Help please with iphone

ok i need help with a few things!first is the ringtone feature, i have downloaded the latest itunes, and have plugged in my iphone, but i see no section for rintones, like under music, videos and tv shoes, podcast, and radio.... i have been trying to figure it out, and its driving me nuts. more issues i would like help with are;
the main problem i want to solve is this.. i had a 3rd or 4th gen ipod wayyyyy back, and i could keep the songs on my ipod and delete all the songs on my computer and jus be able to add when i wanted to, now my ipod was only ever syned from my pc, and every time i plugged it in i could play the music on there straight through itunes.now i have the iphone and im in the middle of putting all my music on there, and now i want to wipe it from my hard disk, cus my computer is running pretty slow and i jus want to free up some space.. but i cant play songs directly from my iphone as i noticed. when i check the songs on my iphone they come up grey and unclickable. can any one help me out here, i just want to keep my songs on my iphone and sync (add or delete) new stuff when i want to, and therefore freeing up some space on my computer. another problem i fogort to list/ask about, is does the iphone support MMS? because i dont see the point in having a camera on a phone if u cant send it to other mobile phones wow, looks like a got a few probs. if any can solve any of the problems there i will be forever grateful. thanks

First, in iTunes.
Edit => Preferences.
Check on Ringtones option (to see it in menu)
To get ringtones you either have to buy them from iTunes store (seperate purchase after buying song). They appear with little bells next to them (songs that are eligible for ringtones)
Other than that, you can make them in Garage band if you own a Mac.
For windows users there is a way, but requires a little work.
There are many threads here about how to make ringtones. Use search. They have been discussed over and over at length.
Use manually manage music if you want to control easier what is on your iPhone.
Also you can play via iPhone to iTunes. Many do this at work places. You can play while they are greyed out. They are only grey so you cannot mess with them (move, edit, etc).

    Hi, can someone help please - my iPhone hasn't been backed up since early August, now I can't seem to get it to back up to iCloud. I have 9GB of space, I have left it plugged in etc for 11hrs, but keep getting the same message " iPhone backup could not be completed" -what dies that mean.?

    Hi,
    I was facing issues with both backup and FB integration after the iOs 6 upgrade.  Before then I did not have any issues with the iCloud backup service, but after a few days, I noticed that it was continually stuck at the Estimating time for the backup and it never progressed.
    As any good techie would, I tackled the most pressing issue first . . . FB integration of course.
    I had read in a separate post about this solution so tried it . . .
    I deleted the original FB app and hard booted the phone.  I then went into settings and entered the data for FB integration.  Seconds later, I received a text message to my phone - already listed and verified in FB with a 6 digit code to re-enter instead of my password.  Seconds later I was verified and then prompted to download the FB app.  All backup and integrated.
    Then I went into the iCloud backup, turned it off . . . and deleted the last backup.  I then re-enabled backup . . . and although I thought I was going to face the same issue, after a few minutes, it moved on from Estimating time . . . to actually backing up.  It is now a small way through the backup and seems to estimate that it will take another two hours to complete.
    A good nights work.  Backup and integration all sewed up.  Good luck.
    Cheers
    Ian

  • I'm in syria and they blocked me from using any VPN service please help without VPN i can't open the store help please ( using iphone 5 version 9.1.4 )

    I'm in syria and they blocked me from using any VPN service please help without VPN i can't open the store help please ( using iphone 5 version 9.1.4 )

    There is nothing that anyone here on a user forum can do to help you.  If it is a local issue in Syria, then you need to take it up with your phone company or authorities there who have prevented you from using VPN.
    Nobody here can help you.

  • Help please. Iphone was Backed up yesterday. But today's didn't finish. Now, I have a file but it will not allow a restore from said file. And yesterday's is gone. What the hello do I do?

    Help please. Iphone was Backed up yesterday. But today's backup didn't finish. Now, I have a file (marked today) but it will not allow a restore from said file. And yesterday's is gone. What the hello do I do? IS there anyway to get my sms back post restore/update?

    The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
    To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

  • Help please with FaceTime. The built in app seems to have disappeared from my iPad2. Bought it in Australia

    Help please with FaceTime. My built in app seems to have disappeared.

    If K Penguin's suggestion doesnt work, you will have to go to you iTunes and do a reset, that is if you do not have it in your back up library.

  • Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, for tv hook up.

    Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, to hook up to tv for streaming. The display works through VGA but the audio isn't working. Got a plug that goes into headphone jack on computer and connects into the audio jack on the back of tv but no sound. I'm not quite sure what the issue is, whether its the wrong plug, the tv, or the computer. Best Buy says this is the right plug and it seems that it would be, but who knows. If anyone has any experience in this, I would appreciate the help!

