Purchased ringtones are possessed!!!

My purchased ringtones are unresponsive when they go off - meaning I can't make them stop.
If I touch the text message they still do not stop alerting.
I can turn "off" the sound and they keep alerting.
I can turn the "volume button" all the way down and the alert will keep playing.
Nothing I do when the text alerts (which can sometimes be "long" and loud ringtones that I have purchased from the iTunes store) makes them turn off.
Not always, either. SOMETIMES they turn off. Sometimes if they come in and I touch the text message or preview the alert will stop. Other times...no way. Nothing turns them off.
I have the 6+ 128gb
I had the same trouble with my 5
Any idea what causes this? An uncommon bug that apple just hasn't fixed yet?

I found a solution here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16442810#16442810
I hope it helps you too

  • HT1688 My purchased ringtones are not on my new Iphone after syncing. How do I get them back?

    My purchased ringtones are not on my new IPhone after syncing How do I get them back? ITunes store said I had already purchased - would I like to purchase again?

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • Purchased ringtones are not on my new iphone

    I purchased three ringtones and recently had to get a replacement iPhone 5. My purchased songs were transferred however, my ringtones were not. How do I get them back? Please help! I really don't want to pay $1.29 all over again.

    Ringtones are a Once only Download... If you did not back them up to iTunes on your computer you will need to re-purchase them.

  • My purchased ringtones are not showing up on my iTunes account?! Where are they??

    The screen on my laptop has an internal crack so im using my mom's laptop for now. When I connected my iPhone to the computer, I couldn't do anything without syncing my phone which meant everything got erased! I wasn't too upset because I backed up everything on iCloud. Well for some reason, it didn't back up anything and I lost all my media. No biggie. I added most of the songs and apps back. I tried to add the ringtones I've purchased from iTunes but they're not showing up under the "purchased" section of my iTunes account. I don't know why they're not showing up. It's at least 20 ringtones that I've purchased at $1.29 each! Please help!!

    I purchased three ringtones on my iPhone 5. They installed quickly and I was easily able to assign them to contacts. The next time I connected my iPhone to iTunes on my computer the ringtones disappeared from my iPhone. They were still showing in iTunes ringtones section on my computer. They showed up on my iTunes accounts page as being purchased too. I tried everything suggested on the forums to get my purchased ringtones to show on my phone again, with no success.
    I started trying different things out of desperation and finally lucked upon a solution. I opened iTunes on my computer. Under the Library section I opened Tones (left side of screen same section as music, movies, etc.). When the tones section opened it showed my three ringtones. I dragged the three ringtones to the desktop. I then deleted the three ringtones from the tones menu. It asked if I wanted to delete them from iTunes completely or just from the tones section. I chose to delete them from the tones section only. Once they were deleted From the tones section i went back to the desktop and dragged the three ringtones from the desktop back to the tones section. The computer automatically synced to my phone and VIOLA! the three ringtones appeared on my iPhone again.
    Extra suggestion. I have been using an app from the iTunes Store named Ringtone Maker Pro. It takes songs from my iTunes library and converts them to ringtones. It does a great job. There is a video attached that shows exactly what to do step by step.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201272 I recently had to reset my iPhone and all my purchased ringtones are gone. It is in my purchase history on iTunes, but I don't know how to reinstall them on my phone.  Help!

    Can someone please tell me how to reinstall purchased ringtones on my iPhone?

    You should have transferred them to your computer and backed up your computer.
    Sync them from your computer to your iphone.
    You only get one download.

  • Purchased ringtones are no longer on iPhone

    Bought ringtones on iTunes, when syncing my phone they no longer appear?

    The ringtones have already been transferred to my computer a long time ago. The ringtones are on my computer, ITUNES shows that they are available. I individually clicked every ringtone I wanted to be synced and yet they still are not showing up on my phone.

  • I purchased ringtones on my iPhone and after I did the latest upgrade my ringtones are in  my library on my Mac but not in ringtone list on my iPhone? Help?

    Hello! I have purchase itunes ringtones on my iphone and had been using them. They are in my library on my Mac and in my iphone, but they are not in my ringtone list. Ever since I did the last upgrade for the iphone my purchased ringtones are no longer in the list of ringtones so I cannot use them anymore!! Can anyone help??

