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.

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
3. Sync the BB.
3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

Iphone exchange sync contacts

When I try to sync my Contacts then my Iphone fineshes (circle don't rotate in status bar) at 118 or 243 contacts without an error.
In my Outlook (Exchange account) I have 388 contacts and 93 proposed contacts so 481 all exchange contacts.
Is there a limit for exchange sync contacts?
I tested it with an Itunes (10.2.2) connection and gprs connection the same result...
Any idea?
E-mail sync is ok.
regards
smith

I read that Google Contacts exchange does not support this second mobile field, I will have to use a fax mobile, or something like that.
Cheers

Losing Custom Ringtones after MobileMe Sync

Last evening I finally had time to complete the iPhone 3G - MobileMe setup.
The Sync went fine, and no errors, however I discovered all my custom ringtones were back to default.
I didn't see any options or setting that would have contributed to this behavior. Does MobileMe not support syncing the custom ringtones ?

As a form of an update: This behavior seems to occur when you make a modification to a CONTACT in the address book on a Mobile-me enabled laptop / computer and then the entry passed through the Mobile-Me cloud and when it updates in the iPhone during the mobile-me synch the RINGTONE entry is cleared to the default value.

Unable to assign My Music as Custom Ringtone after upgrade 5.1.1

I can play the music from micro sd. If I copy the song to the internal memory I can associate it to the contact.

After upgrading to 5.1.1 I am unable to assign my mp3s as custom music to contacts. I can assign default ring tones but even if my mp3 seems correctly associated to a contact, when I receive a call the default ringtone plays. Does anyone have this problem? Regards

Exchange Sync - Contacts GONE!

Hey everyone -
I'm hoping that maybe some of you can help me out - I would really really appreciate it!
Here it goes:
I added an exchange account and set contacts to sync.
After they had sync'd I removed the exchange account.
Now when I check my contacts they are not in my exchange/Outlook and ALL contacts are missing from my iPhone.
This is really important information for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks

When you add an exchange account, it does not merge the contacts you have on your phone with the ones on the exchange server. It simply removes the ones on your phone and syncs them with the exchange server.
Mind you, it did warn you when you set this up that it would delete all local contacts.
If you still have a computer that synced by USB cable, then remove the exchange account from the phone, resync and get contacts back onto the phone.
Now, setup iTunes so it syncs/merges the contacts on the iPhone with the contacts on exchange. After you have done this, you can readd the exchange account on the phone and it will pull all your contacts from the exchange server down.

Synched contacts lose custom headings

Hi,
Longtime Mac-user, first time iPod owner.
A little disappointed to find that my custom field headings aren't synched from my Address Book to my iPod Nano. For example, under my Greyhound Buses contact, I have "work, work, work, work, work..." instead of "Customer Services, Lost Property, Timetables etc..." (truncated where appropriate). Is this something everyone experiences? How about other iPod models?
Disappointed at the lack of attention to detail,
SiR G.

I've found similar problems with my iPod 5th generation. The custom headings I've created for phone numbers etc in Address Book are not reflected on my iPod. Also second addresses are completely missing.
I've been totally unsuccessful in finding any other info on this issue.
Has anyone found similar problems or can anyone suggest a fix for this.
If this issue migrates on to iPhone then I'm having second thoughts

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

Syncing contacts either hangs or takes forever

I have a large contact list (>2500) in Entourage which is synced with Address Book. When I go to sync my iPhone it either hangs on syncing Contacts or takes over an hour. When I terminate the process, it actually appears to have transferred and updated Contacts, but the process rarely quits on its own.
Any ideas of what's going on and how to fix this? Anyone else having the problem? If you Google on "Syncing contacts to iPhone hangs" you get quite a few hits, so it must be a problem others are experiencing, but nothing comes up on this forum.
Thanks.

This question seems to have resolved itself with the release of new iPhone sofware and Leopard.

After iTunes/Yosemite updates, custom ringtones no longer available in Contacts on Mac but are on iPhone

After updating to Yosemite, my custom ringtones are no longer associated with particular contacts on my Mac. They seem to be in the right place in iTunes (ver. 12, updated at same time), and are still assigned to contacts on my iPhone (OS 8.1)--I haven't synched contacts, but I can't figure out how to get them re-assigned to specific contacts on the computer. when they're not there to be selected. These are a combination of purchased and GarageBand ringtones, and have been in use for years. Here's what I've tried:
In iTunes > Tones: Deselecting the ringtones, syncing (connected to mac). Then re-selcting and synching again. Ringtones are still visible on the iphone in Sounds, and in iTunes, but not available from within Contacts on the Mac.
Still in iTunes, used Get Info to identify where in Finder Tones are kept, which for me is: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Tones/. Copied all of them, moved the originals to the trash. (Did not empty.) Restarted. Didn't make a difference. I put everything back.
I have had this problem once before with an OS upgrade or new iPhone, I'm not sure which, but the de-selecting/selecting had worked. Not this time, however. My mistake may have been to update to Yosemite before updating my phone to OS8.1, but that's the way it was presented to me, and I didn't realize it would matter. My preference is to sync my contacts. But this became de-selected during the update. (Other prefs changed, also, for example--I prefer local backup, and it defaulted to iCloud.)

regarding the ringtones, i was able to set custom ringtones myself, but ever since i did that i get errors when synching my phone in the form that some app's dont work, have any of you had this problem?

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!

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.

I assigned specific custom ringtones to specific contacts on my iPhone 4. When I sync my new iPhone 5, will those contacts automatically still have those ringtones assigned to them, or will I have to go into each contact and manually reassign them again?

Just wondering if it's possible to sync iPhone 5 in a way that automatically keeps my contacts from my iPhone 4 with the same custom ringtones. Or will I have to re-assign them all manually?

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
