I don't understand what happend. I just bought the song and I just purchased the ringtone JUST so I could try it out and this BS happens? How am I not authorized on my own computer.

You just have to double-click the ringtone to play it once and authorize it. For some reason, you have to re-enter your password for ringtones. Once you do that, it syncs fine.

How did it come to this? Goodbye PowerPC. | sensory output

There are still some noticeable bugs in the ringtone system, and I think perhaps Apple pushed out that update a little prematurely.

I think the authorization is part of Apple's appeasement of the RIAA (same goes for the fact that they're charging for ringtones).

Yep, new authorization after you agree to the new terms of service.
