Wow! When I added ring tones from one of the apps a couple of years ago, I e-mailed them to my computer e-mail, open them and they went right into the tones area. Then I did a sync tones and every one of the tones I selected are still in my tones folder.
I recently bought about four tones from the store, easy as pie. The unfortunate thing is that I set a tone for a particular contact and it works only some of the time and if it doesn't it reverts to the original ring tone for the phone. I go in and check and the correct tone is selected on the contact and the next time they call it works but then another time it goes back to the marimba sound, which I don't even want to use because everyone else does where I work and spend about 80% of my free time lately, the hospital. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A.

So, this app for example, has an entry in the file sharing section of iTunes. To get there, connect your phone to the PC, bring up iTunes, go to the device where it shows the name of your phone and the battery charge status. Tab until you reach the apps button or tab. Press space to activate it. Now you are in the apps section of your phone. Now, keep tabbing until you get to the list of file sharing apps. Once you reach this list, arrow down until you get to the app which has the files you want to save. In this case, look for the ring tones app. When you reach it with down arrow, tab once and you will see the list of files it contains. If you've downloaded ring tones prior to all this, they will be listed here. Using shift-down arrow, select all the ring tones you want to save to the computer and tab to the save as button. Press space to activate this button and a standard save as dialog will open. You can press shift-tab to see the list of folders. Navigate this to choose which folder you want. I recommend a temp folder called ring tones on your desktop for starters. Giving you the steps on how to create folders and copying and pasting is a bit out of scope for this question, so I hope you feel comfortable in doing this. Once the tones are saved to the folder you want, close iTunes. The next step is for you to copy the ring tone files into the automatically add to itunes folder. Be sure to put just the files there, not the actual folder. Now when you restart iTunes, the ring tones will automagically be added to the library. If you have your iPhone set to sync all ring tones, then they will all be added the next time you sync your phone. If this isn't set up that way, then you will have to tell your phone to sync all tones. -- Raul A. Gallegos I can't live without y?o?u?. TEA.
