Q: Hi I downloaded  a ringtone on my iPhone but can't  get it on my ipad . It's asking me to repurchase the same item

Hi all  please help me. I downloaded a ringtone on my iPhone 4S  but when tried to download the same ringtone on my ipad iTunes asked me to purchase the same ringtone again. For me I shouldn't be repurchasing the item for which I have already paid, it's not something that would make sense at all.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 7.0.2

    Ringtones (along with audiobooks) are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you want it on your iPad then you will need to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (it shoudl copy over to the Tones part of your iTunes library), and you can then sync it to your iPad
