Ringtones and Text Tones No Longer Work in IOS 8 upgrade

I have an Iphone 5S and recently did the upgrade to IOS 8...  I know better i should have waited a year to upgrade but I stupidly did.  Today all my tones and ringtones are stuck on default and will not change to the selected.
Phone has also crashed. Went into restore mode. 
system restore did nothing, so its in software..
any suggestions,  These are purchased ringtones through itunes,
thanks

I am having a similar issue. I have an iPhone 5, and after updating to iOS 8 it uses the ringtone I have set as my default.. but will not keep the ringtones I have set for one person. I go back in and change it, and five minutes later it's back to the default ringtone. And it keeps doing this.
Help?

    Transfer your purchases from old iPhone to computer iTunes, then select tones in iTunes with your new iPhone connected, do a sync.

  • Itunes ringtones and text tones not working??

    I downloaded a ring tone and a text tone, from the itunes store,and it was working great for about three weeks.  I lost charge on my phone yesterday and soon as I powered back up the default ringtones have seemed to take over even though my tones are set to the two tones I downloaded.  any answers to why? or is there a fix available? I also have the latest software update iOS 8.1.2 on my iphone6.

    Try doing a hard reboot of the iPhone
    1. hold the power and home buttons down
    2. you will see the "swipe to turn off" screen come up... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
    3. The screen will go black (turn off)... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
    4. A white Apple logo will appear on the screen, now you can release the buttons. Left the iPhone boot... should only take a couple minutes.

  • Ringtones and text tones not working

    I finally figured out on my own that I have to turn OFF Do Not Disturb for my Iphone 4 to alert me to calls or texts. I had it set for DNDisturb 10p-9a. It's 6:55p. I got sick of missing calls and texts. Why is DND messed up? This has been happening for about three days I guess.

  • My ring and text tones are not working?

    Both my ring tone and text alert tone are not working. I'm only made aware I have a call or text message through the phone's vibration. I have checked all the 'Sound' settings and all appears to be fine and ringer volume slid to high.
    Do I need to reboot this phone for them to work as I'm not sure how to do this? I'm using iPhone 4 version 5.0.1
    Would I loose all my files and apps on my iPhone after rebooting?
    Appreciate any clear help and advice on this popular subject that is available.
    Best wishes

    Thank so much Ingo2711, your suggestion has solved my problem. I am so new to the iPhone I didn't realise it had a handy little mute button and it was infact switched onto 'mute'.
    And thank you for the rebooting advice too.
    Best wishes

  • Ringtones And text tones not working, but iPod is

    I purchased a ringtone today and since I did so, none of my alerts are working. My iPod is playing fine, so I know it's not the speakers. I just have no idea when I get a call or text message! Please help!

  • HT1358 I quite want my custom ringtones and text-tones to be a higher bitrate than 128kbps.

    Is this possible?

    Hi MadMac!
    I have exactly the same problem as you and I have also tried all solutions given on the InDesignSecrets page without result. The created pdf's look perfect but not when printed.
    I have started to think in another way. I have to buy a new printer soon and I'm looking for one of the cheaper color lasers for small offices. For testing I created an ugly designed A4-sized layout in InDesign with transparency in some text frames and exported it to a pdf which I brought to the reseller. The interesting thing is that it seems to depend on the printer if the YDB-syndome appers or not. All the three HP Color LaserJets I have looked at gives the syndome, but Xerox 6280n does not give the syndrome. I am not an expert at all regarding this, but my conclusion is that it has to do with the printers drivers. Xerox has true Adobe PostScript 3, ICC-profiles and Pantone-simulations and the HP's have emulations.The negative thing with Xerox 6280 is that the black/greyscale are printed approx 1/4mm wrong, compared with the other colors, which makes a mispas (or what it's called in english...).In offsetprint or digital press I have never got the syndrome, but there is not enough space on my desk to place an offsetpress even if I had the money.
    Have other here on the forum made the same or similar observations? And do someone know if the Canon LBP-5360 gives the YDB or not?Canon makes good inkjetprinters, so maybe they make good lasers as well.

  • How to keep custom ringtones and text tones in iOS 7

    ....

    Yup - looks like you can only copy the entire text from the Message app and the email app lets you 'select' or 'Select All'.

  • I purchased a few music ringtones and text tones on a previous iPhone 5 . When I got the new replacement only the songs downloaded not the ringtones or text tones ..what do I do?

    Need help in locating or redownloading previous tones

    All content and apps should be in iTunes on your computer.
    Connect the device to the computer and sync the desired content to the device.
    I do not believe ringtones are available for re-download.

