HT1491 Wait a minute... all the ringtones I purchased through iTunes cannot be used on my iPhone?

I have downloaded a number of ringtones through iTunes and now I am synching my iPhone.
Is it true that ringtones purchased on a PC cannot be transfered to an iPhone via iTunes???
That seems rediculous.
Is there a way to get around this - or can you at least post a warning so others don't waste so much money???

Thanks Tonefox!
It took me forever to get the "Tones" option to show up in my menu along the left side of iTunes.
(Under main menu in iTunes, hit "Edit", the "Preferences" and under "General", make sure "Tones" is checked).
Now there are no songs or tones in the "Tones" folder - even though I have a number of ringtones that should be there.
I tried changing the file type to mpr, deleting and reloading....
Finally I bought an App called "Ringtone" for 99 cents. I can play any song on my iPhone, then it converts it into a ringtone. I then have to email it to myself, and open it up on my PC.
It finally appears under "Tones" in iTunes on my PC.
All becasuse I wanted to assign a silent ringtone to a telemarketer that won't leave me alone (AT&T will block numbers for a monthly fee I wasn't willing to pay).
Whew!

TS1420 I updated my ipod to 5.1.1 and now it wont sync downloaded music onto my ipod. All the music I purchased through itunes went on the ipod during backup restore and my downloaded music went into my itunes library but won't sync onto my ipod.

I updated my ipod touch to 5.1.1 and did a system restore. All of my purchased music from itunes went back on along with photos and apps but now it won't let me sync music that I downloaded. All of my music that was imported from cd's synced but not my downloaded music from internet. They went into my itunes library but they are a light gray and have a little sync symbol next to them. I've tried dragging them into different folders but nothing is working. I read that others were having problems with this update but didn't get any answers.

After you have updated your device to version 5.1.1, have you tried resyncing everything from your iTunes yet?

I updated my iPhone 4s with the ios 7.0.6 software and lost all my ringtones I purchased through Itunes. How do I get them back?

Did you fail to save them to your computer before updating?
If so, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking them to allow a redownload.

Use a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac.

HT201272 Will Apple give me all the music I purchased from iTunes for my new computer?

My computer crashed so I bought a new one but my entire music library is gone. And to make matters worse it didn't back up on my external hard drive so I would like to get all the music I purchased from iTunes back on to my new computer. My only thought is I am at the mercy of Apple to get it...am I right? Thank you

Whether or not you'll be able to depends on what country you're in, and whether the music is still available in the iTunes Store.

HT4539 I want to download all the music I purchased through my iphone and computer from the first date i had iphone to date, and keep it in both my computer and iphone.

Need help, I want to download all the music I purchased through my iphone and computer from the first date i had iphone to date, and keep it in both my computer and iphone.

You cannot synch the other way, with the exception of songs purchased on iTunes.
What you need to do is move the iTunes library from the computer to which you've been synching your phone and put it on your new MacBook.

Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
Thanks.

I had to get a new iphone and i couldn't back it up first, So im trying to redownload the music and ringtones i've bought off of itunes. I found under purchased my songs how can i redownload all the ringtones i bought off itunes?

I had to get a new iphone and i couldn't back it up first so im trying to redownload all of the songs and ringtones i purchased i found my songs but how can i redownload all the ringtones i have already purchased.

Apps can be re-downloaded for free (instrutions here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Media (musiv, films, tv, tv shows) can only be downloaded once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backups of your content, especially purchased content. You can try contacting Apple via the Lost or Missing Items under the Music Purchases tab on this page http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/ - but Apple are under no obligation to let you re-download any content (and if they do it may be on a one-off basis, and you might not be able to do so again in the future)

Hi I have just got some wireless head phones and while using Bluetooth with my iPhone 4S the sound breaks up all the time but if I use a friends iPhone 5 or my iPad it's fine no problems atall! Any ideas what the problem could be people??????

Unpair the headset from the phone with the problem. Restart the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears), the pair the headset again. Also, look for things nearby that may be causing interference in the Bluetooth band. Cordless phones are a common cause of interference.

Yes, you can sync your iPhone just as you did your Touch and get the same songs, apps, video, etc.

Do I need basic cable to use the MLB package purchased through itunes to use on my Apple TV?

I would like to purchase the MLB package through itunes to use on my Apple TV. Do I need to have basic cable in order to watch it on the tv like some of the other apps require?

Yes sorry, I can see that from your question title. Are you in the US? Ifv so movie redownloads should be available, but I believev some studios aren't onboard.
In iTunes, go to the Store home page - on the right in Quick Links is there a Purchased/Purchases section? If so check if you can download the movies from there.
If you can't see them go to expresslane.apple.com and raise a support ticket for iTunes store, asking them to enable download via iTunes.

How can i redownload the ringtone I purchased on iTunes

I synced my iphone to my new mac and everything is on itunes but my ringtones I had downloaded how can i redownload the ringtones

You should be able to look at your past purchases and redownload them.

HT201269 I need help after I backed up my iCloud on 5s and backed up on 3GS I erased the settings and contents on my 5s so as to restore back up from my 3GS but to my surprise all the music I sync through iTunes on my laptop to my 5 s is no more there.

Pls how do I get my music I downloaded from my iPad back on my 5s I thought backing up meant no item will be lost.

Music is not included with the backup for an iOS device, and erasing all content and settings on an iOS device has no effect on music in your iTunes library on your computer.
If music is missing from your iTunes library on your computer, restore if from your computer's backup.
If the missing music in your Tunes library on your computer was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can re-download the music without having to pay for it again.
