Why won't my ringtones play after I updated to iOS 5.1.1?

I hardly ever update my iPhone 4 because it honestly takes too long for how impatient I am. Up until today, it had probably been at least a year since I updated it. I decided to let it update and I was very happy with the features I have now. Of course, when I saw I could set a text tone, I immediately made a custom tone and synced my phone so I could set it. After setting the tone I had someone text me so I could make sure it worked. It didn't. I got the text but there was absolutely no sound. I made sure my sound was on with the switch thing on the side and went to setting to make sure my ringer volume was all the way up. After I verified all of this I had them text me again and I still didn't get any sound when my phone recieved the text. I had them call me instead, hoping that at least my custom ringtone would work. It was still silent. Does anyone know how to fix this? Am I just missing some setting?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Some of my songs won't play after I updated to iOS 7

Before I updated my phone to iOS 7 all of my music was playing normally, but after I updated there are several songs that are not playing. When I look at them in the music app, it won't let me click on the song and on the right side there is a red square with a red circle surrounding it.

I encountered the same problem yesterday and found the solution after seeing this same issue posted on Apple support over multiple dates since September. I followed the advice of one commenter and did a restore procedure of the iphone and that solved the issue. The commenter provided a link to a non-apple web site and the instructions differed only slightly from Apple's instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414. I can't find the original advice or that site right now but here's what I did:
1. ensured that only the usb end of my sync cable was attached to my computer with itunes open.
2. held the home and top buttons down simultaneously on my untethered iPhone to power it off.
3. Keeping my finger on the home phone only, connected the iPhone to the other end of the sync cable that was connectd to my computer (fyi, I use a macbook pro and back up everthng to iCloud)
4. the warning message came up in iTunes about are you sure you want to restore all your media and other data (on the phone) will be erased. You can click cancel or restore; I chose restore. It took a while but all my apps, photos and music returned to my iPhone without the red circles with red squares on some tracks.
Background: I updated to ios 7 back in September with no problems. Yesterday, I imported new digital audio to my itunes library and then went to sync, it appeared that I was way over capacity on my iphone. I tried removing pictures and apps I don't use. That brought memory down, but the sync would not correct the red circle/squre issue of certain tracks in my music on my iPhone. These files played fine in iTunes on the computer. On the Apple thread where I found the advice that I've posted that worked, that person had spoken to an Apple person on the phone who believed that a file must have gotten corrupted on the iPhone and recommended the restore. I think the same happened to me. The new digital audio files which I had imported into iTunes were mp3s which worked fine in iTunes, but must have gotten corrupted during the first sync. I converted to aac and shrunk to 128, but whenever I tried to sync, things looked normal (except for a diagnostic message) but the waiting to copy took way to long and when things finally started to copy, it was so slow that he sync just quit on its own. THEN I noticed that all the music that had the red circle/squares were files that I had originally put into iTunes from CDs - so, music not purchased via iTunes. These were imported quite a while back. Fortunately, they were all backed up to the cloud and restore of the iPhone worked. All that music is back and I don't get the diagnostic message or slow wait and quit problem now.

Why won't Home Sharing play Protected AAC files on iOS 7?

The Details
iTunes 11.1.3 on an Early 2009 iMac running 10.8.5
Two iPhone Fives running iOS 7.04
iPad 2 running 7.04
iPad running iOS 5.1.1
When sharing my iTunes library from my iMac, protected AAC files will not play on my iOS devices running iOS 7.0.4, however they will play on my wife's old iPad running iOS 5.1.1. Also, I've noticed that music purchased from the iTunes store comes or came in two different flavors, purchased AAC files and Protected AAC files. So, while my devices running 7.0.4 won't play protected AAC files, all of my devices will play purchased AAC files.
I don't know if it matters, but all four of the devices are using my Apple ID in Settings > Music > Home Sharing, and one of the iPhones and the old iPad are used by my wife and in Settings > iCloud > is a different ID for her iCloud Account.
What gives?
Thank you
Cloudhr

The protected AAC files WILL play on her iPad running iOS 5.1.1. They WON'T play on any of our iOS devices running iOS 7.0.4. All the files were imported into my iTunes library using the same Apple ID. There is only one iTunes account which uses my Apple ID and credit card info. All of our devices sync to my iTunes library in my administarator account on my my iMac.
Thank you

Why won't my camera work after I update my Iphone 3GS to IOS 6.0.1?

