looking for an old Samsung alert tone called "Starry Night." Can't find it online, any way to get it & upload it to my iPhone?

Actually, the song is called "Vincent" by Don McLean. The song is available on iTunes, but the ringtone is not.

So you can either try to create the ringtone as you describe above, or, if you have a Mac, you can use GarageBand to make the tone.

On the Mac, you can use GarageBand and make those notes yourself.

You either make it yourself or buy it through iTunes Store, you can't download it somewhere.

I am just heavily asuming you are running a Windows computer. If so, this is how I do it.... and describe it.

I'll do this in steps because it's organized.

1. Either find the song online and download it, or if you can't download it (right click the file online and click save target as..., and pick a spot in your Documaent or Libraries, or whatever its called to save the file in) , make a recorded voice memo of it and sync your phone to your computer, it should appear with no info except a name that represents the date it was recorded.
2. This is only if you downloaded it online, find the file in your Documents or Library where you remember saving it, right click it, and click "open with..." and click iTunes.
3. Now either way you should have that file as a song in iTunes. You may rename the song to your liking. Listen to the song and make sure it sounds short like a text tone. If not, you must shorten it to be 2 - 5 seconds by right clicking, clicking Get Info, click Options, and and setting a start and end time you want and click OK when done.
4. Now for the really tricky stuff. Right click the song, and click "Create ACC Version". If there is no button that says that, then it already is in that format (but that's unlikely).
5. You now have a clone of the song that is as short as you cropped it. Try giving them different names to distinguish the new one (ACC) from the old one (.MP3).
6. Right click the new one and click "Show in Windows Explorer" (as it says on my Windows 7).
7. Here comes what I warned about in Step 4. You now have to change the file type of this ACC version of the song. If the song file you were brought to ends with ".m4a" you are very lucky! If not, you have to find a way to show file extensions. All I can tell you for this is that on a Windows 7, it is you click Organize in the top left corner of the screen, click "Folder and Search Options", click the View tab, and uncheck the box that says "Hide extensions for known file types".
8. If you made it past that step, the climax has ended. You now have to rename the file of your song in this Windows Explorer by right clicking the file and clicking Rename. you should notice the .m4a part is not automatically highlighted, you have to change the .m4a at the end of the file's name you gave it to .m4r amd press Enter.
9. You will be warned the file may not be usable, but continue anyway.
10. Finally, right click the file in Explorer and click "Open with..." and click iTunes. If you are sent to iTunes with an item in the ringtone category, than all this had payed off! 😁

To get this tone on your phone, just plut her in and sync. It will probably be known as a ringtone, not a text tone, but you can still set it as your default text tone in Settings and you will feel the nostalgia every time you get a text.
