Ringtone not synching

i have purchased a ringtone off of itunes and it's showing up under my library as a ringtone, so i know i did that part correctly. after synching to my iphone, the ringtone is showing up in my ipod but it's not showing up under settings...sounds. nor can i attach it to a contact (because it's not appearing as an option). any advice?

I'm having a similar problem. I bought the song, then created and bought the ringtone, and it's showing up on my computer, but when I try to sync it to my iPhone, it says it didn't sync because "you are not authorized to play it on this computer." Does anyone know how to authorize an iPhone, if that's what it means... Because the computer is authorized.
EDIT: Nevermind. This thread helped me figure it out.

Ringtones not synching

Hello!!!
After the 9.2 update my ringtones are not synching to my iPhone even though I have it set to. It actually removed 3 from my phone but still list them in my library. Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix? I am wondering if the iOS 4 update will fix.
Thanks!!!

I'm now having the same issue. My update came through today and now three of my ringtones are said to be too long after they previously worked.

After updating to iOS5 my personal ringtones will not synch.

not sure why my personal ringtones will not synch with 3GS iphone after upgrading to iOS5. The ringtones are still shown in iTunes. But NO personal ringtones shown on phone.

Do you have the settings to sync the ringtones automtically or manually? If manual, then you have to drag them from your ringtones list in iTunes onto your iPhone icon.

Contacts and Personal Ringtones not working correctly.

I have an iPhone 3G with the latest OS. Since I have upgraded to the latest OS, I have had problems with my contacts when I receive incoming calls. On some of my contacts, I will not see the assigned photo or hear the assigned personal tone, it instead shows the wallpaper and plays the default ringtone. But on other contacts I will see the correct photo and hear the assigned tone. The same contacts are affected by this so it is not randomly changing which contacts are affected. I have checked my sync options and I can see the info in my google contacts and I have completed a hard reset. Nothing I have been able to find in the forums has helped so far. Any ideas?

When your iPhone is plugged into iTunes, go to the Ringtones tab and make sure the radio button is checked that will synch all ringtones. Synch your phone and they should be back.
Hope this helps.

My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop

I've been trying to do this for a while, it shouldn't be too difficult i think.
All i want to do is synch all the content on my laptop with my Apple TV (and vice versa) so all the content including photos and home videos is the same on both my Apple TV and my laptop.
Some points:
There's enough hard drive space on both
I'm using Windows 7 ultimate on my laptop
The correct port exceptions have been added to Windows Firewall
I have purchases on both my laptop and Apple TV from the iTunes store
We're using a wireless network and it while it's possible to get them both cable wired, it would be a pain
Home networking is set up in iTunes on my laptop
I've set up my Apple TV to synch (not stream) with my account on my laptop
Both iTunes and Apple TV are up to date with their downloads
I think that's it - am i missing anything, or should this now just work?
Cheers
David

As per the question, really...
"My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop"
There's no error messages
Only the films i've bought on my AppleTV appear on my AppleTV
It's been synching for over 4 hours and hasnt got past the first film and the progress bar is not moving

Blackberry calendar not synching with Outlook

Hi guys,
We did 2 upgrades and now some black calendar are not synching naymore with outlook.
Here's our setting
We had Blackberry Enterprise server professionnal 4.0.17 or something like that we upgraded to Blackberry server Express 5.0.3 MR 1 (Bundle 19) for Exchange server
we had Microsoft Exchange 2003 and we upgraded to 2010
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Version 14.1.218.15 with service pack installed Update Rollup 5 SP1 and Update Rollup 4-V2 SP1
The issue is with some Blackberry device when you add something to the Black Calendar it's not showing up into Outlook calendar.
I tried to removed every cical ligne into the services book and resend the service book from the blackberry server, had no luck
I tried these steps :
On the BlackBerry smartphone, open the Calendar application.
Click the Menu button and click Options.
Set the Wireless Synchronization option to No.
Click the Menu button and click Save.
Set the Wireless Synchronization option to Yes.
Click the Menu button and click Save. Turning wireless calendar synchronization on and off will reset the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
Create a calendar entry in Microsoft Outlook and verify that the entry wirelessly synchronizes to the BlackBerry smartphone.
no luck too..
I don't know where to look at now have you any hint or clues

Hello guys,
here's some new information I tried / double checked...
I make sure that Options > Advanced Options > Default Service > is set to Desktop no facebook or something else configured on the device
I'm thinking of doing this.
we can try a forced reload. Before proceeding you need to be
aware that these steps will erase the device calendar and load a fresh copy from the server. On the device open the Calendar > press menu > Select Options >
Type RSET (nothing will appear as you type) > Then when prompted select Yes to erase the device Calendar and load a fresh copy from the server.
this would really be my last option because our employees that are having the synch issue had added some important stuff into their calendar related to their job and this information is only available on the blackberry calendar...
thanks for any advice you have about this issue.

