Finally got this to work. Once u have made your 30second AAC version delete it but save it to file ,then go to finder type in the name of the song and you will find the 30 sec version. The song will end M4A Just click the name then change the A tan R click save and iit will ask m4r click okay. Then drag it to ur iTunes tones. Done

Find song you want as ring tone


Right click on song: go to- Get Info


Click Options tab


In start time and stop time enter the times pace you want as your ringtone. Make sure both boxes are selected. Hit enter or click OK.


Re-listen to the shortened song to see if you like it. Edit in Options till you do.


Right-click song again and “Create AAC Version” (should hear a ding)


Right-click on new shortened file and go-to “Show in Finder”

(On a Mac it will open and new window the one you want will be highlighted)


Right-click, select “get info” Rename with .m4r (usually starts as .m4a) Hit enter, select use .m4r


Drag and drop file onto desktop. Delete shortened file in ITunes.


Drag and drop .m4r from desktop into ITunes.


Sync IPhone with computer, while in IPhone menu in ITunes go to: Tones. Click “sync’ or “apply”


Success! It should now appear on your phone under ringtones!
