Ringtone icon not showing up in my Itunes 7.4.
Downloaded 7.4 this morning expecting to buy ringtones but the ringtone icon in itunes isnt there. When i sync my phone the ringtones tab is there but i have no way to make my ringtones? Anyone have the same problem or how i can fix it? I Restarted and even re downloaded it and still no luck.
Forget all that talk about even seeing the ringtones in iTunes store. I am getting the feeling that the entire feature once it works will only be for "ringtone enabled" songs purchased from iTunes. Like some kind of DRM or other tech encoded into the track. Meaning that one can not take either a song they already own, or even some piece of music, sound, or perhaps something one even records using say the built in mic on a macbook and then enable their own ringtone from that. Wouldn't that be the whole point? Not to make it so that the only way to get custom ring tones is to buy something. Seems anti-apple's "empowering creatives" mantra to the core.
Please someone tel me I'm wrong, and that this is not a sign that since Apple Computer became Apple Inc. they switched from empowering people to be creative on their own, to make it so the only way people can get what they want is to please Apple stock owners with increased sales, bottom line, etc.

The screen on my laptop has an internal crack so im using my mom's laptop for now. When I connected my iPhone to the computer, I couldn't do anything without syncing my phone which meant everything got erased! I wasn't too upset because I backed up everything on iCloud. Well for some reason, it didn't back up anything and I lost all my media. No biggie. I added most of the songs and apps back. I tried to add the ringtones I've purchased from iTunes but they're not showing up under the "purchased" section of my iTunes account. I don't know why they're not showing up. It's at least 20 ringtones that I've purchased at $1.29 each! Please help!!
I purchased three ringtones on my iPhone 5. They installed quickly and I was easily able to assign them to contacts. The next time I connected my iPhone to iTunes on my computer the ringtones disappeared from my iPhone. They were still showing in iTunes ringtones section on my computer. They showed up on my iTunes accounts page as being purchased too. I tried everything suggested on the forums to get my purchased ringtones to show on my phone again, with no success.
I started trying different things out of desperation and finally lucked upon a solution. I opened iTunes on my computer. Under the Library section I opened Tones (left side of screen same section as music, movies, etc.). When the tones section opened it showed my three ringtones. I dragged the three ringtones to the desktop. I then deleted the three ringtones from the tones menu. It asked if I wanted to delete them from iTunes completely or just from the tones section. I chose to delete them from the tones section only. Once they were deleted From the tones section i went back to the desktop and dragged the three ringtones from the desktop back to the tones section. The computer automatically synced to my phone and VIOLA! the three ringtones appeared on my iPhone again.
Extra suggestion. I have been using an app from the iTunes Store named Ringtone Maker Pro. It takes songs from my iTunes library and converts them to ringtones. It does a great job. There is a video attached that shows exactly what to do step by step.
Hope this helps. -
Ringtones not showing up in my iTunes
The songs that I've downloaded that I know can be converted into ringtones are not showing up in the ringtone column in my iTunes (yes, I have 'show ringtones' selected in the 'view options' folder). When ringtones was first offered, everything worked welll but for some reason, the past 2-3 weeks I cannot seem to get them to show up. Currebtly running windows/office 2007. Suggestions?
pingbrad,
You can try unchecking the ringtone option in the View >View Options and clicking 'OK.' Then go back in and try checking it again. See if the songs update and show the ringtone symbol next to them. If you still do not see a ringtone icon for a song that should be capable, try right-clicking on the song to see if it will allow you to make a ringtone out of it.
Hope this helps,

I updated my phone and all my music, including rigntones went away. I was able to recover my songs under purchased. My ringtones are not showing under purcahsed. How do I get my ringtones back?
I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

Ringtones are not showing in iPhone ringtone folder.
I just bought a ringtone and it shows up in my iTunes ringtones folder, it even shows up in the iphone ringtones folder ON iTUNES, but I can't seem to get the ringtone to show up in the iPhone itself. Anyone know what's wrong? I live in California, so its not that foreign country problem I keep hearing about.
I am having the same problem! I make my ringtones on Audiko.net and download them directly to my iTunes. They play in my iTunes and appear in my ringtones folder, but when I got to sync the ringtones to my iPhone, they don't show up! The error msg says something about not being able to locate the file, yet i can see it clear as day in iTunes, it plays, and when i close iTunes and opem it again, it is still there. I have used Audiko.net before to make ringtones, and have seen that error msg before, but it never caused an issue - my ringtones would always sync. I have it programmed to automatically sync to sync everything in my iTunes, the phone is not jailbroken, is registered and is up to date. Please help! I don't know what to do.

App icons not showing up after downloading?
Why do my app icons not show up on my iPad2? I have purchased the apps on my iPad directly. Also, I know they are there because when I search it finds them and then I can open and run them.
Jennifer-
Could the Apps be on the second page of Apps? From your Home page, wipe across from right to left to scroll to page 2.
If that is the problem, press and hold on the icon. When it starts to wiggle, you can drag it back to the first page. This can also be done from iTunes when the iPad is selected.

The music I have purchased on my IPod are not showing up on my ITunes library on my computer
The music I have purchased on my IPod is not showing up on my Itunes account on my computer, I went to the itunes store on my computer and went to see if I could download a song i previously purchased, but it was going to have me pay again. I have about a hundred songs missing on my computers itunes. It won't let me sync my ipod to it anymore and when I tried to update the software it wouldn't let me. I am completely at a standstill with this.

Then you're doing something wrong. Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on the computer that the content was purchased with?
Did you check the purchase history?

Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?
Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

I bought audio books on my iphone, but they do not show up on my itunes account on my computer. The books I purchased through the computer show up on my itunes account. My phone is at it's max and I need to remove these books, but do not want to lose them. Thank you for your assistance.
This isn't completely coherent so I am not sure what is wrong other than some (al?) of your tracks have broken links.
If you are browsing through iTunes you are not looking at files you are looking at data entries that point to files, with those locations being incorrect right now.
There isn't a file called iTunes media, there is a folder that should be in your iTunes folder called that.
You mention something about external drives. I presume one is for your Time Machine backup but is the other one used for iTunes? If so, what do you keep there?
