I am so tired of Apple screwing up my iPhone either with iOS or iTunes updates. This time I updated iTunes to 10.6.1, synced my iPhone, then I got a call and I notice that the ringtone wasn't the one I had set up as the default. I started checking and all my ringtones and music playlists were gone.

I recently purchased an iphone 4s, and shortly after, my son dowloaded a virus on my computer, and I had to a factory reset (for the 3rd time in 6 months). Now all of my playlists are stuck on my iphone. I have all of the music files backed up, but I really don't want to have to create all of my playlists AGAIN. I read a post online that said that if you create a playlist on the iphone, it will sync back to itunes, so I copied all of my existing playlists on the iphone again, so that they would now be 'new' playlists.
The problem is, when I start the sync to itunes, I get the message that says if I sync with the computer, all files on the iphone will be replaced with files from itunes. Right now, my itunes is empty. If I go through with the sync, am I going to lose everything on the iphone, or will it copy all of the 'new' playlists from the iphone into itunes? I guess it's not the end of the world if I have to recreate the whole library, but it took me about 12 hrs to do it last time, so I really don't want to have to go that route if I don't have to!

I had both created and purchased ringtones on my iPhone4S. I did a full backup of my 4S to iTunes on my Mac. I restored my new iPhone6 from that backup. When I go into my Tones file in the iTunes App, it shows all the ringtones. They are checked. But, when I connect my phone and look at the iTunes App's Tones file of my device, the ringtones show up but most of them are grayed out and won't show up on my phone.
How do I get the ringtones that are grayed out to sync with my new phone? I have looked at their format- they are m4r.
I have unchecked all tones, synced, checked all, applied, and synced again. Nope.
"Sync only checked songs" is checked.
I found the ringtones in my history of purchases, but it was 2 years ago and when I try to report a problem, it says it's too old.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI updated my iphone to the latest software tonight, but now I can't sync my phone to itunes. It gets stuck at the first step and then it just errors. I reset my device in an attempt to fix, but unfortunately it didn't fix it. At least I had all my music, apps and movies before, now I literally just have a blank phone that wont sync.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOperating latest iTunes and iOS software. iTunes recognizes my iPhone. When I select music to sync in iTunes, when syncing the sync bar skips over syncing music (goes1-2-4-5).
Previously I added one album to the phone. Now today when I attempted to syncmore music the album disappeared from my phone (even tho it was checked to sync in iTunes) and I now have no music on the phone.

Since downloading IOS 5.1.1 my selected music in iTunes will not download to my iphone 3GS. Never had this problem before. The itunes library shows all the albums I want to sync checked off and even when I connect the iphone with the sync cable the songs will not be synced. I've looked at all settings and everything looks the same as it always has. I did get a new iphone 3GS recently to replace a stolen one but all settings remain the same other then the new software 5.5.1.

After jailbreaking and getting my phone exactly the way I want it, I've decided I don't want to have to use iTunes to manage my music and Apps. I just reformatted my PC, and now iTunes wants me to totally wipe my iPhone and start over - this is unacceptable.
So I would like to manage my music outside of iTunes, but prefereably still using the iPod app as opposed to a third party one. I did a quick search and found nothing on the forums. Googling has led me to a few ideas, but they all seem dated. I am not familiar enough with SSH to figure this one out by myself.
Apps may be trickier, but there are a number of apps I have downloaded through Cydia, etc. that I would need to re-download if I wiped my phone.
Any tips or advice would be great here. Each successful thread I post takes me one step closer to leaving Big Brother out of my smartphone experience!

I have purchased 4 MP3 music albums from Amazon. Their MP3 downloader software automatically ports the music over to iTunes, and the tracks appear in my iTunes library on my PC. However when I synch my iPhone this music does not move over to my iPhone.
My iPhone options include "manually manage music and videos" - is this a possible factor? When I check under Music, there is an unchecked box by "Synch Music." However if I check this box it will synch the entire music library.
My music from iTunes downloads or CD imports has always synched with no problem, so I am wondering if this problem has to do with the source being Amazon.
I'm not sure when this started but I've been putting up with it for a while. Most of the time when my iPhone 4s (iOS 5.1) syncs with iTunes (always running the latest version on Win 7) either via USB or WiFi, the songs I didn't purchase from the iTunes store (i.e. ripped) disappear from my iPhone. I have to then uncheck the box to sync music in iTunes and then recheck it so it copies all 2500+ songs back to the iPhone. I probably have to do this 2 times a week and would turn off syncing if I didn't have a need, but I do need it. This happens far more often on USB than WiFi but it's driving me crazy. While working with Apple support to troubleshoot another issue, I completely removed and reinstalled all Apple software and reset content and settings on my iPhone in the past 3-4 months.

I recently reset the "network settings" on my IPhone 4, after that all my music in the iPhone disappeared.
When I tried to synchronize it with iTunes the process complete but the music in my iPhone still empty.
Went to iTunes on my PC (windows) and check the "Synchronize music", complete the process but the iPhone still with an empty list of music.
Most of the music was bought in iTunes Store.

I am trying to upload music to my iPhone 4 from iTunes. I can see my iPhone under the Devices section and can browser through the various tabs "Summary", "Info", etc. In the Music tab, I check the box to "Sync Music" and opt for "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres". I make my selection and can see the Capacity updating with the selections made. But then the only option I have is to click "Revert". I can see the "Apply" button, but it is greyed out - and cannot be selected. No "Sync" button appears.

I just updated to iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone 4. Tried to put in ringtones or "tones" as I guess its now listed, and was given the message: "Are you sure you want to sync tones? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPhone "HP_Owner's iPhone" will be removed."
I couldn't see any other way to get ringtones, so I tried it anyway. The message wasn't lying. I immediately gained a lot of capacity back on the capacity bar from songs, etc. I somehow got out of it and the capacity returned. Do I need to go through it all again and figure out how to install an older iOS?

Will i lose my apps if i connect to a different itunes library?
Info:

i have an iPhone with all my music on it and apps etc. The problem i have my computer crashed and i lost everything on my computer. I restored it to factory and i just got iTunes.
My question is, if i sync to what "essentially" is a new computer will i loose everything on my iPhone? (music) In have a 8GB 3G that is j/b on 3.1.2,
Is there any way to sync and avoid loosing my music?
I'd like to sync my iPhone to a new mac. I was syncing it on my old desktop which is gone now, and it was updating the music by syncing it to a playlist. I don't want to plug it in and lose all the songs because I'm now syncing to a different library. Is there a way to plug my iPhone in to a new computer with a new library under a new iTunes store account, and be able to add songs from that new computer/account without losing the ones that are synced to the phone right now? Can an iPhone have two different providers assigned to it? I'd like to have one US provider and one Canada provider, so that when I cross the border I can turn one network on and one network off, depending on which country I'm in each week.

Recently I downloaded an app which caused me to go over my memory allowance on my iphone. Instead of telling me not to download the app, my phone deleted all the music on it. They are still all on itunes on my computer, however when I try to re Auto-fill or sync my phone it refuses to put the music back on the phone because still thinks that all the music is on the phone. This is extrmely frustrating. I have deleted all my photos off the phone (these were taking up the most memory space) in the hope that the music would reappear but it hasnt. how to get my my music back onto my phone?
