Custom Ringtone issue

I know I saw a thread on this a few weeks ago, but I am unable to find it. When I sync custom ringtones to my iphone it always takes one of them and makes it the ring tone for all of the custom ones I have.
For example I make ring tone one then sync it to the iphone it works fine.
then I create a new garage band project and create ring tone two then sync it.
When i look in my i phone ring tone two is listed twice and ringtone one is gone. I delete them then resync now ringtone one is listed for both custom ringtones. This is really odd. I have done the hard reset and am doing a restore now just to see if it will fix it. If it doesn't what else can I try?

Try this: Deselect the "Manually manage music" option on the iPhone Summary tab in iTunes then go to the "Sync" tab and turn on the options to sync music and ringtones, and finally click the "apply" button. This will generally allow all ringtones to properly transfer. You can then turn "Manually manage music" back on

Custom Ringtones Show Up in iTunes Folder, but Not on iPhone

I've recently upgraded from a 3GS to a 4G. I have a few custom ringtones that I created from .MP3 files (converted to .m4r files). I had these same ringtones installed on my 3GS and want them on my 4G.
I transferred to my 4G by dragging them from the Windows folder to the iTunes device folder. The 5 ringtones show up in iTunes under the Ringtones folder. Only one of them shows up on the phone as being transferred.
I had done this a couple of days ago, and noticed then that only one ringtone was being shown under Custom Ringtones on my phone. Tonight, I uninstalled them all, rebooted my phone, and then re-dragged the files as per above. Again, all show up in the folder on the iPhone in iTunes, but one shows up on the phone. This is now a different one than a couple of days ago.
Soooo... what can be causing this? The files are apparently on my phone, but not appearing in the usable list. I need some help in resolving this. I've looked through these forums and seen similar issues. There doesn't seem to be a 'proper' way to do this. I manage my phone manually, and have not done a 'sync' with the ringtones as they show up in the folder... (I don't really see the need to sync if they're appearing in iTunes as on the phone).
Thanks!

Hi
having the same problem with my both devices.
already have custome ringtones and wanted to add more, followed the instruction and now i have them in iTunes under the Ringtones section.
my devices are iPhone 4 and using OS 4.21
during the sync i saw that the ringtones are added and they appear under the ringtone selection under the device info, however they do not appear on the device after sync.
any help??
by the way, i have read all the previous messages and i cant find any ringtone folder under iTunes folder

I've spent an hour plus googling this and none of the 'fixes' works. My custom ringtones show up fine in itunes but are grayed out in iphone when I try to sync. This just happened when I synced my phone: previously worked fine.

I've spent an hour on this: massively frustrating. My custom ringtones disappeared from iphone when I just sync'd and now show up in itunes/iphone interface (on the mac) grayed out: won't sync to phone. I know the audio files work because they were fine two hours ago! (iphone 5 running 8.1.3)

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

Custom Ringtones

I'm having an issue with my custom ringtones assigned to my contacts. The custom ringtone does not work when the contact that I have assigned the custom ringtone calls. I get the general ringtone that I use for all other calls. I have tried deleting the contact and reentering it and assigning the custom ringtone again but still nothing. I have even tried pulling the battery out after entering in the contact and custom ringtone but still nothing. I don't have caller ID from my wireless carrier, Rogers, but I was told I don't need it to make the custom ringtones work. I even called Rogers but they were no help. Can someone pleas give me some advice on how to fix this issue?
Thanks

You may have an issue with your Sounds/Profiles database. Try clearing it and setting up all notifications again manually then testing the custom ringtones again. http://bbry.lv/lsuQXK

BB 8130 designated ringtone issue.

I have a blackberry Pearl 8130, I use a Macbook and I have US Cellular for a carrier.
I figured out how to get ringtones on my blackberry. And I gave the contacts I wanted to have custom ringtones, each custom ringtones. Then I wanted a custom sound for my messages that came in so I created a new profile and edited that also. Now the messages come in and the sound I chose for them comes in but when the contacts call it doesn't use their specific chosen ringtone I assigned in their individual settings. I then went in to the created profile and added an exception hoping that would make them work, tried it and it doesn't work. How can I get this to work, where the ringtones work as assigned to each person and still get the various message tones to come through as well???
Please Help!
Shelley

I don't have T Mobile. I have US Cellular Thanks anyway. I did figure out the issue. I don't know how really, It was an accident. I created a new profile ( named it ) , then I changed all the settings in the new profile, but in order for the ringtones to ring upon each designated person, I needed to chose a different profile and add the name of my new profile to the list of exceptions. It seems to work right now.

