The order you do things in may matter. It did for me. What worked best was to install the Bootcamp mediated Windows first. After that I resized my apfs partition to leave enough freespace for the ExFAT partition. >From there it was quite straight forward on both Mac and Windows. Janina Des

This is not just about money so far as I’m concerned; the “Canned Ring Tones” frequently are an unwanted snippet cut from a song (or other source) whereas I’d much rather use a different snippet from the same source. For example, a song named “Don’t Tell Mama I’ve Been Drinkin’” by Alan Jackson

OK, I was curious to see if this still worked. It doesn't. Something must have changed, I'm guessing in High Sierra. I cannot get the new ringtone to import into iTunes. Pity. It seems like they've taken something that should be ridiculously easy and made it complicated. Guess they want us

It is. 1. In iTunes, highlight the song you want. 2. From the File Menu choose show in Finder. 3. Copy the file to your desktop. 4. Rename it, so you don't accidentally screw up your original file. 5. Open the desktop file in iTunes. 6. Press CMD-I then options. 7. Mark off the start and end

Why would one go through all this? In the past, I've just taken songs I wanted to use as ringtones, marked off the 30 seconds I wanted to use as a ringtone, saved it to my desktop, changed the file extension to M4R, and hit cmd-O. It works like a charm. Cheers, Donna > On Jul 23, 2018, at

Hi Simon, Thanks. I'm leaning toward Fusion, because I like the idea of being able to switch back and forth. I'm curious, though. Since the laptops don't have an Insert key, what do you use for the JAWS key? Thanks, Donna > On Jul 24, 2018, at 1:38 AM, Simon Fogarty wrote: > > Hi Donna,
