Unable to sync ringtones or music to phone

My phone will sync all contacts and apps but when I try to sync ringtones or songs I get a message that says my phone is synced to another library. I have itunes authorized on 2 computers but I have never tried to sync to one of them. This problem started after getting my phone replaced under warranty and updating to ios4 and itunes 10.
Any help would be appreciated.

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only regardless if more than one computer is authorized with the same iTunes account.
If this is the same computer you have been syncing your iPhone with for iTunes content, all iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on this computer. Your iPhone will be erased of all music first, but this should not prevent you from re-transferring your selected music from the iTunes library on this computer to your iPhone.

Unable to sync ringtones to 4Gs

I have iTunes on my PC and I am unable to sync my 4Gs to my ringtones. The ringtones were purchased through iTunes and are not custom. Everything else on my phone will sync. I have tried to sync all the ringtones together and also seperately. Nothing seems to work. Can you help?

Unable to move ringtone or music by drag and drop and other ways.

Hello,
I recently got a new computer and its Windows 7. I downloaded iTunes, the newest version (11.1.4.62), on 1/31/2014. On my previous computer I had older version of iTunes and was able to simply drag and drop everything.
In this new version I found trouble with adding music but I figured that out. Next I wanted to add a ringtone but I was having trouble. I was able to add the ringtone to itunes-Library-Tones (format m4r) but after this I am unable to add it to devices-tones. I tried drag and drop, I tried sync and it simply wont work. If i try to drag and drop a song straight to my devices it wont allow that either. I am even unable to delete any songs that I have on my iphone through iTunes. I also had voice memos on m phone and I cant even edit that section or voice memos.
Someone please help! this is very frustrating that I can't remove, add, edit my iphone through iTunes.

Syncing ringtones and music

I am new to iTunes so I am looking to someone for some guidance. When I create a ringtone and then sync to the phone, iTunes will then remove all my music, video, etc from my iPhone. Obviously, this could be rather annoying if each time I want to add a ringtone, I have to then go back and add my music as well. My question is if this really what will always happen when adding a ringtone or do I have some option checked incorrectly someplace? Any help that you could give would be appreciated.

I do only sync to one machine. When I check the box to sync my ringtones (under the ringtone tab), a dialogue pops up asking if I am sure I want to do this because it will remove all other media files. Right now it's not a big deal because I haven't loaded up my iphone yet. But eventually...

Since I updated by iTunes to the newest 11.1.4, I'm unable to sync any new music onto my iPhone 4s

I run a macbook pro and haven't had any issues with my iPhone/iTunes previously. Right now my phone will only play purcahsed music and literally random other songs (it'll play three from a CD, but not the others). I've tried checking/unchecking playlists and all that stuff, the only things I haven't tried are resetting my phone and re-installing iTunes. I'd like to avoid doing either, but are there any other options for me?

there is not a way to transfer those playlists to that itunes library from your phone, but heres an idea to help you out.
take screen shots of the playlists on your phone then when they get deleted after the sync you'll have to re-create them but at least you'll know what was in them

Syncing issues and music on phone will not play.

I recently syned my I-phone to my computer and noticed many of my songs were not successfully copied to my library for some reason? Since doing so and to top it off, when I go to play the music on my I-Phone it just skips over majority of the songs! Please help, if anyone has any suggestions It would be greatly apprecicated. Thank you.

Something is up with the jack, no? I tried to plug my desktop speakers in directly, since I cannot play my own music through my 2ND COMPUTER at work off of my iPhone (yet another point of complete absurdity from this iPhone). I tried to plug the typical jack from the speakers directly into the headphone jack and it doesn't quite connect like it does on other devices and the music plays through my iPhone speakers. Why is this?

Unable to sync apps to my i phone

thanks in advance

"you won't be charged twice"....ummm...I downloaded mine to my computer from a connection that is basically for free but my iphone is 0.2c per kB = $2000 per GB....isn't there a way to simply transfer a program from my computer to my iphone?

Unable to sync DRM free music to AppleTV

I recently purchase an album from itunes and recently converted it to the DRM free option. When the album synced with my apple tv, the album and the album art should up correctly along with the number of tracks in the album, but no music, the album summary reports "0 songs". Has anyone seen this before and is there a workaround?
I have already wiped the apple tv by de-linking it with my mac and reauthorizing it and my itunes account. Still no luck. Can the sync processs be forced? Is this a media problem? This is the only album i have noticed this with. Incidentally, I was playing the album in itunes when it updated the DRM free content.
Any help would be appreciated. It is very interesting...

It's a tagging issue. the artist and album artist fields need to be identical or the album artist field needs to be empty. Putting differing info into each of these fields results in the problem you are describing.

HT1386 unable to sync computer itunes music library to ipod

Have older model ipod touch without camera which has 153 songs on it .I recently added a new album from a cd, not purchased from itunes,but it now is only on the itunes library & won't transfer over to the ipod. What do I need to do ?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Since updating itunes to version 10 my ipod classic will not sync any new music that I have added to itunes, can anyone help

I recently updated iTunes to version 10.3.1.55. Since then when I try to sync my IPod classic it says on the top of iTunes (where the barbers pole is) "Step 1of1 Determining Tracks to Sync". This stays like that for about 15 minutes before a message pops up saying "Itunes could not copy ""song title name here"" to the Ipod because an unknown error occurred (-50)". This message pos up for every song title that has been added to itunes since the itunes update. Therefore I am unable to sync any new music. This only happens when syncing the ipod as the iphone syncs with no problems.
Does any one have a solution?

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

I have iphone 3 and for some reason I have lost all my downloaded ringtones and music on my phone and when I sync with my computer it won't reload it? Any suggestions?

I have an iphone 3 and I have lost all my downloaded ringtones and music but when I sync with itunes it will not load it back on my phone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

When you sync with itunes on your computer make sure you have all the songs that you want to sync selected in the music tab in itunes when you connect your phone. Also with your phone connected click on the tones tab and make sure all the ringtones you want are selected there then sync

I bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working

i bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working.
I saw cidya aap so i m not sure if it was jailbroken or not before but it is back to normal settings.
My problem started when I tried to sync my music files. I pressed 'sync' all it says is waiting for sync start, preparing to sync and then waiting for the changes to be applied. but it does not sync at all.
I found a way to sync my music files through autofill but I really wanted to sync ringtones but its not syncing and I really wanted to put ringtones in my phone please help.

If you see the cidya app, your iPhone is hacked with the cutsie term for this being jailbroken. This also means all the built in security has been removed making the iPhone as insecure as an android device.
Restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to get rid of that hacking garbage. If the iPhone has hacked to be unlocked, the iPhone will no longer be unlocked when doing so.

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

I have the new iPhone 4s. I'm using cloud. I try to sync my playlists to my phone an it either erases them completely or keeps saying it cannot move all music files over? Please help. Also my purchased ringtones will not sync up as well.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?
