Ringtones BACK to itunes

Hey all,
Computer crashed. Windows XP btw. Everythings recovered. How do I take ringtones on my iphone and put them back in itunes to resync instead of them being deleted since thier not present in my library now. Thanks.

Were these ringtones purchased from the iTunes Store?
If so, iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
At the iTunes menu bar, go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
I've never done this when I had any ringtones available on my iPhone that were purchased from the iTunes Store, which is only two, so I'm not sure if this will work for ringtones that were purchased from the iTunes Store. If this does work,it will transfer all content from your iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes Store.

HT203167 I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. They are still on my computer, but won't re-transfer back to the phone. I'm using the correct iTunes account. How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?

How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?
I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. The ringtones are still on my computer and play in iTunes, but they won't re-transfer back to the phone. I'm using the correct iTunes account on both my computer and phone. In the iPhone view of iTunes on my computer, it shows that my phone recognizes that I had those ringtones, but there is an exclamation mark showing that my phone can't find the files. I can't delete these "placeholders" from my phone with the hopes of re-transfering the files back to the phone, either. I cannot just simply re-transfer the files from my computer back to the phone. It won't let me using the regular synch options and I can't find anything in the menus of iTunes to help me out either.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Ignore. I figured it out:)

How do I get my ringtones back on my iPhone they are in my iTunes on my computer

How can I get my ringtones back onto my iPhone? They are in my iTunes account on my computer

So why doesn't Apple tell you that ICloud won't back up your ringtones? It states " Automatically bck up your camera roll, accounts, documents and settings when IPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi" Nowhere does it state it doesn't back up ringtones. If it backs up my music, then why doesn't it back up ringtones? I had my ringtones on my ITunes, but when I updated that, they are gone too! It just seems to me Apple is trying to purposely get you to continuously purchase their services, even when you go out your way to back them up. Had I known this, I would have backed everything up on my PC again. This is very disappointing.

Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily. It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps!

How can I get my ringtones back?

Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I had to exchange my iphone how do I get my ringtones back?

I just bought an iphone and i downloaded one ringtone from itunes on the phone. I had to exchange the phone because of some problems with it. I can't figure out how to get my ringtone back. It says that I purchased it, but its not in downloads on the new iphone or on my itunes on my computer.

Did you download through the computer or directly onto the iPhone?
If it was direct on the iPhone-did you transfer it to iTunes by using "transfer purchases"?
If it is not showing up in iTunes-you did not back it up in iTunes and will have to repurchase it.

How do you get ringtones back on your iphone that you bought?

When my Iphone updated to the new ios last year, I had lost all the ringtones I bought. When I got to the Itunes store and do ringtones puchuresed none of them are there. Then I had bought a few new ones than restored my phone and lost all those. How do I get them back on my iphone?

You don't get your ringtones back if you didn't transferred your purchases to computer iTunes. Only for purchased music , apps, books that you can re-download for free.
Audiobooks, ringtones, and tones
If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.

HT201359 I downloaded ringtones from the iTunes Store, and it won't download, bor will it upload on my phone. What can I do? If I delete the app, will my money be refunded?

I downloaded ringtones from the iTunes Store from Nguyen Dev. It had some amazing tones, but when I tried to download it, it wouldn't work. I ave tried repeatedly, but to no avail. If I deleted it, would I get my money back. My ring tones are so bland that I wanted something that was a reflection of me. This had it all. I am so disappointed. What can I do?

I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

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.

Is there a way i can get my ringtones back that were not synced
