Default ringtone after sync.

Hope this is a short & sweet resolution...
Everytime I sync my iPhone 4, my custom ringtone reverts back the the default ringtone.
Any idea as to why?
I'm using iTunes 10 when syncing.
Thanks

More from Randall39: And let me also say -- I have the "sync tones" boxes checked on iTunes. My point is that it reverts back despite having this box checked. Surely this isn't what it is supposed to do.

Missing ringtone after sync with iTunes

Hi,
I just bought a new iPhone 5 and I transfered all data from my old iPhone 3GS except for one ring tone which is missing now on both phones after the sync with iTunes! I can't find it anywhere in my iTunes, nor on my old iPhone 3GS which is weird...
I can't see it in my iTunes in my Purchased items. It's like Apple just deleted it entirely.
I found similar problem in topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811069?start=0&tstart=0 where Apple deleted a ringtone which was no longer affiliated with iTunes Store. This can't be the right way to deal with all the content people paid for in past ?
The ringtone is still available in iTunes. It's Royksopp - Happy Up Here.
I paid for this ringtone and I wish to have it back.
Please advice

Have you tried closing the GoodReader app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with GoodReader 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the GoodReader app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Missing ringtone after syncing to iCloud.

After I synced my iPone to the iCloud, I lost all my music. When I restored it, my purchased ringtone was missing. Any way to get it back without buying it again? I got it from Verizon, not the iTunes store. Please help?

I have this problem on the iPod Touch. I wish someone could provide a clue. I upgraded to ios6, and now I have a badge on Reminders that says 37! Who knows what it's counting? I have three visible reminders that are due, so I guess it's counting all the ghosts as well.

Selected ringtone reverts to default after sync

I have downloaded to my mac a couple of ringtones which I use for family members. The ringtones for those family members (seen in Contacts) revert to the default ringtone (just a standard one available on the iPhone 6) every time I sync to my mac. What am I doing wrong?

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?

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.

Use Migration Assistant to put all your personal data from the backup of your other computer onto the new computer, then sync.

I downloaded Ringtone from iTunes into my iPhone 6 and set it as the default Ringtone. Worked well until I had to recharge my phone. Now disappearred from my iPhone but shows in Tones when phone sync'd. How do I get to show back as default Ringtone

I downloaded a Ringtone from iTunes into my iPhone 6 and set it as the default Ringtone.Worked well until I had to recharge my phone.The Ringtone has now disappeared from my iPhone and I'm left with just the Ringtones that come standard with iPhone 6. I sync'd my phone and it shows in the Tones folder. How do I get the Ringtone back as a default Ringtone in my iPhone 6. Quite frustrating!!

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!

Unable to sync purchased ringtones after installing OS 5.0

Unable to sync purchased ringtones after installing OS 5.0 on my cdma iPhone 4.

When you go into your iPhone Settings>Sounds>Ringtones...what do you see? On mine...I have a list of "Purchased", "Custom" and "Standard". Do you have that?

HT1688 My purchased ringtones are not on my new Iphone after syncing. How do I get them back?

My purchased ringtones are not on my new IPhone after syncing How do I get them back? ITunes store said I had already purchased - would I like to purchase again?

Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

Syncing with outlook 2010, if i leave empty the Home address it cames United States as default and if i fill home address and left work address empty Saudi Arabia appears after sync in Iphone.

Salam,
In contacts i am facing strange problem, i have all the contacts in outook 2010 and i sync it with my new Iphone 4s with IOS 5.1.1.
Some contacts in my outlook 2010 has work address filled and some has home address filled so i make them all shifted to work address (work city and work country), then after sync i found that those contacts which i update from home address to work are showing default home country "united states" in iphone even home address is blank in outlook 2010; and then i shift all the contact's work address to home address in outlook and leaving all work address fields blank and then sync with iphone, i was again amazed that iphone is showing work address as "Saudi Arabia" even the work country is blank in outlook.
Kindly help me in this problem.
Regards,
M. Faisal

Seriously folks? I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications. No answers???
FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well. No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries. Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck. Lots of iterations and nothing but fails. Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone. Still perplexed and still needing help....
pretty please....

I bought a ringtone and is not showing as my default ringtone

I can't seem to get this. Sorry for being slow. I have created the 30 second ringtone, and it's in a ringtone folder under Devices (my phone). It's in the folder and if I double click it, it plays fine, etc. However, I can't, after syncing, find it on my Iphone4. Maybe I'm not syncing correctly, or I just don't know where to find it on the phone. I assume I have to find it on the phone in order to select it as my ringtone. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago). Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer. I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app. Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists. Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes? Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

How to create custom ringtones ...
1. Open iTunes.
2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
6. Click the "Options" tab.
7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
9. Click "OK."
10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
Hope this is useful ...

How to change default ringtones in iphone5

I make my own ringtones. But after a few attempts to change to my own ringtones,i still get the default ringtone set by apple. Please help?

This solution comes from a different but related discussion on this forum:
Just talked with tech support. If you kill ALL running apps (by double-clicking on the home button), including the phone app. Then do a soft reset by "powering off" / "powering on" your phone. This should change the default ringtone. IT WORKED
Side note: I had already selected the ringtone that I wanted to use as default before doing the reset. Not sure if that will make a difference.
Good Luck!
