Downloading ringtones

pansyflower

I'm new to all this so looking for advice.
Being Christmas and all that, I gave in and bought a Jingle Bells ringtone the other day.
Now the question is, where is it? There was no sign of any downloading going on, and it doesn't appear as an app on the iphone 4. Ideas?

there is a site called ZEDGE you can download all the tones you want there free, then transfer them to your phone via bluetooth.

op where did ya buy it from

I bought it from itunes.

They ditched the ringtone making because it was stupidly expensive and unused. Far easier to make it yourself or find a programme to do it.

As far as I know you can make the ringtone 40 seconds long, so so you can ignore the bit about 30 seconds.

If you have sync'd your iPhone with iTunes since purchasing, it should be under Settings>Sounds>Ringtone

pansyflower

Yes, I've done all that, it just isn't there.

guil

have ya got itunes set to sync ringtones, click the iphone and go to the ringtones tab, make sure sync ringtones is checked and also the ringtone ya bought

pansyflower

On itunes where's the ringtones tab?

guil

ya need to have the iphone connected, click on it in the left window and then across the top ya should see summary, info, music etc, go to the ringtone one

pansyflower

summary info apps music movies tv shows podcasts books photos... and that's it.
I feel like I'm on a different planet here.:eek:

I found it under the Music tab [logic?] . Now to get it to the phone.
Thank you.
Update. It's on the iphone as a song of all things. Uphill work.

Got as far as
"Go to the name and extension section and change the extension from .m4a to .m4r (or you can just change the extension right from your desktop)."
There's no name and extension in properties.
And I thought I was doing it the easy way by buying a ringtone. :mad:

ya shouldnt have to do any of that if ya buy a ringtone, go to audiko.net and download one, it will be a lot less hassle

download for free here - http://audiko.net/
tones are automatically listed as a ringtone and saved accordinilly (sp).

if you have your own song, upload it, pick what 30 seconds you want and download it.

no mad software, and all done in a minute or 2!

iPhone ringtones aren't available on the Irish iTunes Store. There are albums of "ringtones" to purchase, but they're just the same as music.
