Can ringtones be used as text tones

I was just wondering if my ring tones i have bought and made can be used as a text tone and how i could do that

Yes, they can. You just need to transfer them to your iPhone by iTunes and then go to Settings > Sounds > SMS/MMS. They are all there. You just need to choose the one you'd like to use.
PS. I use a polish version of iOS so I don't know how all the options are called in the english version. But I believe it has to be 'Sounds' & 'SMS/MMS'. If I am wrong then I'm sorry but I believe you will understand what to do

Shorten ringtones for use as text tones

I recently purchased a ringtone that I would very much like to use as a text tone... the problem is, the short little sound I would like to use as a text tone repeats four times, which I find to be a little excessive. I'm on a very basic LG Cosmos without even a touch screen - is there any way I can shorten this tone or am I SOL?

Well if it was a Smartphone you could use a App called Ringdroid but with this be a Basic Device i'd say the Ringtone you chose you pretty much have to go with the way it Rings. I know even on my Razr Maxx some of the ringtones i have Chose have a More than once Repeating tone.. Hope that helps some.. B33

Is it possible (without jailbreaking) to make and USE custom Text tones?

Anyone?? I figured out custom ringtones with itunes etc (is it me or is itunes on a windows system complicated? lol..probably me....) but can you create and add your own text tones...and also can you have different tones for text, voicemail etc?
I am new to iPhone (had ipod touches which is very similar) prior to this just had a regular verizon envy touch phone...
Responses appreciated y'all

It is possible, I have custom ringtones on mine without jailbreaking using Windows 7 iTunes. Here is how to do it:
1. Using iTunes, select which song you want to create a ringtone from.
2. Right click the song, select Get Info, and go to the Options tab.
3. Choose a start time for where you want your ringtone to start. Add 30 seconds to that number, and input it into the stop time (to make a 30 second ringtone). Select OK.
4. Create an AAC version by either a) right clicking the song or b) selecting from the Advanced menu at the top of iTunes.
5. After creating the AAC version, you should be able to see it in iTunes. Right click the song, and select Show in Windows Explorer.
6. In Windows Explorer, right click the song and hit rename. The file will look something like "Ringtone.m4a"
7. Change the name to "Ringtone.m4r" (Note: if you don't see the .m4a extension or can't rename it, there is an option in Windows to allow you to rename file extensions)
8. After renaming, drag the song to your iTunes, and iTunes will automatically create a "Ringtones" folder, and will sync to your phone.
Enjoy!
(Don't forget to change back the start/stop times in your original song)

Can you get any more text tones for your iPhone 4?

I have had my iPhone for a while now but I am getting bored of the text tones and want something new and interesting. But I can only download ringtones.
can anyone help?
thanks

No. This will likely change with iOS 5, so hang in there.

Why can't I use iBooks Text Books across devices?

iBooks 2 is incredible with its introduction of Text Books, as is the ability for anyone with a Mac to start developing texts via iBooks Author. This has revolutionary potential written all over it.
BUT, just one thing Apple:
Why in the last year have you pushed so hard to integrate/sync devices via the Cloud, only to introduce a phenomenal tool like the Text Books which can only be used on one device, the iPad, and almost blatantly makes no intention to talk to other devices?
I have invested in the whole Apple product line. I am invested in the ecosystem entirely. Why can I not start reading/note taking from my Biology Text in class on my iPad, continue skimming it from where I left off on my iPhone while going home on the train, and finally pull up the Text Book in iBooks on my Macbook (complete with my notes from the day) where I ultimately want to cut and paste my noted text to be used as quotes in a term paper I am composing in Pages (and what if Pages even talked to iBooks and auto formatted a Bibliography based on the text I have dragged and dropped)? As a student this scenario is not only very forseeable, but neccessary if I am to go over to a digital book format.
Why is this not possible? Should I honestly believe it is the result of poor planning, or rather a strategy to boost iPad sales by making Text Books explicit to the iPad?
After all, in a parallel analogy to the above, Apple ecosystem users can currently: start a film on their iPad, pick up where they left off on their iPhone, and then ultimately finish the film on their Mac or Apple TV. I can even start a normal book on my iPad and leave a bookmark, which I can later pick up on my iPhone. This is awesome and exemplifies the consideration and rigorous thought that I have grown to expect Apple to put in to their products. The devices talk to each other and "it just works." But is apple really allowing all of this, except when it comes to TEXTBOOKS, which is an educational tool?
If the digital Text Books are really going to do so much to revolutionize education, then shouldn't Text Books be available across ALL devices and to all people who ALREADY own iOS/OSX devices in order to reach its maximum potential for influencing a change in education? If these tools are really so revolutionary and represent a paradigm shift, then they will speak for themselves and schools will naturally get on board and dole out the money for the class sets of iPads.
Please Apple, I switched over for a reason. Mostly due to your philosophies and ability to make things that "just work". Don't sell out here. Not allowing Text Books to be accessed across devices does not have the markings of a "paradigm shift in the dark ages of education", but instead reeks of a slick marketing scam by the most successful company in the world to pump tax money out of education budgets into the overflowing pockets of Apple. Shame on you. That is not giving to education, that is taking.
Make good and develop TextBooks to work across ALL iOS/OSX devices, please.
Respectfully,
A teacher/student

