Sync ring tones

I have an Iphone 3G and have made two ringtones. The ring tones show up in Itunes under tones but when I try to sync them to the phone, they never show up on the phone. They are check marked under ring tones in the tones liberary but never make it to the phone when I sync. What can I do to get them into the phone?

Syncing Ring Tones & 12 days of Christmas

Help Help Help,
I downloaded various items from the 12 days of christmas and also bought a ring tone from Itunes. All was fine until I connected the phone to the pc to get some photos from it. Once I went back in the ringtone had gone along with all the items dowloaded from 12 days of christmas. They are showing on my phone on itunes but I cannot put them back on to the phone. Please can anyone help cos this is doing my head in, I have tried loads of different ways and it will not sync back to the phone. Any suggestions????

no no I'm not making the problem clear
12 Days of Xmas App offered a free download of Kylie 'mini' album - I was demoing the app to some folks and happened to hit 'download' on her album three times (three demos of the app... trust me I wouldn't willingly download even one copy....) - at this point what is on my iphone is one album from Kylie, but each track is there three times - so three copies of track 1, three copies of track 2 etc...
'no problem' thinks I, just sync with itunes and remove the unwanted duplicates so - next step... sync the iphone with iTunes.
After the sync what appears in iTunes is one album but with just one copy of each track - but still on the phone there is one album with three copies of each track.
So... I untick the tracks that are appearing in iTunes and resync the phone.
After this sync, on the phone there is still one copy of the album, but only two copies of each track...
Removing the tick basically did remove one copy of each track, but still left me with two on the phone that I just cant get at in any way to remove.

HT1386 How can I sync ring tones previously purchases

I purchase a new i phone 4. But I can not transfer 2 ring tones previously purchased. They are not listed under tones. The only way I see them is when I enter my acct info and look at all my purchases.

Resolution
To resolve the issue:
Make sure that "Sync ringtones" is selected in the Ringtones tab for your iOS device in iTunes.
Sync your device and allow the sync to complete.
If still unresolved, deselect "Sync ringtones" and click Apply.
After the sync finishes, select "Sync ringtones" again and click Apply.
If not
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.

Syncing Ring Tones to iPhone

I have synced my iPhone with iTunes; the tones show up both in my "Tone" section of iTunes, as well as the "Tones" section of my iPhone....but are not on my actual phone when I look at it. I've tried unchecking the Sync Tones box, then syncing, then checking it again, and resyncing it again. Nothing showing up still. Any ideas?

I've personally never synced ringtones onto my iPhone; so the only advice I can give is to download one of the various Ringtone apps from the appstore. Best of luck.

Ring tones are not syncing in my apple 4s phone

hi
how can i sync ring tones in my 4s iphone?

Plug your iPhone into iTunes, in the left panel (Library) there should be a section "Tones", verify your ringtones are in there then sync

I can no longer sync music, books and ring tones

I recently updated my iTunes, and something has changed. I can sync music and audio books - but it erases my ring tones. I noticed this, and attempted to sync my ring tones -- only to lose all of my music and audio books. I have the "manually manage music and videos" box checked (though the check keeps disappearing). This is so frustrating! Anyone know what's going on?

Here is a support article with additional troubleshooting steps you should try:

HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back. when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone. the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

Every time I sync my iphone 4 with itunes my ring custom ring tones change. I have 7 custom ring tones in itunes. One time it will load 1 custom ring tone the next it may be 3 then the next it is one again. The last time it gave me 4 of the 7.

Every time I sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes the number of my custom ring tones change. I have 7 custom ring tones listed. The first time it will load 1 of the ring tones and the next time it will load 3, The next time it will be back to 1. If I have assigned one of the custom ring tones and it does not get loaded it goes back to the ring tone that came with the phone. The last time itunes gave me 4 of the 7 so I have not tried to sync it again. I am using iTunes 10 (10.4.10), and windows 7.
Has anyone else had this problem??
Any ideas to what I need to do??

Have you ever had all 7 of them synced before? Are these ringtones you made yourself? Is there a chance they could exceed 30 seconds in length? Is there a chance you have moved the original file location on the computer? May need the answers to a couple more questions to try and determine an answer.

I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5.

I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5. I see them in my tones folder, I've checked the "sync all" option and I've tried checking the individual tones and then sync. Each time iTunes says it has synced but the ring tones are not in the iPod.

Me too it has been all week and driving me crazy--- I've done everything I've seen on these websites to no avail--- does apple monitor these posts and offer any help????????

Why when I go to garageband and make a ring tone then try to sync it, It says all existing songs, movies and tv shows will be removed?

Why when I go to garageband and make a ring tone then try to sync it, It says all existing songs, movies and tv shows will be removed?

Oh ok. As far as music, no i have not synced music because it would load so much. I don't have movies or tv. I have never loaded ringtones before. So i am guessing they are connected to music. My apps do sync. So the best thing is to not sync and just drop them on my devices icon???
oh, if I check sync music the button for entire music library is selected how do I get Selected playlist, artists, ect. selected. Right now everthing is grayed out.

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.

Sorry. Your info is gone.
You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly. You should have set up syncing from day one.
As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
Very sorry.

No new ring tones after updating software on 3gs

I downloaded the 4.2 software for my 3GS. In the software package it's supposed to come with more ring tone options for text messages and the ability to assign personal ringtones to contacts. I can assign personal ringtones but I don't have the new extra ones. I sync both my phone and my boyfriends 3GS from my Mac book pro and neither of our phones have the extra tones. Any suggestions??

Hi,
Unfortunately us 3GS people don't get the new Text msg tones…
They are only for the iPhone 4

HT1491 I have downloaded a ring tone to my Itunes account on my laptop and it under "My Music" on my Itunes account...how can I get it onto my ohone as a ring tone? I have an IPhone 4S?

I have an IPhone 4S and I downloaded a ring tone for it onto my lap top through ITunes. When I "Sync" ITunes to my IPhone 4 S...the ring tone is transferred as music and I can't get it to be recognized as a ring tone.
How can I make this a ring tone for my phone?
Ed Szygenda

You would have to create the ringtone. Google will find several ways to do this.
You can only buy ready made ringtones from the ringtones asections of the itunes store on your iphone.
