How do I get a Ringtone back onto my iPhone?

I have a ringtone in the ringtone section of iTunes. I'm sure I put it there when I changed the .mp3 version of it into an .m4r version prior to putting it onto my iPhone.
I have now been told by Apple to restore my iPhone, so of course this ringtone is no longer on the phone.
But I have now completely forgotten how to get the ringtone, which is in iTunes, onto my phone. Please help.
I'm sure the answer is staring me in the face, but I can't remember...

Doh!
How many times do you remember the answer to a question when you've just posted it!!!
The answer, of course, is to just drag and drop it into the iPhone tones folder while it is connected.
Sorry to disturb...

  • How do I get my ringtones back on my iPhone they are in my iTunes on my computer

    How can I get my ringtones back onto my iPhone? They are in my iTunes account on my computer

    So why doesn't Apple tell you that ICloud won't back up your ringtones?  It states " Automatically bck up your camera roll, accounts, documents and settings when IPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi" Nowhere does it state it doesn't back up ringtones.  If it backs up my music, then why doesn't it back up ringtones? I had my ringtones on my ITunes, but when I updated that, they are gone too!  It just seems to me Apple is trying to purposely get you to continuously purchase their services, even when you go out your way to back them up. Had I known this, I would have backed everything up on my PC again. This is very disappointing.

    Hi,
    I wanted to unlock my at&t iphone 3gs that i had for 3  years.  i was told to back up the data on my phone and then restore it as new.  now i don't have any data i had before it was restored. how can i get that data back onto my iphone 3gs?  can i put that data on my ipad?

    Is it an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup? If iTunes, connect the iPhone, right click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes. Click on Restore from Backup.
    If iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When the device powers back on, you will see the original setup screens you saw when your iPhone was fresh out of the box. One of these screen asks you if you want to restore. Choose Restore from iCloud backup.

  • How can i get my ringtones back on my iphone

    How can i retrive my ringtones back on my iphone ,since i updated my iphone everything was deleted on my iphone

    I managed to do it by syncing my iPhone to iTunes. I then went to Ringtones in the iPhone sync page, Ringtones section. I unsync'd sll if them, applied the changes and then re-sync'd them. The timer at the top said downloading them and they were there.

  • How can I get my music back onto my iPhone from the the cloud

    I have a new primary PC.  My music Library is on an old dying laptop.  I have found all my music has disappeared from my phone.  Some is on the cloud, but it appears to only be the music purchased on iTunes, only about 1/3 of my collection.  Now I find all the songs on my iPhone are ONLY iTunes songs and I have to download them each time I want to play them.  Since I'm in a regional area with poor coverage, having to download my own songs every time through cellular is ridiculous! How can I copy my entire collection back onto my iPhone?  And then where's the rest of my collection?  Will I have to rip all my cd's again? If so NOT HAPPY AT ALL. Have also lost all my ringtones which were a Podcast that WAS purchased through iTunes - now gone.

    I did this last night, and copied all the music from old laptop onto new one.  But there was still a lot of stuff missing, mainly from my own CDs that I'd ripped.  Also I'm still getting the icon on my iPhone that the music is on the iCloud. This doesn't suit me because it will cost me a fortune to download each song by cellular when I'm out driving.  I need all my stuff on my iphone.  Do you know how I can get it to download everything i need apart from clicking on every album and selecting "download" from cloud one at a time?

  • How do I get my playlists back onto my iphone after itunes match?

    Did you ever transfer your music purchases to your computer iTunes? If so, it is simple to use iTunes to replace the music on your iPod.
    If you only had your music on your iPod then it is lost. Purchased Apps, however, can be downloaded again at no charge from the App Store.

  • How do I get calendar events back onto my iphone??

    after updating to ios5 on my iphone 4, I had duplicate calendar events, I deleted the duplicates; but now the events no longer exist in my iphone even though they do on my mac?

    The Mac and the iPhone should both have iCloud enabled and they should sync up.
    The duplicate entries may have been because you had synced the calendar both with iTunes and iCloud.  It should be done one way or the other, not both.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • HT203167 I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4.  They are still on my computer, but won't re-transfer back to the phone.  I'm using the correct iTunes account.  How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?

    How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?
    I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4.  The ringtones are still on my computer and play in iTunes, but they won't re-transfer back to the phone.  I'm using the correct iTunes account on both my computer and phone.  In the iPhone view of iTunes on my computer, it shows that my phone recognizes that I had those ringtones, but there is an exclamation mark showing that my phone can't find the files.  I can't delete these "placeholders" from my phone with the hopes of re-transfering the files back to the phone, either.  I cannot just simply re-transfer the files from my computer back to the phone.  It won't let me using the regular synch options and I can't find anything in the menus of iTunes to help me out either.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. 

    Ignore.  I figured it out:)
