  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • Is there additional ring tones? or How to make custom ring tones?

    Hi,
    I am thinking about adding additional ring tones.
    Is there any site I can download the ringtones for cisco 7940, 7960, 7940G, 7960G?
    or
    Can I make custom ring tones by myself?
    If there is an application to do the ring tones, pls anyone let me know?
    thanks

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • SuperDrive Spits dvd's off the desk

    I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem but I'm sure others have ... I work in a apple retail store and I have had 3 other computers have this same issue .. and there all have been the first version of the Imac G5's. it seems that they have an over active drive eject problem or something. Mine seems to spit the disks out and they bounce once off the desk and then on to the floor. Now it may not be a huge deal .. but when you spend over 2 grand on a computer you expect this things to function properly.
    So for the first 3 weeks I had my computer it worked fine .. then it started to act up like this.. I called apple and they took me threw the hoops and I resetting the PRAM and the NVRAM and trying to eject from open firmware mode .. I even went into yellow dog and tried to un mount from there and still it spits the disc off the desk. So they sent me out a new superdrive, after installing the drive everything seemed to be just fine and my computer was back in action.. but once again 2 weeks later this time it happened again... I called apple and jumped threw the hoops again but with no luck yet again.. now they say they i have no idea what the problem would be.
    I contacted my local AASP which happens to be another store under the chain i work for and they have no idea what it might be either other than to replace the midplane...has anyone else here come across this problem
    any help would be welcome
    Thanks in advance

    I have been experiencing the same problem with my iMac G5. I've had the computer since April and only began experiencing the bouncing disk problem in the past week or so. The normally quiet superdrive was getting louder and it started spitting all disks anywhere from a few inches to well over a foot out of the drive.
    I took it to my local Apple Store (where I bought it) and after leaving it for a couple of days, they replaced the drive. Assuring me that they tested it, I took it home yesterday.
    Well, the new drive (which is quiet) is still spitting them out as before and is making the disks unusually hot as well. A call back to the Apple Store was useless and they told me to call Apple Care.
    The Apple Care rep spent well over an hour with me on the phone only to tell me that he didn't know what it was. He said this was a new problem for him and suggested that I take it back to the Apple Store and have them replace the logic board and power supply (even though they both tested well with him). He didn't commit to whether this would actually solve the problem.
    I have two iBooks and an iMac G3 which have been flawless, so I've been a satisfied Apple user for years and don't know whether his suggestion makes sense. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Custom ring tones on iPhone 5 and iTunes 11

    Recently purchased the iphone 5 and  have been trying to add my own ring tones from iTunes 11 (generated from either one of 2 apps I downloaded or my using my original song and making a copy then selecting a 30 sec. portion) but it will not sync several because iTunes says it can't find the origial song even though "Locate" the song on my computer.  I have added all of my music to my iTunes library so it should see all of my songs, but does not.

    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.)

  • 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

  • I purchased and downloaded to ring tones from an outside source (no the App store).  How do I get these into my Sounds in Settings so I can use them?

    I purchased and downloaded two ring tones from an outside source (not through the App Store).  How do I get these loaded into the Sounds on my Settings so I can use them?

    Some apps that you download on your iPhone may possibly be to new for the iPod touch 2nd gen. I have a iPhone 5 and a iPod touch 2nd generation myself. If you plug his ipod into iTunes and restore it from a backup of your iPhone than it will download the paid apps and music that are compatible with his ipod. Hope this helps.

  • When I am using my blue tooth when my phone rings I have to take it off the phone and connect to the blue tooth. i want it to go to my blue tooth automaticly

    This is my first time using this chat if I get it wrong count it to my head and not my heart.
    When I am using my blue tooth, when my phone rings I have to physically take it off the phone and push it to my blue tooth. How can i get it to do it automatically?

    Answer the call using the bluetooth device instead of swiping to answer on the phone. If you swipe to answer on the phone, it assumes you intend to use the phone instead of the bluetooth headset.

  • I purchased movies on my ipad and then when I synced to my computer they ended up in itunes but are now off the the ipad.  How do I get them back onto the ipad.  Thx!

    I purchased tv shows and ibooks on my ipad and then when I synced with my computer they all ended up on my computer in itunes.  They aren't on my ipad anymore.  How do I put some of them back on my ipad.  Also, I tried to make another purchase on my ipad but it said I didn't have enough room.  I just updated my software and before I synced I had a bunch of shows on the pad.  I don't understand why it's saying I don't have room especially since it took all my shows off.  Thanks!!!

    If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app.  Look there and see if they are still there.
    If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows.  If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
    If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
    To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again.  Make sure you transfer purchases first.   Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.
