Ringtone is not showing up on my iphone4 when i drag and drop.

Hi
I am having a problem with ringtones.I have gone through and made a custom ringtone. I tried to put it into itunes and sync. But when I did that itunes wanted to erase all the music and movies off my phone. I drag and dropped it into my iphone 4. it shows up in the ringtone section of itunes. But I cannot acess it. it remains a grey colour. My phone doesnot reconize and no acess through iphone general >soound etc.
I dont know what to do? I have not read any problem as mine. I am hoping this is a simple fix that i dont have to delete and reinstall all my music on my phone.
ps- I know the ringtone works . I plays in itunes.

Hey khdewey,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod touch being recognized in iTunes on your Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
1. Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
2. Install software updates on your Mac.
Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
3. Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
4. Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
5. Restart your Mac.
Additional Information
In rare circumstances, your device may be recognized after reinstalling iTunes, but after you restart your Mac, the device may not be recognized again. If this happens and you're using Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, please follow these steps.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

    hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

    I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

  • Hi,  This was not what I meant.     The requirement is:      Drag and drop any one of specific list

    Hi,
    This was not what I meant.
    The requirement is:
    Drag and drop any one of specific list of components say x, y,z in the parsys
    Only after the drag and drop of these components other components can be dragged to the parsys. So we can say that the parsys should allow only the specific components to be added first and only after that other components can be added.
    Thanks ,

    Hi there
    I'm guessing that you mean to ask if one is able to force a user to perform a drag-and-drop as part of a simulation?
    Unless you program it in Flash or some other application it isn't avaiable. Check the link below for more.

  • Photo won't show on cover of Iphoto Calendar after dragging and dropping

    Every year I create a calendar on Iphoto and I have always been able to troubleshoot everything myself.
    This time, I am stumped. The whole calendar is ready to go but for some reason, the photo I added to the cover will not show up. I am using the same photo later in the calendar without a problem. In fact, when I hover over the picture it tells me that is being used on the cover and on page 11...but I can't see it!
    The title underneath the photo will only show when I click on the text box. Once I click away from it, it will disappear.
    Anybody? Christmas is approaching fast and I need to get this into production ASAP to mail to Europe.

    Hi HeyBayLondon!
    It sounds like you may want to try restoring your phone and then re-syncing the content from your computer to see if the information will show up after that procedure. Information on doing that can be found right here:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software

    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • I am not able to transfer pictures from my Iphoto file to my external hard drive.  When I drag and drop to the external hard drive, I get the universal circle with a line through it.????

    For some reason, my computer will not let me drop my pictures from the Iphoto location to my external hard drive. 

    The drive is formatted for Windows. To write to it from a Mac, you will either have to reformat it or install third-party software to enable writing to an NTFS volume (not recommended.)

  • On Lion OS why do new icons not appear on the desk top either from drag and drop of scanning onto

    There seems to be an error on Lion OS which I installed recently. If you drag files onto the desk top they disappear. However, they can be found in finder. If you scan direct to the desk top they also do not appear. Is there a bug?

    Sounds to me like you have a corrupt plist file.
    First thing I would try would be to simply relaunch your Finder and see if that sorts your problem.
    >ForceQuit>Finder>Relaunch
    If not navagate to com.apple.desktop.plist and delete.
    Finder>GO>(option Key)Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    or in Finder shortcut ( ⇧⌘G) copy and paste:
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    delete the com.apple.desktop.plist
    Relaunch your Finder again. 
    The deleted plist will rebuild itself to default setting after Finder relaunch
    Report back on your sucess or failure.

  • When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

    When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
    Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

  • Itunes not moving past "preparing to update" while manually dragging and dropping music files

    Hello there. I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 7.1. After the update, I noticed that I cannot transfer music to my phone by dragging and dropping. I though it may help if I upgrade my iTunes to the latest available version from the Apple website. That didn't help either. When I go to the "Apps" tab and drag and drop anything from the Windows Explorer to the apps, it gets added. It's only getting stuck at "Preparing to Update" when I add music from within iTunes library. If I disconnect during this sync and reconnect later, the songs do no appear in the phone but appear in the "on this iphone" tab as grey colored and cannot be played.
    Any help wuld be appreciated.
    Thanks. LD.

    I have the same problem than you guys and I can fixed it just deleting the ebooks that I had on my device. I deleted them from iTunes on the device books list in my iphone. Presumibly some epub file was either corrupted or broken. I've got the idea and the possible reason from "twerppoet" at http://www.ipadforums.net/threads/help-my-itunes-are-taking-forever-to-update-fi les-on-ipad-when-i-transfer-ebooks.60436…

  • NamedViewCriteria not working when drag and dropped as filtered table.

