In 10.5.1, why does 'Tones' want to delete my music?

Hi, I have created a ringtone and imported it into iTunes, and it shows up in this new 'Tones' tab ('Ringtones' doesn't seem to exist anymore). I think I have to sync Tones for it to show up on my iPhone 4, but I get a window saying it will delete all the songs on my iPhone when it does! I really don't want to have to reload them. Any tips to why this is happening? Thanks.

They are tones I made, and have used before. The problem it seems comes when you are manually managing music, If I click and drag a tone from itunes to my iphone it puts a little sync symbol next to the title of the tone. I have to check sync under tones to get the tones onto the iphone, at that time it warns me that it will delete all of my music if I sync my tones, im trying to avoid that. I have a 3Gs and a 4s, I know the tones work on the 4s as its brand new and I didnt have any music to lose so I synced the tones and they are fine. However, my personal phone the 3Gs has all my music and I dont want to lose that.

If you install a program then elevated (Administrator) permissions are needed and Windows will ask you to confirm.
If it happens all the time if you start a program then you need to check the Compatibility tab in the Properties of the shortcut via the right-click context menu and make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime?

Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime? When my girlfriend and I are trying to watch a movie on Netflix together while on FaceTime my MacBook Pro always decreases the volume of any background sound on my computer so I can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

Have the same issue too. Apple can you please change this annoying feature. You are making long distance relationships more difficult.
I like how Facetime was with the old iOS, where nothing was dimmed. OR at least maybe if you could give users the option to turn on or off dimming of facetime.

Why if i want to listen to music and i'am not using headphones i don't hear the music coming from the mac

why if i want to listen to music and i'am not using headphones i don't hear the music coming from the mac?

that means that your mac still thinks the headphones are plugged in. Try inserting and unplugging the headphones from the jack several times and see if it sets the toggle switch back. If not, try sticking a toothpick or something sturdy and narrow in and see if you can manually flip the toggle switch. That method is a last resort, you do not want to break anything off inside the headphone jack.

Why would anybody want Sub Scription Based Music? Just curious.......

I was wondering, why would ppl want sub scription based music anyways? I mean....it's just like RENTING music, u dont exactly KEEP it. To me, i prefer to keep my music for a lifetime, which is why sometimes i still buy CDs, but i use MusicMatch mostly. I just dunno why u guys would pay $4 a month to rent music when u can pay .99 for a song that u can keep forever. I mean, in time, the company u use for Sub Scription based music will be shut down eventually, after many many years, who knows how long, and after they close down, u cannot renew ur license and well, u just wasted all that $4 a month on renting music, while i paid .99 a track and still have that music, forever and ever! Just wondering why.......

Computerking, guys like you are now the RIAA's latest excuse for copy-protected "CD"'s (I put "CD" in quotes because they're not really CD's per Philips). Read this article:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/2005084/a...usic_retailers
Believe me, DRM is a LOT better than copy protection; at least with most purchased DRM files you can burn a real CD (without copy protection OR installing copy-protection trojan apps). Subscription DRM doesn't let you burn, but with the ability to transfer to compatible MP3 players, it's not that big a deal as long as you can understand renting vs. owning. (It's the main reason I bought a Zen Micro.) Copy protection is making me rethink the whole idea of buying CD's--and I'm old enough to remember when vinyl and cassettes ruled the world. (8-tracks were just barely before my time.)
I think subscription music is the wave of the future because you don't spend a whole lot of money on "new" (or new to you) artists whose CDs just clutter up your collection. You can listen to new music; if you really, really like it, you can buy the CD or purchased download.
Even if you don't like the rental model, buying download tracks (even with DRM) is a wonderful antidote against having to buy a whole album for one good song; you only have to spend 99 cents (most places) for the one good song. I myself started out with downloads mainly to get rare collaborations, etc. that appear on other artists' albums, without having to buy the whole thing.

I want to delete all music not Syncing, iTune want to delete everything

I want to delete all music in my iPhone to gain space as I do not use it for listening music anyway.
My old computer was stolen and now when I plug my iPhone in itune and try syncing ZERO music it say it will erease everything.
I fear it will remove my Apps, apps data, photo and most importantly I fear it will change the order of my icons.
I do not have ticked anything but "Sync music" will it delete all music or EVERYTHING ?
Someone told me I should use WinSCP to delete the file manually,
Any help would be greatly apreciated.

I believe MediMonkey will do that. It requires iTunes to be installed, but you don't need to open iTunes or anything.
http://www.mediamonkey.com/information/free/
It is free but only available for PC and not for mac.
I used to use it when I had a PC, and I think you can just select all the iPhone music on it and delete it.

I want to delete all music on my i-Phone and reload what I want...have tried to do it manually on i-Tunes and by just selecting specific songs, but nothing comes off my phone.

You might want a more Mac-centric version of that post which is directed more at Windows users.
iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

Select your Music Track so that a yellow border is around it. Then hit the Delete Key. Alternatively, hit EDIT/DELETE SELECTION.

Why does Time machine not delete old backups

I dont understand Why time machine is not deleting old backups. As it worked first time with the same size backup drive as the drive its backing up, I assumed it would just delete the old backup as needed. Do I need a bigger backup drive?

Roglee wrote:
I just want it to delete the old backup & replace it so i just have a copy. I guess i could just re format the drive each time but that just seems a waste of my time when TM should do this for me!
If this is all you want to do, turn off Time Machine, download SuperDuper! and use it for free. This will clone whatever drive you want and the free trial will erase your back up drive each time. I can't remember if it will let you choose what to back up or if it wants the entire drive. Also, I'm not sure if the Scheduler works with the free trial. Below are some verbiage for SuperDuper!. Looks like if you want Scheduling you will have to purchase a license.
Download Now!
You can download SuperDuper! v2.7.1 right now and back up and clone your drives for free— forever!
Buy Now!
Buy now to unlock scheduling, Smart Update (which saves a lot of time), Sandboxes, scripting and more!
Time Machine will keep making back ups and when it determines it needs space, it will delete older back ups. But it doesn't delete older ones each time it backs up.

When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary. It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library. I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

Please help. I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes. I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle). I use Windows XP on my laptop. When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library. I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too).
The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library. I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod. PLEASE HELP. I'm tech challenged to say the least.

You can move the music to the new Mac from the iPad - if it is purchased from iTunes.

If it was not purchased but imported from CD's look for a third party app to do this - check out TouchCopy from Wide Angle Software
