Purchased ringtone on iPhone then sync'd with iTunes now I can't use it!

Hi,
Hope you can help.
I purchased a ringtone in iTunes on my iPhone which immediately showed up under ringtones in the settings menu. However, when I sync'd with iTunes on my Mac the ringtone has disappeared from the list of selectable ringtones on the iPhone. The ringtone is showing in iTunes under the Ringtones tab in Devices > iPhone and it shows that it will "sync all ringtones" but for some reason is not showing up on my iPhone as a selectable ringtone to use after sync.
Any ideas?
I am running Snow Leopard, iTunes 9, and iPhone 3GS with 3.0.1.
Thanks!

Thanks Luke - I did that and it worked. The iphone is primarily linke to my laptop. I then linked to our shared itunes machine to download some music from our library, that worked fine. However when I link to my machine, I can see the ringtone in ringtone folder, in the purchased folder and in purchased on the iphone folder but I can't get it back onto the phone. I have tried Sync and Transfer purchases, drag and drop and finally tried the authorise again as a last resort but nothing seems to work. Has anyone got any ideas?

De-authorizing itunes? Several of my authorized pc's have died, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

Several of my authorized pc laptops and desktops have completely died over the years, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

Deauthorise all to reset to zero, then authorize again.
Following quote from Apple Support:
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

Iphone wifi syncing issue with itunes 10.7

My wife and I each have iphone 4's syncing on our respective computers running Win XP Pro SP3. After upgrading to itunes 10.7 and iOS 6, itunes doesn't reliably sync via wifi. It will sync once then won't a second time unless the computer is rebooted. If I try and click the sync button on itunes, it looks for the displayed iphone then says it can't find it and the iphone disappears.This is happening on both computers. I can direct connect the iphone with usb cable and sync, but it won't sync via wifi without rebooting. I've click the "sync with wifi" button off then on. Nothing works.
We both upgraded to iphone 5's. It didn't solve the problem. I upgraded my computer to a new desktop running Win 8 Pro. Everything transferred fine and the initial sync went well, but the problem persists. After my iphone 5 sync'd with itunes overnight, the next morning it wouldn't sync again via wifi. Again, trying to initiate a sync from itunes caused the it to look for the iphone and not finding it, the iphone disappeared from itunes. Once I restarted Win 8 and itunes, the iphone showed up in itunes.
It's not the iphones(it happened with both 4's and 5's), the computers(two differnet computers) or, the OS( happens with Win XP and Win 8) so it's got to be an isssue with iTunes 10.7 and possibly it's interaction with iOS 6. We didn't have the problem before 10.7 and iOS 6 (upgraded same time).
Any suggestions? This is annoying to not have these reliably sync without intervention.
Thanks,
Z

Just found another thread that helped...deleted the iTunes Library Genius file and now the Mac can load the library!

I have an iPhone and sync it with iTunes. Just got my wife an iPhone also. Is it possible to have 2 accounts in iTunes 1 for my wife and 1 for myself? I don't want to mess up things like contacts on either phone.

The best is to create another Windows user profile(additional User Account) where each one of you can manage your own account, library, playlist Apps, Contacts etc,

IPhone not syncing properly with iTunes 10.5

Hi,
I recently updated my iPhone 4 to the iOS 5 and also updated my iTunes to 10.5. A few days later I got an error message on my iTunes which said that the library was damaged, it would create and new one and save the 'old' one has "iTunes Library (Damaged)". Shortly after I synced my phone with iTunes and it removed many of my apps and all my playlists and music. I've re-downloaded all my apps, though any pictures, settings, etc saved within them have disappeared. I cleared the music on my phone and re-synced it. Any playlists which were re-synced only actually synced recently added songs (i.e. if a playlist had 20 songs and I added 3 more only those 3 would show up on my phone).
I think all my data, apps, etc are still on the phone but iTunes isn't recognising it; any ideas of how to get iTunes to recognise it?
Thanks!
If it helps or makes a difference, I'm using Windows Vista.

Same thing (?) is happening with my iPhone4. Syncing wirelessly doesn't work at all, and when I connect it to my Mac, sync gets stuck on 'Syncing Genius Data to _____' and under that it says "waiting for items to copy". This is also the case with my iPod Touch 4th gen. Both are on iOS5 and I have the latest iTunes. So I just backup both of them, and then choose the sync button on bottom right of iTunes in the device window. Don't know if it's actually doing anything.
This *****.

