No ringtone icon for all my purchasaed songs after 8.0.2 update today

what in the world is going on with itunes?? I've never had a problem in the last gazillion years with this application until today. First it started with my purchases not all being downloaded today, then I started getting 'this computer not authorized' in all my music, then I upgraded to 8.0.2 which got rid of the authorization issue, but now none of my songs I purchased can be turned into ringtones except for songs I just bought last week and none of my music is showing the ringtone icon so I cannot tell what can and cannot be turned into a ringtone until after I try it and get told to logon with the account I used to purchase the track from, then agree to an agreement, click on the song again, wait for it to check itunes, only for it to tell me that it cannot be converted to a ringtone. this has been **** today... and all because I was just trying to update my iphone to 2.2. I never got to do it. after all this i probably won't.

Same problem here. After updating to 8.0.2, no ringtone icons. Anyone have any thoughts?

  • My iTunes account says that it cannot locate the original file for all of my songs.  My iPhone still has all the music and is able to play the songs, if I sync and backup my iphone will the songs be replaced with the empty copies from my itunes library?

    So basically I tried to back up my itunes library to my external hard drive and when I followed the instructions and then went to play a song it said Orginal file cannot be found. It said that for all of the songs. I'm not sure how to fix what I did, I already tried consolidating and all of that stuff and it didn't locate the files.  I'm guessing that I somehow deleted the original songs along the way.  I synced my iPhone without knowing what I did and surprisingly all of the music is still on my phone.  So now that I've completely screwed up my iTunes account, I need to know how to get all my music back onto my iTunes account and have that library only on my external hard drive, not my computer. Everything looks fine on my iTunes besides the fact that it cannot locate the files but what I'm afraid of is me syncing and backing up my iPhone and then being left with no music because it syncs to the empty songs.  How can I fix this? and if I can't fix my iTunes library is there anyway for me to still be able to backup my iphone and all the music on it, without erasing my music?

    Well I'm not sure if I correctly backed up my itunes library because when trying to open itunes from that back up it keeps saying original file not found. Okay this is going to sound confusing but bear with me.  I "backed up" my itunes, meaning I just dragged and dropped the iTunes folder into my external hardrive, and then I changed the destination on iTunes to open from my external hardrive.  It was working fine when I did that, however I did that just on my own, I didn't know about consolidating the files or any of that so I hadn't done that before copying the folder to my external hard drive. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I deleted the iTunes folder after I had copied it to my external hardrive. So I did that and it was working fine, I was able to open my itunes with my external hardrive.  BUT yesterday I thought that I hadn't done it correctly because I didn't consolidate the files and all that, so I wanted to be more thorough and do that, I followed the steps to do that but when I did that I think it got all the files from my computer and not from my external hard drive so it basically didn't find anything on my computer because I had deleted them. And like an idiot, I replaced the iTunes folder on my external hard drive (the one I did correctly the first time), with the one I did wrong. So I believe I pretty much deleted all the music files from both my external hard drive and my computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
    I believe getting all my music back on my itunes is a lost cause. BUT I still have all my songs and stuff on my iPhone. My question is, if I plug my phone into my computer and sync it, will it erase all my songs from my phone? A little more info, my iTunes still has the names and stuff of all my songs, they just can't be played because the files are missing, my iPhone doesn't need to erase and sync when I plug in my phone because it's already synced to my computer. What I'm afraid of is when I plug in my phone to backup and sync, will it erase my music because it can't find the files on my computer or external hard drive anymore? Or will it just leave the songs because they're already there (on my phone) and only sync the new songs that I've downloaded? I just need to know is my iTunes still going to be functional as far as me being able to backup my phone?
    I have a lot of songs purchased from iTunes but a lot (like 60%) are from CDs that I no longer have. So re-downloading my music would only account for 40% of my library.

  • How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

    Hello All,
    I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
    Thanks

    C:\users\All users
    JS
    Hi,
    I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
    Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
    Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
    Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
    Thank you.

