Lost all my ring tones on my phone

LOst all my ring tones on my phone how do I get them back

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Do you still have them on a computer.

Lost all my ring tones....h-e-l-p!!

I was in my local VZN store yesterday as my Droid was having an issue over the past 3-4 days, not being able to open the screen and having to take the battery out approx. 6-8 times before it'd clear itself. The technician said they'd been having some problems similar to this and he had to do something like a reboot but by doing it I lost a lot of stuff...all my apps, all my ring tones. This is about the 3rd or 4th time I've had to "re-buy" my ringtones as they don't get saved. He then told me that when/if I went into the web site I could see all of my purchases, etc. I did that and my ring tones are there but I could not find out how to re-download them onto my phone...He did also tell me that the only ones I would be able to get "for free" (big joke as I had already PAID for them) were the ones that were 3 months old or newer..!! How can that be??? Like I said, this is about the 3rd or 4th time I've had to re-buy all my ring tones....! Can someone please assist me into getting them back? I am also experiencing a "no sound" when I get an e-mail or facebook posting but assume that's because I have no ring tones....Don't suggest that there are many many "free" ringtone apps because I checked a lot of them out as did the tech yesterday and free is not all that great if they don't have the music you are looking for!! He couldn't find 3 of my ringtones tha tI had paid for so free is not so great.
Any help would be appreciated in getting my ringtones downloaded once again...it's been a long long process trying to put this phone back to where it was 24 hours ago....yikes!!!

I can imagine how frustrating this must be. You will have to re-download your previously purchased items. I would recommend you contact our Customer Care Department to see if an adjustment can be made for the downloads. HTH!
Check to see if your email notifications are set. The steps are below. I would recommend you do these steps after you have downloaded your ringtones.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located on the bottom of the screen).
Touch Email.
Touch Menu.
Touch Account settings.
Touch Email notifications.
Email notifications are enabled if a green check mark is present.
Touch Select ringtone.
Touch the desired ringtone then touch OK.
To disable ringtone, ensure Silent is selected.
Touch Vibrate.
Vibrate is enabled if a green check mark is present.

Sorry. Your info is gone.
You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly. You should have set up syncing from day one.
As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
Very sorry.

HT203167 hey folks has anyone else lost all their ring tones from your library cause mine has disappeared and now i have no ring tones and i dont know how to get them back can some one please help me thanks

Hey can you guys advise me on how to find missing ringtones please

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store, so they won't appear in the Purchased link for re-downloading. Are they in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library - by default your library is stored under:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
And if you have ringtones in your library then there should be a Tones Directory underneath that.
If they aren't there then do you have them on your backup of your downloads ?
If not, and they are still in the store, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download of them

i have the same problem in my iphone. i can receive call and talk and listen too otherwise no sound at all like ringer tone , on-off click soung , video-music song , game sound.
i have tried to clean the audio jack too but result is the same. Can any body help me please.

No external sound or not sound at all - external or when using the earbuds?
Standard troubleshooting steps in order are; power the iPhone off and on, Reset by pressing and holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so, Restore.
i had it once before, restored the iPhone and it was solved, but i don't want to restore my iPhone every day.
Does this happen every day? If not, when was the last time this happened?
If you have sound when using the earbuds, another thing to try is insert the earbuds and start playing a song - making sure the sound can be heard with the earbuds. Without pausing the song, remove the earbuds.
If no sound is available with the speaker and a the troubleshooting steps do not resolve it or one of the steps does resolve it but the same occurs again, time to give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Sure wish 2.0.1 fixed THE worst bug of all. (Ring Tone Volume Issue)

Man, I was so excited to get the 2.0.1 update because I was SURE that Apple would fix the biggest bug of them all with the update.
Nope.
Of course not.
My ring tone volume level is still 100% tied to my iPod volume level.
100% stupidity.
Please fix it Apple. Please?

HT201272 I lost all my files after dowloading Icloud and updating Itunes on 24 September 13. having reloaded the computer and and files from an Emergency Backup folder I can no longer see My Library in Itunes or in Itunes store, and my ipod and ipad aren

can anyone help with retrieving My Library in Itunes and Itunes store - having updated Itunes and Icloud on 24 September 13, my computer failed and I lost all my files which were eventually backed up to an Emergency Backup. my computer is now working again and I have down loaded Itunes and transferred all the files from my Emergency Backup. Non of the music went back into Itunes, so I had to find these files and manually moved them to Itunes. The music is now in Itunes, but I no longer have the folder named My Library, which I think is the reason my Ipad, ipod no longer sync any additional music I have added to Itunes. Does anyone know how to rectify this please.
Many thanks. Crusey

iTunes expects files and folders to be in very specific locations. When you start iTunes it looks for a file called library.itl which is in the iTunes folder. It then uses all the references in that file which tell it where all your media files are located to build up the view you normally see. Probably you moved the library file so iTunes cannot find it and it will make a default one which is empty. When you plug in your iPod it isn't recognizing the library since it is not the same one to which you synced last.
Simply put, you need to undo all your file moves. Not as eaily done as stated but since I cannot quite see from here exactly what you spent an hour doing last night it will be up to you. Did you make a backup before doing all this?

You would have to create the ringtone. Google will find several ways to do this.
You can only buy ready made ringtones from the ringtones asections of the itunes store on your iphone.

HT201272 I lost all my info. after I upadated the phone.

I used with ID when I purchase item on itune store but I can't use now after I upadated the phone.
I alwasy use Id without email address (@.....com)
After I updated, I lost all my information and I had to changed the password for apple
Also not worked the my ID. I had to use e-mail address..
I do not know what happend to my phone.....

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

You should be cautious to use your default profile with other (development) versions.
Did you uninstall that Aurora version?
If you did then I hope that you didn't remove your personal data because that will have removed all Firefox profile folders.

Lost , but found ring tone....

I have two ringtones that were downloaded to my phone, with in a couple of days the tones disappeared. When I go into iTunes they show up under On My Device but won't go to my phone. They have a gray circle next to the name.

GMail works just fine with Mavericks over Safari.
You should always backup your data before installing updates.
If you are uncertain where files are, you can use:
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
And search for JPG and TIF files using lowercase file naming.
Also double check that Spotlight is not presently indexing in the upper right hand corner icon that looks like:
If it is indexing, it will say that it is, and you should wait until it is done before searching for files either with the Finder, or the open/save dialog boxes.
If neither reveals your phones, see this tip on data recovery:

HT204074 i have recently reset my i phone 4 all the ring tones are gone and i cant get them back pls help

why cant i get my ringtones back after a reset

You should be importing pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Nothing should only be on your iphone. You should keep everything on your computer.
If you have failed to do this, then they are gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

HT201272 What about ring tones?

This is the third time I have updated my iTunes on my PC and the third time i've lost my purchased ring tones, when i sync my iphone with the new version of itunes. It only happens to my ring tones, all other content is fine How do I get my ring tones back without having to pay for them yet again?

I do not think Ringtones can be redownloaded. You can only download at time of purchase.
This is why it is useful to have a backup copy of your ringtones and other media
Quite right. Details of what can be relownloaded here. Here is a suggested backup regime.
BTW Steve, congratulations on your new level. I look forward to seeing you in the lounge before too long.
