Re: Ringtones in Mac's Contacts
That is the conclusion I arrived at too. That will not be helpful if I am on the Mac with iPhone in pocket and a call comes in and I hear two completely different sounds. That explains why I was thrown for a loop one day. Sighs. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.
