How can I download ringtones from my MacBook ( In Finder recents) to my iPhone

AirDrop them from the Mac to the iPhone.

Transferring them is just what AirDrop does.

No. It's just a faster transfer than connecting the devices.

Please read their post again and stop trying to say I'm telling them wrong.

that I had purchased from a ringtone site.

In order to anything with them on the iPhone they first must get them from the Mac.

I give up. But good you're here QuickTimeKirk.

I've been doing this for over 15 years.

Thanks that you are giving up. Problem may get solved once they clear the email inbox.

First, download your ringtones to your Mac.

The ringtones you have purchased must be in m4r format. If they are NOT, then you can convert them. Search if necessary. on Google for an m4r converter.

Now you need to transfer your ringtones to your iPhone.

Connect your iPhone to your Mac, open the Finder and select your iPhone from the side menu. If it is not in the General tab, select General and just "drag" the m4r file in, and drop. The ringtone is now on your phone, and can be selected inside Settings in Sounds and Haptics.

Yes, but you may well understand the context of OP issues. The question is how to transfer ringtones. OP would hardly just transfer the ringtone file to a random folder on the phone, in which case he would probably just ask how to transfer a file from Mac to iPhone.

I'm not saying it's wrong to transfer files with AirDrop, but in the context of this issue it's redundant.

Is it possible to install ringtones via AirDrop?

But OP questions were about how to transfer ringtones. Why suggest AirDrop when it will not work?

Yes .... but it has nothing to do with OP issues.