    Make sure those audio plugs are matched with the VGA plug. With your MacBook running something with audio switch between your sources on the TV Component, Composite and such. See if the sound is coming from another source. If so then you've got your audio plugs in the wrong jacks.
    Also could you post the make and model number of your TV.

  • Help Please With iPod Player On My 3GS

    Hello, Could anyone help me with a problem with my iPod part of my iPhone 3GS. The iPod will start to play my desired Playlist, but during the playback, the track album covers forget the last played track and franticly search for it. The album covers can rotate for ever and eventually lock the phone up and steel the album cover images at random. I have to then re-sync with iTunes to get them back. My last 3G phone did the same thing and I had it replaced, but still the same with the new 3G. Now I have a new 3GS, so the problem must be in iTunes Folder. I have a lot of tracks & platlists so I don't want to rush to reformat iTunes. Any ideas please? Jeff

    I'm having the same issue - did you ever find a solution?

  • Need Help Please with Flash Professional - No Cursor Change on Buttons/Links in Mac OS

    Hi Folks, I am relatively new to Flash Professional but I recently built a very nice flash website with very little problems.  I noticed after I uploaded my site to my server, that my mouse cursor did not change from an arrow to a finger on any of my buttons.  It did change on the hyperlinks, but not on the buttons.  Everything still worked fine but there was no indication to the user that an object was in fact an interactive button.  I found this code:  button1.buttonMode = true; button1.useHandCursor = true; and inserted it for all my buttons and that seemed to fix everything, I tested the site on firefox, ie, and safari.  I am using a PC with windows 7.  When I went to check the website on a Mac powerbook, the cursor did not change on any of the buttons and it does not change on any of my hyperlinks either.  I have searched all over trying to find a solution and have had no luck.  Can anyone please help me with this problem or point me in the right direction?  Any advice would be very much appreciated.  Thanks so much!!!

    Thank you so much for replying!  I did in fact let flash professional create the HTML page for the site and have not altered it at all.  Would you have any other suggestions as to why it's not displaying my links/buttons on a Mac?  I checked out the browsers Firefox, ie, and safari on my pc, but looking thru safari on the Mac, the cursor does not change on any of my links or buttons.  Thanks again so much for the reply, nice to hear from a human instead of reading thousands of posts!  Very much appreciated!!!!!

  • Help please with my navigation buttons

    Can anyone please help me with my vertical navigation buttons. I'm trying to set up my nav bar so that all the buttons have a background image (button.jpg) behind them at all times and the only thing that changes when touched or the mouse rolls over them is that the colour of the text changes, except when the sub buttons appear, because the name of some of the sub buttons are so long i have created another button image that is longer (button2.jpg), i only want this to appear on sub buttons otherwise the buttons will end up taking most of the pages space. I'm having great difficulties getting the sub buttons to appear with the correct image (button2.jpg) and am getting increasingly frustrated with it, can anyone please help!!!
    www.milesfunerals.com/index2.html

    index2.html is a broken link for sure. The main index page looks like it's working fine.
    A little styling critique if it's okay... Personally I'd have gone with a CSS or Javascript multi-level menu across the bottom of the header. Saves visitors from having to scroll all the way down the page to see every menu item. And I'd rethink the color of the "Miles & Daughters" in the header image. It kinda gets lost in the roses.
    If you have a link to the "broken" page please put it up so we can analyze it.

  • Urgent help please with MIDI pedal

    I just got an old awesome midi pedal called the X-15 Ultrafoot.
    The pedal has two expression pedals, and 10 pushbuttons/pads. (and two buttons to cycle through additional banks, and a "mode" and "bypass" button)
    Somebody please help I am on the verge to having amazing control.
    What I want to do is have each pushbutton be assigned to a parameter, which is easy to program. Then I want to make the expression pedal(s) also be assigned to that last selected parameter. How do I do this?
    How can I make the expression pedals control over the parameter remain exclusive to just the last selected parameter?!
    Somebody save me please thanks

  • Help please, with port forwarding settings

    I have an MSI RG60 wireless router (Ethernet hard wired to my XP Home PC) and don't know what settings to use for port forwarding, to enable my WinMX and BitTorrent clients to work successfully.
    I have the port numbers, and assume that this information goes in the Service Port box, i.e. 6699, or 6881-6889.
    I know which ports are TCP and which are UDP, but I don't know what IP address to enter or which Common Service Port type to choose. Can anyone help please?
    I'm pretty sure that other settings in my PC are OK as I have successfully been running a Belkin router for a couple of years, and have only replaced it with the new MSI unit due to reliability problems.

    It does indeed have port triggering, but it wants incoming and trigger port protocol info, along with trigger and incoming port numbers.
    How can I type ipconfig into either of teh clients...WinMx or Bit Torrent?
