Ringtone Duplication Bug

I searched and can't find anything on this. I don't have much time to look any longer so I'll post very fast:

I made many many ringtones in GarageBand and exported to Ringtones.
I then synced, and or (every way possible) added them all to my phone.
But when I go to view my ringtones on my phone, they're all the same file. Same name, same tune, same exact file.

I'm using Leopard 10.5.1, iTunes 7.6 and iPhone firmware 1.1.3.
I'm guessing this is a bug on the phone.

Any remedies?

Mac OS X (10.5.1)

I will bet that you used the same project name for the ringtones you made in garage band.

Make sure you use a different name each time you create one.

Good call.

What a stupid, unnecessary tedious task that will be.

tried to create ringtones the way you suggested...
but the names still duplicated...
my iphone just takes one of them and shows the same number of ringtones as i imported but all of them have chosen sound name and plays the same sound...

always closing current and creating new project in Garbage Band and create new one for every new ringtone as you wrote... are there any other rules?

I think you are seeing the plain old duplication bug widely reported elsewhere. Search the forums, you'll find many with the same problem.

Ironically, it doesn't seem to effect most people, just some. Not sure what they all have in common.

Oddly enough, this doesn't seem to work for me. I've tried recreating with different project names, and restarting too, but it doesn't make a difference. Any other ideas?

Hey I'm up to date too, and I'm having the same issue. I guess we'll just have to wait for 1.1.4.

Remove the ringtones from the phone.

Unset iTunes "manually manage music and videos"

Go into the Ringtones, Music, and Video tabs as needed to select what you want to sync.

Click the sync button.

You may then return the "manually manage music and videos" to where it was before.

hope this helps

I had the same exact issue, so THANK YOU from me as well

I am now able to successfully use two custom ringtones like i did before 1.1.3

any idea what caused this? and I haven't tried yet, but can I add more ringtones properly now or will the old problem re-surface?

should i have to revert to syncing instead of manually managing my music and videos in order to properly add the ringtones?

thanks again

Oops.
I spoke to soon.

It solved a duplication issue in the iPhone Ringtone list, but once I went to the phone's SETTINGS to choose the ringtone, they were all (4) the same (duplicate) name and ringtone.

Worm in my Apple.

(I have the 1.1.4 update on Leopard 10.5.2)
