My iphone 4 wont play ringtones on itunes

my iphone 4 wont play ringtones on itunes as it says i need to be running an iOS 5.0 or later. i tried to update my phone but itunes says my phone is up to date with version 4.3.5? Any ideas? this has just happened today (12/10/11) The ringtones i alread have play fine on the phone.

I believe you have to make the ringtones in iTunes for them to work. Not sure if they are mp4 format as that is what works on the iPhones.

    My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    So i fixed it by converting each song to a AAC File or whatever. Made a dulicate song but it works, just right click on the song and hit convert to aACC File.  For one album I had to right click view in apple store and hit download on the songs that were skipping.

  • I connect my iphone to my laptop and my iphone wont open to my itunes HELP!

    i connect my iphone to my laptop, and my iphone wont open to my itunes!
    help !!!

    Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

  • My IPhone wont play sound

    My IPhone wont play sound. Works fine in a dock, but once I pull it out it stops playing. It wont play music or ring. It will only vibrate.
    I know the speakers work because it'll play for two seconds then stop playing once out of dock.

    No I did not this is with the switch on "on"

  • My iPhone wont play sound without headphones in

    My iPhone wont play any sound without headphones in the volume
    Buttons work but won't change sound my speaker won't play any sound at all

    i had the same problem and used a very small screwdriver, inserted carefully into the heaphone socket, to very gently push the microswitch at the bottom of the socket. i did this a couple of times and suddenly the sound works again.
    i think the button down there can get stuck and cause this problem, or maybe it was just a fluke... try it anyway- it worked for me!

  • HT4528 iphone wont play sound acts like its plugged up.

    wont play ringtones or music acts like its hooked up to a ihome or cord.

    So the sleep button only works intermittently? That sounds like the switch is about to fail. This isn't that uncommon... If you go to
    settings -> general -> accessibility -> assistive touch
    Turn this on and you will find a translucent little doo-dah appears. In this under device there is an option to set your phone to sleep. It's not the best solution but at least you'll be able to lock it when it does fail completely.
    As for your sound problems, it may be that the mute switch is broken, make sure vibration is set to on and give it a wiggle. Your phone should vibrate when you set it to silent and an icon should also appear momentarily on the screen.
    Also, I'd check your settings as headphone volume and speaker volume are set independently of each other.

    *Playing HD-quality videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor*

  • My iPad and iPhone wont connect to my iTunes Library.

    My iPad Air and iPhone 5s wont connect to my iTunes Library on my Macbook Pro.
    Both will see the library and try to connect but as it reaches 1/4 of the way it stops.
    If I turn off my iTunes Match on both devices, the full library loads on the iPhone only. I can go into the library and it will play. Does iTunes Match have to be turned off?
    On the iPad, it shows the that shared library is connected to but it wont allow me to move off that screen. It freezes. I push the home button and it closes. I can reopen but it is no longer connected to the library. I cannot get further than this.
    My Apple TV works perfectly connected to the same library.
    I dont have more than 5000 songs in my library or more than 10 movies and 300 + episodes  of TV series.
    Any ideas to what could be causing the issue with the iPad?

    Forgot to mention. Have tried obvious things like rbooting Mac and iPhone and iPad with no success

  • Issue with playing ringtones in iTunes with Windows 7

    For some reason I am having an issue playing ringtones I've created via my iTunes library. It keeps prompting me to authorize my computer so I can play the ringtone in iTunes but my computer is already authorized (I run Windows 7, iTunes 9.0.3 and only have the one computer authorized). I deauthorized the previous computer the library was on when I purchased the one I currently use and haven't had any other issues. Despite not being able to play the ringtones in iTunes, they transfer and play on my iPhone and all other purchases in iTunes are playing as well. I've tried the various troubleshooting tips listed on this site (i.e. changing user account settings, de-authorizing then re-authorizing etc) to no avail.

    I have the exact same problem, on a MacBook 10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.3. I went to the genius bar, and reported the problem through the iTunes Store. After some boilerplate troubleshooting recommendations, I finally got a response that "ringtones will not play in iTunes, they will skip over them".
    This is definitely not how it used to handle ringtones, it is unclear to me if they are saying this is a bug, or an intentional deprecation of iTunes' function. I would recommend staying away from iTunes created ringtones, self made ones still preview fine in iTunes.

  • Single song wont play/add to itunes

    Just recently a song wouldnt play when I played it with itunes..after messing around with it trying to fix it i removed it from the library and the .mp3 file wont even add to the itunes library now. Im using vista and ive checked all the security problems and such..It is a song i used to play frequently so im stumped as to why it would randomly stop? If i double click the song it will open itunes but will not play and does not add it to the library. Any ideas?

    Sure thing bro, no problem. I assume your running Windows 7 or 8? So for me I had to update the iphone drivers.
    First, open Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound then devices and printers look for your apple iphone under the "Unspecified Devices" tab, Right click on it, choose properties, after that you'll choose the hardware tab to the right of the box that opens. When you click on hardware, choose properties again toward the bottom. Then you'll choose settings, after that you should see the Driver tab, 2nd one. Click that and choose update driver, then browse my computer for driver software, after that you'll want to navigate to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and click Ok. The driver should update and all should be good after that. Matter of fact, here is the article i used. Good luck dude!!

    Hello Katie_5SOS
    Check out the article below to go through some troubleshooting steps to get your iPhone to show back up in iTunes. It could be related to the Apple Mobile Device driver or could be a third party software conflict.

  • I have over 9000 songs and over half wont play in my itunes how do i get them all to work

    I have over 9000 songs in my itunes and over half of them wont play how do i make it so that all of them will play and i have  a windows 7 os installed

    You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
    There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.
