If you've encountered the same problem and want to transfer ringtones from iPhone to iPad, you will find 3 ways to transfer ringtones from iPhone to iPad without/with iTunes in this post.
If you purchase ringtones from iTunes Store, the purchased ringtones will automatically appear on your iPad if you sign in to iTunes Store with the same Apple ID. If your ringtones are not purchased from iTunes Store, you could transfer ringtones from iPhone to iPad with the help of iTunes or a ringtone transfer tool. Here I will recommend you 2 tools, Qiling MobiMover and Qiling Ringtone Editor. You can read the following content and decide which one to choose.
There are many light yet useful iPhone data transfer tools apart from iTunes. You can use any of them to transfer ringtones from iPhone to iPad. Here the first tool we recommend you to try is called Qiling MobiMover. The tool allows iPhone users to transfer ringtones and other iOS files like photos, videos, and contacts between a computer and an iOS device, or between iOS devices without iTunes.
Step 1. Connect your two iOS devices to the computer and run Qiling MobiMover on it.
Allow Qiling MobiMover to access your iPhone or iPad by tapping "Trust" on the screen and clicking "Allow" on the program window.
Choose "Phone to Phone" mode, and set the transfer direction, such as Transfer from "iPhone" to "Qiling", and click "Next" to continue.
Step 2. Expand "Audio" and select "Ringtones" on your source iPhone for transferring.
Step 3. Click "Transfer" to start transferring ringtones from your source iPhone to another iPhone or iPad.
Wait patiently until the process finishes.
When the process is done, go to Settings on your device, then tap "Sounds & Haptics" > "Ringtone" to check the transferred ringtone.
The things you can do with the help of Qiling MobiMover are not limited to transferring ringtones from iPhone to iPad. It also supports the data transfer between two iOS devices, which means you can transfer photos from iPhone to iPad and more. Don't hesitate to try other features of Qiling MobiMover if you want to keep your iOS data well organized.
If you don't need an iOS data content management tool, you can turn to Qiling Ringtone Editor. Though it is an iPhone ringtone maker, it can help you move the ringtone from iPhone to PC, and then export it to iPad. See how to proceed.
Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the PC via a USB cable. Launch Qiling Ringtone Editor on your PC and click "My Ringtone."
Step 2. Select your ringtones on your iPhone and then click "Save to disk" to send them to your computer.
Step 3. Connect your iPad to the PC, click the "Push to iPhone" button under the "My Ringtone" section, then choose the ringtones you've just saved on your PC. Click "Open" on the window to push them to your iPad.
Now you have transferred your ringtone from iPhone to iPad successfully. You can do the reverse, transfer ringtones from iPad to iPhone, in the same operation. One advantage of this way is that you can create custom ringtones for iPhone with Qiling Ringtone Editor from a sone, a recording, or a video.
