Syncing Purchased Ringtones To IPhone

I'm having difficulty getting my purchased ringtones to show up in my ringtone file so that I may use. Any suggestions?

Where did you get the ringtones?
The ONLY place to get ready made ringtones is from the ringtones section( not music) of the itunes store on the iphone itself.
If they are not under "Ringtones" under "Library" in itunes, then they are not ringtones.
If you bought them from your computer or the music section of your iphone, then you need to create the ringtones.
Have you created the ringtones?
There are several ways to do this. Google will find them.
I prefer Garageband.

How do I sync purchased ringtones to a new iPhone without the old iPhone

Is it possible to sync purchased ringtones to a new iPhone without the old iPhone

If you have copies of them on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to - if they show in the Tones part of your iTunes library then you should be able to sync them to your new phone. Or do you not have copies of them on your computer nor on your backup of your library ?

Unable to sync purchased ringtones after installing OS 5.0

Unable to sync purchased ringtones after installing OS 5.0 on my cdma iPhone 4.

When you go into your iPhone Settings>Sounds>Ringtones...what do you see? On mine...I have a list of "Purchased", "Custom" and "Standard". Do you have that?

Purchased ringtone on iPhone then sync'd with iTunes now I can't use it!

Hi,
Hope you can help.
I purchased a ringtone in iTunes on my iPhone which immediately showed up under ringtones in the settings menu. However, when I sync'd with iTunes on my Mac the ringtone has disappeared from the list of selectable ringtones on the iPhone. The ringtone is showing in iTunes under the Ringtones tab in Devices > iPhone and it shows that it will "sync all ringtones" but for some reason is not showing up on my iPhone as a selectable ringtone to use after sync.
Any ideas?
I am running Snow Leopard, iTunes 9, and iPhone 3GS with 3.0.1.
Thanks!

Thanks Luke - I did that and it worked. The iphone is primarily linke to my laptop. I then linked to our shared itunes machine to download some music from our library, that worked fine. However when I link to my machine, I can see the ringtone in ringtone folder, in the purchased folder and in purchased on the iphone folder but I can't get it back onto the phone. I have tried Sync and Transfer purchases, drag and drop and finally tried the authorise again as a last resort but nothing seems to work. Has anyone got any ideas?

I purchase ringtones on iphone, but they don't show up as purchased in itunes and i can't transfer from iphone to itunes.

I have an iphone 3 on which i downloaded ringtones, two of which are not showing in itunes. I now just purchased the iphone 4s. When I synced the ringtones, those two were of course missing. How do I get itunes to recognize that I purchased those ringtones on the iphone 3?
Thanks!

Well Defcom, your last response didn't fix it, however, it helped!
You had me delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and com.apple.ichatAgent.plist. I did that and restarted with no luck. However, when I was in there, I found one other file that was related that you didn't mention, com.apple.ichat.plist. I deleted it too, restarted and boom, it works and she shows up now. Also, the fonts and such are working properly now too haha. So while you didn't solve it, you pretty much did! Thanks for your timely and helpful responses!

Syncing Purchased Ringtones thru work comp

I have two computers my phone regularly gets used on: my home (my main computer) and my work computer.
Since I no longer have internet on my home computer, I have been downloading apps and putting them on my phone at work. They sync without any problem. I downloaded a song and a ringtone today and it mentions my phone is synced to another library and asks if I want to erase it and sync with my work library.
questions:
1. If I just select sync ringtones will it still erase my music?
2. Why can't I sync with my work computer if the phone is the same and my log-in is the same?
3. Will I be able to access my purchased ringtone on another computer ever?
4. How can I get my purchased ringtone on my phone without losing everything?

I have a problem ~ I have an iPhone 3G and I use my Macbook to sync the applications I purchased from iTunes using this computer. My Macbook crashed and I had to replace my HD with a new one. So all my applications in that computer are now gone (cause hahaha, I didn't back it up) Anyway, I also have an iMac in that computer I have my music and videos that I sync my iPod video to. (I have a Time Machine to back up my data in that computer) Now this is my problem:
1. Can I download the same applications I bought using the same account into my iMac? I hope I don't get charged for them cause I've spent about US$300 buying program for my language lessons there.
2. Will my address book get erased if I sync my iPhone to my iMac?
I am asking this because I've tried syncing my iPhone to my Macbook it only gets the photos in my iPhone to go to iPhoto but it doesn't want to appear in my iTunes. And finally, I just want to do everything in my iMac cause I have a back up there in case something happens again. In other words, I am thinking that if I can download the applications I bought there at no charge and if my address book in my iPhone won't get deleted. I am considering reformatting my entire iPhone since I want to download the application I bought in my iMac anyway. If not, I won't be able to buy new applications from iTunes and just update what I have in my iPhone using wi-fi and I don't want that. I want the option to install/uninstall any application I want depending on my mood. Oh I forgot to mention that I have the same account in my iMac but it only recognizes my iPod video. It also doesn't want to read my iPhone. But I get a warning that I already have registered that user name in 3 computers. One is my iMac and two from my Macbook meaning the one that crashed and the same computer with a new hard drive.
To summarize, I just want to know if I can DL the same applications without being charged and if my address book won't get lost if I sync my iPhone to the iMac (hopefully, my iMac gets to read my iPhone). Thanks in advance. I hope the way I shared my story isn't so confusing.

