Problem syncing ringtones

When I first set my phone up, I chose not to sync mail accounts and other information. Now I would like to sync my ringtones. However, when I click on the "sync ringtones" box in the Ringtones tab, I get a warning message:
!http://img.skitch.com/20090713-sth4ct56u58k98xxgbur3djar.png!
Why? Why can't I just sync my ringtone without erasing my music and video?

its only happen if you are using different iTunes or laptop etc.. you sure u are using the same itunes that has all your movies and tv shows etc....

  • 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.

  • I bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working

    i bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working.
    I saw cidya aap so i m not sure if it was jailbroken or not before but it is back to normal settings.
    My problem started when I tried to sync my music files. I pressed 'sync' all it says is waiting for sync start, preparing to sync and then waiting for the changes to be applied. but it does not sync at all.
    I found a way to sync my music files through autofill but I really wanted to sync ringtones but its not syncing and I really wanted to put ringtones in my phone please help.

    If you see the cidya app, your iPhone is hacked with the cutsie term for this being jailbroken. This also means all the built in security has been removed making the iPhone as insecure as an android device.
    Restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to get rid of that hacking garbage. If the iPhone has hacked to be unlocked, the iPhone will no longer be unlocked when doing so.

  • Cannot Select Both "Manually manage music" and "Sync ringtones" for iTunes

    iTunes won't let me sync when both "manually manage music and videos" and "sync ringtones" is checked. If I choose "manage music and videos" first, add my music, then check "sync ringtones" all my music that I sync'd is deleted. The only way it worked for me was to sync the ringtones first without any music in the iPhone then checking "manually manage music and videos" afterwards but the problem is that once the "manual manage music and videos" is checked the "sync ringtones" isn't checked anymore so if I decide to add a ringtone later on I have to check "sync ringtone" causing my music to be deleted from the iPhone. This is a bad glitch Apple please fix it!

    If you manually manage music, to get ringtones on your phone, you have to drag them to the "actual iphone icon" in the device pane window, on the left side in itunes.
    FYI:
    Since the iphone DOES NOT support disk mode(like some ipods), there is no advantage to manually managing music, IMO.

  • Unable to sync ringtones or music to phone

    My phone will sync all contacts and apps but when I try to sync ringtones or songs I get a message that says my phone is synced to another library. I have itunes authorized on 2 computers but I have never tried to sync to one of them. This problem started after getting my phone replaced under warranty and updating to ios4 and itunes 10.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only regardless if more than one computer is authorized with the same iTunes account.
    If this is the same computer you have been syncing your iPhone with for iTunes content, all iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on this computer. Your iPhone will be erased of all music first, but this should not prevent you from re-transferring your selected music from the iTunes library on this computer to your iPhone.

  • No "sync ringtones" tab

    I have just got an iphone 3g and desperately want to select my own ringtone. I have successfully created ringtone files, and they appear in the Ringtones section of my library in itunes. BUT I cannot drag and drop them onto my iphone. Nor do I have the Ringtones tab to sync between the two. I have checked ringtones in Preferences, but I still do not have the tab. I think maybe the latest version of itunes doesn't allow this....?
    .....which still leaves me without any decent ringtones. I have looked at various apps to create ringtones, but will I face the same problem when I come to sync them?? How do I get around the no "sync ringtones" tab problem?
    Thank you

    For those of yous that have mac;
    1.) pick the you song by highlighting it.
    2.) click file.
    3.) click get info.
    4.) click options tab.
    5.) check start time and stop time and put in the numbers where you would like the song to start and stop.
    6.) click ok
    7.) click advanced, on the very top of the tool bar.
    8.) click create AAC version.
    9.) drag the new shortened part of the song to the desktop.
    10.) then drag the new shortened part of the song from itunes to the trash can.
    11.) click remove.
    12.) click keep file.
    13.) go to the icon on the desk top and at the end of the name where it says .m4a erase the a and put in a r.
    14.) then move the mouse and click on a blank part of the screen.
    15.) click use .4mr
    16.) it should then show up in your itunes.
    17.) drag it to your iphone, on the side tool bar.
    18.) then the ringtone tab should appear.

  • I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

    I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

  • I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account "iCloud" failed." Been to Apple - no luck. Ideas?

    I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
    I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue. 
    I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
    I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
    Many Thanks.

    Progress Update.
    I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone.  I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
    Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted) 
    Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
    Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
    As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio.  The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
    I then went to bed as the restore is a long process.  When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up.  Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
    This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
    I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
    Here are the lessons learned.
    DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
    DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
    DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store.  (I did both :-(

  • I have had problems syncing on my Windows XP computer and yesterday I got my laptop back with a virus removed and was able to sync.  Then I updated the operating system to 5.0 and now the restore won't work.  Please help!  I got error code 50.

