IPhone 4 unable to show custom ringtones made in iTunes

I created a custom ringtone in iTunes so that I wouldn't have to buy the same ringtone that I already purchased in full. It shows up on my iPhone, but it isn't an option for a ringtone?

Hi, lmeaux
Make sure you created ringtones are .m4r  format, if not, try this steps
Rename all .m4a episode files to be .m4r
Remove and re-add the files to the iTunes library
Sync with the iPhone now works

  • I updated my iphone 3gs today to the ios 5.  I have 4 custom ringtones in my itunes library, but it will only allow 3 to sync to my phone.  They were all on before I updated today.  I have deleted the one that won't transfer

    I updated my iphone 3gs today with ios 5.  I had 5 custom ringtones on my phone before updating.  After updating, it will not allow me to transfer 2 of those ringtones onto my phone.  I deleted both ringtones and recreated them.  They are in my itunes ringtone library, and show under my phone ringtones.  When I sync my phone, 2 will not sync onto my phone?  Any information will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

    have you tried resetting
    hold sleep / home button until apple logo appears ignoring red slider and
    allow to reboot
    If that doesn't help try this

  • Unable to Set Custom Ringtones on E63

    Just got this phone (new) and have been fairly happy. HOWEVER, I have one grief that I have yet to get resolved. Except for one of my contacts, I can not seem to set either mp3's or aac's as a custom ringtone for a contact. Though I have gone through the process multiple times, only my custom default ringtone plays when I receive a call.
    I would appreciate any and all help that will assist me in getting this resolved. To say I am slightly frustrated would be an understatement. Thanks ahead of time to all responses.
    Happy New Year to all.

    Duplicate numbers causes a number of problems, this was just one. It also will not display the caller's name if there is a duplicate. It's not confined to the E63 either.
    If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.

  • Ringtones not visible on my iPhone, but they ARE in my ringtones tab in iTunes.

    I have about 50 ringtones (all of them end with the "m4r" tag) in my ringtone tab in iTunes.  But after I sync my iPhone, the ringtones fail to show up on my iPhone. 
    Further, I just bought a new ringtone through my iPhone, and I now see it in my ringtones on the iPhone itself, but it fails to show up in iTunes in my Ringtone tab in iTunes.
    What am I not doing correctly here?
    Thanks, guys!

    (iTunes 10.5, iPhone 3GS, iMac running OS 10.6.8.)

    Confirm the following before trying to sync ringtones to your phone:
    That they are really ringtones: right-click on the files in iTunes, select Get Info, on the Summary tab they must say Kind: Ringtone
    That the ringtones are 40 seconds or less in length
    That you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings
    That you have checked the box next each of the ringtones that you want to sync to your phone
    That you checked "Sync Tones" on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings
    If this is all correct and you ringtones still aren't syncing try altering the tag for one of them by right-clicking on it, select Get Info, on the Info tab make a slight change to the Artist name (such as by adding a few letters), click OK and try syncing.  If this one transfers successfully do the same for the remaining ringtones.  As mentioned by the previous poster, you will find custom ringtones on your phone in Settings>Sounds>Ringtones; custom ringtones appear at the top of the list.

  • How Come My iPhone 3G No Longer Shows Up Nor Charges in iTunes??

    All of a sudden my iPhone 3G doesn't show up in the iTunes sidebar on my 20" iMac, but using the same cable, it does on my MacBook's iTunes. I have tried plugging it in directly to the iMac as well as to my Belkin hub, but it no longer shows up in iTunes, nor does it charge when plugged it. The iPhone stays dark when first plugged into the iMac now. I have restarted the iMac a few times, I have powered the iPhone on and off, and I have reset the iPhone more than once....... all with no change. However, the iPod now does show in the sidebar and on the Desktop, and it charges now after the iMac restarts were done. All the software is updated on both computers and on the iPhone 3G. Does anyone have any other suggestions to try. The iPhone 3G works in every other way as usual.
    Thanks for your help!

    hi John, i have my doubt that it has something to do with authorization/deauthorization. I have read somewhere before that the iPhone (not sure about iPod) can only be "paired" with one mac and if you want to synch it with another one, you need to deauthorize the initial one first. Inside iTune up on its menu bar under Store, there are 2 options that said authorize and deauthorize. Now i haven't tried this before as i only got myself one mac, so i have no past experience here with this particular case. May be some other experienced users can shed some light on this and share with us, before you try out?

