I just bought new iPhone 6 and i am trying to sync custom ringtone from iTunes but it won't work. I have followed everything that was on internet i.e. creating AAC VERSION--->.M4R format---->importing to tones---->then uncheck sync tones--->sync iphone--->then check syc all tones--->(at this step i can see ringtone on) but when i look into sounds---->tones i don't see any ringtone here. Can someone walk me through as i am new to this and i would appreciate your help.

That's the problem. Can you change it? If not, try create a new ringtone using iTunes for testing

Here's the recipe:

1. Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Music Library

2. Do File > Get Info on selected title )

3. In the dialog choose Options tab

4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)

5. Close dialog.

6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version

Note: If you don't have Create AAC version, switch in menu File > Preferences... > General > Import Settings... > Import Using: AAC Encoder.

7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.

8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes. <-- This step is important

9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r

10. Drag and drop from desktop the ringtone into iTunes


Now you have a ringtone.


Make sure it is selected in iTunes > Tones for syncing with your new iPhone.
