Sync custom ringtone info to OSX contacts

I notice whenever I have an issue with my iPhone and it needs a reset, I have to manually enter in my saved ringtones and text tones that I assign to each person. I am wondering why doesn't OSX contacts save this information?

Ringtones must be 40 seconds or less. Had same problem.

Syncing Custom ringtone and Itunes Match.

So - tried all the above and ringtone shows up Grey in the pone tones folder but when I check the SYNC select tones box and try to sync I get an errro telling me my phone is set to sync with a different library...help please.

From a different post, I tried this. I set my phone to the sounds page (selected the ringtone at the top), and watched as it went through the sync. At one point in the sync it would bring the sound page back up and my custom ringtones would be there. Then, it would go back to sync, and they'd be gone. I've now been disconnecting the cord when I see the ringtones come up, and they've stayed every time, including keeping their link to their contacts.
This is frustrating, because I even lost my purchased ringtones. When they were the only ones I'd try to sync, it still wouldn't work without unplugging after the first sync screen went away on the iphone.
I tried a restore of my iphone and a repair of itunes. If I used makeiphoneringtoes, it would work, but I'd like my ringtones to show in itunes since I purchased from them.

SYNC Issues -losing info in Outlook Contacts

I am losing info entered into Contacts-Outlook when I sync
with iphone. How do I need to fix ? Any process to recapture
whatever info I have lost?

Hi,
Are you using a Gmail account on both Outlook PC client and on the phone? Is it an IMAP account?
Since you mentioned it also occurs to your phone, have you tried to logon the Gmail webmail to check the account status? If new emails sent to the account don't show up on the phone, it's not isolated to Outlook then, we need to contact the Gmail support
to get this issue addressed.
For the emails missing issue, I suggest you just open the .pst file instead of importing it. In Outlook 2013, go to FILE tab -> Open & Export -> Open Outlook Data File -> Browse to the .pst file and open it. It should then be displayed
in the account list on left. Check if the emails are still missing.
If you can confirm you included the emails in 2014 but they are still nowhere in sight, they may be filtered by the Outlook View. Run Outlook with the switch "/cleanviews" to check whether the emails are shown:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /cleanviews" in the blank box, press Enter. Outlook will reset default view, all custom views will be lost.
Let me know if you have further questions.

I have synced by I-phone to I-tunes to sync custom ringtones but they do not show up on I-Phone. They are in the syncing que in I-tunes but not on phone. Can someone help here.

I am having problems syncing the I-Phone ringtones from I-tunes to the I-Phone. These are custom ringtones and they do show up in the I-tunes ringtones and syncing seems to work but they are not on the I-Phone?

1. CC 2014 uses different folder for CEP extensions. If you installed both CC apps and CC 2014 apps, Extension Manager CC will install CEP extensoins to both "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions" and "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions". Please check if you can find your extensions in the latter folder.
2. Flash based extensions are no longer supported by PS CC 2014. So if some of your extensions are Flash based, even if they are installed to the folder above, PS CC 2014 will not load them. You have to install their HTML based counterparts. Refer to

Sync custom ringtone onto iPhone - without syncing to iTunes

I do not sync my iPhone 5 to my iTunes on my MBA. Whenever I plug in my iPhone into iTunes, it asks if I want to set up a new iPhone or restore from a nonexistent backup. So I cannot get the ringtone I made in GarageBand onto my iPhone by syncing my iPhone with my iTunes. All software on both devices is fully up to date. With all that in mind, how am I supposed to get my ringtone onto my iPhone?

You can't get the ringtones on your phone without syncing to iTunes.
Is this the first time you've synced with iTunes?

Classic - text ringtones work for one contact but not for others

Just got the new Blackberry classic. I'm having trouble with the ringtones for the text messages. The custom ringtone works for one contact but not for the others. I have taken the same custom ringtone that works for contact A and used it for contact B but it only works for A. B sounds the default ringtone from the default profile instead of the custom ringtone.
I have deleted all contacts and done a re-sync thinking something was corrupt. That didn't work.
None of the contacts have a link.
I have changed the notification profile and it still doesn't work.
I have deleted a contact and recreated it manually. It still doesn't work.
I finally deleted my dad's contact and from the phone app created a new contact. I set a custom ringtone for him and it worked. I of course had to recreate all his other information manually. Please tell me there is some other way to fix this than recreating manually all 147 contacts in my contact list.
I read that if the phone number has the hypen or space it won't work, but my dad's contact info that I created from the phone app has the hypen and it rings with the custom ringtone. Also contact A has no hypen in the phone number and it rings the custom ringtone. So that didn't seem to matter.
I have spent hours on Google and see that lots of people have had this problem (but not everyone) but have not yet found a solution.
Surely someone has found a fix for this issue.

