IPhone Alarm Sound Used on My Name is Earl

Tonight (09-27-07) I was watching "My Name is Earl", yes I know...we are all supposed to be smarter than that here but, they used the iPhone's Alarm sound about 3 times during the prison scenes to simulate problems within the prison. The showed a big horn speaker and you heard the iPhone Alarm sound. If you get a chance to catch a re-broadcast you will know in a second that's where they got the sound. Maybe it's a royalty free sound and Apple took it from the same library of sounds that the TV producers got theirs from. Again, kind of dumb but thought it was worth mentioning.

Yup... Apple swiped it from "The Hollywood Edge" a sound library used for scoring movies and tv shows

Alarm sounds - using songs in iphone 4

I want to use a song on my IPhone 4 for alarm sound. I had been doing this, but since recent IOS update, the phone prompts me to download any song I choose ..... and they are already on my phone. If I ignore this message, the alarm is just vibration. The normal choices of alarm sounds work. Why did it work before, not not work now?

My phone did this... My emojis that I had after contact names that were disappearing and reappearing... Then I would add them back and they'd disappear again. I have an iPhone 5 and haven't seen any posts about it :/

I did a system restore on my iphone 2 and used a new name (Allan 2). Now I need to access my original iphone apps on itunes, Where do I find my first phone display an itunes? thanks

I did a system restore on my iphone2 and used a new name for thr phone on ituhes (Allan2). Now I need to access my saved apps on the original phone name. How do I find the two phone profiles on itunes. When I open it with my phone it only shows Allan2. Thanks

If your apps were in itunes on your computer, then they should still be there. Just sync them back to the iphone.
BTW, the backup that itunes performs when syncing does NOT include music/apps/movies/tv shows etc.
Anything purchased on the iphone would have to be transferred to your computer. File>Transfer Purchases
Unlike music/vids/etc, you can redownload apps

IPhone Alarm sounds...

When I choose a song from my music library to play as an alarm on my iphone, it plays without bass and a bit louder than usual.
This is great when I'm just using my iphone, but I keep my phone plugged into my dock when I sleep, which has way larger speakers than the iPhone 4s.
Is there any way I can change this, or any app that i can use (and lock my phone with) that can play music normally?
Further more, can I use spotify in joint with an alarm app out there?

is it possible to change the signalling of various notifications during a call?"
Only by flipping the silent switch.

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

Hi littlemansa,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Can i change the default alarm sound on Iphone 4s

Can the default alarm sound be changed for new alarms. My mother got an Iphone 4s recently and she can use Siri to set alarms for her, however the default alarm sound is always chosen and that is just not a loud enough sound. And it takes a some messing about to change the sound of the alarm and my 60 year old mother has trouble with changing it.
Is there any way i can make it change perminently, any help would be much appriciated.

The default alarm sound is the last sound you used.

Alarm sound button is greyed out in Iphone 5, can you please let me know how to activate it?

Under Alarm - Sound button is greyed out in Iphone 5, can you please let me know how to activate it?
I m not able to select other tones for the Alarm since it's greyed.
The phone literally hangs and I had to come out of the screen by pressing the home button.

Hi Mahendra KK,
If you are having issues such as you describe with your iPhone, I would suggest using the steps in this article to troubleshoot -

Distorted sound using headphones with my iPhone 4

Hello,
I have a strange and very annoing problem that I am currently experiencing with my iPhone 4.
Basically I have a problem where when I insert my Headphones (The Genuine Apple Headphones with Mic) into the iPhone 4, every now and then I hear popping sounds and this also happens when I unplug the Headphones from the phone too. The major problem with this is that when I listen to music the Bass effects seem very distorted, to the point of which you have to turn the music up so loud to fix the problem that it deafens you. If you turn the music down low then all you can hear is a very deep bass kind of sound.
This problem doesnt just happen with music, its with whatever sound I play (whether from a video on YouTube, or saved on my phone, to Music on my iPhone and sounds on the iPhone itself.).
I cant tell if the iPhone speakers themselves are distorted however I dont think they are, I have listened to music through the speakers on the phone and they seem to be all OK, although I havent done any proper testing, this problem only occurs with using Headphones.
I have tried a restore in iTunes and this has not helped. The iPhone is running the latest and greatest system from Apple, in my case as I am writing this it is iOS 5.1.1.
The iPhone has had a service just recently as the iPhone's home button was not working, but it was fine after that. I have not dropped the phone either.
Could you please help me?
Thanks!

