Using song for text tone on ipad

Can I set a song on my iPad as a text tone?

Actually you can. It took me 10 minutes first time and you need to use itunes on Mac or Windows to create one. Remember that you can't use more then 5 seconds of the song for alert.
Here are instructions.

  • Using ringtone as text tone

    I have read a bit about this but cannot find the exact information I seek.  I purchased a ringtone several days ago. It has uploaded into iTunes and is listed there as a tone. On my actual iPhone, it is listed and selectable only as a ringtone. I wish to use this tone for texts.  It is already an AAC set to .m4r and is only 9 seconds in length. My question is how can I get this tone to show up as a selection for text tones on my iPhone?

    Yes, the only way to do this is to jailbreak your iPhone. I personally do not want to do that, though I very much wish that Apple would allow for customization of this via the configurations or a third party app.

  • Is it possible to sent a text tone from iPad to iMac?

    I have am using the same text tone on my iPad and iPhone. Is is possible to send it to the iMac to be used with iMessages?
    Thanks

    Not with the current iOS.  I am using Dragon Dictation and after the text is created you have an option to send as an email or a text message as well as copy,  send it to twitter and facebook.  The app is free and works really well.

  • I bought some ringtones and alerts from itunes and it won't let me use them for text alerts or voicemail.

    I bought some ringtones and alerts from itunes and it won't let me use them for text alerts or voicemail. Am I doing something wrong? Other ringtones I have downloaded work.

    What does won't let you use them mean exactly?

  • Cannot use ring tones for text tones anymore

    I have been told that I can no longer use my ring tones that I have purchased as text tones, which irritates me because that is the main reason I purchased them.  But it is true, if you put them with a contact and they text you, you hear nothing.  Is there any way to fix that.
    Question  # 2  Why are my text tones now a lot softer than they used to be.  I can't hear them most of the time, so when I look at my phone I have tons of texts and I didn't even know it.  I keep it right next to me also, so it is not like it is in another room.  That is one reason I liked the music tones for the texts because I knew it was different and could hear.  Now they are all little delicate tones that nobody can hear and I can't figure a way to turn them up.  The phone is turned up all the way.  Plus they said now I have to purchase alert tones to use for my texts and I looked and the selection *****.  Mostly dispicable me and stuff like that.  I am a 56 year oldl woman and I don't want star wars, and that sort of stuff on my phone.  Help please if you can.  Please let me know as I do not check the communities often.  I usually get lost.
    Thank you

    You cannot customize the text or e-mail ringer.

  • Using song as alarm tone

    I have a Nokia 6710 Navigator. I have downloaded an mp3 onto my phone, which I want to use as my alarm tone. I have selected the song as my alarm tone, and at the set time the song begins playing.
    My issue is that, when playing as an alarm, only 1 minute of the mp3 plays.
    Is it possible to change the settings so that the whole mp3 file plays (approx 3 minutes) when I'm using it as an alarm?
    Thank you for your help

    So could anybody tell me then what length limitations the phones have?
    1 minute for the alarm, for the regular ringtone "unlimited" (e.g. a song with 5:00 length)?
    Is there any website with specifications/requirements for customisations/custom files (wallpaper/tehem/tone/etc.)?
    regards
    Pete

  • How to use songs for ringtones like prior to ios7?

    Prior to the iOS7 upgrade, I had 'custom' ringtones assigned to my contacts.  The custom tones were ringtones that I created.  When I upgraded, those were all removed from my contacts.  I can't figure out how to get them back.  I have verified that my ringtone files are still on my iphone..but I just can't figure out how to access them.  The only option is to use the apple provided ringtones or buy them via the store. 
    Any ideas?

    Hello gawoodruffs
    I would recommend re-syncing your iPhone with iTunes. Ensure that they are on there. Then they should all be grouped towards the top by the Buy Ringtones and Default ringtone area.

  • Character Encodings when using Streams for Text

    hi there,
    i have a table with a key column (ordinary varchar) and a text column (memo field in ms access, connection is done via the jdbc2odbc bridge). if i read the stuff with ResultSet.getAsciiStream() everything is fine, i.e., printing the resulting strings looks ok. then i use this method to read it and write it into a second table with the same structure but using PreparedStatement.setCharacterStream(). now i read from the second table using ResultSet.getCharacterStream() and print the strings. but now they seem garbled. something with the text conversion must have gone wrong. i never set any character encoding so the encodings should all be default.
    any ideas?
    robert

    Can you confirm that the data has been stored to the
    second table correctly?
    Ie, is it getCharacterStream or setCharacterStream
    that's causing the problems?that's difficult to answer: if i use the access interface to look into both tables they look alike. especially the target table looks ok.
    but if i read the data with getCharacterStream() i get something that looks as if this had happened: during storing with setCharacterStream() for every character there seem to be two bytes stored in the table. after reading the output looks like every second character was ok and every other character seems garbled. so it looks like on reading not two bytes in the database made a character but only one so every second byte becomes crap.
    unfortunately there is neither method in Reader that allows for setting the encoding nor is there a variant of getCharacterStream() that accepts an encoding parameter. (the same holds for setCharacterStream(); plus, if i create a StringReader there is no way to set the encoding.)
    do you have still any ideas?

  • Shorten ringtones for use as text tones

    I recently purchased a ringtone that I would very much like to use as a text tone... the problem is, the short little sound I would like to use as a text tone repeats four times, which I find to be a little excessive. I'm on a very basic LG Cosmos without even a touch screen - is there any way I can shorten this tone or am I SOL?

    Well if it was a Smartphone you could use a App called  Ringdroid but with this be a Basic Device i'd say the Ringtone you chose you pretty much have to go with the way it Rings. I know even on my Razr Maxx some of the ringtones i have Chose have a More than once Repeating tone.. Hope that helps some.. B33

  • How do I remove my personal text msgs from appearing on my new iPad.  Rec for Christmas didn't realize texts appeared on iPad, changed settings, new ones didn't appear but old ones still on it.

    New iPad showing my iPhone texts, changed settings new texts stopped but old ones still appear on iPad .  It is a family iPad and don't want kids to see text from adults even g rated, glad they didn't see Christmas texts with present pictures and questions from relatives.

    As far as I know, deleting the messages on the iPad should not affect them on the iPad. I delete messages on one device and it doesn't affect the messages on the other device since they are stored locally on the device. And ... I am using my iPhone number as the contact address on both devices,
    You can create another ID for texting on the iPad, but it's not an absolute must. You just need to use your Apple ID email address, or any other working email address for that matter - as the contact at address on the iPad for texting. As long as you use the iPhone number on the phone and the email address on the iPad, texting paths shall never cross.
    this should be of some help.

    The iPad doesn't have any text over cellular capabilities. You can use apps like Text Free to send texts to non-iOS devices, though.
