Is the worst thing about iphone it's ringtunes, and how do I fix???

Hello there,
Unfortunately I am now within hour 15, in my attempts to replace Apples purposefully terrible ringtones with new ones, and I've bought a few now... However none of them work.. they aren't even recognised on itunes as ringtones. I bouhgt on my phone and on my pc and have imported, exported, synched, and read all of the information, attempted to edit 30 seconds and all that stuff, except my library will not pass them to the ringtones section, nor does it have the bell thingy or will it let me creat ringtone... The whole itunes thing is glitchy and has hijacked my music collection...
I am enfuriated by Apples attempt to force us into buying these awful things, as their selection is also dismal... Sod Apple, i'm off to windows... But before I do... how am I supposed to fix this thing... cos right now i'm considering sueing...

Did you buy the song, +and then+ buy the ringtone? Buy a song with a bell symbol in the Store. Then, go to your Music library (click on Music at the top of the list in the left, or on the Purchased playlist), find the song, click the bell icon, select your fragment of song, then click Buy. Yes, you must pay twice, once for the song, again for the Ringtone. That's how purchased ringtones work. Then, they show up in the Ringtones tab in iTunes and can be synced to the phone and selected in the Sounds settings or for specific contacts.
Or, make your own ringtones, for free.
EDIT: Just noticed you're in the UK - the record labels have basically prevented Apple from selling ringtones outside the US. So, don't bother trying to buy them via the iTunes Store - just use the link I provided, or any of the many 3rd party apps that will do the job (consult Google as Tamara suggests).

Hands down the worst thing about iphone.

You cant sync music from computer to computer..whoooooooo
What were they thinking with this?? absolutely the worst thing ive ever heard of.......
and
Can we get a drive that we can dump stuff on..like a usb key??
Apple?
Anyone??
mom??

Just to clarify this last post, you can sync contacts
and calendars on one computer (office pc in my case)
and media - pictures, music, et al - from another
computer (mac at home). It worked absolutely
seamlessly in my case.
How do you do this? I have my itunes on my G5 and my contacts/calendar on my MacBook Pro. I tried connecting my iphone to the G5 - itunes doesn't notice it. Any advice?

I have an iMac, Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, memory: 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, OSX 10.7.5, FCPX 10.0.8. I have no third party plugins. First time responding to community. Forgive any protocol errors.
Been working on variety of work projects for months prior to update with no problems. Took time off for a simple new project after updating to 10.0.8. Finished this small (11 minute) new project that is a combination of video and stills, with a few titles and simple transitions. Plays fine within FCPX, however, ran into same problem that started this chain, ie cannot share/export without getting same error message stated above related to a faulty frame.
Tried several share/export Master File settings. Tried moving project (from within FCPX) to another drive which resulted in same error message, but related to other different frames. Tried replacing original data in affected frame with freshly exported replacement files using QTime. Same problem again. Was able to export to Compressor, but resulting ProRes 422 file was so jumpy it wasn't usable.
Tried suggestions of Mark M 98021 and Hank LV, ie, halting all rendering in preferences and deleting render files. After this, I was successful in sharing/exporting at will.
I have several other major projects that I am afraid to return to. I'm not an expert at the inner workings of FCPX and don't have time to keep dealing with this issue. I can leave rendering off, but not a satisfactory solution. Not sure if old rendered files might become infected.
It would seem that there is a problem in the update. I hope this is corrected so I can continue with my work.

You don't, take it to Apple for repair.
This might interest you if it's too old to fix.

I bought an album and some of the songs did not download for the full length, but others did. why? and how do i fix it?

i bought an album from the itunes store and some of the songs did not download the whole length... why? and how do i fix this?

Delete the incomplete tracks from your library, sending them to recycle bin, then download them again from your purchased history. If the problem persists use the "report a problem" links from your account history to contact the iTunes store support staff.
Are the incomplete tracks ones that you had previewed before purchasing the album? If so there may be a bug that needs reporting. See this recent post which explains why I ask the question...

Help! I transferred the data from my old Macbook pro with some success, but now my new Macbook Air contents think they are the remote disc and that the old Mac Pro is the hard drive. What did I do and how do I fix it?

