How to add custom ringtones to your iPhone 3G/3GS/4

[calvinfleak95]

need help here!

i have dragged the ringtone from desktop into 'Tones' tab in iTunes.. synced my phone already but yet i still do not get the custom ringtone i want in the phone!

[princemoiz2012]

oh thankxx dude...!!

[princemoiz2012]

all steps are completed but cant rename .......!!i can rename but only file name is showing not type means cant change file type

[JoshEdwards10]

@princemoiz2012 You may have to change folder settings to be able to this. Go to 'Folder and search options' either through the 'Tools' or 'Organize' tab. Click on the 'View' tab, then untick 'Hide file

extensions for known file types'. 

[xLuCiFeRz]

i cant convert any song into acc :(

[TheDarkShadow360]

Works! Thanks.



[StephyBearXOXO]

i followed the steps and it worked!!!! :D thanks so much

[viet13n]

for those of you at the step where it goes from m4a to m4r, just google "show or hide file name extensions" and that should help!

[PuddingMonsterful]

I did all the steps, and followed DasFish's instructions and the ring tones don't show up in my ringtone's tab

[wikistar]

you need to make sure file extensions are visible. go to Start>computer> press alt a menu will appear click tools>folder options> view>uncheck hide folder extensions this is for windows 7

[dumindhu]

@wikistar : tnx dude ;)

[softsensitivity]

i got all the way to trying to change the ending to .m4r it showed up in the title but it did not transfer to ringtone section. Help.. thanks

[DasFish]

for anyone having problems that can't sync the newly created ringtone with your iphone, try this..

go to your name.. Example:

[^^] Eric's Iphone

in the tabs within your Iphone section, select 'Ringtones' tab, then sync from there. it worked for me. thanks.

This doesn't work! I got as far as dragging the newly created song out of itunes and into a folder but could not change the name. There song file did not end in "m4a", it just had it's normal song name. I changed it anyway and added ".m4r" to the end instead. I then tried to drag it bag to itunes, into the ringtones section and it wouldn't go. Instead it went back to the music library. So now i have 3 copies of the same song in there. I did everything you described but it didn't work?????

[matp1985]

great tutorial, very simple to do and it works a treat. Much appreciated :)

[just4paws17]

@matp1985 I could not get it to show up in my itunes ringtones, any ideas?

[matp1985]

@just4paws17 I had it wrong at first too. I was trying to add the first AAC file as a ringtone, but it's still the full song just cued to play from the points you pick, and an iPhone won't take a file longer than 30 seconds as a ring tone. Be sure to do the second "convert to AAC"...it took me a little bit to work this out :P I just re-did the whole process while following and pausing the video step by step and all worked out perfectly :)

Hope this helps

[BlackopsLEGENDz]

the same is happening to me at everyone else HOW DO I GET CUSTOM RINGTONES ????????????

[xSimOHD]

[fandy46]

[jnayish]

Hi

I am at Stage 5 and when I try to drag the ringtone to my iTunes it just turns into a black circle with a line running through it. I found each stage really easy to follow so I don't know where I went wrong.

Any advise would be really helpful, I cannot go on listening to the awful ringtones on the iphone , thanks xx

[jedigiariana]

I'm having a slight problem, when I'm changing to .m4r, it doesn't show the .mp4 so what can I do?

[shouannnn]

You are AWSOME

[Kurdishmusic92]

I'm at step five, everytime I try dragging it to the Ringtones folder in Itunes it won't work..

[splashdream14]

my friend u r a god! thank you soooooo much!

[KurdMob]

I did all the steps and understood everything. When I connect my phone to iTunes I even have the ringtone in my Ringtone file and when I go on my settings it doesn't appear. Don't even have anything called Custom. Same problem some other people have aswell I can see also on the other vids. I have to say I made mine only 20sec long do you think it has a minimum. I might have to play around a little.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thnx

[IntenseLiaison]

@KurdMob I am having the same issue- the ringtone (or anything called custom) is not there

[Siggennn]

[kroxh]

@Siggennn try n do this ...go to cntrl panel > appearance & personalization>folder options> view > uncheck the box whch says " hide extentions for known file types"

and then try renaming and changing the file of the 30 sec acc version to mr4....it should work ! safe !

[paulmunain]

@disneyfatum thats because itunes will only let you make ringtones from songs you purchased from itunes. in the video his ringtone was purchased from itunes, i am having the same problem
