I can't find my ringtones on my iphone

i add my ringtone file to itune, under library and then sync to my 4gs.
but i can't find those files under setting on my phone
how do i solve this problem

If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

  • I can't find new ringtones on my iphone 5

    I received my Iphone 5 a couple weeks ago and recently bought some ringtones and some alert tones, but I can't find them anywhere other than the store which confirms they were recently purchases.  Any idea how to load them into the Sounds menu?

  • Can't find imported ringtones on phone

    I give up.  I don't know what else to try.  HELP
    I made a couple of ringtones with mymxr (converted mp3 to m4r).  I got the ringtones to show up in the "tones" section of iTunes (although at one point one of them appeared in the "movies" section).  ITunes seems to sync ok but I can't find these ringtones listed with the tones that came with the phone (iPhone 5s).  I'm a newbie at all of this apple stuff and while I've read of others trying to do something similar nothing I've tried over the last three days has worked.
    I believe it's possible to convert some of my favorite tones from my Blackberry to the iPhone but I'm not having any luck accomplishing this.  Any insight as to how to make this happen would be gratefully received.

    It IS in my itunes as a ringtone but will not sync to phone. I cannot drag and drop either but can with songs.
    When I click on the phone device in itunes and get the tabs on the top, I go to ringtones. If I check the sync ringtones box a window opens stating that if I do sync ringtones all of my music and videos on the phone will be removed. Why is this? I did it with my wife's phone because she only had a couple songs on hers but I do not want to wipe all of my songs off. Is this the only way? I don't even need the ringtone on my phone but I am trying to figure out what to do so i can do it on my wife's phone.
    Highlight the file in iTunes and open "get info" by cmd+click or right click>>get info.
    Make sure that the extension of the file is .m4r
    Since you are not able to drag it out of iTunes on your desktop, it tells me that the extension could be something else other than what it should be i.e. .m4r. Also, hence, when you try to add it to your iPhone the file is being treated as a music file thereby trying to replace what you have in your music section of your iPhone.
    If the file extension is not .m4r, this is what you need to do -
    1. Locate the file on your macintosh hard drive for this -
    2. Click your finder>>music>>iTunes>>iTunes music and then look for a folder called Unknown.
    Note - If your iTunes library is not "clean" with random songs without artists, albums, etc. you might have more than one folders by name "Unknown" or some variant of it. So look around and locate the file on the hard drive.
    3. Drag it out on your desktop
    4. Right click and change the extension to .m4r
    5. Save and double click so that it gets imported back into iTunes and starts playing too on your mac
    6. You will find it under Ringtones. Sync in back on your iPhone.
    Hopefully it will go well for you this time around.

  • Where can I find a ringtone I paid for but it is not appearing in my itunes account

    where can I find I ringtone I purchased but it is not appearing in my ringtones on my phone?

    Select Ringtones under Library left side of the iTunes window. If you see the Ringtone there, connect the iPhone to your computer,
    select the iPhone under Devices on the left then select the Ringtones tab then click Sync.

  • HT1725 can't find a ringtone I purchased on my iphone?

    I purchased a ringtone on my phone. I had to update some info.  Apple sent me a message confirming I am the correct person and now I can't find my ringtone.

    Playlists only exist as part of the larger iTunes library listing so if you are not seeing it there it doesn't exist anywhere else.  I know with my older version of iTunes it is very easy to accidentally delete a playlist.  With newer versions it may be possible to recover it with the undo feature in the menu but this likely will only work immediately after the deletion.

    FACETIME MISSING
    The governments in some middle eastern countries have banned Facetime and it is disabled on iphones purchased in those countries.  The countries include KAS, UAE and others.  There is no way to get Facetime on such phones (for example it cannot be downloaded and installed) and taking the phone to another country does not cause Facetime to reappear on such phones. In  support.apple.com/kb/ts3367  it says “Note: FaceTime may not be available, or may become unavailable, on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Check your device's region of purchase for more information.”

    No.  The phone must be online to provide a location and a history of locations is only provided if you place it in Lost Mode, and the phone goes online (at least temporarily) to provide it's location.
