Iphone won't sync ringtone-says not authorized-please help???

Hi and thanks in advance for the help.
I purchased a few ringtones. Three synced fine. My favorite choice did not. When finished syncing a pop-up said that it couldn't sync the song because I wasn't authorized to listen to it on this computer. HOWEVER, the song itself is downloaded, I can't listen to it on my computer and on my iphone, it just doesn't show up in the ringtones with the others where I really want it to be! Any ideas??? Thanks!

Thought that would work, but didn't. Again, the computer does play the song, does allow the iphone to play the song BUT NOT as a ringtone. That's where the problem is. I did go in and try to authorize the computer, but as suspected, it came back saying it was already authorized. Since, it has done this with yet another song when trying to create ringtone. I don't like being charged an extra fee for the ringtone and then not being able to sync it as such. If I buy it directly from the iphone, there is no problem, but going back in to create a ringtone from a purchased song is where the problem is but only for some ringtones, not all. UGH!
Thanks in advance for your help.

  • I purchased a film on iTunes and sync to Apple TV (1) and the film will not play say not authorised please help?

    I purchased a film on iTunes and sync to Apple TV (1) and the film will not play say not authorised please help?

    This problem seems to have started around October 28, it appears to affect content purchased only on other devices but played on the Apple TV 1.
    There have been other workarounds suggested from time to time, but I have found the simplest solution is to purchase something on the Apple TV 1 directly (There may be free content in some locations and this appears to work just as well).
    Once the content has been purchased, it will not only play as normal, but will also allow all other content purchased on other devices after October 28 to play as well.
    Some have reported that it's necessary to restart the Apple TV before and/or after purchase, but I found it worked without.

  • Eric Clapton Album Won't Sync "You are not Authorized"

    Hi, I need some help. I just got my new mac mini, and im very happy with it. However, all my music, except my Eric Clapton album is syncing. It's giving me messages like, "The following items including "ride the river" were not synced to <ipod name> because you are not authorized to play them on this computer. I authorized the computer several times, and it still won't work. help!

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You may wish to right click on the song, choose get info, in the General Tab it will give you info about the song and who bought it. Is your Apple ID the one who bought the song? If not then this is why it is not copying over.

  • HT1539 Digital copy code on the DVD Knight and Day saying 'not valid', please help.

    I bought the DVD Knight and Day and i have tried to download the digital copy of the film, however when i go to add my serial number for itunes which was on the slip in the dvd box, it says ' this code is not valid', i have entered the code many times and correctly, please help.

    From what I can tell, the digital copy offer for Alvin & the Chipmunks expired back in March; at least it did for the Blu-Ray version in the US. This is a scam being run by the movie studios; they advertise digital copies on the Blu-Ray and DVD disks they sell, but don't tell you up front that they're redeemable only for a limited time after the movie is first released. You may need to contact customer support for 20th Century Fox and get them to help:

  • IPhone won't sync Navigon - says there is no room, but there is plenty

    I have been having this issue with my wife's 8gb iPhone. With each Navigon update, you have to install a new 1.2ish gig application. To do this, it requires that we delete the app from her phone to open the room to re-install it. However, even with it deleted from her phone and having over 2gigs of open space, it still says that there is not enough room to install it.
    I have fixed this issue before by wiping her iPhone before - but surely this shouldn't be the solution to fix this.
    Also possibly related, sometimes her iPhone when connected is not recognized, until she opens iTunes manually.
    Bum iPhone?

    Navigon requires close to 3gb of free space in install, minimum. It most likely won't install properly without 3.5 ~ 4.0gb free.
    Once installed, the space used to install is freed up & only the app size is needed.

  • My iphone won't sync, keeps saying something about disk failure. the speakers also aren't working. should i restore it, or will i lose everything if i do?

    please help!!!

    Hi,
    I would do a restore. If you have a backup, you can restore it from the backup via iTunes or iCloud.
    See Backing up, updating and restoring iOS software. Also, How to restore from a backup.
    Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.

  • My IPhone won't sync all of my pictures! Help?

    I've checked off an album in ITunes which I'd like to have on my IPhone. The album's got 5840 pictures but when I sync the phone it'll only sync about 4900 of them. Itunes says my phone has 5,47GB left, so why is it a problem??
    Can anyone help me??
    Annika.

    All apps in your iTunes library on your computer are stored in a Mobile Applications folder in the iTunes folder located in your Music folder. If you transferred the iTunes folder from your Music folder on your PC to the Music folder on your Mac, the apps should have been transferred with it.

  • My iPhone got stolen and FindMyiPhone does not work PLEASE HELP!

    Hello there.
    This is my first post and I got a question.
    Here's my story
    My iPhone 3GS got stolen this week and I had "FindmyiPhone" (iOS 5.0.1) configured, but when I try to locate my iPhone it will show up as "offline".
    I've once heared you can trace your iPhone by an EMEI or UPC number or something like that.
    Do you guys know more about that so I can trace down my iPhone and can show it the police?
    Thanks!
    Kind regards,
    Renzeau

    I just got my macbook pro stolen last night. the theive opened it and I got the email from findmyiphone. I can see which house it is at, but the thing is cops can't help. Im still watching it on my iphone waiting for them to ope it again so I can see its location. But Im already ****** as $%#% because 911 told me that they cant keep following a missing laptop.
    so that was my story, right now my macbook is showing as red also. But keep watching it because they have to turn it on eventually and as long as you check email me when found on icloud.com then you will get an email. Or you can also keep watching on your computer.
    So again go on icloud.com and sign in with the itunes account/email that you use on your iphone, you'll see the find my iPhone option there!

  • AE won't sync up with my modem. please help

    I have a new modem from my new cable service. When I plug my mac directly into my modem via ethernet, the internet works fine.
    When I plug that ethernet cable into the AE base station and get onto that network via airport, no pages load.
    I have version 5.7 firmware on my AE and all my software is up to date.
    Please help!

    Is this is a cable modem?
    Most cable modems need to be powered down when you switch the Ethernet connection from one device to another. When the modem is powered up, it discovers the new device and will communicate with it.
    Some cable modems have a reset button.
    Some cable modems have a small internal battery which must be removed to do the reset.
    Some cable modems must be turned off for several hours (or even overnight) to allow the equipment back at the ISP time to reset.

    Hello katey1717
    If you are getting the repeated prompts of asking to authorize your Apple ID, then check out the article below to resolve the issue. Make sure that you go through and remove the SC Info folder and try to authorizer again as that resolved it for me when I had that issue.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.
