTunes and was able to simply drag and drop everything.
In this new version I found trouble with adding music but I figured that out. Next I wanted to add a ringtone but I was having trouble. I was able to add the ringtone to itunes-Library-Tones (format m4r) but after this I am unable to add it to devices-tones. I tried drag and drop, I tried sync and it simply wont work. If i try to drag and drop a song straight to my devices it wont allow that either. I am even unable to delete any songs that I have on my iphone through iTunes. I also had voice memos on m phone and I cant even edit that section or voice memos.
Someone please help! this is very frustrating that I can't remove, add, edit my iphone through iTunes.

After Effects CS4 is not supported on that version of Mac OS. See the system requirements for After Effects CS4:

Can't sync tunes from windows to my iPhone, can't even drag and drop. Very frustrating! Any ideas?

I can't sync my music or ringtones from my iTunes account to my iPhone. I can't even drag and drop songs! Won't let me update apps, without purchasing them again! Very frustrating! Help!

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, put it into iTunes Library and convert it to an .mp3. How do I get the voice memos from my phone? I can't seem to move them out of the Devices folder, no matter how much I try to copy and paste or drag and drop

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, turn it into and .mp3, and email it. My iPhone shows up under "Devices" in my iTunes but doesn't allow me to move the voice memo files I see sitting there into my Library no matter how much copying and pasting or dragging and dropping I try to do.
Also, I need to convert the file to an .mp3.
How come no voice memo files show up when I go into my iPhone via My Computer? All it shows are the videos and pictures in the DCIM folder, but not the voice memos. Is there another way to access the voice memos other than through iTunes?

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

No longer able to drag and drop files to an iPhone in iTunes.

I accidentally unplugged my iPhone 3G before it was finished syncing in iTunes and I lost all of music, playlist, podcasts, etc. I had copied to it. The problem I am now having is that I can no longer drag and drop anything to my iPhone in the Devices list. The only way that I can now get files onto it is by syncing with my existing play lists, etc from iTunes. I can't even select it in the Devices list and create a new playlist on it by clicking the new playlist button at the bottom. I really liked the option to just drag whatever I wanted onto it. It's really a pain now. It does sync properly, so thankfully that works.
Does anyone know why I know why I'm no longer able to drag and drop music, etc. to an iPhone in iTunes.
Thanks

Man, I can't believe it...that was the fix. I had it checked previously, obviously because that's how I was doing it before. Don't know how it got unchecked, but that IS the solution. I thought something bad had happened and wasn't thinking clearly – feel like an idiot now.
THANKS for you help.
