Purchased Ringtones gone after iOS5 install

I had purchased some ringtones from itunes months ago while using iOS4 and now they do not appear in iOS5. In iTunes my phone shows a ringtone directory with my purchased ringtones, but the iPhone itself does not show any. It only has the defaults. Any help?

Im not sure how you can recover ringtones but for future use you can make ringtones for free now, http://www.ehow.com/how_5352779_make-ringtone-using-itunes.html gives you steps on how to do it.

Ipad2 old emails gone after ios5 install

Last night I installed the new version of IOS5 on my iPad2 and I have now lost all of my previous emails. Has anyone else experienced similar things or found a fix for this problem? Thanks

Regrettably, Apple doesn't preserve saved emails retrieved from POP accounts through major iOS version changes. I lost a bunch of saved emails too.
Do you also check your POP account with another email client? I'm going back and finding copies of all the important emails on my Mac's Outlook client, and then forwarding those same emails back to myself so I can once again retrieve them on my iPad. It's a pain, but it works -- if I have a second copy saved on my Mac.
Maybe one of these days I'll switch to an IMAP email provider....

My husband had the same problem with some apps after I updated his iPad 2 to iOS 5. I checked the app store and there were updates for the apps to support the new software. After updating, all apps work just fine.

SMS ringtone problem after ios5

Hello everyone
I've been facing a SMS ringtone problem since ios5. When i recieve a SMS or imessage, it rings sequential twice or even more. (Just like when you recieve two sms at the same time)
If I restart my iphone, this problem disappears for sometime. It comes a while after, though.
Is it a bug or something? It's really annoying.
Thx in advance

Solved.
I've restored my iphone and set it up as a new iphone. I haven't been facing this problem since restore. Do not forget to restore it "as a new iphone". Do not backup from old.
Some tips for "restoring as a new iphone"
-iCloud would be helpful while getting your apps.
-Saving your camera roll photos to the pc then mailing them and saving them back in iphone can make your photo album as the same before.
-There are some free apps that can help you to back your contacts up.
-Change your iPhone name after restore. Otherwise iTunes may automatically backup from old.
Good Luck.

RingTones I purchased was removed after iOS5 update! Thanks APPLE!

I purchased 3 ringtones in Nov and downloaded them to my phone, all is good. Then I get a message that there is an update. I am a good apple customer so I update my phone with the iOS5. Then I noticed my ringtones have disappeared. I can see the ringtones in my library under tones. I can see the tones when I click on my device when linked to my computer. I can play the tones in the library under tones. I have tried to sync the phone a million times and the tones will not go back on my phone. Technical support wants to charge me $30 to tell me how to get my $5 dollars worth of tones back. Anyone have an idea?

I have done all of the above. The custom tones I got back working after changing the tone under the contacts and back to the one I wanted, Only problem is now my purchased tones don't want to work they show under sound control and play but when assigned nothing.

All apps and purchased upgrades gone after upgrading to iOS5.

Well, Apple, you've really Microsoft-ed this iOS5 upgrade.
After upgrading iTunes, then my iPad to iOS5, I lost all the apps and app data from the iPad.
I restored the apps by clicking on all of them in iTunes and Syncing iTunes and the iPad.
This probably did more harm than good, because now the original back up was overwritten with a bad back up.
After reading the forums, I thought I could restore my data and purchased application upgrades, however, nothing changed.
Can I get back to the original backup and selectively restore the application data?
I love the automatic back up feature, but, don't blast away previous back ups. Also, let us decide what to restore to the iPad.
Argh.

The same thing just happened to me and I was ticked!! All is well now though because this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) worked for me! YAYAYAY! Click the first "download previously purchased apps" and follow directions. It's annoying because you have to go back into the app store on your iPad and redownload every single one individually, but at least it works! I was not about to go repurchase them all. After this, I will backup from iPad into iTunes since they got lost in the iTunes update.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Purchased ringtones disappeared after Transferring to computer

I just purchased 4 ringtones from my iphone4. Afterwhich, I hooked it up with iTunes and clicked 'Transfer purchases'. Of the 4 ringtones, only 1 is listed in my iTunes Ringtone and Puchased folders. The 3 are also gone from my iphone.
I've never had issues with Transferring purchases. I can't understand why only 1 purchase moved to the computer AND stayed on my iphone. Where did the other 3 purchases go?
Please help! Thanks.

I have same issue. I have done the checklist from iMore website -- all techniques do not work. I followed the steps, but the "remove and sync" does not appear. I also did "restore from backup"; still did not work. The ringtones were NOT restored on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.1).
Apple will have to do another update to fix this issue and refund the purchase.

ILife gone after clean install

My computer came with iLife 09' for free. I installed Snow Leopard as a clean install and now it's gone. I know I should have thought of this before I did a clean install but now I'm out of luck. Is there any way I can get a copy of iLife 09' if I can give my order number and verify that I am the owner of my computer. iLife has become part of my everyday life and I really don't want to buy it at the Apple Store.

iLife is on the original install discs that came with your computer.
The version on those discs depends on when you purchased the computer. If you purchased a copy of iLife '09 and lost the disc, you may be able to get a replacement.

IPhone 4 - All Data gone after iOS5 update

My coworker has an iPhone 4 but her home computer doesn't have a version of iTunes new enough to update the phone to iOS5. I installed iTunes and backed up the phone on her work computer and when I went to updated it to iOS5, everything was gone. Apps, contacts, pictures... everything! I had this problem with my own iPhone 4, so I restored from backup and all was well. However, when I tried with hers, it says there was an error (-50) and asks me to continue the restore and I say yes, but nothing.
There are 4 backups in my backup folder, but even when I used iPhone Backup Restore, it says there is no data in the backup. Are my backups corrupted? Is there any way to recover data?

Apps and music are not part of the backup process. They should already exist in the iTunes library of the machine it's being updated from and are synced back at the end of the update process. Unfortunately, since the update was done on a different machine, that didn't happen.
If your co-worker didn't have a late enough version of iTunes to update the phone, that also means she won't even be able to sync the phone with her computer.
Why doesn't she just download the current iTunes? Then she can sync her stuff back. Unless, that is, she has a Mac running a version of Mac OS X older than 10.5...
