How to manage ringtones Timing of what ringtone not syncing iPhone

Does anyone have any idea if there is an app or a way to manage your ringtones in terms of time of the day? During work hours, I would like my ringtone to be a vibrate, or something unobtrusive, since its quiet. However, outside work hours, Id like it to be something more obtrusive so I dont miss it. This is similar to profiles for blackberry users. Any ideas? I dont see anything in settings, but not sure if Im missing something, or if there is an app that would provide this functionality. TIA. 3G

Ring Tones iPhone

Im a new iPhone user and have searched and googled for an answer to my question, sorry if this has been discussed previously. Are music flies the only custom ring tones available to the iPhone? my wife has a LG Spyder and she is able to bluetooth custom ring tones between coworkers (crocking frogs, quaking ducks, etc...). Are similar ring tones available for the iPhone? I realize you can create custom ring tones via iTunes using music files but Im really not interested in that. I run a iMac at home but am synced up at work via Microsoft Exchange.Thanks for your help. iMac Mac OS X (10.5.1)

iPhone sound not working on games 3G

I have the iPhone 3G. The sound for the games worked when I first got the new phone but now it doesnt.. I have done everything I know to get the sound to work (turn up volume, sound settings, etc).. Still nothing..The iPod feature plays sound through the external speakers so I can still listen to my music files. The telephone part works.. Even Pandora will play sound..

Problem updating to 2.2 iPhone 3G

1. I have now updated my Iphone three times. This last update was to 2.2 from 2.1. my Lenovo X300 WIN XP PRO will not finish the installation it just hangs checking the phone. I have to connect the phone to another computer preferably a Mac and then complete the recovery process. I know many others have had this problem. Any hope for a solution?2. The second problem was the most frustrating. After updating to 2.2 my downloaded programs had disappeared. During the software upgrade process it did a successful backup and I restored after updating (otherwise I wouldn’t have had my contact music etc.). The phone seems totally normal and is running 2.2 however my downloaded program is gone.M Petersen Lenovo X300 Windows XP Pro

Custom ringtones for incoming email or message iPhone 3G

Does anyone know if iPhone has a way to change boring ringtones for incoming e-mail or text message to a custom ringtone. I have custom tones that say you have mail or message and would like to change them. I can not find if it is possible to do this. If it is not would apple consider changing that issue as an improvement for upcoming software so all iPhone sounds could be changes or is there a reason they could not be?Thnaks iPhone 3G Windows XP Pro

Please help my itunes just stops during sync but says Sync In Progress iPhone

Ok Ive tried syncing my iphone to itunes and it just says Sync in Progress. It never stops. Now it makes it through the Backing up iPhone portion but as soon as it gets to syncing contacts, it just sits there saying its Syncing contacts with iphone. Now Im not sure why its doing this, this just happened out of nowhere, so Ive even restored the phone twice, once as a new phone and then again with the option it left from restoring it the first time. It syncs the music, apps, and videos when I uncheck everything in the Info tab, such as contacts, calendar, etc. So its something to do with everything in the Info tab. But how do i fix this problem?? = Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.5.5)

questions regarding syncback up iPhone 3G

Hello. Ive recently had some hard drive issues on my laptop, which forced me to reformat my hard drive. my iPhone now thinks I am using a different computer, which I guess means I need to resync and delete everything on it. What a pain...I have some pretty straight-forward questions, and Ive searched the forums looking for answers but havent found any yet, so excuse me if these are asked 1,000 times a day:Will backing up my iPhone really do me any good, in the long run? I guess Im confused about what actually is preserved by doing this.What exactly is lost during a new sync? Will I lose all of my contacts, text messages, and pictures? Or will it just be any music and pictures Ive synced via iTunes? I want to know if I need to type out the numbers and contact info of everything.What about all of my apps? Are they completely gone?Thanks in advance for any help.

Iphone Restore Help Please

I had to do a restore from backup on my iphone today because an app just totally messed up the phone. I restored from back up successfully i think all my info was back on the phone. The only problem is that now, since this is the first time that this has ever happened to me, when i try to sync it wont do anything. For example, i added new music to itunes, my settings are to sync automatically, but it wont do it, i manually have to take the song file and drag it to iphone icon on left hand side of itunes when the phone is connected for it to sync the song to the phone. I also now have to do this with ringtones that i make, and videos. When i go to the music section while iphone is connected and it says automatically sync selected songs, it did give me a message like if you check this, all your videos and songs will be deleteed.

Sync only checked songs and video iPhone

The Help file for iTunes on Syncing media with iPhone has the following entry: Click the tabs (music, Photos, and so on) and select the items you want to sync.To sync only certain items, click Summary, select “Sync only checked songs and video” checkbox, and then click the other tabs and select the items you want to sync. I am confused about this because the “Sync only checked songs and video” checkbox seems redundant in the following sense. Even if this checkbox is NOT selected, iTunes allows me to select the items I want to sync under each tab.If the “Sync only checked songs and video” checkbox is NOT selected, then under the music tab, for example, I would rather expect NOT to be able to select particular items to sync.Can anyone explain this?

New iPhone 3G headphone problem.

