  • That worked perfectly for me. (Under Mac OSX Lion, iTunes 10, with CD ripping settings set to ACC instead of MP3, and with 'show extensions' active in Finder options)

  • I don't have that ACC option :S

  • How do you get the ringtone bar up on itunes i aint got it!

  • Skyrim theme here i come...

  • Yeah.. this basically doesn't work on windows. There's no way to change the file type to m4r..

  • >Sees that you have a shitload of aerosmith

    I love you.

  • to get the ringtones or tones in your list, you have to change to m4r and double click on it

  • i have done all the things but when i copy the cut song to desktop, it just have the song name. behind there dont have ".m4a". and i can't change the song type to m4r

  • Thank you! Super helpful.

  • lol Starcraft player? GL HF? <--- :P

  • thank you

  • there is way easier way

  • worked a charm cheers mate.

  • How do I change m4a to m4r on Windows 7?

  • @Rocksteady72a rename it the last mp4a to mp4r that's it. you cab just click right click and then properties and frm there you can change the name..

  • cheers, this worked perfectly :D

  • What happen when I drag the song to my desktop and at the end it doesn't say .m4a, it just says the song name. When I try to add .m4r nothing happend. Anybody know how to solve this please reply, thank you.

  • I can't put spaces between the numbers in 'get info'. :s

  • It worked! Thank you so much~

  • fuckyou Now I wasted 15 minutes of my life

  • @AleaxnderABC numb nuts

  • Ty very useful

  • Thank you it did work if you follow directions from the video, did not work the first time cause I try to play know it all, but came back to the video and this time i did follow directions, thanks again

  • If your computer does not show a "Ringtones" tab then save the files to your desktop. Rename and simply add .m4r to the end and then drag from the desktop to the device which you are trying to apply the tones to. **Pls thumb up so ppl can see**

  • thanks

    

  • thx big help

  • Duh! No ringtones or tones option.....now what?????

  • THANKS :D!

  • how come my itunes doesnt have a ringtones tab?

  • @theJ0KERkn0wsnoPAYNE it might be called tones

  • Thanks! Very easy!

  • Honestly it didn't work at all. I rename it to m4r and it Isnt a file type, there's ringtone section, Half the stuff he did didn't work for me

  • OMG!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! AND THANK YOU @tarepanda28 FOR EXPLAINING THAT PART! :)

  • You snap with this one i watch like 20 diffrent videos and i can say ths yourz was the most helpfull nd eazy to do it Good loooking out mayne

  • what? how come mine doesnt say m4a? D:

  • @Fadzii88 you have to go right click it, click "get info", then rename the end from m4a to m4r and then press "use m4r"

  • @Fadzii88 alright guys, for those people who cnt figure out. I'll tell (only for windows). click START go to 'search program and files' and type 'file type'. It will come up with 2-3 program but one of them is 'show or hide file extension' click on that and their is an option says 'Hide extension for know file type' unmark then finish.............wooo take me a while to find out.

  • Thanks

  • Thank you! (:

  • I'm really on the fence for the new IPhone 4S, but it's shit like this that's keeping me from shelling out. Putting a ringtone on a phone should be nothing more than copying any old MP3 file over and selecting it to be the ringtone. What's the deal with the stupid time limit and having to re-encode? This is unacceptable, even more so when it comes from a manufacturer that takes pride in and charges a premium for being easy to use.

  • Weird,the extension doesn't appear to me,I just put the ".m4r" there,and it doesn't work.When I look at the properties of the 40 sec part,it says it's a ".m4a" but meh.What can I do to solve this?

  • @L0veHackerz I just put it on my C drive

    then use cmd prompt to rename it to m4r

  • @L0veHackerz Not sure if you already solved the problem but if not you can try this: Make sure youa re displaying the file extensions if you are using windows. That way you can actually change the file extension, and not just the file name. Otherwise, it will look like this "ringtone.m4r.m4a" with m4a staying as the file type.

  • @lentoinks99 thanks this helped solved my problem

  • yo dawg you play wow? what server?

  • i love u....

  • Thanks so much! :D It worked exactly the way you said :)

  • mine wont let me drag it back into itunes

  • how come when i rename it to m4r nothing comes up

  • Mine stays as MP3 , Doesnt work for me

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks bru!

  • spot on !

  • For those of you who dont know how to change the file type, search it on youtube. If you are in Windows Vista or 7, you have to do a few tweaks before you can change the file.

  • mine days quicktime when i drag it out to dekstop?

  • I can't change the name from m4a to m4r :(

  • Man i do everything you say. but when i sync the ringtone on the iphone, i cant find it inside the phone. ....

  • Hi Scott Fuller!

  • dis dosent work anymore

  • Thanks a lot.

  • thanks SO much. this really helped me.

  • for anyone who says this doesn't work, after doing what the tutorial says, sync, disconnect.reconnect and sync again, go to setting>sounds>ringtone and it will be under custom

  • doesn't work....;(

  • Great tutorial

  • i dont have aac version just mp3 n it dont work..

  • great vid but dont forget that you have to delete everything in info when you right click

  • thanksssss!

  • how long can your ringtone be?

  • @tig3r50 40 sec.1:18 he said that.

  • "PC users: the steps are the same, it will just look different, all ugly and messy n PC like." Love it

  • thanks for that!

  • i cant see the M4r helppppp

  • after i've done everything right and stuff, it doesnt pop up in ringtones!! heellpp

  • Hey thanks !!! Now I dont hav to pay anything !!!

  • It is a great program but i feel it is a little complicated, i find another software to make my own ringtone, which is Boilsoft RingTone Converter, it is very easy to use

  • If you don't see the file extension (.m4a or .m4r) you need to configure your version of Windows to not hide the file extension. Google how to do this.

    If you don't see create "AAC Version", you might have an old version of iTunes. Upgrade to the latest one. - that solved it for me.

  • I never cut it down to 40secs. I just left it as full song and my iphone still played it as a ring tone.

  • cheers for once something worked

  • When I right click, there is no option for create AAC Version.

  • Yea i cant change the m4a to m4r either. it only has the song name there. Don't know whats going on =\

  • i cant do space

  • does only one ringtone appear in the sounds menu each time even when youve about 16 ringtones synced to phone, where does the rest go so that ya can change it without havingt o sync it to change it? have ya any idea please

    Thanks in advance
