M4r is in "Tones" but NOT in sounds- ringtones

I'm really regretting this whole iPhone purchase thing.
So after hours of reserarch, I finally got an mp3 converted to an m4r. I clicked it and played it with iTunes. I dropped the file into "Automatically Add to iTunes." It made a "Tone" tabe the the file is there. I've syched and re-synched and rerereresynched.
It's not showing up under settings->sounds->ringtones.
Whyohgodwhyhaveyouforsakenme.

Hello bjj8383,
Once you have the Tones section appear on the left in the sidebar, you also need to tell iTunes to sync the tone over to the device, much the same as you would tell it to sync music or movies. In the article named iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296 you can see another tab when the device is selected called Ringtones, it may also be called Tones in the newer version of iTunes
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and click the device button in the upper right corner. (If you are viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.) Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
You can configure the different content types in each tab. For example, Movies under the Movies tab.
To sync, click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen
All the best,
Sterling

IDVD copies the movie but not the sound

Hi,
With IDVD one-step-dvd I try to copy edited movies from a Sony Handycam directly to DVD. Unfortenatly it copies only the images but not the sound. Anybody has the same experience and knows the solution? When I import the movie into IMovie the sound is allright.

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Hi rsample,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Your symptoms make it sound like the iPhone side switch is set to silent mode.
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
Set your device to silent mode
iPhone: Toggle the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device.

When I down loaded some ring tones they show up in my Music folder but not in my ringtones?

When I down load some ring tones I purchased they show up under my Music Icon but not in my ringtones

Where did you download them from? Did you drag them from the Music folder to the Ringtones folder?
iOS devices use MPEG4 audio (AAC) for ringtones. Often these files end with .m4a, but the .m4r suffixe is generally used to denote a ringtone. iOS expects a ringtone to be less than 30 seconds in length and otherwise the only other restriction is that it's an AAC audio file.
You can make your own ringtones simply enough with any audio editing application on the Mac. Just create an MPEG4 audio stream, give it the suffice .m4r, and drag it into iTunes.

How to change tone but not colors?

Hi,
I am a big fan of color fidelity - i.e. of preserving the colors as they were in reality when the picture was taken. I do not like for instance when a red sign in a building looks orange-red in my calibrated monitor. I have taken the steps to photograph the ColorChecker at both temperatures and create a profile with the DNG profile editor. In general, the colors look accurate, but once in a while, for some reason, the color is off (even with custom WB). This is a problem...
A related problem surfaces when I want to change the tone of a picture, be it because it is too dark or too light to begin with...or, a change in the contrast also. I am never sure if I am changing the color when I change e.g. the Exposure, the Blacks, the Brightness, the Contrast slider, the Tone Curve. As to what defines color, I am not even sure what constitutes a change of color: whether keeping the Hue but not the Saturation or the Brightness (in HSB coordinates) is enough to not change the color (at least its essence which seems to me is given by the Hue), or whether I need to preserve the Saturation as well as the Hue allowing the tonal changes to change the Brightness of the color only.
Once I get an agreement about these concepts from other people in this forum, then my obvious next question would be, which sliders or controls in which panels in Lightroom 2 can I use that would guarantee the not modification of color in my images (which might vary with the definition of color)?
It is very likely that I will get responses saying that the color is not defined by only its Hue, nor only its Hue and Saturation but by its Brightness as well. Why did I not consider that as an option to keep a color constant when making tonal changes? Simple: I do not see how I could change the darkness/lightness/contrast of an image if the HSB of each color must remain constant. If I keep all triplets constant in an image, then how can I modify that image? Therefore I have deduced that at least one of each triplets' values MUST be allowed to change and those values are 1st Brightness and 2nd Saturation. Hue, I feel, is one aspect of color that must remain unchanged by tonal manipulations.
So, what are your thoughts on this, everybody?
Thanks,
Juan Dent

hI,
Thanks for the responses -- and I understand your points. However there is at least a scenario where one needs to have accurate color in a verifiable way:
reproduction of art works
reproduction of printed photographs
Agreeing with your comments, how can I achieve the above tasks, accurately? How can I measure my accuracy?
Thanks,
Juan

Able to import a video from a DVD to iMovie but not the sound.

