Need help syncing ringtones...

Hey guys, I have an iPhone 5 that I sync with my computer for everything except contacts which I sync through iCloud, I just got an app to make ringtones and was able to get them onto my phone no problem, then I tried to add them to my girlfriends iPhone 4S, and it keeps asking me to set up as new or from a back up. I was never able to successfully sync both phones onto one computer without causing problems, actually the last time I tried and got it working I had to create a separate user account for her iphone on the computer which got corrupted to the point that i had to replace the hard drive. So now I leave her phone set up to sync everything through iCloud. I just want to know how I can get these stupid ringtones on her phone without deleting everything.

I think it's because ringtones aren't available on the UK iTunes Store yet. It's only in the US.
There is a method for creating ringtones from your own music in your library - you need to edit it down to less than 30 seconds. There are many threads such as this one:

  • I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox.  On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox.  I can't remember how I set this up.  Any help?

    The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
    You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

  • I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using  Windows 7

    I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
    In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
    Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
    I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
    I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

    You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
    You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
    This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
    You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

  • HT2480 I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my Iphone. when I delete an email on my computer is it still in my inbox on my phone.  Any help is appreciated.

    I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my iphone.  When I delete an email on my computer it is still in my inbox on my phone. Please help.

    Your computer is probably set up to access your Yahoo mail using POP3. POP3 does not synchronize with the server. For full synchronization, you will need to use IMAP instead. See the Yahoo mail help pages for instructions on how to configure your mail client.

  • Needing Help w/ Ringtones

    i just want a cool ringtone---why is it so hard?
    i bought a ringtone from itunes & downloaded it, but it will not sync to my phone.
    can anyone help?
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Ok just to be sure.
    In iTunes you bought a song and then also bought the ringtone. In the ringtone buying process it edited the track to what you wanted and then bought it.
    Just asking as some people think buying a song with a bell next to it is all you need to do.
    After that did it show up in your "Ringtones" menu item?
    Then in iPhone tabs when connected, you said to sync it?
    Just trying to cover all the bases.

  • Need help syncing new ipod touch to Itunes.

    I recently bought a brand new Ipod touch 5th gen. I have the latest update for itunes, I want to start syncing music to my Ipod. My computer will not bring any info for this ipod touch into itunes. I had a 4th gen and I know that I seen on the right hand corner, under the search store, there should be a little icon with your Ipod below. No where is my Ipod been found. Every time I plug the USB cord into the computer, I don't see anything come on the screen. All I see is the battery charging on my Ipod. I'm getting frustrated with this Ipod not allowing me to get any music. What am I doing wrong? I also don't see any summary pane for me to reset to factory settings and start all over. how can someone help me on this? I tried turning on and off both the Ipod and computer, nothing, still the same and no Ipod is to be found on itunes.  PLEASE HELP!!

    Just what version of iTunes do you have? For a 5G iPod/iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.. If you have a Mac yo need OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    Does the iTunes still see the 4G iPod?
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Need help syncing iCal and Outlook 2011 (for Mac) THANKS!

    QUESTION: How do I sync iCal and Outlook up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    I just bought an iPhone. I am trying to get my phone and my MacBook Pro synced up through iCloud.
    I realize that I need to have Outlook 2011 and iCal set up for syncing for this to work.
    I did this at one point, and it resulted in all of my ALL DAY appointments being duplicated in Outlook, iCal, and on the calendar on my phone - and iCloud sending out duplicate invitations to events.
    Then, I turned syncing between iCal and Outlook and deleted all of the duplicates in my Outlook.
    Of course, because I haven't set up Outlook to sync with iCal, iCal and my phone's calendar have not changed. There are still duplicates there.
    How do I sync them up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can be!
    Cheers!

    My iPhone 4 was working fine, synched with Outlook 2011 on my iMac 11.02 through iTunes. Calendar changes also appeared in iCal, even though I don't use iCal - I only use Outlook. Last week I was prompted to update Outlook, which I did successfully. Today, I plugged the iPhone into the iMac to synch and suddenly all Calendar and Contact items are gone from the iPhone and in iCal on the iMac. In iTunes, the option to synch with Outlook in the Info tab ("other") is greyed out. What happened? Why can't I synch the iPhone anymore with Outlook? All the Calendar and Contact info is still on the iMac in Outlook. Help!

  • Need help Syncing audio/music from my computer with Vista to my Palm Centro....

    When I use Windows Media Player 11 that came with my computer and attempt to load/sync music from the computer to the Centrol into Ptunes v4.0 I get an error message on the computer screen stating the version I am using is not compatible.  I have also tried Windows Media Player 10 and it also states not compatible.
    Help, I need a fix.  Anyone able to help me?
    kd302
    Post relates to: Centro (Unlocked GSM)

    Hello kd302 and welcome to the Palm forums.
     I don't use Windows Media Player, but I was under the impression that to use WMP 11, you needed to upgrade Pocket Tunes on the Centro.
     The NormSoft knowledge base can be found here.
     I would use the check for updates feature in pTunes on your Treo to see if there is an update available for your install of pTunes 4.x.  To do this, open pTunes, and select Menu > Help > Check for Updates...
     I'm running version 4.0.7 on my Treo 755p and I know that version 5.0 has been relesed for Palm OS devices.

  • Need help syncing Tones from mac to iphone!!

  • Need help assigning ringtone to contact

    I have followed all the instructions regarding assigning a ringtone to a contact, but when that individual calls, the phone uses the default ringtone. How do I get this to work?

    help helpArrays in Java are static, meaning their size cannot change once they've been created. Somewhere in your code you need to declare the String array like this,
    String[] costumer = new String[10];Now customer has 10 elements (room for 10 strings) and you can do for example this,
    int z = 0;
    costumer[z] = "string1" + "string2";This means the two strings are added and assigned to element 0 of the array.
    If you can't take it from here you need to step back for a while and carefully study a beginners textbook on Java.
