Changing ringtones for each contact?

How do I set the ringtones for each contact? I can't find out how to do it, and the Verizon guy couldn't help.

Try this:
1) Long press on a contact
2) select "View contact"
3) press the Menu button on the bottom left of the phone (the one with the 4 squares)
4) select "Edit"
5) select "Additional info" at the bottom and tap the triangle
6) select "Ringtone"

Unable to set ringtone for each contact

After upgrade to the 5.1.1 iOS I was not able to set individual ringtone to each of contact anymore.
All my contacts are using the same default ringtone when ever anyone calls.
When I go into contact and hit edit I can see the different ringtone already setup for each contact and when I click it I can hear it play just fine. Then I exit and went back to main screen and try to call the phone and it still using the default ringtone.
Any idea how did this happen or how to fix it? I am trying not to reset the phone.
Thanks

When you call your phone from another, is your iPhone picking up the caller ID that is in your Contacts, or does the incoming call just have a number (or maybe "unavailable")?
Also, there should be no harm in Resetting your iPhone, that is not the same as Restoring it (even if you did Restore it, you could back it up first and re-load the backup as long as your Contacts and Camera Roll are backed up somewhere).

Different ringtone for each contact

Is it possible to set a different ringtone for each person or at least each person on your Buddy List?

I bet all your contacts are Google/Gmail imported right? I had the same problems when I got the phone. I used to have a Droid so when I switched over my contacts where synced through Gmail....and thats where the problem is at...and here's the bad news: you can assigned different ringtones to your contacts but they have to be IN PHONE CONTACTS...meaning that they must be saved directly into the phone(the old fashion way) not sync'd from another source. To prove my point try this: open up your contacts and click "add new" fill in the usual info but after you enter in the phone number dont hit save but keep scrolling down and guess what you'll see......yep, "ringtone" Weird but thats just how this phone is. After finding this out I had to stop gmail from sync'ing my contacts, wrote down all my contacts, erased the contacts that were on the phone, and began the long process of typing in all my contacts into the phone. have fun....

New 4s. Adjusted all ringtones by contact and now they are all showing as "multiple ringtones" for each contact. Help!

I set up my new iphone 4s and assigned ringtones to my contacts on my phone. A day later each contact showed "multiple ringtones". How do I keep that from happening? I did not physically sync my phone and am set up on icloud to sync. thx.

I had this problem due to Linked contact cards so that each contact was composed of more than one entry. Apparently the Contacts list can get corupted and have more entries than you think. I found the answer in the Linked /Unknown discussion on this community. My reply that I poste dthere fixed the problem.
This is what I wrote:
================================================
I had a problem where I could not get the assigned ringtone to ring correctly. Tried removing and restoring the contacts from MobileMe several times and resetting sync to copy the computer contacts to replace the MobileMe contact. Still no luck. Then I looked at the All Contacts number and it was larger than the total number in my Contacts list on the computer. So there were extras I couldn't see. When I turned off the MobileMe Contacts, some where still left anyway.
I then tried to cleanup the list by looking for hidden contacts. I tried the contacts "cleaner app" I had, called Group, which removes duplicates, but it did not find anything. Then I tried your recommended Cleanup app (seach in App Store for Cleanup), and, lo and behold, it found a lot of contacts that should not have been there still. Cleanup removed them all, leaving the list squeaky clean.
Then I turned on MobileMe Contacts again, and after the Contacts list populated, the number agreed with the number on my computer. And the switching of assigned ringtones now works correctly.
So, I basically did what you recommended, but since I am not using iCloud to sync, since I haven't switched to Lion, I did the same thing using MobileMe.

Use different ringtones for diff contacts?

My blackberry used to allow me to change the ringtone for each contact. Can I do that with iPhone? I have a 4s.
Next question - can I change the ringtone notification for when certain contacts send me texts? This would be great

Yes, there is a field in each contact called ring tone and text tone. You can also set a different vibration pattern for each contact.

Ringtone for individual contacts not working help!

I have had my Iphone for a week or so and I can not get individual ringtones for each contact to work. The guy at the ATT store was kind enough to transfer my contacts from my old Razr. ALL my calls are reverting to the default tone. This is very irritating. I can not find any duplicate entries in my contact list. I am on the verge of wiping all my contacts and starting over. Can someone help? Running OS 3.1.3.

Sorry user error.. There is a sneaky little toggle switch right above the volume controls... It was in silence mode... Doh!

Changing Ringtones on Multiple Contacts - Nokia 58...

I created a group in my contacts and selected a few contacts and placed them in the group. Then I change the group's ringtone. However this did not change the ringtones of each contact. This was not what I expected.
Could anyone explain why and how I might be able to change several contact ringtones at the same time?
Thanks.
M.

If your group is not that large, try deleting the group and redoing it.
What else could be going on is that you have a contact in a group but also have it assigned a personal ringtone in the Contact details. I believe that the ringtone in the Contacts will override the ringtone in the group.
Also, check and make sure that one contact is not in several groups.

In ios7 now the message sender appears as his nickname (instead of the first name).my contacts list in my iphone was taken from my outlook (exchange), so for each contact there is several details as (first name, last name, phone number,fax,..... And nickn

Can't make a selection of my pathes even if i have set a program change number for each one.Why is that happening?

Hi everybody!
I send program change messages from my midi controller and the messages are accepted by mainstage 3 as shown in the midi message window,but i can't make a selection of my pathes even if i have set a program change number for each patch.Why is that happening?
I use a novation SL mki or a KORG Triton Le or a m-audio axiom 49 as midi controllers.The program change messages are transmitted by all the devices i mentioned above and shown as received in the midi messages window of mainstage 3.
Has anyone the same experience?

Hi
Have you selected the correct device as the Program Change device and MIDI channel in the Concert Inspector?
