Delete ringtones

I am attempting to delete ringtones that iTunes lost when I migrated to my new mac. Each time I sync my iPhone, I get the warning that the ringtones can't be found. How can I just delete those so I can start using my new ones?
Thanks,
Lawrence

Nevermind! I'm an idiot. I found it as it's own section below "Music" in the library on the left-hand pane of iTunes. It really should have been obvious, but I had to make that a lot harder.

Deleting ringtones: GarageBand 2.0.1

I cannot delete ringtones from my 5s created by GarageBand 2.0.1. Is there a way? I use itunes via a windows 7 machine.

You need GarageBand 2.0 to upgrade to 2.0.1
This version can be had in the iLife 05 set, which is well worth the investment. GarageBand 2 is a fantastic upgrade.

How do I delete ringtones on my iPhone 5 that I created from songs in my iTunes music library?

I created several ringtones for my iPhone 5 from songs in my iTunes music library but they are only 1 second long. I need to delete them and recreated them so they are 30 seconds long. How do I remove them from my iPhone and iTunes?

No -- an iTunes sync has no effect on photos in the Camera Roll; each time you sync using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes setting/selections.

How do I retrieve my deleted ringtones?

I deleted my ringtones from itunes but when I received the question "send to recycle bin or keep" I hit keep. How do I retrieve them now?

There is no way to get them back. Without a backup or without having imported the photos to your computer, they no longer exist. They are gone now.

Deleted ringtones still on phone

I recently deleted a few ringtones from my iTunes library and from my computer. When I went to sync my tones the ringtones I deleted are still there on my phone. I tried checking and unchecking ringtones and re-syncing but nothing is working.
I have an iPhone 4 and it is updated to iOS5.1.1.

If you don't want to go through the whole restoring process, I think I've found a simpiler way to delete your tones from your library. While your iPhone is attached, go to the homepage of your itunes library in "Albums" view. Looks like this:
-Then, in the left hand corner, tap the "Music" tab.
-The drop down menu will fall down, and then you will select the "Tones" button.
-And from that screen you will be able to delete, rename, & customize your tones anyway you like! =]
Hopefully this helps!!

How can i delete ringtone i create it by AnyRing from my iphone ?

Please i need help with that

I have the same problem! I can't find anything on the web about how to remove those ringtones. I have purchased ringtones from itunes and those show when I go to settings>sounds> I see the ringtones that I purchased from itunes above the default ringtones. There is a LINE that separates the purchased ones from the default ones. The problem here is the ringtones created using AnyRing are under the line along with the default ringtones. I can't seem to delete em! I went into iFile and deleted anything that was linked to AnyRing, but that did not resolve my problem :/

Don't have the permission to delete ringtones

Hi all,
I discovered yesterday that I couldn't delete the ringtones on my iphone. As you see in the screencaption of my itunes (Dutch version), I don't have the permission to delete my synced ringtones on my iphone. a while ago I could manually add ringtones to my iphone without the ringtone sync function on the itunes, but right now I can only add a ringtone and not delete it. i already tried a clean restored iphone, it's not a problem everything works fine, I mean the manually add and remove ringtones.
can someone help please?

Hi Linc,
Thanks for replying so quickly.
I actually figured out what was wrong and I feel so foolish not for looking here first. But the folders themselves were not locked, it was each individual song that was. So all I did was open up the folder and the following sub-folders to reveal the songs. I then would right click on each song > get info > and then the locked button at the top would be highlighted in blue. All I had to do was click the button, and poof the song was unlocked and subsequently the entire folder was unlocked, then I could delete the whole thing. I had to do this about 150 times for each song hahaha but it all worked out.
Thanks again for your time

Cannot delete ringtones

I have 6 ringtones on my Mac that I want to sync to my iPod touch. I can sync them over fine, but there is a problem on the iPod. 4 ringtones are there that do the following:
-Do not copy into iTunes when syncing
-Do not appear in iTunes after syncing
-Do not appear under my iPod in iTunes (under Devices)
And yet, they still appear on my iPod when I look at Settings > Sounds > Ringtone. They appear there and nowhere else. How can I delete them?

I solved this problem. Just restore the device and the invisible ringtones will be gone.
Don't be afraid to restore, you get all your data back as if it never even happened!

Deleted ringtones keep showing up under my device in iTunes

For the past few months, there are 3 ringtones that I purchased on my iPhone, but later deleted, that keep showing back up under my device in iTunes. They are greyed out and won't transfer to iTunes, but also keep coming back after I re-delete. How do I either prevent them from showing up again or just get them to transfer over to iTunes and be done with it? I know this sounds really convoluted, but it's the best way I know how to describe it. I manually manage my music, video and ringtones, so I don't know why they keep trying to sync over. I really don't want to check the sync ringtones box because it will them remove all of my music and video and try to sync all of those from my itunes as well. My computer is a Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I just posted this problem as well. I can not remove the books on my Iphone 5 either.

How do I delete ringtone, still shows up on itunes

You can't. Allow them to downoad, then delete them.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Specific Contact Ringtones being reset to default?

Anyone else having a problem with their Samsung Galaxy S3 deleting ringtones set for specific contacts? My wife's phone has done this many times and it is frustrating. We can't figure out why it is happening and how to stop it. It seems like it happens after the automatic backup runs at night and we have tried turning that off yet it still runs and her specific contact ringtones still get reset to default. My Galaxy S3 has not been doing this at all.
Thoughts?
Help!
Thanks!

Are the ringtones ones that you/she has uploaded? If so store them on the phone's interal storage (SDcard and not ext-SDcard). This is not absolutely necessary, but it never hurts.
If you are using Verizon Backup Assistant then get rid of it ASAP. Search this forum and do a Google search for methods to stop and disable Backup Assistant. This topic has been covered many times.
> Insert rant here about the evils of Verizon Backup Assistant and the inability to remove it from the phone's bloatware". <

Why is my iPhone iCloud back up so large?

My iCloud back up for my iPhone is 5.3 gb, yet I am hardly backing up any app data. Where is the rest of the data coming from?
Here is a list of things iCloud backs up
What do you think takes up the most space?
I deleted all of my messages and voicemails. My camera roll is relatively small and I have less than a gb of app data.
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll - 2 gb
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data - 70 mb
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS) - deleted
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails - deleted
What am I missing?
Re: My iCloud storage is over capacity and I can't figure out why

From what I understand the back up is a rolling back up and therefore the next back up will add to what is already there. I also understand that some items are backed up that can't be turned off in the management settings.
