On iTunes I paid for Beatles songs that were labelled as ringtones. I changed the extension to .m4r on a couple but they are too long to be used as ringtones. How do I take a chunk of a song and convert it (shorten it) suitably to be used as a ringtone? I am using a Mac computer.
You need to do this before renaming the file to .m4r:
Go to: Control panel > Appearance and themes > folder options > view > uncheck hide extensions for known types
rename file from: FILENAME.m4a to FILENAME.m4r
double click file and it should pop up in the ringtones section. sync your iphone and it should work.
"Go to: Control panel > Appearance and themes > folder options > view > uncheck hide extensions for known types"
There is no such option on a Mac.
Hi, Once i set the start and stop time the new file which itunes creates still remains the same size as the original song. Im using itunes version 11.0.2 (25). Why am i unable to create a shorter version for a ringtone? kindly help.
Make sure you are viewing the new file and not the original file.
It was a temporary error, i force quit itunes and tried again and was successful. Thanks.
I drag m4r file into ringtones but it does not appear....please suggest

found it ......!!!! if you don't get to see the tone under the tones section in itunes drag it it the desktop then erase from itunes library and open again the file from the desktop...it will be under the tones library section....
30 secs or less is not at all necessary. I just made a ringtone of 40 secs.
Very helpful source with all of the expert input, thak you!

i have been following your steps, but once I try to right click, I can't find the AAC option. I am using Windows on my computer and I already went to the control panel and changed that setting. How else can I fix this?

You don't go to control panel.
iTunes Prefs < General.
Click thr Import settings button.
Since the updated iTunes, I use Zamzar and it converts it and adds to iTunes Tones.
Easy and done in 2 minutes at the most after synching iPhone.
*Little easy trick, use an artist name like "Tone" and make sure import artist named "Tone" is selected.*
I updated to the newest itunes and cannot find the tones tab option. Do you know where it is?
The toolbar found in the upper-left portion of the iTunes window depicts an icon with three dots, an ellipse AKA ... , click the ellipse to reveal a drop down menu with "Tones" as an option.
