Using downloads as ring tones?

I just got an IPhone and tried to download a ringtone to use as my ring tone.. it shows that I have downloaded it and its there in the files but how do I select it as a ring tone?

Ringtones are set in Settings>Sounds>Ringtone. Where do you see the "ringtone" on your phone? If it appears in your song list, but not in Settings>Sounds>Ringtone, then it isn't a ringtone but instead is a song file that need to first be converted to a ringtone with iTunes and synced to your phone. This will show you how to do this: http://cnettv.cnet.com/create-free-ringtones-itunes-10/9742-1_53-50093086.html.

I purchased and downloaded to ring tones from an outside source (no the App store). How do I get these into my Sounds in Settings so I can use them?

I purchased and downloaded two ring tones from an outside source (not through the App Store). How do I get these loaded into the Sounds on my Settings so I can use them?

Some apps that you download on your iPhone may possibly be to new for the iPod touch 2nd gen. I have a iPhone 5 and a iPod touch 2nd generation myself. If you plug his ipod into iTunes and restore it from a backup of your iPhone than it will download the paid apps and music that are compatible with his ipod. Hope this helps.

Downloading a ring tone to my LG Cosmos phone.

Whenever I try to download a ring tone to my LG Cosmos, for some reason I cannot get it on my phone. However, Verizon will charge me for that download unless I call and tell them it is not on my phone and to give me a credit. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Edy44,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Ringtones have to be purchases on the iPhone itself, unless you created a custom ringtone in Garageband.
I've included some information below for you for both scenarios.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to purchase and assign Ringtones:
Apple - Find Out How - Music - iTunes
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/music/itunes.html#store-buyingiphoneringtones
The iPhone User Guide for iOS 7 explains how to purchase from the iTunes Store (pg. 99), and how to assign ringtones to your contacts on page 47.

Choose Send Ringtone to iTunes from the Share menu.
In iTunes, use the Ringtones pane to select the ringtones you want to sync to iPhone.
Cheers,

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?

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.

Using a different ring tone for a forwarded number

I have 2 numbers, my iPhone and then a Google Voice number that rings on my iphone.
Is there a way to have them ring with different ring tones? I think the answer is no, but I thought I would ask.
thanks

I am having a similar problem. I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 5S. I set up my new phone with a different Apple ID than the one I used on the old phone. I originally bypassed setting up iCloud and everything worked fine until I upgraded to the 8.0.2 OS. Suddenly, I was being asked for a password to an Apple ID that I don't remember setting up. I am pretty sure that I set up an iCloud account with this ID but have forgotten the password. Also, whenever I go through the process of trying to change the password my birth date is not recognized which means according to this ID I don't exist. The Apple ID I set up for the new phone works for the Apple Store and I am able to download upgrades and apps. However, whenever I reboot my phone I am prompted for the password I don't recognize to sign into iCloud. Then, when I hit cancel a message appears saying that "photos for the iCloud account "iCloud" cannot be accessed. Review your account information in Settings." When I press on Settings I receive the prompt again for the password. The ID I don't recognize is an @iCloud.com which suggests I must have tried to set up an iCloud account with a different ID and have forgotten the password.

How do you use a purchased ring tone as a text alert?

Bought the yoda ring tone which everyone loves when it goes off. So decided to buy the yoda text alert but can't figure out how to make it the default message alert sound. Anyone know???? Figured if they sell special ring tones for messaging there must be a way.

You cannot. This is not a current feature of iphone.
You must choose from the provided text tones. You cannot add any at all.

I have downloaded a ring tone from iTunes where can I find that?

I downloaded a ringtone and set it as use for all the calls and could not find it in my iPhone 5c

It's a ringtone that you've just purchased, and you downloaded it from iTunes on your phone and the purchase went through successfully (and there isn't a Downloads tab in the iTunes store app with it still downloading) ? It should show in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone (and Text Tone), and in the Contacts for setting for individual callers (tap the Edit button on a contact). If not then have you tried a soft-reset of your phone to see if it shows after the phone has restarted ?

Why are text tones downloaded as ring tones?

I purchased 2 what I thought were text tones for my iphone. However, they were downloaded to my ringtones. I do NOT want ringtones that say "You have a text". That's just dumb. Not sure why they would even put those in the ringtone options. Is there any way to move them on my phone? If not, I just wasted my money. (Spent an hour trying to find help on apple/itune website. Not user friendly!)

There are no customized text tones at the moment.
ONLY ringtones.
You CANNOT customize text tones at all. There are NO text tones other than the standard ones. None. At all.

How do I get a downloaded ring tone to work Droid MAx with KitKAt?

I downloaded a ring tone but since it is on the SD card I cannot do anything with it except play it in a music player. It is not available as a ring tone and I cannot move it to the ring tone folder. Any ideas?

jcrummie1,
Ringtones are a great way to personalize your device and we are here to help make sure we get it set up immediately.
What happens if you go to the ringtone in the music player and press and hold down on the ringtone? Do you see an option to set as? If so, select that option and select to set it as a ringtone/notification. Let us know if this helps? Was the ringtone originally purchased online or over the phone?

Using my ipod tunes for ring tones

I have just purchased a iphone 3g and have transferred my tracks over to it no problem. I cannot seem to find out how to set one up in my iphone to use as a ring-tone i have tried all settings but cannot find out how to do it.

You cannot select them from the music on the iPhone. You must first make them ringtones (less than 40 seconds, saved as .m4r files), have them in the Ringtones section of your iTunes library, and sync them to the iPhone.

Note that ringtones can be purchased from the iTunes Music Store, but only in the USA (due to record label licensing restrictions).
