I tried copying all m4r files to my iCloud drive folder on my PC, then connected my iPhone to iTunes. Once connected, I was able to drag my files from that iCloud drive folder. For someone reason I was unable to copy them from a desktop folder. All works well on my phone now. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
First are you absolutely certain that you've created a valid ringtone file, that is a file in AAC format that is less than 40 seconds long where you've then changed the file extension from .m4a to m4r?
Assuming that is the case have you read through the advice on removing all tones from the device and reloading when you're unable to add new items?

Last iTunes version that supported third-party ringtones management was the one with the AppStore, 12.6 if not mistaking. Now it manages only purchased tones. There's a heap of third-party apps that allow ringtones management and they can import mp3/tracks longer than 30 sec, use any of those. If you don't know which one and don't want to google check iMazing, never had any issues with it.
Take a look at this UserTip, written by our senior member tt2:--> https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-12051

Still have the problem, but thanks
If you followed ALL the steps provided, what happens now, when you try?

Edit: Where is now that m4r file, and how did you create it?
You're welcome. 🙂
