HELP! My ringtones won't show up under the "Ringtones" tab

Hi there,
I just got my iPhone a few weeks ago and recently made some custom ringtones using the Myxer app. The finished ringtones were emailed to me in m4r format, which I then downloaded and dragged into iTunes. I enabled the "Ringtones" folder to appear in iTunes by changing my preferences, but when I drag the m4r files into iTunes, they still do not appear under "Ringtones." I tried moving the files from iTunes onto the desktop, deleting them in iTunes, and then dragging them back in, but that still didn't work. When I click "Get Info" for the files, it says "Ringtone," so I can't imagine why it wouldn't appear under the "Ringtones" folder.
Please help! I really want to figure out how to get these synced onto my iPhone, but I obviously can't if they won't go into the "Ringtones" folder in iTunes or on my iPhone.
Thanks

This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
so if you're on a mac:
1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
     Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
     if it's already short enough that's fine
2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
     a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
     still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
Hopefully this helps someone else.

    Motion 5 and Final Cut X aren't updating or showing up under the 'Purchased' Tab. What do I do?
    I am running OS X Mountain Lion on a 13-inch MacBook Pro Mid 2010 model.
    Thanks.

    Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
    This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
    I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
    It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
    I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again.

  • -What is Przycisk aplikacji showing up under the tools tab?

    Under the tools drop down I found this: Przycisk aplikacji . The arror allows you to create a new button.
    A web search suggests that might be Polish that has something to do with Windows (or maybe FireFox?) in that language.
    haven't figureout how to get rid of it-or get it back to an English tool that I can understand.
    My OS is Win7 x 64, FireFox is 36.0.1.
    I don't check the tools very often, not sure when this showed up. And my language is English with a little bit of Spanish.
    Kraken8

    Google translate: Przycisk aplikacji -> application button
    So it looks that the extension either doesn't recognize your locale and fall back to Polish entity names or something else goes wrong.
    What is your Windows locale?

  • Why is an artist not showing in under the Artists tab on my ipod yet I can choose individual songs on the Songs tab

    I would like to listen to my entire Alice in Chains playlist. When I go to the Artists tab to find them, Alice in Chains does not appear. However, if I look for a specific song by them using the Songs tab, I can find each song individually. I am not sure of this is happening with other artists as well, this is the only one I have noticed so far. Not having the search function on this new ipod model is a huge detriment to its functionality, otherwise I could have just searched for Alice in Chains to find their playlist.
    As a note: I believe it is something to do with the ipod itself because I have the same songs synched to my Gen 5 ipod and I have no problem pulling Alice in Chains up as an Artist.
    Thank you for the help!

    Make sure the songs have Artist and album info in the ID tags.

  • Full page slide show won't show elements under the object

    I created a master page with several elements.  I then went to the "home" page and added a full page slide show.  It is on top and nothing can be seen but the slide show.  I have selected the element and did an object move to back but still nothing shows.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi
    Please go to master page and then in layers panel create a layer and drag the content you want to show on top of all pages wherever the master is applied.
    Thanks,

  • Ringtone won't show up in 'Tones' tab?

    I created a ringtone on the Myxer app and followed the app's instructions on how to add the ringtone to my desktop on my computer.  I have done this many times before and never had a problem.  When the ringtone is on my desktop, it is in the m4r format.  I go to 'Tones', 'File', 'Add To Library' and select the tone I want, but it does not show up with my other ringtones.  The ringtone will show up with all of my music instead.  I looked at the information of my ringtone and it says that the file format and kind is a ringtone, so I am confused as to why it won't show up with my others?  I am doing everything the same as I have done before.  I also tried adding the ringtone to 'Tones' by double-clicking the ringtone on my desktop and by clicking and dragging it to 'Tones', but it will still show up in 'Music'.

  • I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

    I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

    When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app?  Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category.  If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes.  To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again. 
    I hope this helps!
