Ringtone will not sync from iTunes to iPhone

I downloaded a free silent ringtone, and dragged it into iTunes "Tones." Then I synced my iPhone with iTunes. I went to change the ringtone of an unwanted caller to silent, but it was not in the list. So then I went back into iTunes, and dragged the silent tone into the "Tones" section under "Devices", "MyiPhone." After syncing, the downloaded ringtone still doesn't show up in the list of ringtones or alert tones on my iPhone.
I've read roughly 20 threads on this message board of people with a similar problem, but I have not found an explanation of what I need to do to get the downloaded ringtone from iTunes to my iPhone. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I have an iPhone 4s and the most recent version of iTunes installed on a Windows 7 machine. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your reply JackeeJax. The problem is not actually getting the file to show up in iTunes under "Tones," but rather transferring from iTunes to my iPhone when they sync.
I guess I'll never know why that silent ringtone wouldn't show up in my iPhone ringtones. Since starting this thread I have tested the process with several other normal ringtones, and it works just fine. Maybe the iPhone detected that the ringtone was silent and refused it, idk. It's strange that the ringtone shows up in iTunes under the iPhone's "Tones", but then is nowhere to be found on the iPhone itself. If only Apple allowed users to browse directories, maybe I could figure it out. In any event, it was worth the $1.29 to get a silent ringtone on my iPhone. Gotta screen those telemarketers!

App Updates Will Not Sync From iTunes To iPhone

I am having an issue with App Updates since I upgraded to iOS8.
I prefer to update my Apps through iTunes on my iMac & then \sync them over to my iPhone 5s.
However, I am having issues with this now. After have downloaded the updates with iTunes I sync them to my iPhone and they show that they are being copied over to my iPhone. However, on my iPhone in the App Store, it shows that the apps did not sync and still need updating. So I have to then download them on my iPhone all over again.
I have tried restating the phone. deleting the apps and starting again. Nothing works. any ideas?

Mp3 will not sync from iTunes desktop to iphone

Hi All,
I have some mp3 files (voice recordings purchased from Darren Hardy) that I imported into my iTunes Library just fine on my Mac OSX desktop.
However, those files simply will not sync up with my iPhone like the other 1900-odd songs in my library do just fine.
I'm not a total dope, but this one's got me baffled. I've tried reboots, resyncs, changing the files from music to audiobooks, nothing obvious seems to work.
And BTW, there's no indication in the Get Info box that there is any DRM on them.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris.

Movie The Words will not sync from iTunes 11.0.1 to Apple TV gen1

Hello,
I have followed the threads on the subject and got an SD copy of The Words (which I purchased in HD).
Originally, there were two other problems.
1) the download was being corrupted at the end, not finishing properly (HD). Although it would play in iTunes on the mac, a check of the Info showed several fields simply missing, such as AppleID. It did sync to Apple TV gen1 but then told us 'not authorized' when trying to play it. I finally got a good copy after clearing the Downloads folder and re-downloading several times.
2) AppleIDs from iTunes and iCloud did not match, so I was at first unable to get the show iCloud in iTunes option on the Store preferences, with no warning. I fixed that too and got an SD copy of The Words into iTunes.
I removed the original movie file from the Apple TV. it was gone from the movie list.
However, I now have an SD copy of the movie in my iTunes, but it WILL NOT sync to the AppleTV. When i select it for sync, and apply, Sync runs very briefly, indicating no problems, but nothing gets done. The movie does not appear in the Apple TV menu, and it is clearly not being transferred over.
Anyone got any suggestions?
thanks

Morning athos441,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The black unit is the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV.
The 1st gen Apple TV (silver) is the one that you can move things over to the internal HD on the Apple TV.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

Notes will not Sync in iTunes with iPhone 3.0

I just installed the new 3.0 OS and notes will note sync across. I use the regular Mail application and every time I select the Sync Notes checkbox in iTunes sync setup it does the sync but then deselects the box on its own. Everything else is syncing perfectly except that. I have both a small list of notes on the iPhone and notes in Mail. I assume all of these should combine. Someone please help.

I was a little confused after updating to 3.0. I kept looking in my email accounts and found nothing, it was only after clicking the mail icon in the dock did I find it in the reminders in the left hand column.

Music and videos do not sync from iTunes to iPhone 4

Hi all, any help on this issue appreciated. I have recently purchased an iPhone 4 and wanted to sync music and some videos on to it. I have successfully done this on my iPod Nano. But when I attempt it with the iPhone 4, the iTunes program freezes or stalls, and in Windows task manager it shows the program as 'Not responding'. I've probably tried it about 10 times now with different songs or videos but the same thing happens.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening. Could it be my PC just being a bit old? Seems strange though when it works fine for the iPod.
Thanks

I'm having that problem with a number of podcasts as well. I'm getting a error message that the files will not play on the iphone.
I've tried switching usb ports, restoring iphone, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, fixing permissions, rebooting, etc.
I've been able to download a podcast onto the iphone through the itunes app, which then plays fine until I synch w/ itunes and then itunes removes the podcast.
help?

Photos and contacts will not sync from iCloud to iPhone

Hi Everyone
I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS (5.1.1), and have had to restore my phone due to sluggish response from the device, however I have had problems when setting up my phone again.
When the phone was restored and I wanted to restore a backup, it said the latest backup was from 10/12/2011 (I'm assuming this was the last time I backed up to iTunes). The issue I have is all my photos and contacts are on iCloud (last updated 25/05/2012, it clearly says this on my device under iCloud section). I have looked about to try and find a way to get this information back onto my iPhone but have not had any luck.
Can someone please help me find out how to get my photos and contacts from iCloud back onto my iPhone, having no contacts is a real pain! If anyone can help it would be really appreiciated!
MESSAGE TO APPLE: Your support is a complete joke, why should I have to pay for your assistance on clear design flaws with iCloud and its ability to sync with iOS enabled devices. Also you should really consider allowing people to download their photos / contacts via iCloud.com

me again everyone, I've managed to find my contacts on my iPhone. When I look under the contacts app it just says "no contacts", but if I look at the contacts tab via Phone they all appear, weird bug.
Still problems with my photos though

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

New iPhone 5 will not sync to iTunes using wi-fi. Using cable OK.

I recently purchased an iPhone 5. Now, the iphone will not sync with iTunes via my home wi-fi where my old iPhone 4 did. I does sync using the cable. Is there something that I need to do?

It happened to me once.Basically I had to reset the wifi sync using a cable. Try connecting your iPhone to your computer using a cable. Uncheck the wifi sync box in iTunes, sync, then re-check the box. Hit apply, then disconnect the phone from the cable.

If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

I have 2 itunes accounts. I can no longer use my first one for purchases so I had to start a new one and it will not sync from my new one without deleting everything on my same ipod from my previous account. How do I sync between both accounts?
