Custom ring tones on iPhone 5 and iTunes 11

Recently purchased the iphone 5 and  have been trying to add my own ring tones from iTunes 11 (generated from either one of 2 apps I downloaded or my using my original song and making a copy then selecting a 30 sec. portion) but it will not sync several because iTunes says it can't find the origial song even though "Locate" the song on my computer.  I have added all of my music to my iTunes library so it should see all of my songs, but does not.

Are they in the Tones folder of your iTunes library?  If so, and you select to Sync Tones on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings you shouldn't receive that warning.  (Mine sync just fine and I have iTunes Match enabled on my 4S running iOS 6.)

  • Every time I sync my iphone 4 with itunes my ring custom ring tones change.  I have 7 custom ring tones in itunes.  One time it will load 1 custom ring tone the next it may be 3 then the next it is one again.  The last time it gave me 4 of the 7.

    Every time I sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes the number of my custom ring tones change.  I have 7 custom ring tones listed.   The first time it will load 1 of the ring tones and the next time it will load 3,  The next time it will be back to 1.  If I have assigned one of the custom ring tones and it does not get loaded it goes back to the ring tone that came with the phone.  The last time itunes gave me 4 of the 7 so I have not tried to sync it again.  I am using iTunes 10 (10.4.10), and windows 7.
    Has anyone else had this problem??
    Any ideas to what I need to do??

    Have you ever had all 7 of them synced before? Are these ringtones you made yourself? Is there a chance they could exceed 30 seconds in length? Is there a chance you have moved the original file location on the computer? May need the answers to a couple more questions to try and determine an answer.

  • HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back.  when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

    I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone.  the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

    I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

  • Does iTunes still offer ring tones for iPhone?

    Does iTunes still offer ring tones for iPhone? I cannot seem to locate it on the web site.

    Yes.
    Some songs available via the iTunes store are also licensed to be sold and used as a ringtone. You can use the iTunes ringtone creator to create a ringtone for your chosen segment of a song that is also licensed to be used as ringtone.

  • Different alerts for email and sms messages for a contact with custom ring tone

    Hello,
    I have a Curve 8530 with OS 5.0.0.395.
    I have my default sound profile set up to play one type of alert sound when I receive and email message and another when I receive an SMS message (so I know the difference without looking at my phone). That works fine except for contacts that I also have a custom ring tone set up for. It seems that under the Custom Ring Tones/Alerts section of the contact there is only one entry for Messages and it applies to both email and SMS. If I have the contact's message alerts set to the alert I have for email, then their SMS messages play the same alert and I might think it's an email. Or if I have the messages alerts set to the SMS alert sound then their emails sound like SMS messages. Is there a way to have a custom ring tone set up for a contact but still allow their emails and SMS messgaes to follow the current sound profile's settings?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Have you had any luck resolving this issue. I had a 8230 and this was possible. But like you I can get the 8530 to work. If you found the solution, please let me know.

    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store. Do you have copies of them in the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library, and/or on your backup of your downloads/library that you should have been keeping and maintaining - if you have then you can sync them to your phone from that.

  • Custom ALERT TONE for iphone need HELP please.

    I understand how to create a custom TONE as an M4R file and import into itunes into the TONES library.
    When i sync my TONES to my iPhone, it lists as a RING tone.
    My custom ring tones, which are approximately 10 sec long work just fine when set as my RING tone for incoming calls.
    HOWEVER ....
    What i am DESPERATELY trying to do is create a custom ALERT tone and have it LIST as an ALERT tone in my phone and NOT a ring tone. Seems custom tones do not work for sms alerts.
    I searched EVERYWHERE and can not seem to find an answer. I realize apple wants us all to BUY alert tones, but i should be able to create my own too no?
    I created some custom alert tones, approximately 1 sec long each. Converted them to M4R files and sync'd them to my phone.
    In my phone they appear under the RING TONES list and not ALERT TONES.
    Maybe this dosent matter, however, when i try to set my TEXT ALERT SOUND to one of my custom ALERT tones, they do NOT work. My text messages come in without playing the sound.
    Can ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME figure out how to properly create a TONE as an ALERT TONE for my iphone?
    HUGE THANKS to ANYONE that can help.

    I've never been able to assign custom tones under alerts.  It doesn't matter though as you can assign ringtones as alerts as of iOS 5 I believe.  I had a similar issue with silent alerts, sometimes they would play, other times theywouldn't, but they would always play when selecting them under settings.  Resetting all settings (not content) has so far fixed that issue for me.  Try resetting your settings after you've synced your tones.

  • How to add custom ringtones on new iPhone 5, using iTunes 11.04 on Mac OS 10.7.5

    how do I add custom ringtones on new iPhone 5, using iTunes 11.04 and Mac OS 10.7.5?

    Are you meaning rintones that you create from existing files?
    If so - then Google and you will get lots of hits on 'how to'.
    Once you have the ringtones in your iTunes library then make sure in iTunes prefs>General tab - the Tones option is selected. Once your device shows in the Devices list make sure you select from the Tones tab in the Devices window the tones you want to d/l.

  • Help! Custom Ring tones

    Hi there wonder if anybody can help me!
    Trying to set custom ringtones for individuals on my contact list.
    Firstly going to Address book and selecting the contact I want to custom ring tone. Then pressing the menu button and selecting the Add custom ringtone option. But this does not give me an option of selecting a ring tone from my media card. The only option I get is pre loaded ringtones which I do not want to use....

    Check the link below:

    there is instruction how to setup your desktop pc and blackberry device to recognize media-sd card installed on your blackberry as an external flash-drive on desktop computer.
    After your device with media card inside recognized as flash drive transfer mp3 files to Blackberry/ringtones folder of that external flash drive.
    And after that these mp3 files will be available to set'em as custom ringtones in Address Book.

    Hi San,
    Just to add a note to the great tips from Ingo and Bethany (+5 points each folks for your nice work here :)
    Here we go :)
    PCM File Requirements for Custom Ring Types
    The PCM files for the rings must meet the following requirements for proper playback on Cisco Unified IP Phones:
    •Raw PCM (no header)
    •8000 samples per second
    •8 bits per sample
    •uLaw compression
    •Maximum ring size-16080 samples
    •Minimum ring size-240 samples
    •Number of samples in the ring is evenly divisible by 240.
    •Ring starts and ends at the zero crossing.
    •To create PCM files for custom phone rings, you can use any standard audio editing packages that support these file format requirements.
    Configuring a Custom Phone Ring
    To create custom phone rings for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G, follow these steps:
    Procedure
    Step 1 Create a PCM file for each custom ring (one ring per file). Ensure the PCM files comply with the format guidelines that are listed in the "PCM File Requirements for Custom Ring Types" section.
    Step 2 Upload the new PCM files that you created to the Cisco TFTP server for each Cisco Unified Communications Manager in your cluster. For more information, see the "Software Upgrades" chapter in Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide.
    Step 3 Use a text editor to edit the Ringlist.xml file. See the "Ringlist.xml File Format Requirements" section for information about how to format this file and for a sample Ringlist.xml file.
    Step 4 Save your modifications and close the Ringlist.xml file.
    Step 5 To cache the new Ringlist.xml file, stop and start the TFTP service by using Cisco Unified Serviceability or disable and re-enable the "Enable Caching of Constant and Bin Files at Startup" TFTP service parameter (located in the Advanced Service Parameters).
