Syncing Custom ringtone and Itunes Match.

So - tried all the above and ringtone shows up Grey in the pone tones folder but when I check the SYNC select tones box and try to sync I get an errro telling me my phone is set to sync with a different library...help please.

From a different post, I tried this. I set my phone to the sounds page (selected the ringtone at the top), and watched as it went through the sync. At one point in the sync it would bring the sound page back up and my custom ringtones would be there. Then, it would go back to sync, and they'd be gone. I've now been disconnecting the cord when I see the ringtones come up, and they've stayed every time, including keeping their link to their contacts.
This is frustrating, because I even lost my purchased ringtones. When they were the only ones I'd try to sync, it still wouldn't work without unplugging after the first sync screen went away on the iphone.
I tried a restore of my iphone and a repair of itunes. If I used makeiphoneringtoes, it would work, but I'd like my ringtones to show in itunes since I purchased from them.

    I backed up my 3GS using iTunes. I then restored the file to my new 4GS. Then I synced the apps onto the 4GS. Then I downloaded 2 custom ringtones, and attempted to sync them onto the 4GS, but it says "This Library is already synced with another phone, and if you try to sync, you will lose all of the information on the iPhone." I am a Windows user. This Sync process is VERY confusing.

    How can I possibly get these two new ringtones onto the iPhone without wiping out everything else on the phone? This Sync process is nuts.
    I have Backed Up the phone twice. Why would iTunes try to wipe out the phone?

  • Plz someone help I made custom ringtones and when I try to put them in my iPhone 4 it hey appear gray on iTunes and won't go on my phone and I tried syncing it don't help what do I do???!!!

    The ringtone file format is m4r.  You can create ringtone from any of your music file in your iTunes Music library.
    Follow steps as follow:
    1. Right mouse click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
    2. Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” n Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
    3. Right mouse click the music file again and choose “Create AAC Version”
    4. You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
    5. Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
    6. Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
    7. *Important - Now uncheck the start n stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
    8. Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
    9. Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
    Note: Just in case you cannot "Create AAC version" from Step 3, go to top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
    Once you have ringtones in Tones library, you can sync ringtones over by connecting your phone to PC, select iPhone under Devices on iTunes left Pane, then go to 'Tones' tab and check SYNC TONES as well as the ringtones.  Click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

  • Using iCloud and iTunes match, should I still wirelessly sync with my computer iTunes?

    Using an iPhone 4 with the latest updates. I keep getting an error message syncing over my wireless network that says "Cannot sync phone. There are too many files open" from iTunes on my compter. Should I turn off the wireless syncing now that I'm using iCloud and iTunes Match?
    There are 4 iPhones that are using this feature on our network, plus AppleTV 2.

    Even though you have iTunes match and iCloud, there are several other types of media that aren't included in either of the services, such as movies, photos etc, if you aren't syncing any of these to your phones, then you may well be able to turn iTunes wifi sync off.
    Personally, I would want to find the cause of the error message and use the iTunes sync for backup, I consider it far more reliable and convenient than iCloud for back up

  • I have synced by I-phone to I-tunes to sync custom ringtones but they do not show up on I-Phone.  They are in the syncing que in I-tunes but not on phone.  Can someone help here.

    I am having problems syncing the I-Phone ringtones from I-tunes to the I-Phone.  These are custom ringtones and they do show up in the I-tunes ringtones and syncing seems to work but they are not on the I-Phone?

    1. CC 2014 uses different folder for CEP extensions. If you installed both CC apps and CC 2014 apps, Extension Manager CC will install CEP extensoins to both "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions" and "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions". Please check if you can find your extensions in the latter folder.
    2. Flash based extensions are no longer supported by PS CC 2014. So if some of your extensions are Flash based, even if they are installed to the folder above, PS CC 2014 will not load them. You have to install their HTML based counterparts. Refer to

  • I can't sync iPod classic with iTunes Match since I have updated to iTunes 11

    When I open iTunes (11) and connect my iPod (classic) it does not recognise the device.  I am using iTunes Match.   My question is how do I transfer the music from PC to my iPod?  I just bought a new PC and thought getting Match would be useful and save time transferring from my old PC.  It was fine to begin with until the iTunes 11 update.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    The iPod classic not bring recognized is unrelated to iTunes Match. You should post this problem to either the iPod Classic forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_classic or the iTunes for Windows forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows. Probably the former.
    FYI it is only iOS devices that cannot be synced via USB with iTunes Match enabled.