    I have had problems syncing my iPhone 4 and my iPad on my Windows XP laptop.  My computer had a virus and spyware, but is now fixed.  I was then able to sync both phone and ipad, but when I tried to update to ios-5.0, the update worked, but the restore would not.  Now I don't know what to do with my phone.  Is there a way to get the restore to work, or should I set it up as a new phone.  I have lots of apps, etc. that I do not want to lose.

  • Problems syncing my ipod touch 4th gen

    I am having problems syncing my ipod touch 4th gen to itunes.  I keep getting an error message stating iTunes could not back up the iPod "name of ipod" because an error occured.  My daughter and I both use the same computer to sync our ipod's and this problem only occurs when I try to sync mine.  It works fine syncing hers and I have tried to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it.  Please help

    Try placing the iPod backup file in a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new file.  It is located here:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • Problems syncing my iPod Touch after I updated to iOS 8.1

    Hi,
    Yesterday, I tried to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes. It was taking a considerable longer time then it generally takes. Finally, it said there not enough room on my iPod, but I should have had  more than enough... I had about 5 gigs available. After I began taking music, videos etc off, I found out that the other content was taking up about 30 gigs. I ended up resetting the iPod. Now it's having problems syncing music, movies & tv.

  • Problems syncing photos from iPhoto

    I am having a big problem syncing phtos/albums from iPhoto to my iPad2. 
    for some reason I have an album in iphoto that only wants to sync half the photos, the ones that I actually had to edit a little, all I did was rotate the pictures, but those ar the only ones that want to sync.  I've quit out of iphoto, shut off the ipad and rebooted, and still when I sync none of the other photos in the album show up.  I even clicked off the " sync photos from iphoto" box and cleared all the photos and then reloaded every photo again and still only the "editted" photos show up in that one particular album, all my othr albums are showing up with no problems.
    So... is this an iTunes or iPhoto issue?????  I came here because i am using iTunes to sync

    problem solved using this thread...

  • Problems syncing apps with 10.3.1

    recently i have had problems syncing app updates on my ipad since i updated to 10.3.1. i did a restore on the ipad thinking that there was a problem with the operating system. it froze during the restore and every time i tried after that. i was able to restore on a different computer with an older version of itunes and was able to sync apps from that computer. i tried to sync apps again on the origional computer and when i do it takes an hour for them to all load on but at the end i get an error that says some of the apps in your library were not installed on the ipad because one or more errors occured.  i have reinstalled itunes several times and also reinstalled the apple moble device drivers. every time i trie to sync apps i use a new back up file so there would be no corrupted files. i have also gone to apple and they gave me a new ipad. please help i dont know what to do.

    i have downgraded to versio 10.2.2 and i still have the same issues. I have also tried deleting then redownloading the apps to see if a new version will correct the problem however i have had no success. please tell me every idea that you might have to fix the problems i am having.

  • Problems syncing, iTunes says iPod is synced to another PC

    Hi,
    As stated above I'm having problems syncing my iPod touch 5G. It's been a few months since I synced and backed up to my PC but when I connected the iPod to iTunes yesterday, after doing an initial sync, it warned me that the iPod was synced to another computer and that I would have to delete everything in order to sync with this computer (which I've been using for 18 months now with no previous problems when connecting to iTunes; my old PC no longer works so that isn't an option). I noticed after this happened that Music, Photos, and Books were not set to sync, but they had been previously, and I haven't changed anything other than update iTunes to v.11.4, since last backing up a few months ago. I also updated the iPod to v.7.1.2 yesterday too, so could this have any bearing on the problem?
    Also I have 9 books which were purchased on the iPod from the iBook store, these are not yet showing in iTunes, and there is no option to Transfer Purchases from iPod to iTunes. If I try to turn sync on in the Books tab, I get the same message as above.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received, Thanks!

    From that message it appears you did not restore from backup on this computer/iTunes library.
    I just updated/restored my two iOS 7/8 devices that were previously synced to my old computer and they are fine. I had to agree with the option to make this the syncing computer.
    With regard to the Backup I selected this option from File/Devices in iTunes, and then restored from that backup, having already synced a few times with this iTunes library, or so I thought!
    Are you saying I have to allow all files to be removed in order to re-sync with this computer? I'm happy to do this but worried I'll lose my app data. I'm away for a few days now, so won't be able to sort this until the weekend, many thanks for your replies, they've been a great help!
