How do I get a purchased ringtone from my music library to Ringtones?

I've purchased a couple of ringtones from itunes but they downloaded into my music library and I can't figure out how to move them to the Ringtones folder in my library. I tried going back to itunes and downloading them directly onto my phone but they show "purchased" and will only play, not download.
TIA
alice

No, what I actually purchased was a ringtone.  I actually purchased it on my iphone from contacts by selecting a contact, clicking edit, clicking ringtone, clicking "buy buy more tones", being taken to the "tones" section of the itunes store, finding the tone I wanted in the "tones" section of the itunes store and buying it.  It download as an m4r file and remains in m4r file.  Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I cannot get this m4r ringtone file that I purchased from the itunes store "tones" section from the music folder in itunes media to the ringtones folder.

  • HT1688 how do i get a purchased song from itunes to be my ringtone

    Please help me. I do not know how to take a purchased song and download it so it becomes my ringtone?? any help

    There are a number of free utilities and options for creating ringtones for music that does not include DRM protection.
    If the song you downloaded from the iTunes store includes DRM protection - not an iTunes Plus song, you must purchase the ringtone separate if a ringtone is available for purchase with a segment of the song.

  • My old computer with my iTunes library on along with my iPod was destroyed in a fire. I have since got a new laptop and iPod plus started a new library with a new email address. How do I get the purchased tracks from my old library onto my new one?

    Obviously I spent a lot of money on my old computer and on tracks for the iTunes library plus iPod and I don't wish to have to buy all those tracks again - though I had no choice but to buy a new laptop and iPod.

    It looks as though i would be in situation where i have both accounts on the same computer but need a seperate ipod for each but i cant afford to but another ipod so i am letting things be as they are. I now back-up all my stuff in my current itunes library to an external driver so if the laptop breaks down i at least have saved the music to install on a new laptop or netbook. I would sign up for the icloud to save my music on that but as i understand it the cloud will only hold itune purchased tracks and those imported from cds and not any mp3 tracks purchased from another online retailer.
    Thanks for helping me come to a long overdue descision on my original query.

    Deborah,
    You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes.  The syncing process is only one way.  However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder.  From there you can copy them back over to your PC. 
    Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

  • How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match?

    How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match? iTunes is automatically syncing songs I purchased years ago to my iPhone without me asking it to. I have not and am not going to pay for Match. I want to get of of these songs for good. I do not care about removing them from my history which is impossible, I just want to delete songs so they are not in my library and do not sync to my phone since I never wanted them there.

  • How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

    I successfully used migration assistant to transfer all my music from a Windows PC to my new Mac Air.  How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

    msailar wrote:
    thanks for the hint Chris.  I took your meaning of the word "respind" as restarting my Air after the migration.
    Actually, it was "respond" (to this post).
    If you are not sure of anything below, post back before deleting anything.
    You can simply copy the items tin the migrated user to your current user account.
    Drag the Music folder, Pictures folder and Documents folder to /Users/Shared.
    Then log out of this user and log into your regular user account.
    Open 2 finder windows. On teh Finder icon in the dock, right click - New Finder window
    Open one to Users/Shared & the other to your user.
    On Shared, open Music and drag the contents to your user Music folder.
    Do the same for Pictures and Documents (into the same folders).
    After it finishes copying, open iTunes and everything should be there.
    You can then delete /Users/Shared/Music/ folder.
    Do the same for Pictures & Documents.
    After everything is copied and you are sure it's in your current user folder, go to System prefs > Users & Accounts and you can delete the new user that you did Migration Assistant with.

  • How do I get iTunes Match to upload my music library from my external hard drive?  It only got some of the music and not a lot of it at that.

    I'm trying iTunes Match and not having a great time of it so far.  It only got a fraction of my music from my music library.  I contacted support and they told me that it would recognize my external hard drive and take all of the music.  My collection is all from CDs with the exception of a few from iTunes.  I just want more of my collection to be available.
    Can anyone help with that

    The issue is not related to the external drive. iTunes Match has difficulties matching tracks ripped fom CDs because they may differ slightly from the versions on sale in iTunes. You can try the match again. Otherwise do a search of this forum. There are already many discussions on this subject here that may help you.

    You can't outright. You can extract a fragment of it and massage it into ringtone format for the phone to use. Search for the topic, the procedure has been posted in various occasions.

    This phone was stolen by a friend of mine from me, I have no idea where they are or if the phone is even actvated( i was using it as an ipod). I have used the find my iphone app to try and find it, but its not near an internet conecton so it can't find it. I have locked it with the app as well as seding it a messages saying this iphone is stolen, please call #. I need to prove that I bought it in case his mom turns it in to apple or verizon.

    You will need the serial number. Contact Apple for help with the purchase receipt. Try the store where you purchased it. Check your old email if you purchased online or check your online store account. If you registered it, then you should find the information at: Your Support Profile for Registered Purchases.