My understanding is that you can use the Cloud on any device you want but only one at a time. Just as you can install the Creative Collections on as many computers as you wish but it can only be activated on two at a time but which is not really true since you can only use one of them at a time anyway.
I think the wording about this should change.
For insance I travel and may or may not wish to lug a laptop with me. It is my understanding that I can when raveling log into the CC download m apps and use them on any computer capable of running the apps and work away, But since I am logged in at a different location on a different device it will only work on that device.
And this is the way it shoulkd work because say you travel and your laptop is lost or stolen then you should be able to still use your apps and also stop them from working on the lost computer by logging in somewhere else.
This is the way Iunderstand the advantages of the Cloud. It is designed to be flexible and not inhibiting.
Now on the other had if I ahsd an assistant that I want to use these apps then it makes sense to purchase a license for them as well.
It is one license for one user as it should be but that user can access it where ever they need it.
That is my understanding.

How can I hear the unique text tones assigned to my contacts in iMessage?

I have unique text and ring tones assigned to my contacts in iOS. I've begun to use Yosemite for texting and calling and would like to have the same tones for my contacts alert me from my Macbook Pro.

Hi,
iChat (the app before it became Messages) and Messages used to do this up until Mavericks and the "real" Messages 8.
Messages 8 in Mavericks did away with the ability to change or set individual Sounds as the Alerts Pane in the preferences went west (was removed).
It was replaced by a setting in the General Section that can only change the Messages Received sound.
There are now Alert and Ringtones stored in a ToneLibrary.framework in the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
These are also caf files as opposed to the Aiff files that were used before.
there is no linking for the System Sounds (Alerts in System Preferences > Sound > Sound effects tab) or the User's own ~/Library/Sounds.
This and the loss of the Format Menu and the Messages Pane in the Preferences to set Font and Styles and colours for Non iMessages accounts is sorely missed by many people.

How can I get back my text tone?

After updating to 7.0.2, my 4S no longer makes a sound when text comes through. I checked all settings and even changed the tones a couple times. This phone was perfect before the update! Annoying, to say the least. I have to keep checking to assure I don't miss anything critical. Occasionally, the same thing happens with calls! At least they do go to voicemail.

Are you on iOS 7? Because if so I too had the same problem. What I did was go into my messages and I went to create a new message. Then in the field that says "To", type the person/contacts name and then go into the message box. After that all of your deleted messages should reappear.

Can XML be used in text controls?

I'd like to use an external XML file to populate the text in a bunch of TextAreas (and other text controls). I notice there is no "dataProvider" property for texf controls. What might be a good approach?
Thanks.

Repeaters if you are using flex 3 or DataGroups if flex 4.

Which consumes iPhone 5's battery faster? Using text tone or not but using the flash led notication alert?

Which consumes iPhone 5's battery faster? Using:
1. text tone
2. no text tone but using the flash led notication alert
Please reply.

