Why is adding ringtones so difficult?

Downloaded iRinger
It is 100% free and does all the work for you. All you do is select what part of the song you want, choose to add fades, and then add it to ITunes.

 

Do you have a Mac or PC?

Did you make sure the length was 40 secs or less?

 

I just made another ringtone last night using the iTunes/convert ACC/change to m4r method....no problems. Strange that it won't sync over to your device. Is your device jailbroken?

 

Is "Sync Ringtones" checked under the "Ringtones" tab of the iPhone?

I have about 33 ringtones on my phone, made the same way... no problems. The only issue that I ever had was when I was manually syncing songs and videos. In that case, for some reason All of the ringtones were the same... 33 copies of the top tone.

Anyway, when I restored my phone it wouldn't sync ringtones, but I noticed that I forgot to check the box to do so.

Hope this helps, it's easily overlooked!

 

+1. This program is great.

 

You're looking in the wrong place. When you plug your phone into your computer and start iTunes, in the sidebar you should see your iPhone. If you click that it will bring you to the screen where you can check for an update/restore. Across the top of that screen are various tabs. Click on the one labeled "ringtones" and make sure "Sync Ringtones" is checked. Hope that clears things up.

 

Wow...

PS If you're iPhone isn't charging properly, make sure it's plugged into the wall.

 

Ringer. It's a cheap application for Macs that makes ringtones very easily. They go straight to your iTunes ringtones list. Easy to use, great quality.. worth the money.

+2...thats what I use..it's free and easy(import,preview,export) done.

 

Is there an equivalent program for a Mac?

Thanks!

 

No clue I am a PC person myself.

 

My issue is that many of the songs I have downloaded and paid for in iTunes aren't able to be converted to ringtones in iTunes. It gives me the message that "this song is no longer able to be converted into a ringtone" or something like that.

EDIT: It seems like only some of the songs I bought through iTunes are giving me that error message. Oh well.

 

that was a great site, but recently its down the pan, you have to pay to use it now.

 

If you manually manage your music, you can also just highlight the ringtones and drag it to the phone. That's what I do. When I tried to sync ringtones with my 3GS, it wanted to sync all my music. Don't know if that's changed with the new itunes (having to sync all music), but dragging it over is super easy.

 

No you don't have to pay. I'm sure you are reffering the message that says 3.00 to get ringtone?

That's just to get it texted to your phone. Hit skip this and it will let you download the m4r for free. This had me confused before but that's what you can do still for free

 

Says who? I just made my own ringtone from youtube and put it on my phone 10 seconds ago.

It's free, and you don't have to download any programs to make it run, copy and paste the youtube link, choose the section you want as a ringtone, download, and it already opens up in your itunes.. synch phone, and walla..

still free, and still the best and easiest way to get ringtones..

when i clicked on download ringtone, i got this page saying to subscribe for £10 a month. so left the site, went back there just now, same thing, but noticed at the bottom of the page there's a list of "my ringtones" and download links next to them. think they redesigned the site to try and get people to pay them whilst hiding the free downloads thats all.

edit, see screenshot, first time i went to the site, i didn't have that at the bottom of the screen, so it looked like i had to pay a subscription fee to get the ringtones. which annoyed me as i had been using it fine for years, but not so much recently.

 

Try FoneTones

I'm not trying to spam the forum, but I think you might actually get use out of one of my apps, FoneTones. It lets you create ringtones right on your iPhone using the music in your iPod library. You still have to sync the ringtones to your iPhone using iTunes, but there's a step by step walkthrough in the app's description in the App Store.

If you're not interested in that, you can check out this article from MacLife http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/create_custom_iphone_ringtones. Good luck.

 

yeh i agree... its easy and simple. give it a try
