Alert tone variety

Is there a way to set separate alert tones to differentiate between email/text and mere app notifications.......?

Only ringtones can be changed.
SMS (text) can be changed to built in options.

Iphone 4 Alerts Tones Not Working / Ringer Is WORKING KINDLY REPLY ME

HI , PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT I AM GETTING PLEASE HELP
MY ISSUE IS IPHONE 4 ALERTS TONES NOT WORKING AND CALL RINGER IS WORKING.. PLEASE HELP ME!

If the iPhone came from the US then it is locked to AT&T. To unlock an iPhone the original carrier is the only one who can unlock the iPhone and AT&T will not unlock iPhones. So there is not official way to unlock the iPhone 4.
At this point there is no way to hack the iPhone 4 running 4.2.1 to unlock it either so the phone and messaging apps will never work. You basically have an iPod touch.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

HT1848 I purchased alert tones in itunes and updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchased those items, it says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone?

I purchased many alert tones in itunes and then updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchase those items, itunes says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone without having to repurchase???? This is so frustrating! Please Help!

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app?

Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app? The one they use from the factory is terrible! I tried it out and could hardly hear it from 5 feet away!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, so far as I am aware you cannot change this tone. I must admit I don't fully understand your problem, I've tried it myself and can hear it from some distance away.

When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone. This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working, help!

I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

My iphone 4's text, keypad and alert tones are no longer working, also Ipod no longer plays without headphones plugged in. Please help!!

Since about a month now my iphone 4 text/alert tones, Keypad and lock tones and also the music are no longer working. It is not onTone 'None'. When someone calls me it rings no problem but no other sunds seem to work. It only vibrates.
If I go onto itunes from my phone it also doesnt play the clips of music. Has anyone else had this? I have reset, restored, updated and nothing has worked or helped.

No the mute button isnt on as it still rings for calls.
Mine is since that update aswell, I have been blaming that but just wasnt 100% sure. There was an update this week but hasnt sorted it. Im a 4hr drive from nearest apple store so really trying to avoid having to send it away/go to a store with it.

Where did my purchased Alert Tones go?

All of a sudden when I get a text its the default sound, I went to settings>sounds>text tone and both of my purchased tones are gone. It is quite fustrating that stuff dissapear like this, same thing happened with my contacts a while back. I tried syncing the alert tones onto my phone again still does not show up. I'm getting annoyed, Does anyone know how to fix this?

I contacted technical support and this was their reply:

How do I use a voice memo as a ring tone or an alert tone?

How do I use a voice memo as a ring tone or an alert tone?

Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
Hope this helps.

Volume on alert tones 6500 slide

Hi I've recently changed from a 6300 to 6500 slide and overall I'm really pleased with it. However, the volume for the message alert tones is really loud. On the 6500 it the volume is really loud and it had the added benefit of flashing. The software on the 6500 is V04.84. Anybody any idea how I can increase the message alert volume. I have the ringtone volume set at maximum and this is great.

Somewhat embarrasing, but I figure post this so others can use it - have figured it out... open the gallery of alert tones and start playing them, then use the volume adjustment keys on the side of the phone to increase their volume while they are playing. This will then affect the volume they play at when actually selected as the alert tone.

Wish List - Alert tones

Based on my searches, since I'm new to the iPhone, I have found that for a few years now improved sound notifications has been a requested improvement for the iPhone. It seems that this much needed improvement has fallen on deaf ears. I hope that Apple understands the importance of this improvement. Listed here is my wish list, hopefully if enough users respond, Apple developers will address this issue.
Customizable alert tones for the following apps/features
† Email - Each domain / address must have the ability to set a unique tone
Facebook
Twitter
SMS - Beyond the pre-loaded standard tones
Calendars
Alarms
† An absolute must. The others are not as critical, but email tone alerts must be customizable.

Why mp3 songs can't make it as alert tones for tex...

Hey Nokia, why is your lumia phones can't put mp3 songs as alert tones for text messages? This is a big problem on your lumia phones because we missed a lot of text messages because your built in alert tones is not enough to catch our attention when we have a incoming text messages especially in a noisy environment. All the other brands of smartphones including the dumbphones are capable of having mp3 songs as alert tones for text messeges. Please do something about this.
