Can't save Verizon ringtones?

I purchased a ringtone from the Verizon website. They sent it to me in a text with an MP3 attached. While I can play the MP3 I cannot find a way to save it to my phone to actually use it as a ringtone. When I tap the file it takes me to a Zune-like screen that plays the file and gives me the play/forward/rewind buttons but no menu (...) button for other options. It was suggested that I send the text to my email but when I hard press the text message itself it gives me a delete option while the forward and copy options are not highlighted. I would think that since the Mango update supports custom ringtones we could now buy ringtones from the Verizon store with no problem. Any ideas?

To create a custom ringtone on a Windows Phone running the Mango (7720) version of the OS, follow the steps listed here:

the lack of VZW support for WP7 that was evident from the day that the Verizon CTO said they weren't interested in WP7. I saw it coming then. Just walk in to any VZW store and ask about the Trophy; the reps give you a one-word answer and walk away - they could care less. If you post a question about a Droid you get a response before day's end, though.
Alas this is something we'll be dealing with until VZW realizes the revolution that's been started by WindowsPhone. Nokia's new hardware is going to blow everything out of the water and rumor has it VZW is going to be getting one. For now my recommendation for anybody w/ a windows phone (on any carrier) is to search & participate on useful forums like WPCentral, WMPowerUser, etc.
When I walk in to a VZW store and ask about HTC Trophy Accessories and am met with anything but "we don't have any *poof*" I'll change my post.
If anybody has any question about WindowPhone or the HTC Trophy please just contact me directly via these boards and I will help you out in record time (compared to VZW )

You cannot, as far as I know.
You would need to send t to your computer, then put it in itunes and sync it.

HT1693 Can I save the ringtones I have on my iphone 4 and transfer to my iphone 6?

I have several ringtones from songs on my old iphone 4. Can they be transferred to my iphone 6 plus?

I would recommend updating iTunes to v11 if you havent done so.
On previous versions (if I recall correctly), it was simply File>Transfer Purchases from "example's iPhone" or Right clicking on the device from the side bar.

I have a Samsung S5 and I got and email with a ringtone on it I would like to know how can I put that ringtone on my phone

I have a Samsung S5 and I got an email with a ringtone on it so I would like to know how can I put that ringtone on my phone from my email?

Did the ringtone come as an attachment? If so just save the file. If you downloaded it when you opened the email it should be in your downloads.

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.

How do i save a ringtone i recieved via text message?

how do i save a ringtone i recieved via text message?

You can - though on a Droid it might work differently. If you can get to an Options screen (long press the message, or a soft key to bring up an Options menu) one of the choices should be to save the attachment; and you can save it as a ringtone, or in a ringtones folder... I think. Someone who has your same phone can answer better than I.

No "Ringtones" tab and can't drag & drop ringtones into iTunes

I have an iPhone4 running OS4.3, using iTunes 10.2 on a Windows Vista PC. I used an iPhone app to create custom ringtones, and have followed the app's instructions to save the ringtones to my PC and then copy into iTunes. Two problems:
1) The instructions say to drag & drop the .m4r files into iTunes. I've seen this mentioned in other posts on this topic. When I try to do this, the files won't "drop". I see the "no" symbol (circle with line) when I hover over my music library.
2) The instructions say to click on my iPhone in iTunes, and then on the "Ringtones" tab along the top of the screen. I don't have a Ringtones tab. There's also no reference to Ringtones in the left navigation pane.
How do I correct this?
Thanks

