    Control Panel>Folder options>View> here there is an option like hide known files extension or something like that. I don't remember exactly.

    This was great!! once i got the Windows issue with the folder extention resolved ( which you also had the answer for) i spent all day making Ringtones. The earlier poster who said he was new to iPhone didnt seem to understand the idea of interface. there's no reason you should have re purchase music. if he accidentally deleted the original file, it should be in his recycle bin and if he completely deleted it off the PC it should still be in his Music app under the purchased or downloaded tab.

    None of these steps worked on my computer.  I have tried this 5x and now I don't even have the option to create an ACC.  And it won't even recognize the ringtone I had on the 3Gs that was already converted.  What gives?  Seriously starting to regret getting this phone.....

    Can't create ringtones no matter what I try. Also, the I5 won't connect with the Pioneer stereo I have in my car.  It has an iPod jack which is the whole reason I got it.  With my 3Gs and my Nano (one from 2006 that is still pristine) I had no problem playing & controlling it from the stereo as a plug in accessory.  Now it won't do anything.  Kinda stuck at this point.  As usual it's a great product but the quirks are driving me crazy!

    Right click on a track. Is there a "Create a ... Version" option?

    If not you have to download the track from iCloud. (Right click>Download)

    The process seemed to be working great except that the song didn't limit itself to 30 secs when I put in start time 0:00 and end time 0:30.  So I figured perhaps I entered it again and went to try again.  Now the message I get when I go to "Create AAC Version" is

    Did you tried to play the track before you create the AAC version?

    Did you tried one track at a time?

    You 're welcome.

    Yes, it needs a little attention but if you make it one time then it's a very easy way to make ringtones.

     

    6 easy steps.

     

    1. Trim your track to 30-40 sec (mine is 39 sec)

    2. Convert it to AAC (you have to set import settings to AAC to have this option. If you set Import settings to mp3 then the option became "Create a mp3 version").

    3. Find the new aac file in your Finder/Explorer, rename the extension* to .m4r and drag it to "Tones" section in iTunes.

    4. Delete the entry in Music section (Because is useless)

    5. Disable time trimming in the original file (otherwise will be play only the selected part when you want to listen it as music track)

    6. Sync your iPhone

     

     

    *You need to be able see the extension. For Mac, enable "Show all filename extensions" in Finder Preferences.

    For Windows go to Control Panel/Folder options/View tab/uncheck "Hide extension for known types of file" (or something like that).

     

    Sorry for my English

    Thank you so very much!  My ringtone went to the Tones folder in iTunes on my desktop.  Although it did not migrate to my iPhone via the cloud (despite that i have iTunes Match), I connected the phone to my desktop by wire and dragged ringtone in iTunes from the desk top folder to the iPhone folder.  Voila!

    You 're welcome.

    You can also sync the ringtone by checking it in Tones tab on Syncing page of itunes.
