Syncing Ring Tones & 12 days of Christmas

Help Help Help,
I downloaded various items from the 12 days of christmas and also bought a ring tone from Itunes. All was fine until I connected the phone to the pc to get some photos from it. Once I went back in the ringtone had gone along with all the items dowloaded from 12 days of christmas. They are showing on my phone on itunes but I cannot put them back on to the phone. Please can anyone help cos this is doing my head in, I have tried loads of different ways and it will not sync back to the phone. Any suggestions????

no no I'm not making the problem clear
12 Days of Xmas App offered a free download of Kylie 'mini' album - I was demoing the app to some folks and happened to hit 'download' on her album three times (three demos of the app... trust me I wouldn't willingly download even one copy....) - at this point what is on my iphone is one album from Kylie, but each track is there three times - so three copies of track 1, three copies of track 2 etc...
'no problem' thinks I, just sync with itunes and remove the unwanted duplicates so - next step... sync the iphone with iTunes.
After the sync what appears in iTunes is one album but with just one copy of each track - but still on the phone there is one album with three copies of each track.
So... I untick the tracks that are appearing in iTunes and resync the phone.
After this sync, on the phone there is still one copy of the album, but only two copies of each track...
Removing the tick basically did remove one copy of each track, but still left me with two on the phone that I just cant get at in any way to remove.

HT1386 How can I sync ring tones previously purchases

I purchase a new i phone 4. But I can not transfer 2 ring tones previously purchased. They are not listed under tones. The only way I see them is when I enter my acct info and look at all my purchases.

Resolution
To resolve the issue:
Make sure that "Sync ringtones" is selected in the Ringtones tab for your iOS device in iTunes.
Sync your device and allow the sync to complete.
If still unresolved, deselect "Sync ringtones" and click Apply.
After the sync finishes, select "Sync ringtones" again and click Apply.
If not
Check to be sure they are really ringtones and not just music files that can be converted to ringtones. To check, right-click on the files in iTunes, select Get Info, on the Summary tab they must say Kind: Ringtone. If the don't, follow the steps shown in this video to convert them to ringtones, then sync them to your phone: http://cnettv.cnet.com/create-free-ringtones-itunes-10/9742-1_53-50093086.html.

Sync ring tones

I have an Iphone 3G and have made two ringtones. The ring tones show up in Itunes under tones but when I try to sync them to the phone, they never show up on the phone. They are check marked under ring tones in the tones liberary but never make it to the phone when I sync. What can I do to get them into the phone?

Same way you sync everything else.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

Syncing Ring Tones to iPhone

I have synced my iPhone with iTunes; the tones show up both in my "Tone" section of iTunes, as well as the "Tones" section of my iPhone....but are not on my actual phone when I look at it. I've tried unchecking the Sync Tones box, then syncing, then checking it again, and resyncing it again. Nothing showing up still. Any ideas?

I've personally never synced ringtones onto my iPhone; so the only advice I can give is to download one of the various Ringtone apps from the appstore. Best of luck.

Ring tones are not syncing in my apple 4s phone

hi
how can i sync ring tones in my 4s iphone?

Plug your iPhone into iTunes, in the left panel (Library) there should be a section "Tones", verify your ringtones are in there then sync

I can no longer sync music, books and ring tones

I recently updated my iTunes, and something has changed. I can sync music and audio books - but it erases my ring tones. I noticed this, and attempted to sync my ring tones -- only to lose all of my music and audio books. I have the "manually manage music and videos" box checked (though the check keeps disappearing). This is so frustrating! Anyone know what's going on?

Here is a support article with additional troubleshooting steps you should try:

HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back. when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone. the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

Every time I sync my iphone 4 with itunes my ring custom ring tones change. I have 7 custom ring tones in itunes. One time it will load 1 custom ring tone the next it may be 3 then the next it is one again. The last time it gave me 4 of the 7.

Every time I sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes the number of my custom ring tones change. I have 7 custom ring tones listed. The first time it will load 1 of the ring tones and the next time it will load 3, The next time it will be back to 1. If I have assigned one of the custom ring tones and it does not get loaded it goes back to the ring tone that came with the phone. The last time itunes gave me 4 of the 7 so I have not tried to sync it again. I am using iTunes 10 (10.4.10), and windows 7.
Has anyone else had this problem??
Any ideas to what I need to do??

Have you ever had all 7 of them synced before? Are these ringtones you made yourself? Is there a chance they could exceed 30 seconds in length? Is there a chance you have moved the original file location on the computer? May need the answers to a couple more questions to try and determine an answer.

I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5.

I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5. I see them in my tones folder, I've checked the "sync all" option and I've tried checking the individual tones and then sync. Each time iTunes says it has synced but the ring tones are not in the iPod.

