Everything was going smoothly until after the sync. I cannot locate the ringtone anywhere on my iphone. Should I be looking somewhere I’m not thinking of? I checked the ringtone prior to syncing on my itunes.

I have painstakingly done each step a dozen times in the new 8.2 and everytime it puts the file in the regular music library. I’ve even manually moved the file on my hard drive to the ringtone folder, but when I click that iTunes moves it to the music library. What the heck is happening and what do I do now?

how do i change it from .m4a to the other?

Created a 27 second long ringtone and downloaded to the iphone. After I associated it with a contact, it still plays the default ringtone upon call. When I am assigning the new ringtone I am able to select and listen to the new custom ringtone, but it wouldn’t play when associated with a contact.

All went well until i couldnt wrk out how to change the extension! how do i do it?

oh wait !

Hi there, I am having the same problem as #3 above. All steps followed but the renamed file just wld not go to the ringtone folder but stays with music (under library). This is despite extension changed and original shortened file in iTunes deleted. Any advice pls?

Once I’ve changed the extension, I can play in the regular “Music” section of the iTunes library, but it doesn’t appear in the “Ringtones” (in the left hand taskbar). What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Same problem here……got the ext changed to .mr4, then double clicked and the file goes to the “music library” in iTunes….can not get it to move over to the “Ringtones library”. It’s 23 seconds long and shows up in the music library as Ringtone under “type”!

Same problem. Shows up in library, will play from library but will not transfer to be synced.

Hi I have itunes 9 I followed your instructions but was unable to change the file extension.

I followed the ringtone instructions and it did not work, so what can I do?

Hi,

Same problem at Cath a couple posts above. I have iTunes 9.0.2.
I have the clip on desktop, right click on properties, but unable to change the extension?

In the General tab next to “Type of file” I can see the file extension “.m4a” but I can’t edit it?
Cath states extension was hidden…how do I unhide it?

I have changed the file name itself on the desktop just adding .m4r but upon going to properties file read “xxx.m4r.m4a”

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Never mind..I figured it out.

I seem to be having the same problem most people here are having…iTunes will not add the file to the ringtones folder.

Any ideas why that is happening?

Aloha,

Seems I have similar probs to all. I might be missing something as I dont see where the ringtone was placed after it is created.

Plus, when I right click back on the music file, I get a msg: I can only make ringtones from music purchased from itunes store.

What am I doing wrong
