Can't extract ringtone from text message

My son sent me a ring tone via text message. The last time he did this I was able to touch the ring tone on my screen and save it to my phone. This time it won't let me. The only difference I can see if that this ring tone was made using Quicktime. Is there something I should be doing to save it to my phone? My computer was hit with a virus so I can't even send it to my email and drag it over.
Any help would be appreciated.

When I got the iPhone in June I set it up on my laptop. The ringtones were sent to me by my sons. I thought I had put them on my phone my saving them directly on my iPhone from a text, but everyone is telling me I didn't. So I am assuming I synched them over. In July my laptop was hit by some virus. The laptop had to by wiped clean. I got my laptop back last week. I had to download a new iTunes to my the computer. I did that. I transferred my music purchases over, my app purchases and I synched my phone, but the existing ringtones on my phone did not synch over. When I went to click the synch button I got that bizarre message. Fearfull I would loose those ringtones I did not sync. I have a ringtone that my son emailed me in the library of my iTunes, but I can't get it to my phone because if I sync it I am afraid I will loose it.

I can't save photos from text messages and cannot access keyboard

does anyone know why i can't save pictures from text messages received and why i am unable to access my keyboard to type out messages?

When you press and hold on the picture...it does not give you an option to save the image? Also for the keyboard issue...go into settings/application manager(it may also say apps/manage apps). At the top scroll over and select all. Scroll down and find messaging and tap on it. If you have an option to clear data and force stop then select them(it wont delete anything). Once done go back in the list and see if you also have anything that says keyboard or android keyboard and do the clear data/force stop on that also.

You can purchase ringtones from the iTunes store or create your own on the computer and sync them via iTunes.

How can i save ringtone from text/email to iphone?

I have a ringtone that I've had for many years, for some reason after getting the new iphone 5, this ringtone is not on my new phone although everything else transferred over. Or maybe i just don't know where it is on my phone. Anyways, I emailed and texted it to myself, but can't seem to save it to the phone.

See chapter 11 and chapter 4 (page 53) of the User Guide:

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).

My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone. You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
How in the world would you expect to get data back?

Unless you had them backed up somewhere, I'm afraid they are gone.

How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone? I have the 4s she has the 4. When she got the latest update, everything on our phones synced. She got her own apple id, but she is still getting all of my text messages.

Can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac

can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
It seems that my Mac is getting them and they dont show up on my iphone.

Hi julian KAYE!
You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Saving a tone from text message

I got a ringtone from a friend he sent to me via text and email. How do i get the ringtone from my message to under the ringtone section??!?!?!?

The phone is not like a Blackberry. It stops you from doing some things as allowing just any old file or program to access other parts of the OS is where issues come from. So, go to computer, check email. Save file. Drag into iTunes under Ringtones. If it is the proper format it will go into it. Then you sync.
There is nothing you are going to be able to do now on the phone itself.

How can I check my daugters text messages?

How can I check my Daughters text messages? Her boyfriend is not the kind of boy I want her seeing but she is young and doesn't know what she wants.

It is very simple.
depending on how old she is. If she is a minor, then the phone is technically your property and under contract with you. If she is older then 18 then you could have some legal issues in trying to do this.
Either way, you can install SMS Backup on her phone or one of the other SMS apps. SMS Backup will save a copy of every text message to a gmail account and you can simply read them from gmail.
I am not going to lecture on the ethical or legal part of this as I do track my son (for various reasons) with this (with 100% knowledge on his side)

Can u send an URGENT text message on the Droid Charge???

I been trying to figure out how to send an urgent text message. I've had the phone since lst November and seems all I can do is send regualr text messages. How can u send an urgent text message so that it grabs the recipients attention to respond as soon as possible. Like for example, that person ur sending the message to is in a situation where they cant recieve phone calls, so u gotta text them instead and its an urgent matter, so ur wanna to send an urgent text message that grabd their attention immediately. So does anyone know how u go about sending an urgent text message? Please get back to me. Thanks -Brian

don't know aside from calling someone. if they are unable to receive phone calls, then they are probably unable to receive texts. you could sending them an e-mail - perhaps they have a data signal?
