HT201272 i bought a song on my iphone to be used as a ringtone.  I now can only find it in my history and I can play it but cannot do anything else

I bought a ringtone on my iphone and i cant get use it.  I can only find it in the history and can play it but that's all. how do i get it inot my ringtones?

Unlike apps, music and media purchased from iTunes can't be re-downloaded without paying again.  If the song is already in your iTunes library on your computer, you'll have to wait to sync.  However, if you just downloaded it and never synced to your computer, it's gone...
You can contact iTunes support and plead your case, telling them what happened.  They might be merciful.

  • I can hear sound but cannot see anything on my iphone

    I was deleting apps so I had enough room to run the new update, and the screen just shut off. I can hear when I get phone calls, texts, etc. but cannot see anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Lorie,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If folks are reporting that they can't hear you when on calls, I would try the steps in this article:

    Hi Alljays2002,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you only see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, first try to reset it:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If you are not able to reset the iPhone or it returns to the "connect to iTunes" screen, you may need to restore your iPhone using the steps found here:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • Facebook states 'An error has occurred'. I can log in, but not do anything else and visually is different, as if the site is not loaded properly

    It use to work just fine and I could post on a wall or send messages, look for people, etc., but for the last couple of months, even after I log-in, it doesn't matter, I cannot do anything. The site loads as if there is an error on the web page with images not loading and just a strange appearance. It has occurred with prior versions of Firefox too, but it use to work just fine with other versions, so I have no idea what happened.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • EZXS16W linksys 16 port switch, can open homepages but cannot navigate anywhere else.

    I recently installed a network for a friends business. They have 8 computers for their network. To start I connected the cable modem to a linksys wireless n router and then i have plugged in a EZXS16W linksys 16 port switch. Everything has been working fine for about a month until last week. Everything starts fine in the mornings when they turn on all the computers and continues to work fine for a couple of hours. After that they can open up their homepages (each computer has a different one) but when you try to go to another web page it can take up to 10 minutes or never load at all. If i restart the router and switch everything goes back to normal for several hours then happens again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Are you facing these problem on all your Wired Computer or certain wired computer? In these case i would suggest you to lower down the MTU size on your Router from 1500 to 1350 and then check if you face these same problem or not.
    If the same problem persist then i think you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router. 

  • I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer.

    I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer, even when I checked for available downloads all it says is, "All purchases have been downloaded for ths Apple ID". What should i do?

    Hello rahulseth,
    I would recommend for these symptoms that you delete the song and re download it using this article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That should resolve any issues with the downloaded file.
    All the best,

    You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

  • I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.

  • When you are pulling music from a hard drive and it says music can not be found, is there a way to stop it from doing that every time I play music from my computer? It used to find all music now it only finds 1 song at a time

    When pulling music from a harddrive and it say music can not be found, is there a way to stop this from happening every time I play music on my computer? It used to find all music when serching for song but now it only finds 1 at a time. I have over 2000 songs so I can't go through this every time.

    1) However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
    Is this possible?
    Yes
    2) Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
    If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system.  If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player.  This should play the movie directly from the flash drive. 
    If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
    3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
    You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop.  When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes.  I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes. 
    To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard.  In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.  
    I hope that helps!

  • I perviously transfered all my iTunes music to an external hard drive. But now when I connect the external hard drive and try to play a song, I get an error message saying that I need to "locate" my music. I don't how to find it on my external hard drive.

    Thanks! 

    I called Apple Support and they walked me through it. They told me to basically copy and paste my music to the external hard drive. (I think.) Or maybe it was they had me transfer a folder to the EHD. I don't exactally remember it was a few years back. But I tried to plug in the EHD before starting and...nothing. Still says same thing, "locate file."
