Droid 4 (ring tones)

Not sure where to put this since there really isn't a space for it yet.
I'm trying to use my music that I have on my sd card. I'm trying to use each song for each individual contact. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Two ways to do this. The simplest would be to go to the song in your music player and long press it. This will bring up a pop-up menu with set as ringtone as one of the options. What I usually do, however, is to create a folder on my SD card labelled media, containing folders labelled ringtones, notifications, and alarms (also wallpapers if I have any). The music files you place in these folders will show up in the regular ringtone picker for the appropriate type. You can then go to the contact and change the ringtone there. This can be done by pressing menu while viewing the contact, or by editing the contact (each phone is slightly different). I personally do it this way because I don't use regular music for ringtones (hate it when a song comes on while I am listening to music and I think someone is calling) and this will keep ringtones out of your music playlist.

How do I get a downloaded ring tone to work Droid MAx with KitKAt?

I downloaded a ring tone but since it is on the SD card I cannot do anything with it except play it in a music player. It is not available as a ring tone and I cannot move it to the ring tone folder. Any ideas?

jcrummie1,
Ringtones are a great way to personalize your device and we are here to help make sure we get it set up immediately.
What happens if you go to the ringtone in the music player and press and hold down on the ringtone? Do you see an option to set as? If so, select that option and select to set it as a ringtone/notification. Let us know if this helps? Was the ringtone originally purchased online or over the phone?

How do I set a ring tone sent to me via text as my ring tone?

Just got a new Droid Razor Maxx, I have a ring tone that was sent to me via text, how do I set it as my incoming ring tone?

From Motorola's support site:
To use a custom ringtone for text messages, follow the steps below:
Create a folder on the microSD card and name it "notifications" - small caps. Use an SD card reader or using your phone as a USB storage device to do this from your PC.
Copy any compatible audio file you want to set as a message notification to that folder.
Insert the SD card back into your phone or set your phone back to None to access your SD card (Either internal or external if available).
Go to messaging and press the menu key.
Tap Messaging Settings.
Tap Text Messaging.
Tap Select ringtone. You should be able to locate your audio files there and set them.

Lost all my ring tones....h-e-l-p!!

I was in my local VZN store yesterday as my Droid was having an issue over the past 3-4 days, not being able to open the screen and having to take the battery out approx. 6-8 times before it'd clear itself. The technician said they'd been having some problems similar to this and he had to do something like a reboot but by doing it I lost a lot of stuff...all my apps, all my ring tones. This is about the 3rd or 4th time I've had to "re-buy" my ringtones as they don't get saved. He then told me that when/if I went into the web site I could see all of my purchases, etc. I did that and my ring tones are there but I could not find out how to re-download them onto my phone...He did also tell me that the only ones I would be able to get "for free" (big joke as I had already PAID for them) were the ones that were 3 months old or newer..!! How can that be??? Like I said, this is about the 3rd or 4th time I've had to re-buy all my ring tones....! Can someone please assist me into getting them back? I am also experiencing a "no sound" when I get an e-mail or facebook posting but assume that's because I have no ring tones....Don't suggest that there are many many "free" ringtone apps because I checked a lot of them out as did the tech yesterday and free is not all that great if they don't have the music you are looking for!! He couldn't find 3 of my ringtones tha tI had paid for so free is not so great.
Any help would be appreciated in getting my ringtones downloaded once again...it's been a long long process trying to put this phone back to where it was 24 hours ago....yikes!!!

I can imagine how frustrating this must be. You will have to re-download your previously purchased items. I would recommend you contact our Customer Care Department to see if an adjustment can be made for the downloads. HTH!
Check to see if your email notifications are set. The steps are below. I would recommend you do these steps after you have downloaded your ringtones.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located on the bottom of the screen).
Touch Email.
Touch Menu.
Touch Account settings.
Touch Email notifications.
Email notifications are enabled if a green check mark is present.
Touch Select ringtone.
Touch the desired ringtone then touch OK.
To disable ringtone, ensure Silent is selected.
Touch Vibrate.
Vibrate is enabled if a green check mark is present.

