Large selection of tones for alarm clock but only 6 for sms :(

why is there large selection of tones for alarm clock oh yes and you can use own own custom added one but only 6 rubbish one which dont even work half the time for sms
will apple ever fix this ?

No one here knows if Apple will ever fix this, but it the 6 rubbish sounds available for SMS don't work half the time, having a larger selection of available sounds for SMS now wouldn't be working half the time for some.
My chosen sound for SMS works every time.

  • How to u set your alarm clock but not have the phone or txt go off

    Hi, My old phone Blackberry had an alarm. I would set it and then shut the phone off. The phone would turn itself on when the alarm had to go off.
    IPone 4 will not do that. So, how do I set the alarm and not have the phone ring or get text alerts. I cannot figure out how to do this.
    How do you delete pictures that are not on the camera roll there is a garbage can for those but not for other picture. I have double from synching too many times, this is my first Apple and I am not finding it easy to use.
    Thank you

    You can select whether or not it will vibrate when the mute switch is engaged. Settings>Sounds>Silent. Turn Vibrate on or off.

  • HT5312 Keep being told to select and answer 3 security questions but only given option for 1.

    When trying to download a (free) song, I keep being told "to help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose three security questions and answers." However, when I go to appleid.apple.com, I am only give the option of choosing one security question. Help!

    The 'send reset info' only shows if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If it's not showing then that implies that you haven't got one on your account, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your security questions - in which case  see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get the questions reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Song as Alarm Clock Tone Stopped Repeating with iOS 8

    This is a statement of fact rather than a question since the Feedback page doesn't allow me to submit anything.
    Since the update to iOS 8, my selected MP3 as my Alarm Clock tone no longer repeats. It used to repeat in iOS 7 until you manually turned off the alarm or the Snooze. Now it only plays once and shuts off. Then the Alarm dialogue box remains open. I've overslept twice because of this problem.
    I would also like to be able to use my own created ringtones as my Alarm. I am able to use them for my Voicemail and other Alerts, but there's no option for that within the Alarm Clock. Only purchased ringtones.

    Happened to me, too (first morning after upgrading). One of those reasons I hate to upgrade and always put it off as long as possible...you never know what they're going to f**k up for you. Add my voice to the chorus of dissatisfied alarm clock users. Why DO they mess with stuff like this?!?

  • Alarm Clock/Timer pretty much useless.

    Before the 2.2 update I had the normal low volume issue. After the update the notification and ringer volumes are fine. Last night i was playing around with the DX and set the alarm clock. When it went off if it wasn't for the vibrate and rattling on the table I never would have known. I have the alarm volume up all the way. I hope there is a solution, not that I'm going to depend on the DX as an alarm clock, but it's the only issue I have with the phone to this point.

    In general, I have found that relying on ANY phone alarm to wake up by can be pretty risky. I downloaded a tone called "Danger"from one of the big free ringtone sites (also part of the iPhone tone collection) , ran it through Audacity to normalize (and hopefully maximize) its volume, it has never failed to wake me up.
    Having said this, I had to send a memo around to the techs and staff here that said I will NO LONGER accept "i didn't hear my phone alarm go off" as a valid reason for being late. Yes, it got that bad.

  • Native Alarm Clock interrupted by push notifications

    I have an iPhone 3 GS with the latest ( as of 3/1/2011 ) IOS installed. The Clock application has 3 alarms set to go of each Weekday, 15 minutes apart , using the default alarm sound. This is designed to make sure I get out of bed for work in the morning, even if snooze or "ok" the first alarm.
    Environment:
    My iPhone is plugged into the charger ( can't have it not wake me up due to dead batt)
    Home Screen is in the foreground ( no apps open )
    Screen is locked ( but not passcoded )
    Alarms are set, the first one has snooze enabled, the 2nd and 3rd do not.
    For the last 2 days, the 1st alarm goes off, I swipe to unlock the screen, the popup message disappears, and the alarm sound stops. Note that I am not given the option to snooze or acknowledge the alarm, as soon as I unlock the phone, the alarm turns off.
    The next 2 alarms do not sound. If I fall back asleep ( like I usually do ), I wake up by myself, am late for work, and generally have a bad day.
    Has anyone else seen this issue? I've tried a multitude of alarm clock programs, but I always come back to the native one since it's the most reliable. I literally own 3 alarm clocks but prefer the iPhone for that purpose.

