So you've updated to iTunes 7.4 and now you realize all of your hacks are broken. Yep, iTunes 7.4 "broke" many existing hacks... especially things that used jailbreak and ringtone installers.
The folks at Ambrosia Software are already at work on getting iToner back up and running. Ambrosia's Andrew Welch:
"We’re on it. Here’s what is happening. iTunes 7.4 thinks it is the sole entity that puts custom ringtones on your iPhone. As such whenever you sync (even if you aren’t using any ringtones from iTunes), it just blindly writes over the database of user-installed ringtones."
My favorite installer, Nullriver's AppTapp Installer.app is already updated to work with iTunes 7.4! Gotta hand it to these guys. Sometimes they release new updates 3 - 4 times in a day.
It seems like the new iTunes changes a few things in order to get ringtones to work. Devs are saying that anything in the iTunes folder on the iPhone is ruled by iTunes but putting ringtones into a ~/Library/Ringtones folder seems to solve the problem.
In any case, sit back and hang on tight or hold off on installing that new iTunes until the developers get a handle on whats going on with this new version.
