Syncing ringtones onto iphone

i have purchased and edited my ringtones but i am not able to sync them to my iphone. any answers?

Have you reauthorized your computer to play the ringtones? If not, try playing a ringtone from the ringtones icon in the source menu and you should be prompted to re-authorize your computer- that's what I had to do anyway.

  • Sync custom ringtone onto iPhone - without syncing to iTunes

    I do not sync my iPhone 5 to my iTunes on my MBA. Whenever I plug in my iPhone into iTunes, it asks if I want to set up a new iPhone or restore from a nonexistent backup. So I cannot get the ringtone I made in GarageBand onto my iPhone by syncing my iPhone with my iTunes. All software on both devices is fully up to date. With all that in mind, how am I supposed to get my ringtone onto my iPhone?

    You can't get the ringtones on your phone without syncing to iTunes.
    Is this the first time you've synced with iTunes?

  • Syncing Ringtones to iphone

    I'm trying to find out what is wrong or am I missing something. I went to itunes, created by ringtones and synced them to my phone. Now when I check my phone I dont see any ringtones on at all. Can someone please help me figure out if I'm doing something wrong...

    One thing that might help.
    When you created the ringtones, did they show up in the ringtones section of your itunes library.
    Check ringtones under library on the left of itunes.
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

    If so, double click on the ringtone and play it in itunes.
    Once you can play it in itunes, connect the iphone and check the tabs next to summary to see if you have ringtones to sync to the iphone.
    Once synced, check Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
    Scroll to the very top and very bottom to see if the custom ringtone section shows.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes will not sync songs onto iPhone, troubleshooting methods not working

    Simply put, songs will not download onto my iPhone.  I have tried every method that I could think of to solve this:
    -restarting phone and mac
    -updating iTunes
    -taking off all the music from the phone and redownloading
    -rechecking the little check thing that says I want that song
    -restoring my phone
    -going onto the individual tab to sync and syncing from there(which leads to a whole other problem, because that deletes songs(story for another thread))
    -manually dragging songs onto my phone icon dropbox thingy
    -making sure the songs are the proper files
    ... and still nothing has worked.
    When I go on my phone menu when its plugged into iTunes, and then go to the 'On Device' section, it shows that the songs are there, but they are faded out with this little circle thing next to them(I don't know if this is significant).
    I'm at my wits end, I just don't know what to do.  I don't understand why iTunes is refusing to do something as simple as sync songs.
    Any ideas? Thank you for any help you can provide!

    UPDATE:
    I finally figured it out (though I'm not sure this counts as 'figuring it out'). 
    So, what worked for me was unchecking the check box thing next to the song and syncing the phone.  After the sync--behold!--, the songs were in my phone.  I don't know if this is another glitch or not, but I'm running with it.
    I wanted to post the answer so that other people who may have had this issue can hopefully resolve it.

  • ITunes 11.4 will not sync ringtones with iPhone 6

    all my ringtones are showing up in itunes but once they've been synced they do not show up on the iphone! help

    I spent half a day yesterday sorting this out but finally a post on one of the other forums solved it...
    Check that your original file is an mR4 file not MPEG. Even if it is mR4, it may have strayed into the Music folder in iTunes rather than the Ringtones folder. I had this same problem - no way to make it move from the Music library into the Ringtone library.
    Apparently the problem is that once a file is in a folder, iTunes doesn't go back again to check the extension. You need to move the original file out of the music folder to, say, the desktop. Make sure it's deleted from the Music library. Then upload it back into iTunes and it should check its file type because now its a new file and put it in the Ringtones folder. Then make sure the new ringtone is selected and sync. This is what worked for me (finally).
    PS: I used Audiko Pro to create the two ringtone files - one worked simply and automatically, the other was a nightmare. When I backed up from my iPhone 5 to iPhone 6, the first one transferred automatically, the second had a mind of its own.

  • Unable to sync apps onto iPhone 4

    Hey guys,
    Just recently, I haven't been to sync some of my apps from iTunes on my computer to my iPhone 4. Whenever I try to sync them on, I get a message reading "Unable to install the app "[insert name]" onto the iPhone "[insert name]" because its resources have been modified. I haven't been playing around with any app modifications, and my iPhone is not jailbroken.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, and even deleting from the iTunes library and redownloading the apps, but I still keep on getting the same message.
    The only way that I am able to get some of these apps onto my iPhone has been to download directly onto my iPhone, but I can't do that with larger apps (200mb+), even with Wifi.
    Any help guys?
    Thanks in advance.

