ITunes deleted my ringtones BEWARE

I updated iTunes in the normal way but since I installed the latest version with the ringtones feature I have noticed that all of the ringtones I made for my Ericsson phone have been deleted. I made them all from songs I imported from my own CDs and some I made myself in Soundtrack. Apple had no right to delete any of my music but that's what they did. EVERY track that has the word ringtone in the title has been deleted.
This was not a bug, this was a deliberate act on their behalf. I have been a Mac user for over ten years but they have never done anything that has made me so angry. This was my music, most of it made by me, NONE of it was made with music bought from iTunes. What are you Apple, ringtone police?
If you don't believe me read this article:

One thing has nothing to do with the other. I never used the ringtones feature to make my ringtones, I made them with third party software. Plus I should be able to do whatever I want on my own machine (as long as it's legal). I made these ringtone two years ago before Apple even thought about making them. When they decided to enter the ringtones market they just decided they would delete my own personl ringtones for no reason, and you are OK with that???
How would you feel if they just decided to delete all the music on your machine that you burned from CDS and leave only the music you purchased from iTunes store?

  • I deleted my ringtones folder in the library of itunes how do I get it back?

    I deleted the ringtones folder in my itunes library as it didn't work how do I get it back? I have tried to get help on the web. someone said I need to go to preferences under the genearl settings on itunes and they had a picture of the window that it appears in ......it doesn't look like anything I have ever seen, maybe that is what you see with an iphone 4 I only have a 3Gs. Can anyone shed some light on the subject please? Thank you

    Ringtones have become Tones. Use the menu Edit > Preferences...Select the General tab and put a tick next to Tones. As to any files you deleted, recover them from your backup.

  • How do I delete a ringtone file on my iPhone?

    I created a ringtone file on garageband and sent it to itunes just to play around with it and then synced my phone. I deleted it and put another version of the same ringtone into itunes and then synced again but this time, both of the same ringtone was on my phone, but only one ringtone file was found in itunes. I deleted all my ringtones from itunes and then synced again, but that one duplicate ringtone won't go away. The file is not in my tones or music in itunes, nor is it in my ringtones folder in finder. How can I delete the ringtone off my phone?

  • HT1752 i deleted my ringtones. is there a way to recover them? i have not emptied my trash...

    I deleted my ringtones thru itunes on my vintage mac desktop. Is there a way to recover them? I had 117 some purchased some I made with my song library. I was having trouble getting them to sync on my iphone 4s after I updated my iphone. I  have never had an issue before. I deleted them accidentally... I have not emptied my trash since and was hoping to get help "finding" the ringtones and putting them back in itunes. Thank  you

    If they are still in your trash click on the trash icon in the dock and drag the ringtones back into iTunes

  • Can't delete default ringtones :(

    I can't delete default ringtone on my iphone5 even on my ipad mini. i purchased it by itunes

    In the iPhone Settings icon you'll find a way to tell it what ringtone to use.  So you can tell your phone to use another one without actually deleting it.
    You delete it in iTunes.  You'll find it shows up in a separate pane as 'Ringtones'.

  • Itunes deleted my 30 gigs of music and I didn't have it saved in itunes or on computer, is there any way of getting music back?

    Itunes deleted 30 gigs of music from my ipod. And I don't or didn't have it saved in Itunes or on my computer....is there any way of getting my music back? Alot of the music was not purchased from Itunes....mostly from cds I dont have anymore! PLEASE HELP!

    If the lost music is no longer on your iPod, on your PC, or in another backup somewhere, you are out of luck.  You can download most iTunes purchases again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more information and assistance.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to redownload or rerip them from their original source.

  • A update to iTunes deleted all my playlists. How do i get them back

    No, they aren't sold anymore. If you have a backup you could restore them from it.

  • Since ios6, itunes deleted all my songs on my ipod and on my computer!

    I have itunes set to organize my library for me. I found that for some reason after ios6 update, when I synced my ipod, all of the music got removed from it. However, at the time, I could still play it on the computer.
    When I looked into the itunes folder, I found that when I played a song on my computer, itunes would copy that song from its original location in the itunes>music> (artist name) folder to another folder it created in itunes>(artist name). In other words, it was moving everything out of the music subfolder into the general itunes folder. Everything that it moved would subsequently sync fine to the ipod.
    So, thinking I had the solution, I told itunes to consolidate my files in my library. Apprently bad idea. It did copy all of the files from within the music folder out into the general itunes folder, but somewhere in the copy, it must have lost the files, because now most of them are no longer on the computer either. When I go to play them in itunes now, there is an exclamation point. Itunes deleted my music and instead, I have folders with artists name, and a placeholder of sorts where the file is supposed to be with a little x over it (Ihave windows 7, btw). Nor are the files in their original folders in the music subfolder. I never touched any of this music manually. I was trusting itunes to do its thing with keeping my library organized and all.
    It did manage to copy about 1000 of them just fine, but all the rest of my music is gone from my computer! I did also restore the ipod, which seemed to sync fine after the restore, but again, because of the now missing music on my computer, obviously those files did not sync. Help. What happenned????

    Reset didn't work at first until I unchecked the 'sych only checked songs and videos' in iTunes, clicked apply and then rechecked it and clicked sync and it worked.
    Thanks.

  • ITunes deleted my songs from my HARD DRIVE!

    iTunes not only has deleted a few files from my library, but it ALSO deleted songs off my hard drive!
    I thought, "Well, maybe they just got moved around somehow." But, I thought about how much I go into my iTunes folder and then it dawned on me that I hadn't done that in about a month or so. The deleting thing started happening about a week ago. It's a few songs a day. Seriously. *?
    I feel like if I'm spending several thousand dollars on Apple's products (computers, accessories, and music), Apple needs to be a little more appreciative.
    If it's a bug in the new iTunes, then Apple needs to be sensitive to the fact that music is LOST permanently! It's frustrating to think about all the music that I've lost and PAID for. If I'm using the iTunes store and iTunes to buy/play music, then Apple needs to come out and apologize and reimburse for what was lost.
    I can understand why some of you are frustrated that iTunes is deleting songs from your library, but is there anyone else who is having music deleted from their hard drive?
    <Edited by Moderator>

    I'm a bit upset, too. It's only deleted one song, but why did that random song go, and when will it happen to 100s of them?
    I have the song on CD and can re-rip it, but that's not the point - it shouldn't go missing from the hard drive.
    I've aleady resigned myself to backing up the ITL library file on a regular basis in case it gets mysteriously corrupted.
    I'm not sure iTunes deleted this song, but it sure is suspicious.

    That statement is utter non-sense & factually false. Fact is, there are complete instructions in Garage Band.

  • HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

    The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

    If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.