    I verified the issue. When my TextFree application notifies me ( popup message ) that I've received a new text, and then alarm goes off before I unlock the phone screen to view it, the alarm will not sound.
    I turned off notications for TextFree last night, and this morning( day 3 of 3 of testing ) the alarms that I set up worked perfectly. This issue might be true for any program that can do popup notifications, but my texting program is the only one that gets a lot of traffic.
    Solved.

  • Alarm clock problem after Sync with N73

    I have a problem with the alarm clock in my N73 (RM-133). From the moment on I had my phone synchronized with Outlook via Nokia PC Suite, the alarm clock fails to start the phone from power-off state - it switches on, and then the software crashes. A working alarm clock can only be restored by formatting the phone with *#7370# and therefore losing all settings and data.
    Another thing that can be seen is that, after a Sync, if I set the alarm clock, turn off the phone, immediately turn it on again, the alarm clock is still set to its time, but the alarm symbol (the little bell) is no longer displayed.
    I have absolutely no idea what the reason may be. It can not be incompatible installed apps, as the problem also occurs after a total reset without changing any setting in the phone. I have already once changed my hardware on warranty. I am always using the latest (unbranded original Nokia) FW available, same goes for PC Suite. Any ideas?

    Oj, just relax and buy another phone, that's exactly what Nokia wants! I did so after 3 times sending back my N73 for various defects (keys, display, camera), then took a E65 for 2 years (which is far better, but not perfect, worked after 1 time exchange with a faulty SIM card reader), now I have a N82 which I had to exchange 6 (six) times for not having several stuck keys, scratches on the display, dust inside the display. This N82 now "only" makes strange noises when pressing keys like double-sided adhesive tape not properly fixed. Nokia knows about that problem (asked today in a shop). They fix it, but can't guarantee it getting better.
    So... just sit back, relax, and throw all your expectations about quality from Nokia over board, learn how to be happy for getting some (mostly useless) answer from the support at all, and never think you could get a masterpiece of a working phone from Nokia if you pay them 'only' 400 bucks.

  • Is there a way to change the ring tones for notifications in the various Playbook applications?

    For example, our dogs bark every time the Video Chat notification sounds because they think the doorbell is ringing.  It would be great to be able to have a selection of tones for the various notifications.

    Simple answer, No.

  • Can I use my iphone with a Bluetooth speaker as an alarm clock?

    Good morning!
    I use my iPhones alarm functionality to get me up and out in the morning. I was wondering if I had a Bluetooth speaker would the alarm sound thru it?
    A thousand thank!!
    N

    bluetooth is likely closed when the iphone is suspended if not then you could use it as alarm clock but
    bluetooth use battery so if not connected to AC it would likely suck your iphone dry in the night

  • Sounds for SMS and WhatsApp

    I got a 4S recently. After recovering my apps and all other things from my iTunes, the message tone for SMS and WhatsApp sounds 3times continously instead of one tone. Does anyone have the same problem?
    Thanks,

    Did you check your Settings > Notification  > Message > Repeat Alert?

    Hi rsample,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Your symptoms make it sound like the iPhone side switch is set to silent mode.
    iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
    Set your device to silent mode
    iPhone: Toggle the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device.

  • I have selected a specific text tone for a certain contact but I only receive default tone when they text me. Why?

    I have selected a specific text tone for a certain contact but get the default tone when they text me. What am I doing wrong?

    Interestingly the selected text tone plays when texted by another iPhone.

  • My macbook air is updated but now I can't download updates for My Alarm Clock, apps and iTunes.

    My Mac will try to download the app to 100%, but then it tell me that it is unable to download. I have tried to turn off the firewall and restart. My itunes will not update My Alarm Clock or anything else.

    (iTunes) iOS based apps (for iPhones, iPads, and the iPod touch) can be updated directly from the device.
    Tap the App Store icon then tap Updates at the bottom of the display.
    For your Mac...
    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:    ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Try updating the My Alarm Clock app.
