I forgot to add that all the ringtones appear in the iTunes library on my PC
in "Tone" so it's just some synch issue that they are not getting transfered
to my iPhone... This drives me really nuts!
Kind regards,
Barbara

Shortly after getting my iPhone 5, I created myself a few ringtones out of
some favourite songs of mine but only part of them is being transfered to my
phone.
They are all .m4r files and they are all under 39 seconds long.
Any idea why only some of them are getting synchronised with my phone and
the rest doesn't?
If someone is willing to check this out for me, I can send you 2 or 3 of
those ringtones to test as I'm really curious whether it's only me or
whether they are generally incompatible...
It really annoys me, because I really hoped to get them on my iPhone and so
far I have only 3 of my ringtones on the phone to choose of...
Thank you in advance for any help!
Kind regards,
Barbara

Sherry,
Are they M4R files? If so just copy them into the Automatically Add to
iTunes folder, then open iTunes and they should be moved to the Tones or
Ringtones folder. Both the Automatically Add to iTunes and the Tones or
Ringtones folder are in your iTunes Media folder which in turn is in a
folder just called "iTunes" and if you did the default installation, it is
in your Music folder.
Once you have done this, you have to connect your phone, check the Tones
button under "Devices" then tab and make sure you check "Sync All
Ringtones". This process is no different than syncing apps or music, either
select to sync all tones or if you choose to only sync selected tones you
have to tap into the listview where all your tones are and check those you
want, then sync.
If your files are not in the iTunes format and do not have the M4R extension
they will not work.
If you can't get this to work you can contact me off-list and I'll see if I
can help. My email is siegh...@live.ca
Regards,
Sieghard

Someone made me some ring tones from files I used to have for my old smart
phone. But I don't know how to add them to my phone. Right now, they're
living in a folder called ring tones on my hard drive. I'm not very good
with iTunes, just use it to update my phone and get apps from the store. I
have an iPhone 5 and iTunes 11.

Hi Rose,
I believe Fedora's instructions are for the Mac. I am not saying it's easier
in Windows, but I posted my instructions quite a few times now and send them
directly to a few more people and I believe they were all able to follow
them and create ringtones. Yes, there are about 8 or 10 steps involved
depending on how I word it and also on how technically experienced somebody
is. However, if you do get it to work and do it a few times, it takes little
more than a minute or 2 to create a ringtone. The most time is spend on
setting the start and end point if you hav a song where you don't want to
start at the beginning and simply set the end point to 38 or 40 seconds
because if you want to start a few seconds in and stop at a point that makes
sense you have to set your start and end point, listen to the selected part
of the song, then fine tune your start and end points where you listen each
time after you do so. Obviously if you do this 3, 4 or 5 times you can
easily spend 3 to 5 minutes doing that. After that it takes another 30
seconds to create the ringtone, rename the file, copy it into your ringtones
folder and play it so it gets added to the library. The basic steps are
really only that:
1. Select the part of the song you want by setting the start end end
point in the Options tab in "Get Info".
2. Right click on the song and select "Create AAC Version.
3. Go to the newly created ringtone, select "Show in Windows
Explorer", then rename it so it has an M4R instead of an M4A extension.
4. Now select copy or Move and paste it into the Tones folder which is
in the iTunes Media folder.
5. Press enter on it to play it which automatically adds it to your
Tones library, then sync it to your phone.
If you want my more detailed description just write to me off-list and I'll
send it to you. There is a big difference between a process you perceive to
be difficult because it involves a lot of small yet relatively simple steps
and one that really is difficult.
Lastly, there are several apps out there which create the actual ringtone
and which are accessible and being used by members of this list. However,
you still have to email the ringtone to you or use iTunes file transfer to
copy it from your phone into the Tones folder where you can play it and then
sync it. Personally I don't necessarily find these apps any easier than
using iTunes and really the only thing they don't require you to do is
rename the file with the M4R extension.
Regards,
Sieghard

I wish someone would right a straight forward guide for ring tones,
everything I see looks like 20 steps to nowhere. I either buy them, only a
couple, or, send them from some package to myself, save the files in my
downloads folder, then open and they seem to go where they belong but, I
don't think I would ever venture in to how to actually creat one from
iTunes. Why something should be so difficult seems strange to me. I just
read the Fydora Outlier post and after reading it decided that I will never,
ever make a ringtone from scratch.

Hi marcy,
While your instructions summarize the basic steps, Bill is not using a Mac
and there are a few more steps involved on a PC. Also, if somebody has
selected MP3 as their Codec they won't have an option to create an AAC file
and would have to first change this. Just saying.
