Ringtone won't show up in 'Tones' tab?

I created a ringtone on the Myxer app and followed the app's instructions on how to add the ringtone to my desktop on my computer. I have done this many times before and never had a problem. When the ringtone is on my desktop, it is in the m4r format. I go to 'Tones', 'File', 'Add To Library' and select the tone I want, but it does not show up with my other ringtones. The ringtone will show up with all of my music instead. I looked at the information of my ringtone and it says that the file format and kind is a ringtone, so I am confused as to why it won't show up with my others? I am doing everything the same as I have done before. I also tried adding the ringtone to 'Tones' by double-clicking the ringtone on my desktop and by clicking and dragging it to 'Tones', but it will still show up in 'Music'.
I have iTunes 12.0.1 and a Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1.

Hi Sarah, try to go to edit -> Preferences -> Click on the Tones Checkbox click ok and you will be able to see the tones in your library. Hope this helps.
even i am having itunes 12.0.1 and my problem is i cant find the checkboxes in preferences general Tab let me know if you have any idea whats the problem.

How can I make ringtones show in my Tones tab rather than the Music tab?

I just bought my first iPhone 4 and uploaded a bunch of music ringtone files to iTunes and changed the default preference to display the Tones tab. However, the ringtones all got added to the Music tab rather than the Tones tab. I have a number of questions:
I'm used to other phones where any music file can be set as a ringtone for a particular contact. Is this the case for iPhones too?
If so, how can I set a ringtone for a contact from these music files?
If not, how can I get the ringtones to appear in the Tones tab? I assume that I would have to do that to sync ringtones to my iPhone ringtone "folder".
Is there another alternative? I read on the forum something about dragging ringtone files to the iPhone. Not sure I understood that! Does this mean I can drag a music file from the Music tab to the iPhone icon and have that file end up in the iPhone ringtone "folder"? If it ends up in the Music "folder", how do I access it to set it as a contact ringtone?
Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.

Bookmarks won't show up in new tabs

I just upgraded to 24.0 Now my bookmarks won't open in a new tab. Also, may of the directories that I had for bookmarks are now on the top instead of on the right?

Firefox doesn't have a built-in feature to open bookmarks in a new tab. Were you possibly using an extension such as Tab Mix Plus before?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/
Typically an upgrade doesn't remove any extensions, but if Firefox is unable to access your settings folder, it sometimes creates a new one and migrates what it can. If you notice other data or add-ons missing, that could explain it.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean about directories being on the top instead of the right. Is this the position of the Bookmarks menu button on the toolbar? Could you create and post a screen shot showing the problem? This article has tips on that: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]

HELP! My ringtones won't show up under the "Ringtones" tab

Hi there,
I just got my iPhone a few weeks ago and recently made some custom ringtones using the Myxer app. The finished ringtones were emailed to me in m4r format, which I then downloaded and dragged into iTunes. I enabled the "Ringtones" folder to appear in iTunes by changing my preferences, but when I drag the m4r files into iTunes, they still do not appear under "Ringtones." I tried moving the files from iTunes onto the desktop, deleting them in iTunes, and then dragging them back in, but that still didn't work. When I click "Get Info" for the files, it says "Ringtone," so I can't imagine why it wouldn't appear under the "Ringtones" folder.
Please help! I really want to figure out how to get these synced onto my iPhone, but I obviously can't if they won't go into the "Ringtones" folder in iTunes or on my iPhone.
Thanks

This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
so if you're on a mac:
1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
     Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
     if it's already short enough that's fine
2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
     a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
     still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
Hopefully this helps someone else.

I JUST GOT AN IPHONE AND I AM TRYING TO CONVERT MY MUSIC INTO RINGTONES. I GOT ONE OF THE APPS THAT DOE THIS AND HAVE MADE RINGTONE. HOWEVER I CANNOT GET THE RINGTONE ON MY IPHONE. I DO NOT HAVE A TONES TAB ON MY IPHONE SCREEN.

I just got an Iphone and I am trying to get my Itunes music as my ringtone. I already got an app and made a ringtone. I even got the tones tab to appear in my Itunes library. I cannot however get a tones tab to appear on my Iphone sync area. Also I cannot get any of my ringtones into the tones folder. They are no longer than 30 seconds so that is not the problem. Any ideas?

Does this app not provide a video on how to sync it with itunes and then sync it to your phone.
If you have transfer the ringtone to your computer, play the ringtone - then it should move to your tones folder in itunes. Just make sure when you play the ringtone it's plays in itunes.

Itunes will only show apple tv as device, but itunes won't show some tabs

when apple tv is connected to my laptop, itunes will show the device but the screen won't show some of the tabs like: info, or music, it does show: summary, photos. What is wrong with itunes not showing the apple tv device source tabs?

