Use downloaded ringtone as text tone (no jailbreak)?

I just got my iPhone about 4 days ago and I'm having trouble finding a way to use a ringtone as a text tone. Through some searching on the web the only way I saw people were able to do this is with a jailbroken iPhone which I don't want to do. Is there any other way to do this?

Yes, the only way to do this is to jailbreak your iPhone. I personally do not want to do that, though I very much wish that Apple would allow for customization of this via the configurations or a third party app.

Transfer your purchases from old iPhone to computer iTunes, then select tones in iTunes with your new iPhone connected, do a sync.

My iPhone 6 Plus will not use any Store downloaded ring or text tones

My iPhone 6 Plus is updated to 8.1.2 and even after using the "restore tones" utility, none of my Store purchased ringtones or text tones will work. It doesn't matter if i set them to default, or set them to specific contacts, they won't play. It will only use tones shipped on the phone. If I have a custom tone set and get a call or text, it defaults to the Note tone that shipped on the phone. I can change the tones to any other tone that shipped on the phone, just not to any purchased tone. I've power cycled the phone, even re-downloaded the tones. Nothing...
Any thoughts?

Hey there Rob,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your wife has an iPhone 6 Plus that isn’t ringing or emitting alerts, and your concerned that this is related to the Do Not Disturb feature. This issue may be related to Do Not Disturb, take a look at the article below to find more information about the feature, including how to disable it.

How do I create and use a ringtone without syncing and without jailbreaking?

How do I create and use a ringtone without syncing and without jailbreaking?

You create ringtones on your computer and sync them to your iphone.
You can buy ringtones from the ringtones section (at the bottom of the screen when you open itunes) of the itunes app on your iphone.
There may be apps that will do this - not sure.

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Hi jaswantfromlondon,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact context for when or how these tones disappeared. If your tones have disappeared and you are having issues restoring them, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful (it refers specifically to 8.1.1, but the steps may more generally apply to your situation):

Using ringtone as text tone

I have read a bit about this but cannot find the exact information I seek. I purchased a ringtone several days ago. It has uploaded into iTunes and is listed there as a tone. On my actual iPhone, it is listed and selectable only as a ringtone. I wish to use this tone for texts. It is already an AAC set to .m4r and is only 9 seconds in length. My question is how can I get this tone to show up as a selection for text tones on my iPhone?

Yes, the only way to do this is to jailbreak your iPhone. I personally do not want to do that, though I very much wish that Apple would allow for customization of this via the configurations or a third party app.

Itunes ringtones and text tones not working??

I downloaded a ring tone and a text tone, from the itunes store,and it was working great for about three weeks. I lost charge on my phone yesterday and soon as I powered back up the default ringtones have seemed to take over even though my tones are set to the two tones I downloaded. any answers to why? or is there a fix available? I also have the latest software update iOS 8.1.2 on my iphone6.

Try doing a hard reboot of the iPhone
1. hold the power and home buttons down
2. you will see the "swipe to turn off" screen come up... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
3. The screen will go black (turn off)... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
4. A white Apple logo will appear on the screen, now you can release the buttons. Left the iPhone boot... should only take a couple minutes.

Want to use .wav file as text tone...

I'm new to the iphone world. I have a .wav file on my PC that I want to use as a text tone on my phone (it's short enough). Can I email file to my phone (gmail), open it up on phone, and save it somehow to the phone, so that I can use it as a tone? I was able to do it that way on my Android. Thanks in advance!

Ringtones and Text Tones No Longer Work in IOS 8 upgrade

I have an Iphone 5S and recently did the upgrade to IOS 8... I know better i should have waited a year to upgrade but I stupidly did. Today all my tones and ringtones are stuck on default and will not change to the selected.
Phone has also crashed. Went into restore mode.
system restore did nothing, so its in software..
any suggestions, These are purchased ringtones through itunes,
thanks

I am having a similar issue. I have an iPhone 5, and after updating to iOS 8 it uses the ringtone I have set as my default.. but will not keep the ringtones I have set for one person. I go back in and change it, and five minutes later it's back to the default ringtone. And it keeps doing this.
Help?

I purchased a few music ringtones and text tones on a previous iPhone 5 . When I got the new replacement only the songs downloaded not the ringtones or text tones ..what do I do?

Need help in locating or redownloading previous tones

All content and apps should be in iTunes on your computer.
Connect the device to the computer and sync the desired content to the device.
I do not believe ringtones are available for re-download.
