IPhone 4S doesn't set purchased ringtone to chosen contact. So I have to do it myself, afterwards. Thank you.

I open "iTunes" on my iPhone, then "Tones", then choose the ringtone i like and press "Buy Tone".
iTunes asks me, how i would like to use my new tone - i choose "define to contact", then it asks to provide access to Contacts, and I say "Yes".
Tone downloads, but afterwards i find that contact still has old (default ringtone), so i have to do it myself.
Is it a known issue, and what is the solution?
Thank you.

It seems to happen with songs that were purchased before synchronizing the new iPhone
I will tell you how I fixed it.
Note: I have iTunes in spanish so I will try to translate and figure out the commands that appear on ITunes in english. I will put my translations into brackets. English is not my native language. I will do my best.
The workaround is:
1.- Dragg no working songs from iTunes to a folder on the hard disk. (Only for backup purposes)
2.- Deleted those songs from iTunes library.
3.- On the left panel in ITunes click on "Purchased" under the STORE option. All your purchased songs will appear on the right panel
4.- At the bottom and right there is the option : "Download Previous Purchases". Click there.
5.- Click on the option "Are not in my Library" (top right)
6.- The songs you deleted from iTunes will appear.
7.- Downloaded them again. (You have the option to download at the bottom right)
8.- Syncronize your iPhone and that's all.

How to set purchased ringtone

How do you set a ringtone purchased from itunes?

iPhone Settings > Sounds > Ringtone > your purchased ringtones should be at the top of the list.
To set up ringtone for your contacts, use Contacts app that came with the iPhone.

How do I put a purchased ringtone on my contact?

I have purchased ringtones for my contacts but my IPhone does not recognize the ringtones or give me the option to attach the new ringtone to a contact. Help would be appreciated or a refund.

First, it has to recognize the ringtones.
Then to assign to a contact,
On your iPhone, go to the Home screen. Tap Phone and then tap Contacts. Choose a contact, tap Ringtone and select a new ringtone. When that contact calls, you will hear that ringtone.

Try rebooting your computer and reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

My 30 day Photoshop trial finished yesterday. I purchased the $9.99 per month Photoshop package and received an email saying "Thank you for your payment etc" But when I go to open PS it still says "the trial has expired.."

My 30 day Photoshop trial finished yesterday. I purchased the $9.99 per month Photoshop package and received an email saying "Thank you for your payment etc" But when I go to open PS it still says "the trial has expired.." Is it supposed to work automatically or is there a step I'm missing?

1. Close all the Adobe Applications. Log-out from creative.adobe.com and re-login.
2. Once you launch the software and when you get the error saying the the trial version has expired, you will have an option saying "License this software".
3. Select this option and enter your credentials and click next.

I can't figure out how to set the history to only save 2 days. Is there a way. Thank you

I have tried to figure out how to set my history to only save 2 days. I am sure that in previous version of firefox that this option was available where as in this one I don't see that. So I am either blind that I can't find it in the history option or it doesn't exist. It seems the options are remember history no limit or always to remove when closed. I want the options of setting how many days not the other two. Is there a way to do that? Thank you.

No need to crop your clips. The mask does the cropping of the upper clip.
To use the image mask, you need an image to place into the drop zone in the inspector. In your case you'd want a simple black to white gradient as the image mask and choose Luminance in the Image Mask source luminance pop-up. I'm attaching a sample gradient. The original was 1280x720 to match a 720p movie but the forum shrinks it down. This gradient was created in Photoshop in less than 30 seconds.
You import this gradient file into your event. Click on the Mask Source in the Image Mask effect and then click on the gradient file in your event list and click Apply Clip. Change the Mask Source to Luminance. Change the offset mask parameters to move where the gradient lines up in your movie.

I have an iPhone 5c and when i try to IMessage my contacts if they have an iPhone it sends it off of my email instead of my phone number what do i do to fix this?

I have an iPhone 5c recently updated with iOS 8, i am having problems with my IMessage. when i try to IMessage my contacts, instead of sending the IMessage from my phone number the message is sent with my email. i also cannot be in a group chat due to me texting off of my email. i don't want this to happen.. what are ways to fix this so i no longer can text off of my email.

Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that your phone number is checked and iMessage reads as activated. Remove the checkmark from the email address and make sure that only the phone number if checked. It should appear grayed out, but should still have a checkmark. If the phone number does not have a checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a few moments and then turn iMessage back on and make sure that it activates.
