Why does my iPhone 6 Plus alert me with the wretched tri-tone for everything instead of the sounds I designate?

In my settings, under Sounds, I assigned purposefully a tone for each type of alert. But none of them work. When I get a tweet alert, I hear the tri-tone. When I get a Facebook alert I hear a tri-tone. I hate the tri-tone! What do I need to do to get my iPhome to alert me with the tones i designate to each type of alert?

Did you use those 3rd party apps on an older iPhone and restored the new iPhone from that backup? If yes, maybe reinstalling the apps will help.
I had a similar problem changing the sound for Whatsapp, until I found that there are extra settings within the app.
Did you try only one other sound or multiple options? Maybe only sounds from the time before iOS 8 are working with FB and Tweet.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?

  • Why are there no iPhone 6 battery cases with a lightning input port for charging instead of a micro USB?

    Why are there no iPhone 6 battery cases with a lightning input port for charging instead of a micro USB?
    Does it have something to do with the MFI certification? Is micro USB just cheaper?
    I don't want to have to carry around another cable and it seems like this would be a good product. What am I missing?

    Valid point.
    So can I ask why there are no MFI certified lightning female ports on battery cases? Or more so, does this certification even exist?
    And why not?
    This is a user-to-user technical support forum. There is no one here from Apple to answer "why". Again, I would recommend contacting the manufacturers or use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to contact Apple directly.
    I suspect that manufacturers may view the more standard microUSB charging port as a selling point. Those types of cables are cheaper and ubiquitous.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's ability to download emails or connect to the Internet?  I can power it off at when I restart I can send and receive but after awhile all I get is it trying to connect.

    Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's connection to download emails or go onto safari?  If I power down the phone and restart it then it will connect but shortly after it will loose the connection and then just shows connecting in email or in safari unable to connect to the Internet 

    I'm guessing it's more likely a problem with your carrier's 3G network in the area. You shouldn't have to modify any settings for 3G to work consistently on a supported carrier.
    You can try turning off 3G data, with will switch over to Edge if it exists. If it does, it will be much slower than 3G, but I suppose faster than 0 is better than 0.
    I'd contact your carrier about it.

  • Why does my iPhone say can not sign in when trying to download an app

    Why does my iPhone 4 say can not sign in when trying to download an app

    Perhaps the account information is incorrect. Make sure that you are using the proper App store credentials.
    If you forgot your password, you can easily recover or reset it using iForgot. For security reasons, Apple cannot reset your password for you. To protect yourself against unauthorized purchases to your credit card, do not give out your password to anyone.
    NOTE: If you attempt to sign in to the Apple Online Store numerous times with the wrong password, you will see the following error message: “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." To reset your account, use iForgot. 

  • Why does my iphone have duplicate songs with an icon?

    Recently I've noticed something on my iPhone.  Maybe it's been there all along, who knows.  But here's the deal: if I buy an album on iTunes for Mac, and sync my iPhone, the album on he phone looks bizarre:
    As you can see, there's a duplicate of each track, with a circle icon.  If I try and play this circle icon, it tells me I need to be connected to WiFi or something.
    Points of note:
    1. Under "Store" in the iPhone settings, I've turned off automatic downloads of everything.  I found that if this was enabled, my iPhone would download new music and would get a second copy sync'd by iTunes.  Fail for iTunes/iPhone recognising the same album I guess..?
    2. Every so often, my iPhone is now asking me for my Apple ID password - no special reason I can see,it just pops up and asks me.  This might be related.
    3. I haven't purchased/turned on iTunes Match anywhere (iCloud).
    I'm wondering if it's got spectacularly confused somewhere, if it thinks maybe it should be streaming this album from my Mac, or downloading it from the Store, even if it's already got a copy.
    How can I make it stop?  It's annoying in the extreme.  Sure, it's not as bad as not having food on the table, pretty much a first world problem,but not what I'd expect from the thing.  I'm happy to blow the device away and restart it as a fresh iPhone, not quite sure how to do that, but I'm open to all suggestions that might show how to fix the problem.
    Thanks

    i wondered the same thing.
    You have to go to the "Restrictions" page of your device's Settings and make sure "iTunes" is turned on. 
    This is why it only happened on my children's iPods and not on mine. 
    The reason a full restore works is that it resets all your passwords and allows everything automatically until you reset the restrictions again. 

  • Why does my Iphone 5 alert my text messages after I have already read them?

    I recently got an iPhone 5 about a month ago and for the first two weeks it was running perfectly but lately I have noticed a few issues with it and the biggest one being that my phone delays the alert of my text messages. For example, I could be on my phone and the badge saying I have a text message will show up but my phone won't ring or create a banner until minutes after I have already read the message and moved on. I'm wondering if this is a data usage problem on my part or something along those lines, or if it's just a malfunction of the phone. (Note: I have only used 4 GB of my phone and have about 9GB left) Any help regarding my issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    This problem is usually carrier related. Contact the carrier.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s randomly disconnect with airplay?

