Why is an iOS alert tone called "Minuet" when it isn't?

Somebody in iOS programming should have had a bit more musical training before naming alert tones after musical forms.The "Minuet" alert tone is NOT a minuet! It's nearer a tango. Minuets are in "3" and the iOS "Minuet" alert tone is in "4." Ouch. Apple should be ashamed of having made such a blunder.

Seems like a pretty trivial matter, but if this really bugs you, you can comment to Apple on the issue here:

  • Why do my purchased alert tones keep disappearing from my iPhone6?

    I've been buying a few fun alert tones from the iTunes store and they work fine until I turn my phone off. When I turn it back on the tones are gone and they aren't available in the list of sounds when I go to reconfigure. What's going on?!

    Not sure, but I have read a number of posts here and no one seems to have an answer. You might want to contact iTunes support to ask them. If you get any satisfaction, I know there would be a number of people interested in your answer. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Why does  the iMac quit after 90 minuets when listening to iTunes on Apple TV

    RSS

    I have this same issue, even after new iTunes (12.01.26) and upgrading to Yosemite – iTunes plays nicely for about an hour, then stops and the iMac reverts to the log-in page. Under Energy Saver, Computer Sleep (Never) and Display Sleep (1HR). I have changed the last setting to different times but no joy. Does anyone have a good suggestion for this anomaly?
    Found this text in the help file:
    Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off
    Select this option if you want your display to sleep and your computer to stay awake.
    HOWEVER, this option does not show up under the Energy Saver on my iMac (27in. Mid-2011)
    Anyone?

  • Why does TimeMachine say the disk is full when it isn't?

    Hello!
    A lot of my backups recently have been failing because TimeMachine says the disk is full, when that simply isn't true. As of right now, I have 1.18 TB available of
    2 TB. Why do my backups fail even when sufficient space is there?
    Thank you so much in advance!!!
    -Professor AR

    This main explanation is here.
    OS X Yosemite (10.10)
    This is pretty much equivalent to kids talking to each other on tin cans over a wet string.
    The TM in Yosemite is also exceedingly bug infested.
    The best solution for now..
    1. Use ethernet instead of wireless to do backups.
    2. If you upgrade installed Yosemite a clean install might improve it.
    3. Using local disk (USB drive plugged in for example) can be a huge improvement over networks and wireless.
    4. If you continued the backup from the old OS, wipe the TC disk and start over a new TM backup. (you can archive the old one if you want to maintain the history).
    5. Use an alternative to TM until apple get their act together.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper etc.

  • Why does "Download this video" keep popping up when there isn't even a video on the page?

    I just closed 3 tabs in a row and "Download this video" was on the screen even on the fourth tab until I moved the pointer down onto the page to close it manually, it went out before I got there. Sometimes I have to chase it until I can hit the "x", then it stays off for a while.

    Sounds that you have an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • New Mail Alert Tone no longer working

    I didn't change any settings and in my preferences, it's still set for the new mail alert tone to sound when I get new mail. However, as of yesterday, it's no longer working. I still get the sound when I send mail out, just not when new mail comes in. How do I fix this?
    Thanks,
    Carole

    Ok, this is weird. This morning my new mail alert tone started working again. I have no idea what made it stop, or what made it come back on.

    Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
    If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

  • TS4185 Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

    Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

    On a Mac computer the Facetime ringtone is VERY weak, even with the volume turned up. If you have your audio level adjusted to a normal level you may not hear it. A number of people have complained about it on this Facetime for Mac forum. On my iPad the alert tones when receiving a FT call is much more robust.

  • Purchased iTunes alert tones intermittently working.Please help. I'm on iOS 8 with 6 plus phone.

    Purchased iTunes alert tones intermittently working. Initially they worked and now occasionally work. They are there and alert tone can be seen/heard and is set to it but keep hearing the standard message alert tone. Please help. I'm on iOS 8 with 6 plus phone. Thanks.

    It is working through your iPhone 6 through the Continuity feature. This allows any device that is logged in to your Apple ID and connected to the same WiFi network to make and receive calls through your iPhone. If this is not useful to you go to the settings for Facetime and turn off iPhone cellular calls.

  • Why cant i use a bought call-tone bought through I-tones for calling tones for just one of my contacts?

    Why cant i use a bought call-tone bought through I-tones for calling tones for just one of my contacts?

    What makes you believe that you can't? To set a custom ringtone (or SMS tone) for a contact, go to that contact entry, tap the Edit button in the upper right. You can then edit both ringtones and SMS tones for that contact.

  • In incoming call, why iphone 4S (ios 7.04) sometimes gives option to decline the call and sometimes not?

    In incoming call, why iphone 4S (ios 7.04) sometimes gives option to decline the call and sometimes not?

    Try to do this experience.
    Ask a person with a block phone to call you and the option to reject doesn´t appear. Try with a non-blocked phone and the option of reject appears.
    I think it´s an iOS 7 problem.

  • Why mp3 songs can't make it as alert tones for tex...

    Hey Nokia, why is your lumia phones can't put mp3 songs as alert tones for text messages? This is a big problem on your lumia phones because we missed a lot of text messages because your built in alert tones is not enough to catch our attention when we have a incoming text messages especially in a noisy environment. All the other brands of smartphones including the dumbphones are capable of having mp3 songs as alert tones for text messeges. Please do something about this.
