I am a new iPhone user and purchased some ringtones on iTunes. This then showed under Purchased items. I then proceeded to sync my phone and especially clicked on the tab that says ringtones to include that and clicked on apply. When I look on my phone and go into my ipod I can see the ringtones that I purchased under my playlists but how do I get them from my playlist to use them to assign them as ringtones to my contacts?

I would really appreciate some help on this

If it sync properly. Go to your contact. Select the contact you want to have a ringtone. There should be a ringtone (if not change it say default). Select it and you will a list of ringtone available. All the one you bought will be under Custom.
 
Ringtones purchased

Hello gdlcjr, thanks for replying, I have made dubbly sure that I pressed the apply button on the ringtone tab and I can see the ringtones on my phone but only on the iPod part of the phone and then it shows under purchased. I had a look I do not have any custom under my ringtones. So where am I going wrong?
 
Try these steps Lilly.

1. Go to the contacts application

2. Choose the contact that you want to assign a ringtone to

3. Click the Edit button on the screen

4. You should see a field saying "ringtone: Default". Click there.

5. You will be in your ringtones list. Choose the one you want. Close the app.

6. Wait for your contact to call you :)
