3- Right click the AAC version and select ``Show in Windows Explorer``

5- Go back to Windows Explorer, open start menu, type Folder in search bar at bottom select Folder Options (most likely to be at top)

7- In ``Windows Explorer`` right click the song that you are making a ringtone and rename it
8- When renaming change the m4a at the end to m4r

  • Haha 1,234 Veiws!

  • next questions is How do you select multiple addresses for a mass text message. Unlike whats apps or on my Nokia phone. You can check off the people you want to send the message to. Once you have the list then you can type message and send. But with the iPhone you have to always go back to contacts, choose the person, contacts chose the person.

  • @TheNiniabenjamin If you go into your messages app, and create a new message at the top right, you can type the people you want it will automatically suggest people from your contacts and you can select up to, I think 10 people or so.

  • At first I thought this might work for any type of cell phone. Am I wrong? Is there any way to be able to send it to a regular cell phone-the cell phone is not able to be plugged into the computer, so I thought maybe I could email the tone, or something to that extent. Thank you for the help. ~Karen

  • @Trakehner20 It must be a phone that is able to work with itunes

  • So question, I have the iPhone 4s, an I did everything, it just won't let me put the ringtone into my phone. Everything is working and all, the ringtone is fine, and in the ringtone folder, and there is also a ringtone folder under my phone on itunes, but it just won't allow me to put it on. Is it the just the iphone or is there something I need to do...? Any help would be awesome.

  • @MrsNanapus Are you dragging the single ringtone file into it or the whole ringtone section? I have the problem where if I only drag the single tone in it wont do anything, but if you drag the "Tones" library folder in it might work. If not the only other thing I can think of to fix it is to do a sync.
