I'm an iPhone 13 Pro Max user. I'm trying to transfer some custom ringtones to the new iPhone with my Windows PC and Mac, but constantly failed. I couldn't find the "Tones" tab on both the music library and my device. Please help me to drop the m4r files savely in my iPhone 13 Pro. Many thanks in advance!
iPhone 14
Hi total voice, hope this is not too late of a response. I had the same problem. What I did was download the .mp3 file of the ringtone/text tone you want, and you HAVE TO convert it to .m4r. There is an online .mp3 to .m4r converter FREE. Convert the .mp3 to .m4r, after you have done that, go to Finder, find the new .m4r download and drag the file to your desktop. Connect your phone to your Mac, go to your Finder, click on your iPhone, keep the General page up on the screen of Finder and drag your .m4r file to that screen. I hope it worked for you like it did for me. I think the trick was you have to convert the .mp3 file to .m4r.
GOOD LUCK!
I'm having the same problem. I had .mp4r custom ringtones on my iPhone 12, and now I can't transfer them to my 15 Max. I have backups on my PC, and I've tried dragging and dropping to the Tones sidebar in iTunes when the phone is connected, dragging and dropping to the open Tones window, cutting and pasting to both places...nothing, including after sync. All the instructions I can find seem to be outdated; I had no problems with the older device, but now nothing works.
Sorry this made no sense For a start in the general tab there is no way of finding my tones. And you cannot look in the tones folder from music. It used to be simple to add a tone now it’s not. The tones file is in the tones folder in the right place and it’s not syncing. How can you find the tone in the music app the option just does not exist.
As an Apple advocate of several decades, after my current iPhone packs in, no more Apple....wasted too much life 'trying' to do the most basic of things.......
Android....select music file.....job done.....get on with life....
5. Under the "Settings" section in the sidebar, click on "Tones."
There is no such thing!
For me too! Truly impressive you figured that one out. Thank you. Was driving me nuts!
Unbelievably complicated. Apple is just ******* off loyal customers with this.
My iPhone doesn't show up in Finder. 15 Pro Max with 2023 iMac on Sonoma. The phone shows up nowhere, even when it's connected via USB cable. What am I doing wrong?
Same here. Also not working for me. Drag m4r onto the "General" section. Nothing happens. No ringtone shows in Settings on the device.
THIS WORKS!!!!!! Been looking for a solution for this, and this is the one!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
