How do I get my own ringtones onto my iphone 4?

I have a new iphone 4 and am wondering how I get the ringtones that I made on my droid (I have them saved in a file on my macbook pro) onto my iphone?

I am so frustrated.  That didn't work either.
I have the ringtones that I created on my Droid in a file on my desktop.  As far as I can tell, they should go into itunes, why why why

    How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.
    I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, ensuring that contacts was 'on' and then backed up my new iPhone 5. I have surely missed a vital step, but I can't figure it out.
    I'd really appreciate any help.
    Thanks!

    I have also realised that my contacts are not in iCloud. I have backed up my old iPhone several times (today!) and they are simly not getting there. Any ideas?

  • HT1414 i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?

    Hi,
    I wanted to unlock my at&t iphone 3gs that i had for 3  years.  i was told to back up the data on my phone and then restore it as new.  now i don't have any data i had before it was restored. how can i get that data back onto my iphone 3gs?  can i put that data on my ipad?

    Is it an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup? If iTunes, connect the iPhone, right click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes. Click on Restore from Backup.
    If iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When the device powers back on, you will see the original setup screens you saw when your iPhone was fresh out of the box. One of these screen asks you if you want to restore. Choose Restore from iCloud backup.

  • How can I get a custom ringtone onto my phone?

    Phone type: Samsung Reality
    Note: No texting plan; 25 MB Data Package, as required
    Hi everyone! I got the Samsung Reality, and -sadly- the Data Package that is requiired to go with it. I don't have any texting plan, but I want to use a custom ringtone (from my computer). I know we can send a text message to ourselves using free websites such as Ventones, but that would mean i have to pay for the picture Text message because I have no texting plan.
    Is there another way I can get custom ringtones onto my phone without sending a text message or downloading them from the APP? There are some korean ringtones I found online that I would like to use on my phone.
    I was dissapointed that the songs I put onto my phone could not be used as my ringtone. Could I email myself with an attachment of the song file (usually 30~35 seconds long), and set it as my ringtone? Or is that virtually impossible (if its impossible to do it without texting, how much would a text message with a song attached to it cost me)? Any help would be appreciated!

    Picture messages without a texting plan are 25 cents each.  Better than the $1.99 or $2.99 from the online store....
    Attaching to an email would not work as mobile email does "do" attachments. 
    Sending to your online album will use text messages, I believe.  Better to use a micro SD card, save to the card, and transfer them to your computer that way.

  • How can I get my music back onto my iPhone from the the cloud

    I have a new primary PC.  My music Library is on an old dying laptop.  I have found all my music has disappeared from my phone.  Some is on the cloud, but it appears to only be the music purchased on iTunes, only about 1/3 of my collection.  Now I find all the songs on my iPhone are ONLY iTunes songs and I have to download them each time I want to play them.  Since I'm in a regional area with poor coverage, having to download my own songs every time through cellular is ridiculous! How can I copy my entire collection back onto my iPhone?  And then where's the rest of my collection?  Will I have to rip all my cd's again? If so NOT HAPPY AT ALL. Have also lost all my ringtones which were a Podcast that WAS purchased through iTunes - now gone.

    I did this last night, and copied all the music from old laptop onto new one.  But there was still a lot of stuff missing, mainly from my own CDs that I'd ripped.  Also I'm still getting the icon on my iPhone that the music is on the iCloud. This doesn't suit me because it will cost me a fortune to download each song by cellular when I'm out driving.  I need all my stuff on my iphone.  Do you know how I can get it to download everything i need apart from clicking on every album and selecting "download" from cloud one at a time?

  • HT4539 How do I get a paid app onto my iPhone when I have downloaded it to my iPad. The app has a license for 5 licenses

    Hi
    I am a newbie to paid apps, and have previously used freebies. I have never quite understood the mechanics of how the iPad and iPhone are meant to keep the apps in sync. I've paid $150 for a Hema mapping app which I downloaded to my ipad ok. The license covers up to 5 idevices. I'm stuck on how the app is meant to "appear" in my iPhone.
    I've googled, searched apple forums, and the best I get is the brochure ware on the apple page which says that things are meant to appear in one device if they are downloaded to another (or something similar to that). Can someone take the time to explain what I need to enable to have this happen, and/or what I need to do to get the mapping app onto my phone if enabling a feature doesn't retrospectively "sync" my devices.
    I have a iPhone 4, iPad (
    Thanks so much.

