I downloaded a ringtone from my Iphone, it played a few times, now it won't play

I have an Iphone 3g, I purchased a ringtone through Itunes from my phone. It played a few times, now will not play.

Chances are the file is of the incorrect type. It should be .m4r in iTunes.

  • HT1751 Few days back i bought 8 ringtones from my iphone application for itunes and when yesterday I sync it with itunes all my ringtones washed off. I tried to again download the same ringtones from itunes then it again asked for payment. Why?

    Few days back i bought 8 ringtones from my iphone application for itunes and when yesterday I sync it with itunes all my ringtones washed off. I tried to again download the same ringtones from itunes then it again asked for payment. Why?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I downloaded a ringtone from Itunes and apple owned company to my Iphone4 and then followed all the instructions sent to itunes on pc and synced back to iphone still got squat. Why does apple need to be so hard for something so simple.

    I downloaded a ringtone from itunes (an apple company) to my iphone4 (an Apple product). Followed all the instructions from "Help" boards, sent to itunes on my pc converted to m4r synced back to iphone and still got squat. I thought iphones and apple were supposed to be so user friendly? Any other phone you download a ringtone click on it "use as ringtone" and your done.

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

  • HT1689 downloaded a ringtone on my iPhone and it is no longer there.

    I downloaded a ringtone from iTunes onto my iPhone, but it is no longer on my phone.  It is still in my iTunes library on my computer.  When i sync the phone, it will not sync that ringtone.  It has a check mark by it like all the rest.  I don't know how to fix it.

    Chances are the file is of the incorrect type. It should be .m4r in iTunes.

  • Missing Ringtone When Syncing with iTunes - How do I remove Corrupt Ringtones from my iPhone?

    PLEASE HELP!  I've been having trouble with a ringtone I purchased a few months back. Everything was fine, until a month ago when i synced my phone with iTunes, and my ringtone suddenly disappeared.  I have tried several times to sync / resync my phone again and again, and the ringtone is not there.  It is in my iTunes library under Tones, and it plays when I double-click on it.  But for some reason it won't sync over to my phone.  I've been in contact with Apple Support over email and they have put the ringtone back on my account twice, and both times I have been able to download it back directly to my iPhone.  But it's the same story all over again when I sync with iTunes... the ringtone just disappears, even when I checked "Sync Tones".
    Interestingly enough, when I take a look at my iPhone in iTunes, under Tones, there are 4 instances of the ringtone, all of them have an error icon next to them, as shown in the screenshot below:
    I've tried to NOT sync ringtones, but this list still appears.  For some reason I cannot delete these corrupt ringtones from my phone.
    In my library, the ringtones appear fine, and play fine when I double-click on them.  I don't know why there are 2 of them though.
    Please help!  I've been at this for a month and cannot find a solution!  I've re-bought the ringtone twice, but everytime I sync, it disppears all over again.  I think removing the corrupt ringtones from the iPhone may solve the issue.  Once I remove the corrupt files, I can start from scratch since the ones in my library play fine.  But the problem is I don't know how to remove the corrupt files from my phone.  Please help!
    Specs:
    iPhone 4 version 5.1.1
    iTunes v10.6.3
    MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.4

  • HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

    My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

    Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
    I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily.  It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

  • HT4539 Hi I downloaded  a ringtone on my iPhone but can't  get it on my ipad . It's asking me to repurchase the same item

    Hi all  please help me. I downloaded a ringtone on my iPhone 4S  but when tried to download the same ringtone on my ipad iTunes asked me to purchase the same ringtone again. For me I shouldn't be repurchasing the item for which I have already paid, it's not something that would make sense at all.

    Ringtones (along with audiobooks) are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you want it on your iPad then you will need to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (it shoudl copy over to the Tones part of your iTunes library), and you can then sync it to your iPad

  • HT4623 Am trying to download a ringtone to my iphone 5, but app button on itunes won't open when phone synced to PC. Anyone have ideas about this? Jimbo

    Am trying to download a ringtone to my iphone 5, but app button on itunes won't open when phone synced to PC. Anyone have ideas about this? Jimbo

    Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
    'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • HT1491 I have downloaded a ringtone from itunes. This is appearing in my music but it won't move to tones. Any ideas?

    I downloaded a ringtone from itunes store on my iphone 5. This appears as a song but I can't get it moved either on my mac or phone. Any ideas?

    Thanks for your help. I bought a 5 second ring tone. I have tried all the suggestions to convert it but still nothing. I will ask for a refund when I get my receipt email. One thing that strikes me is that this is a common problem. I think they need better instructions or downloads that are what they say they are. Cheers Kev

  • How do I re-download purchase ringtone from iTunes

    How do I re-download purchase ringtone from iTunes

    This is probably not going to be good news but here are a few things before the final point:
    1. If you have the ringtone in iTunes, you can simply transfer to iPhone (If you have backed up your iPhone 5s, it will be available in iTunes)
    2. Click on iTunes store on the left, then in the right hand side, under "Quick Links", select "Purchased". See if you can locate your ringtone
    3. Most Likely (This is the bad news) -> If you didn't backup your purchase, then it's most likely gone.
    Note:
    "Ringtones cannot be re-download for free.
    Your need to transfer ringtone purchases to your iTunes Library for safe keeping."
    "For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases."

  • I have downloaded new ringtones for my iphone but my itunes dashboard does not show ringtones on it , so i can't put them on my phone.

    i have downloaded new ringtones for my iphone but my itunes dashboard does not show ringtones on it , so i can't put them on my phone.Am i doing something wrong.The ringtones were bought from i tunes.

    Tones is the new name for Ringtones. If the entry is missing in the left-hand column of iTunes then enable it from Edit > Preferences > General tab.
    If your existing tones are not syncing properly to your iOS device then uncheck the option to Sync Tones from the Tones tab when the device is connected, sync the device, check the option and sync again.

  • HT4914 Will iTunes Match sync my ringtones from my iPhone to my iPad Mini?

    I just got an iPad Mini.  How do I transfer the apps and ringtones from my iPhone?

    iTunes Match is currently for music only. You should be able to re-download apps on your Mini via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it.
    Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you will need to copy them from your phone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (they will copy over to the Tones section of your library, and your apps other purchases will also be copied from the phone) - you can then sync them to your iPad.

  • How do I download voice memos from my iPhone?

    I can see that I've downloaded voice memos from the iPhone in the past, but now I can't remember how it is done.
    Need help.
    TIA,
    Ken

    iTunes should automatically sync voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
