Text alerts

is there any way to change the alert for my text messages.  It is the same as my yahoo email and work email.  I would like a different tone or be able to turn off the other email alerts.  Help!!

Open Text icon Menu-Play Notification Sound then choose  the sound from the next menu item.  Same for Gmail.  For the other mail programs I have only found on or off

  • HT201412 iPhone 4S text alerts stop working

    I've have iOS 6 for months. Out of the blue my text alerts stopped working. I've rebooted a few times to no avail. All settings look right. And everything else seems to be working proper.

    Diesel I tend to agree with you there! All other sounds do work and I have the "glass" tone choosen for texting. I was all working fine with the new ios6 which I've had for months. since all other sounds work, I'll be heading to the genius bar at my local apple store. Now if only I'd taken that apple care ....LOL oh well

    I have an Iphone 3gs with software 5.01, and never done the text alert I used to the computer to down load them, expecting the itunes to put them in the correct place, on my phone.
    I I have dropped a clange then I will know next time, but can anyone help me use the said downloads.
    Thanks in advance.
    Derek.

    Select 'tones' under library on iTunes left Pane, do you see your text tones on the right Pane now?
    If they are there, connect your iPhone to your computer, select your iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane, then on the right Pane, select the TONES tab, check the text tones you want to transfer to your phone and click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

  • My 4s lost sound on text alerts, music and keyboard clicks but still plays ringtones and alarm sounds.  Took to Genius Bar but they said never seen anything like it and to buy a new one.  Help please, need fix to get all sound back!

    Lost partial sound, speakers work but keyboard, music, text alert does not except on headphones, please help!

    If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty.  Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

  • No sound on YouTube or text alerts since ios8

    I get no sound from YouTube when clicking from links in Facebook or emails.
    Text alert tones also stop working randomly and it won't play alert tones in sounds settings. Ring tones are fine and I'm not using custom tones.
    Sure a reboot fixes it temporarily but it stops working again after a few messages.
    Any one else having this trouble?

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.
    Did it work before? When did this issue begin to occur? If it works before, system restore can be under consideration.
    Please go into Internet Options>Advanced tab scroll down to Multimedia and make sure that "Play sounds in web pages" is check, click Apply/OK.
    If it is already checked, uncheck it, click Apply/OK then go back and recheck it, click Apply/OK.
    Meanwhile, does the sound work in the following website?
    http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/windows-7/videos-tours.aspx
    Meanwhile, it seems you have two output devices, please go to control panel-> sound->under playback tab, set the other device as default to test
    the issue.
    Best Regards
    Magon Liu

  • How do you use a purchased ring tone as a text alert?

    Bought the yoda ring tone which everyone loves when it goes off. So decided to buy the yoda text alert but can't figure out how to make it the default message alert sound.  Anyone know????  Figured if they sell special ring tones for messaging there must be a way.

    You cannot.  This is not a current feature of iphone.
    You must choose from the provided text tones.  You cannot add any at all.

  • Sound not working for text alert just vibrate

    Sound not working for text alert just vibrate and no sound on keyboard

    I'm having the same problem, it just started today (11/13/2012). 
    Settings > Sounds> Text Tone = Tri-tone
    Lock Sounds = On
    Keyboard Clicks = Off
    The mute button is also in the correct place (ring, not mute).

  • How can I download a new text alert from i tunes?

    I have an Iphone 4, How can I download a new text alert from I tunes?  I can download a ringtone, but not a text alert?

    ok thanks for that, it just seems daft that for such an advanced phone it wont let you do anything as basic as changing a text alert
    on a similar gripe, would you be able to tell me why the bluetooth doesn't appear to work either?

  • Having different ringtones and text alerts for different contacts

  • How to open text app from text alert in iOS 8?

    I have an issue. When I'm in another app and I get a text alert, I have the option to reply or to close. It I click "reply" it does a quick reply box, but you don't have the choice to go directly to the text app. If someone sends you two msgs back to back, you only see the last one, so if you missed #1, you can't see it unless you close the quick reply and manually go to the text app. Is there a way around this? Can you swipe or hold or anything to go from the alert to the text app itself? I'm tearing my hair out here. I like the new iOS 8 aside from this. What if you're browsing Facebook or Twitter while waiting on a text, someone sends two in a row, you only get an alert for the second one, and you can't see the first one unless you close out and go back to the text app. Any help would be appreciated!

    Chris: Thanks for the response. Is there any way you can set up to keep banners up until you dismiss them or will they always disappear? I love my alerts, I just don't like it that I can't go directly to the app anymore..

  • Has anyone had issues with not hearing the text alerts on the iPhone 5?

    hello i have been having issues with my iphone 5 not hearing the text alert tones.it will go from time to time & only hear the vibrating sound, The wired part is all other alerts work fine , just text. 
    Has anyone having this same issue ? Also i noticed sometimes when i text, i'll see some crazy blury lines go across my screen like as i text it will move across any help?

    I have had that issue with no text alert sound and also with calls, no ring for the call but then I got a missed call or voicemail alert. Never had the blurry lines though. Right after I upgraded, the ring changed to a very short version of what I have selected and only rang once, other times not at all. This was a very big problem since I am working from my car most of the day and get a lot of calls and texts.  I did a reset with home button and button on the top as described in a post somewhere here on the forum and the problems stopped. So far so good. Give reset a try!

  • IS there a way to adjust ringer and text alert volumes to seperate volumes?

    Hello,
       Was wondering if there is a way to adjust the volume on text alerts while I'm on the phone talking to someone.  If I am using the phone for a voice call and I get a text or message the alert tone is way too loud and I cant hear the other person speaking. 
    Thanks

    You can mute the text alerts while you're on a call using the mute switch over the volume buttons.

  • Bluetooth mode prevents notification sounds for all items (Text, Alerts, Mail, etc.), except the phone ringer?

    It seems that the use of the iPhone 4 Bluetooth to a phone headset (In this case a hearing aid 'streamer') prevents all other phone option sounds (Text, Alerts, mail, etc.) from working. Is it normal that there is a conflict between the iPhone 4 Bluetooth use and other phone item sound notifications?

    No, iOS does not offer that option. You can offer Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

    Hi,
    I found this on Youtube, 'how to make SMS ringtones for iPhones running iOS 5 or higher without jailbreaking'. It uses a free app called Ringtone Maker. I now have the text alert I wanted.