Ios 7 changes custom ringtone to opening by itself

Hi, I don`t know what to do anymore.... I had set a custom ringtone to some of my contacts and suddenly the phone changed it by itself to "opening" ringtone. After changing it and saving, it "jumps" from my custom one to the "openin" back. I have done several Restore actions, turned off iCloud and lot of other actions, but some contacts still have a custom ringtone, but some of them the phone changes by itself. It went so far, that its not always the "opening" ringtone, but sometime its also "apex". It drives me nuts.... :-/ Is there anybody who has a similar issue....?

Hoping after upgrade to IOS 7.1.2 the problem solved... it still persist....
Is it a hardware problem?
Apple Support... Please help...

Thunderbolt Notification/ringtone issue after 2.11.605.9 Update

I know that this latest update was supposed to fix the bug where the wrong ringtones were being played when a custom ringtone had been set; however, now I am seeing a different issue with ringtones/notification sounds. After receiving the update on 12/21, I have noticed that my ringtones and notifications sounds no longer stay set. I noticed it when my email notification sound started playing some mp3 that I had on my phone and as I was looking further, all of my contacts that I had given custom ring tones were now set to some other ringtone. I reset all of custom ringtones on my contacts and notifications sounds that I had noticed had changed. This morning....many of them were set to something else again. Including the gmail app notification sound (again). Is anyone else experiencing this issue.

Same issue as many have described above.
After update to 2.11.605.9 my custom ringtones and notifications change every time the device is power cycled. The vast majority of the time my txt notification sound is changed to "Facebook Pop" (which I don't actually remember being an option prior to the update to Gingerbread). That sound is nearly inaudible, not to mention it's not the custom notification sound I've selected, and contiune to select.
About 25% of the time after reboot the device selects an mp3 file saved on my phone, one that isn't even listed within my notification ringtone selections list. It's pretty bizarre, not to mention more than a little frustrating.
It makes no difference if the phone it just restarted, or shtudown completely and then started up once more - notification & ringtone selctions are not saved.

Custom Ringtone not sync

I got a few ringtones (self made and downloaded). They appear in my Ringtones list of iTunes. However, when i sync, they dont sync with the iPhone 3G. The iTunes setting has 'Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected' checked. Under the Ringtones tab, 'Sync Ringtones' is checked and set to 'All Ringtones'. However, during sycn the progress bar on top only shows it syncing Apps. It does not have any problems syncing music. Only the Ringtones have an issue.
On the iPhone.. under the Settings/Sounds, I dont see any custom Ringtones either.
I am sure this must be some stupid checkbox setting somewhere. Just to be sure, i rebooted the iPhone. But no joy. Is Apple becoming a Microsoft?

Are they checkmarked? If the main tab has sync of only checked songs and videos, the ringtones also must be checked.
I agree that itunes is turning into an extremely complicated set of checkmarks scattered all over the place. Just start using podcasts, especially video podcasts that should sync in and out as they are played, while you also try to keep certain other types of videos on there all the time no matter how often they are played. It gets difficult because some kinds of content appear in the song library, the video library, and any one of the movie list / podcast list / tv show list... Blech.

Incoming calls doesn't play customed ringtone

i managed to make customed ringtone with iTune and sync the customed ringtone to iPhone. I assumed it went fine as the ringtone showed (and I could play the ringtone) in the settings-->general-->sons ringtone list. I checked that it has already been set as default rigntone. But, when an incoming call is on, it is not the selected custom ringtone, but one in the standard ringtone list.
what has gone wrong?
thanks.

My understanding of this issue is that it has more to do with the caller ID signal from the local tower when the call is received than a problem with the phone. I've noticed that I get custom ringtones most of the time but not ALL the time.

Exchange Synced Contacts Lose Custom Ringtones After 24 Hours

Currently running iPhone 3GS with 3.1 against a Windows Exchange 2003 Server utilizing Active Sync. Once I assign custom ringtones to my contacts (that are synced from Exchange) after about 24 hours all ringtones are reverted back to Default.
Anyone else having this issue or is there a solution?
Magnum

Actually, I thought a system update does do a backup and restore. I thought it wiped out the data, applied the system OS, then restored the data. Otherwise how would all of the settings, applications, and other data be in the same status as before the update? In any case, I wouldn't have thought that all contact data would need to be re-applied afterwards. But actually my main problem, aside from this, is that my contacts are consistently losing their custom ringtones. I use push services for my contacts, and I can understand why re-population of my contact data loses them since a ringtone isn't a maintained data field in Exchange, but this situation only makes it worse if I'll lose ringtones after every system update.