How do I get a revelree ring tone?

I have a droid X. I have a ring tone in a email on my computer. How do I move it to my phone?
waynesworld

You may want to delete your phone number from the device description, it is there for the world to see.
As for the ringtone, you could email it, or connect the device to your PC and transfer the file over, or pull the SD card, insert it in the adapter and place in your PC to transfer the file to the card.

Individual Ring Tones for Texts from Specific Contacts

One of the features I liked best about my BlackBerry was the ability to assign a individual ring tone to specific contacts for when they texted me. Does the DROID Incredible 2 by HTC have the same ability? It is a feature that I really miss.
Thank you.

No it doesn't have that option with the stock SMS application. A third party app from the market will such as Handscent or Go SMS for example.

I purchased Ring Tones - they do not show up on my phone

Turns out all Ernestine Anderson songs are ring tonable. So I bought one, then a ring tone for 1.98...A bell folder appeared, a "ringtone" tab appeared WITH the ring tone I created. I hit apply so I can sync the ringtone into the iPhone, the iPhone says "sync in Progress" then the sync stops with no error messages. I look at my ringtone list in my iPhone....and its not there. The same goofy ring tones it came with.
I have the current iPhone version - 1.0.2
I have the current iTunes version - 7.4.1.2
I am however losing faith in apple products and this is my first apple product.
What is wrong? - I had to authorize it - problem solved (dunno why I had to in the first place but..)

iTunes for some reason un-authorized it so I had to authorize it and it worked.

How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4?

How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4? I followed the Garage Band process and ended up with the ring tone I want as a AAC audio file. It got stored in my iTunes a a song rather than a ring tone. How do I make it a ring tone vs. a song? I tried dragging it t the Ring Tone category at the bottom of the ITunes list, but it won't alloow me to move it?

There's also an easy to use Applescript over at Doug's Applescripts for iTunes. It automates the whole thing. All you do is set the start and stop time on a file in iTuens and run the script. It will do everything else.

I can no longer sync music, books and ring tones

I recently updated my iTunes, and something has changed. I can sync music and audio books - but it erases my ring tones. I noticed this, and attempted to sync my ring tones -- only to lose all of my music and audio books. I have the "manually manage music and videos" box checked (though the check keeps disappearing). This is so frustrating! Anyone know what's going on?

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!

I have purchased actual ring tones, not songs or MP3s, RING TONES. They used to be on my Iphone but when I got a new laptop and downloaded new ITunes, they are showing up in Itunes in RINGTONES, but will not transfer to my iphone. They are checked. Help?

I have purchased actual ringtones from the ITunes store. They were working fine on my Iphone 3 before, but I got a new laptop and the new version of ITunes, and now even though they are listed as ring tones on my ITunes, they will not transfer to my Iphone. (Please do not tell me they are songs and not ring tones, they are definitely RING TONES!) Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

Sorry. Your info is gone.
You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly. You should have set up syncing from day one.
As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
Very sorry.

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.

How can I use an itune I purchased for my ring tone

Is it possible to use a purchased itune on my iphone as a ringtone?

I find the easiest way is to drag and drop the track into Garage Band, crop it to where you want it (make sure you have the cropped track drug all the way to the left, it counts the empty space as time and it can't exceed 60 seconds I think) and then export it as a Ring Tone to iTunes.
There was a way to export it out of iTunes and back in, but Apple crippled that :-(

How can i set up different rings/tones for incoming emails for different email accounts?

HI, I would like to be able to hear different rings/tones for emails coming from different email accounts. Eg, One sound for incoming email from gmail and another sound for incoming e-mail from Yahoo.
Thanks!

" Is there a possibility to set up different ringtones for each of the emails separately? "
No. Maybe with ios 6 this fall.
"Also would there also be an option for high priority emails to have a different ringtone as well?"
No. Maybe with ios 6 this fall.