    Hi lapincoya,
    Open iTunes on your Mac and go to the iTunes Store. Make sure you are logged on. In the store, click on the Music tab, then under Quick Links on the right-hand side, click on Purchased>Songs>Not in My Library. You should see the song there with a little cloud next to it.
    (Alternatively, you can go to your Library in iTunes, and click on Music, and then click on View in the top menu. You will see an option to "Show Music in the Cloud". If you click on this, then any music that has not yet been downloaded to the Mac will show up in your music list with a little cloud next to it).
    Click on the cloud to download it to the Mac.
    By the way, when you purchase music on the Mac, you can get it to automatically download to your device by making sure that Settings>iTunes & App Store>Automatic Downloads>Music is turned on, but you cannot get music to automatically upload to the Mac when you purchase music on your device. You have to do what is shown above to get it on your Mac if the purchase originates on an iOS device.
    Cheers,

  • IPhone 5 without purchased ringtones

    My new iPhone 5 doesn't have the ringtones previously purchased from iTunes afer syncing up with iTunes 6. iTunes on my MacBook Pro doesn't even have a ringtone or tone tab to select to sync with. They also do not show up on my iTunes app on my phone under purchased; only the music, movies, and TV show previously purchased are seen and can be selected. Just want my ringtones back on my phone and assigned back to my contacts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If your iTunes library doesn't contain any ringtones, you won't see the Tones tap in your iTunes sync settings.  Also, purchased ringtones are not currently available for re-downloading.  If yours are lost you can try contacting iTunes store support and they may give you a credit to repurchase them: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • Updated to ios8 and now I cannot find my purchased ringtones.

    I just recently updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 8 and now my ringtones that I have purchased are gone. 

    Ringtones are not part of iCloud. You only get one download of ringtones.
    Not sure if the purchase ringtones are included in the iCloud backup. Did you restore form backup?

  • Lost Purchased Ringtones with iOS 5

    Iknow there have been a lot of issues coming up today with iOS 5 but I have a new one here and I am looking for some help.  I went to set my ringtone and realized none of my purchased ringtones are listed.  I tried going through iTunes on the phone to get them back, but they aren't listed in the purchased area and if I look them up in the iTunes store it doesn't show them like I purchased them.  Please help.  Thanks in advance

    Hey everyone,
    I have a ringtone that I downloaded (not purchased) that wasn't showing up on my phone, but was showing up in iTunes. I tried the uncheck/sync/check/sync routine, but that didn't work.
    So here's an alternative that worked for me, and I hope works for anyone else with a similar problem.
    1) Delete the ringtone from the phone.
    2) Delete the ringtone from the appropriate folder in iTunes (iTunes Music > Ringtones).
    3) Add the ringtone file back to the Ringtones folder in iTunes.
    4) Drag the ringtone to the iPhone icon in the iTunes sidebar.
    5) Sync your phone.
    6) Check your ringtone list in your phone's Ringtones window from Settings. It SHOULD be there now.
    Please note this applies to downloaded or self-made ringtones. I've never purchased ringtones from iTunes, so I don't know if those are handled differently. Still, I hope this helps if the re-syncing option doesn't pan out!

  • Purchased ringtones lost from phone and iTunes

    Apple Chat Support had me uninstall and reinstall iTunes last night in a futile attempt to fix the 5000+ deleted emails that suddenly appeared in my mailbox last night and now my two purchased ringtones are gone from both my iPhone and from my iTunes account. I would love to get them back without repurchasing. And I would love to get some help on my email issue too. Apple Support now wants me to check with my email provider, which I will do, but for now is there any way to delete these 5000+ old emails besides marking each one individually? Thanks!

    So I discovered the source of the email issue...my Road Runner email server messed up. They are still working on the problem but gave me a workaround that prevented further deleted emails from downloading into my email account. Of course deleting those 5000+ emails individually off my iPhone scared me half to death so I deleted my email account off the phone and then re-added it. That dumped all the emails, I am happy to report, including several I wanted to save but I just rescued them from RR webmail
    Anxious to hear from someone with advice on finding my lost ringtones.

  • HT201272 I updated my IPhone and it took away all music including my ring tones. I have been able to recover the songs but my ringtones are not showing under purchased. How do I get my ringtones back?

    I updated my phone and all my music, including rigntones went away. I was able to recover my songs under purchased. My ringtones are not showing under purcahsed. How do I get my ringtones back?

    I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

  • Ive purchased ringtones from itunes.  They were assigned to contacts.  I did the latest update and now now of them are in the list of ringtones.  I've synced twice and they are not on my iphone.  Does anyone know how to find them?

    Ive purchased ringtones from Itunes.  They were working before I did the recent update.  I cannot find them on the iPhone and they are no longer assigned - I had five. I have synced several times and does anyone know where they are or how to assign them again?

    On your iPhone tap Settings > Store
    Make sure Music is switched on.
    Now reset your iPhone.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