Hello Nate, thanx for the solution but that also doesn't worked for me and to name it - I am not willing to disable my firewall to get something running that worked before the atv 2.4 and itunes update - same with my network settings - after trying static IPs I returned to DHCP - so if there are friends in my network they don't need to adjust anything at their devices! And I am not working with WLAN - just simple cable - good, fast and save!
My atv has a static MAC-Address isn't it an easy thing for a software to search for it? I am willing to enter it in itunes if I could but I can't!
The whole software programming seems not to be very buggy and insufficent to me!
e.g.
1) The atv reboot-function on the atv-remote with pressing - and menu for 5 seconds always gets me the fancy question mark - so the only real reboot is pulling the plug,
2) On itunes I can test my network, my iphone and my ipod (which I don't have) but why can't I test my apple tv connection?
3) Sometimes I had the problem that I have to sync some content (music and videos) more than one time to be accepted from the atv - even if it was mp3 and mp4 - but that's not a problem anymore while there is not any sync for the atv
It seems to me that I am forced to enable SSH or FTP-connect so I can get rid of itunes!

Ringtones are in my library but won't show up in the tones folder

I have iTunes10 and an iPhone 5. The files are the correct format (m4r), they show up in my music library as a ringtone, the tones folder is already showing, but the ringtones do not show up in my tones folder. I have already tried saving the files to the desktop and then deleting them from my music library and then opening the file from the desktop. It automatically adds it back to my music library as a ringtone but does not add it to the tones folder. Does anyone have any idea why iTunes won't allow me to put anything in my Tones folder and nothing will show up in there even if it is the right file format?
Also, because there is nothing in the tones folder when I connect my iPhone there is no tones tab at the top of the screen to allow me to select any syncing options. The tones folder shows on the left side of the screen when I click on the iPhone to expand it but no tab at the top and it won't let me put anything in the tones folder under my iPhone either. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I spent three hours on the phone with Apple Reps last night. They first said that they would have to reinstate ? my permissions, which they did (I had also lost some music) but after an hour of downloads, I still had no tones. Spoke with another Rep and they said if I purchased the Tones on Istore they should show up. I had. They didn't. Then said that it could be the "older" music was no longer compatible and it MUST be purchased through Itunes Store to show up in Tones automatically. So...I bought almost $20 of Tones last night after I hung up, and NONE Of them show up in my Tones folder. I have tried everything. I cannot move them by drag and drop.
This has been an ongoing problem for me for over a year, and so far, I cannot get any help.
I was asked if it was possible if I had different Libraries. I told them I don't know, since I have used Itunes since 2009 (and like the old version much better) and I have never changed my Itunes login or password. I have however, had different computers. I hope someone can help with this issue.

When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why is this?

When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why dont they display in the 'tones' tab in itunes? How can I get them to display under 'tones' not 'music'.

Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.

Something going seriously wrong with my install of CC. The CC desktop app won't show what apps I have, and when I select that tab the wheel spins for a while and then the app quits. I am running Yosemite 10.

Something is seriously wrong with my install of CC desktop. The icon won't show up in the upper bar as it always has. When I start it from th finer it starts, but when I select the Apps tab is spins for a while and then quits. Tried re-installing it from Adobe downloads. Same behaviour. What's up?

Rdgates55 have you utilized the solutions listed in App doesn't open | Progress wheel spins continually? If so what version of the Creative Cloud Desktop application are you using?

How do you get the Tones tab on iTune so I can load a song on ringtones?

How do I get the Tones tab on iTunes so I can load a song on ringtones? Any instructions on how to add a new ringtone?

I looked into that, and you right.
I will replace the Class.forName() with ClassLoader.loadClass() and instantiate a new ClassLoader everytime I need a new version of an existing class ( up to a limit of, say, 100 times, after which the server will notify the client that it has to be restarted before that class can be updated ).
Now, another question: What happens when I load 10 different versions of "Msg404.class", using different loaders ?
Will the JVM give me the latest version, when I instantiate Msg404.class ?
( That is what I would expect to happen ).
Thanks, Fredrik.

HT201272 I updated my IPhone and it took away all music including my ring tones. I have been able to recover the songs but my ringtones are not showing under purchased. How do I get my ringtones back?

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.

My Macbook Air 2010 on OSX 10.9.5 won't show Airplay tab

I'm trying to connect my 2010 Macbook Air to my Apple TV (on the same WIFI network) and the icon won't show up.
I have updated both the apple tv software and my computer software and restarted both..
I have been to my system preferences->Display-> checked the "show mirroring options" box.....but no apple tv option ever appears.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks for your advice!
