Trying to change ringtones for contacts but still goes to default ringtone

Hello,
I have been trying for a frustrated 6 hours to try and get this to work.
I am trying to change a contact ringtone to something other than the default tone. I have gone into the contact and changed it manually from there and still no luck. It shows that it is changed but when I get a call from that contact it plays the default phone ringtone. I have tried everything from a soft reset, to a hard boot to even restoring all my default settings and still no change!
If anyone can help me out it would very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Amy

Make sure you do not have duplicate entries in multiple groups. Changing the entry in one group does not change it in the other groups. I had duplicate entries in my Google Contacts group & the 'All on My iPhone' group. I would change the entry in the Google Contacts group and not the 'All on My iPhone' group & when the call came in, the setting in the 'All...' group was used, even tho' I didn't have it selected to be displayed. I ended up deleting the 'All..' entries and also deselecting the Sync Contacts setting in iTunes under the Info tab.

What happened to individual ringtones for contacts?

Lost mine in one of the recent upgrades. Is there a way to get them back?

My phone continiously loses the ringtones that I set for some of my contacts. It goes to default ringtone from these in the phone. I change it back to my ringtone melody for this contact, but it does not save it. Please propose some solutions, because it is really annoying. Thank you

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

Thanks! Actually, by trying another wifi site we have here at home, I was able to give it another try. For us though, it seems we have an internet problem unrelated to the ipad. We'll have to figure that out.

I have just installed iTunes for the first time. When I run the application I get a "iTunes not working" message. Operating system Vista (32 bit). I have tried reinstalling with all firewalls off, but still no success. Have other people had this problem?

My phone doesn't ring when someone is calling, but the sound works otherwise, like the alarm etc. I have tried to fix it in settings but still not working. anyone else have this problem?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

IPhone 4: Setting different ringtones for contacts not working.

I can't add personal ringtones for each contact. I have followed all contact editing info to the letter, yet I still only get the same one ringtone for each contact (the default ringtone I set for the phone). Setting different ringtones for text messages works fine, but not for telephone contacts. Is this feature broken? Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks.

It happened to me also when I first added specific ringtones to contacts, but just turning the phone off/on fixed it for me. You can try a reset also if that doesn't work (hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the Apple logo comes up)

Sounds like you have a "damaged track" or "damaged file".
This worked for me today downloading Kendrick Lamar's new Album "good kid, m.A.A.d city".
My situation: I bought the album today for my Mac, MacBook Pro, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S devices.
Issue: One song (only on my MacBook Pro) would not play, instead display "
EX: left"
Solution: 1. Manually delete the song (giving you the error) permantly from the authorized computer.
2. Open iTunes, Click iTunes Store (left sidebar), and locate Quick Links and then click Purchased to proceed.
3. Click "Not On This Computer", find the song that wouldn't play, and re-download it again.
4. Check your Music Library for your song (Should download inside the associated album) and hit play.
EX: (Song I purchased that wouldn't play because of authorization, playing)
Enjoy!

This is what worked for me. Turned off icloud on iphone and computer. Logged into my icloud account at icloud.com via my web browser and deleted all of my contacts and calendars. I was then able to select selected contacts and selected calendars in iTunes.