HiI recently purchased a iPhone 3G , however i have a big problem with the headphones ( the official ones that come in the box ) , they dont work.......at all.I am using 2.2 firmware. I plugged them into the iphone and tried to turn on music , the music plays through the speaker and nothing comes through the headphones, The same with calls. , I have tried cleaning the headphone jack by putting in and out the headphone jack a few times and rubbing the inside with a needle.I have also tried resetting the iphone , I even restored it through iTunes.I also tested the headphones on a iPod Touch and they work okay so i am guessing its a hardware problem with the iPhone. The only thing i can do is send the iPhone back and get it repaired i guess? or is there anything else i can try?ThanksAlan Medion Windows Vista none

iPhone starts to play on it own 3G

I know there some posts on this earlier, but I could not find the thread. Anyway, twice in the last week, I plugged my headphones in to make a call, but I got a meeting cancellation before I dialed in. After receiving the cancellation, I took the headphones out, and out of the blue, the iPhone just started to play music (not from a playlist, but from all songs).Ive seen posts on this before, porobably sometime last month, and Ill admit, I did not think it happened the way it was described...but now its happened twice to me in the last week.To duplicate the problem, insert headphones (from the home screen), goto Phone, choose keypad, press the home button, remove the headphones. Sometimes it starts to play (othertimes, you can see the play icon briefly before it disappears). Its a strange quirk that I am wondering if others can duplicate.

Ive looked through the discussions and could not find my answer. If you know of a discussion already posted please refer me to that.Question: After buying a song from iTunes is there a statute of limitations governing the songs ability to create a ringtone?None of the songs that I bought before my iPhone can be made into ringtones and songs that I bought a few days ago, which initially I could make into a ringtone, but did not, now can no longer be made into a ringtone.Also, is there any program besides iTunes that can be used to create ringtones from any song?Thank you for any and all help.Message was edited by: Abe MacBook Pro (Early 2008) & Intel Core 2 Duo 20" iMac Mac OS X (10.5.5) 2.4GHz & 2GB Ram

Battery How Long SHOULD It Last iPhone 3G

Well I recieved an iPhone 3G for Christmas, and I LOVE it, but the thing is, the battery *****. Is it normal to have almost no battery after one day of use? It seems like Im recharging every day I use it, and Im wondering if maybe I didnt charge it long enough the first time or something. The main two things I do with my iPhone is text and listen to music. When I say text I mean text, like ALOT. Does texting suck up the battery life? Mac Mac OS X (10.5.6) iMac

Iphone screen wont come on at all

Looking for advice please... my fairly new Iphone screen will not come on at all.I did not drop it, abuse it or hit it. It was working, a coworker came to talk to me, I stopped my music and when I tried to start it again, it would not come on. I pulled out the phone and noticed when I hit the button on the headphones it would not light up screen. I tried the button on the phone but it also does not work.A friend called me maybe 20 minutes later and Whew it came on but when we hung up, it would not longer come on after! I plugged it on the USB port a good 20 times, called myself from an internet phone and it just wont come back on, argh!I removed the screen protector and the sleeve its in but it still will not come on. I removed the SIM card, etc etc etc but no matter what I do there is no life on the screen. If I call from the web, it does ring but thats it.Would anyone have any ideas for me? I have no home phone and the sim card will no longer work in my old phone leaving me phone less. I actually had to drive to a payphone to call a friend, bleh ....I hope this is covered by warranty, the limited warranty thankfully seems to cover this since it appears to be a mechanical defect of the phone itself.Thanks in advance,Phil IPhone 3G

Learning curve on iPhone

To date, I have had an iphone for 3 days now. I have learned how to 1.turn it on and off. 2.make and answer phone calls. 3.make my own ringtones. 4.make and transfer music. 5.convert and transfer moives. 6.install and use apps. 7.Turn on and off wifi for home use and away.( I live outside the true edge and 3g network so I use my wifi at home). 8.set and use passkey code. The phone is now doing what we bought it for. Calls, and entertainment. This is by no means a business machine, it is very expensive fun machine. And when you learn what it can do, and what it can not do, you will have a blast with it. The best feature for me is having wifi, and 3G connections. Now if can only pry it out of my wifes hands so I can play with it. LOL. my last comment is, I have had no problems or complications yet. The leaning curve is high, but knock on wood, no app problems. I have looked on this forum and found hundreds of thousands of posts, but then when you think there are millions of phones out there, its not so bad.

Belkin hub 3 iPhone restores in 2 weeks 3G

I dont know what has changed in the past month, perhaps something in 10.5.6, but if I have my iPhone 3G plugged in through my Belkin 7 port USB hubs (one at home, one at work) Ive irregularly ended up with my phone in a corrupt state that requires I restore. The phone works great, has all apps, but has no music and iTunes throws up an error every time it connects, even connecting directly, stating I need to restore the phone so I can no longer sync.It doesnt seem to appear if Im directly connected to my AlMacBook. Needless to say, Im not all that happy with my Belkin hub, but AFAIK there arent higher-quality hubs out there and Im not in the mood to buy a bunch of hubs only to end up with more lemons (Apple, business opportunity! How about 5v isolated power to each USB port? Something Ive not seen yet on a hub. Id love to drive my USB HD directly off the hub but my Belkin doesnt provide reliable power.)Anyways, wondering if other folks are seeing the same problem, or if my iPhone is having some odd issue that I should take into the Apple Store, or if I should just shut up and plug my phone in directly. :^) iPhone 3G 16GB Mac OS X (10.5.6) Aluminum MacBook

ringtone not copied to iPhone Issue 3G

I bought a ringtone compatible track from iTunes today on my laptop. Made my ringtone, bought it, downloaded it to the same authorized account laptop. Went to synch my iPhone to upload it. I get the message (Track) was not copied to (your) iPhone because you are not authorized to play it on this computer. my laptop IS one of my authorized accounts (3 of 5). Confirmed by the ringtone I bought on the same laptop & downloaded with no issue the night before. I deauthorized the computer, then re-authorized it. I restarted both the laptop & and iPhone (G3). Same thing. I had the same track already in my iTunes library from years previous from the original CD. So I deleted it, thinking perhaps it was interfering with the newly purchased track. Restarted everything & tried synching again. Same issue-no go. Help please. MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.6) iMac G5
