Problem syncing ringtones from old iphone4 to new iphone4.

I got a new iphone4 and I'm having trouble getting all of my ringtones to sync. When I plug the old phone (also an iphone4) into my laptop and bring up itunes, it shows all 58 ringtones under "on this iphone", but only 22 of the tones show up under "tones". Those 22 tones are the only ones that will sync because the other ones won't show up. Help?

I backed up my iPhone 4 calendars & contacts to iCloud, and realize what you're saying, wjosten...if I keep this OS 10.5.8 computer, I will never be able to get my calendar back onto this computer unless I jailbreak the iPhone to roll back the operating system so the two can sync. Because yes, I realize iTunes 10.6.3 will not sync from iCloud.
Makes one wish apple might consider being a little flexible w/unalterable updates for cases like these where updating OSs and versions of software is not good for the customer, and without warning. I wouldn't have ever updated my iPhone to OS 6 if I knew it would mean I could no longer sync my iPhone and my $3500 still pretty super fast, quite capable, worth keeping, older 2008 Macbook Pro.

How to transfer ringtone from old iPhone 5 to new iPhone 5s

Connect the old to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library, and you can then connect your new phone and sync it to it via its Tones tab

Syncing iPhone from old PC to new Mac

maybe the answer to this question is the same as if my new and old cpus are the same, but here it goes:
i had a PC (HP laptop) for 2 years to which my iPhone 3G was synced. smartly, i just purchased the new Macbook Pro. i would like to sync my iPhone to the Macbook. do i simply transfer all my iTunes files to the Macbook (via an external harddrive)? it is my understanding that i will have to manually sync the songs back on to the iPhone, is this correct?
also, how can i transfer the applications purchased via my iPhone?
many thanks.

You're welcome.
After transferring your iTunes library from your old PC to your Mac following the instructions included with the link provided, when connecting your iPhone to iTunes on your Mac, the same selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your PC should be selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your Mac.
Basically, I have 120 G of music and picked and chose about 14G for my iPhone. Is there a way to make that sync automatically or will I have to manually sync each song back onto my iPhone?
Does this mean you have been manually managing music and videos with iTunes on your PC? If so, when switching from manually managing music and videos to syncing music, movies and tv shows will erased all music, movies, and tv shows from your iPhone first. You can accomplish the same with iTunes playlists. I have a primary iPhone playlist in iTunes for my iPhone where the majority of all music I want available on my iPhone is placed along with a number of other iTunes playlists I have created and chosen to be transferred to my iPhone. Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes you can choose sync selected playlists, artists, and genres. You can select your chosen iTunes playlists, artists, and genres in the windows below followed by a sync.

Transfer iTunes Library and iPhone Sync data from old iMac to new Macbook Pro

Hi,
I bought a macbook pro in September last year, previous to this I had an iMac. This has all my music and iTunes stored on it.
Is there a way to transfer my iTunes over to my new Macbook Pro and sync my iPhone as if my phone thinks it's the same computer, so I don't have to restore my phone or set it up as a new one.
Thanks.

Yes.
Simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

Problem Transferring Photos from Old iPhone to new iPhone 5S

The old iPhone was backed up via iTunes Backup on a Windows XP PC. Most everything (apps, music, books) were copied to the 5S via iTunes, but only 1/2 the photos (approximately 700 of 1600). But when attempting to restore from the backup, iTunes says there is not enough memory. Further, unless de-selected, iTunes syncs photos from the My Pictures folder.
The old phone shows 2.4 (of 16) gig of storage available. The new 5S 3.4.
So, is there a way to get all the pictures moved over, in iTunes, the Cloud or otherwise? Can the photos on the old phone be synced to iTunes to then be synced to the 5S?

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Import the photos from the Camera Roll on your old iPhone with your computer. You can place all photos in one folder on your computer or create multiple photo albums or folders for select photos.
Under the Photos tab for your new iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the newly created folder or folders or photos that were imported from your old iPhone followed by a sync to transfer the photos from your computer to your new iPhone.

How do i sync music from old imac to new iphone?

I synced Handels music cd to old imac and nano. Then I bought new imac and new iphone. Never did migration. The new iphone is synced with new imac. I lost the Handel cd and I wanted to get the Handels music onto my new iphone. I want to transfer handels music from old imac (or old nano) to new imac or new iphone. Is this possible?
Thanks for any input.

You cannot transfer it directly to the iPhone, but you can copy the music to the new Mac. If they are on the same network you can drag the folder containing the music from the old iMac to the desktop on the new Mac. Then on the new mac drag and drop that folder onto iTunes in the dock bar. If they are not on the same network copy the folder to a data CD on the old Mac, then put the CD in the new Mac and drag the folder from the CD to iTunes.

Syncing contacts from old email to new email on BB Tour

I would like to have the contacts I entered on my phone that synced to an old email address sync to the new email address I now use on my BB. All the contacts I have entered since setting up the new email address have synced under that account but the old ones still say "Synchronize using: [email protected]".
Is there a quick fix for this or will they forever be synced to my out-of-date account?
Thanks for the help!

An easy way to do transfer your contacts is to download the free app My Contacts Backup. Run this app on your old phone to backup your contacts as an attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself and open it on your new phone, tap the attachment and import your contacts.

