    If they are in your music library and not tones, then they are not tones.

     

    You would have to create the tones.  Google will find several ways to do this.

    You bought them from the ringtone section

     

    Tap Itunes app

     

    Tap More at the bottom right

     

    Tap Tones

     

    Did you buy it this way?

    Yes I did, once I purchased them I went to my ringtones and alert but they was not there so I went into my music and found them under just purchased.

    it's very easy, I have just started using iphone 4, and have struggled with lots of things. Go to Apps store and search for Free Ringtone Maker it's made by  Wondershare Software Co and it's free. It's not compatible with Lion. It may also not work with iphone 5 although I dont know.

     

    Install it and open it follow simple instruction to drag your choice onto its page and click. It really is that easy, then go to your sounds page on iphone and it will be at thwe top in a new heading called CUSTOM.

     

    I am using iphone 4gs with 4.2 os so it defo works with these or lower models. Hope this helps

     

    PS it stays on your mac not on your iphone, thats why you drag from itunes then do a new sync to your phone.

    That does not work.... I'm having the same problem having purchased alot of tones the correct way and having them end up in my music library.  Totally not happy.
