How do i get my ringtones to sync from my computer to my iphone? Ive tried everything

Help im mystified..i cant get my ringtone off my computer itunes back on my iphone

The same way any other content is synced to the device.
Connect the device to the computer.
Open iTunes.
Select the content desired to be synced.
Sync.

HT4236 How can you create a photo Album on your iPhone and import that Album onto your computer (in my case a PC)? It appears you can only sync from the computer to the iPhone, which is the opposite direction of what's desired in this case.

It appears that sync'ingis pretty much one way, from the desktop to the device. If you create a folder on the desktop that is synced through iTunes with the iPhone, that folder appears as an Album in Pictures on the device. But on the device you cannot add photos to that synced Album, so there is no way to use the desktop-based Album as an evolving target for new pictures on the phone, unless you do all the additions on the desktop software.
This really isn't "syncing".
Further, if you create a new Album on the iPhone, it doesn't appear in the sync'ed folders on the desktop.
The configuration for this discussion is iTunes 11 on Windows PC, iPhone 4S, and Windows Photo Gallery for picture editing on the PC.
I'd like to have Albums and PC-based Picture Folders truly sync'ed. Am I missing something or is this truly an iTunes Photo Sync'ing deficiency?

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

HT5622 Why I can't download music and video from my computer to my iphone 5s?

Why I can't download music and video from my computer to my iphone 5s?

No idea, since you provide no info at all about your issue.

HT1296 I have switched from a Exchange account to an imap account and now my contacts won't sync from my computer to my iPhone - what to do?

I have switiched from an Exchange account (which I just deleted) to a imap account account. But I can't seem to get my contacts to sync from my laptop onto my new account.
What should I do?

What do you mean the ones "unique" to your phone? If you were not syncing them with something, they are gone. They are only part of the backup to preserve the list of favorite numbers and recent calls.
Don't worry about having to restore the previous OS. You can not do so at all.

HT4236 There HAS to be a way to get photos that were synced from the computer on to the iPad OFF of the iPad in a different way than having to email each individual photo back to oneself. And you can't delete them either, using up vital storage

My Ipad2 has photos synced from my main computer on it, taking up vital storage. I cannot remove them at all, and the folks at the Genius Bar can't help either. Apparently there is no way to remove them unless they were originally taken by the Ipad2 camera. And the only way you can get copies of those photos back on to the computer or another device is to individually email EACH photograph.
There has to be a way to remove these pics to free up the storage.
I almost was unable to load the new operating system because of the amount of photos on the iPad,which ended up on the iPad as a mistake in the first place during an early syncing when it was first purchased.
This is a HUGE glitch in the system. If you know otherwise, please advise!

TS4062 Have just upgraded and can't get my apps to sync from iTunes on pc to iPhone

I have just upgraded to iPhone 4s and can't get my apps to sync fr iTunes on my pc?

For some reason the above questions I asked are designated as solved. They definitely have not been solved!!! I cannot get my calendars to sync between my iPhone 6 Plus and my iMac program iCal. Apparently I don't know how to use this forum. I hope someone will be able to understand my message and have an answer or suggestions on how to take care of this. It's important that my calendars on my phone and computer match at all times. I have missed appointments because of this.

How do I sync from the computer to the iphone only?

I want to sync a new iphone to my existing computer with all my info on it. The iphone has someone's old info on it and I want to replace that info with all of mine, but I want to be sure when I sync it doesn't take any info from the phone and put it in my itunes, contacts, calendar, etc.

The music sync is one way - Computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
The iphone will only sync itunes content with one computer at a time. If you sync to a different computer it will erase the current contennt and replace with the content of the new computer.
The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selcted content of your computer.

Why cant i get any songs to go on my ipod touch when I sync it?

I have synced my ipod several times in the past. It is only 5 months old. I have owned several ipod and an ipad in the past and never had this problem before. I synced it tonight to add a few songs. I have "sync only checked songs" clicked. I finished to sync and checked the ipod and there were many songs missing. I tried a few more times and still could not get all of the songs on there. I then tried restoring the ipod. I synced it after the restore and there were no songs, videos, apps, or anything on the ipod. I have since restored and synced it several times with no success. There is NOTHING on the ipod. It shows it syncing, it shows ech song going on there and each video and when the sync completes, there is nothing on hte ipod. I have used all 4 usb ports and 3 different cables just incase it was a problem with one of those. Does anyone know what to do? Has anyone else had this problem? oh, and this happened right after I updated to 4.3.3

I have exactly the same problem and am extremely frustrated. I have reset it, restored it rebooted the computer and stil nothing at all. This is a very recent problem as I have synced it only a few weeks ago with no problem.

Why cant i get my songs back in my iphone

ok so i recently got a new phone and tried to restore a back up from my old phone. everything was fine but i noticed for some reason some of the songs in one of the albums wouldnt copy. after seeing it was due to the files being moved i recopied them again into my playlist and phone and deleted the missing unplayable files. despite this only one song went missing and i was like no big deal it's just one song. so i kept getting new music and then after a synch, the song was back in the phone, however, half of the other songs from the album went missing. and i tried to put them back in my phone and it wont let me, like it doesnt even show to be synching or any signs of it doing anything. i made over 5 playlists to copy in the phone because this is how i resolved my issue last time. however it still showed that only one song. so i thought maybe if i delete the album off my phone maybe i can get the whole album back no problem. so i did but now i can't even get that one song back literally my iphone won't do anything after i try to drag the music to it and i made playlist after playlist and nothing and i just want to know why cause it is not the first time this has happened where i synch and songs go missing or the artwork is missing in my phone but not on the computer and i really dont know what i'm supposed to do like this update made so much stuff unecessarily complicated and i dont know how to use it or what i can do to get that album back because everytime i synch it songs go missing or songs i deleted three months ago come back instead of the ones i want to actually be back on my phone or it deletes artwork for the albums please help i'm very frustrated every move i make is a mistake

In general when syncing the device won't give the desired results the following steps should work.
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I recently bought a new computer and cannot get my ipod to sync from this computer. My purchased songs are also not on iTunes anymore? How can I fix this?

I recently bought a new computer and I cannot get it to sync with my iPod. I also cannot see my purchased songs in iTunes on my new computer? I'm not sure how to fix this.

follow the steps given here...
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

I can't get all music to sync from my iMac to my iPhone 5.

My iTunes library looks normal enough. BUT, when I try to sync playlists, albums, etc to my phone, not everything syncs. When I look at the music listing on my phone (through iTunes) some of the songs show up in very light text or have a circled exclamation point next to them. I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but last Spring I switched to an iMac from a very old Dell. I transferred that iTunes library to my iMac by way of external hard drive. Anyway, this problem is driving me crazy. Am I going to have to start my iTunes library completely over from scratch? What happens to all of my purchased songs?
A little help please??? Thanks in advance