Ipod touch 4th gen not synching?

When I tried to synch my ipod it told me that there were 3 apps I could not synch to my ipod because they werent compatible. I have used these apps forever and they just started this. The apps were ibooks, tumblr, and aviary photo editor. I think it said something about my ipod being out of date or something so looked to see what version my itunes and ipod were and I noticed that my ipod and my itunes were not up to the most current version but every time I clicked update it said it was up to date. So i went on the site and downloaded it from there and somehow finally got my ipod up to (6.1.5) and my itunes to (11.1.3). But it still kept saying the apps could not synch to my ipod and meanwhile new songs that I downloaded on my ipod werent synching wither. Si I said screw those apps all I care about are my new songs synching so I deleted those apps. But now those new songs still arent synching and Ive noticed if I delete an app on my itunes or on the ipod they are translating over which leads me to assume the apps arent synching so maybe nothing is synching. However when I watch it synch it seems to go through the 6 synching stages (wait for synch to start, prepare to synch, determining apps to synch, determining tracks to synch, waiting for changes to be applied, and sometimes it will say finishing synch). But no matter what my new songs wont go on there and then since I deleted ibooks it keeps telling me I cant read books on my ipod now, i really dont care about reading books but either way it gives me a message that i either cant read them anymore or the app isnt compatible. Can someone help me make my itouch synch correctly please?
Sorry for the super long explanation.

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Next try restoring from backup.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
Regarding apps, some apps have been updated and the updated apps require iOS 7. However, you should be able to redownload the last compatible version via the iPod. See:

My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

Messages from iPad not Synching with MacBook Pro when Powered Off

I have the new MacBook Pro (2 GHz, i7, purchased Feb 2014), 15" Retina running OSX 10.9.4. I also had an iPad3 (Retina) but just upgraded to the new iPad Air 2 weeks ago. I do not have an iPhone, but that's next. I have used the same iCloud account for all devices.
The issue:
Messages (or message conversations) that I have when using my iPad Air are not synching with the MacBook under certain conditions.
1) If my MacBook is on, there is no issue. Messages between devices (whether being composed on the iPad or MacBook) synch instantly between devices.
2) If my MacBook is sleeping, most (but I do not think all) messages sent from my iPad will synch with the MacBook when it wakes up from sleep.
3) If my MacBook was powered off and I had message conversations using my iPad while the MacBook was off, these messages do not synch with my MacBook after I turn it back on. BUT, this depends:
     a) if I power on the MacBook shortly after (5-10 min) I had the message conversation on the iPad, sometimes these messages on the iPad will synch with my MacBook after I power it on.
     b) If my MacBook was powered off for several hours after I had a message conversation on my iPad, and then I power on the MacBook, these conversations are not synching on the MacBook at all.
     i.e Assume MacBook is powered off. I have a message conversation on my iPad at 4:30 PM. If I power on my MacBook at 4:35 PM, the message from my iPad synchs with the MacBook. However, if I power on my MacBook say at 10 PM or the next day, then the message conversation I had on the iPad DOES NOT synch with my MacBook.
Confused? So am I. To complicate matters, I did not have these issues while I had my old iPad 3. I only starting noticing it when I bought the new iPad Air two weeks ago. I do not know if this is related.
Another issue: SOME message conversations on my MacBook and iPad air now appear to get out of chronological order. In fact, on my iPad air, I received a message at 10 AM (message A) and then had several other messages with this person throughout the day on my iPad (at 11 AM, and then 2 PM). Later that evening around 10 PM, the original message (message A) was received again as a new message on my iPad (i.e. received a new message notification). Now, message A appears out of order (it shows the timestamp of 10 AM, but it displays after the messages that came at 11 AM and 2 PM). Since my MacBook was on, these messages synched with my MacBook, but were (and remain) in the proper chronological order.
Other iCloud apps (calendar, mail, FaceTime notifications, notes, keychain, Photo-stream etc. seem to be synching fine between devices). One last observation, when I bought the iPad air and restored it from the backup I made from the old iPad 3, everything restored fine from the backup except for Calendar. For whatever reason, some old calendar entries did not restore on the new iPad.
I have run a myriad of tests (sending messages to myself from both my new and old iPad (even created a new apple ID from the old iPad)) with my MacBook sleeping or powered off for varying amounts of time in order to provide the information above. I also reinstalled the operating system on my MacBook but this did not resolve the issue.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be extremely grateful. I have been in contact by phone with Apple support and have them baffled as well, but they are doing their best to help.
Thanks,
HankSTL
ps. I may post to several communities so if you see this message in several communities, I am just trying to get the best coverage.

