Can't purchase ringtones on my iphone 3g

I've tried everything I can think of to get new ringtones on my IPhone 3g. Attempting to purchase using the phone results in either a prompt that Tones are only for IOS 5 or the download simply disappears.
I've been able to use ringtones I've downloaded before the IOS 5 came out but can't seem to be able to get new ones. Has Apple given up on 3Gs?
Thanks got any help you can give me

They have not given up on the 3Gs. The 3G, however, reached end of life with iOS 4.2.1. You can still create your own, but if you want to puchase the tones in the store, you'll need a new phone.

Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

Mine's much worst - can't send nor receive emails from Yahoo and Gmail. It simply won't connect. Gmail first gives an error about the SSL and to try again without it. But, it still won't connect. Yahoo on the other hand keeps on saying that the apple.imap server is not responding no matter what settings I change. It really does seem that there's something wrong on their end, however, it seems selective.
This is on top of the fact that all of my contacts were erased and the Personal Hotspot disappears intermittently.
By the way, I came from 4.2. I updated my wife's from 4.1 and her's is just peachy.

Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

After the 30 days YOU can still purchase Apple protection plan for $69, which extends your phone support just like AC+ and your hardware warranty just like AC+ it also gives you a a free battery replacement.
The only difference between AC+ and Apple protection plan is that AC+ covers accidental damage.
Customer who do not purchase AC+ or APP will then have to purchase a Pay-Per-Incident which is a $20 fee for each issue calling in on.
Pay-Per-Incidents or PPI's last for 30 days on the one issue that they were purchased on.
No, you cannot.
An iPhone in the USA is eligible for AppleCare+ and ONLY AppleCare+. AppleCare+ completely replaced AppleCare for iPhones when it was announced. Check Apples own warranty pages on the web site. You CANNOT buy AppleCare for an iPhone in the USA - ever. It is not offered for iPhones any longer.

Back up your old phone to iTunes.
Then, restore your new phone using the backup from your old phone. It will take everything else with it, as well.

Why can't I access ALL purchased ringtones on my Iphone?

I've created and purchased 3 ringtones on my iphone. I can see these in Itunes in my library and in Devices/Ringtones when the iphone is docked. However, when I try to assign the ringtones to various contacts I see the SAME ringtone 3 times. The phone seems to recognize that there are 3 ringtones but displays a single ringtone 3 times. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

I can't sync my purchased ringtones on my iPhone 4 since upgrading to iOS 5 5

I can't sync ringtones that I purchased before I upgraded to ios 5! I see them on iTunes but they won't sync on my phone please help me! I don't want to have to repurchase them, doesn't seem fair, thank you!

You can try putting the iPod into Recovery Mode and restoring it:

If that doesn't work, then sorry but the jailbreak may have permanently corrupted your iPod. Since we cannot help with jailbroken devices in these forums, you'll need to look elsewhere for additional suggestions and advice.

After syncing with new iMac I no longer have purchased ringtones on my iPhone. Any clue how to get them back?, After syncing with new iMac I no longer have purchased ringtones on my iPhone. Any clue how to get them back?

The ringtones purchased on iTunes simply disappeared from the iPhone 4S, were visible for a while on iTunes on the iMac, when the iPhone was connected but greyed out, I can't see it anymore though. I've tried to download it again from iTunes on the iPhone, but it only tells me "this item has been purchased before, would you like to buy it again?". Of course I don't want to pay twice something I've already paid for. Any idea how to get this fixed so I can use those ringtones again? Thanks in advance!

Uncheck them in the iTunes > Tones sync settings and sync, then check them again and sync.

I purchased ringtones on my iPhone and after I did the latest upgrade my ringtones are in my library on my Mac but not in ringtone list on my iPhone? Help?

Hello! I have purchase itunes ringtones on my iphone and had been using them. They are in my library on my Mac and in my iphone, but they are not in my ringtone list. Ever since I did the last upgrade for the iphone my purchased ringtones are no longer in the list of ringtones so I cannot use them anymore!! Can anyone help??

Hi lapincoya,
Open iTunes on your Mac and go to the iTunes Store. Make sure you are logged on. In the store, click on the Music tab, then under Quick Links on the right-hand side, click on Purchased>Songs>Not in My Library. You should see the song there with a little cloud next to it.
(Alternatively, you can go to your Library in iTunes, and click on Music, and then click on View in the top menu. You will see an option to "Show Music in the Cloud". If you click on this, then any music that has not yet been downloaded to the Mac will show up in your music list with a little cloud next to it).
Click on the cloud to download it to the Mac.
By the way, when you purchase music on the Mac, you can get it to automatically download to your device by making sure that Settings>iTunes & App Store>Automatic Downloads>Music is turned on, but you cannot get music to automatically upload to the Mac when you purchase music on your device. You have to do what is shown above to get it on your Mac if the purchase originates on an iOS device.
Cheers,
GB

How to send purchased ringtones to my iPhone

I have purchased two tunes (via a Ringtones app) and converted them to ringtones of less than 40 seconds. I have managed to get the ringtones onto my desktop, but cannot now get them to my phone. I've used directions from the Ringtones app and directions from my Iphone user book, but when I try to drag the tone to "tunes" I am unsuccessful. The entire "tunes, purchases, etc." box lights up and the ringtone does not show up afterwards in "tones." I have a feeling there's something simple I'm missing, but this is not an intuitive process.
Any help will be appreciated.

Sync them from your computer. You can only download ringtones from the iTunes Store once per fee paid.

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.

"Create Ringtone" option is dithered--can't purchase ringtones at all

I want to purchase a ringtone. I highlight the song I want to buy--it has a bell--but when I go up to Store---the "create ringtone" option is dithered--don't have the option to buy it. What is up?
Message was edited by: ErinFG

You have to buy the song first, then you can buy the ringtone for songs where ringtones are available (easiest to do that from your Purchased playlist). Also, note that ringtones are only available when logged into the US iTunes Store (check the popup menu at the bottom of the main page of the iTunes Store).
