What happens to ring tones purchased and downloaded on iphones but not available on my itunes account, can I retrieve them?

are my downloads purchased with my iphone through itunes gone if I did not back-up first before my device sync?

Hi Liz Al,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you synced your iPhone to your computer, the ringtone should be in your iTunes library.
Ringtones can only be downloaded once.
Using the iTunes Store for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1491
Tones
You cannot purchase ringtones and alert tones from your computer, but you can purchase them using your iOS device with iOS 5 or later. You can purchase tones on iPad, iPhone (3GS or later), and iPod touch (4th generation or later).
To locate tones in iTunes on an iOS device:
Tap the iTunes app.
Tap Tones. If Tones is not visible, tap More > Tones.
Browse for tones. Once you purchase a tone, a dialog is displayed. The dialog gives you an option to set your new tone as your default tone or assign it to a Contact. If you don't want to do anything with the tone just yet, simply tap Done.
Tones purchased using your iOS device are synced to your iTunes library when you connect your device to your computer. On an iPod touch or iPhone, you can find tones in Settings > Sounds. On an iPad, you can find tones in Settings > General > Sounds.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
- Judy

TS1424 I have purchased and downloaded an album, but some of the songs did not download correctly as the songs are not complete. How do I redownload them without purchasing the album again.

I have purchased and downloaded an album, but some of the songs did not download correctly as the songs are not complete. How do I redownload them without purchasing the album again.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the track and try redownloading fresh copies.
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Regarding iTunes U courses, would I be able to link to books/sites (like say an amazon hardback book or link to a kindle book they can purchase and download). Considering that not all books are available on iBooks I'm hoping this is allowed.   Also the possibility on monetizing since amazon gives commission for linking.
This question is for both the uncredited (private) courses and the bigger accredited accounts.    I am a developer trying to learn how to help my area schools and also have some ideas for my own courses.    Obviously keeping within the iTunes U app would be preferred in most cases (to the learning experience) since they can take notes and see them within the app itself.
If the reply comes from a non-apple employee please let me know (or better yet, link to) where that is clarified.   I would hate to develop something just to later find out it is against the apple iTunes U agreement.

Fair question
And, to be even more fair, I have to tell you that I get that every single day. And it's getting worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).
I always try to let people know it's a long way until you get to a confortable point, a point where you can create something. And that's exactly what I am trying to do, or at least asking how/if I should do it. And then I let them know where to start. That's what I want.
Thanks.

I signed up for iCloud and downloaded everything for it. According to my iTunes account, everything should be swell, but when I try to sign into the Cloud, it tells me my Apple ID is valid but it's not an iCloud account. What do I do??

Hi DesCoop,
You must initiallly activate iCloud from an IOS device or a Mac. You cannot inititally activated from a PC.
Sorry.

Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
In addition, not all movie students have agreed, and not all movies are available from those studios that have, even in countries where movies are in general available.

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on Mac?

Why can I open attachments (pptx and PDF) on iPhone but not on my MacAir (OS X 10.9.2)? Generally, I can open PDFs on my Mac, but in this case, I opened on iPhone, and not on computer! Also pptx file from one sender opened on iPhone, and not on Mac, and the same pptx sent from another person wouldn't open on either! Help!

Hi there. I think as far as PowerPoint files go (pptx) you will need a copy of Office or some other compatible software (e.g. Keynote) to open it on your Mac. On an iPhone there is a viewer built in just so you can take a look at most common attachment types. If you have a copy of Microsoft Office on your Mac you should be able to open the pptx files in PowerPoint.
OS X definitely has a PDF viewer, it's called Preview. I think you can also load Adobe Acrobat if you want but I've stayed away from it for years as I find Preview faster and better.
If you still can't open a PDF file attached to an email message on your MacAir by double clicking on it, could you let us know what error message you get, or what happens? That will help people to help you.

I see all of my calendar events in iCal and on my iPhone, but not in the iCloud web app. Any ideas why?

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

HT1386 2 days ago did sync via wifi with Ipad and it wiped out my notes.   anyone know if they can be retrieved anywhere?

2 days ago did sync via wi-fi with Ipad2 and it wiped out my notes.   Anyone know if they can be retrieved and how?
Also today decided to try to sync with I cloud and it wiped out my contacts. contacts did not go to outlook either.   Fortunately they are still on Ipod touch, but i am afraid to do anymore syncing.   Not the first time I have done a sync!

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question is not related to. You'll get better support responses by posting to the Using iPad forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad

Already asked AT&T and Apple Support. Updated iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3, some older Visual Voicemails disappeared. Just noticed today. Not backed up in iTunes. Can I get them back?

New to this site, sorry if I didn't enter my question correctly ... Updated iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3, some older Visual Voicemails disappeared. Just noticed today. Not backed up in iTunes. Can I get them back?

HALF-SOLUTION!!!! (Restoring only, basically.)
Restore the phone via iCloud.com
1. Go to iCloud.com , and log in.
2. If you want a back up, make sure you back it up to itunes now!
3. Now back to iCloud.com - select the device you want. Press "Erase iPhone" (or iPad, iPod whatever).
You will go through a few steps. Skip the phone number and leave a message, as it isn't lost. Your phone will be restored. No need for plugging in!
4. IMPORTANT: Just set it up as usual. Language, country blah. But then you'll get to a step where it says something like "This iPhone was erased with iCloud. Log in with the Apple ID you used to erase it". In this case, my Dad's. So please do that. Later on, the phone will ask for an Apple ID to be used for the phone. I put my own one as I didn't want my dads!!!! Lol....
5. Plug into iTunes and back-up.
As for updating, I'm still on 7.0.2,,, it ain't working on my phone or itunes!! :(

If you did not configure FindmyIPod on it, I'm afraid you are out of luck. Report the theft to the local authorities and change the passwords to any and all accounts you have may used/accessed or configured on the iPod Touch.

I purchased and downloaded a book for my iPod. My iTunes folder acknowledges that I bought this, but I can't load it to my iPod

I purchased and downloaded an audiobook, and it won't synch.

I can sync everything else, but the audiobook does not get to the pod. I have tried putting the audiobook on various playlists, but the book doesn't show up on the pod with everything else. I do have my sync set for audiobooks, and actually had 14 of them that did sync. I tried removing all of them and just synching this newest one, and nothing showed up on my pod. I bought it from iTunes.

Books download on iPhone but not on my iPad, please help

Lately some books that I purchase and download onto my iPhone 4S won't download onto my iPad mini. The books will show up in the bookstore on my iPad mini, with the download bar you usually see on books, except the download doesn't start. I am able to use and and read them on my iPhone but not my iPad mini. I have tried turning my iPad off, downloading other books so that I can put my apple password in, but nothing has changed for those three books on my iPad. Please help. Thank you everyone.

I have re-booted the entire network which involved turning the router of and I always leave it of for at least 30 seconds before switching back on. while I go round the house pwering down switches and rebooting them - hte whole process takes several minutes and I always switch router first and back on last.
