Customized Ringtones do not play on iphone

I was able to create customized ringtones and get them on the iphone, but they will not play when I get a call or go to the ringtones to hear them. Has this happened to anyone else?

got this from a similar query I made earlier

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!!!

I have a iphone5 and after last update (8.0.2) my ringtone will not play. Why and how can I fix it?

After last upday (8.0.2) my ringtone does not work. Why and how can I fix it?

Hi melindafromjerry city,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You mention that a ringtone does not work after updating iOS on your iPhone 5. If a single ringtone is not playing, or your iPhone is not ringing at all, this article has the best steps to start troubleshooting the issue:

All the best,

TS3833 iPhone 3G - iTunes ringtones can not play on this device.

I have an iPhone 3G. I reset the phone and now I cannot play the previews for ringtones. A message says: this device can not play tones. The iOS has to be 5 or???
Also when I go to setting, then general. I can not see the field whcih shows the operating system. It has been erased.
Can you help me?

when you bought it, did 2 versions download? For a bunch of shows I bought recently, I got 2 versions - a HD version and a standard (SD) version. To make room, I moved the files off my computer. When I wanted to watch the individual episodes on my iphone, I'd move the SD version back to the computer, and sync it with the iphone. After the recent upgrades - snow leopard, itunes 9, iphone 3.1, something got broken. When I would transfer the SD versions to my computer to sync with the iphone, for some reason something would rename the files with a (HD) tag at the end of the file name (even though they were the SD versions). Removing that tag in finder was all I needed to do to make it work. Odd.

My video not playing on iphone but playing on ipod

Hi,
Is there any reason why a mp4 converted video can't be played on iphone ?
It is playing fine on ipod.

Whoops! I must have cut off the link when I cut and pasted:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531
Safari 5 is supposed to support HTML5 video. I did find this stuff though, which might be related:

Main things linked above say that you may have to tweak the link code for Safari 5 to use a full (not relative) URL. Not sure if this affects Safari 6. You may also have to make sure it's encoded as h.264

Music not purchased from iTunes will not play on iPhone after iOS5 update

Music that I have purchased from iTunes syncs perfectly to the iPhone (3GS) but the music from my library that was not purchased from iTunes (burned from a CD) will show up in the iPhone music list but does not have any artwork nor will it play that music! Currently my solution has been to delete the defunct music from the iPhone and recopy it from iTunes. The music will then play but the artwork is missing. This is a rather irritating problem. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, any are any other solutions? Thanks!

I have just noticed that I am missing songs since I upgraded to iOS5. In some cases the art work is there and the length of the song is there but it will not play. I'm going to try and resync when I get home. I'll have to check to see if the songs still exist in my iTunes??? Nothing is ever easy is it??

What is the quantity limit for custom ringtone can be keep in iPhone 4

Help! Audiobook will not play on iPhone 4s

I just purchased an audiobook in iTunes on my phone. I've been able to find the book on my phone but it will not play. When I click on the 1st track to start the book it just jumps to the next one and then back to the main screen without doing anything else. I have also synced the phone with my computer. It will play on my laptop but NOT MY PHONE.
This whole thing is just ridiculous. If I pay for something I want to be able to use it. Is there a way to fix this problem or to get a refund?
thanks

The first thing I would try is resetting the iPhone. Hold the home and power buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If that solves the problem, great. If not, the second thing I would try is re-synching the iPhone 5 using iTunes.

Profile ringtone does not play.

Sometimes the ringtone I have set for the profiles does not play when a caller rings me. I have set the rintone as the same for all profiles (Classic phone), and sometimes that ringtone plays, but not always for every contact. Sometimes the phone plays 'Spirit' instead, and I have noticed that if I edit any of my contacts (that have not had a special ringtone given to it), the ringtone is 'Spirit', so what should a contact show in the ringtone selection part, if no special ringtone has been selected by me.

Hello markjb,
You can reset the Sound Profiles database back to default by using the BlackBerry® Desktop Software as shown here:
How to clear the user content databases from the BlackBerry® smartphone
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10167
Once you have reset the database all ringtones and notifications would be set back to default and then you can change the profiles ringtone to 'Classic Phone' .
Thank you.

Video will not play on iPhone 3GS but plays on old edge iPhone

I apologize if this has already been answered, I looked several pages deep and did a search and found nothing that helped.
I synched my new iPhone 3GS (version 3.2.1) and added movies but they will not play, only the audio works. I can play them on my computer on iTunes and I can play them on my old iPhone (edge), but not on the new one.
Usually I see a block of green, and sometimes it is just black.
I am able to play YouTube videos in Safari.
I have tried the advance option to convert video to iPod or iPhone and it says it is already in the correct format. I have tried everything I could find in the forum and nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi I have the same problem and have found no solution - did you get anywhere it's driving me nuts!

Certain songs will not play on iPhone and also not in my iTunes library

My problem is that songs will not play on my iPhone that I have purchased and appear like this...
These songs also do not appear in my iTunes library and when I look at the album (or other songs with this problem) in the iTunes Store it appeaers like this...
As you can see it says "purchased" where it would usually say "play"
It'd be great if someone could help as I am completely baffled.
Thanks.

In settings on your phone: iTunes and App store - is "show all music" off? Is automatic downloads off?
Do you share the computer with other Apple users? Is it currently associated with another Apple ID?
The work around is open iTunes purchases on your phone and download directly to your phone that way.

Some iTunes purchased songs will not play on iPhone.

Some of my songs that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone but will play on my MacBook Pro and iPad - what can I do to fix this. This problem has been happening for around a week now. At first it was 1-2 songs but now in a playlist of around 80 songs approximately 1/4 of the songs will not play. When the song comes up next in the playlist it will not only skip that song but will also skip past 1-2 other songs.

Hey brewmaster1967,
Does this happen with any other purchased content? Download some of the free on iTunes store songs.
Deauthorize the computer and play/authorize the song in iTunes again.

Try re-creating the iTunes Library.
