I assigned specific custom ringtones to specific contacts on my iPhone 4. When I sync my new iPhone 5, will those contacts automatically still have those ringtones assigned to them, or will I have to go into each contact and manually reassign them again?

Just wondering if it's possible to sync iPhone 5 in a way that automatically keeps my contacts from my iPhone 4 with the same custom ringtones. Or will I have to re-assign them all manually?

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes to my computer and when I sync my new iphone, it says it is syncing but doe not pull the music in my library. Can anyone assist me in figuring out how to sync my iphone? The computer that has my current music library is old so I want to get it synced before it dies...

Download what applications?
Apps in iTunes do not run on computers.
What is the exact error and where specifically is it occurring?

HT1386 Hi when I sync me new iphone 4s to my mac book pro everything is copying across except my contacts, I can see them on the computer in my address book but they will not copy across

Hi
When I sync my new iphone 4s to my mac book everything moves across apart from my contacts, I have cleared the phone and started again but it will not work.

Hello Grant - -Thanks - -
I notice you are west of Boston - -we in Medford and son goes to Tufts in town
(small world)
Not really certain what you are telling us - - I am not good at computers
A couple of other things that may be tips - -
1 - on wednesday of this week
our son noticed the fan was going on almost continuosly,
After that trouble started - -
2. - When we put the new HD in - -same things happened,
which is ? mark in folder (start-up items)
3. - His computer will not see my wireless even if I put it next to my I-mac
It sees several networks but not mine - -and if we type in my netwokr
info - -it will not take. He wanted to try a network start-up .
I forget how that is done.
4, - The bottom of the computer is getting hot - -much hotter than i think it should.
any ideas why his computer won't see my router?
I think he may just have to take it to Apple Store on Newbury Street.
Would they be able to get his info off the old HD assuming it is still good and
transfer to the new HD fairly easy.
LAstly - - I am pretty certain I have the str-up disks for my I-mac which is running
10.5.8.
Would I be able to do anything with my computer and hook into his computer
into mine like an external device or something like that
I really appreciate your thoughts and efforts on this and must admit I have no
external enclosrure? but I have an external HD on my I-mac
As you can tell - -I am not to good at this
Thanks from Meffa (lol0 Jim the father

I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs. Just got the iPhone. If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will all my music automatically transfer to the new phone, or will I lose everything?

When you connect the phone to your computer, you can select the music you want to sync, all music, just selected playlists, just selected artists or genres. See this: Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine. Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

When i synced my new iphone to my pc i clicked the wrong button - instead of restoring it from my old phone's last backup i clicked set up as new iphne - now it appears all my old texts and my notes have gone. Any ideas how I can get them back?

When you plug it into iTunes - it will show on the left side of the screen. Right click on it, and you will have a list of restores to use. Pick the one you want, and it will pull all of that data. It worked on mine...

When i try to purchase or update it says "Your Apple ID has been disabled." I have contacted Apple 3 times and they told me to change my password each time and i told them i tried that, but it didn't work.They said they would try to fix it and they never contacted me after that. I have an ipod touch 2nd generation.

What did itunes support tell you?
If you did everything it says then you contacted them.
From the article you linked:
If the issue persists, you can visit iCloud Support, iTunes Support, Apple Print Products, or contact AppleCare for further assistance."

Can anyone help, any would be appreciated.

You have exported as an Address Book archive file: you need to select all the contacts and choose to export them as a vCard - this is the only format you can import into the iCloud website.

I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook
Why would you do that, and not on your own computer? See the hassle it caused you?
can he just email me the folder
Backup files are too big to email. Use FTP, DropBox, etc...
how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

My iPhone 4S screen is suddenly not reacting. The screen has turned a light blue color but nothing is happening. I have tried several things such as holding the power button, plugging it into the wall, and plugging it into my computer. What should I do?

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

I want to be able to tweak the graphic equalizer in real time while recording - and have this have the audible effect written to the recording. At the moment i have to go into post-production and manually set the graph equalizer at various time points .

This won't be real-time as you record, but you could tweak the EQ in real-time after the recording thus:
Record what you want to tweak into GB with no effects.
Solo the track and output it into something like Audacity.
Start Audacity recording, then play your track in GB as you make those tweaks. That's what Audacity will record.
Get that file from Audacity and put it into GB, then you'll have that effect.
Sorry if it's complicated, but that's what came to mind. Hope it works.

You can have one icloud account and a different itunes account on the phone. I have my icloud account and a shared itunes account. He does not have to use the new icloud account as is ID in itunes and app store. He can keep using the old one.

I assigned specific custom ringtones to specific contacts on my iPhone 4. When I sync my new iPhone 5, will those contacts automatically still have those ringtones assigned to them, or will I have to go into each contact and manually reassign them again?
