Ringtones have disappeared!

Hi,
I had about 7 ringtones that I created a while back and they were working fine until my last Sync with my phone.
Now, not only are there no ringtones in my phone, but the ringtones I created in iTunes have disappeared!
Where did they go? How to I get them back?

Shelby,
The Ringtones folder should be in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. If you do not see that folder there, you can do a spotlight search for the ringtone extension (.m4r) and see if the files are still on your computer.
If you still cannot find the files, you can contact the iTunes Store support group here:

Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

    I downloaded a new version of Itunes on my PC now some songs and videos have stopped working as well as ringtones have disappeared.

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

    Your ringtones should be in your iTunes library listed as "Tones". If they are not showing up there, you can redownload them from your purchase history (instructions on how-to) are below: After you get them into your iTunes library successfully; you will have to re-sync them to your iPhone; (Check box for "Sync Tones")

  • HT203167 some of my purchased ringtones have disappeared, how can I get them back?

    I purchased a new iphone 5 yesterday and was able to load all of my files onto it, or at least I thought I had.  This morning I realized some of my purchased ringtones and text tones were missing. Naturally, I figured they would be available for redownloading in the itunes store just like I've done hundreds of times before, but in the purchases area, it says all of my purchases have been downloaded.  I don't think I should have to pay for these ringtones again.  Is there something I'm missing? Is there someone I can complain to from iTunes?  Please help.

    Unfortunately, this is exactly what is supposed to happen. Tones are not part of the Cloud, it is your responsibility to back them up.
    If you are lucky, they may get regranted or something, depending on age etc. Try iTS and see what happens.

  • Ringtones have disappeared from my iPhone/iTunes

    I purchased a few ringtones a couple months back, and now they are nowhere to be found on either my iPhone or iTunes. Is there any way I can recover these tones, or is there something somewhere that states ringtones disappear after a given amount of time that I didn't see despite scouring the FAQs?

    There seems to be some kind of bug with ringtones. I had the same problem. In my case, the ringtone names showup in Sounds. But cannot even play them. Uing iTuens, I removed ringtones from iPhone and added them again. After resetting the iPhone, they seem to work.

    I downloaded a ringtone last week for my iphone5 and it was active on my phone until I did a sync on the weekend with my laptop and now I find the ringtone has disappeared how do I reload it without being charged again?  I still have the tax invoice.

    Ringtones are currently a one-time only download, but if it's not on your phone and it hasn't copied over to the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • My custom ringtones have vanished. How do I get them back? iOS8.1.2

    I just "software updated" to iOS 8..1.2, and all the custom ringtones that I've been using for years have disappeared (this also affect alarm sounds). Some of them still exist in "music" (one of them anyway). The others just seem to be gone. Although when I look at the phone through iTunes, they're all there under "Tones" -- though they have an exclamation mark beside them.
    It was all working just fine until I did the software update. Any suggestions?

    click on the exclamation mark if you can and see what it says.
    try syncing your phone and see if you get an error message about your tones.
    I updated to 8.1.2 and all of my custom tones were on my phone.

  • HT201272 My tones have disappeared from my library, phone, and computer.

    My tones have disappeared from my library, phone, and computer.
    They aren't listed in my purchase history since they aren't songs, videos, or apps.
    I don't know how to restore them.

    Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. If they aren't on your phone or in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library, then are they on your backup of your downloads ? If not, and if they are still in the store, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT201407 I backed up my phone before it was replaced.  My apps have disappeared altogether, and my music is there but it indicates that I need to download (not pay for) each track again.  What have I missed?

    I backed up my phone before it was replaced.  My apps have disappeared altogether, and my music is there but it indicates that I need to download (not pay for) each track again. It's only small stuff, but my ringtones and photos and background etc have all gone, too.  What have I missed?

  • In the latest verision of ITunes (downloaded yesterday) I can no longer see how large (in GB's) my music library or playlists are.  This is a very valuable function and it seems to have disappeared.  Anyone know where it is?

    In the latest verision of ITunes (downloaded yesterday) I can no longer see how large (in GB's) my music library or playlists are.  This is a very valuable function and it seems to have disappeared.  Anyone know where it is?

    Go to the View menu and turn on the Status Bar. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":

  • I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    OK, I understand.  Try this ... it's much safer.  It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
    While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
    Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
    Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS.  So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

  • All of my instrument loops from Garage band '09 have disappeared. What do I do?

    All of the insturment loops I have been using have disappeared. They don't show up in new projects, nor are they accessible in old ones that were created using the loops. I have tried to locate the loops on the HD as others have posted but they are not there. They only loops that exist there are the FX loops which I have access to. Why has this happened and what can I do? Using an iMac if that makes a difference. Also, I suspect that a software update may have been conducted recently, so this might suggest where the problem started. Can I check if one indeed has? (I'm not the only user of the computer).

    Well we need a lot more information
    like what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What recently changed? do you have a backup?
    If you depress and hold the opeion key and launch iPhoto do you see multiple libraries in the select library window that results? If you do check each one

  • Apple loops have disappeared?

    I clicked on Re-Index apple loops user library, and all my loops disappeared. I went on garageband and re indexed them again there, but not all of my loops have appeared.
    I've reindexed spotlight, I've re installed Logic, but they're still not there. Why? 130 pounds isn't cheap for software that doesn't work...
    Oh and also some of the instruments have disappeared.
    http://prntscr.com/1xwqty
    I've got a **** of a lot of work to do for tomorrow (which I NEED logic for) and I can't bloody use it.
    How do I get them back?

    So were mine (I forgot to put in "Audio") but they aren't any longer and I'm wondering why Spotlight can't see them.