I made a .dmg file from a DVD and was able to import the video to iMovie, but there is no sound. When I click on the .dmg on my desktop it shows two folders, one labeled VIDEO_TS and the other AUDIO_TS. Any suggestions?

Stop one Sound but not all sounds

I have music playing in the background of my animation.
However, once a button is pressed to GoToAndPlay another
frame, I want the music to stop. I can't use StopAllSounds though
because when it jumps to that frame, I have other sounds in place.
What do I do?
Thanks

If you are using timeline sounds, then you can use
stopAllSounds() before you jump to the frame. The key with
stopAllSounds() is to make sure there is a keyframe in-between the
call and the new sound.
In previous attempts, I have called stopAllSounds() then the
gotoAndPlay() to go to the frame before I want my sounds to start
(essentially one extra keyframe with nothing but the visuals, and
the second frame having the new sound). Any sound that starts in a
keyframe after stopAllSounds() has been called will play.
So::
on click:
stopAllSounds();
gotoAndPlay(blankFrame);
on blankFrame:
just visuals, no audio
on frame after blankFrame:
beginning of new audio

I purchased two more tones but not on my phone. when I opened my phone in itunes on computer they show under tones but they won't play. they are faded gray with a dotted circle next to them. How do I get them to be black like my other tones and play

I also have 3
songs that are faded gray to that won't play

I downloaded one of the file explorer programs (iFunbox in my case) for my PC and deleted everything out of the "Purchases" folder on the phone's "Raw File System". After a couple of syncs with iTunes everything was back to normal. It appears that something was screwed up on the iPhone side that iTunes couldn't sort out. I don't think anything could sync from iTunes to the phone, not just the greyed out items.
This is why resetting and restoring the iPhone also works for a lot of people. It's overkill though, deletes your app data, and just wastes your time setting everything back up after the restore. Better to use the surgical approach of a file system explorer program on your PC to fix what appears to be a mundane data corruption issue.

Tones are not working while ringtone works

Phone will ring and alarm clock works. But, any tones associated do not work. Vibrate is how I know I have a text message or email

Make an appointment with the genius bar at your local Apple store and take your credit card with you. It's most likely permanently damaged. An out of warranty replacement will cost you US$149.

Command Tilde works in most apps but not Safari or Preview

Hi
The Command-Tilde command (window-switching) works in most of my applications (Chrome, Firefox, jEdit, Finder, Terminal, Xcode(sometimes), etc.) However,the command-tilde does not work in Safari or Preview. Is there a way to fix this? I find it quite annoying and have not been able to find a solution. I have tried resetting the System Preferences shortcut and that did not work. Uninstalling/Reinstalling Safari & Preview does not seem to be an option. I am not willing to reinstall Lion unless absolutely necessary.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Ringtones purchased from ITunes not going into ringtones section of IPhone4

Hi,
I already looked through previous answers around this topic, but didn't have any joy. One posting suggested creating a ringtone by rightclicking on the item in my library, but the option isnt there.
I purchased 4 ringtones (not music for use as a ringtone) on I Tunes, and sync'd the phone, so they are in my i-pod library - but not in the ringtones drop-down list. I tried dragging and dropping them on I Tunes on my computer, but this hasnt worked either..... help! I am in the UK so I am not entitled to the call-back service from Apple.
Thanks

"I purchased 4 ringtones (not music for use as a ringtone) on I Tunes,"
If this is so, then they should be under the "Ringtones" section under "Library" in itunes.
I think you purchased the song ( sound file) which still needs to be made into a ringtone. There are many free ways to do this.
Google will find them.

Hello dbrookes,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like even though the Mute switch is not on, sounds are not making the, well, sound they should, and the volume buttons make a blank volume indicator appear on the screen that does not show the volume level.
I wanted to recommend a couple of things.
First, I would reset the phone:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not resolve the issue, then you may want to try backing up to iTunes, and restoring the iPhone again but this time do not restore the backup and set it up as new to see if the issue persists without the previous configuration.
Just incase you need it, this article will help with that:

Make sure your own music files are saved in the proper folder (Digital sounds) whether in your memory card or the phone memory, the location should still be:
Sound Clips > Digital Sounds.
If your songs/mp3s are saved anywhere else, it will not show up as a selectable ringing tone.
You can move your songs through File Manager on your phone if they are in the wrong location (Options > Move to folder).
Hope that clarifies it for you.

If you found someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to the post!