Unable to sync apps from old iPad2 to new iPad3

I have a new iPad3, upgrade from iPad2.
Both the old and new iPads were issued by my company.
I have TWO PCs and TWO appleIDs:
1. The first PC is my work computer (Win7, iTunes 10), where I use my work-issued AppleID to sync with the company-issued MobileIron configured profile. This worked fine, all is good. Works great, no problems.
2. The second PC is my personal computer (Win7, iTunes 10), where I use my personal AppleID to sync with my personal AppleID to pick up my music, apps, etc.
On my personal PC, I keep getting the dreaded "We could not complete your iTunes request. The network connection was reset." I know this must be common because I find many posts about it, but most are several years old. I've tried several suggestion not on apple.com and none work. Network connections are fine, as you can see because I am posting here from my personal PC.
I was able to sync music and all loaded great onto the new iPad3. When I try to sync apps, it tells me the computer is not authorized. When I try to authorize again, it gives me the same error.
My frustration is this worked GREAT on my prior iPad2. I was able to sync with both PCs and both the work and personal AppleIDs and bounce back and forth between the two any time I needed to do so.
My company IT department says they have not changed anything in the MobleIron config that should prevent this from happening, and other employees do it with no problem.

Hi,
Is this resolved now? I am facing similar problem and would appreciate if you could help

Syncing iPhone from Old to the New Computer

My operating system crashed last 2 weeks. That was the OS my iphone syncing with itunes. I recovered my music and videos from it and then when I reformat my laptop I put my songs and videos on the same directory as my old laptop's music and video directory. today I plugged my iPhone to my newly reformatted laptop to delete all the music but when I went to the "iPhone name" > "music". due to reason that I can't delete or even add a new music into my iphone I check the "Sync Music" checkbox and asked me "Are you sure you want to sync music? all existing songs and playlists on the ''iPhone name' will be replaced with songs and playlist from your iTunes library". So I clicked the "Sync Music" and hit the "apply" button on the lower right part of iTunes. After clicking the button I received another confirmation shown below...
My question is this..
If click the "Erase and Sync", what kinds of contents iTunes will erase? I'm afraid it might also erase my apps. or even my contacts.
any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

HT201272 Problem with app from old phone to new phone

I had to get a new iPhone 5 and downloaded my existing apps through iCloud. However, one of the apps from my old phone was upgraded and I paid a yearly subscription fee. When I received my new phone and downloaded this upgraded app, my new phone did not recognize my paid subscription and now is prompting me for another upgrade. How do I get this phone to recognize my upgraded app?

back up your old phone using that
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
erase your new phone, by going to settings general reset -erase content and reset all settings
connect to your mac and restore from your back up.
Do not sync contacts, since your mountain lion has contacts of your husband.
Verify, that you use separate icloud accounts. Do not sync anything with itunes (including your apps and music) until you sign in to your own icloud account, after you verify that you have your own contacts on the phone.

Need to sync Apps from old Ipod to new Iphone on different computers

I have apps on my old Ipod touch that I want to put on my new Iphone. My Ipod is synched to my PC, but I want to sync my new Iphone to my Macbook Pro. I also want to put the old apps on my Ipod and put them on my Iphone. What should I do?

Sign into the Apple ID used to purchase them on you iPhone (in Settings>Store), then download the apps as past purchases directly to the phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Prior to syncing with your MacBook Pro, disable automatic syncing in iTunes (iTunes Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"). Then connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar, right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer the apps to your iTunes library). You will also need to authorize your computer for this Apple ID in iTunes (under Store>Authorize this computer) in order to sync these apps to your phone.

Problem transferring tunes from old pc to new pc

Harddrive died, need to get my sync data from old firefox to new

So far all methods of getting data off the drive as failed, otherwise I'd just rip the app data out of it....
The real issue here is that I had about 30 tabs open, and a ton of important bookmarks I added recently that i didnt get a chance to backup manually. I figured firefox sync would work but so far it hasnt done anything. I must be doing something wrong. I think it might've actually overwritten my sync data with my blank one..which would be freaking terrible, years of important data is on that account. This whole process was really confusing and none of the tech support topics on here have helped.

I know it's not meant for backup, but then there should definitely be a warning added in the situation I described above. When you click "I dont have access to the other device" " It should give a warning saying "Your sync data will be overwritten" or something like that. The instructions and such were not written well for this situation.
Is there absolutely no way to extract the data from my android? I've been looking for 3rd party solutions to no avail so far. And since you didn't answer it before, I'm guessing a rollback to Dec.24th on my sync-data is no-go. I still have the original sync key if that would make a difference at all on your end.

How to sync music from old computer to new and add music

I can see all my music in the library, but since I got a new computer, can't add the new music I just bought and download to my shuffle.

Hi clcaldwell46,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have signed into your Apple ID and are seeing all of your purchases on your new Windows 8 computer. The reason you may not be able to sync is because although you can see the music and stream it, it may not actually be located locally on your computer. Please use the attached article as a reference and for steps to download all of your purchased music to your iTunes library.
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Download previous purchases on Mac or PC
Make sure your Mac or PC meets these system requirements:
iTunes 10.3 or later
You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.
iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
iTunes Store
     1. Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
     2. Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
     3. Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
     4. Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
     5. Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you will see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
     6. Click the Download icon next to the item you want to download.
If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
Have a great day,
Joe
