Transfer ringtones not synced with itunes to new phone

I have an iPhone 4s that has ringtones on it. They have not been synced with iTunes and don't show up in the Tones Library when I sync. When I look at the sync options in iTunes and select Sync Tones, I get a message "Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to "My Phone" from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library." I'm hesitant to do that because I'm afraid I'll lose the ringtones I actually have on my phone.
Two questions:
1. If I Sync Tones with my iPhone 4s, will I lose the tones that are on my phone?
2. I now have an iPhone5s that I want to get those ringtones on. How can I do that?

IPod Touch will not sync with iTunes on new computer

I recently got a new computer (Dell to HP, which shouldn't make any difference). I downloaded iTunes on the new computer and was able to get all my music, tv shows, and movies onto my new computer using a Flash Drive.
I have contacted iTunes help twice now and they have basically given me nothing to work with. I have all the updated software (2.2.1 or so), and I have restore my iPod Touch about 3 times because I was told this would work.
When I try to sync my iPod Touch, it tells me that it could not sync because certain songs "could not be found". I have every single one of my purchases and stuff from CDs on my iTunes and I just want this fixed so I can use my iPod Touch again.
My iPod is now empty except for a few applications and pictures that, for some reason, were able to get past all that and can be synced. If anyone has had this problem, please please please help me. I am getting very close to ripping my hair out with frustration and/or throwing my iPod Touch out of the window.

unless you do TWO (and I mean BOTH) things... 1) put the audio files in the same path as on the old laptop... and 2) copied over (or exported) library info, you will have to do something else... and all it is, is to tell the itunes to "add folder".
Once you add the folder, just consolidate it.
When I bought my new laptop, I had copied my music library and the extra account information. I restored the account info, but put my music in a different location (on a completely separate drive, which has saved me a few times since). So I had to change the preferences to point to the correct location, and it picked up ALL the songs.
I've since done a recovery on my new laptop a few times... and unfortunately I didn't save a copy of the account info (my old laptop has "glitched" out since, and I have no access to that info either). So even though my music is still there, I have to tell iTunes to "add folder", even though I changed the preferences to use that same folder as its library.

My new iPad will not sync with iTunes?

I was given a new ipad2 by apple shop under warranty however when I got it home it would not sync with iTunes .

Try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
assuming yur problem is that the iPad does not appear in iTunes.

My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to lastest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

My new ipad will not sync with itunes. the device does not show up in itunes

my new ipad will not sync with itunes. the device does not show up in itunes. I am on a Windows system

Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded? If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized. With iTunes open, click on Store at the top. Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them. Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP

I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
Here's some other option for Windows users.
First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

Iphone 4 will not sync with itunes. I tunes will freeze when it says waiting for sync to start . I can not put any media on my device ! please help !!!

Please help me figure out why my iphone 4 will not sync with itunes. I wish to prevent wiping the device clean if possible.

I have had exactly the same problem before, I have followed the guide as suggested to the letter and still no joy, each time (3 times now) that I have reinstalled the latest version of iTunes it is recognised and syncs with my iphone but with the next reboot of my computer it is gone again.
Try to refer this article about [how to transfer iPhone contents to computer|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/Howto_transer_or_backup_iPhone_contents_toPC].
Hope it works you out.

HT1414 My Nano will not sync with iTunes.

Nano will not sync with iTunes. I get an error to retry or to reinstall. I've tried most of the troubleshooting suggestions on the website. I have not reinstalled. My iPhone and iPad both sync with no issues. The computer recognizes the Nano. Is reinstalling my only option? This started when I tried to update my devices with new music. I noticed the error the next morning before my run and my Nano all the sudden had no music. Went to re-sync and I received the error.

It could be a number of issues, such as the soddering that connects the 30-pin adapter that then connects to your computer could have come loose. However that is unlikely unless you have dropped your device a lot. But for anyone to be of more assistance you will need to provide more information. Such as: does the divice still show up in iTunes? If not then you may have to put it into DUF mode, or you could bring it in to your nearest apple store and see how much help they can be. Caution: once in DUF mode you should be able to restore the device to its orginal settings and the newest software, but you will have to re-sync your libary, redo all of your selections ect. unless you have a local backup on your coumputer which you should be able to acess by [option]-click the restore button and selecting the latest backup, (at least I believe its [option]-click).
Hope this helps.

iphone 5 will not sync with itunes stating that I must update itunes to 10.7, itunes tells me it is up to date at 10.6. How can I get my new phone to sync with old computer?

You need to install Mac OS X 10.6, which requires an Intel Mac and at least 1GB RAM.

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.