    Thanks AnaMusic. I tried that, after I couldn't find anything on the internet. Their advice was your iphone must have insuffucient capacity. Told them nicely that it was more fundamental than that. Their response was effectively not our space.
    My take: sucky  support for $150..... but we want the app on our ipad for a remote area 5 week holiday that is coming up in a couple of weeks time.
    hence my question on here, so I can get down to the basic fundamentals of app store/itunes wherever it is that is managing the 'syncing'between devices. I've not managed to get a grasp on this functionality & don't know what I don't know if you get my drift.....

  • How do I get my playlists back onto my iphone after itunes match?

    just signed up for itunes match and all my original playlists (the ones I used to sync with my itunes on my computer) are gone.  How do i get these back on my iphone?

    Did you ever transfer your music purchases to your computer iTunes? If so, it is simple to use iTunes to replace the music on your iPod.
    If you only had your music on your iPod then it is lost. Purchased Apps, however, can be downloaded again at no charge from the App Store.

  • How do I get greyed out songs onto my Iphone?

    For a few days now I have been trying to get new songs onto my Iphone 4s, but they wont sync. In my library the songs are able to be played but when I go to my device they are grey with a dotted circle on the left of them. I have tried to fix the problem by looking online for similar problems but nothing worked. I am very annoyed and hope someone knows what do.
    thanks

    Go to your setting--> music and thing shut off 'show all music'

  • HT2688 how can I load my own DVD onto my Iphone to watch it

    I own several DVD's and I would like to load them onto my Iphone 64GB S4
    All I see is a way to spend money at the Apple Store.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It sounds like those contacts may be in another account on your phone. I believe you can only move them to the iCloud account on a mac/PC.

  • How can I get songs from iTunes onto my iPhone

    Help!  I just downloaded the new update onto my 3gs and I can't sync the songs in iTunes BACK onto my iPhone....
    M

    I'm having similar problems. going from an iphone used on a different computer to a new mac is extremely difficult. In order to add those songs that have been "skillfully acquired" requires the owner to "erase and sync" everything from the iphone. Not only that, I have bought hundreds of songs from iTunes (they have a lot of my money) and I have problems now when i purchase a song from my mac that does not auto. sync to my phone. it requires me to manually download the song itunes app on the phone in the purchased section.
    I love Apple, no other computer or mobile device - in my opinion - can compare. However, these added securities and the red tape found in iTunes is frustrating and inconveniencing.

  • How do you set your own ringtones on an iPhone 6?

    I used to own an iPhone 4s and I had no problem making ringtones and transferring them to be used on the phone. However I just cant seem to work out how to get them to show up on my new iPhone 6 when choosing ringtones I have made.
    I have renamed them so they are in m4r format and they show up under "tones" in itunes under my phones dropdown but when I go to find them in the sounds menu on my phone after disconnecting it with my computer they are nowhere to be found.
    This is really starting to **** me off. Why can't they make this easier for users of an iPhone? Seems crazy that they haven't made this easier to do after 6+ versions of the their phone.

    My custom Ringtones that I have used on my earlier iPhones do show up on iPhone 6.  They are under Settings>Sounds>Ringtones ...My Custom Ringtones are the first choices showing and they have a line under the group of customer ringtones and then below the line are the standard Ringtones.  I did nothing special in iTunes when I Restored from Backup to put my personal Media and Data on my new iPhone 6.

  • How do I get calendar events back onto my iphone??

    after updating to ios5 on my iphone 4, I had duplicate calendar events, I deleted the duplicates; but now the events no longer exist in my iphone even though they do on my mac?

    The Mac and the iPhone should both have iCloud enabled and they should sync up.
    The duplicate entries may have been because you had synced the calendar both with iTunes and iCloud.  It should be done one way or the other, not both.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.
