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.

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.

Custom Ringtones Will Not Sync to iPhone 4s with Latest iOS

I have been using a custome ringtone on my iPhone 4s for about a year and a half now without an issue. Today, I went to add another and when I went to sync it to the phone, It showed up in iTunes (under the device) grayed out, with a dotted circle next to it and it does not show up in the phone. Just to try something, I deleted my original ringtone and the new one from iTunes, then imported them both back into the library. I tried to sync again and neither show up in iTunes, under the device nor the phone.
What can I do to fix this?

More information...
In order for me to get this to do anything at all, I had to drag the file from the Tones folder in the Library to the phone. I just did this with both of my ringtones and my original is now back on the phone, but the new one is still grayed out in iTunes in the Tones folder under the device with the dotted circle next to it.
HELP!!!

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

Losing custom ringtones

Hi,
I use iToner to add some ringtones to my iPhone 4. It seems like every time there's a software upgrade or someting dramatic happens - like adding my new iPad, I lose both my custom rings. Any idea why? Any diea how I can avoid this?
Thanks,
Michael

Couldn't find Itoner as an iPhone App, but there was iTones. It gets AWFUL ratings. Perhaps that's your problem. I have successfully used Ringtones App to create ringtones and they certainly stick around! There are ways of creating ringtones without Apps which the regulars on this forum have often recommended. I find using an App easier and it makes sure that your new ringtones are put into the right place in iTunes so that when you sync they're available.

IPhone5 will not vibrate on silent when using custom ringtone from iTunes sync

Hello,
I've troubleshot this one to death and came to find that my iPhone5 will not vibrate in silent mode when the audible tone is set to a tone synced to the device from iTunes.
I've found that the phone DOES vibrate on silent when the audible ringtone is set to a tone that comes with the Phone out of the box.
Any advice on how to rectify this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DP

I have this same issue, I havent been able to sync my phone since May 15th. I am using Itunes 11.0.3 and I have an Iphone 5. I reset my phone and deleted Itunes and reset sync history, all of which didnt work. I have already turned in my Macbook pro because of its buggy ways and I am thinkin I am going to have to leave the iphone if this doesnt get fixed. "Itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services. Please try again later. I have also removed norton and that didnt fix it. Apple is such a dispapointment anymore. I used to reccomend them but now I tell people to stay away.
Its driving me nuts, I was wondering how you fixed this.
Thank you

How Many Custom Ringtones

How many custom ringtones can you sync to the phone? I have created several and no matter what I try I can only sync one at a time. When I select sync all ringtones it still only syncs one. Is this the way it is or am I missing something? Thanks!

uncheck manually manage music

I added a custom ringtone . Then later I tried to add another three set but now after sync . Am not able to get rid of the first one... It's still there as my custom ringtone. But my iPhone in iTunes shows all four... But the phone shows only one...?

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!!!

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.

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 updated my iphone 3gs today to the ios 5. I have 4 custom ringtones in my itunes library, but it will only allow 3 to sync to my phone. They were all on before I updated today. I have deleted the one that won't transfer

I updated my iphone 3gs today with ios 5. I had 5 custom ringtones on my phone before updating. After updating, it will not allow me to transfer 2 of those ringtones onto my phone. I deleted both ringtones and recreated them. They are in my itunes ringtone library, and show under my phone ringtones. When I sync my phone, 2 will not sync onto my phone? Any information will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

have you tried resetting
hold sleep / home button until apple logo appears ignoring red slider and
allow to reboot
If that doesn't help try this

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!
