Purchased Ringtones not showing in Sounds folder

I have purchased a couple of ringtones from itunes but they are not showing up in my Settings\Sounds\Ringtone folder.
How does a person get them into that folder or have the iphone 4s recognize where they are so access can be gained.
Currently they can be seen in my Music app and when my phone is connected to my iMac I can see them in Devices \ iphone \ purchased area.
Thanks

Check to be sure they are really ringtones and not just music files that can be converted to ringtones.  To check, right-click on the files in iTunes, select Get Info, on the Summary tab they must say Kind: Ringtone.  If the don't, follow the steps shown in this video to convert them to ringtones, then sync them to your phone: http://cnettv.cnet.com/create-free-ringtones-itunes-10/9742-1_53-50093086.html.

  • Purchased ringtones not showing

    Hi I bought an album of ringtones from iTunes however they will not show up as ringtones in either iTunes or my iPhone. So far a waste of $9! I hve looked everywhere and tried lots of stuff but to no avail. I even tried changing the extension from .mva to .mvr - at least now the info shows up as a ringtone but will not put it in the tones folder. i have deleted them and brought them back in severl times but no change.
    Any ideas?  I thought if I did the right thing and actually purchased the ringtones that they should work??
    Cheers
    Nick

  • Music, View Options - Ringtones not showing up?

    iTunes 8.0.2.20, iPhone 3G software 2.2. Many other threads complain of the 'bell' not being visible beside tracks that should be available as ringtones. In my iTunes the option to display rintones is not in the list. There is a Library item named 'Ringtones', but ringtones that I purchased do not show up there either. In 'Devices' the iPhone shows a tab for Ringtones, but their is nothing showing up there.
    I uninstalled iTune and re-installed, but same problem. (It seems to me that it might be something wrong in the Windows Registry.)
    I would appreciate any help ... perhaps a clean uninstall (instructions needed)

    Did you buy the ringtone or just the song from which to make the ringtone.
    To make a ringtone in itunes you must:
    Buy the song - 99 cents
    Find the song in the library and click the bell or highlight the song and click file>Create Ringtone
    The editor will appear and you edit the song to the portion you want
    Then you click "Buy" - another 99 cents
    Then sync iphone

  • I've just enabled match and now my new purchases do not show up on my i tunes account. i can only play them buy going in to purchased playlist.

    I've just enabled match and now my new purchases do not show up on my account. I can only access them buy going into purchase playlist?

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer. If your audiobook didn't download correctly or has other problems, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
    To copy the audiobooks from one computer to another, use homesharing, put them on a memory stick or use your Dropbox if your computers are networked.

  • My itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app

    my itunes tv and movie purchases are not showing in my video app, iphone 5s, and this has happened since ios 8 was installed

    Were they previously downloaded/synced to your iPhone, and if they were have you got them in the TV Shows and Movies parts of your computer's iTunes library. When you update via a computer the device is backed up, the iOS version is updated, and your content is then restored to the device - but none of your iTunes downloads are included in the actual backup (just your documents, notes, calendars, app settings etc), instead it looks to get the apps, music, films, TV shows from your iTunes library.
    If the 'show all' setting isn't showing them then what country are you are in, you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, you haven't changed countries since buying them and they aren't hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases ?

  • A movie i purchased does not show up in  the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through

    a movie i purchased does not show up in  the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through.. help!

    I totally agree, I am not going to discredit your comment as everyone is entitled to their opinion as I am BUT, I will not bad mouth other members, especially since  may have not have written my initial statement in a logical manner so Ill try and answer them in order to your response.
    1. I DO LIKE iTunes in general and on the whole  BUT I dislike the new update, iTunes 11, it has completely buggered everything up.
    2. Prior to the update, everything worked brilliantly, including Apple TV. It was user friendly and was easy to use. The new update is counter-intuative and is hard to find, fix anything and as I have had to find out at my cost, reset my Apple TV and start downloading all over again. So let me reaffirm, it is iTunes11 I find hard to fathom, not the old iTunes.
    3. No I am not a developer but I have been using PC's for over 20 years so I do know how one works.
    4. Good Question about who would help me, again, it is someones opinion against someone elses. One day, I may write something that generally people agree with, another they may not, depends on the subject.
    5. " I do not love Apple" ?yet I have an iPhone 4s, iPad and Apple TV, find that an illogical comment!
    6. I have made a General Search on the forums on the subject and the general consensus is that the new update is one update to far.
    7. Oh, I am not a genius otherwise I would have solved the issue in the first place!
    Just to re-iterate, I am not bad mouthing Apple in general, all I am saying is that iTunes 11 is one update to far and I am not the only one saying it.... some have gone a lot further than I have, again, their opinion and who am I to argue with them as I have an opnion as you do and I will most deffinatly not bad mouth a member because I disagree with them for the above reason, debate it, yes, not belittle them.
    Hope these have cleared up my initial statement?

    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically. 
    It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
    Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

  • My purchased music not showing in the purchased folder

    I have purchased muisc and movies and they are not showing in my purchased folder, have only 8 songs showing as purchased. However, the purchased items are in my music library.
    Thanks
    Jonathan

    Did you recently hide your purchases?
    If you did, try unhiding your purchases, as e4joker suggests here -> Re: Unable to see purchased music in purchased folder
    To unhide your purchases
        Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
        If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in.
        Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
        On your Account Information summary, scroll down to the "iTunes in the Cloud" section and click Manage.
        Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
        Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
    Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.