Make sure that the contact has "Mobile" as the field for her number and not "iPhone".
Note that the iPad cannot send SMS messages.

Custom Ringtones

I'm having an issue with my custom ringtones assigned to my contacts. The custom ringtone does not work when the contact that I have assigned the custom ringtone calls. I get the general ringtone that I use for all other calls. I have tried deleting the contact and reentering it and assigning the custom ringtone again but still nothing. I have even tried pulling the battery out after entering in the contact and custom ringtone but still nothing. I don't have caller ID from my wireless carrier, Rogers, but I was told I don't need it to make the custom ringtones work. I even called Rogers but they were no help. Can someone pleas give me some advice on how to fix this issue?
Thanks

You may have an issue with your Sounds/Profiles database. Try clearing it and setting up all notifications again manually then testing the custom ringtones again. http://bbry.lv/lsuQXK

Custom Ringtone issue

I know I saw a thread on this a few weeks ago, but I am unable to find it. When I sync custom ringtones to my iphone it always takes one of them and makes it the ring tone for all of the custom ones I have.
For example I make ring tone one then sync it to the iphone it works fine.
then I create a new garage band project and create ring tone two then sync it.
When i look in my i phone ring tone two is listed twice and ringtone one is gone. I delete them then resync now ringtone one is listed for both custom ringtones. This is really odd. I have done the hard reset and am doing a restore now just to see if it will fix it. If it doesn't what else can I try?

Try this: Deselect the "Manually manage music" option on the iPhone Summary tab in iTunes then go to the "Sync" tab and turn on the options to sync music and ringtones, and finally click the "apply" button. This will generally allow all ringtones to properly transfer. You can then turn "Manually manage music" back on

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.

I assigned specific custom ringtones to specific contacts on my iPhone 4. When I sync my new iPhone 5, will those contacts automatically still have those ringtones assigned to them, or will I have to go into each contact and manually reassign them again?

Just wondering if it's possible to sync iPhone 5 in a way that automatically keeps my contacts from my iPhone 4 with the same custom ringtones. Or will I have to re-assign them all manually?

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Syncing contacts on an iPhone removes custom ringtones for a contact

I kept noticing that my custom ringtones regularly vanished on my iPhone 3G. This article explains why:

This is a nuisance. Any idea when Apple will fix it?

Mine are usually fine - it's only when I do a sync history reset that I lose them

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?

Plz someone help I made custom ringtones and when I try to put them in my iPhone 4 it hey appear gray on iTunes and won't go on my phone and I tried syncing it don't help what do I do???!!!

The ringtone file format is m4r. You can create ringtone from any of your music file in your iTunes Music library.
Follow steps as follow:
1. Right mouse click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
2. Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” n Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
3. Right mouse click the music file again and choose “Create AAC Version”
4. You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
5. Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
6. Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
7. *Important - Now uncheck the start n stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
8. Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
9. Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
Note: Just in case you cannot "Create AAC version" from Step 3, go to top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
Once you have ringtones in Tones library, you can sync ringtones over by connecting your phone to PC, select iPhone under Devices on iTunes left Pane, then go to 'Tones' tab and check SYNC TONES as well as the ringtones. Click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

How to move iPhone contact list with custom ringtones to OS X server Contacts?

I have recently setup a new Mac Pro, Mid 2012, running Mavericks OS X Server. I was previously syncing through iTunes on Snow Leopard, 10.6...
Due to the changes in Mavericks WRT iTunes address book syncing, I want to setup Contacts in Server, as I do not want to use iCloud. I tried using the Address Book sync on my MacBook Pro, but that doesn't appear to save any custom ringtone data. I setup Contacts in Server & I moved the current address book to Mavericks, but dragging the contacts into the Server list in Contacts generates warnings, "Some contacts could not be copied to the server" and then sometimes starts duplicating the groups and contacts. The system log has some errors that seem related (system & user munged):

So the question is:
How to does one move or import iPhone contact list with custom ringtones to OS X server Contacts? ... and will Contacts save/preserve the ringtone settings?
Thanks

lsof is the standard tool for listing open files, although I'm not quite sure it'll do what you want.
It will list every open file used by every process on the machine, including many you don't expect. I don't know how it will present files opened by network users - whether they'll appear as owned by the file sharing process or not at all. Definitely one to try.