Sounds to me that there is a process stuck and that is what is causing your battery issues. You say that you have restored to factory settings twice in the last 6 weeks. Were those restores from a backup, or a restore as new? If you restored to a backup and the issues are still there, then there is something wrong in your backup. Try restoring the device as new and not add anything to it right away and see if that improves the battery life.
I have a 5S with a push account for work and am dealing with email constantly during the day. I use my phone for upwards of 16-18 hours of the day, including web browsing, iMessages and phone calls. My battery is usually around 65-70 percent at the end of the day, which is only about 2-3% per hour of usage.
The echo deal is a carrier issue, and can depend on towers. I've seen it in the past, but it generally doesn't last long and corrects itself. The voicemail password might require you to contact AT&T to get them to reset your password. If you updated the software on the phone, it can sometimes require that reset. Are you still receiving your voicemail?
The Yahoo thing is Yahoo. I'm certainly glad I don't use if for all the stuff I've read.

Cannot use ring tones for text tones anymore

I have been told that I can no longer use my ring tones that I have purchased as text tones, which irritates me because that is the main reason I purchased them. But it is true, if you put them with a contact and they text you, you hear nothing. Is there any way to fix that.
Question # 2 Why are my text tones now a lot softer than they used to be. I can't hear them most of the time, so when I look at my phone I have tons of texts and I didn't even know it. I keep it right next to me also, so it is not like it is in another room. That is one reason I liked the music tones for the texts because I knew it was different and could hear. Now they are all little delicate tones that nobody can hear and I can't figure a way to turn them up. The phone is turned up all the way. Plus they said now I have to purchase alert tones to use for my texts and I looked and the selection *****. Mostly dispicable me and stuff like that. I am a 56 year oldl woman and I don't want star wars, and that sort of stuff on my phone. Help please if you can. Please let me know as I do not check the communities often. I usually get lost.
Thank you

Sorry, this is not a function of iphone.
You cannot customize the text or e-mail ringer.

Why can't I use the original texts?

I'm not quite sure why, but as im editing my new videos, the new text options are only available. I can no longer use the text that was provided in the older version of iMovie. Can someone please tell me why???

Website address?
If Flash is required to use the app on the website, Flash is not supported with iOS devices and Adobe recently announced they will no longer be supporting Flash with any mobile device.

All text tones are available in General-Sounds. Some are missing via Contacts-Edit Contact.

I have confirmed that this issue is also present in the iPhones in the Apple store as of 28-April-2014. I told one of the guys in the Apple store about it and he said that the iPhones in the store have a custom version, so I asked him to check his own iPhone. He did, and the issue is present on his phone, so it's definintely a general IOS7 iPhone issue.
If you go to General -> Sounds -> Text Tone -> Classic, you can see all the classic text tones.
If you go to Contacts, select a contact, select Edit -> Text Tone -> select Classic, some are missing.
I used Choo Choo for one of my contacts while I was on IOS6 and when I switched to a new phone with IOS7 and performed a restore, their text tone changed to Tri-tone. I tried to change it back and saw it was not availble, so I figured they had taken it out of IOS7. Then I heard a friend's iPhone 5 on IOS 7 who had Choo Choo set up as their default. I investigated and saw that more Classic text tones were available via General.
Is there some logical reason why some text tones are not available for Contacts?

Do you maybe have your contacts separated into groups? If so, perhaps you have unchecked the group that the missing contact are in.
In the Contacts app, click the Groups button in the upper left corner. Make sure all groups have a check mark next to them.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Text tone notification

I can't hear my text notifications come through on my phone when it's unlocked. When my screen is locked I can hear and see the text tone but if I'm playing a game on my phone or browsing the Internet or even if my screen is just open sitting there I can't hear my texts come. They don't even pop up at the top of the screen for notification or vibrate or anything. The only way I can tell if a text comes through is if I look at my message and see the red bubble with the number, or of my screen is locked. When something like this happens i can usually fix it myself but I checked every part of my settings and made sure all sounds were on and I still have the same problem. I have an iPhone 5 if that helps iOS 6.1.4. Can anyone help me with this?

Are you sure she's only hitting the space bar once? Ask her to type slowly and see if she gets the same result. If she does, try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I want to know if the blackberry can still be used without the service

hi guys,
I want to know if I can still use the Blackberry on its own without the Blackberry service such as email, Internet etc? And also can I still use the texts and calling on a Blackberry without the service?

In addition to what bewaarse said, you will not be able to use MMS either (they require data).