  • Iphone not synching or showing up under devices in itunes

    My iphone 4 suddenly not synching or showing up under devices in itunes.  iPad works fine with either remote or connected synch.  Has anyone experienced this?

    Hi,
    By the sound of it I have a similar problem and have also posted a question.
    For me it is Iphone 4S and Ipad 2 - so two devices.
    They are picked up under my computer but not Itunes/devices. I've also noticed that Itunes store doesnt open?
    I don't have a solution either sadly.
    Both my deviced IoS6 and itunes are up to date - think it must be an Itunes issue, but see no suggestions from the Big Apple

  • Unable to show custom jsf error page !

    Hi all,
    I have a major problem displaying my custom errorpages. That is, they do not show at all!
    I also tried this in a simple project where I have only 1 jsf page, but the behaviour is the same.
    However, If I use a plain jsp page as erropage, then the error page is displayed as expected.
    My web.xml:
    <error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/jspErrorPage.jsp</location>
    </error-page>
    <!--error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/errorPage.jspx</location>
    </error-page-->
    If I remove all jsf and adf components from the adf-faces error page it does work correctly.
    For some reason the adf and jsf components can not be used in an error page.
    If I try this in the FOD demo application the behaviour is exactly the same !
    No errorpage is shown unless I remove all jsf and adf components.

    hi Johan
    It looks like the filter-mapping/dispatcher element in web.xml is relevant here.
    Default the "adfFaces" filter seems to be mapped like this ...
    <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>adfFaces</filter-name>
      <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
      <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
      <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
    </filter-mapping>If I also add a dispatcher element with ERROR value like ...
      <dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher>... the behaviour of my application starts to change.
    With such a dispatcher element configured, I can get an error-page configuration like this to "work":
         <error-page>
              <error-code>500</error-code>
              <location>/faces/internalServerErrorFaces.jspx</location>
         </error-page>Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.0 I created an example application for this,
    see http://verveja.footsteps.be/~verveja/files/oracle/FacesErrorPageApp-v0.01.zip
    The screenshots in FacesErrorPageApp.png show the page with the buttons that cause exceptions and the error page I get.
    The thing is, this seems to work only te first time (for the first session). So, navigating back and clicking another button only shows the same page again and not the error page.
    If I try something similar in a web-module that does not use ADF Faces, things seem to be OK.
    (The example application has a ViewControllerNoADFFaces project with an errorButtonPageNoADFFaces.jspx page with buttons that will cause an exception and show the internalServerErrorNoADFFaces.jspx page. From that error page I can navigate back an click a different button to cause a different exception to end up on the error page again.)
    Given that this at least looks like an ADF Faces issue, I think a reply from someone from Oracle in this forum thread could be useful. (And you could always create a service request on metalink.oracle.com for this.)

  • My iPhone 5 is not showing up in devices in iTunes

    Plugged in my iPhone 5 for the first time to my computer and it doesn't show in iTunes as a device.  Nothing.  iPhoto recognizes it and starts but not iTunes.  Help!

  • HT1386 Why Won't my iPhone reflect updates to changes I've made to iTunes playlists on my PC?

    When I first got my iPhone, I synced my music and playlists FROM the computer TO the phone. Worked fine. Now every sync makes my PC iTunes match the phone instead of the other way around.  The sync only works in one direction & now has deleted some of my favorite playlists! Super aggravating.  I just wanted my iPhone playlist to match the one I had made (ad updated) on the PC.  I tried deleting the playlist from the phone with the intention of refreshing it from the PC that way.  When I synced, the phone erased the playlist (one I really liked) from the PC instead. What. The. ****??

    If that does not help, there have been issues with the latest version of iTunes. You may need to remove and reinstall iTunes. If you do, follow the instructions in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

  • My iPhone 3GS is not showing in "devices" on my iTunes. Tried everything that Apple advize but still not working. Any suggestions please? :)

    Hello, hope someone can please help. I've had my iPhone 18 months, not had any problems with using it. Trying to update the software to 4.0 on iTunes but it's just not recognizing it at all. It's not there under devices (infact, even the heading "devices" isn't shown), Tried a different USB port but that didn't solve it.
    Have changed my startup (using msconfig) as Apple suggested, but again still nothing. Have downloaded the latest iTunes and *again* not working!!!!
    Any suggestions please?

    Perhaps you have already done this, but I'd be sure to verify that it's not your cable...try a different cable and that will eliminate that as a source of the error.