"Lost" purchased ringtone on iPhone 5

I have two purchased ringtones on the iphone in iTunes and created several via garage band on my mac. The two purchased ringtones initially bhaved and were available as one would expect. They are now "missing" on the iphone. They do not show up in the tones list.
In iTunes on my mac under the iphone device, they show up in Tones, checked, with an exclamation point on the left of the check mark. They will not play. They will not delete.
In iTunes on my mac they show up under purchased and under Tones and play fine.
The two ringtones do not show up as purchased on the iphone in the iTunes app.
Note: For a couple days the purchased ringtones were available and played fine. The tones originating from Garage Band continue to be fine. I did set up backing up my iphone to my mac in the interim. The iphone is sync'd with iTunes.
What does the exclamation point mean?
Any thoughts on how to make these 2 tones available on the phone?
Thank You!

Kudos to 123Rugbyman.... In a separate thread he proposed:
Hi,
I had the same problem but what I did was go into the tones section of itunes, select one of my purchased tones and got info, then deleted all of the info apart from the track name, synced all tones with my iphone 4s and they are now on there.
Hope this helps
Well,this solved it. Apparently changing the info, changed the file, and enabled the corrupted files on the iphone to be overwritten. Clever - thank you. A more "above board" approach would be preferred. But hey, clever, thanks.

ITunes 10.6 not syncing purchased music to iPhone iOS 5.1

I upgraded iTunes to version 10.6 and my iPhone to iOS 5.1. iTunes will not sync purchased music from the iTunes store. In the past, I have been able to sync these purchases via iTunes. Now they appear greyed out on my iPhone 4S.
When I go into the App Store from my iPhone, I am able to download my purchases, but there are many and tapping on them one by one is not something I want to do EVERY time I update my iPhone to a newer OS. I would like to sync from my computer since those files are on my computer and I can play them in iTunes.

I have also tried adding my music into a different playlist and it will still not sync half of my songs. I have also deleted the Purchased playlist and copied them back into it again... still nothing works
This is quite silly!

Can only sync purchased songs to iPhone 5 running iOS 7

I have an iPhone 5, on which I installed the iOS 7 GM a few days ago. Everything was fine, until this evening, when I went to play some music, and it disappeared. I noticed that most of my music would just disappear when I tried to play it: if you played an album, the Music app would flip through each track, seeming to delete it as it went by.
I finally realized that these were only purchased (or iTunes Match-upgraded) tracks, ie tracks which contain my Apple ID.
Match is not turned on on this iPhone, nor is music in the cloud.
I restored the iPhone, downloading the official public release of iOS 7, and it's only syncing purchased songs. Of about 3,600 songs I have selected to sync, only about 430 are syncing.
I see no logical reason for this to happen. There are no restrictions on, and there's no reason why the iPhone shouldn't accept non-purchased tracks. I'm scratching my head over this one. Any ideas?

THis has happened to me. I went to the Genius Bar and they had no ideas - it could be my iMac, iTunes or the iPhone - which doesn't help
any ideas before I get really frustrated?

How to download previous purchased ringtones to iphone

How to download previously purchased ringtones from itunes to my iphone?

Ringtones (and audiobooks) can't currently be re-downloaded from the store. If they are no longer on your device then have you not got them on your computer and/or on a backup ?

No purchased ringtones from iPhone in iTunes on computer and/ or on iPhone?

I purchased all the ringtones from the iTunes Store on my IPhone 4S using OS 5.1.0. Then the update came from Sprint and Apple and as usual I reset the phone before I updated to OS 5.1.1. I was able to redownload and install the apps I wanted (I never reinstall all the apps I have bought when I reset and update the phone) and I was able to redownload all the music I bought but all the ringtones that I bought are gone and could not be found anywhere to be redownloaded. I went on my computer with Windows 7 as OS and iTunes version 10.6.1.7 and ringtones were not in the "Tones" section of the "Library" or "My iPhone 4S". They also were not in the "Purchased" section of the "Store".
I tried going to one of the ringtones I bought in the iTunes Store on my iPhone 4S and I got the message that I already had purchased the tone earlier on and if I wanted to repurchase it. I tried that and I got charged again and then that one ringtone showed up as a ringtone in my ringtones settings on the phone. It did not show up anywhere in my iTunes on my computer. Since I bought about 50 ringtones I am not very interested to get recharged for all of them to get them back on my phone.
I tried downloading all previously purchased items in my iTunes and all the ringtones including the one I re-bought were not available.
This is truly frustrating to me and I would like my purchased ringtones back on my phone, could anyone help me please? Already sent in a support ticket to Apple, anyone else going through this mess?
Thank you so much if anyone could and would help me with this matter.

Can someone please help? I have this same problem except ONE of my 10 ringtones transferred when apple replaced my iphone 4s with a new one. One of my friends is also having this same problem

Cannot sync purchases ringtone

Hi all,
In iTunes, I purchased a ringtone from the "100 Most populate ringtones", then:
1. I saw the ringtone in the Music section of iTunes (not in the Ringtones section)
2. I clicked on the ringtone name in the Music section
3. I selected Store->Create Ringtone
4. The following error message appears:
iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (11556). Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
The Internet connection is there and working fine.
How can I resolved the issue?
My God,, I've working for two hours on this issue. Had I known I'd suffer from that much, I wouldn't have purchased this killing ringtone.
iPhone 4
iTunes 9.2.1.5
windows 7 64-bit
Thanks in advance.

iPhone support are saying: you cannot edit a music in iTunes to create a ringtone and sync it to iPhone unless you are in US. If you want to purchase a ringtone, do it directly from iPhone.. not through iTunes!!
So, why you let me purchase it in first place!!!
Have a nice day sir!