  • HT3819 What's the difference, other than the 24.99, between Home Sharing (free) and iTunes Match (24.99)?

    What's the difference, other than the 24.99, between Home Sharing (free) and iTunes Match (24.99)?

    Home sharing allows you to share content between computers and devices on your wifi network - so if you have your library on your computer's iTunes and you want to access it on your iPad then both your computer and iPad have to be turned on, iTunes open on your computer, and both need to be connected to the same wifi network.
    iTunes Match will upload your music library to the cloud (including music copied from CDs and from other sources) allowing you to accces it from your computer or iPad without requiring your main computer to be on - and if you have access to a network when not at home you can download or stream music from it. It's also acts as a second backup of your content (you should still maintain your own backup of your library).
    iTunes Match, from http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
    Once your music is in iCloud, you can play it from any of your devices. Just browse the complete list of all your music stored in the cloud and tap to play to it. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store), but only what you play or download is stored on your device. Tap the iCloud download button to download music from an artist, album, or playlist. So you have immediate access to a huge music library without having to worry about the storage space on your device.
    But whether it's worth it only you will know. Personally I don't use it, I keep and maintain my own backup of my content and sync it to my devices so that I don't have to rely on being online to access what I might want to listen to,

  • IPhone 5s and iTunes match started with wrong apple i

    Hello,
    Yesterday I started with iTunes match with one of my apple id's (the one I mostly use for shopping)
    UnfortunateIy, while reading the instructions I didn't quite understand that it would not be available to my other id (apple id for iCloud)
    My macbook, windows pc and ipad are synced with the correct apple id (for iCloud)
    Now my iphone is not synced because I started iTunes match with another apple id of mine....!
    As I realise what happened I think that a 90 day period is absurd!!! in order to get my device free to sync with my choice apple id
    Because of this situation I have bought de iTunes match twice.
    Can you help me with the two following?
    1. Is it possible to cancel de purchase for apple id: please?
    2. And to have my iPhone 5s available for de iTunes match
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,
    Mari Barneveld

    Hello mary.bee
    To resolve the issue, you will need to report the issue to the iTunes Store. As for the 90 days the article below will have some information about associating your Apple ID with other devices.

  • ICloud and iTunes match

    Have an iPhone4 and iPad2 both with all latest updates. Also using iCloud and iTunes Match.
    What is the best way to set these up? I don't need music on either device but noticed my entire iTunes library on both devices. I really don't need music on either device except what I choose for each. Noticed my phone close to needing more storage, so I tried to swipe and delete albums but nothing happened. I went  to the music icon and deleted everything which showed  no data.  Then selected the music icon at bottom of phone and all the music is still there.
    I also backed up the phone and iPad on iCloud but nothing shows on iCloud.
    What is suggested? Should I back these up to iCloud or to themselves or even iTunes? ITunes Match allows access to iTunes library in ICloud but checking iCloud I don't  see an iTunes library or iPhone in iCloud. Perhaps I don' need iTunes Match?
    Need some guidance on the best way to set things up and what some of you have done. Also how do I delete the music on the phone with what I described earlier.
    Thanks
    Don

    iCloud and itunes match are different services.  iCloud really has no impact on iTunes match.  When you set up itunes match, I assume your itunes music library was synced up to the match cloud.  You other devices list all the music but don't have it physically on the device until you download it.
    You might post over at the itunes match forum where users there are more knowledgeable than most here.

  • Cannot see BOTH synched library AND iTunes Match library at the same time

    I ran iTunes Match on my library of MP3 files and hit the maximum allowed 25,000 song limit in my paid iTunes Match account. Then I created a new version of my local/PC iTunes library with those 25,000 MP3 songs removed, and synchronized it with my iPhone 4s running IOS7 and iTunes Match turned OFF. So far so good.
    So now I theoretically have no duplication between my 25,000 song iTunes Match library and my local iTunes library that resides on my PC.
    But even though I have the "Show All Music" setting on the phone turned on, the iTunes Match songs don't appear on my iPhone until I also turn the iTunes Match setting on. But as soon as I do that, all of the songs I synched from my local iTunes library on my PC completely disappear- having been completely replaced by my iTunes Match library. If I then turn the iTunes Match setting off again (while still leaving "Show All Music on"), the iTunes Match songs also disappear, leaving my iPhone music library completely empty. Have I misunderstood the meaning of the "Show All Music" setting, or is something malfunctioning?
    My question is: How can I make ALL of my songs (both the ones I have previously captured in ITunes Match AND the ones I synched with my PC via iTunes) appear on my iPhone at the same time?  This scenario seemed to be working just fine under IOS6 on the same iPhone.

