iOS 6 Syncing Issue (and related (?) Ringtone

[Epitome]

iPhone 4, 11.0.1.12, iOS 6.0.1, Win XP 2





Have let this go for as long as 72 hours (am a bit stubborn) waiting for it to Copy and it does not change. Not sure where it is hanging, but it is.




Best I can tell everything is Syncing, Except for Purchased Ringtone from the iStore.




Show in iTunes list from phone, but not on the actual list when I select tone in Settings, Sounds OR Contacts, Edit Ringtone on phone.




Quite a few 'irritable' little things since the 'upgrades' last week, but I really did not Need all the contents of my Inbox, Drafts, Sent or Trash that suddenly disappeared; and the Icons that go on vacation until I Reset, and my Contacts only being available from within Phone - but hey, every time I write Apple or the Store I get a friendly response that tells me that they want to help, but

I'm sorry but I was unable to determine the nature of your inquiry based on the information you have provided.

no matter how Verbose I might get!


Think I should not have told them I sold all my Apple stock about 3 weeks ago

Anyone else experiencing these issues?

I take it you have set to sync your tones in the appropriate tab?

Maybe you need to restore as new and start installing things over. Could be a data/app corruption somewhere from an old restore?

You may be correct, but I am starting to think it is an identity crisis thing!

At this point I have two Major (to me) questions.

1) Where is the "main" Apple ID on this loop - iTunes or the iPhone?

and

2) Where do you change it?

Without asking the same redundant question that I have not yet understood the answer to (I need to get an iPhone for Dummies book), can I not change my ID in ONE central location and it will be updated everywhere?

My ISP has changed - therefore my email address - and Apple and iTunes and Store and the Dept. of Defense and everything else seem to not want me to be able to make a simple change as to the email address and be done with it. If I delete (assuming I can) an identity, do I have to start over with everything? The same question for a Reset - does Reset mean Start Over?

Thanks!

Ah ha - herein lies my main cause of confusion and frustration!

This is what I get EVERY time I go into My Apple ID.

If you notice, I am logged in, so I must have done something right to do so - and I did not actually change the password this time, but this is still the response I get when I try to go to any other section to edit the information. Maybe it is not actually an issue and it just looks like it? I dunno. Just Frustrated at this point.

If your old email address is your Apple ID, you need to change the ID, rather than the associated address.

You have the patience of a saint!

Haha! My students would argue with that.
