Why can't I use my self-made ringtones anymore?

I've been using Amadeus Pro for over a year to convert sound files from .mp3 .m4a and .aiff to "iPhone Ringtone".
I don't know why the process of putting the ringtone on my iPhone 4 stopped working, but it's a major disappointment to me..
Usually, I drag the ringtone straight over from the Finder window to the iTunes window and drop it in the ringtone section, then plug in my iPhone and put the ringtone on it's own ringtone list, and test it out by setting the sound as my defalut ringtone.
Today, I dropped the ringtone over my iPhone as usual, and it showed up on the music section.
I deleted the ringtone from that list and opened the sound file in the Finder. Then, opened the ringtone section in iTunes. I manually dropped the ringtone file into the ringtone section on my iPhone's list, iTunes flashed the names of a few song names across the progress bar, and did nothing at all but mark the ringtone with a double-arrow circle. I clicked on the ringtones in the iTunes ringtone folder, it played both perfectly. But still, my iPhone refuses to recognize the existance of the sound files in the correct destination.
The sounds I tried were A: the "purr" sound I located in the system files, and B: a segment of an adult male Grackel's voice I recorded with my iPhone.
Both were edited with Amadeus Pro, saved as "iPhone Ringtone", and put through the same formerly tedeous-but-reliable process.
My question is: Why did this process stop working?
My hypothesis is that it has something to do with the latest iPhone update.
                                                  Detailed delineation would be very helpful...

Is ringtone > 35 seconds? If true then you have to shorten it.
Check using Get Info in iTunes, is Ringtone has Ringtone in Kind?

  • Why can't I use 'open message in conversation' anymore?

    We are 4 users and two of them have version 24.3.0 and two are on 24.4.0.
    We use the option of 'open message in conversation' a lot and all of a sudden this option is no longer available. Is there a setting which could have been changed to make this happen?
    The only thing that changed was that I rearranged our folders using 'manually sort folders' - could this be it?
    Any messages with a thread from before yesterday are still available with 'open message in conversation' but anything from the afternoon yesterday are not even showing the option when you right click and using the short ctrl swift O is doing nothing.
    Any suggestions what could be wrong are very welcomed.

    Unfortunately the add on changed the whole layout in Thunderbird so had to remove it.

  • Why can't I save changes I made to a photo using the zoom feature?

    why can't I save changes I made to photo that I use the zoom feature. I zoom in and set it the way I want but when I click done it reverts the photo back to it's original size.

    When you zoom you're not chnaging the image at all, just looking at more closely, like using binoculars. Using binoculars doesn't actually bring the object closer. So with zooming. I think you might want to explore cropping.

  • Why can't I use adobe flash player to open attachments

    Why can't I use adobe to open attachments - have downloaded latest version but still get a black page

    You're probably using IE11. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser, at least until Microsoft gets their act together and fixes IE..
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Why can't I use iPad first gen with iMovie?

    Why can't I use iMovie with the first gen iPad? 

    It does not have a camera.
    iMovie iOS is made to edit video recorded on the device.
    Some also suggest that the processor is not fast enough.
    I doubt it, but those are the best suggestions I have heard.

  • Why can't I use iDisk for a back-up disk for Time Capsule?

    G'Day All,
    I am new to apple and mostly am loving it! Being new to this product has me asking some basic questions, like ... why can't I use iDisk for a back-up disk for Time Capsule?
    Here I have something like 20 gb disk space available, but it seems I need to buy an external hard drive (or an airport) in order to use, what I believe is one of apples greatest inventions, the Time Machine...
    Can anyone correct my flawed understanding or, better yet, teach me how to do it properly?
    Cheers
    Gabriel

    Speed makes sense, but I thought I had plenty of size available ... never mind! Looking over some of the other posts, it looks as though I'd be better off with an external Hard drive than the Apple Time Capsule (if I want more than 12-18months service).
    That was true of some of the ones made a couple of years ago (many of which Apple replaced way beyond the warranty period, and even some beyond the 3-year AppleCare period). Presumably Apple has fixed the power supply problem in the newer units, so they'll last longer.
    If you don't have AppleCare for your Mac, I'd strongly suggest buying it. If you do, and buy a TimeCapsule, Airport, or other accessory within 2 years, it's covered, too.
    But unless you need a wireless router, yes, paying for one in a Time Capsule doesn't make sense. A good external HD is a much better buy.
    thank you for the links - I am still getting used to the way Apples work ...

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

  • Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    3-D is very memory intensive.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
    ** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

  • Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
    iOS version 6.1.6
    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:
    1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
    2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
    3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
    4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

    why can't i use credit card on app store its money on it and its an visa card

    Credit cards do need to be from the same country as your account, which may or may not apple, but if you're visiting from another country and trying to use, for example, a UK card in the US app store, it won't work.
    Could you have typo'd a number? Or could the card be expired?

    Is this a visa gift card? I seem to recall people having issues with credit card gift cards.
