Update: Still can't import ringtone into iTunes for use on my iPhone.
DONE: Made less than 30 second file as .m4r
DONE: Double-clicked on it to open in iTunes
DONE: It's in iTunes now, however shows as MPEG or AAC files
DONE: Tried moving it to Ringtones folder... it won't go
DONE: Moved original .m4r file to "Ringtones" Folder by way of Finder, restarted... still doesn't show
How in the world do I get it in there??????????

Try this recipe:
Make a sub 30 second file in AAC format (prob with lowish bitrate too, e.g. 128k)
Rename File.m4a to File.m4r
Drop into *Automatically add to iTunes*

I already tried... doesn't work
Where is the ringtone from? Import into Garageband then export as ringtone. see if that works.
These instructions are better than others. Here's what helped me get the ringtone in my iPhone...
"Now back in iTunes remove the file from the playlist (do NOT move to Trash, select ‘keep file’) and then re-import the file into iTunes 10 by double clicking the .m4r file within the Finder"
... I hadn't removed the original aac file (m4a) so it never put in the ringtone (m4r).
Thanks Mike!!

Before you can save as a ringtone you must delete the one in your itunes lkibrary. DO NOT send to trash, use Keep file. Then you can double click the ringtone saved outside itunes and it will auto import as a ringtone. If you deleted previous files to trash, clear your trash.
i dont get the option to 'create aac version' only mp3 version
You need to change your import settings in preferences from mp3 to aac, 128k,
