Syncing music and videos AND Ringtones

Because my phone is synced to a large iTune library, I choose to 'manually manage my music and videos'. However the ringtones I created in garageband that reside in the ringtone section wipe all my music and videos when they are synced and turn off manual music management. When I re-sync my music it removes my ringtones.
How does everyone else manage to get around this issue.
Many thanks

Worked this out on my own sigh. So basically you cann't have manual music management on and have rintones syncing. the way to get around it is to have sync all music on and then only select a single playlist. This way it will sync music to your phone and allow yo to sync ringtones etc.

I'm trying to sync music and ringtones into my iphone, but itunes says my phone is using a different library and i have to deleate it but i dont to do that, how can i still sync my new stuff?

The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
If it is, here's further troubleshooting:

I recently downloaded a bunch of songs an ringtones from Itunes on my phone. I synced up the phone to my computer to back up the files and to charge it and afterward all the new music and ringtones are gone?! Checked iTunes and they're not there either!

I recently downloaded a bunch of songs and ringtones to my iPhone 4 and when I synced my phone to my computer to back up the files and to charge the phones the ringtones and songs were gone. They disappeared from my phone and from my iTunes as well. I checked my my iTunes for downloadable items and there was nothing there. I went onto iTunes and tried to download the same things that I had previously and when I did it said I had already downloaded them? iTunes only gave me the option to purchase the music and ringtones again. Does this happen often or is there something wrong with the software on my iPhone?

Hi,
Did you have the music in your iTunes library on your computer when you signed up for match? How did you transfer the music from you iPhone to your computer? Do you have a back up.

Before anyone would be able to provide any troubleshooting steps, you would need to describe what "issues" means. Try describing your problem in detail, as well as what troubleshooting you have already tried before posting your question here. That way no one is wasting your time by asking you to perform steps that you have already taken.

Syncing Music and Videos

Since buying the iPad I have been unable to sync music or video. iTunes locks up everytime I try. Gives error message code (-20). Have had tech help from Apple and my Anti virus/Firewall software provider. Added two gigs of RAM. Still having the problem.

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

How to sync music and video from iPhone4 with iPad mini?

I have music and video on my iPhone4 and I just got my iPad mini yesterday. Does anyone know how to sync music and video between two devices?

Apple doesn't enable you to copy certain items from your iPhone to your computer e.g.
- songs that have not been bought in the iTunes store
- photos from photo album (only allows photos transferred from camera roll)
This is frustrating if you have lost these items on your computer - e.g. accidental deletion, hard disk failure.
Its not that its not possible - just that the functionality is not included in iTunes. Its an example of Apple prioritising revenues over customer experience - hey they can do what they want with their reputation but should take care not to frustrate customers too much.
However the Senuti (free) and PhoneView ($20) allows you to transfer items either way between computer and iPhone. Ive tried both and they work great. These are for OS X and there are many other applications available online for both Windows/Mac that allow you to treat the iPhone as just a plugged in disk too. You can try iPod Photo Liberator (Mac & Windows) iPodCopy (Mac and Windows Versions) Keith's iPod Photo Reader (Mac only).
Good luck

How do i transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to the ringtones on my iphone 4, tried everything, help

How do I transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to my iphone 4, all downloaded into my ipod on my phone, unable to transfer into ringtones, help

Music transferred from your iTunes library to your iPhone is transferred to the iPod on your iPhone only.
If a custom ringtone is in the correct format, it will be available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Are the custom ringtones in your iTunes library available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

Wanna keep my music and ringtones

I wanna keep my ringtones and music on my old phone and transfer them to my new phone... how do I do this? I have a motorola w755 now (old phone)

That is correct.
You cannot sync from one iphone to the other. You sync from itunes to the iphone.
The music and ringtones should be in itunes on your computer. Sync them from there to your new iphone.

The iphone will mirror the selected content of your computer.
Make sure everything is on your computer. Select what you want on your iphone, sync

If you have not taken the iPod apart, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99. You can do it an an Apple store
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Or sent it to Apple

IPad (4th Gen Retina Display Wi-Fi) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. Any other solution?

iPad (Retina Display) (iOS 7.0.4) won't sync new music from iTunes (Windows). Only solution found was to uncheck "Sync Music" under Music tab, apply, then recheck "Sync Music" and apply. This is timely and aggravating. Any other solution?
I have also tried a hard reset. I have also gone into settings and checked "display all music".
Anyone know if the new update will have solutions to this problem?

Successful experience with Apple Care.
If anyone is having the same problem, there's a chance it's an issue with the Mobile Device Manager for iTunes. The key is to ditch the old/corrupt file and replace it via clean iTunes installation.
Here's the fix that worked for me:
1. Trash iTunes (uninstall); don't forget to trash it from your dock if you have it there.
2. Head to /System/Library/Extensions/ and trash file AppleMobileDevice.kext
3. Head to /Library/Receipts/ and trash AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg ( * this may or may not be there * )
4. Restart computer (& empty trash)
5. Download fresh & clean iTunes and reinstall.
Voila! The content is now properly recognized by iTunes, the capacity bar registers the correct amount and type beyond "Other", and now I can put music back on the iPad.

Unable sync music and books to my iPhone4s?

After io7 upgrade i am unable to sync music and books to my iPhone4s, I am able to see it in iTunes but can not sync with the iPhone?

Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?

With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?

Hi.
With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?
Basically, I want to sync my iphone and ipad on 2~3 computers at home without deleting contents in my iphone and ipad.
thanks.

I did some more checking as I still had my old computer online.
I booted and went into iTunes.
Under DEVICES, the TV was listed, along with MUSIC, PHOTOS, PLAYLISTS, much like an iPod/Touch.
When I went into PREFERENCES->TV DEVICES, the TV was listed and on the site, it stated SYNCING.
On the other computer, it listed STREAMING. I did do a RIGHT CLICK on the device and selected "STOP STREAMING" and it disappeard - must RE-PAIR with the unit I guess.
I'm afraid to perform the following, but if someone out there has the equipment, maybe they can check...
Make sure nothing else is managing the TV.
Pair with the unit so you have all sorts of options under the device and it shows 'syncing'.
Now, create a new account and perform the same thing or use another Mac. I believe it will limit you to STREAMING only.
My thoughts are that ONLY ONE computer can sync (just like other device). I have to disconnect the association with the old computer.
Even though I moved everything over with Migration Assistant, I didn't have any issues with managing the iPhones, but I'm wondering if there is a Computer UUID that the AppleTV is TIED to. Since I'm on a different computer UUID, and it's being managed by another one, I'm limited to STREAMING.
Only other choice is to RESET the unit - now, where did my manual go?
Thoughts?
