IOS 5 - New Alert Tones not playing

After updating to iOS 5, I purchased some new Alert Tones to customize my notifications (text, calendar, etc..), BUT the new tones will not play when my notifications pop up.  I switched back to the default tones and it worked fine and I get the sound, but anytime I switch to any of my purchased tones I don't get any sound.
Anyone else experience this?

After messing with it for a while, I finally rebooted the phone and the sounds now work.

  • Iphone 4 Alerts Tones Not Working / Ringer Is WORKING KINDLY REPLY ME

    HI , PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT I AM GETTING PLEASE HELP
    MY ISSUE IS IPHONE 4 ALERTS TONES NOT WORKING AND CALL RINGER IS WORKING.. PLEASE HELP ME!

    If the iPhone came from the US then it is locked to AT&T. To unlock an iPhone the original carrier is the only one who can unlock the iPhone and AT&T will not unlock iPhones. So there is not official way to unlock the iPhone 4.
    At this point there is no way to hack the iPhone 4 running 4.2.1 to unlock it either so the phone and messaging apps will never work. You basically have an iPod touch.

  • New Computer does not play certain games or movies.

    Hopefully someone can help
    My new computer will not play certian flash based games eg "Raze" (Error message "Protected by secure swf")
    Also website Warcraftmovies will not play any videos (Only get blank black screen with no errormessage)
    However the spinning adobe flash animation is working, and most flash based games are working and also YouTube videos are working. So far I've only found that videos on warcraftmovies and the game raze are not working.
    Flash version 10,2,159,1 installed.
    Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit
    Both firefox 4.0 and IE8 64 bit are installed and encounter the same problems

    This issue is occurring with me too.

  • [iOS 7] Alerts and typing played in earphones at ringer volume

    Hello all, ever since upgrading to iOS 7 yesterday I've noticed an annoying ear-drum bursting audio bug; now whenever a video or music is not playing on your iPhone alerts and typing (the tap-tap noise) come through my earbuds at ringer volume, which I usually set much higher than volume/headset volume so I can hear my phone in noisy situations. I usually set my headphone volume low to preserve my hearing, but now I can hear typing with my earbuds sitting on my desk.
    The clincher is that this still happens even when I turn my earbuds all the way down; even when my earbuds are muted I can still hear typing and alerts at whatever volume the ringer is set to. This happens without earbuds too; muting the iPhone's internal speaker will not mute typing. (Alerts I would expect to play at full volume without earbuds connected, and they seem to do so.)
    If anybody has a work-around for this that would be incredibly nice, it would be nice to be able to have my earbuds in to listen to stuff other than music. I'm fairly sure that iOS 6 did not have the same behavior. (e.g. typing is a sound effect and not an alert, and headphones use the same volume for alerts, music and effects.)

    Additional info, which makes me think this is a bug rather than a feature.  If you go into Settings > Sounds and turn off the "Change with Buttons" option, then the ringer should always ring at the volume of the slider on the screen. 
    The volume buttons now appear to only affect the media/games volume, and it works as expected EXCEPT:
    if you are in a game and you mute the volume in the game, then exit the game, all alert sounds are muted and you can't turn them back up by raising the volume with the volume buttons.
    If you go back into the game and raise the volume within the game, then exit the game, then alert sounds do turn back on.
    I have tested this with two games from two developers.

  • StopAllSounds vs. new Streaming Sound not playing

    In my timeline, I'm using a stopAllSounds action (because the
    user could be coming from anywhere in the movie and I need to stop
    whatever narration might be playing), then, in the next frame, I'm
    trying to stream a new sound. My problem is that the streaming
    sound doesn't play. I've tried adding a few frames between the
    stopAll Sounds action and the start of the streaming sound, but
    that doesn't seem to be the problem. Any ideas would be greatly
    appreciated.
    - BillG