After I updated my phone to IOS 6, it worked fine. But once I updated to IOS 6.0.1, my camera will no longer work. Sometimes it freezes my phone, and my phone goes through 2 resets. Sometimes it just sits at the screen waiting for the shutter to open, and it just does nothing. Other times it acts like it is having a seizure, and then shuts off and brings me back to my home screen like the app just reset.

User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from a backup, restore as a new device. Try those steps.

HT1390 why won't my rental play after downloading?

I just get a blank screen after clicking play. My internet connection is okay.
Any ideas?
Otis

Thanks a lot for that! Seems to have done the trick. I wonder if you might know the answer to this though? As my Apple TV was frozen (until you helped me!) and I really had to view a movie in a hurry, I went and re-rented on my iMac. The download happened, but will not play. Any ideas?

Why won't my ringtones sync after stupid upgrade?

I completed the stupid upgrade and not half my ringtones won't sync to phone, they show up in my 'library' and on my phone in itunes, but not actually on my stupid iphone. ***

You can only sync with one computer and the iPod see the computer as a new computer

If all the synced media like apps and music are on the rebuilt computer then just backup the iPod and restore from that backup

Why won't my apps open after I updated them ?

A few days ago I updated all my apps that needed updates (about 14). However , 2 of those apps didn't update right away (Flixster and TheScore sports) and an error message was displayed which I stupidly did not read and just pressed ok. After I pressed Ok the 2 apps were updated, however there was a problem , they would not open. If I click on the icon literally nothing happens , it turns a shade darker for a few seconds and then goes back to how it was. No screen or anything opens up when I try to open both Flixster and TheScore. At first I thought it was the app so I tried to download the same app on my friends phone but it worked perfectly fine. I also tried to delete the app and re-download it again , but it still won't open. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this ??

Nevermind , I tried a soft reset and everything was fixed

Why won't my iTunes open after I updated my Mac Mini to iOS 8.1?

I updated my software to iOS 8.1 and today I opened up my Mac mini, and tried to open iTunes, but it just kept closing out as soon as I tried to open it and I can't open it up... What can I do to fix this?

Ok, your iOS update has no bearing on your iTunes crashing on your Mac Mini.
Have you tired opening iTunes in a different user?
Have you tried opening iTunes in safe mode?
This does not fix anything just gives us more to go on to solve your problem.

Why won't this song play even after I authorized the computer? It says that I need to authorize the computer, then I enter my username and password and it says the computer is already authorized. But then the song still won't play. What do I do?

Use the Apple ID support -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ - click through the contact information and select the iTunes, etc., hot button. You can have Apple call you or email them.

Why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s?

why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s? it was playing thru the music app but now it's not playing. It show the song but doesn't do anything.

I had this issue when I first upgraded my Iphone4 to ios5. All my music appeared on my device as they always have but they would not play. I searched around online and it appears there was mention of unchecking the "sync music" check box in itunes under the music tab (when device is connected) and syncing your device. I then unchecked all my playlists and synced again then started adding back my music from scratch. After that headache - everything seemed to be back to normal and my music was working once again.

Why won't my videos play? They start on the device that they are on, then stop and I get an error message...An error occured loading this content.

Why won't my videos play? They start on the device that they are on, then stop and I get an error message...An error occured loading this content. This comes up on all of my computers. I reset the Apple TV to Factory Settings and still get the same message.

Hi There,
I had the same problem took me several hours to try and sort it out but nothing worked.
I then went to the following apple link
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Follow everything to a T and you will get the use of your Itunes again.
Hope this helps. Good luck (And remember to breath lol )

Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

Why won't my Mac with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud

Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?

Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
Is it on a network?
Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts?
