Classic Man Ringtone

[Magdalena Liendo]

Thanksfor reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! That's an excellent question you have about using the Old Phone ringtone on your device. Check out this article to Use tones and rintones with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The one you are seeking will be found by going to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone. Then scroll to Classic and tap the arrow to see the options for Old Phone.

I just noticed that my classic Apple iphone ringtones from the original set of ringtones that came with the first iOS are no longer available on my Iphone 6s (iOS 10.2.1) The tones seemed to have disappeared a few months ago. They are not on my backup files and not in my itunes Tones folder. Having said that, where can I go to get them back? Ringtones such as the classic Marimba tones are no longer on the phone nor on my itunes on my desktop. Oddly enough, the same goes for my other two iphone and their backups as well.

A restore of the phone will not bring them back- it only brings the current tones (i.e. Aurora) back. Was this some kind of change to the new or latest iOS updates that is removing those older tones? I miss those ringtones. The same goes for all the original alert sounds too. Any help would be most appreciated.

The ringtones on this website are in .mp3 format and is compatible with almost all mobile phones. Download ringtones and use them on Nokia Mobile phones, Samsung, Sony Ericsson phones, LG mobiles, Motorola phones etc...

Ringtones that have been purchased from the iTunes Store cannot be re-downloaded. However, if you have backed them up via iTunes on a Mac or PC, then they can be synced to your new iPhone by following the instructions here:

The ringtone is not in any list of tones as it was one I purchased long ago and was actually on my phone prior to this one. I also have a new computer so it isn't on it either. The ringtone was a police siren which would always get my attention and I purchased one in my apps but have been unable to download it and now I can't even find the most recent one I purchased. I sure would like someone to walk me through recovering it as I am not that well versed in processing the information; guess it's age getting to me.

As I hoped to explain in my previous reply, past ringtone purchases cannot be re-downloaded from the iTunes Store. If the ringtone was not synced to iTunes on a computer, then it also cannot be synced to your new iPhone from there.

It's kind of weird and interesting how ring tones have become iconic and relics of a specific time. I mean, music works that way of course, but in a way, ring tones have become a bit of a time capsule that can evoke specific memories and transport you right back to another time and place.

It's like hearing a song from your youth that you haven't heard in a very long time, or a smell that reminds you of a person or a place. Immediately upon hearing certain ringtones, you think back to the Nokia phone you or your parents had in 2001 or whatever.

This guy encapsulated all of them into one really cool piano arrangement; they're so well embedded into the fabric of what he's playing that I actually had a Pavlovian response, trying to grab my phone. Check it out, it's awesome.

go to your watch , open the app - " myWear File Explorer " ,the files i transferred were at the bottom of all the folders ,not in a folder..... "it is posible to change the destination folder"

I didn't see my custom files on ringtone list even after few restarts. But then I switched in sound settings sound mode from "sound" to "vibration" then to "silent" and again to "sound" and my custom files appeared on a ringtone list. Maybe it will help others too.

3. Found the music file, clicked and hold it to share, then chose galaxy wear. It asked for a permission, clicked yes. I then repeated the step again. Once downloaded watch offers to open it. Ignore that, unless you want to have a listen.

5. Click and hold until it turned blue, clicked the 3 dots. Then cut , then pressed the arrow at top of screen pointing left twice to get to main folder, then went down to ringtone, clicked into the folder then pressed blue tick.

I got it to work. After copying it to the watch I tried restarting it, the notification tone didn't appear, tried to switch to mute, vibration and back to sound, still no luck. Then i went on the Galaxy Wearable app on the phone and went though the different standard tones and the last one, while still showing the standard name, played my custom tone instead. Set it and tried it and my watch now makes the sound of a star trek communicator when a notification plays

:Now its just a matter of going to your galaxy wearable app on your phone, selecting watch settings, sounds and vibrations, selecting either ringtone or notification, and playing each sound option, till your sound file plays.

but i will say this if you have the app on both your watch and phone your 95% there, the rest is above,, and if you can do above and it show's the files in the ringtone folder on your watch,, reboot your watch it should work then as the files on your watch are in the right place.....

These ringtones (files) were recorded in an anechoic chamber with high-quality pro-audio gear (microphones, preamps, A/D converters). The PCM files are 44.1 or 48KHz, 16 bit or 24 bit single channel mono.

Most of the files have the silent pause for a traditional (POTS landline) ring pattern.

Aside from your devices own volume control settings, to increase file's amplitude (louder), peak normalize up to -0.1 dBFS. For noisy environments the Startac ringtones cut through noise and can usually be heard.

If anyone would like these in the iPhone format , convert to thw M4R iPhone format at 'Zamzar.com' or other file type conversion website.

When the service is not responding for too long, the app uses a build-in ringtone. When alarm starts and your phone is locked we are unable to change the playlist or album in your Spotify app. In this case the app will play simply where you last left it.

If you want to set Spotify as an alarm, one ultimate way is to download Spotify as MP3 local file and then transfer it to your phone. You can change the soundtrack any time as you like. Moreover, by doing so, you can listen to the Spotify songs on any device or player without limit.

I got the same issue and figured it out by a workaround. I download Spotify to MP3 by using AudKit Spotify Music Downloader. Then listen to the Spotify local MP3 files offline without opening the Spotify app. Fixed!

Oops! I am wondering whether it is because you forgot to confirm to set a new ringtone. Haha, everything can be possible. Or are you sure that the song you want to choose is allowed to play in ringtone settings? I mean, did the ringtone system recognize your desired song as permitted? Since only MP3, M4A, and some other audio formats are supported, check whether your track is one of those.

If you fail to find the real reason, you can directly go to AudBite and other music converters for help. Hope this can work for you!

Alexander Graham Bell's first useful ringer was ironically a bell that was struck by a solenoid controlled hammer. Fast forward to the iPhone's original "marimba" ringtone, an audio file of a wooden key struck by a mallet. Essentially, the same factors are at play with both ringtones. Both were developed within the limitations of the technology of the time they were presented. Human factors, and the ability of the brain to translate the ringtone as an alert, also played a huge part in the choice.

It was early 2005 and Steve Jobs already had a bad taste in his mouth from the experience he had with Motorola and the partnership that created the Rokr E790 'candy bar' cell phone. This was the first cell phone that included iTunes and the ability to play Apple's copy protected, AAC format audio files. It was a huge human interface disaster that helped fuel Steve to create the iPhone. It also cemented the idea that Apple had to retain 100% control over the hardware and software of any future Apple product.

In 2005, the most popular ringtone in the world was an obscure 1902 guitar riff, the classic Nokia ring tone. Millions of cell phones, up to 1.8 billion times per day, echoed the monophonic and polyphonic version as the default ring tone. Although adequate as a call alert, it was far from ideal, and Steve had a particular dislike for the ringtone. When Apple began the development of what became the iPhone, it was clear that they would use high fidelity audio files and not simple low quality beeps and MIDI ring tones for a lot of reasons. There were cell phones that could play audio files as ringtones, but the process was cumbersome and fraught with challenges. In 2005, the ringtone business was a billion dollar industry with the cell companies as the primary gatekeepers. In the early years, ringtones could cost up to $5 per tone. But the ringtone business was never a focus of Apple when creating the iPhone. They had far more lucrative revenue models in the works.