    I was about to try your suggestion, but after sending a few more test emails, I discovered that it does in fact play the sound sometimes.  I sent about 20 test emails, and they were all received using the "idle" command, with about 75% of them playing the sound.  There was a 5-10 second delay between the messages being received and the sound playing that I don't remember from Snow Leopard, but I'm not positive about that.
    It shouldn't be the actual sound that is the issue, being that it is played sometimes, but I still don't know why it's not playing every time.  I tried receiving messages with the app running in the background, with it minimized, and with it as the active window, but I couldn't find any specific instance that caused it to not play the sound.
    I wasn't having this issue in Mail 4.  It didn't start until I installed Lion, which I did a clean install of, if it matters.
    I'm still open to thoughts on this, and thank you for your help.

  • New iMac will not play Adobe. APPLE directed me to you to solve the issue. Please assist.

    Please assist. My new iMac with latest operating platform by APPLE will not play Adobe on Safari. ESPN.com, as example, has articles that have videos attached. The error message pops up that I must upload / update ADOBE. I do that, but it does not resolve the issue. APPLE believes that the program should be deleted, removed from the Mac, and then re-uploaded via Adobe Technical Support. Can you assist? Thanks. Bob

  • New iTunes can not play music, can not locate songs in my music library

    I only use iTune on my PC, so this Should be simple. I downloaded a new version of iTunes when prompted to do that. With the new version, I cannot play my music. It asks me to locate songs, but nothing helps locate them. I put ogver 4000 songs on my hard drive and now, thanks to going with the prompt, I cannot play any of them. What can this low tech 68 year old music-lover do to listen to his songs once again?

    I'm afraid the problem is more widespread than just iTunes and the update didn't fix it. There's a thread out there about users not getting any sound/audio in Lion after wake from sleep or just having it idle for a long while.
    Hopefully, Mac OS X 10.7.2 will fix the issue.
    Thanks!

  • "New Message" Sound Not Playing In Mail 5

    Since I have upgraded to OS X Lion and Mail 5, I have noticed that the "new message" sound is not playing when I receive a new email.  I have checked the settings, and the option for this is enabled.  I am using Gmail and have the "idle command" option enabled, and I suspect that this may be involved in the issue.
    I have read that in the past Mail had an issue where it would only play the "new message" sound if it had received the new message by polling the server.  If the new message was received through the "idle" command, then the "new message" sound would not be played.  Perhaps this is the same bug.
    Is anyone else having this issue?  I know I could just turn off the "idle" command, but I'm looking for an actual fix to the underlying issue.  I've reported it to Apple, but I would like to see if anyone else has noticed this.

    The MAil alert tones should be changeable and volume adjustable. One small beep is not sufficient to hear in most environments.

  • Ios 8 iphone can not play audio message in imessage

    Seems I can send sound clips from my iPhone 5, but when someone sends me one I get a box with a ? in it and can not play it even though it says I have received an audio message. If I am at the lock screen I can hit play but then it appears to freeze.
    Any ideas? Below is what I see in my messages.. they should be audio messages.

    Just downloaded it about an hour ago and the same thing happened to me. I guess I should just wait it out then?

  • My new MacBook will not play TV shows, or connect audio with slideshows

    I just bought a black 2 gigHZ MacBook and when starting it up used a firewire to transfer everything from my Intel iMac, as prompted. Seemed to work fine, except: the TV shows in iTunes will not play in Front Row on my MacBook. And in iTunes they will play as video only: no sound.
    Also, I tried to make a slideshow in iPhoto, but I cannot attach a soundtrack from my iTunes plibrary: again, no audio, though the slides play.
    Odd thing is: I can play commercial DVDs in Front Row. No problem. Likewise with iTunes music library. The ptoblem seems limited to TV shows I have downloaded from iTunes music store, and to the slide show/no audio issues.

    hello,
    did you try to authorize you Macbook with your itunes login and password ??
    this must be done manually and is not transferred automatically with other datas as you can authorize up to 5 computers !
    if you didn't already do this, give it a try !
