Getting Ringtones onto iPhone w/o MM after sync

Post by zlumpy »

Hello. I just recently started using MediaMonkey and I love it. I'm surprised it took me this long to find it! However, I recently reformatted my computer before I started using MediaMonkey and as such I had to wipe out all the music from my iPhone 3G and export it back on. The problem is that I started using MediaMonkey before I could export my ringtones to my phone via iTunes, and have started using MM to manage the music on my phone. Now, as I suspect is the case for most iPhone users, iTunes locks up when I load it up while my iPhone is connected, and I am thus unable to export my ringtones to my phone. Is there any way to temporarily allow iTunes access to my phone so that I may export ringtones?

Also note I have tried using iPhoneBrowser and DiskAid to transfer my ringtones from my PC to my iPhone without success. Any help with this matter would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I feel your pain. Have you resolved this issue as yet? If so, please let me know.

I had everything working fine until I decided to update and add more ringtones to my phone.
Steps taken:
1. Select "sync all ringtones" checkbox from iTunes.
2. Deselect "sync ringtones" checkbox after syncing.
3. What this did was delete all my music and also it unsynced all the ringtones (naturally)

I can't remember what I did to make it work the first time but I knew I had ringtones on my phone and I had the "Sync ringtones" checkbox deselected in iTunes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