The same thing is happening to me.

Sent email from my iPhone not synching with my desktop Mac

I am stumped. When I send email from my iPhone (using my POP account) the email is sent, shows up in my iPhone sent folder but does not show up in the sent folder in the Mail application on my desktop plus the little icon showing that I responded is not there. I guess it is not synching. This is a problem because I often don't recall if I responded to an email from my iPhone and I end up responding again to the email when I see it on my Mac desktop. My synch is working great with contacts and calendars, both push and fetch. I am also receiving emails, push and fetch, just fine. Can anyone offer advice or insight? Thanks!

I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account?

I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop! So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now... so the question is: "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????

Have you tried
Settings > General > Usage > Music > Edit > Delete

IMac contacts do not synch with iCloud, iPhone & iPad contacts do

When I add/modify contacts on my MacBook Pro, the changes do not synch to iCloud, or my iPhone or iPad. Calendar items and iCloud mail do synch and contactys synch between my iPhone and iPad. What am I missing? I have Lion.

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

ICal (4.0.4 (1395.7)) on Mountain Lion 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro 13" not synching correctly to iPhone 3GS

iCal has stopped synching calendars correctly with my iPhone 3GS. I am syncing via iTunes, not via the cloud; I have the latest patches for Mountain Lion; I cannot upgrade the machine's OS, because I need Rosetta. The iPhone is running the latest version of iOS Apple has pushed, but this began a couple of patches ago - I was holding off on the latest because of Reasons, and upgraded hoping the upgrade would fix it. It didn't. I also have the latest version of iTunes for Mountain Lion.
Symptoms:
No appointments made on the phone, in any calendar, make it into iCal. (I have five calendars that used to sync; all stopped at once.)
Old appointments made in iCal before this started happening still sync correctly from iCal to the phone.
New appointments made in iCal sometimes make it onto the phone, and sometimes do not. I haven't been able to detect a pattern.
When new appointments made iCal do make it onto the phone, they are correct, except that there is always a second ghost appointment also created, only on the phone, called "New Entry." It will have the same time and date information as the actual appointment, and be listed as the correct calendar, but will contain none of the associated appointment data.
I have tried:
Upgrading phone to latest iOS version
Desyncing all calendars from phone, then resynching them.
Telling iTunes to overwrite all calendar data on sync. (I know this actually happened, because appointments I'd made on the phone which had not synched disappeared after overwrite was initiated.)
Resetting phone to factory and reapplying everything from scratch. (This was the most recent action, two weeks ago, was a huge pain.)
None of these resulted in any change in observed behaviour.
What is new in the last few days is that until now, all iCal appointments had been making it to the phone, so as long as I made the appointments in iCal first, I could at least know of them while in the field. Alas, that is no longer the case.
Any ideas?

Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

Iphone calendar does not synch with outlook

Starting on Feb 1, my iPhone (5s) does not synch with Outlook (2013). Have tried many things:
1. Building new Outlook data file (.pst)
2. Changing synch settings in iTunes
3. Changing USB cables
4.Removing/reinstalling iTunes and other Aplle software
Problem seems to have started after upgrading iOS and iTunes.
Any idea?

Yes, that does make sense. You can transfer data from the old .pst file without saving it as a .pst file. Archive your current .pst. Then save your contacts as vCards, and save your calendar as an iCalendar file. After creating the new .pst file, you can open the old calendar in the new .pst as well as import the vCards back to your contacts.
Last question, did you run the scanpst.exe program to review your .pst file for corruption? You will find that, if I remember correctly, in the Office program folder. You can search for it. Run that, it prompts you for your .pst file and will scan it for problems. But saying that it started on a specific date would lead me to believe it is something you probably added that day. Out of all of the time I've been using Outlook 2007, 2010, and 2013 with my iPhones, and I've had them since the first one, I've only had 2 small events, and copying over the .pst has fixed them both.

HT1386 i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs. Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs. Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

What settings do you have in iTunes? Is it set to sync all music, it is set to sync only checked songs? Is there anything different about the songs that it is not syncing. Is it possible they were they purchased with a different Apple ID?
