Ringtones not working! Worked before, suddenly won't...

Hello,
First let me say I am not a newbie - have used Macs for years, have used iTunes for years, have had my iPhone since they came out. I have used the Ringtone feature several times with no problem. However, starting last night and all weekend I have been unable to make a ringtone. I have tried multiple songs multiple times. Here is what happens:
I go to my purchased folder, and select a song with the ringtone symbol, right click and select Create Ringtone. I select the portion of the song I want to use, and click Buy. I login (if not already) for payment, and the top status bar changes to "Purchasing...(something like this)." This lasts 1-2 seconds, then nothing happens. If I click buy again, the buttons become disabled for 1 second or so, then are enabled again. I can click my Ringtones folder, and only the previously created ringtones are there - not the one I just made!
this is driving me nuts...I know what I am doing and something simply isn't working. I have tried with and without iPhone connected to computer....I know that probably wouldn't affect it, but I'm desperate!
If anyone is experiencing this or has any ideas to try, please let me know. Thanks so much.

Samething is going on with me too. I've tried restarting my computer and itunes, tried using the different logins I've had over the years, ... each time the same thing happens that you described.
Please let me know if you figure it out...

Drives stopped mounting with FW800, but FW400 is OK. Worked OK before, but won't now. Tried new cables, zapping pram, Disk Repair Utility. Any suggestions? Thanks.

If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
Cheapest option:
1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

AirPrint suddenly won't work

Yesterday morning my HP110a stopped working with airprint. iPad and iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3, having worked fine before, suddenly cannot find the printer on the network. Using Safari, I can access the printer's webpage from the iPad and iPhone, my MacBook Pro finds the printer with Bonjour, ePrinting works fine - but AirPrint doggedly refuses to work.
I have been through all the troubleshooting points - checked network, checked all software / firmware is up to date, even updated iOS to 4.3.1 to no avail.
The need to print from the iPad is urgent - what can I do?
This question was solved.

On the iPad's Home Screen, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and reboot the iPad.

For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open. I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection. It worked fine before but now won't open. I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply with additional information.
Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
driver version roll back.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
later versions of Premiere Elements.

…photoshop need a recovery or auto save system.
tworules,
You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running. As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine. As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

Private Photos App - pictures not displaying This app was working fine, then suddenly it won`t display any of the photos.

This app was working fine, then suddenly it won't display any of the photos. One day the photos were there, gone the next. It still shows how many photos are there but just shows a white screen. I can't export anything to the photo album. Adding photos to existing folders yields the same result, only white screen displayed. However, I can create new albums and add photos to those without issue. Does anybody know how to recover the "missing" photo" I was going to try reinstalling the app but it's no longer available in the iTunes App Store. Thanks, Tracy

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

P45 MS-7516 worked great for 2 years, suddenly won't post.

MB: P45 Diamond MS-7516 (v1.0)
CPU: Intel Core2 Quad Q9550
RAM: Tried many types in differing slots.
PS: Antec 500w
Video: ATi HD4850
This setup worked great for close to two years, and today it suddenly won't POST. Immediately after pushing power button (most) all of the MB's LED indicators light, no beeps, no video output, but all fans spin. It stays like that until I turn off power supply.
Here's everything I've tried so far:
I switched out memory, tried one stick up through four in all configurations.
I checked power supply with DMM and all is correct.
I tried 2nd power supply (375w).
I reset CMOS, the correct way, via battery and jumper.
Triple checked all connections.
Removed MB from case and set on cardboard.
Reseated the CPU and tried a different heatsink.
The labels on the MB's LEDS are very hard to read. Can't really see which numbers line up with which lights. It looks like pretty much all of them are on.
1 on and blue
2 on and red
18-22 (top right) all on and blue
4 on and red
9-16 (that whole 4 group thing) Each group has one Red on.
And there's a few more I'm leaving out. Basically they're all on.
I don't know if this is relevant, but immediately before this problem started (remember pc worked great for 2 years) I was booting up Linux off a Sandisk thumbdrive. Ran into some boot issues, hard reset, and then wouldn't reboot or even POST from power on.
There have been no power surges or electrical storms.
Judging from my process of elimination, I think it must be the CPU or MB. I'm hoping I don't need to replace both. Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks, that makes perfect sense.
But given that this MB worked for so long with one PS, and just out of the blue stopped working, and that another PS (one which the store uses specifically to troubleshoot) was tried, and that all other components (RAM, VGA, CPU) have been replaced and the MB still has same behavior, it seems extremely likely that the MB is to blame. Am I wrong in that assumption?
I'm also assuming, from the lack of responses regarding the MB's diagnostic LEDs, that having them all lit is not a meaningful code. Is that assumption correct?
Thanks all!

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Ringtones not working - Incoming call is alerted by only vibration

Is anyone else having a problem where the ringtones packed with the Iphone just won't work? When I receive calls, the only notification I get is vibration. The tones worked on the first day but have ceased to work. I've restarted the phone several times, used different ringtones, and experimented with settings- to no avail.
Any advice or similar experiences would be helpful.

I had this very same problem the day after I bought my iPhone. I tried every combination of on and off in the settings menu. Yes...I checked and rechecked the red mute switch. Nothing worked.
I took it to the apple store where I bought it, and even the genius could not get it to work.
The store manager promptly swapped out my phone with a new one.

My iPhone 4s has suddenly stopped making a noise to tell me new emails have arrived, this was after an ugrade to IOS 7.1.2. It worked fine before and I didnt change anything but it just stopped dinging. I have checked Settings-Sounds

My iPhone 4s has suddenly stopped making a noise to tell me new emails have arrived, this was after an ugrade to IOS 7.1.2.
It worked fine before and I didnt change anything but it just stopped dinging when I got a new email.
I have checked Settings-Sounds & Settings-Notification Centre and everything looks fine.
It worked ok a couple of weeks ago but not after the latest update - anyone know why?

Thanks Lawrence
I omitted to say that it only occurs when the screen is locked - if I'm looking at something on my phone when an sms or email arrives, the phone 'notifies' me with a sound but doesnt do it when its screen is locked. Email messages and sms's (texts) still arrive but I get no sound to tell me they have.
The MUTE swith is in the correct place and I have tried resetting the phone with the Home and Sleep buttons several times, still to no avail.
I have noticed on the forums that many people are suffering or have suffered the same problem but Apple are never forthcoming, of course,

My iphone 4 'phone app' suddenly won't work

My iphone 4 'phone app' suddenly won't work. It's not a microphone or other hardware problem because I can use viber normally. I have already upgraded to iOs 6.1.2 from a 5.1 (when the problem started), and even after the restore it still won't work.

This is asked and answered multiple times daily.
If you've tried a restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new as recommended in the User Guide and this fails to solve your problem, then you have a hardware failure and will need to bring your phone into Apple for replacement.

Ever since the last update my games won;t load on Pogo, I have to play them through Internet Explorer, they were working fine before.

Ever since Firefox updated the last time, my games won't load on Pogo, I have to play them in Internet Explorer, they were working fine before.

Mozilla are aware of the issue in Firefox 3.6.14 and are working on a fix, no timescale but they are planning on a quick release. Firefox 3.6.15 will fix the issue with some Java applets not working, which has caused many Pogo games to stop functioning.
