Hi, You need to check the box to manually manage videos that is located in the Summary pane when the iPhone is connected to the Mac. Once that checkbox is checked and that settings has been applied, then you can delete custom ring-tones. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Apr

Hi, See if you're able to do anything with the disk after going up to the View menu in Disk Utility, and to Show All Devices. You should then be able to select the entire disk instead of the volume. From there you should be able to erase/partition it. If that still gives you grief, we'll
