How do I get the ringtone I purchased on my phone to show up and ring for the contact I assigned to it?  It is in my itunes account on the computer, but not on the phone.  Bought it on phone.

I have an 16G iphone 5, which I inherited from my daughter.  I bought a ringtone to use for her, and it worked for a day or two.  Now, however, the default ringtone goes off even though the information on her contact says it is the purchased tone.  When I check the tones, and follow through from either the settings or from her contacts, when I get over to the ringtones, it goes to the default, but the default is no longer in alphabetical order when you access the list from her contact information.
I could not find the ringtone on the phone at all.  When I accessed itunes from my computer, it shows up as a purchased tone.  I synced the phone and the computer, and tried to download the tone back onto the device, but it is still not there.  What do I do now?

Hi redspot,
Apple Store is not the same as the App Store. You cannot delete the App Store app from your device. It may be on a different Home Screen, in a folder, or not visable because Restrictions are turned on:
1.     Check all Home screens to see if you can find it
2.     Swipe down from the middle of the screen to do a Spotlight search and type in App - the blue icon with the white "A" in the center is the App Store - if it is in a folder, it will tell you which one it got accidently moved into
3.     Check Settings>General>Restrictions, and if Restrictions are on, make sure that the App Store icons are turned on to "Allow"
If none of that works for you, close all open apps: Press the Home bottom twice and swipe up on each of the Thumbnails that appear above your open apps until all are closed.
Also, reset the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. Once the Home screen redisplays, see if you can see the App Store icon.
Cheers,
GB

    You might try downloading it directly to your iPod from your iTunes purchased list (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    Pin order to share photos using photostream you need to log into the same iCloud account on both devices, videos are not included in photostream, but other third party apps such as Dropbox and video stream for iCloud can share video between your devices.

    It requires too much CPU usage on my old computer.

    You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account.  If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

  • TS1424 I receive a prompt that my Itunes account has been disabled, but not for security reasons as suggested. Any ideas?

    I keep receiving a prompt that my account has been disabled, but not for secruity reasons. I had problems almost half a year ago with unauthorized purchases. When I asked Apple about the purchases, instead of providing answers, they said they would disable the account. Not only is that awful customer service and not answering my question, it's a HUGE pain in the butt because I just want to download some music legally!!! Does anyone in Apple Universe have any suggestions before I rip the rest of my hair out?

    Thanks,  I have tried changing the password 3 times to no avail.  I will contact itunes support
    thanks again

    Do you mean iTunes library?
    iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
    No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
    Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

  • How do I get free ringtones to work on my phone

    How do I get ringtones from a free app to work on my 4S

    There free apps like RMaker and Ringtones that allow you to make ringtones from songs and hav videos which show how to do it.
    Or if you are really adventurous you could do the following:
    This how to make ring tones for your iPhone:
    1.    Choose the desire song from you library
    2.    Do secondary click to your song
    3. Click "Get Info"
    4.    Go to Options tab
    5.    Set Start Time and Stop Time, some iOS only allowed 30 sec length for one ringtones, then click OK
    6.    Do secondary click to your selected song
    7. Clik "Create AAC Version", new song from your selected will added to your library (short one)
    8.    Do secondary click to your short one (new song)
    9. Click "Show in Finder"
    10. Rename file *.m4a to *.m4r, click "use *.m4r"

    12. Open the ring tones in the Tones folder of your library than drag it to your iPhone. And your iPhone also would be automatically added "Tones" folder.
    13. Last but not least, set the ring tone in your iPhone under the "Setting-Sound"

  • I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account.  One computer is not working, so I want to know how I can access my playlists, etc. that are one that computer on the working one?

    I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account.  However, there are different playlists on each laptop.  One laptop is messed up and I cannot get on the internet with it, so I was able to deauthorize it from the itunes account.   I thought that would bring the playlists over to the other computer, but it did not.  Is there a way to do it?

  • Ipod Classic 120 opens iTunes, is in My Computer, but NOT in iTunes

    When I plug my iPod Classic 120 into the PC it opens iTunes automatically. It shows as an iPod in My Computer, BUT doesn't show in iTunes.
    It doesn't show the Syncing Circle when I plug it in.
    The screen just changes to 'Connected'
    I also get a Caution bubble in the taskbar
    Here is the other photo
    I followed all the recommended options I saw posted including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
    It also locks up when I eject, and freezes up the PC as well.Stays on 'OK to Disconnect' for a while, not the way it always was.
    Its getting to be a real pain!
    Any help??

  • How do I get custom ringtones on my wife's phone?

    My wife just had to get a pantech crux because she started to text because of a new grandchild.  I would love to be able to get "our song" on the crux as a surprise, but have not been able to do it.  I have spent hours searching for a solution on the net, and tried all sorts of possibilities.  Can anyone tell me how it can be done?

    How about trying Zedge.net. I have ringtones on my messaging phone from there. All you have to do is make account with them, plug the phone into the computer and then drag and drop the ringtone you want into the my_ringtones folder that would be on your phone. Having a micro sd card would make it even easier.

  • Removing email accounts on one computer but not wanting to remove on all computers on the same network.

    I have a MacPro desktop and a Macbook Pro.  I would like to remove my apple email account from the Macbook Pro but do not want to take the chance of losing the same account on my MacPro desktop.  They use the same internet connection and network.  Can I just remove the apple email account on the Macbook Pro?  Both computers are using OSX 10.9.5.

    I'm assuming the account is IMAP. You can safely remove any IMAP account and all data will be left on the server for other devices.
    When you check to disable, the account will simply gray out and no longer connect.

    You can do the same thing opening Mail, then under Mail, open Preferences, highlight the account and click the minus sign at the bottom of that panel.
    Either approach should delete the account from that machine.
