How do i get my ringtones on my phone ?

I have ringtones in my itunes library, and when i try to drag them to my iPhone, nothing happens. I have my iTunes set up so that i manually manage everything, so i dont understand why they wont show up on my phone when i drag them over... Help ?

When I drop the ringtones onto the icon, they definitely transfer however, I have tried moving 8 ringtones onto my phone and only 1 will show up under "Custom". I tried dragging them in 1 at a time but that wasn't expanding the list. The last one I dropped into the phone is the one that shows up in the "Custom" list.
I had successfully installed all of these previously when I first got my iPhone but my PC HD crashed erasing my iTunes library. So I had to re-sync which erased everything on my phone including the ringtones. I then re-sync'd my music folder, and THEN sync'd my ringtones. That erased everything AGAIN and now here I am. My iPhone is sync'd but my ringtones are pooched.
This really shouldn't be so difficult.
Is there a way on the phone (that I don't know about) to list all of the custom ringtones currently on my phone? When I look under Settings/Sounds/Ringtone, only the one custom ringtone is listed yet when I plug into iTunes it shows all 8 being there.
Some assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

    Realize that purchased ringtones can only be downloaded once.  You will have to either get them off your computer or your old phone (or buy them again).

  • HT1349 I bought ring tones on mi ipad assuming they would "cloud" over to my phone, nope, so how do i get my ringtones to my phone now

    I bought ring tones on my ipad cause i cant see the stuff on the phone, i thought it would transfer over to my phone, but no, so how do i get my purchased ring tones over from my ipad to my iphone........this stuff will just give me a heart attack one day, i am not a technical person to say the least

    What do you mean you can't see stuff on your phone? 
    You can go into your iPhone, and click on iTunes, then the purchased tab and you can download the ringtones to your iPhone.
    You can sync them to your iPhone from an iTunes sync on your computer.

    Hello
    Try restoring the device and setting up as new.
    If it is still shows an iCloud activation lock, then it's on an iCloud account
               The wrong device was removed from an iCloud account.
    Check any other Apple IDs you might have at
                 iCloud.com
    Get signed into them and remove that device.
    I wish this was the first time I seen this.
    Best of Luck

  • How do I get my ringtones back on my phone after since i got a new phone

    How do i get my ringtones to my new phone

    So why doesn't Apple tell you that ICloud won't back up your ringtones?  It states " Automatically bck up your camera roll, accounts, documents and settings when IPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi" Nowhere does it state it doesn't back up ringtones.  If it backs up my music, then why doesn't it back up ringtones? I had my ringtones on my ITunes, but when I updated that, they are gone too!  It just seems to me Apple is trying to purposely get you to continuously purchase their services, even when you go out your way to back them up. Had I known this, I would have backed everything up on my PC again. This is very disappointing.

  • HT203167 I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4.  They are still on my computer, but won't re-transfer back to the phone.  I'm using the correct iTunes account.  How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?

    How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?
    I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4.  The ringtones are still on my computer and play in iTunes, but they won't re-transfer back to the phone.  I'm using the correct iTunes account on both my computer and phone.  In the iPhone view of iTunes on my computer, it shows that my phone recognizes that I had those ringtones, but there is an exclamation mark showing that my phone can't find the files.  I can't delete these "placeholders" from my phone with the hopes of re-transfering the files back to the phone, either.  I cannot just simply re-transfer the files from my computer back to the phone.  It won't let me using the regular synch options and I can't find anything in the menus of iTunes to help me out either.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. 

    Ignore.  I figured it out:)

  • ** How do I get my ringtones back and pictures?

    It took me 3 hours to update my ipnone4. Then I lost all my pictures, apps, and music. I was able to reinstall my apps and didn't have to pay for them. I was also able to get my music put back on, however the ringtones I paid for I couldn't. The pictures I suppose were my fault for not saving them before I did the update. But I've only had this phone for 3 months and I'm still trying to understand some of the quarks that it has.
    Please help me. How do I get my ringtones back?  And are my pictures lost for good?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Yes the wipe would delete all personal data settings as a security feature designed in the device.
    Unless you have used the Blackberry desktop software to get a full backup of the device prior to the wipe the data is gone. If you do have the backup file you can restore the data via the desktop manager.
    Thanks,

    " As a security feature, the BlackBerry smartphone is designed to allow a maximum of 10 attempts by the BlackBerry smartphone user to type the correct password. After the tenth attempt, if the correct password has not been typed, all data is erased from the BlackBerry smartphone in order to discourage its theft or misuse."

    Transfer your purchases from old iPhone to computer iTunes, then select tones in iTunes with your new iPhone connected, do a sync.

  • HT201272 I updated my IPhone and it took away all music including my ring tones. I have been able to recover the songs but my ringtones are not showing under purchased. How do I get my ringtones back?

    I updated my phone and all my music, including rigntones went away. I was able to recover my songs under purchased. My ringtones are not showing under purcahsed. How do I get my ringtones back?

    I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

    Oh nice, there's a PassKeeper application for the iPhone and iPad.  Simply install it and it should talk you through steps, otherwise their website is probably a great place to check.

  • - i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back ?

    - i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back without having to sync my phone to the library where my ringtones are and possibly lose everything on my phone ?

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!
