HOW TO SYNC YOUR RINGTONES TO THE iPHONE

Oh. Is it itunes store? Or... Im not sure i tried itunes store but i didnt see really anything.. 😢

EpicCal....in Itunes, on the menu bar, select Itunes > Preferences >General, check the "tones" box >Okay.

Back to the Itunes screen with the "Bell" for Tones - do you have your ringtone in it?

Find the image for your Iphone or the folder beside the Iphone image to the right on this Itunes screen. Click either the folder or the image but don't eject the image. Make sure the Sync box is checked.

okay Ive found my tones library but it looks like all my ring tones I purchased are in there but when I try to play and listen a box comes up that say

the file could not be used because the original file could not be located. would you like to locate it???

okay so I backed up on old phone before I bought this phone............

frustrating...........

OK stumbled on to my FIX... i unchecked every tone.... ran a sync... then i rechecked every tone... and synced again... it worked...

I have download before the ringtone with no issue. However after i upgrade the Itune i have problem on the ringtone. I have use the ringtone marker to create the ringtone i need. i have done this before and no issue. But this time i cannot put the ringtone on the tone. It keep put it in the music folder and not the tone folder. why is this happen. And what so i need to do the put it in tone folder.

This worked PERFECTLY! Thank you so much!! 😀

You ROCK, Sunviews! This is the only method that works for me, and I thank you sincerely!

Here is a very similar method for OS 10.7.5 (iTunes 11.2.2). I adapted it (after making several tones) from the article How to Set Any Song as a RIngtone on Your iPhone, by Jim Martin, at

http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/audio/3274143/make-song-your-iphone-ringtone/

Notes: Once you connect your phone you can leave it connected, even if you want to delete a tone and do it over. The process is simpler than the number of steps suggests, but I used this level of detail so that hopefully a newbie to iTunes can do it. This also worked for .wav files from Animoog for iPhone.

1. Open iTunes.
2. Play the song from which you want to make your tone and note the start and stop times you want. The total time needs to be 30 seconds or less.
3. Select the song and press command-I, or right-click the song (2-finger click if you are using the trackpad) and select Get Info.
4. Select the Options tab and copy the Stop time to the clipboard or to another document. You will use this later to restore the original time to your song. Enter your chosen start and stop times for the tone and make sure they are clicked. Increase the Volume Adjustment if the song is not very loud (you may need to experiment with this). Click OK.
5. Right-click the song again, or select it and click File (in the top menu) –> Create New Version –> Create AAC Version. The menu may only show an option to Create MP3 Version, or some other format. If so, click iTunes (in the menu at the top of the screen) –> Preferences –> General. Where it says When a CD is inserted, click Import Settings, then under Import Using: select AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus for the setting and click OK.
6. After you create your new version it will appear as a duplicate track except the time will reflect your adjustment.
7. If you want to change the title, do it now. I tried changing the title after deleting it from iTunes (the next two steps), but when I brought it back in to iTunes, iTunes used the title it had had before.
8. Right-click the original song and restore the start and stop times to their original values. If you don’t, iTunes will only play the part you selected for the tone.
9. Right-click the short track you just created and select Show in Finder. Move the file to a location outside of the iTunes folder, such as the desktop, or a folder for your homemade ringtones.
10. Delete the track in iTunes.
11. In the folder where you have moved it, select the file and click on it again (don’t double-click) so you can edit the filename. Change the extension from .m4a to .m4r (and confirm when asked). If you don’t see the extension, make sure you are in Finder. Click Finder –> Preferences –> Advanced and check Show All File Extensions. Do not simply add an extension if you don’t see the current one.
12. In iTunes, click on File –> Add to Library (or press command-O) and find/select it there. Open your Tones library to see if it is there. If Tones is not an option in your Library selector button (upper left corner of the iTunes window), click iTunes –> Preferences –> General and check Tones in the Show selection.
13. Connect your iPhone to your computer and click the iPhone button in iTunes. Click the Tones button in the banner menu and check Sync Tones. Click All Tones or click Selected Tones and make sure the ones you want are checked.
14. Click on Apply at the bottom of the window to sync your phone.
15. When the your has synced (or “sunc”?), open it and tap Settings –> Sounds –> Ringtone, and your new tone should be there. Tap it and listen to see if it starts the way you want and is the correct volume. If everything is fine you can treat it like any other ringtone. Text tones, mail tones, individual ring-tones, etc., all access the same menu of sounds.
16. If you want to do it over, you can delete it from your phone the same way you would delete any song or tone. Go back to step 12, click Selected Tones, uncheck any tones you want to delete from your phone and click Apply to sync the phone again. Then delete that tone from iTunes on your computer.

1. Open up Itunes.

2. On the top left corner, there is a little picture of a menu with an arrow pointing down: click on it.

3. Once you click on it, a menu will appear. Click on Show Menu Bar.

4. A Menu toolbar will appear. Click on the Edit Tab.

5. Then Click Preferences.

6. A pop-up will appear.

7. Under sources, check Tones.

8. After that, click OK and it should appear.

TThis just does not seem to work for me. There appear to be steps missing And I am increasingly frustrated with the directions. Follow them to the letter and all of a sudden it seems like what should be there isn't. Help!

How do I get the tones tab under library to pop up? It will not let me copy the tune to my library either.

Well finally someone who figured it out . Thanks it sent me in the right direction and I finally have my tones on my wife's phone. Thanks for you added info.

I Hope others find your post when it comes to clicking and dragging to iPhone. Finally got to tones in iTunes and you helped me understand to click and hold on tone then drag to the left a little and the iPhone popped up and I could drag over phone and it would then attach. I wish some one would paste pictures for each step for us just learning IPhones .

I'm having issues as well, the ringtone downloaded from Sedgwick onto my laptop, IS in my music, I cannot get it in the tones section when I connect phone to computer .

Zedge not Sedgwick , I downloaded my ring tone from zedge
