How to assign recently bought ringtones to individual contacts?

This is tough to explain, because is should be SO simple.
I bought some Ringback Tones from Verizon and they eventually got transferred to my new Incredible.  But I can't seem to be able to get them into my ringtone selections.  I can make them play on the other person calls me, but I can't get them to play when a certain person calls me!  For instance, I have a certain song that I want played when my X wife calls me so I know it's her, but the only thing I can to with them is have that ringtone play on her phone when she calls me!  Even my 13 year old daughter can't figure this out, and if she can't, I certainly can't.
Let's say I go to my contacts and pick my X, down a way it has a selection the says "Ringtone" and I can select the one I want to play when she calls...BUT the new ringtones I bought don't show up as a choice.
How do I get them to be a choice???
TIA

That's the problem.  I can only see my ringtone downloads in "V CAST Tones" and there is NO option for assigning them to an incoming call.  Again, the only option is to assign them to the person that's calling you...they hear my ringtone on their end.  What I want is the standard...for a certain ringtone to play on MY phone when a particular person calls me.

  • Now I can't figure out how to assign the new tones to my contacts

    I used the option "buy more" under ringtones on my iphone 5S.  Now I can't figure out how to assign the new tones to my contacts. Help please!

    Hello p618cg,
    Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s!  You can follow these steps to assign a ringtone to a contact:
    Set a special ringtone for a contact.
    In Contacts, choose a contact, tap Edit, then tap Ringtone. Select the ringtone you'd like to hear when that person calls.

  • Ringtone for individual contacts not working help!

    I have had my Iphone for a week or so and I can not get individual ringtones for each contact to work. The guy at the ATT store was kind enough to transfer my contacts from my old Razr. ALL my calls are reverting to the default tone. This is very irritating. I can not find any duplicate entries in my contact list. I am on the verge of wiping all my contacts and starting over. Can someone help? Running OS 3.1.3.

    Sorry user error.. There is a sneaky little toggle switch right above the volume controls... It was in silence mode... Doh!

  • I assigned specific custom ringtones to specific contacts on my iPhone 4. When I sync my new iPhone 5, will those contacts automatically still have those ringtones assigned to them, or will I have to go into each contact and manually reassign them again?

    Just wondering if it's possible to sync iPhone 5 in a way that automatically keeps my contacts from my iPhone 4 with the same custom ringtones. Or will I have to re-assign them all manually?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • HT1386 I BOUGHT RINGTONES ON MY IPAD BUT THEY DON'T SHOW UP ON MY IPHONE. DO I HAVE TO PURCHASE THEM ON BOTH DEVICES?

    I recently bought ringtones from my ipad thinking that they would also be on my iphone. They are not showing up, do i have to purchase them on both devices?

    Settings > Sounds > Ringtone > they should appear in the list.
    If they don't show, try syncing your iPhone with your PC and then see if they appear.

  • Changing Ringtones on Multiple Contacts - Nokia 58...

    I created a group in my contacts and selected a few contacts and placed them in the group.  Then I change the group's ringtone.  However this did not change the ringtones of each contact.  This was not what I expected.
    Could anyone explain why and how I might be able to change several contact ringtones at the same time?
    Thanks.
    M.

    If your group is not that large, try deleting the group and redoing it.
    What else could be going on is that you have a contact in a group but also have it assigned a personal ringtone in the Contact details. I believe that the ringtone in the Contacts will override the ringtone in the group.
    Also, check and make sure that one contact is not in several groups.

  • Changing ringtones for each contact?

    How do I set the ringtones for each contact?  I can't find out how to do it, and the Verizon guy couldn't help.

    2) select "View contact"
    3) press the Menu button on the bottom left of the phone (the one with the 4 squares)
    4) select "Edit"
    5) select "Additional info" at the bottom and tap the triangle
    6) select "Ringtone"

  • TS2988 I bought ringtones via Itunes and recently reset my iphone 5s the tones will no longer sync to my phone?

    I bought ringtones a few months ago on my iphone 5s and I sync it regularly to my laptop.  I recently reset it and the ringtones will no longer copy back to my phone and wont let me redownload them. Do I have to repurchase them or is there another way I can get them back??

    I dont know if this will help.. but:
    I had to plug my Iphone 5s into my laptop.
    Open up Itunes
    Click on the Iphone tab at the top
    Let everything load
    Click on "Summary" (mine was checked to only add selected options to my iphone)
    Go to the "Tones" tab (to the right of the Summary tab)
    Check if all your tones in your Itunes are checked (they won't sync if they arent checked)
    Click "Apply" at the bottom right of that page (next to where it shows how much space you have left on your phone)
    Click Sync
    Hopefully they will now be added..
    I had this same problem with the new update..

  • HT201272 I purchased a ringtone from itunes store on my I phone 5 but cannot find how to assign it to my ringtone

    I purchased a ringtone from itunes store on my iphone5 but cannot find how to assign it as my ringtone. Can anyone offer suggestions please

    Help again! lol
    tonight I tried to download a ringtone to my iPhone 5.  Picked out the one I wanted, clicked on "buy" and was asked for my p/w & if I wanted to assign it to a contact.  Yes, entered correct p/w & yes.  NO DOWNLOAD - it doesn't show up in my Ringtones under "Sounds" or "Text Tones" and a search of my phone doesn't show it.  So, even though my balance was subtracted the cost, I tried again....still doesn't show up on the phone OR in iTunes on my iMac or iPad - and I was charged for it again!!   ETA: It doesn't even show up in recent purchases.?!?
    iMatch is turned on in all devices and I noticed that in iTunes on my iMac, there is NO tab for "Ringtones" or "Tones" in the top menu across my iTunes screen....however, in my library on the Mac there IS a line item for ringtones, but it's empty when I click on it.  This is the 2nd ringtone I've purchased that doesn't show up; thrtefore I cannot use either one but have been charged for both...GRRR
    I also noticed tonight that a lot of my options in my Library on the Mac are "grayed out" so I can't even get into them. Yes, I'm signed in & all devices are
    authorized.  Can't even sync my iPhone & yes I checked that it's marked on both devices.  *sigh*
    What do I need to do?  The closest Apple store is over an hour away from me.  Should I reset iTunes or the iPhone (or both)?  Not really what I want to do on my long weekend now that I'm finally down to 2 jobs 6 days a week!
    TIA for any help anyone can give me!
    (BTW, it turned out the other ringtone I'd purchased on 12/1/11 was no longer available (3rd ringtone - actually 1st so the ones in this question are #'s 2 & 3), and Apple was kind enough to give me some free songs.)
