Ringtone not in ringtone folder

I purchased a ringtone from itunes on my iphone and it has downloaded directly to my iphone, it is in my ipod application on the phone but does not appear in the ringtones folder so i cannot set it as a ringtone.. do i have to sync with my computer or is there a way of doing this without syncing?

yeah I've tried that, might just have to sync it. stupid though, if you can purchase them directly off your iphone, you shouldnt have to sync with a computer, otherwise why not just download it off the computer!
thanks for your reply

I am having difficulties getting an itune i converted to a ringtone into my tones folder so i can use it. what could i be missing?

im having difficulties getting an itune i converted to a ringtone into my tones folder so i can use it as a ringtone. i have followed all steps and have gotten the tune to a tone but i must be missing one last thing. any ideas?

I'm not sure how this applies here, or even if it does, but when I made ringtones for my phone (not an iPhone) I had file size limits on how big it is. Have you seen any restrictions on how large a ring tone can be?

How can I use a downloaded song as an alarm on my timer? Not a ringtone, a song. It is only 30 sec. long.

This is not particularly helpful. I've looked on 3 websites and none of them match my configuration of iTunes. I've gotten as far as creating an AAC file and that is it. Can't find the .m4s designation to change it.

.m4r? Still work or not as ringtone?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has the problem of ringtones not working anymore. I used to rename the file extension to .m4r and then add to itunes library. It changes to .m4r fine and it shows ringtone but it will not play in iTunes. Did the new update of iTunes change this. It was awesome and simple just to change from .mp3 to .m4r. The song clip is 23 seconds so it is not to long. Any ideas?

Not sure about any changes with this associated with the recent iTunes update - I haven't seen anything posted here in regards to this yet, but do you have the current iLife version which is '08?

I downloaded a ringdown direct from itunes to my iphone 4S. When I go to settings/sounds/ringtone, the new ringtone is not there! I have downloaded it twice, but still not there. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Thanks, your advice prompted me to look at it again on itunes, and discovered that i have actually downloaded the full song instead of the ringtone. False alarm...and thank you!

Ringtones Not Listed Under "Sync Ringtones" List

I recently converted one of my MP3s to AAC, found it in Finder, renamed the file extension to .m4r, and reimported it into iTunes. It shows it under the Ringtones playlist and plays just fine. When I plug in my iPhone, however, under the Devices -> Brent's iPhone -> Ringtones tab, no ringtones are listed. I have it currently set to "All ringtones", but none are listed in the list below anyway, and none sync.
Why does my iTunes Ringtones list show one, but my Devices Ringtones list show none?

I also got this problem which I still can not solve.
Are playing time of ringtones you use less than 30 seconds? Have you changed to other computer for syncin? Did it work?

Ringtone problem, assigned ringtones not working

I realized that the phone would not ring assigned ringtones. I made numerous phone calls to tech support and spent hours with them troubleshooting this problem. We tried everything
When your ATT account has caller ID block, in order to unblock the number so people can see your phone number you have to enter *82 in front of the phone number in contacts. In one of the first conversations I had with tech support I believe I mentioned this and was told that it should not cause a problem.
_**It does,_ if there is anything at all besides the phone number under the contact the phone will not recognize that the number has an assigned ring tone.
Also if you have the same number in contacts twice for any reason, (maybe a contact and under favorites) you have to delete the duplicate or assign the desired ringtone to all contacts. Otherwise the phone will ring the default ringtone, not the one you assigned.
I hope this helps someone not to have to spend hours workig on this problem

Hey there Taralynn7,
It sounds like you have assigned ringtones to some of your contacts, but the customized tones aren't playing, and instead you get a default ring when they contact you. Any number of things can cause that issue, so I would recommend starting by quitting all the open apps on your phone, and then restarting it:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Allocated Ringtones not working

Hi all,
I have several ringtones I have allocated to different contacts but when the phone rings it is always the default ringtone, not the one I picked
Any ideas?
Thanks
B

I believe this is a known issue with Apple.
One thing to take a look at, and this isn't my observation but another poster's, is what initially comes up when someone calls you. Sometimes what can happen is that when you first receive the call, it comes up as "Unknown" and then quickly switches over to your contact. So if the phone doesn't recognize the caller until it's too late, it'll play the default ringtone.
EDIT: Ahh, here's that thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1505987&tstart=25

HT201272 purchased ringtone. REceived e-mail confirming purchase and charge to credit card. Can not find ringtone anywhere

Purchased ringtone from apps. Billed and charged. Can not find it on iPhone 4S or on computer.