  • Scrapbook and Snapshots screensavers no longer work after Yosemite upgrade

    Upgraded to Yosemite and discovered that the Scrapbook and Snapshots screensaver modules don't work now. Here's how they appear in my screensaver preference pane:
    The Scrapbook screensaver doesn't work at all; the Snapshots screensaver will load but isn't fully functional - it only displays a single photo at a time, it doesn't show the background photos any more. Snapshots was my preferred screensaver too. Any thoughts besides a clean reinstallation of Yosemite?
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
    2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    500 GB Flash storage
    Intel Iris 1536 MB

    I saw, from a clean install of Yosemite of a friend, that these two screensavers are not there.
    Probably I have brought them back from Snow Leopard.
    I would like to remove them from the list of screensaver (or recharge the list of default screensaver), you know if it is possible and how?
    I thought I would delete the file screensaver.plist, but I would not combine damage.
    Thank you and hello

  • SD CARD READER NO LONGER WORKS after IOS upgrade. Help!

    Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get my sd card reader working again? My generation 1 iPad worked fine with it until I updated to IOS5. Today was the first time trying to upload pics since the upgrade. Nothing. Not even an error message. I rebooted and still nothing. SoTHAT was $30 well spent. So now, in order to get the pics onto my iPad, I am sending the pics to myself from my HP laptop, opening the emails on the iPad, and saving from there. The card reader used to work great for pics and videos. Gotta love it when upgrades make so I can no longer do before the "improvements." I would just return the camera kit/card reader, but I purchased it a year ago, so that bird has flown. Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!

  • HTTPS no longer works after iOS upgrade

    Since upgrading to latest iOS (on march 5th, iPhone 5) Safari cannot connect to sites that use https.
    There is no firewall setting I can change - is it certificate problem with all the sites?
    No one else has this issue?

    the time and date are set automatically by the network
    if that was the issue all network users would have same issue
    No one else is having this issue? It is definitely a result of the upgrade which 'fixes' issues in https authentication, right?
    Apple techs? no help here?

  • Ringtones wont work in text tones section but works in ringtones section??

    im having a problem here.. im using an iphone 4 with IOS 5.0.1, and as we all know...we can customise all of our tones into ringtones and text tones as well.. but have you guys out there encountered an issue which your customised tone works well in your ringtone section(phone calls) but u cant see that particular song in text tone(mesages)?? indeed i have some previously created tones which are usable in text tone section...but recently ive created some new songs which i wanted to put into text tones but i cant see them in text tone list...but i can use them as my ringtone(phone calls)..isnt that weird?? and the funny thing is some tones from my ringtone doesnt make a sound in text tone...i can see that tone but when i selected it..it only rings with the original tri-tone ringtone...anyone out there having the same problem as i do? ** i resynced my tones and musics many times already and its still the same...feelling quite frustrated already** please help

    just found a solution...my previous tones are all the same durations as ringtones which is 40seconds...ive shortened it to 25second and it worked on both sides...

  • Ringtones (stock, NOT custom) no longer work.

    Ok, I searched around, and all i found was hundreds of custom ringtone threads...which dont pertain to this problem. (and I think we need just a few more rebate discussions, there are only about 20 per page).
    Anyway, I ran the first update last week or so (not the second that knocked out the custom ringtone workaround). Anyway since then, I have noticed that my contacts are not ringing with their custom tones. I get the phone-wide generic ringer instead. The weird thing is, not ALL the contacts do this. Some give me the tone I set for them, and some use the standard (one for all non contact incoming calls). Anyway, I just went to check my ringer settings, and now my tones wont play (preview) at all. And yes, the ringer is on, and volume is up (just got a call and all was fine).
    Anyone else having any similar issues?

    Glad that worked for you.  I thought it was the problem because I  had several entries that were grouped too.  I tried deleting the duplicate entries, the whole entry actually, and re-creating it.  Still no luck. I'm having the problem with both ringtones and text tones. I could get it to work in the original release of iOS5 by re-assigning them, but with the 5.1 update, they work only sporadically (which I know makes no sense at all).  Also, in iOS5, in Contacts, the custom tone was reset to default.  In 5.1, the custom tones I've chosen are listed with the contact, but it still plays the default tone.

  • My iphone text tone is not working when I plug in the earphone.

    Hi,
    My iphone text tone is not working when I plug in the earphone.
    My earphone is always plug into the iphone as I use it to answer calls. I notice that iphone does not alert me (sound) when there is a new messages. Instead the text sound is transfer to the earphone speaker.
    As the earphone is plug into the iphone and I am not putting it on always, I need it to still hear the text tone whenever I received new messages.
    Anyone pls help.. the problem still there even I updated..

    hi wjosten
    I don't put the iphone in my front pocket. I put in my bag pack so vibration is not useful to me. Pls help
    The iPhone is working exactly as it is designed.
    Your options are:
    1) Unplug the headset.
    2) Leave the headset plugged in and the earpiece in your ear at all times.
    3) Turn on vibrate and put the phone in your pocket.
    4) Leave feedback for Apple and hope they deem it worthy of their time to fix.
