Re: problems adding custom made ringtones to iTunes in windows 10

[Chris Skarstad]

Hi

I just don't want to bother them because someone else really might be in 
a jam, and *really* need some accessibility help.  I'm pretty good with 
setting up an iDevice, I've set several up now but what if a newby is 
calling for the very first time and is upset and confused?  Sure, I 
understand I qualify, but that doesn't make it so.  If I can't find any 
answers that may be what I have to do.  I've seen a lot of stuff about 
this on the internet, and the sollution to transfer purchases works for 
some folks but not others.  I very rarely do this but this is one of the 
very rare times when I would love to see iOS become more like Android. 
On a droid you can just put an SD card into a reader, or connect your 
phone to the pc with a USB cable, and copy and paste your tones in the 
proppper place, and they just work.

Absolutely, i've been using VoiceOver for about 4 years now on a daily
basis.  But once again, we're straying from the answer i'm wanting to
get here.

   I just need to know what's going to happen if I have to hit this erase
and sync button.  If it's only going to erase tones only, that's not a
problem. However, if it's going to erase everything on the phone and
I'll need to start over from scratch and re-download all my apps and
music I am absolutely not going to be a happy person.

Hi.  But see that's just it, I'm not really having any difficulty
reading the screens, everything's clear accept what's going to happen
if I hit that erase and sync button. i don't like the sound of that,
and I am extremely nervous. The only time I think i'd call the
accessibility line is if I was having trouble reading the screen, and
I'm not really having trouble with that part of it.

don't know what effect hitting the erase and sync button will
have on my iPhone, which I've spent a really long time
customizing. I have apps put in folders, and I like to have

Hi.  I certainly did, in fact that was one of the very first things i 
did when setting things up.  So, would you say it's safe to hit that 
erase and sync button? It looks like it's going to remove absolutely 
everything from my phone and I do not want to spend hours and hours 
re-configuring it.

Well, I'm not having any problems with the accessibility of the 
product, all the screens read exactly as they should.  I just don't 
know what effect hitting the erase and sync button will have on my 
iPhone, which I've spent a really long time customizing. I have apps 
put in folders, and I like to have things in a very specific way. The 
accessibility here isn't the issue. Or at least it doesn't seem to be 
that way.

Hi guys


i hope the subject line was clear enough, sometimes I'm horrible at 
that.  Anyways, let me explain a little further.  I had iTunes 
running on my Windows 7 machine for many years, and I was 
successfully able to create a custom ringtone for my iPhone as a 
.m4r file, and sync it to my phone successfully.   So recently, I 
got myself a brand spanking new screamer of a pc running Windows 
10   So I


had some ringtones that I wanted to add to my phone so I installed 
iTunes on it, and authorized it on my pc and did all the usual 
stuff you have to do to get it set up.  I even did a backup of my 
iTunes library just to be safe.


However, when I went to sync these newly made ringtones, I receive 
a message from iTunes that says if i  sync with this iPhone 
everything will be removed, and the only thing I'll have left are 
these new tones. It says that it can only sync with one iTunes 
library at a time.  Or at least, that's how the message sounds to 
me.  It sounds rather ominous.


  I don't want to lose absolutely everything on my phone just to 
add a few ringtones.  That seems rather silly to me.  I know a lot 
of you guys on here use macs, but remember, this is in Windows 10, 
using the most recent version of iTunes, screenreader is 
Window-eyes 9.4.0.


Is it safe to hit the remove and sync button, or if I do that, will 
the only thing that's removed are the tones?  If all it'll remove 
is my current batch of tones that's ok, but my concern is losing 
everything else such as apps, and music.  I'm a bit lost to tell 
you the truth. I hope someone has experience with this.

Thanks for any help, guys!
