HT204019 Why can't you make custom ringtones and apply them to your iphone without bypassing iTunes on a Mac or PC?

I just don't think doing 18 steps just to get 1 ringtone is necessary...and if it is, it should be changed.

You can. Get Garageband:

    Do you get a send error message or a red "!" when you send?  Do you have a data plan on your account?  Check that your carrier has you provisioned for MMS.

  • HT201269 why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iphone to import to my new Ipad Air?

    Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?

    We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
    I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
    Look at this app for the videos.

  • Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))

    Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))
    It functioned well originally, but a month ago I could not use facetime and send i-message anymore. I think there is nothing wrong with my apple ID because I can still download apps in apple store.

    Try turning both iMessages and Facetime off in SETTINGS then re-enable iMessages and then Facetime. See if that helps.

  • Can you make custom ringtone for iPhone 4 w/o using iTunes?

    My computer crashed and I had to redownload iTunes and all my music the other day. I plugged my iPhone 4 in to put a custom ringtone I made in iTunes on it and it says it wants to "erase and sync" my phone since it was connected to my old iTunes. Is there a way to fix this or is there a way to make a new custom ringtone for my iphone without using iTunes?

    you're better off creating new ringtones.  Take a look at the first link I gave you, that will answer all your questions.

  • I don't understandwhy i need to buy a new charger cable for my iphone 5 every week. why can't you make a normal cable, that doesn't stop working? i csn't spend so much money on buying new cablesall the time.

    these cable are so delicate that after one week of use they break down. i can't spend all my money on buying them. moreover, last week it broke down on saturday eve so i was stuck untill tuseday without a phone.
    i have to say that this compan is so rude, and it took me like an hour to sign in and write this complain, and i'm not even sure if it's the right place to wright this sort of things.
    apple's customer service is the wort customer service in the world.

    I don't understand why you need to buy a new one every week. I've had my iPhnoe 5 for almost a year, never had a problem with the cable. In addition, your phone is can't be more than a year old. Therefore, unless you're damaging them, your cable is under warranty and Apple will replace it. Perhaps you should have tried actually availing yourself of Apple's customer service before complaining about it.
    Best of luck.

  • Why can't you simply put a solution to the exclamation point issue into the iTunes program and save a lot of grief for your customers??

    Why can't the great computer iTunes gods simply add a program that solves the great Exclamation Point Bugaboo, making iTunes capable of finding all files and eliminating this massive annoyance and the misery it causes?? Why do we, the customer, have to do the boring drone work and find the **** files when the computer should be doing it??

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Why can't you use a pre-paid credit card on your itunes account?

    i tried using  apre paid credit card for my itnunes account to purchase songs and it won't let me

    Wonder why an Apple person told me this would work??
    Apple should read this stuff once in a while.
    Some prepaid cards appear to act as credit cards to the merchant. If yours is one of them it should work, but debit cards are not accepted for the iTunes Store.
    Can you use a pre-paid credit card from Wal-Mart?
    Do you mean an iTunes Card, the kind sold at Wal-Mart? Sure, that will work.
    "Pre-paid" and "credit" are mutually exclusive.
    I believe this way of thinking about it ought to be valid: if you need a PIN code, the card won't work.
    I don't use debit cards so I can't be certain if this will apply consistently, but let me know if that makes sense.

  • How can I find previously purchased ringtones and download them?

    They do not appear with the rest of my past music/tv/book purchases that I can download using iCloud. I'm not talking about eligible songs that I have made into ringtones in the past. I'm talking about the pre-made ringtones you purchase straight off iTunes.

    Huh?  File has nothing to do with it.  Do not click File.  Forget File. It transfers FROM iphone TO itunes.  This is NOT what you are trying to do.
    You need to sycn your iphone.  This is very basic and is certainly covered in the manual.
    Open itunes.
    Connect iphone.
    Select what you want to sync.
    Sync.

  • Anyone know how to create a ringtone and drag it into your iPhone 4s ?

    I have downloaded various apps in order to cut a section of music of approimately 36 seconds and have been successful in getting it on to my desktop. I have then taken it into iTunes no problem converted it to aac format AND OR  m4r.but it will not drag into my phone tones section. In fact it say on my iTunes (tones) not (ringtones) and its the same when my device is highlighted it says tones also. Can anyone help as i feel that as I have already purchased my music from Apple I should not have to pay again to use a section of music I have paid for already.
    Using windows xp OS.
    Kind regards
    PAUL.

    Is this ringtone in the "Tones" section of your iTunes library? Does it play in iTunes? If you answer yes to both of those questions, drag the "Tone" to the actual iPhone icon in the left device pane.

  • Why can't you make the bookmark toolbar visible by default?????

    I went to organize my bookmarks and there is no toolbar. Now, you say it is hidden by default. That's crazy. Anyway, I can't follow the instructions. There is no Firefox button to click. There is no "options" option anywhere.
    I can't even set my default options for applications, or the Internet. That's gone too. Will you please ;make these helpful tools VISABLE BY DEFAULT! If not, why not?

    Thank you very much, Car-el. If others had told me this, the problem would have been solved three days ago! However, I wanted to rename a folder, and I don't see that this is possible. I would think that after one goes to the "Show All Bookmarks" one could change the name in the "folder name" text box and it would work, or right click on the actual folder one wants to rename and the pull down would have that option. Not so for either here. So, my problem is still not solved. Oh, well.

  • Why can't you make a sap.m.Dialog be modal?

    We have decided to use mainly mobile components and I am wondering why the sap.m.Dialog component doesn't have a setModal method to make it modal or not. Is modality not something that a mobile component needs?
    Thanks!

    Hello Erich,
    Please check the following code. The dialog box is modal.
    var messageDialog = new sap.m.Dialog({
        title: "Dialog Title",
        type: sap.m.DialogType.Message,
        icon: "sap-icon://error",
        content: new sap.m.Text({
        text: 'You can set your UI Content here'
        leftButton: new sap.m.Button({
        text: "Ok",
        press: function () {
        alert("You tapped Left Button");
         rightButton: new sap.m.Button({
         text: "Cancel",
         press: function () {
         alert("You tapped Right Button");
    Hope this is helpful to you.
    Please let me know.
    Regards,

  • Why apple? Why can't you make bug reports available?

    What is wrong with Apple?  Why is it that I can report a bug directly from my phone or even on their website? Why have none of these questions been getting answered in this forum except for that one? I hope someone with management power sees this and realizes Apples serious lack in being able to support

  • Why can't i make or receive phone calls on my new iphone 4

    I received my i-phone 4 in the mail yesterday.  Never had a "smart" o\phone before.  My husband plugged it in to the pc to charge while I was at work, I think he also connected it to our wifi.  When I got home from work, I spent the next little while setting up things like the wallpaper, alarms I need throughout each workday, and downloading a couple of songs and an app or two.  I placed my first facetime calls, which went quite smoothly.  Thne I tried to make a plain old call...instantly the screen read "call failed."  And that's what keeps happening.  I tried calling my cell from the home number and it goes straight to voicemail as though my phone weren't even on.  So what's the deal?  I can surf, and download, and facetime, but I can't make a phone call from my phone?

    That would be a question for your carrier.