    I have tried using two different wireless routers but no luck. I have my Apple TV hardwired in to my router and when using an iPhone 4s on AirPlay it will randomly stall/disconnect. When this happens the airplay option usually goes away for a bit and then comes back. I have used it over a Motorola wifi with wireless g speeds, then I plugged it in to a wireless n Dlink network, and same issue. I've also tried more than one iPhone, relocated the modem so there is nothing but about 10 feet of air between the modem and the phone, and still have the issue. Interestingly enough, the iPad 2 does fine. Any ideas?

    The multi task bar as you call it does not show apps that are running but rather shows recent apps that you have used.  These apps do not use bandwidth because they are not running. Check your notifications to see which apps might be sending information because they might be using data.  The native apps that came with the phone periodically use data and there is nothing that you can do about that

  • Why does my iPhone 5c only charge with certain chargers ?

    My phone 5c only charges with certain iPhone 5 chargers. My charger broke and I bought a new original apple charger but it didn't work. The charger functioned fine with my friends iPhone but not with mine, I plugged my phone to her charger and it charged fine ? This is happening with my cousins iPod as well. What's the problem ?

    Probably dirt or pocket lint in the Lightning connector on the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a wood or plastic toothpick.

  • Why does my iPhone 6 pop up with this message?

    Hey so I got my new iPhone 6 in the mail yesturday and i'm having trouble actually getting the phone started. Whenever I try signing in to activate my phone it comes up with this message after i enter my billing zip code and my SSN. Verizon Wireless was unable to verify your identity using the information you entered. I do everything right but it won't let me activate my iPhone. I am using the same phone number as my previous phone. I've called apple and they hooked me up with a senior advisor then they hooked me up to verizon and they didn't help me at all. The SIM card is in the iPhone and my phone on verizon is already linked I just need to get the iPhone activated. Did anyone else have this similar problem?

  • Why, when I successfully connect to Server 2012 Essentials R2 via Anywhere Access does the Remote Desktop Connection use the self signed certificate for RDP instead of the SSL certificate I installed when I set up access anywhere?

    Scenario:
    Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials
    I purchased an SSL Cert from GoDaddy and I managed (after some challenges) to set up Anywhere access to use that new SSL Cert. I to rebooted the server and I am able to login to Anywhere Access vis https (using the SSL certificate) from PC, Mac and iOS.
    So far so good.
    The problem I am having is that when I click to launch a remote desktop connection to the server RDP connection wants to use the self signed SSL certificate of the server rather than the SSL Certificate I installed into Anywhere Access. As a result, I get
    a security warning like this: "The identity of the remote computer cannot be verified. Do you want to connect anyway?"
    The name in the certificate appears as ACME-SERVER.ACMEDOMAIN.local  instead of the SSL Certificate I installed, which is
    remote.acmedomain.com
    If I lick to accept, RDP does work fine, it;s just using a self signed certificate. I want it to use the trusted certificate that I purchased and installed.
    My guess is that there must be an additional step to tell Anywhere Access that when it generates the RDP session that it should use the cert? OR, is this just how it works?

    Because....
    the server does not have a 'trusted' certificate assigned to it.
    Only the RDP Gateway has the trusted certificate for the external name.
    If you want to remove that error, you have to do one of the following:
    Make sure your domain uses a public top level domaim, and get a public trusted certificate for your server.
    So, something like,
    server.domain.publicdomain.com
    Or,
    Install that certificate on your remote computer so it is trusted.

  • Why does my iphone not alert me of a text message while the screen is locked?

    Ever since i updated my phone to iOS6, when my phone is locked it will not vibrate or ring when i recieve a text message but if my phone is unlocked it will. how do i fix this

    After I installed iOS6 my phone doesd the same thing. Personally, I don't like having my messages show up in the lock screen and with iOS5 I never had this issue. I have noticed that I don't get an alert when I leave my phone with the messages window open and the phone is in sleep mode. However, when I leave my phone on the home screen and it is in sleep mode, I do get an alert tone. More times than not, I end up leaving my phone with the messages window open. Does anyone know of a way for it to work like it did before? Thanks for the help!

  • Why does my iphone 6 have problems with wifi no matter what network I am on?

    It doesnt matter what network I am connected to.  I will have connection issues or dropped signal strength.  My phones wifi strength will go from 433 Mb/s ac to 72 Mb/s n.  Yet on my ipad Air 2, iphone 5s, apple TV and mac mini there are no problems.  I have had this phone for less then 4 days and I had to return 2 other phones with the same problem.  I have reset it many times as told in some of the apple communities with the same problem.  Is it the phones iOS or what?  How do I fix this?

    Try going to Settings> General > reset> Reset Network Settings
    then reconnect to your wifi then  see if the issue persists, if it does, make sure you are testing this on other wifi networks, if the issue persists, call into applecare and set up repair.
