I downloaded ringtones from PhoneZoo. They are in my download folder. How do I put them in iTunes so I can sync them to my iPhone 4s?
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
To make sure that its gonna work on your iphone, you should be sure that has ".m4r" extension... if not you have to convert it... also make sure that the ringtone doesnt exceeds the 30s. =D
I found the files in Finder, right clicked, chose "Get Info", and changed the extension from .mp3 to .m4r. The "Kind" now shows Ringtone, Open With is iTunes and Preview shows the iTunes icon with "RING" under it. However, I can't drag and drop into the "Tones" part of the iTunes Library. The tones are under 30 seconds. Is there another way to change the extension?
yo have to open the mp3 file in itunes.. then right click it and choose... "Create ACC version..." then it will create a file with ".m4a" extension... so in finder look for that file and change the extension to ".m4r"... then double click it and it would show up on "TONES", then connect your iphone.. and make sure that "TONES is selected to SYNC all tones..." and hit apply changes.. and you are ready to go 😀
Thank you so much for the help. I got it with ".m4r" extension, but I can't get it in "Tones" in iTunes. I tried double clicking and drag and drop, but it doesn't work.
Any other suggestions?
but when you double click it, it plays on itunes???
is there anyway you can send me a link to download that tone? so i can convert it here and try it 😀
Today I could not get the file to open at all, so I tried another one that I could not get to work this morning. The link is for a F1 engine accelerating (hubby likes racing). Name of the file is F1ACCEL.mp3

I can't get anything that says Create ACC. I got Create AAC. On the first ringtone I tried, I did not get the ".m4a" extension.
Thanks again for all your help.
Ok, i got it... hope this helps... heres what i did...
1. downloaded the ringtone to my mac...
2. double clicked it, and its on itunes now...
3. right click it and click create ACC version
4. it created another file...
5. then i right clicked the new file.. (the first one) and select "Show In Finder"
6. changed the extension from .m4a to .m4r (click Use .m4r)
7. after that... i copied the ".m4r" to my desktop then i deleted the TWO files from iTunes...
8. double click the one on my desktop... and Wallaaaa... is on "TONES" =D
Don't know how to THANK YOU enough. I'm glad you had the screen shots because your step 3 showed "ACC" version and all I kept seeing was "AAC". I love my Apple items, but they sure can make things difficult sometimes. THANK YOU again.
Glad you got it to work 🙂
I went back to PhoneZoo so I could get the tones I wnted.....and when they downloaded to my Mac, they all had the ".m4r". extension!!! Sorry you had to do all that work, but now I know how to change extensions if it ever comes up again. Again, thank you.
