Before iOS 7 I had previous ringtones I made from songs I purchased. Now they will not download to updated version. Says error... Why? Can this be fixed? I want my music ringtones back.
Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help -

My macbook pro will not download or update software. The computer restarts without an update. How do I fix this?
Hello, which exact update is this? Which OSX version?

Mountain lion will not download thru the apps store. It has been purchased and redeemed. I have set my energy settings appropriately so computer will not turn off during download as Verizon offers a connection that is very slow. I have set the display to go to sleep (which I have set so I have to sign in again). When I sign in again, Mountain Lion OSX has disappeared from the launchpad. I have tried this several times. I do have Norton Internet Security on my Mac Air. I turned off the idle time scan on the Norton and tried again. Same results. Anyone?
Ask anyone around here, and they will tell you quite differently. AV software will slow down your computer, can be incompatible with software you use, can cause kernel panics and other problems. It is unnecessay since OS X has it's own protection built-in. AV software can no more tell the difference between safe and unsafe sites on your browser than could an elephant.
But, hey, who am I to argue with your tech person? Please, don't let me sway your opinion. How about a visit to:
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) -

IPhone 4 will not download apps.
iPhone 4 will not down load apps, just freezes. I can still use phone, but get "waiting" logo on app downloads.
So I think I've found the problem AND have a solution...
Well... at least it's fixed my issue!
Having used my phone on another Wifi network I discovered that all worked well... so therefore the issue had to be either with my Wireless Router or my ISP. A quick call to my ISP ruled them out.
So to the Router... I was preparing myself to have to go and buy a new one - but thought I'd try a couple of tests
Firstly I tried to enable port forwarding for port 443 (as app store requires a secure connection/port) - but the router was already configured to enable this.
Secondly, I thought I'd update the router firmware - but it was already up to date.
Finally I restored the router to it's default settings... and strangely the iPhone started working and downloading apps via wifi!
So now the question is - why did it all of a sudden start working? After a bit of looking through the settings, I came across the option "Connection Type" - prior to resetting the router, I was using a PPPoA setting. After the reset, the setting was defaulted to PPPoE.
So with PPPoE all works well. With PPPoA downloading Apps/using secure connections fails!
A quick test to set the router back to PPPoA confirmed this.
So I'm running the router with Connection Type PPPoE and am now very happy!
For reference, I've got a Belkin N1 ADSL Modem Router.
I hope this helps others!? -

HT204266 Will not let me update apps
My iPad shows I need to update 6 apps, when I select it to update it says cannot connect to app store.. But I can get online to get new apps to download if I want.. But will not let me update???
Have you tried closing the app in the Task Bar?
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close the App Store
4. Re-launch and try again -
I do not update apps through my laptop I store the apps that actually have been tested and work on the laptop and test updated apps on the iPhone. After updating the iPhone to iOS 6.0.1 iTunes will not install the apps from iTunes on my laptop to my iPhone without updating the apps online. This is not going to happen from my end and I do not like having control of what MY Laptop and MY iPhone can do seperately forced to be as one. That should be an option of choice not a demand of service.
If anyone has an option like how to reinstall iOS 5.1.1 back onto my 3GS I would love to hear it.
Thanks for any constructive solutions or directions other than here to turn.
I've spent over thirty thousand dollars since 1992 on Macintosh products and I'm on the verge of becoming a Windows OS user based upon this latest Apple tactics of fair use.
iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.0.1
MacBook 10.5.8 - eMac 10.2.8, Mac OS X (10.5.8), MBk 2.4 Intel CorDuo 4GB Mem - eMac 800 Mhz IBM 2GB Mem
One other thing I'm not updating the OS on the laptop; I like the freedom to do as I please with my computer.Unkle Rayne wrote:
I'm running iTunes 10.6.3.
Macintosh has never allowed the user to update and or utilize any app or feature if the Operating System was inadequate to do so. Your answer "iOS 6 requires 10.6.8 to run iTunes 10.7" is ineffective at this point and mute. The update should not have been aloud over Wifi or 3G Network to iPhone without the ability to authenticate resources required or needed to operate both iPhnoe iOS and Desktop OS together.
The issue, as has already been explained is that the version of iTunes on the computer will not work with iOS6.
iOS updates via Wi-Fi have nothing to do with iTunes on the computer and does not care what version is on the computer. Personally, I find it completely moronic to update via Wi-Fi as there is really no option for backup or a restore from backup if the update fails. To me, it seems like a great way for the user to create issues for themselves that do not need to exist.
As there is no officially supported method to downgrade the iOS, the only option left if syncing is desired is to upgrade iTunes on the computer.
I really do not understand why you seem so defensive about updating iTunes. Update iTunes on the computer, then sync the device, if that's what you want.
If that's not what you want, other options include updating apps directly on the device via Wi-Fi or 3G or living with it as is. -
Apps will not download or update on my iPhone 5
My phone says that there are 31 apps available, but if i try to get one to download, i chose install, and then enter my password when prompted to do so. The status of the app goes back to update and does not install. It does the same thing if I try to download a new app to the phone.
After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.
