Ringtone Not Showing Up in iPhone

I purchased a song from iTunes. Utilized the 'Create Ringtone' tool within iTunes and purchased the ringtone. I synched the phone with my computer. The 'Ringtone' folder in my Library and on my iPhone both show the new ringtone which I created so it seems as though it was synched correctly. However the ringtone does not show up on my iPhone under Settings>Sounds>Ringtone. Just the standard out-of-box ringtones are there.
The ringtone is under 30 seconds. Manually synch ringtones is unchecked. I am baffled by this one. I synched the phone multiple times. What am I missing? I thought I was pretty savvy at the iPhone but this is my first custom ringtone so I guess I have a lot to learn.

Were these ringtones purchased or created via exporting to a 40 second clip? To play them on your phone they must be less than 30 seconds AND in AAC format with a .m4r extension. Technically you can create a ringtone from any song in your library by doing this. In file info of th song change the start and stop time to any :30 second...or less... Time and follow the preceding steps.
Good luck.

Ringtones not showing up on iphone

Anyone have their ringtones dissapear after downloading the ios5 software? My itunes account shows that I have a ringtone, but I can't find it under 'sounds' in my iphone settings.
boo

I called Apple support today and after 33 minutes and some voodoo, here is the solution.
1. In iTunes, click on your device, then in the main window click on ring tones at the top.
2. Make sure the box "Sync Ringtones" is checked, then check "selected ringtones" then UNCHECK all of them and click apply to sync your phone. This should remove any and all traces of ringtones from your phone.
3. Unplug your phone.
4. Restart your computer
5. Start iTunes and make sure you are signed in. Click on Store and look to see if it says "sign out" or something like that at the bottom. If you are not signed in, then sign into the iTunes store.
6. Go to the Ringtones tab for the device and make sure all the ringtones are still unchecked.
7. Sync the phone. This should update everything except your ringtones.
8. On the ringtones tab for the device, select all the ringtones.
9. Sync the phone. This time they should all transfer.
10. check on your phone and hope this worked.
There are a couple steps in here I question, but this is what they told me to do and it worked.
Good luck

My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.

My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.
I have the BIG DOG 16 gig iPhone and I am only limitted to 9 pages of APPS.
For what I PAID for this GREAT Phone, there should be NO LIMIT as to how many APPS. that I can download until and UNLESS my memory is FULL, which it is NOT even half full yet.
APPLE: Please change this LIMITATION, because there seems to be thousands of APPS. to choose from. Just as you have NO-LIMIT on the number of songs that I can download, I would like it to be the SAME for my APPS.
Thank you.

This ***** badly

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Thank you. This solved my problem too.
But, one little thing to share:
"There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
They called me back this morning at 10 am.
It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle. My problem is now fixed;
all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
Again, thank you.

Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago). Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer. I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app. Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists. Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes? Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

How to create custom ringtones ...
1. Open iTunes.
2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
6. Click the "Options" tab.
7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
9. Click "OK."
10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
Hope this is useful ...

I updated to itunes 10.5.1 and my tones will not show up on iphone anywhere.

I have the setting to automatic sync everything. I have click and dragged the ringtones individually. The ringtones show up in my itunes but not on my phone, in fact the 'tones' catagory does not show up in the search section of the phone. HELP. I went to itunes on the phone and it said all purchases avaliable to be downloaded onto the phone were, it listed the songs but not the ringtones. Is the new software not compatible with the old ringtones?

thanks i tried that and was still unsuccessful, so i restored the iphone and now they are there.

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

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.

Smart playlist not showing up on iPhone after iTunes upgrade to 9.1

Hello,
I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 and notice that one of my smart playlists is not longer showing up in my list of playlists. The music is all in there, and the playlist is also listed when I plug my iPhone into my macbook (under Devices). It's just not listed on the iphone itself, so I can't play those songs. What's going on? Has anyone ever seen this before?

It's not as simple as that. I hope Apple fixes this ASAP. I have only 7 playlists I use. I use so few because they are all smart and update automatically. Equally, this problem appeared to pop up just recently, so I don't know what triggered it. I even went so far as to assume that my library was corrupted. Since nothing I tried worked, I tried deleting my library. Headaches!!! I recovered my music, but all my ringtones were gone. So were all the apps that synced to my iPhone (my music goes on my iPod, my apps and data to my iPhone). The apps on the iPhone recovered back to my iTunes library, but ONLY the apps on my iPhone. I had some apps I had paid for that I did not currently use. I guess they are gone. Even after all that, the smart playlist problem persists.
Aaaaanyway, my experience was a little different. Even though I haven't reproduced the behaviour exactly, it is my impression that the last smart playlist modified is the one that doesn't show up on the iPod. As a thought experiment, created a new playlist called Test and duplicated one of my seven playlists. I synced, and the 7th playlist now shows up on my iPod! The 8th one, called Test, only shows on iTunes, but not on my iPod. Since all 7 playlists are now displaying on my iPod, I will leave things alone until Apple fixes this latest unanticpated design characteristic.

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