  • Automatically generate thumbnail image icons for all pix and vids...

    hello,
    i've searched around on the forums a bit about making the icons of my pics and vids actual thumbnail images made from the picture or the first frame of the video.
    a lot of responses are mistaking this question for "how do i put the window into icon view?" this infact is not the answer that i suspect a lot of windows converts are looking for.
    windows automatically makes such icons for all pix and vids if you put the window into icon view.
    i notice in at cmd-j or in the window preferences there is a checkbox for "show image preview" or something like that, but despite this being checked, my pix and vids do not show an image preview. i'm gathering that this information does not exist in the resource fork which mac uses to organize photos.
    is there any script or addition i can make to my system to automatically generate icons for pics and vids of all types? how to i suggest to mac that they add this functionality into the next release?
    thanks for your time,
    max

    The Finder will create icons "on the fly" for nearly all graphic type files (jpegs, tiff, psd, and so on) and display them in both icon view and column view, provided the appropriate view preference has been set. Movies will just have the generic movie icon in icon view, and have a "live" preview in column view, ie you can play them in preview mode. If you want to add a permanent thumbnail which will display in all views, and whether or not the preference has been set for a particular folder in Finder, you'll need to add a thumbnail to the file. There are lots of ways to do this for static pictures, even rather clumsy ways to do it for movies, but the easiest thing is to get CocoThumbX:
    http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/
    Drag and drop both static pictures and movie files onto the application and a permanent thumbnail is created. Indeed, it will create cool thumbs even for things like PDF and HTML files (code or rendered display). For movies to get a thumb, they must be in a format that QuickTime can read. It has a set of preferences for just how you want the thumb determined (eg random or at a certain time), and you can drop batches of movies or even folders to have it assign thumbs to multiple movies at the same time. It is a way cool piece of shareware.

  • No Ringtone icon for New Soul

    I purchased the song New Soul from the iTunes store. It had a ringtone icon associated with it in the store but when I downloaded it into my library the icon was not there and I can't make a ringtone out of it. I know you should be able to because it is listed as one of the most popular ringtones.
    One possibility for the problem is that I bought the song from iTunes on my iPhone and then synched with my iTunes library.
    How can I get it so that I can make a ringtone from that song. I paid for the song...I should be able to.

    Same problem here. After updating to 8.0.2, no ringtone icons. Anyone have any thoughts?

  • Only one ringtone works for all contacts despite them having separate rings

    I have 25 rings (is that too much?)
    And 33 contacts. The majority of them have their own ringtone.
    However, despite me assigning them a ringtone-- only one tone (the one assigned under "Sounds" plays for all of them.
    I didn't have this problem before.

    You said you did not have this problem "Before", before what? What changed?
    33 is no too much, I have 50-60 or so, w/o issue.
    Try Resetting the iPhone
    Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time. Hold them both until you see the screen go black and the white Apple logo appear. When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.
    I have not seen this issue before, so basic troubleshooting may help.

  • Fast user switching menu - how do I have icons for all users?

    I'm setting up a new computer for three users. I have enabled the fast user switching menu. I set the menu to 'Icon'. However, it only shows the icon for myself, the admin. For the other two accounts, when they log in it remains as their (rather long) real names. The same thing happens if I select 'Account Name': it only shows the 'Account Name' for myself. When I switch to the other users, it is still their real name.
    How can I have icons (or account names) for ALL users??

    See CCK Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
    You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • ITunes reset all the plays for all my purchased songs!

    I jsut looked at my iTuens library today and realized that it reset all the data for all the purchased sogns from the iTunes Store since the beginning of time! All my plays, everything - it has all been reset to zero, as well as if I changed the album name or title...it has all been changed back!
    Why in the world has this happened and how do I get it back?! I can hardly stand the though of losing all this data forever!!

    copy your entire iTunes folder to your new computer
    copy your iPhoto library or other pictures folder to your new computer
    copy your contacts to your new computer
    You can use an external drive or thumbdrive for the transfer.

  • Exclamation point appearing beside songs after the latest itunes update.

    Good Afternoon,
    After the latest Itunes update songs in my the majority of my songs in library now have an ! beside them.
    The songs in question appear to be ones that I have brought over from my older devices (downloaded from CDs), I know how to transfer music from my I-pod to I-Tunes and I have had to do this is in the past when I got a new PC however I don't want to go through the process of re-transferring these songs from my ipod back to my itunes again.
    However If I have to go through this process again is there a way to cement these songs into my I tunes library and will not disappear again after the next update?
    Thanks

    Hello bigboza,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    Have a nice day,

  • Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

    Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

    There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
    I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
    If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.