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please?

  • Syncing songs onto iphone

    I have bought songs on itunes, but cannot get them to sync onto my iphone. It tells me that they are not allowed to play on the iphone.

    Do you have your songs authorized on more than 5 devices? (This is the most common reason why iTunes won't let songs sync.) If so you need deauthorize a device.

  • Syncing iMessages onto iPhone

    I just got a replacement iPhone, and unfortunately the backup didn't work right (it's a few months out of date). Is there any way to sync the iMessages that are on my computer/iPad but no longer on my iPhone onto my iPhone?
    Using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4
    Thanks!

    iMessages are only saved in your Backup and not on your computer per say, so there is no way of getting them back after your backup failed

  • New laptop, iTunes won't sync music onto iPhone 4

    I recently got a new laptop (acer) and I wanted to put my music from my phone onto it. I downloaded and installed iTunes, the only songs I had on it were what I brought from iTunes. So I transfered everything from my phone (iPhone 4) onto it. Problem #1. It only transfered the music I had brught from iTunes. No cds I had put onto iTunes transfered. So using a USB, I transferred all of the music I had on my iMac to my my laptop - I put it in the iTunes Media/Music folder of my documents. It didn't go into iTunes, until I dragged it directly from the folder and placed it in iTunes. That was that problem solved. I tried syncing my music and none it it would play. It was all grey writing and had a pink square next to the song name. Nothing worked, excpet for the songs I had brought directly from iTunes. Not even albums I had recently brought and put into my itunes would work.. That was problem #2. Thing is though, after I synced the music onto my, I got a notification on iTunes saying that there were 23 errors and some songs could not be found. These songs were the songs that I brought from iTunes, and could actually play from my phone.
    I've tried updating both iTunes and my phone software, turning my phone on and off, deleteing and reinstalling iTunes. Everything I can thinnk of but nothing will work. I really just want to play my music from my phone... It'll play in iTunes, but just not from my phone.
    Please help!

    this is happening to me as well. I have tried every single "fix" out there that I can find.
    I have restored my phone from backups.
    I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it on my comp
    I have restore to factory settings and started from scratch
    literally nothing is working.

  • Syncing ibooks onto iphone 4

    Has anyone downloaded books on their ipad but they don't show up on their iphone 4 after syncing? I asked the genius bar and they couldn't give me a suitable answer.

    If you downloaded the book directly to the iPad, it won't appear on your iPhone until you sync the iPad to iTunes (if you're not synching automatically, you'll need to use the Transfer Purchases from iPad command) so that the book is then in iTunes, and then sync the book to your iPhone.
    Does that help? If not, please explain further your process and situation.
    Regards.

  • Can't sync music onto iPhone 4 or 5

    A few months ago, I updated my iPhone 4 to ios 6.  It wiped out my music library, and I can't get it to sync.  I've tried many times to no avail.  My daughter got an iPhone 5 for Christmas, and I can't get her music to sync either. We are using iTunes 11. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    On a side note, I have had my iPhone for a while now, and up until recently it would sync music fine. Only within the past two or so months did this problem crop up.

  • Unable to sync music onto iphone despite seeing all my playlists

    Hi
    I'm unable to sync the music and apps on my iphone. The phone has recently being retored and this was the cause of all my problems
    i can see all my music in itunes however I cannot add any songs or edit the playlists.
    When I press sync music it does not do anything.
    Another odd thing is that I see my phone name however there is also "on this phone" in itunes - and this does not contain any of music and does not allow me to add any music.
    please help, how can I get my songs and apps back on my iphone?

  • Unable to sync music onto iPhone 5

    I have just recently received a replacement iPhone 5 from my phone store, however when I have come to restore it from a back up, everything returned to normal apart from my music. I therefore, using my USB cable, connected it into my Apple Mac Air, to try and sync my music this way. All products have the up to date software and all settings are set to sync automatically. I've tried resetting all warnings and cache but this hasn't worked, and I have also manually checked all songs and again this didn't work either. I ensured my wifi was turned off like suggested in previous comments but this isn't working either. I am at my end and starting to get very annoyed!
    Please can someone help!!
