I seriously do not know why Apple failed to include this. It wasn’t easy hunting down the various pieces but here it is Silence.m4r

Why would you want a silent ringtone? I use it for telemarketers, ex’s, and anyone not in my contact list. It simplifies life. Simple is good, Apple of all the tech companies should get that.

Why would you want to call your phone from the internet?

1) You can’t find it and maybe if it is ringing it’ll be easier to find.
2) You are stuck in the never ending meeting and need a way to ditch
3) Your blind date leaves more than few things to be desired.

With the new iPhone arriving soon there will be lots of iPhones being sold on eBay and other places. But your iPhone does not remove your personal data when you do a wipe and restore.

Before selling your iPhone on eBay, sending it to Apple, or otherwise sharing it, note the following: performing a “Restore” operation on the iPhone does not delete personal data from the device. In fact, mail, contacts, and various other data remain intact on the device after a restore, making the process unsuitable as a preparatory measure for iPhone resale or service.

Try changing the file extension to .3gp ( 3rd generation mobile video ).

Mp4 s copied from cell phones to OSX often give ‘An invalid sample description was found in the movie. ‘ Changing from .mp4 to .3gp allows OSX to play the movie.

This supposedly works on Windows as well but several people were unable to successfully change the file extension in Windows. If that doesn’t work try changing the extension to .3g2.

3gp is a stripped down version of mp4. In addition it contains information about the size ( height and width) of your video and the bandwidth speed of your phone. Supposedly QuickTime and RealPlayer play them, but good luck getting that to work.