!!! JUST DOWNGRADE YOUR ITUNES VERSION, AND USE THE OLDER ONE - THAT'S ALL. SORRY FOR ALL-CAPITAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS, - IT IS JUST OUT OF EXCITEMENT, AFTER HOURS OF SEARCHING AND THINKING ABOUT A SOLUTION !!!
Shalom all,
Our frustration and pain is over, for sure… With some help and hints from this forum I’ve found a precise solution to the above mentioned can’t-get-the-goddamned-ringtones-tab-to-appear-in-my-iTunes problem.
Now let me try and get up to the point:
The 10.5.2 version of iTune is worthless (at least, it’s 64-bit modification, which I’ve been using up to this point). By reading a few comments on your forum, I’ve quickly decided to try and downgrade to 10.4.1.10 version (seems to me, 64-bit), which can be downloaded from apple.com site with just a little extra-search.
By the way, I do have Windows 7 64-bit OS on my PC, and “Apple” warns that one MUST use 64-bit installation in my case…
One must uninstall previously installed 10.5.2 (if there used to be one, of course). In such a case, please, also uninstall a “Bonjour” program by “Apple” (don’t know what’s that, but you will not be able proceed any further with, as it was said in my case, higher version of “Bonjour” left behind).
After uninstalling those two abovementioned things, I have installed iTunes 10.4.1.10 , even without being asked for reboot by the end of the installation. But, alas, when I tried running iTunes, it failed with the complain about a “iTunes Library.itl” file (found in C:\Users\<My_User>\Music\iTunes). I’ve just renamed the file (could’ve been removed as well, of course) and restarted the iTunes. This time everything went smooth.
The rest of the story, I assume, you can imagine much better than me. Go to Edit->Preferences and tick “Ringtones”. After connecting the iPhone (well, probably one more iTunes restart will be required in this case, - not sure about that), we will get the “Ringtones” tab set also under the iPhone definition (see “DEVICES” in iTunes).
Next, create an .m4a file out of your favorite ringtone, move it to the Desktop, change the extension to a4r, add it back (drug-and-drop) to “Ringtones” tab at the iTunes LIBRARY. Then make some blessing, take a deep breath and… that’s pretty much done. One important thing not to forget before sync: click on your phone (under iTune’s DEVICES), and click on “Ringtones”, located right under the gorgeous :-) apple picture in the top middle of the iTunes window. Mark “Sync Ringtones” and “All Ringtones” (?) there, of course…
BTW, no need whatsoever to register your phone, - you can just postpone the registration...
Phew… Let’s hope I haven’t forget anything. Anyhow, the idea was to get rid of iTunes 10.5.2 as soon as possible, uninstall it together with “Bonjour” (say good bye to “Bonjour”  ), then install a good old iTunes 10.4.1.10, get over few problems and… The rest of the procedure - you know it by heart, by far better than me…
I’ve been struggling with the problem for less than a day (thanks to all of you, pals), but I can imagine there are still some poor pal chaps around…
Let us help them… Very unfortunately, English is not my mother tongue, as you can see… I wish, it would be different, but G-d decided other way… Please, (1) make some corrections and clarifications to this notes (I could've made it better, but in a crunch now, really), and also, (2) try spreading it among as many guys as possible… If you can pass this solution to “Apple” tech support, - it should be taken to consideration...
And I'll be waiting now for a generous job offer from that great company... :-)
Let me just wish you all a very Happy New Year...
Thank you all, dear friends, and do enjoy the best of your own FREE ringtones……
P.S.: iTunes 10.4.1 (64-bit) can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427 , at the bottom of the page...

I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes does not have a ringtone tab. I can not sync the ringtones.

I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes library does not have a ringtones tab. I can not sync the ringtones (or I don't know how)! Please help.

Yes, the file extension is M4R. Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook? I then opened them in Itunes and played them. I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes). When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty. Thanks in advance for your help.

How can I save from itunes to my usb drive

I have a new iphone 5 and itunes told me to save my ringtones to an external drive. I do not know how to do that. I looked but did not see a way. Apple gave me a link and I still could not find the information. Please help!

You can't.
Copy the photo on your desktop machine to your photo library. Sync the photo library to your iPhone. That way you will have it on the iPhone in the photo library.

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

that link seems to be broken right now:
403 Error - Forbidden - No cred, dude.

How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD?

I use HandBrake to rip DVD's into iTunes. How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD? For instance, I have a Jimi Hendrix documentary that comes with special features, such as concert performances. I would like to have the main feature and the special features saved in my iTunes under the same title, perhaps as different 'tracks' (kind of like how different songs can be saved under the same album).
Is there a way for me to do this, or am I chasing phantoms?

*This response is for iPhoto 11 (v9). If you're using an earlier version, please post back and let us know. Troubleshooting steps are not the same for different versions. To find out which iPhoto you have: iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)*
Duplicate the photo first. (Photos -> Duplicate). This means that you will have multiple copies of the master as well as the edited version.
If you use versions like this often and wish to have only one master then you can do this with Aperture.

We have a PC with iTunes that needs the hard drive reformatted. Right now, it can't connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my music to a thumb drive, then re-load when the computer is reformatted?

We have a Windows XP desktop with iTunes for windows. The hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right now, the computer will not connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my iTunes songs to a thumbdrive, then re-load after reformatting? How do I do it?

Copy the entire iTunes folder out to the drive. If it is too big to go as one copy stuff over to another computer in batches. It is important to have not only the media but the library file in order to properly restore your library.
See also this User Tip. Assuming the machine won't connect to the internet you could download the SyncToy installer on another machine and then transfer it with the thumb drive. If it will connect to the net don't forget to deauthorize the machine before reformatting the hard drive.

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.
