Purchasing Ring Tones iPhone vs. Verizon vs. iTunes

So I finally bit the bullet and I am enjoying my new iPhone of 2 days! Why is it so hard to spend money on the Verizon website?! I belong to the "fortunate ones" whose children pay their parents phone bills! However, the extras etc. I want to handle...
My child pays the bill so I CANNOT SIGN INTO MY OLD VERIZON ACCOUNT. iT WILL SCREW UP HER ACCOUNT....
I don't want to start getting the emails and bills that belong to her family, and she certainly does not need that inconvienence.
Please tell me HOW do I BUY ringtones from Verizon without signing in? Of course, it will not allow me to sign in and I have had bad luck in the past by entering my number without an active billing account. It would be a good idea to have a store option open for us folk.
I guess I will try making a ring tone, but I wanted the NO Hassle tonight at midnight! Would anyone like to address what program I might use on my Windows 7 ??? Thank you very much for your or any reply!

Not really sure what could have possibly happened with your experience with iTunes in the past...if your computer crashed and you didn't do routine backups of your library (either using discs or an external hard drive) then your music would have been lost. Not sure if that's what you're saying happened though. If it was then unfortunately that was a mistake on your part because apple did not at that time store your purchases or allow you to redownload your purchases. Depending on how old your iTunes version is on your computer then the differences of the latest iTunes would be vastly different. You can go to the apple.com website to read more about it to see if it helps. If you currently use the the iCloud feature then you will have access to any of your iTunes purchases and can redownload them to any iOS device you may have or to your computer but you will need to update your iTunes for the ability to download past items to your computer. If you aren't using iClouds then you would need to use iTunes on the computer for any device backups or syncing. Ultimately, if you aren't familiar with current iTunes capabilities or iCloud (or any other features associated with iOS 5 and your new iPhone) then you would greatly benefit from looking the owners manual for your iPhone. You can find it on the apple website at www.apple.com/support and clicking on the manuals link...there your should find the manual for your device which you can save to your computer for future viewing or just go to the site as needed. You can also view the manual on your iPhone by going to Safari on your iPhone and looking at the bookmarks that has the user guide as one of the bookmarks. Sorry if I misunderstood what trouble or issues you were saying you had with iTunes in the past. Glad you were able to find whatever you needed to get the ringtone you wanted.

How doI install purchased ring tone a on iPhone 6?

Did you copy your purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases before updating the iOS ? If you did then it should be in the Tones part of your library so that you can sync it back to your phone.

I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5 and now my purchased ring tones are gone.

I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5 and now my purchased ring tones are gone. I followed another comment and can also say that they do not show up under "purchased" in my "app store."

@lovehelmet good joke!
Today I visit an A1 Telekom store and I ask about this problem. He say "the programmer are working to that and today or tomorrow you will be able to set any APN or other settings".

Missing purchased ring tones, after upgrade

Any advice on how to reinstate purchased ring tones on my Iphone 3gs? The purchases show in Itunes but, if I tick the ring tones sync box, there is a dialogue box warning that all music etc on the Iphone will be lost. I don't want to do that!
Historically, ring tones purchased on the PC have never transposed to the phone and I have directly downloaded ring tones via the Iphone.
Thanks

Thanks, Ann154 and SuzyQ, for your contributions.
Hello ralphluben,
I’m glad to hear you upgraded to one of our fabulous Smartphones. As SuzyQ mentioned, ringtones that were previously purchased will not automatically transfer over when you upgrade your device. However, these ringtones are available for repurchase through My Media Retrieval if you login to My Verizon. Have a wonderful night!

HT201272 How can I find and download my past purchased ring tones.

Please help

In regards to your response abt backing up the content on your phone. I did back mine up because I had to transfer to a new phone because my old one crapped out. The ringtones did not xfer over. Can you help me and tell me what I possibly did wrong?

How do i purchase ring tones or ringback tones for my phone

how do I purchase ring tones and ring back tones for my phone
how do I designate specific tones for specific people

You use a free app like Zedge for the ringtones or use an app like Ringtone Maker, both in Google Play Store and free or similar to snip the desired parts from songs on your phone from your own collection. To assign to a contact, go to the address book and tap the contact, tap EDIT, and scroll down to assign a ringtone. As far as ringbacks go....you have to buy those from Verizon either through the My Verizon app or from your My Verizon account page online. Notice: most people hate to hear other people's ringback tones plus, the volume is always too loud and the quality is horrible.

I just purchased a new iphone 4s and opened itune store and purchased a ringtone. Today I tried to open itune store again and it won't run the app.
I pushed the itune store icon and it opens and promptly closes. I tried multiple times. How can I fix this?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings

HT203433 My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue?

