Can't find ringtones

A few days ago I bought 3 ringtones from the iTunes store. I never set them to any contact or default, figuring I'd do it when I had more time, like today. I have the iTunes receipt that proves I bought them, but I can't find them on either of the devices I'd have used to buy them with. going through the store again, there aren't any that say purchased by them or when I tap the price. It says I can buy them. Problem is, I have. Can anyone help me find them, please?
I probably used my iPad Air, possibly my iPhone 5s. Both are updated to the newest iOS. I didn't use my MacBook Air, but I do have one in case I need it to find the tones.
Thanks,
John

You've copied the tones from your iPad to your Mac via Transfer Purchases, and then connected your phone, selected those tones on its Tones tabs and synced them to it ? On your computer's iTunes they should show on the phone in the Tones section of 'on my device'
If they do then you should be able to assign them to individual contacts on your phone in its Contacts app, or as a general tone in Settings > Sounds

You could also download the Ringtone Maker all for iPhone in the AppStore and create your own custom ringtones and message tones.
Not needed.
Easy enough to do in iTunes.
Find the song you want and note the start/stop time you want the ring tone.
Right click - get info, click the Options tab and set the start/stop times as above.
Right click - Create AAC version. This creates a new file.
Drag this new file from the iTunes window to the desktop.
Delete the file from iTunes and also select Delete from hard drive.
On the desktop, rename the file whateveryouwant.m4r (first part you can change to whatever you want & change the extension to .m4r).
Drag the file back to the iTunes library at top left.
Make sure iTunes prefs > General has Tones ticked.

HT5654 Can't find ringtones on my iTunes

I can't find my ringtones on I tunes, there is no ringtones for me to select ? On the drop down menu all I have is music tv programmes x

Top right hand corner. Should be a button that says "Blarebees's iPhone" or whatever your phone is called.
Click that button. Then you can browse your phone an sync all your stuff.
If it doesn't show anything about an iPhone, then thats a bit weird. Phone a friend.

HT201272 purchased ringtone. REceived e-mail confirming purchase and charge to credit card. Can not find ringtone anywhere

Purchased ringtone from apps. Billed and charged. Can not find it on iPhone 4S or on computer.

If you bought it on your iPhone then it should be on it - it will only be on your computer's iTunes if you've copied it over (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases), in which case it should copy to the Tones part of your library (they won't appear in the Purchased link for re-downloading). It doesn't show on the list if you try to change one of your notification sounds on your phone via Settings > Sounds, or if you go into Contacts and select a contact and tap the Edit button at the top right does that allow you to assign that ringtone to that contact ?
Or is is a ringtone that you bought in an app i.e. not a ringtone from the iTunes store ?

Can't find ringtones in the itunes store

Hi,
I have not purchased ringtones in a while and I can't seem to find them anywhere in the iTunes store. I have tried searching for "Tones and/ or Ringtones," and I get music, books, etc... but no ringtones. What am I doing wrong?

The ONLY place to buy pre made ringtones is from your iphone. Itunes>More>Tones
You can create a ringtone from most any sound file. Google will find several free ways to do this.

Can't find ringtone option on iTunes PC, but can on iTunes for iPhone?

I can't find the option to search ringtones on iTunes on my PC, even when I search by an artist. However, when I search the artist on iTunes on my iPhone, the ringtones come up. What am I doing wrong? I'd much rather use iTunes on my PC to purchase music/ringtones. Thanks.

I am having a similar issue. Trying to figure which of my already purchased tunes are available as ringtones and can't do that either. if you get this figured out will you post the results? Thanks! M

HT201272 how can i find ringtones that i purchased on my previous iphone 4????

I purchased ringtones on my iphone 4 that was stolen and now i cant find then anywhere!

Ringtones are a one time purchase
However if you have a back up made with the iPhone, they will be stored in that back up

Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.

If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

I am having difficulty finding ringtones I have downloaded from my computer to my I phone 5. The individual files can be found by search on the library but there is no listing of them and have not transferred back to phone from I Tunes

I cannot find ringtones in my library that I transferred from my desktop although I can find them in a search of the library. I can't get them to transfer back to the phone from ITunes.

All the ringtones show up in I Tunes under "tones" on the left side. They also come up under the Ringtones Icon on my phone. But they are not on the ring tones list when I go to edit a contact...just the default ringtones are listed

Can't find imported ringtones on phone

I give up. I don't know what else to try. HELP
I made a couple of ringtones with mymxr (converted mp3 to m4r). I got the ringtones to show up in the "tones" section of iTunes (although at one point one of them appeared in the "movies" section). ITunes seems to sync ok but I can't find these ringtones listed with the tones that came with the phone (iPhone 5s). I'm a newbie at all of this apple stuff and while I've read of others trying to do something similar nothing I've tried over the last three days has worked.
I believe it's possible to convert some of my favorite tones from my Blackberry to the iPhone but I'm not having any luck accomplishing this. Any insight as to how to make this happen would be gratefully received.

It IS in my itunes as a ringtone but will not sync to phone. I cannot drag and drop either but can with songs.
When I click on the phone device in itunes and get the tabs on the top, I go to ringtones. If I check the sync ringtones box a window opens stating that if I do sync ringtones all of my music and videos on the phone will be removed. Why is this? I did it with my wife's phone because she only had a couple songs on hers but I do not want to wipe all of my songs off. Is this the only way? I don't even need the ringtone on my phone but I am trying to figure out what to do so i can do it on my wife's phone.
Highlight the file in iTunes and open "get info" by cmd+click or right click>>get info.
Make sure that the extension of the file is .m4r
Since you are not able to drag it out of iTunes on your desktop, it tells me that the extension could be something else other than what it should be i.e. .m4r. Also, hence, when you try to add it to your iPhone the file is being treated as a music file thereby trying to replace what you have in your music section of your iPhone.
If the file extension is not .m4r, this is what you need to do -
1. Locate the file on your macintosh hard drive for this -
2. Click your finder>>music>>iTunes>>iTunes music and then look for a folder called Unknown.
Note - If your iTunes library is not "clean" with random songs without artists, albums, etc. you might have more than one folders by name "Unknown" or some variant of it. So look around and locate the file on the hard drive.
3. Drag it out on your desktop
4. Right click and change the extension to .m4r
5. Save and double click so that it gets imported back into iTunes and starts playing too on your mac
6. You will find it under Ringtones. Sync in back on your iPhone.
Hopefully it will go well for you this time around.

Where do you find the ringtone tab on your personal itunes so that you can sync new ringtones to your iphone?

Ringtones I downloaded I can't find

I received a text that the ringtones I bought were downloaded but I can't find them. I have downloaded games and was able to successfully retrieve them. I am not sure if I am looking in the wrong app or if I wiped then out Thanks for any help

pinchera73,
I'm sorry for the difficulty you've run into with the ringtones. I want to thank the community for the great assistance. Has this been resolved for you? I would say the 'Music' or 'Play Music' app on the phone is where those files would appear after the downloaded, as budone advised. Please reply back so I and the community can assist more if necessary.
Thank you,