Could you clean the connector with cotton swab?I fear there is debris in the connector.
If it is the same,I think it should be open for major repair.

Iphone alarm clock makes no sound

The day after daylight savings my iphone alarm clock stopped making any noise. Its very stressful and im sure its not on silent, do not disturb. The ringer and volume are all turned up it just doesnt even vibrate. Its not that it doesnt say there is an alarm, the screen will turn on and say an alarm is present but it just wont make any noise or vibration ): . This happened right after daylight savings and ive had enough is anyone else having this issue. I really dont want to restore it just is so much work. I mean i will if i have to but has anyone come up with an easy solution?

Have you tried resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, go into your Alarm, edit it, and see if the sound is playing correctly when you select the alarm sound.
You can also try editing it to a different alarm sound to see if that is working.
Cheers,

Does the iPhone display turn on when the iPhone is asleep anan alarm sounds

My iPhone was asleep when its alarm sounded. It was in airplane mode (I didn't want someone calling me during the night). When the alarm sounded, I heard the alarm sound and the phone vibrate, but the display itself was still off; I had to press the on/off/sleep button to see it.
Is that as expected?

It's weird -- I set an alarm, put the phone to sleep, and this time the display did turn on when the alarm sounded. Hmm...

My sons ipad uses my user name (i have an ipad and iphone). I want to set his up with his own username and password. How do i do that and can it be done without losing any of his apps, songs or video?

Go to http://appleid.apple.com.
To clarify, the mere act of changing the Apple ID on the device will not remove any content. But you cannot update the apps or re-sync them if they get deleted without the old Apple ID. It may be best to download them again with the new ID.

HT5463 Using Do Not Disturb, will my alarm sound, but silence calls, texts and notifications?

If I use Do Not Disturb, will my alarm sound, but silence text, and calls?

trakais wrote:
Actually Alarm will NOT sound. Tested today, by being late to work because of this. As far as I understand, the best workaround is to schedule the DND function to turn off right before the alarm.
Then there is something wrong with your device. I've done repeated tests on a variety of devices. The alarm sounds. You have to be using the built in Clock app.
Have you tried resetting your device? Force closing the Clock app? Have you made sure that the volume was turned up?
Best of luck.

Find Friends app-how to change alarm sound?

i have no problem with the Find Friends app, and use it to let me know when my wife is leaving her office. however, the alarm sound is tri-tone and sounds like most everything else that alerts my iphone 4s. i cannot find anywhere to change this particular alarm sound to something else so that i can hear specifically when she leaves her office, other than checking the phone itself every time it tri-tones. can someone clue me in?

you'll need to do some digging into the mail app to do this. Right-click on the Mail app in finder and select "show package contents". open the contents folder, then the resources folder and navigate down to whatever sound you want to change ("mail sent.aiff"). Make a copy of the original sound file and paste it somewhere else, then drag and drop whatever new .aiff sound file you want to use, renamed so the file name is exactly the same as the one you want to replace, into the resources window.

How do you get rid of unwanted alarm sound songs?

Hey guys. I'm stumped. I have an iphone 5 that I recently set back to factory settings so it's cleared out of music. And I don't sync my phone with my itunes library on my macbook as I don't want music on my phone.
BUT I noticed there's 246 songs on my alarm sounds area, where you can pick what alarm sound you want. And they all have the icloud with arrow symbol to the right of them? I don't use icloud for music. I only use icloud for contacts and find my iphone.
How do I delete these 246 alarm songs from my phone?!? I accidentally touched the icloud with arrow symbol on one of the songs and it housed it permanently in my phone's songs app. Help!!!

Not sure how iCloud music with an iCloud icon meaning it has not been downloaded can appear with Show All Music off.
When you restored the iPhone with iTunes, did you restore from the iPhone's backup or as a new iPhone or not from the backup?