    Using JDev 11.1.2.1.0.
    I'm attempting to use NamedViewCriteria more and more because, well ... I keep reading it's the way to go. But I'm encountering an aggravating problem. I can't get them to work when I drag and drop as a filtered table onto a page. They work when I apply them in a managed bean, but simply dragging and dropping will not trigger the NamedViewCriteria to display the filtered items correctly.
    Creating a where clause manually works fine.
    Manual Where Clause & drag and drop ViewObject from data control
    (:pBpKey is null or upper(BP_KEY) like '%' || upper(:pBpKey) || '%') AND CinderBusinessPartners.BP_TYPE = 'C'NamedViewCriteria & drag and drop from ViewObject's NamedViewCriteria from data control
    ( ( (CinderBusinessPartners.BP_KEY LIKE ('%' || :pBpKey || '%') ) AND (CinderBusinessPartners.BP_TYPE = 'C' ) ) )There are three problems:
    1) The query pulls back all items. It doesn't retrieve only where BP_TYPE = 'C'.
    2) It is case sensitive. i.e. Enter in A will not pull back the customer Wal-Mart because Wal-mart contains lowercase a's.
    3) If I set the table's "Show Filter" attribute to true, the filter has the text "\*pBpKey\*" filled in by default. uhhh What?
    In the NamedViewCriteria's "UI Hints" tab, I have the "Query Automatically" checkbox selected.
    Any ideas why the NamedViewCriteria isn't "just working"?
    I'll be back with pictures after the break.
    Will

  • Drag and drop not correct size

    In PSE 12 when I drag and drop a 4.8 in square image onto a 8.5x11 blank page (Both at 300 ppi) the 4.8 image does not show as small, it fills in the larger page.  What am I doing wrong?
    HELP!

    Drag the image from the Layers palette to the work area, not up from the Project bin.
    You can try File>Place as well.

  • Mail "New Message" window retreats to background after drag and drop attachment from Finder to Mail "New Message", click, and Finder window stays in foreground even when not in focus

    Hi, I'm surprised I can't quickly find if anyone else is having this issue. For me it has been going on since Lion on my 13" MacBook Pro 2011 and it's still persisting in Mavericks, and even still now that I've "downgraded" to a 15" MacBook Pro 2010 with Mavericks.  The behavior is odd and difficult to explain concisely. Basically, when I want to add an attachment to Mail, I'll Cmd+Tab over to Finder click and drag and Cmd+Tab back to Mail, and drop the attachment. At first it looks fine, but when I click in the New Message window where I just dropped the attachment, to move the cursor, it retreats to the background and the Mail Main Window comes to the foreground. Then, if I click on that, the Finder window that I just used comes to the foreground. Sometimes if I switched to another app before going to Finder to select the drag and drop, that other app window will appear in the foreground instead. If I click on the other app window that is now in the foreground, then the Finder window that was last used will come to the foreground. The only thing that seems to fix this switch-a-roo effect is Cmd+Tab-ing back and forth a few times, or click on the window "frame" at the top to move the window around.
    The way to prevent this is to have my Mail Message window visible in the foreground side by side with the Finder window when the drag and drop occurs (this is a tedious extra step if mulitple windows are open, or to use the add attachment command in the menu within Mail. But it sure is annoying buggy behavior.
    Thanks

    Yep, I get exactly the same thing when using Thunderbird mail client on my 2011 iMac running Lion. I've been putting up with it for at least a year, maybe longer.
    For me it appeared to start after a Thunderbird update, so I figured that was the cause and couldn't find a solution at the time. However I've now noticed it starting to happen in Apple Motion 4 when dragging files from Finder into a DropZone in my animations. Motion remains the active program but the Finder window sits on top until I Cmd-tab out to a third open program (ie not Finder) and back to Motion again.
    This is the first indicator I've had that it's an OS X issue.
    Be great to find a solution as D&D is by far my preferred way of adding attachments to emails and similar tasks.

  • Drag and drop not working in PE 12, MacOS 10.7.5 (Lion)

    I "copied" the icon for the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor to the dock.  When I drag and drop a photo icon (example, JPG or NEF) to the Elements Editor icon in the dock, nothing happens -- Elements does not open.  The photo icon just "pops" back to the folder I was dragging it from.  Every previous version of Elements that I've used behaved like any other Mac application and opened the photo (with an NEF file, the photo opened properly in ACR).  Other Mac applications like Preview open a file just fine when it I drag and drop the file on the application icon.
    I tried the same experiment with both the Editor and Organizer icons in my Applications folder and got the same results (the application did not open the file).
    I skimmed through the PE Preferences to see if there was some kind of new preference for "drag and drop" behavior but didn't find anything.
    So, what am I missing?  How can I get PE 12 to open a file when I drag and drop a photo icon onto the Editor (or if I really have to, the Organizer) icon?

    Drag & drop works fine for me on 10.9
    You have possibly copied the wrong icon, The application is located in Support Files.
    Applications >> Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 >> Support Files
    Locate Photoshop Elements 12 Editor inside the Support Files Folder.
