Can I assign specific ring tones to certain contacts?

I would like to be able to assign specific ring tones to certain contacts; how do I do this (assuming it can be done)?

My phone has not arrived yet, but I would think you could solve this by doing these things.
Now lets just assume that you have ringtones A - Z
Set the phone to ring all the time with ring A
Then go into your contacts and set each person you know with ringtone B - Z (but you have to do this for each contact IN your phone) and you can't use A because you only want it to ring with that tone when someone you don't know is calling, right?
Then, when your phone rings with a private caller or from some # that is NOT in your contact list, it will ring A because you have assigned all other contacts either B - Z. The only difference would be that if "Joe" was calling from his office and the line out was different than the # you have in his contact, it would also ring tone A.
Of course, if you could download tones, it would be easier, but for now you can't. So, this is the only thing that would possibly work for now.
Did any of that make sense?

How to assign a ring tone to a n97 mini on your co...

dear everyone
i am having problems assigning a ring tone to my wifes contact can anyone help?

Hi clarkpostie,
if you select your wife's contact, select options and edit. scroll down and you should see a detail named 'ringing tone'. Select this and it should then display the folders you have music in. From here pick the folder and tune you would like to associate with your wife and select 'done'.
Hope this helps.

I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5.

I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5. I see them in my tones folder, I've checked the "sync all" option and I've tried checking the individual tones and then sync. Each time iTunes says it has synced but the ring tones are not in the iPod.

Me too it has been all week and driving me crazy--- I've done everything I've seen on these websites to no avail--- does apple monitor these posts and offer any help????????

How can I transmit the ring tones I created on my phone? i tried to synchronise several times, everything ok, but not the ring tones.

how can i synchronise the ring tones I created on my iphone 4 (ios 5)? i tried to synchronise several times, but it doesn't work. everything ok, with the exception of the ringtones.

Tones is the new name for Ringtones. Enable from Edit > Preferences > General tab and sync to your iOS device from the Tones tab when the device is connected.

Can I keep my ring tones when upgrading to iPhone 6?

Can I keep the ring tones I have purchased when upgrading to iPhone 6? If so how do I do that?

I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

You would have to create the ringtone. Google will find several ways to do this.
You can only buy ready made ringtones from the ringtones asections of the itunes store on your iphone.

I have Deleted I Cloud and now I can not find my ring tones that I had purchased!

- If they are not in iTunes match in the Cloud or on your computer then they are likely gon.
- Just what did you do? You have to turn on/subscribe to Match on your computer and then it will "match" the music in your iTunes library and uploasd any that are not in the Apple's iCloud library
- As Apple stated,
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
If further questions I would post in the Match forum

Now I can't figure out how to assign the new tones to my contacts

I used the option "buy more" under ringtones on my iphone 5S. Now I can't figure out how to assign the new tones to my contacts. Help please!

Hello p618cg,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s! You can follow these steps to assign a ringtone to a contact:
Set a special ringtone for a contact.
In Contacts, choose a contact, tap Edit, then tap Ringtone. Select the ringtone you'd like to hear when that person calls.

You need to make your own ringtones in iTunes then sync them to your phone. Follow the directions here:

Attaching Ring Tone to a contact

I am trying to attach a specific ring tone to a specific contact. Every time I do it a few minutes later the ringtone goes back to "Default" and the ringtone I set is no longer set. I do save before I leave that screen.
Need help thanks.

If it is an android port, he will need to delete it since the security permission are no editable for the android port

6220 Classic - ring tones for individual contacts ...

My partner and i both got the 6220 classic at the same time.
On his phone he can select a contact, then options and scroll down to ringing tone and have a different ring tone for each contact or group. When I do exactly the same, it says under the contact name that their ring tone has been changed, but it still plays the standard tone. Despite saying that each contacts ring tone is different, it just plays the same one for each.
Is there a setting somewhere which we've missed? Can't understand why it works fine on one phone but not on the other.

Nope, not currently... but hopefully that change is coming in an update.

I've had a look @ the 6131's manual here :
http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_6131_UG_en.pdf
and it doesn't specifically say that you can choose customised rings tones for specific people (as you can with some phones), but you CAN assign it for groups as shown on page 59.
If the option to assign tones to individual people IS available and is undocumented then you'll find it in one of two places :
1) As an attribute of a contact - so that's to say if you edit a contact's detail, and the option to assign a custom ringtone is present, then you can add a detail which will be the ringtone which you want to assign.
2) This is how a N95 works - although your phone will be different - If you select (as in go into not just highlight) a particular contact, press Options, one of the items in the list will be "Ringing Tone" - you can assign it from there (if available)
Hope this helps (and makes sense !)Message Edited by edwardquan on 05-Jul-200709:23 PM

Just bought iTunes song and can't make a ring tone..??..

I just bought a .99 cent iTunes song and when I right click on the song in iTunes it tells me that "This song cannot be made into a ringtone" "This ensemble can no longer be made into a ringtone"
Anyone know or had this problem before? I only bought this song for a ringtone and now I can't use it.

You can make a ring-tone using Garageband out of your own music library. It's very simple. See the link I posted. Of course you need to have Garageband to do this.
