P.s. Thanks also to all who worked on this with me. You're very much appreciated.

It is thanks to his suggestion to install ITunes over ITunes which hit the nail on the head that I am now happily annoying meeting participants with cutesy custom ringtones again which as we all know is what I really wanted to do. I'll attempt now to see if my other issues can now be corrected through this. So, if you are having ringtones sync issues, calmly and assuredly install itunes, do not remove it or alter it or pass go, just install it and see if that fixes your issue. If not, let's look into it a bit more because I can usually solve ringtone issues. Note, I did not say re-install. -- Jonnie Appleseed With His Hands-on Technolog(eye)s touching the internet reducing technology's disabilities one byte at a time ************ You are subscribed to the mac4theblind mailing list.