Iphone 3g sync problems with itunes 9.2 after updating on another computer

Hello
I have an old mac which will not allow me to update itunes to 10.x. So I have been updating my iphone via another computer (which apple support to itunes 10.x) and my old mac has been able to see it still and therefore I have been able to backup/update it.
However after updating to ios 4.2, my old mac has not been able to sync to it and itunes tell me that I have to update to itunes 10.1 (which I cannot).
Last time I updated, I had to restore my iphone due to various problems (mainly to do with itunes 9.2 allowing me to download the unsupported ios 4.1). I didn't have to restore this time and this maybe what has caused me the problems. Does anyone know whether I can solve my problem of syncing to itunes 9.2 by restoring my iphone and reinstalling ios4.2? Or is ios 4.2 not supported by itunes 9.2 at all and now I need a new computer?
Sorry, I originally posted this in the wrong section.
Cheers for the help

Yes, I had the same problem this time and had email communication with Apple about it when ios 4.1 came out. Apple have made it so 10.4.11 is not supported by itunes 10.1, and so stuck with itunes 9.2.1.
When I had this problem, I decided to update on another computer (as I did this last time). But I didn't have the same problems as before (requiring a restore of my iphone) which I suspect solved the problem I have now.
However, if the restore doesn't solve this, then I have an iphone without any music on it! Or any of the apps as well.

New iphone 5 sync problem with itunes

when I plug new iphone to mac, I am getting this message: The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Have tried to download 10.7 with no success. Itunes has most current update as does iphone 5.
appreciate any ideas

What type of computer are you using (windows or pc) and what version of your operating system are you running?

On my iPhone 5 (since activating with iTunes Match), I CAN NOT see all my music. There are artists that I can not see, nor their songs. BUT I can see them on the iPad3 and on iTunes on my PC.

I can NOT see all my songs on iPhone5 since activating iTunes Match about a week ago!
ALL songs are available on my iPad3
ALL songs are available on my Win7 computer iTunes
I just did:
Transfer purchases from iPhone and a Music Sync
NOTHING. Tunes and artists are still NOT SHOWING on my iPhone5\
BUYING another copy makes it available on te iPhone, but at double the price
However, some show as PURCHASED, so I can't get another copy on the iPhone
There are MAJOR PROBLEMS with iTUNES MATCH!
This problems is ONLY on the iPhone 5

It might take a while (30 minutes or more) for the initial sync to finish.
When it finishes, here's how to see all you desktop bookmarks:
# Press the "Search" button on your Android phone, or tap in the Firefox address bar.
# Press the "Bookmarks" button (with a star icon).
# Tap the "Desktop Bookmarks" folder.

HT201210 I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with prompt to restore, phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and can't use.

I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries

HT1386 iPhone 4S and iPhone 3G Syncing Error with iTunes

I am trying to back up my iPhone 3G so that I can import the new information to my iPhone4S. Every time I try to plug it into my new computer it tells me I need iTunes 64-bit. When I uninstall and reinstall iTunes 64-bit it still doesn't work.
I am trying to use both my new and old computer and am still not able to seem to get it to work. When I plug the iPhone 3G into the old computer I also get an error.
Argh. I also just tried syncing my new iPhone and it reads the same error message about re-installing iTunes 64 bit. I have re-installed at least 5 times already.
Please let me know any advice or suggestions that you may have.
Thanks!

Hi Macafreak,
I'd like to see if unchecking the "Sync Music" box, applying the changes, and then re-checking the box resolves this issue:

I attempted to upload photos from my Mac onto my iPhone, and synced it with iTunes and the upload was confirmed, but the photos are not appearing on my phone?

Please help!

iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If auto play doesn't work on your computer then either fix it, or just manually navigate out to your iphone on the hard drive.
If you don't know how to do the above steps use google.

I've lost 3/4 of my music on my iphone 4s during synchning with itunes and why can i get my itunes' library downloaded on my iphone instead of having to synch with itunes .

help me i've lost 3/4's of my music on my iphone4s while synching and why can't i download my itunes library onto my iphone? i've tried and can't find a way. i've gone to itunes music section and checked off the artist, was that wrong? this working all so well before upgrading to ios6. what's going on?

Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.