My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue? My phone shows the purchase but iTunes does not see it. I have gone to Store: Check for Available Downloads. Nothing. I would love to listen to this album on my iMac today, not my phone.

By purchased section do you mean the section for re-downloading via the iTunes store homepage, or the purchased section of your library ? I think that the purchased section of your library only shows purchases made on that computer, so it may necessarily show there, it may just be under Music if you've copied it over from your phone.
If you mean the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage then does any of your music purchases show there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If no music shows there then you should be able to copy it over from your phone to the music part of your library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. If other music purchases show there then you are signed in with the same account as you purchased it with, it's still in the store, and it's not hidden (hiding and unhiding) ?
If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you can turn on automatic downloads via the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) so that new purchases on your phone automatically download on your Mac

How do I get a purchased ring tone from my iPad to my iPhone?

I purchased a new ring tone and wasn't thinking. I downloaded it to my iPad instead of my iPhone. I don't know how to transfer it from the iPad to my iPhone.

Transfer it to your iTunes library, on your computer, then sync it to your phone. Connect your iPad, iTunes running, without syncing, right-click the iPad in the left device pane: Transfer Purchases. Then, sync it to your phone.

Previously purchased ring tones missing on iPhone 6?

I've tried to locate solutions to this via Apple Support communities & Google search, but can't seem to find a solution to this problem:
I previously purchased & had several ring tones on my iPhone 4S, & these did not appear on my iPhone after transferring all data/files from the 4S. These ring tones appear in my iTunes account, but even after "copying" these files onto my iPhone 6 (within iTunes), the ring tones still don't appear on the iPhone 6.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
L. Bonnet

I should mention that the tones are actually loaded on my phone.... they are both surrounded by thick lines. I can select them but they will not work when I get a text.

Cant Find Purchase Ring Tone

I lost 2 songs I purchased, when I up dated my phone. It shows that there in my libary, but I can find them on my phone. I just repurchased the 2 songs again, and I see that they were down loaded on my phone, but I can not seem to add them to my ring tone. What am I doing wrong? please help. Not sure if I purchased the songs the wrong way,

You bought a song or a ringtone.
As far as I know, the only place you can buy a ready made ringtone is from the itunes store, ringtones section, on the iphone itself. Otherwise you will have to create the ringtones.
If they are ringtones, tehy will appear in the ringtones section of your library in itunes.

I purchased Ring Tones - they do not show up on my phone

Turns out all Ernestine Anderson songs are ring tonable. So I bought one, then a ring tone for 1.98...A bell folder appeared, a "ringtone" tab appeared WITH the ring tone I created. I hit apply so I can sync the ringtone into the iPhone, the iPhone says "sync in Progress" then the sync stops with no error messages. I look at my ringtone list in my iPhone....and its not there. The same goofy ring tones it came with.
I have the current iPhone version - 1.0.2
I have the current iTunes version - 7.4.1.2
I am however losing faith in apple products and this is my first apple product.
What is wrong? - I had to authorize it - problem solved (dunno why I had to in the first place but..)

iTunes for some reason un-authorized it so I had to authorize it and it worked.

After phone upgrade-purchased ring tones are missing

I just upgraded my phone from an LG ENV3 to a Motorola Droid3. I love my new phone but the ring tones I purchased and used on my old phone didn't get transferred to my new one. How do I get them back?

8.1 won't sync Music purchases from my iPhone back to my iTunes Library

I have run into three issues since installing iTunes 8.1.
The first was the problem syncing Calendar data which many other folks have reported and which I resolved by setting iTunes to overwrite the Calendar on my iPhone at the next sync.
The second is that I have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store app on my iPhone and iTunes 8.1 doesn't seem to discover these songs during the sync process and they don't get copied into the iTunes library on my Mac. I never had a problem with this before in iTunes 8.0. The only thing that's changed is installing v8.1. So I currently have no way of backing up any tracks purchased on my iPhone.
The third issue is that syncing with my iPhone is generally more sluggish then it was in iTunes 8.0 - it takes longer to sync and the progress information in iTunes on my Mac is out of step (the spinning progress wheel next to my iPhone in the Devices pane disappears about 30 seconds before the progress at the top says that the sync has finished - in iTunes 8.0 these things happened at the same time which was reassuring).
Not being able to sync items purchased on my iPhone is a serious issue for me.
Does anyone know if I can revert to iTunes 8.0 safely (i.e. were any changes made to the iTunes library xml files or any supporting files in 8.1) - I have a Time Machine backup of my User Account from before the upgrade to 8.1 and I have only purchased a few tracks on my iPhone (not on my Mac) since.

I'm having the exact same problem with iTunes 8.1.1. I purchased one song from the iTunes Music Store app on my iPhone, now it won't sync (transfer) to iTunes on my iMac. Guess I need to downgrade too.