Custom Ringtones Will Not Sync to iPhone 4s with Latest iOS

I have been using a custome ringtone on my iPhone 4s for about a year and a half now without an issue. Today, I went to add another and when I went to sync it to the phone, It showed up in iTunes (under the device) grayed out, with a dotted circle next to it and it does not show up in the phone. Just to try something, I deleted my original ringtone and the new one from iTunes, then imported them both back into the library. I tried to sync again and neither show up in iTunes, under the device nor the phone.
What can I do to fix this?

More information...
In order for me to get this to do anything at all, I had to drag the file from the Tones folder in the Library to the phone. I just did this with both of my ringtones and my original is now back on the phone, but the new one is still grayed out in iTunes in the Tones folder under the device with the dotted circle next to it.
HELP!!!

Problems with custom ringtone syncing after iOS update

I recently updated the iOS to the latest version and it wiped out my custom ringtones.
I resynced them but it only loaded three onto my phone.
I then tried to delete them but when I synced again they were still there.
I manually deleted the ringtones folder on the phone using ifunbox and they finally were deleted.
Then when I tried to syc my ringtones back it only synced three (different three).
Dragging and dropping isn't doing anything.

Hello is anyone from Adobe out there? Is anyone from Adobe monitoring the forum? The 1.6 update has stopped the app from crashing when you were trying the sync function to the creative cloud.
However, the sync function is not working as it did in the past. If you make a change in an already existing file in the Photoshop touch app and save it, the sync to the creative cloud results in an explanation point instead of a check to the left of the filename. Toggling the sync button on and off doesn't change the exclamation point to a check. The blue line goes across the file as it normally would when syncing but the explanation point remains. As a result, the changed file is not being synced with the creative cloud.
I am not sure of the exact amount of time it takes, I am guessing about 24 hours. After about 24 hours when you do a sync, the file that had the explanation point to the left of it does change to a checkmark. However, you now have two files. One that reflects the change and has the word conflicted now added to the file name. As well as a file with the same name that doesn't reflect the change and no conflicted added to its file name.
For me at least the sync function no longer causes the Photoshop touch app to crash. However, the 1.6 update also doesn't sync properly to the creative cloud.
Making a change to a file in the Photoshop touch app and trying to sync it shouldn't result in the file not being synced or in a conflicted file. Could someone please help me in regard to this issue.

Lost my custom ringtones with ios6 on 4s

When my 4s automatically upgraded to ios6 all my custom ringtones did not display in my contacts under "ringtones." I found my custom ringtones in itunes, but I can't figure out how to get them assigned to specific contacts. Any suggestions?

GUARANTEED SOLUTION READ!!!!
Okay so I had the same exact issue on my 2012 Honda Accord. I took my car to the dealer and some iPhones worked while others didnt so they said they can't do anything. I thought the stereo system may have needed a firmware update to be compatible with my new ios but it was not even related to that. My front door neighbor has the same exact vehicle. I just spoke to him and he advised me that to fix the issue all I had to do was SIMPLY PURCHASE A SONG ON iTunes....YEA LIKE THAT WILL WORK? Well thats what I said, but that $1.29 song I bought MADE IT WORK! I was surprised as **** to find out that would solve the problem.
Solution Summary:
Purchase a song on your iTunes. If you had done so in the prior ios DO IT AGAIN! I had never bought anything on iTunes and this was my first purchase. I GUARANTEE YOU it'll work....well at least in the Honda Accord it does. I had to call my Honda service rep and let him know so in the future if someone brings their car in for same problem they know how to advise them.
HOPE THIS HELPED A LOT OF YOU FROM A LOT OF FRUSTRATION

Custom ringtones keep replacing each other

Here's my problem. I have 16 custom ringtones on my iPhone. When I recently created a new one, it duplicated itself over the last ringtone i synced. In the iTunes library everything looks fine but on the phone the latest tone duped over the previous. Make sense? I'm wondering if any one els has had this issue. I'm using the 1.1.3 firmware

Yes, others have experienced this and turning off "Manually manage music and videos" then syncing corrected the issue.
You may turn manual back on after you sync.
A restore is not the final solution for everyone.
Be sure to report the bug to Apple on the iPhone feedback page.

Since upgrading to iOS 5 my custom ringtones wont work.

Since upgrading to iOS 5 my custom ringtones wont work.
Since upgrading to iOS5 my custom ringtones wont work. Further my phone won't sync properly. The sync procedure always fails on the last step.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? And is there a solution or work around?

If your ISP is Comcast, read on....
I had similar problems with both my iphone and ipad when using my wifi, but not when using cellular. Turned out to be a Comcast issue with their implementation of DNSSEC validation. You can see my full explanation on my blog at http://blog.trif.com/?p=295. The site is being blocked by Comcast because the Microsoft portal does not meet DNSSEC validation rules. This applies to Comcast DNS Servers 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.75.76.