Me too it has been all week and driving me crazy--- I've done everything I've seen on these websites to no avail--- does apple monitor these posts and offer any help????????

Why when I go to garageband and make a ring tone then try to sync it, It says all existing songs, movies and tv shows will be removed?

Why when I go to garageband and make a ring tone then try to sync it, It says all existing songs, movies and tv shows will be removed?

Oh ok. As far as music, no i have not synced music because it would load so much. I don't have movies or tv. I have never loaded ringtones before. So i am guessing they are connected to music. My apps do sync. So the best thing is to not sync and just drop them on my devices icon???
oh, if I check sync music the button for entire music library is selected how do I get Selected playlist, artists, ect. selected. Right now everthing is grayed out.

Files that I bought via The 12 Days of Christmas keep being downloaded when I sync even when I've deleted them from iTunes

I downloaded some videos and music and a book via The 12 Days of Christmas.
I sync my iPhone with my Mac and have decided I don't want to keep them. So I delete them out of iTunes. Next time I sync my iPhone however, it brings them back into iTunes again.
How can I permanently deleted this content, so it doesn't keep re-appearing in iTunes each time I sync?
Thanks.

So if I understand correctly, there is no way to delete a file from iTunes that has been copied to my iPod and not have iTunes delete that file the next time I plug my iPod into the computer?
I don't really wish to keep my music library intact since it takes up too much space on my drive. Sometimes I copy podcasts to my iPod and then desire to delete it from iTunes to save space but when I plug it back in I find that iTunes deletes these podcasts from my iPod.
What happened to me recently was I had a lot of music on my iPod that I used when I went running. My iMac hard drive and logic board went kaput on me. I had to go back to my old G4 to continue working on some jobs. When I plugged my iPod into the older G4 to charge it and add some recently downloaded podcasts I find that iTunes has completely deleted my running songs since they were purchased and added on my crashed iMac. This makes no sense to me. Whatever is loaded on my iPod should stay on it until I manually delete it.
Oh well, it's not a big deal but it does seem like a flaw with the iPod/iTunes sync. I should be able to treat my iPod just like a flash drive or external drive or something. If I copy something to it, it should stay there until I delete it from the iPod.
Thanks for the information and advice anyway!

Sorry. Your info is gone.
You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly. You should have set up syncing from day one.
As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
Very sorry.

Purchasing Ring Tones iPhone vs. Verizon vs. iTunes

So I finally bit the bullet and I am enjoying my new iPhone of 2 days! Why is it so hard to spend money on the Verizon website?! I belong to the "fortunate ones" whose children pay their parents phone bills! However, the extras etc. I want to handle...
My child pays the bill so I CANNOT SIGN INTO MY OLD VERIZON ACCOUNT. iT WILL SCREW UP HER ACCOUNT....
I don't want to start getting the emails and bills that belong to her family, and she certainly does not need that inconvienence.
Please tell me HOW do I BUY ringtones from Verizon without signing in? Of course, it will not allow me to sign in and I have had bad luck in the past by entering my number without an active billing account. It would be a good idea to have a store option open for us folk.
I guess I will try making a ring tone, but I wanted the NO Hassle tonight at midnight! Would anyone like to address what program I might use on my Windows 7 ??? Thank you very much for your or any reply!

Not really sure what could have possibly happened with your experience with iTunes in the past...if your computer crashed and you didn't do routine backups of your library (either using discs or an external hard drive) then your music would have been lost. Not sure if that's what you're saying happened though. If it was then unfortunately that was a mistake on your part because apple did not at that time store your purchases or allow you to redownload your purchases. Depending on how old your iTunes version is on your computer then the differences of the latest iTunes would be vastly different. You can go to the apple.com website to read more about it to see if it helps. If you currently use the the iCloud feature then you will have access to any of your iTunes purchases and can redownload them to any iOS device you may have or to your computer but you will need to update your iTunes for the ability to download past items to your computer. If you aren't using iClouds then you would need to use iTunes on the computer for any device backups or syncing. Ultimately, if you aren't familiar with current iTunes capabilities or iCloud (or any other features associated with iOS 5 and your new iPhone) then you would greatly benefit from looking the owners manual for your iPhone. You can find it on the apple website at www.apple.com/support and clicking on the manuals link...there your should find the manual for your device which you can save to your computer for future viewing or just go to the site as needed. You can also view the manual on your iPhone by going to Safari on your iPhone and looking at the bookmarks that has the user guide as one of the bookmarks. Sorry if I misunderstood what trouble or issues you were saying you had with iTunes in the past. Glad you were able to find whatever you needed to get the ringtone you wanted.
