How do you add ringtones to iTunes 11?

first off im so confused and its not working for me

What I had to do was in iTunes, use "Add File to Library" to add the m4r file. (under the file menu) This will place it in its own Tones library (if you didn't already have one). You then tick the tone you have just added.

Then you can connect the iPhone, and there will be a specific sync tab for Tones where you can select what you added to the library and then sync it to your phone.

Hey ive tried the same.but i cant see the tones tab at all 😟.help me please

In iTunes 11, "Add File to Library"" or using Finder to drag .m4r files to the Library should create a tones tab.

PLEASE NOTE, if you have created your own tone by modifying an existing song in iTunes, you must delete it from the iTunes Library (you're not actually deleting the file, you're just removing it from iTunes) before dragging the .m4r file (with Finder) to the iTunes Library.

Yes you have to delete it first. It worked for me. Thanks

Just to clarify things.

1-Add m4r files to itunes library

2- Go to your phone

3- then you'll find the ''Tones'' tab with the newly added files inside

4- Click Sync

Done

i cantfind the tones tab

pls explain clearly

iphone 4 ios6.0.1

itunes 11

thank u in advance

You find the tab when you click on your device name within Itunes 11 (top right corner)

I have a similar problem i already enable the tab tones, but i cant see the tones that i add, even if add from finder by the way the are in m4r file, whats the problem.

This finally worked for me:

Then of course, don't forget to "sync" with yout iPhone again and voila!

Thanx very much.

It worked for me !!!

Cool I was doing all this as a shortcut to the GarageBand method, But this is tha true mashup shortcut. Use the link to step 7 if U don't already know how to make a .m4r file (it takes 30 seconds of your life once U learn it), then use the "add to library" method from above. Ringtones in 60 secs; I've been spending 60 minutes with other methods. CHEERS!!!

Thanks for your help 🙂 your directions worked and I found my ringtones!

go into itunes prefrences and add the tones tab
