HT1386 Why won't ringtones sync to my iphone

I purchased 3 ringtones from the Apple Store and put them in my Tones library under iTunes. Now I want to sync my Tones library to my iPhone. I have tried many things but the tones are not showing up on my iPhone.

I am having the same problem this person is having. I have 3 ringtones, all purchased through itunes 2 years ago, also all synced to my old droid phone just fine. They will not sync to my iphone regardless of what I try. They do not show up under ringtones or any list in my music files. This is enormously frustrating as it worked like a charm with the droid.

I am a new iPhone 4s owner. I have a tone in iTunes that I downloaded from the web as a m4r file. Why won't it sync to my iPhone so I can set it as a ringtone.

Yes, the tone is available and checked in iTunes under the Tones library.
Yes, it is also listed under the Tones tab for my iPhone, but it is grayed out.
Yes, tones are selected under "sources" in General Preferences, along with everything else.
SyncTones was NOT selected under the Tones tab for my iPhone. I did so and it synced.
Thanks for your help!

HT1386 Why won't it sync?

My phone used to open itunes and sync as soon as i pluged it on my computer but now, it open the storage and i can't sync it what should i do ?

If the music isn't on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases back from the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. For music bought from other sites or copied from CDs then aren't they already on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them back from the iPad.

My iPod touch WILL NOT sync with iTunes. I have 6.1.3 on my touch & latest on ITunes. Why won't it sync????

What happens when you try?
Does anything sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Why won't contacts sync to iPod classic even though music and calendars do?

Why won't contacts sync to ipod classic even though music and calendars do?

I have found a way. Not elegant, but it does work.
Itunes looks for a contact list on your mac. But, if you are signed up for iCloud, it appears your contacts are actually on iCloud, not your Mac. So, you see your address book (left column) shows headings for "on my mac" and for "iCloud". If you select "on my mac", no contacts appear.
However, you can drag contacts or groups of contacts from the iCloud list to the on my mac list. They will then sync to your iPod classic.
Of course, you'll have to periodically some housecleaning as you modify the contacts that are in the cloud, but it does work.

Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1. My other phone still at 6.0.1 is detected just fine.

Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone 4 which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1. My other iPhone 4 is still at 6.0.1 and is detected just fine. Is anyone else having this problem? Everything was working ok before the upgrade and still works except for the detection. Coincidence?

After 4 updates to Xcode it started to connect again. Now it's working fine.

HT201398 Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?

Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?
I've restarted the phone and itunes several times, have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and itunes separately, and it still just shows 'Installing" under the greyed out app.

I have the same problem with an iPhone 5s. All podcast fail to work on the phone since updating to iOS 8.1.3. What is going on? Is Apple taking this problem serious?

Why cant my imessages sync across both iphone and ipad

why cant my imessages sync across both iphone and ipad same with face time

I looked into your question and believe I may have a solution for you.
Your iMessages likely aren't syncing because of a bug in iOS 5. Syncing iMessages between iOS devices is supposed to happen automatically, but sometimes it does not.
You could likely manually activate syncing by navigating to Setttings --> Messages --> Receive At --> Caller ID on both your iPad and iPhone and selecting your Apple ID.

Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?

Ting is a "MVNO", a virtual network provider; basically, they're a reseller of Sprint's cellular network, only with way, way, better pricing than basically anyone else. They don't do "contracts", and they don't charge separate fees for everything. So if you had five phones on an account, you'd pay $6/phone, plus a single fee for all the data. No $20-per-line "data plans". If I moved my current six phones (including friends and family) to Ting, I'd pay about 70% less per month for cell service... But I'd have to buy the phones up front. Which I'd do, but I have a couple people who want iPhones, and Apple-or-Sprint (it's not clear which) is not willing to let Ting do them.

Why won`t apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

Why won't apple support siri on iphone 4 ?

We are just users like you. So we can't answer that question. However, there are hundreds of posts about it, so a search of the forum might be enlightening.
The iPhone 4 is four generations out of date. Have you noticed that when any company releases a new product or version of a product it has features that previous versions did not? If it didn't then what would be the point of coming out with a new version?

Why can't I sync my new iPhone 4s with my Bose SoundLink ?.

Why can't I sync my new iPhone 4s with my Bose SoundLink ?. It synced with my iphone 3 no problem!!

I am having the exact same problem. My girlfriend and I just bought our 4s phones and no go on syncing.

Why won't my apps on my iPhone 4 update?

Why won't my apps on my iphone 4 update? If I select "update all" OR "update" for individual apps, they still won't update. I have 18 that need updating. Any advise would be appreciated.

As the iPhone 4 doesn't support iOS 8, it might be useful to establish what phone and iOS you actually have. Go to Settings>General>About. What is the model number? What is the iOS version?
What do you mean by "maps app will not load?". Do you mean the built in Maps app? What happens when you try? What troubleshooting steps have you already taken? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the apple appears?

Why won't the volume on my iPhone 5 go down

Hey cacobo,
I found an article that can help with troubleshooting an iPhone's receiver or speakers.
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Hope that helps,
David
