Is it possible that there were both m4a and m4r files in that collection? That would explain why some ended up in both music and Tones. Personally, I wish Apple would give us the ability to delete ringtones in the sounds setting screen.

The good news was he deleted the ring tones from my music so I don't have any ring tones in my phone's music. However, even though he deleted the ringtones from my Itunes, for some weird reason, they still stayed in my phones tones under sounds and hapticks.

You may have to call Apple back and get help deleting them. It is less clear now when you do tab into the list of tones which ones are there and can be deleted or not. I've got many more ringtones on my phone than show up in the iTunes tones list.

Plug phone into computer launch iTunes if it doesn't launch itself, navigate to your device and in tree view down to tones, tab over to the list of tones and deselect the ones you don't wish to be there or right click on them and hit delete then tab over to sync and you should be good to go. I hope that helps.

A friend of mine has an FTP server where I thought he used to have some ring tones for the iPhone. I sent him an email and he sent me this huge zipped file with loads of ring tones in it. The file when zipped was a little over 2 gigs in size. Well, I unzipped it and I contacted apple support. This really cool guy named Jason walked me through the steps to get some of these ring tones to my iPhone. Well, first bad news, is that some of my ring tones ended up on my iPhone's music and now I can't get them out. The next bad thing is I do have a lot of new ring tones but after checking them out on my iPhone, I don't like most of them and wish to delete them . Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do. Thanks. I would have checked the ring tones before I put them on my phone, but they were in some kind of m4r format. Thanks for any help. -- Joshua Hendrickson Joshua Hendrickson -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
