Ringtone will not load as such in iTunes

Help please!  I have created a ringtone .m4r file, double clicked on it and opened it that way in itunes.  However it will not, no matter what I try, load as a ringtone rather it sits in the music section. Looking at the files details, it clearly states that is Kind is a ringtone.  I want to sync this file to my iPhone to use it for obvious reasons.

Try shutting down the iMac and disconnecting all USB devices, including any hub.  Start up with only standard USB mouse/keyboard connected (if normally used).  Do this to reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on iMac.  This is checking if there may be some interference with other USB devices.
If that does not help, since this is a 2nd gen shuffle (also for 1st gen), there is a special reset utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1238
You can download it to see if it will recognize the shuffle, and "reset" it (similar result to doing a Restore in iTunes).
If that does not help (the utility does not see it either), there may be a hardware problem with the connection.  The USB port (on iMac) is probably fine (you can connect something else to the same port to confirm).  The cable with dock could be the problem.  And the connection on the shuffle (the multi-purpose headphones jack) could be the problem.

  • HT1369 new version of itunes will not load getting info that itunes is not downloaded correctly

    have had itunes for several yrs attempted to download newest version but getting message that itunes is not downloaded correctly and new version will not download

    well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine  so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

  • New iPod touch will not load app store or iTunes.....safari is working fine. Also software update says it is going to take 49 hours??? Can anyone help?

    My new iPod touch is not letting me open the app store or iTunes. Safari is working fine. Also my iPad and iPhone are working fine. Wifi is connected. The software update is also taking forever on iPod, it says it will take 49 hours. Should it take that long? I have tried resetting, turning on and off, making date and time right etc. the first day we got the iPod touch the app store worked but not since.

    Typically, the download speeds up. You can try when connected to another network

  • Some (not all) sites will not load properly, (such as 'Outlook', MSN, Flicker) they look as if in a ''safe'' mode'' and can't be viewed properly.

    Hello! If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful!
    I am unable to properly view a number of, but not all, web pages/sites.
    I have tried all the recommendations I have found thus far; however, nothing resolved the issue.
    I have tried: clearing catch, clearing cookies. Checked ‘’load images automatically’’. Enabled JavaScrip. Adblock is disabled. Flashblock is disabled. Everything I have is up-to-date.
    Examples of, but not limited to, sites unable to view properly are: Firefox Support, MSN, Flicker, Outlook email, Yahoo.
    They work fine using Explorer.
    Further detail/explanation of images not showing where a image/picture should be: What I see is an opaque thin red box and in that box is a small opaque red flag.
    THIS IS MOST PERPLEXING!!!

    Try, as cor-el said, the extensions one by one, disable one, then enable it if the problem is not there, and disable the next extension.
    (your extensions we can see in "system details")
    thank you

  • Will not load websites such as youtube, hotmail correctly - all text

    Hello!
    Just starting yesterday, my firefox wont load certain websites properly. Hotmail.com, Youtube.com, Netflix.com - they're all coming through only with text along the left hand side - like the entire website is missing expect for the text, which has been crushed against the left side of the screen. Updating my plugings has not solved this problem

    Try un-installing and then re-installing. Sometimes uninstalling first helps.
    Adobe Flash Uninstaller
    Adobe Flash Player
    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

  • Will not load itunes 6

    i had itunes 4 on my computer, but when brought new ipod needs version 6 to run, the disc will not reistall itunes, keeps come up with error 1335 about data cab. have tried the crib sheet on window install - no joy, have removed all old version and still will not load and also downloaded itunes over the net and same load up problem
    any idea please

    Matthew Sliva's response saved the day. I had been trying for hours, following every lead, every suggestion. Going into Windows\Downloaded Installations and deleting the appropriate folders/files helped immensely. After that I had trouble with loading QuickTime, but once I went into Program Files\QT\QT System\QT Essentials.Resources\nlproj and deleting it everything loaded up fine and I now have my iTunes back. Almost makes one not want to upgrade to the latest version.
    Incredibly frustrated no more

  • After updating my iPhone to IOS6.1.2, My itunes will not load or sync.  What should I do?

    After updating my iPhone to IOS 6.1.2, phone will not load or sync with itunes.  When syncin it gets stuck on waiting for changes to be applied.  What should I do?

    "What should I do?" -- Just wait a few hours and your battery will drain out.  Then you won't have to worry about loading or syncing tunes.
    Hellooo???  Apple???  Are you out there???  Two months and counting now, and still no fix for the 6.1.2 battery-drain problem.  Hellooooo????

    I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub.  The file will not load.  Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?

    You can't fix it.  iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices.  i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content.  Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
    Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here.  If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.

  • How do I get my films into iTunes library , there r in mp4 format but will not load to itines

    I have converted my films to mp4 format but they still will not load yo
    My iTunes library can anyone advise how to sort this out

    What version of iTunes does she have? Updating it will have no impact on the songs in her library. As far as your PC, if you can't use iTunes you can use 3rd party software such as Winamp or Xplay.

  • ITunes will not load certain mp3s into my library

    all of the music i have has been tested as working mp3s both on and off the computer; i had a zune for about a year til a rainstorm destroyed it, and the song collection i have plays just as well through winamp/zune/wmp as it did on the zune. however, itunes will not load songs into the library and doesn't give any sort of error or message about it. my primary example is the three bloodhound gang albums i have, only one (one fierce beer coaster) will load in itunes whereas the others (hefty fine and hooray for boobies) don't show up, regardless of adding songs individually, adding folders, or drag+dropping from explorer. any ideas why itunes is hatin on my music?

    i can't seem to find a "itunes music library.itms" file, or indeed any .itms file in the program files folder for itunes. currently there is no music in my itunes library; i removed it all to try directly dragging files from explorer to the music section of my ipod, which still results in files not loading/synching. after it finishes i'll put files into the library and see if it creates such a file

  • I have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
    On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

  • ITunes and Quicktime will not load

    Hi, when i try and load my iTunes, it will not load. It has been working fine for months, but has recently stopped!
    When i try and load iTunes, i am given the standard Windows "iTunes has encountered a problem" screen with the error message of:
    Error Signature
    AppName: itunes.exe
    AppVer: 6.0.0.3
    ModName: quicktimeStreamingAuthoring.QTX
    ModVer: 7.0.3.50
    OffSet: 00016cb9
    So i "Repaired" iTunes, which didnt fix the problem, i uninstalled it, which also didnt fix it.
    Then i decided to try and uninstall Quicktime, due to it being the root of the problem, and i was greeted with this error:
    Error Description
    DLL function call crashed
    QTInstallCode.QuickTimeUninstallPrc
    Any ideas on what is the problem, and how to fix it?! Because i cannot install a new quicktime whilst this one is still on my computer, and i cant get it off!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Matt

    Okay... I'm waiting for this answer too!! Exact problem...was working fine now I get the "Itunes has encountered a problem...." I attempted to run Quicktime (it is needed, I understand) but now it will not run. I uninstalled all (could not even find Quicktime) and attempted to reinstall. Itunes apparently reinstalled but Quicktime will not... and now nothing is running.

  • My itunes store will not load i keep getting a blank white screen

    My itunes store will not load when i click on the store a blank white screen will come up and only that

    I have a MacBook Pro and it could be a really simple solution. I had the same problem after updating my iTunes. I finally got through to a guy at Apple who took the time to help me. I use Firefox everyday, but apparently the iTunes Store runs off of Safari. All I had to do was download the most recent version of Safari. Literally, that was it. So easy.
