How do I select a ringtone I have purchased from iTunes on my iPhone?

Just for starters: I have already searched the Apple Discussions forum, Google, and Yahoo for the answer. I am NOT IN THE UK.
I downloaded a ringtone from iTunes. It was not a song, it was listed as a ringtone. It is now in my iPod on iTunes, but it is not available to select as a ringtone. Only the default ringtones that came with the phone are available to select. How do I select the ringtone that I purchased, please?

I've tried both methods. I once purchased a ringtone on my laptop, and was not able to get it onto my phone. I saw the folder on my laptop, but it didn't transfer the ringtone to my phone.
I thought I could purchase a ringtone from iTunes directly on my iPhone, but it didn't work. The ringtone I bought IS there in the More folder under the Download folder, but all I can do is play it and hear it. I can't choose it to be the default ringtone for my phone, or assign it to a particular caller. If there's a menu or a trick to selecting it, I can't see it. But thanks for the suggestion! I will continue to look.

  • HT202662 I just purchased another film for my iPad, it's telling me I have insufficient space. How do I delete certain items I have purchased from iTunes, such as films, to allow more storeage...also if I do delete these films will I be able to re claim t

    My iPad keeps telling me I need to manage my storage BUT I don't know how to. I have managed to use back up onto the iCloud, but it still tells me I have to manage my storage. How do I do this. Someone mentioned that because I have 3 films already downloaded onto the iPad I have used a lot of storage. They have also said if I delete the films already purchasediTunes remembers these and when I want to watch them at a furture date I will be able to!
    As you have probably already gathered I am not a very competant user and I would welcome some advice PLEASE

    iCloud doesn't backup the actual films, it backs up your purchase history:
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    You can only re download items if they are still available in the App Store.
    Books can be downloaded again (it is audiobooks which are a once-only download).
    Your best bet is to transfer all purchases to iTunes on your computer, before deleting items from iPad.

  • I have an iPod Classic 5th Gen.  After 1 month I've lost all my music and playlist files.  The only files left are music I have purchased from iTunes.  How do I restore my music library to my iPod?

    I have an iPod Classic 5th Generation.  I have not used it for about one month.  When I turned it on, I had lost all my music and playlist files.  The only thing left on the iPod was the music and audio books I have purchased from iTunes store.  I tried to delete everything on the ipod by sliding the hold button and then pressing the center button and the menu and I saw the apple logo on the screen but the iPod wouldn't reboot.  Any suggestions as to how I can delete everything on the iPod and then plug it into my computer to restore my music library?  I am using a Windows 7 operating system.

    Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
    if it  does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
    Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
    Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
    After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
    Connect back to the Mac
    When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
    Sync your library.
    Good Luck!

  • How do I add ringtones that were downloaded from itunes to my iphone 5

    How do I download ringtones that were downloaded from Itunes to my iphone 5.

    You don't, as ringtones are a one time purchase and as such can't be redownloaded.
    If you still have them on your iTunes library, you may sinc them from there.
    If you have a backup that contains them, you may restore your phone from that backup.
    Or you can go to expresslane.apple.com and try for a re-issue. Which they do only occasionally and depending on the circumstances.

  • How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

    Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

  • I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that are not synced with my iTunes account on my computer.  How can I sync my phone and iTunes on my computer without losing what is on my iPhone?  (original computer was stolen)

    I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer.  The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
    When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
    How can I sync and retain both iTunes?

    Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

  • How can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    how can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    Thanks, varjak, it is too easy to fall into use of jargon assuming everyone understands what it means.
    One additional point in all of this, not all "iDevice" apps run on every "iDevice".  Some are customized for a specific device, or class of devices such as the iPod/iPhone with their smaller screen.  Others for just the iPads for their larger screens.  So the user needs to be sure they are getting an app that will work on their specific device.
    And to Phoneboone, you do need to purchase the app again if it is for a different class of equipment.  When you are looking at apps such as iWorks for the Mac and iWorks components for the iPad, the iPad versions are very inexpensive.  Pages is only $10 (US) which is really cheap for such a good word processor that reads and saves in the MS Word format.
    Anyway, search for what you need and just enjoy the convenience of so many options for apps.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences, but not Bookmarks and history''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How do i download a dvd i have purchased from  a source other than itunes to my ipad?

    How do I download a dvd i have purchased from a source other than itunes to my ipad?

    Commercial DVDs are generally encrypted. In the U.S., it's illegal to break that encryption. Because of that, the Terms of Use of this forum prohibits discussion of software or methods.
    If the DVD is not encrypted, Handbrake is probably the most commonly recommended software.

  • How do I authorize my new PC to purchase from itunes store? (it says go to Store menu and choose Authorize Computer but i don't see that option anywhere)

    How do I authorize my new PC to purchase from itunes store? It prompts me to go to STORE menu, then choose Authorize this Computer (which i don't see anywhere) or Advanced (which I don't see anywhere).

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