I transferred the data from my old 2006 MacBook Pro 17". Thanks for the help on that. I thought that I was doing it right. Used a backup hard drive and time machine. Problem: Now my new macbook air thinks it is the old machine and that the remote disc is the mb air. Clicks want to take things to mobile me instead of iCloud, old applications launch instead of the new ones. How do I fix the mess I have made? Like I said before, I am a software user and don't really know what I am doing when I start into the guts of the software, but I am able to learn. Thanks for any help.

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

After a PRAM reset my MBP 1,1 display is split into 4 parts each displaying the same image. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

After resetting the PRAM/NVRAM (control, option, P, R) on my Macbook Pro 1,1 (2007) running 10.6.8 The screen is now split into 4 parts, each displaying the same thing. The screen immediately appears this way at the first grey screen, however if I do another NVRAM reset, upon restart after the second startup chime, the screen is normal but once it gets to a certain point around thetime the cog stops spinning, the screen flickers, turns blue and splits into four again.
Another thing is when I tried using the Apple Hardware Test I couldn't read the instructions as the resolution was too small, but once I restarted and change my display resolution in System Preferences, the resolution was readable in AHT. I assumed the System Settings were loading when the OS had booted and that AHT runs without any of these settings (if that makes sense?)
I've not used any third party utilites and everything working fine except for some battery issues which are gone now (the reason I tried the PRAM reset)
Any help would be much appreciated

HT1689 i had already bough sevral ringtones, yet something happend after the upgread that they or on my computer under Tones but are gone on my Iphone. What happened and how can i fix it?

I had bough alot of ringtones for my i-phone, when i upgraded it, after that they didn't appear on my phone anymore, yet they are still on my I-tunes, what can i do to fix that?

There's a user tip here with a checklist of things to confirm to get ringtones to sync properly: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3792. If it's still not syncing to your phone after going through this article, try altering the tag on one of the ringtones by right-clicking on the ringtone, selecting "Get Info", go to the Info tab and make a slight change to the Artist field (such as by adding a few characters to the end), Click OK and try syncing it again. If it transfers successfully, do the same for the remaining ringtones.

HT4528 The sound on my iphone 4 doesn't work, how do I fix?

The sound on my phone has stopped working. Went to play music and didn't work. Adjusted all side buttons, still doesn't work. Won't let me turn up volume. Silent button is off.

Did you check the long verticle silver button on the left side of the phone? It is above the + & - Keys. If it is pushed down, you will have no volume. THis is a key to quickly shut off the volume if you forgot to trun it down during a meeting, funeral, etc. If that is okay, go into settings and see if volume is turned on. "vibrate" is no longer an option by itsself.

When viewing some websites my desktop background image shows as the page background...why...and how do I fix this?

It seems that the current version of Firefox does not understand how to process style sheets. Instead of the stylesheet background color or image, I am now seeing my PC's desktop background image. This does not happen with IE or Chrome. When checking the error console, I get "Warning: Unknown property 'zoom'. Declaration dropped. Source File: http://trustserve.net/themes/ModernBlue/templates_cached/EN/global.css Line: 4"
I am not trying to zoom.
Any ideas on how to fix this. I can't use Firefox with these problems and I really liked it prior to these problems.

I thought I had it disabled. I enabled aero and then disabled to be sure, and still have the problem, but that was a very good idea. Thanks.
The problem started shortly after I installed two new programs, a graphics program, and an anti-virus. I just removed both programs and restarted the computer and that seems to have solved the problem. Your idea about Aero gave me the idea that one, or both of these programs changed some of my system settings. I am now going to install them, one at a time, and see if the transparency problem returns. I'll post my findings.

When itry to download an app on my ipod, it goes to my iphone instead? Why and how can i fix this?

I've checked throught the settings on both devices and can't figure out where i went wrong. When i download an app on my ipod, it disappeaers before the download is complete but shows up on my iphone. Weird!

Is the app compatible with the iPod?
It also appears that yu have automatic downloading turned on. On the iPod go to Setting>Store and turn Automatic Downloading for apps and other items too if you want.