    I had a somewhat similar experience.  When I enabled paid iTunes Match on my iPhone 5, iOS7, all of my locally-stored songs on the iPhone disappeared and remained gone even after I disabled iTunes Match on the iPhone.
    A chat session with Apple support revealed that iTunes Match will in fact supersede any synched content on the iPhone.  The suggestion from Apple support was to download on the phone all the previously-synched content via iTunes Match wireless connection.  Of course, that would take hours if not days.  And that crazy workaround won't help you because you want songs other than what you have in the Cloud.
    It appears that various members of this forum have not had this same experience.  I'm not sure what's going on here.  Usually with Apple's tight control of hardware and software these anomalies are avoided.
    And I didn't really need iTunes Match except I wanted commercial-free iTunes Radio (which I think is great, by the way).  At least for now, commercial-free radio (with a paid subscription) can be achieved only by enabling all of the iTunes Match features.  I'm not sure why Apple requires this bundling unless its part of a general push to a streaming model for everything (more revenue opportunities) as opposed to supporting local storage.

  • ITunes Apple ID and iCloud Apple ID and iTunes Match

    I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps. I have two new iPhone 5s. Each iPhone has been setup to have a separate Apple ID for email (iCloud) and to use the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I initiate iTunes Match from my iMac and use iTunes Match on all devices especially since the iPhones have two Apple IDs "loaded" ?

    Hi,
    If you are using the same ID for Itunes purchases, APPs and Itunes match, you should be OK. Separate ID can be use for iCloud which is not the same as iMatch.

  • I the cloud and itunes match. Some songs have the "waiting" icon next to them but are unable to upload and instead of determing them ineligible itunes continues to try to upload that song and never gets to the rest of the list.

    I have  icloud and itunes match and most of my songs have been uploaded to the cloud. Some songs still have the "waiting" icon next to them and when I turn itunes match on they neither upload nor are they determined ineligible. My computer will literally spin its wheels for hours trying to upload the same song. Additionally, I uploaded an audiobook disc on my computer and 3 of the 11 tracks are still waiting to be uploaded???

    The exclamation mark happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
    If the missing files just can't be found then, assuming you are in region where you are permitted multiple downloads of your audio purchases, delete the current enties and download again from your purchased history.

  • New Family Sharing and iTunes Match

    Hello to all. With the release of iOS8 and the Beta of Yosemite, I have decided to leverage the new family sharing of the iTunes accounts. The set up works fine and I have gotten it working, just wondering how to get iTunes match to work with it. So pre-iOS8 I had an account "A" that all my iTunes purchases and iTunes Match were done with and then my wife and I both have personal accounts "B" and "C" for iCloud. So basically when I set up a device I would use one of our iCloud accounts (B or C) and then A for iTunes. This allowed for us to both see our purchases and also have access to our music via iTunes Match.
    Now that I have put in Family Sharing and we now sign in with our own accounts. The purchases of apps work and we can see each others purchases. But when I goto iTunes we are not able to see the music that is associated with our primary account and it is requiring us both to purchase iTunes Match.
    So any help on how to get iTunes Match to work across account with Family Sharing.

    This has forced my family to go back to using one iTunes account.  It is unfortunate because of all the features family sharing offers.  My wife was excited about not having to compete for bookmarks when we are reading the same book, one little example.
    be sure to leave feedback at https://www.apple.com/feedback/.  I also sent some emails to the major apple blogs out there in hopes that they write about it.  I assume the more negative attention the better chance there is a solution, not that this is deal breaking or anything, but still.

    As for the Rolling Stones... where did you download the MP3 files from and what bit-rate are they? Many times when the iTM process in iTunes keeps looping back to step 1 it is because it is trying to match some particular tracks. My advice is to add the tracks a few a time; say, one album at a time and let iTM work on those and complete before you add another album. Having the process try to work on dozens or even hundreds of tracks when it is looping like that can be frustrating.
