Newbie to "i" everything Help

Just downloaded some songs from iTunes - They show on iphone and Itunes - However when I try to make 1 song into Ringtone it says it's not autorized to play on my computer - but it does play - I'm very confused - Help please

moonstruck1008,
Have you tried deauthorizing your computer, then reauthorizing it from the Store menu?
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
If that doesn't do the trick, try the steps in this article:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Finally, if that doesn't work I'd try reinstalling iTunes completely.
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

    Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
    Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
    This page might help you out...

    Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.

    However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.

  • MY ITUNES WILL NOT OPEN- I'VE TRIED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING HELP ME PLEASE!!!

    I am so depressed and angry..My beloved Itunes is not opening. I get the error report: "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down sorry for the inconvience"
    I've tried the misconfig option,uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes, rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling quicktime, i did the delete temp option,just about everything I've tried- please to anyone who can help me, give me your solutions please I'm begging you- I never been so lost with out my ipod/itunes...
    ANything you guys know that may help is fine..I'm in need of help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OK, I've been messin with this for about 4 hours now, I finally found the solution to my problem and would like to share in hopes of helping. Every time I tried to open itunes I recieved this error message:
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
    Please tell microsoft about the problem.
    We have created an error report that you can send to us. We will treat this report as confidential and anonymous.
    <send error report> <don't send error reptort>
    I sent the error report ... and eventually got this link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302372
    Which basically lays out my whole problem - and I did all of the suggested steps but still...
    same message... same problem... and no solution.
    I came to the mssg boards and tried all these suggested steps that are on this post to no avail. Reinstalled everything over and over. Then I found this:
    for itunes 6.0.x, the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch, or does it give you an error message?
    try a careful standalone QT 7.0.3 reinstall.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    I went and downloaded the standalone quicktime, installed it. Opened the quicktime program to make sure it worked, which it did, then tried itunes again.......
    WALLLA IT WORKS!!!! Finally
    hope this might help, good luck.

  • Can't connect to the music store - tried most everything - help!

    When I try to connect, itunes says it can't and asks me to check my internet connection. Same thing happens when I click on check for updates. Radio works fine. When I put a music CD in my PC, itunes gets the CD info. FYI, Quicktime won't go to update site or bring up launch video. Says that sever is unavailable.
    My PC is an HP P4 2Ghz, 256M ram, XP home SP2. All windows and HP software and firmware are up to date. All other communications work fine.
    Here is everything I tried:
    Disabled Viruscan, Disabled Zone Alarm, checked that XP firewall was disabled. Connected directly to my cable modem (Cox is the ISP). I don't use a proxy server and checked to make sure none was configured
    Used MSCONFIG to disable everything but itunehelper and qttask (left all Microsoft services running) - still couldn't connect.
    Called Cox and asked if they blocked any ports. They explicitly said that iTunes does not use any ports they restrict.
    I uninstalled and installed itunes and quicktime about 10 times, in all combinations. I even used the stand alone version of quicktime - no change. I made sure all privacy, virus and firewall programs were disabled when I uninstalled in installed - still can't connect.
    I am able to see the html script when I go to itunes.com/version.xml. I can ping phobos.apple.com and dns reports the IP address as 69.44.123.17. I can ping that address. I have upgraded to the latest itunes of 6.04 (my ipod came with 6.02). My ipod connects fine to itunes and gets the music I have loaded from CD's.
    I even tried turning on UPnP in XP. This made no change. I can see packet activity when I try to go the the music store, or when I click on check for upgrades - but I can never connect. My PC appears to be authorized, as I have the option to unauthorize - but I can't do this because I can't connect.
    FYI - my daughter's laptop can connect to the music store. She is running the same OS and version of itunes. I set that system up and it is no different from my desktop.
    I've exhausted my PC knowlege. Anything I missed?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd Gen suddenly freezes PC and I've tried everything, Help!

    In the past few days, my iPod Shuffle 2nd generation suddenly started to freeze my computer moments after it syncs new music onto it or is plugged in for awhile. I've tried everything to find out why it's begun doing this. Here's what I've tried:
    - I recently updated to iTunes 9 around the time it began freezing, and thought maybe that was the problem. I completely uninstalled it and installed an older version. Didn't work.
    - I reformatted and reset my iPod to factory settings. Didn't work.
    - I've done many complete virus scans on my PC. It didn't find anything.
    - I've synced the iPod with another PC to see if it would freeze it. It didn't and works fine elsewhere, leading me to believe there's some software issue going on.
    I've checked many forums and read many stories about similar issues but nobody has a concrete answer. I don't have a free Customer Service call left with Apple. Any body have any ideas?
    My computer stats:
    - Windows Vista
    - Plenty of free space
    - HP Pavillion notebook
    - iPod Shuffle 2nd gen
    - Currently using iTunes v. 8.2

    Still no solution here, even with the help from Apple's tech support team. The first person I spoke with was the most helpful in knowing about this issue. He guided me on how to cleanly uninstall iTunes (all 6 components) and then reinstall. He said the Apple Mobile Device Support Assistant has been causing issues when updating and sure enough, I looked at the date when I updated to the latest iTunes, it was the exact date when my computer began having the freezing issue. Unfortunately, this didn't work. I completely uninstalled the iTunes again, and tried installing an older version. Didn't work.
    I called Apple tech again today, and the person felt there was a conflict issue with other programs, so he sent me a guide on how to use msconfig to figure out which program could be doing that. Again, that option didn't work and iTunes froze again.
    I really, really, really agree with the first Apple tech support person I spoke with that iTunes' latest version is the issue. It's no coincidence that the problem began right after the update occurred, but now I'm left with two iPod devices rendered completely useless since whatever was installed onto my PC in the latest iTunes has glitched up the system.

