No ring tone symbol keeps appearing

The bell with the line through it, keeps appearing and disappearing. Any info on how to stop please? It's extremely annoying.
Thanks
will

Apparently, having received the iphone used from a friend, he told me that it was broken and to just switch the ringer on off button. Also, i dont use the iphone as a phone, just an ipod, so i turned off all the alerts and ringers and that seemed to help too. So your problem may be that there is a short or something with the ringer on/off button. Hope that helps.

Red Small Symbol keeps appearing on Desktop

I keep getting a small, red "<>" in the lower left hand corner of my desktop...
anyone know what this is? it keeps appearing and disappearing... thanks

Thanks BDAqua. I think you have solved it as it's now about 6 hours now since I followed your suspicion by pressing the F11 and F12 volume buttons, which I usually do not use, several times each and the problem has not recurred since.
I do recall cleaning the keyboard, a few days before the problem appeared, with a small alcohol wipe which may have stuck one of these volume keys. Thanks again,

ICloud symbol keeps appearing next to a song

I have read several posts about this problem. I have tried different way to get rid of a free song that I obtained from a coffee shop. I tried to swipe and delete the song. Yes, it will get deleted but it will re-appear with a iCloud symbol next to it. I tried to turn off "show all songs" in Setting and yes, that particular song will disappear. But I don't want to just "sweep junk under the carpet." I want it completely gone! Is there a way to de-associate this song with my account and delete it permanently from wherever it is being stored? (funny thing is, after swiping and deleting that song, I can still play the song! I thought it's deleted from my phone!) Hours spent on this problem: apprx 3 hrs. Geez!

Welcome to the Apple community.
The songs are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the songs in the Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

Ring tone trouble...

I recently purchased about 10 songs from iTunes this weekend that I was planning on turning into ring tones for my phone. Naturally, I made sure they all had the ring tone symbol at the iTunes store. Upon downloading them and getting them in the library, they no longer had a ring tone symbol and therefore I couldn't cut them to make them ring tones. Any suggestions?

There's been a weird bug as of late in iTunes. Just right click on one of those songs and select "Create Ringtone". The ringtone symbols should re-appear.

My iPhone4 doesn't appear to have "FacTime" (App), yet when I "ring" it from my iPad's FaceTime, I hear a faint ringing tone but nowhere to answer the call? Anyone out there suggest what's wrong? (going to the App Store and searching "FaceTime" brings iPa

(going to the App Store and searching "FaceTime" brings apps that have icons different to that of my iPads!)

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

Can I keep my ring tones when upgrading to iPhone 6?

Can I keep the ring tones I have purchased when upgrading to iPhone 6? If so how do I do that?

I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

Ringer keeps appearing for no reason

The ringer keeps appearing on my phone when I push the home button even though I haven't pushed the volume control buttons. I've tried cleaning the headphone jack and that hasn't helped. Does anyone know what I can do?

Hey daVadar,
Have you tried removing and inserting the battery ? i would suggest trying to back up and complete a clean reload of the device software and test before restoring your backup: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320

Could you tell me how you deleted a pre-set ringtone?
I think you can't. But you can download an application to free up to 5MB, including all images/videos/ringtones that come preloaded with your Blackberry. I don't know it the application allows you to select what you want to keep.

I purchased Ring Tones - they do not show up on my phone

Turns out all Ernestine Anderson songs are ring tonable. So I bought one, then a ring tone for 1.98...A bell folder appeared, a "ringtone" tab appeared WITH the ring tone I created. I hit apply so I can sync the ringtone into the iPhone, the iPhone says "sync in Progress" then the sync stops with no error messages. I look at my ringtone list in my iPhone....and its not there. The same goofy ring tones it came with.
I have the current iPhone version - 1.0.2
I have the current iTunes version - 7.4.1.2
I am however losing faith in apple products and this is my first apple product.
What is wrong? - I had to authorize it - problem solved (dunno why I had to in the first place but..)

iTunes for some reason un-authorized it so I had to authorize it and it worked.

I can no longer sync music, books and ring tones

I recently updated my iTunes, and something has changed. I can sync music and audio books - but it erases my ring tones. I noticed this, and attempted to sync my ring tones -- only to lose all of my music and audio books. I have the "manually manage music and videos" box checked (though the check keeps disappearing). This is so frustrating! Anyone know what's going on?

Resetting a ring tone

I have a Noikia 6085 and I am trying to set a ring tone I downloaded from the internet. The phone keeps saying I cannot use that as a ringtone. It's is a mp3 format and is not copyrighted song. Any help

AHA, i've found it and it works for me now: you need to change the ringtone to an AMR file. you can find a free converter at http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
as for videos, if you use that converter, you need to convert them to 3gp (the one that says Nokia). don't worry, the files turn out very small.
hopefully it works for you!

Since I have installed iOS 6.1.3 on my iPhone 5 I have sometimes problems to start a phone call. Everything looks fine, but no ring tone... A workaround is to stop phone app in the multitasking bar. But this is more than inconvenient ;-) Any solution?

In this cases everything looks fine, but no ring tone is there and after sometimes the phone informs me that no connection can be estabilished (its a German phone, therefore I am not sure about the message in English systems). A workaround is to stop the telephone app in the multitasking bar (double click on home button, hold the app symbol pressed for some seconds, close app). Next several call work after this.
I am not sure if an incomming call would work in this mode...
Faces anybody the same problems or has solution for it?

Basic troubleshooting
Restart
Reset
Restore with backup
restore as new if required

I have a frustrating problem with my iPhone 5 post ios8 installation. The ring tone won't sound when phone is locked/switched off, although the vibration does work. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb"

Hi, I have a frustrating problem that seems to have occurred post iOS 8 installation. When my iphone5 is switched off the ring tone fails to sound i only get the vibration. If i am using my phone and a have an incoming call then the ring tone works as normal. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb" ... i see from the menu in "do not disturb" that under the heading "silence" there are two options "always" and "only when the phone is locked" This does not seem to make sense as i have to choose one or the other!
If anybody can help advise me on this problem i would be very grateful.
Thanks

Hello Mogulman46,
So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off.
Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
