Lost my ring tone

I've been using a ring tone that I downloaded when I first got the phone. I've now lost it - not quite sure how, either because I moved all my music to the SD card or someone who was helping me with something else has inadvertently messed it up -I've now moved a tune back from the SD card to the internal memory but can't figure out how to set it as a ring tone. When I go into Settings / Sound /Phone Ringtone it comes up with 3 options :- File Commander, Media Storage and Sound Picker and I can't see it anywhere in any of those.Can anyone help ? Please ? Thank You x

Don't where the original answer / solution's gone to, but here it is. Open the Music App (purple background with a music note in it), find the track you want, press and hold and a list of options will appear. Select Set as ringtone, and there it is - Magic !!

  • I updated I tunes and my iPhone as well, I lost my ring tones, how can a have them back?

    I updated my iPhone in a computer at home. But I have my phone synchronized with a computer at the office wich I can't download the last version of iTunes. The thing is that the computer back at the office does not recognize anymore the iPhone coz it has an older version and politics at work don't allowed to download anything, so iTunes store is now blocked. I know I can download the apps and the music with the clod but what can I do about the ring tones? I can't grab them anymore from the computer at work and I dont have them at home? Please help... My computer at the office will be erased and replaced in any moment and I don't want to lose anything. Thank you,

  • Lost a ring tone

    I had downloaded a ring tone. Now that I have a new phone (iPhone 5S), that ring tone has not transferred from my iTune to the phone.

    If you contact Apple Support, generally, they can chat with iTunes Chat and regrant you the download. With that being said, be sure to transfer purchases in the future.

  • Lost my ring tones in a hard reset how

    How do I get my ringtones back after a hard reset?

    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • When i sync my iphone5 with my computer i lost my ring tone

  • Iphone lost ring tones

    I just discovered that when I upgraded my iPhone to the iOS 5 that I lost the ring tones I had purchased.  Anyone out there have the same thing happen?  How do I rectify this problem without having to re-purchase the ring tones?
    Thanks,
    Teresa

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. Ringtones are currently a one-time only download and videos (films, tv shows and music videos) can't currently be re-downloaded in all countries, though more countries are being added to those that can (re-downloading). Have you not kept a backup of your purchases ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Cant get my ring tone on my phone

    i got the 5s a few days ago i just synced in today and lost my ring tone. it shows up on the computer but not on  my phone. it asks me to buy it again

    Connect and select iPhone to iTunes > in Tones tab, select your ringtone and do a sync.

  • HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back.  when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

    I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone.  the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

    I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT201401 When I receive a call my ring tone only sounds 40 seconds or less and then  stops and disconnects the call. What can I do to solve this problem?. I lost a lot of calls because of that.

    Ring duration & voicemail are all controlled by your carrier. Your issue seems to be voicemail...doesn't appear to be setup on your phone. I'm not aware of any carrier that permits a cell phone to ring longer than 30 ~ 40 seconds, so that appears to be normal. Contact your carrier as it looks like your issue is voicemail.

  • HT203167 I got new i phone 5 and my carrier activate my phone. In process some how my ring tone that I purchased on the old I phone 4 got lost or I don't know how to get them back.

    I had a new phone activated. Lost ring tones that I had purchased in the transfer from i phone 4 -iphone five. What can I do get them back?

    They will only be where you put them.
    Did you transfer them from your iphone to your computer?
    Did you sync them from your comptuer to your new iphone?