If you bought it on your iPhone then it should be on it - it will only be on your computer's iTunes if you've copied it over (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases), in which case it should copy to the Tones part of your library (they won't appear in the Purchased link for re-downloading). It doesn't show on the list if you try to change one of your notification sounds on your phone via Settings > Sounds, or if you go into Contacts and select a contact and tap the Edit button at the top right does that allow you to assign that ringtone to that contact ?
Or is is a ringtone that you bought in an app i.e. not a ringtone from the iTunes store ?

Ringtone not editing

going crazy with the ringtone editor for iphone, just doesnt come up and keep sending me back to the itune store... any recommendations???

You cannot purchase ready made ringtones from the itunes store on your computer.
You have to create the ringtone. Google will find several way to do this.
If it is an actual ringtone, then it will appear in the Tones category in your itunes library. If it is in the Music section, then it is not a ringtone.

Could not create ringtone. An unknown error occurred (-42160).

After customizing a ringtone, I click on "Buy" and get this error:
*Could not create ringtone. An unknown error occurred (-42160).*
*There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.*
Song: Tomoyasu Hotei - Battle Without Honor or Humanity
Note: I did purchase another ringtone with a different song, and had no issues so maybe it's this song having the issue?

Same problem here, same song DRM free, the only one with the bell icon. Bought the song then I converted the song to AAC (right click the song and the contextual menu appears) and used MakeiphoneRingtone (drag the converted song from your iTunes music library to the application and it puts it right into your ringtones library). I synched and just answered a call with Clocks playing as the ring tone, nice and loud I might add too. I don't know about editing the ring tone because the whole song is the ring tone and it's 9.5 megs big.
Hope this helps.

Custom Ringtone not sync

I got a few ringtones (self made and downloaded). They appear in my Ringtones list of iTunes. However, when i sync, they dont sync with the iPhone 3G. The iTunes setting has 'Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected' checked. Under the Ringtones tab, 'Sync Ringtones' is checked and set to 'All Ringtones'. However, during sycn the progress bar on top only shows it syncing Apps. It does not have any problems syncing music. Only the Ringtones have an issue.
On the iPhone.. under the Settings/Sounds, I dont see any custom Ringtones either.
I am sure this must be some stupid checkbox setting somewhere. Just to be sure, i rebooted the iPhone. But no joy. Is Apple becoming a Microsoft?

Are they checkmarked? If the main tab has sync of only checked songs and videos, the ringtones also must be checked.
I agree that itunes is turning into an extremely complicated set of checkmarks scattered all over the place. Just start using podcasts, especially video podcasts that should sync in and out as they are played, while you also try to keep certain other types of videos on there all the time no matter how often they are played. It gets difficult because some kinds of content appear in the song library, the video library, and any one of the movie list / podcast list / tv show list... Blech.

Iphone does not sync ringtone with itunes

My iphone 4 does not sync ringtone with itunes. I created a new ringtone in itunes ( file.m4r) , tagged it and started syncing with my iphone, but the new ringtone does not show among the ringtones in my iphone

Now it works, don't know how, but iot works, since I changed into sync manually started a sync process unsuccessfully and get back to re-sync automatically.
Used sync all ring tones instead of sync selected ones, but I tried this before and it did not work.
Very strange, should have been this change, otherwise I really dont't know why it works now and not before

For incoming calls ringtone not working

My incoming calls are only identifiable with display to ANSWER or DECLINE. I. Can get vibrate to work but ringtones not working. I am missing many calls
because of no ring. I did shut down my Bluetooth earpiece so unsure what happened.

These are a couple of articles that might help.

Try a reset first then if that does not work, you might want to restore.