  • Initial load of Leopard not enough RAM - locks everything - HELP ME PLEASE

    I am given options: "OK" or "Restart" - I have tried both options with no success. At this point I just want to eject the installation disc, but everything is locked. I tried turning off and back on about 15 times, it always just starts the load process from the beginning and repeats the same message: "This computer does not have enough RAM. For Mac OS X system requirements, see the "Read before you install" document on your Mac OS X installation disc. Choose: OK or Restart.
    Please help me, PLEASE!!! Thank you very much.

    What about trying a PRAM reset for the blue screen thingy ??
    "PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys."
    And what about using TARGET MODE, if you have another mac, to install Snow.

  • Newbie needs scroll bar help

    Hello anyone,
    I am fairly new to flash, I am using the MX version. I am
    having trouble getting my scroll bars to load with the page load?
    The bar shows up, but it does not give the option to scroll. If I
    click off the page and return to it then the slider is there and it
    works, but not on initial load. I have tried to set the action
    script run on load but this has not worked. I am a little confused
    and any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Also as an aside issue, can you load images into a text
    box?

    am I on the right board for this type of question? I am not
    very knowledgable in action scripts, but I have been trough the
    tutorials and I bought the action scripts for dummies book, however
    I have done everything that they say to do and still can't get the
    bars to work right.
    any help or redirection for help somewhere else would be
    greatly appriciated.

  • Newbie Here..plz help

    newbies?im plannin on makin an two-way audio conferencin site..

    thanx in advance

    10% of total build cost? So if you spend £1000 on a system you should spend £100 on the power supply? I spent just over half of that on my Tagan. I hear what you're saying mind... I good power supply is vital, the amount of people I've seen spending £10 on one just because it's 600W is unbelievable. Not their fault mind, the industry should explain WHY the rails and brand name are more important, they don't though. I wrote into PC Gamer a few months ago asking them to explain this to the greater public, and they gladly obeyed.

  • Newbie here I NEED HELP!!!!!!! 750 (former sprint

    HI all I am a newbie I have been trying to figure out how to get pictures off my treo without having Sprint service. I bought a data cord and downloaded sync4.5. For some reason I am not able to get synced up with my computer which is running XP home edition.
    I don't have the original disk that came with the phone, do I need that disk? if so I am screwed.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    I am located in Elk Grove Ca. if anyone is near that can help.

    Does Windows recognize the 750 (i.e., does plug-and-play detect the device)? Does ActiveSync start up, even if sync does not work? In that case, you could try using the Explore button of ActiveSync to copy files from your Treo to your computer. Sometimes you can drag and drop, other times Ctrl+c and then Ctrl+v in the new location works better.
    (I've only used a Windows Mobile 6.1 device, but hopefully the 750 supported the Explore feature...)

  • Hi newb here , Can anyone help with Port Forwardin...

    Hi guys
    Newb here on Broadband Option 3 .
    New to the world of BTorrents ( hope thats not a dirty word ) and just need some help on Port Forwarding with the Curved Blue Voyager ( latest one I think )
    Problem is I can't seem to upload anything back and obviously I dont just wanna leech all the time lol
    Thanks in advance
    H

    First of welcome to BT Community Forums, although your in the help with speed/connection issues section and bit-torrent is nothing to do with BT but i'll still try to help.
    downloading a torrent file is one thing but just because you download does'nt mean you need to upload anything if for example your downloading something with say 100 seeders and 15 leechers then you may find that you dont upload anything or very little, thats nothing to worry about at all.
    Or
    If you've made a torrent and cant figure out why its not uploading it may be due to the fact you need to upload the small torrent file to a p2p site in order for others to see it.
    Hope this small insight into the world of torrents helps, but i dont know what else to tell you on this subject.
    Kindest Regards

  • Newbie ~ Need iWeb / movie help ~ PC's having problems

    Hello, please bear with me, I am a newbie. I am using iWeb to create a site for family and friends to keep up with my kids.
    www.jimcreighton.com
    or
    web.mac.com/creightonfamily
    I have recently tried my hand at a small movie clip. When I go to the site I see it just fine. When I use my sons PC, using IE, I see it fine. However I am getting lots of emails from frustrated grandparents and others that they are either totally unable to see it at all. (A white "box") or they are able to see the screen but when they hit play, they get sound only.
    Is this an issue on my end? Or on thier end?
    Please remember that I am a total newbie at this, so be kind in your replies! Thanks in advance for any and all help.
    G5 iMac, G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Those that get a white "box" and sound are using older versions of QuickTime.
    Ask them to download QuickTime Player version 7 from this link:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Once they've installed version 7 they'll be able to see your movie.
