Transfer New Ringtone-Lost iTunes Playlists on iPhone

Hi. I have the latest software on both my iTunes and iPhone 3G(S) and have a problem. I set the phone to NOT sync when plugged into the computer and have the box checked to manage my music files manually. However, every time I add a new ringtone to my phone via iTunes, I lose my phone's playlists on iTunes - NOT my playlists on iTunes, just on the phone. Never used to happen, so don't know why it's happening now.
I just upgraded this morning to the newest software on both, but I don't think it was a gliche in the last ones. Anyone know what maybe is checked or not checked that is causing this to happen? It's really frustrating, so I do not add new ringtones anymore. Thanks for any assistance or suggestions.

While updating through the appstore on my iphone I moved another icon around the screen and then the unit totally resorted all of my icons all over the place.
When I synced (hoping they'd revert to where I preferred each of them to live) nothing changed EXCEPT ringtons UNCHECKED themselves to sync and the option to sync manual audio unchecked.
I didn't notice the last bit until my phone rang and it wasn't my ringtone. I wonder what ELSE changed? Friggin thing.

  • I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iphone without losing what is already on my phone. Help!

    I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iPhone without losing what is already on the phone. On the old iTunes I could drag and drop only the items I wanted on the phone.  On this new version, all I can figure out to do is sync, which is going to remove the songs that are already on the phone. There has to be another way.

    The film would have to be in itunes on your computer.
    You would sync it like you do everything else.

  • How do I transfer music from my itunes playlist to my iphone?

    How do I transfer music from my itunes playlist to my iphone?

    Maddening!!!!! What used to work now doesn't!
    Where did simple drag and drop go? Apple invented it!
    I have an iPhone 5s and want to transfer Playlists from my desktop iMac to the iPhone. I have had these products since their first releases years ago. I am a computer power user. What used to be a simpe "drag and drop" of your Playlist (yes, in Column View which I have turned on now) to your iPhone was easy and you were set. It is now impossible to do. Or easily!
    There are been other posts on this. I have tried them all. None work or the explanations are not adequate.
    WHY IS THIS SAME **** HARD WHEN IT USED TO BE DRAG AND DROP?
    PS: Fire the iTune Product Manager who did this version..get Jony Ive on the case to fix the User Interface Design ASAP!

  • Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone?

    Why am I no longer able to transfer individual songs from itunes to my iPhone? I don't want to sync everything as I have over 2000 songs on my macbook. Please help!

    Hi ckuan,
    Thanks for the tip. I have tried this however, when I select the Sync music box, it wants to remove all of the music that is currently on my iphone. I do not want to do this. What happened to the old "select and drag" option? That was so much easier! I would like to add new music without removing the music that is currently on the iphone.

  • I downloaded Ringtone from iTunes into my iPhone 6 and set it as the default Ringtone. Worked well until I had to recharge my phone. Now disappearred from my iPhone but shows in Tones when phone sync'd. How do I get to show back as default Ringtone

    I downloaded a Ringtone from iTunes into my iPhone 6 and set it as the default Ringtone.Worked well until I had to recharge my phone.The Ringtone has now disappeared from my iPhone and I'm left with just the Ringtones that come standard with iPhone 6. I sync'd my phone and it shows in the Tones folder. How do I get the Ringtone back as a default Ringtone in my iPhone 6. Quite frustrating!!

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

  • Lost iTunes playlists from my iPhone 5

    I suddenly lost my iTunes playlists from my iphone 5. I have not upgraded to ioS 7.1 for two reasons--I don't like the layout, and I only have 1.2 GB of the required 4.1 GB free. Please help!! I have all my songs still in my library on my phone, along with everything except for my playlists. I hope they are hidden, not deleted. Everything is intact on my iTunes account on my desktop computer.

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.  No data will be lost.
    All playlists and content should be in iTunes on the computer, if nothing else, sync the device to the computer.

    That's irrelevant.

    There is no free space requirement to update the device via iTunes on the computer.  This is also the preferred method to update iOS.

  • Can't drag and drop apps and ringtones from itunes into the iphone.

    I'm sure it's something that I have to enable in itunes or the iphone, but I can't seem to drag and drop my apps or ringtones from itunes. This started when I got a replacement phone from my provider. I can't transfer them on my itunes. I get a block icon when I try to drag and drop. So the only way to get all the apps back is by re-downloading on the phone itself, but some apps are huge and I wouldn't want to do that. All the apps I backed up and even new ones I purchased can't seem to transfer. I tried deauthorizing and authorizing, re-downloading apps, syncing. So far nothing. Any tips?

    Thanks for trying but your answer is incorrect, according to an email I received today from HP Connected:
    "I have reviewed your email. I understand that you have questions related to rearranging the order of the apps on the printer. I know this can be frustrating, and I want you to know you're certainly valuable to us and I want to do everything possible to ensure your complete satisfaction. The following information should provide the answers you need:
    1) Unfortunately when HP launched the new website (www.hpconnected.com) they did not include a method of rearranging the apps on the printer. They may include this feature in a future update, however as this time it is not available.
    2) If you have made the upgrade from eprintcenter to HP Connected you do not have the option of returning. Eprintcenter is in the process of being eliminated and unfortunately retuning to the old site is not possible."
    I hope <<S-O-O-N>> HP fixes this new website -- it's crazy to take away any controls like this from their customers and not either embellish them or at least leave them be.
    I may take this 7610 OJ back for a new Brother 11x17 all-in-one --- they look nice )
