Custom righ tones

i know there's a way of customizing your ringtones via itunes or third party software, but is there a way of putting a customized ringtone in the iphone without having to buy a third party software? my previous phones such as treo, t-mobile dash, nokia n95, i was able to record various tones and used them as my ring tones. i was wondering if it could be done on the iphone.
thanks!

If you are using a Mac you can use GarageBand to make ringtones from iTunes music that is not DRM'd. Just drag the song you want into GarageBand from iTunes, click the loop button on the bottom of the screen, select the portion of the song you want, then click share->send ringtone to iTunes.
Voila, custom free ringtone.
If you are using a Windows PC, you can rename 20 second clips of songs in unprotected AAC format to have a .m4r extension and import them into iTunes and they will be added to your ringtones library.

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!

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.

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.

How do I add a custom text tone?

I just recently learned how to add a custom ringtone to my phone and thought I'd use the same process to make a custom text tone. Even though BOTH files show up in my ringtones section of iTunes, I can't choose one of them for a custom text tone. Anyone know how I can make a custom text tone or move one of them so that it appears in the list of tones for texts? I should mention they are both .m4r files

You wait for iOS 5 to be released in the fall.
You can't do it in iOS 4.x or 3.x

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.

Custom ring tones in ios 5

Can't sync custom ring tones in ios 5. Pls help

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.)

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:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=BlackBerryDesktopSoftware&message.id=...
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.

Does anybody have an issue with not hearing custom text tones on their Iphone 5?

I am having a problem not hearing any custom text tones on my Iphone 5 even though it is not on silent mode. It's very upsetting cuz friends will text me when I'm at work at my phone is in my pocket but I don't know until I look at my screen. Never had this issue with my old Iphone 4 plus my WiFi seems to kind of suck to with reception.

I have the same problem! I have been on the phone and emailing apple support for several days and still not working. They credited back my purchased text tones. I even repurchased a couple text tones and they work for a couple hours then it stops working. If I click on sounds under settings and try to just listen to the tone, all It does is vibrate

Since there's no custom ringback tones...

I know people keep asking for custom ringback tones and you won't do it, but I would love if you a.) get the rights to use the song "Before my body is dry" from Kill la Kill as a ringback tone. like just start the ring back tone from the part where it's like "don't lose your way" or b.) have people pay something to be allowed to use custom ringback tones but PLEASE I NEED this ring back tone. Honestly I'd pay anything (reasonable) just to use this as my ringback tone.

Verizon adds an announcement that says something like "Please enjoy the music while your party is reached" and then it plays the ringback.
Since you,as the phone owner, never hear the ringback, but everyone who calls you hears it, I'd want to make sure its a song that everyone enjoys. That's nearly impossible, and I can't see paying money to force all my callers to listen t MY choice of music. But that's just me.... and to the OP, The1337Brony, all you can do is request that Verizon add the clip to their library of tunes available for ringbacks.

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:
â¢Raw PCM (no header)
â¢8000 samples per second
â¢8 bits per sample
â¢uLaw compression
â¢Maximum ring size-16080 samples
â¢Minimum ring size-240 samples
â¢Number of samples in the ring is evenly divisible by 240.
â¢Ring starts and ends at the zero crossing.
â¢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).

PS: Interesting tunes from your link Bethany, I'd love to hear "Scar Tissue" as a ringtone, pretty cool :)

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)

Upgrade to OS 6.0 wiped out pictures and custom ring tones

Anyone else have these issues? Sure would have been nice to know that would happen, but of course no mention was made in any of the propoganda RIM released. I'm not happy at all with the look and feel and want my pics and custome ring/text tones back! And, this was supposed to be an upgrade? Howcome they took away all the different options for ringers that were built into the phone?

Hi,
Make sure if any of the field in the structure is_vekp is populated...
Do one thing. write a small program..declare the same structure as of IS_VEKP.
Don't populate anything...
And then add the check statement as in the sap program...
find out what's happening in the debugging..
Thanks
