Transferring ringtones from my 3g to my 4s

I have a new 4s. All data seems to have transferred from my 3g except my ringtones. Did not buy them from iTunes. How do I transfer them over?

Connect your iPhone 3G and back it up, transfer all files from the device to iTunes, the it should show up on your library, there shoud be Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Tones, Radio and maybe a few more, if you have transfered your ringtones successfuly then it should show up when you click on Tones, then connect your iPhone 4s, click on your device under "Devices" then look for a tab that says tones, the check the box to sync your tones, after you've synced it, it should show up on your iPhone 4s

Transferring ringtones from laptop to BB

I subscribed to MonsterTones to download ringtones. When accessing the link, the web site is blocked by my company's web policy. MonsterTones responded by saying I could download the link to my PC and then transfer. The file comes across as an .aspx file and the BB Media Manager won't accept the file. Am I trying to do the impossible? Interestingly enough MonsterTones advised me they wouldn't refund my money because "it wasn't their fault." Great customer service. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

what MonsterTones says, is that you can download the ringtone to your PC, and then transfer the ringtone from your PC to your BB. A ringtone is usually a mp3 file (mp3) or a MID file (midi file). the aspx file is not a ringtone. It is the server program that sends you the ringtone. ASPX stands for ASP extension and ASP is like PHP, it's a programming language. Not a ringtone.
Using your desktop browser, you must find a way to buy the ringtone and download it onto your PC.

Transferring ringtones from a 3GS to iphone 4

I got an iphone 4 today, I was able to transfer most of my data from my 3GS to the 4, however i can not get my ringtones. there is no option for ringtones when the 4 is plugged in but when i plug in the 3 they are still there. someone plz help! its becoming extremely frustrating!!! thank you

Not sure what you mean by there is no option for ringtones when your iPhone is plugged in.
The various tabs for your iPhone 4 sync preferences with iTunes are the same as the various tabs for your iPhone 3GS sync preferences with iTunes. This does not change and is not contingent on the iPhone model. There is a ringtones tab for your iPhone 4 sync preferences with iTunes which is where ringtones available in your iTunes library are selected to be transferred to the iPhone.

Transferring Ringtones from iPhone to New Library?

In a rather unfortunate series of events, I had to reinstall my operating system without warning enough to retrieve my iTunes library. I have all of my music from my iPhone 4 on my new iTunes library, but I am trying to figure out how to get my ringtones to it, so I can keep them. How can I go about this?

I finally figured it out. This should help for anyone else with my problem.

Transferring Ringtones From iPhone To New Computer--Need Help!

I recently purchaced a new computer. I was able to get my music purchased on my phone onto my new computer, however I can't get my ringtones! Does anyone know why this is happening? How can I get my ringtones to show up so that I can sync my phone? I'm in desparate need of help!

I am assuming you found the physical files of the ringtones on your old computer and moved them to your new computer. After doing so ensure you are logged into the iTunes store so your account info is known. Then it should be as simple as dragging them into your library.

Hi Friend,
You need to connect your iPhone in your computer and open iTunes.
1. Place your rintones file (.m4r format, up 30 seconds) to a designated area (e.g. desktop)
2. Import your ringtones file into your LIBRARY, NOT directly into your iphone.
3. "TONES" or "RINGTONES" icon will appear on the left hand column under LIBRARY. (You should see Ringtones there. If not..... Click Edit --> Preferences --> General Icon Ensure that Ringtones is checked. If not, check it then click OK…)
4. Drag your ringtones file from your LIBRARY into your iphone.
5. "TONES" or "RINGTONES" icon will appear in your iphone under devices (the tab where Summary, Info, Apps, etc are located)
6. Click Under "TONES" or "RINGTONES" (as mentioned in Fifth) and tick SYNC tones.
7. Look inside your iphone... and there it is

How do i transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to the ringtones on my iphone 4, tried everything, help

How do I transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to my iphone 4, all downloaded into my ipod on my phone, unable to transfer into ringtones, help

Music transferred from your iTunes library to your iPhone is transferred to the iPod on your iPhone only.
If a custom ringtone is in the correct format, it will be available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Are the custom ringtones in your iTunes library available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

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 to install downloaded ringtone from i-tunes on iphone 4

Can anhyone help me??? I downloaded a ringtone from i-tunes, but I cannot get it installed as a ringtone on my iphone 4....

If you purchased a ringtone with iTunes on your computer, under Library in the iTunes source list - the source list to the left of the main iTunes window where you select what is available in your iTunes library on your computer, select Ringtones.
Is this ringtone available in the main iTunes window with Ringtones selected under Library in the iTunes source list?
If so, with your iPhone connected to iTunes - available under Devices in the iTunes source list, select your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list to bring up the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes - for transferring select music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, 3rd party apps, and ringtones from your iTunes library to your iPhone.
Select the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. If this ringtone is available when selecting Ringtones under Library in the iTunes source list, it should be available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If so, select Sync Ringtones with the option to transfer all ringtones in your iTunes library or select ringtones in your iTunes library. This must be followed by a sync with iTunes to transfer the ringtone to your iPhone to be selected as your iPhone's default ringtone or for a chosen contact only.

Transferring music from my iphone to another iphone

I was wondering how to transfer music and ringtones from my iphone to my friends iphone or if this was even possibe? Could somebody help me out with this and let me know what i would need to do.
Thanks

Your friend would need to sync their iPhone with the iTunes library on your computer. After doing so, your friend would not be able to sync his/her iPhone with the iTunes library on his/her computer or on someone else's computer without all iTunes content being erased from the iPhone first.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only.
I don't believe the music labels would be too happy with Apple if they allowed iPhone owners to share their music with other iTunes owners. With a Zune this is possible, but a song transferred to another Zune via bluetooth has a limited number of plays before the song must be purchased by the person who received it from another Zune.

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

Folder missing after transferring data from external hard drive

Hello.
I have a big problem and I hope somebody can help.
I transferred 350gb from my SAMSUNG external hard disc to my new Macbook Pro, in order to format it (my external hd) and configure it for Mac as I wasn't able to delete anything off of it, which bugged me. So I did it and everything seemed ok.
Then I formatted my external hard disc and everything was erased from it.
Then, problem begins: One day after, I realized that one folder is missing from the 350gb that I transfered day before, which is very very very important for me.
I tried to recover files from my external drive with a program called StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery and it did recover everything except for that folder! I tried to find it with Finder and I had no luck. I tried both name of the folder and also the names of the files that folder contained. No luck either. I also tried to list files in Terminal and again, no luck. For some reason, only that one particular folder (that is the most important for me!) is missing.
What could be the problem?
Folder's name contained some German letters and dashes and I was thinking if this maybe caused Mac changing its name and maybe moving it somewhere without me noticing it? Or it's hidden for some reason? Or it's gone forever?
Please help, any idea is much appreciated.

I have a Verizon IPhone 4 and i can't figure out how to get my ringtones from an app to my iTunes account, it doesn't have a tab for Ringtones! I have tried unplugging it and checking if would show up but it didn't, how do you enable the ringtone folder?

I have a verizon IPhone and i can't figure out how to get my ringtones from the app to iTunes, my account doesn't have a ringtone section in the liRingtone Folder?brary, how do you enable the ringtone folder?

Edit > Preferences. Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes.
Not sure that really answers your question though.
