Free Custom Ringtones

Otsirc said:
Sorry to bump this thread, I just have a quick question.

When I move the AAC version from iTunes to the desktop, and rename it, the file type doesn't convert.

So for example, I'll bring "Fix Up, Look Sharp" by Dizzee Rascal onto the desktop.

I rename it from "Fix Up, Look Sharp" to "Fix Up, Look Sharp.m4r" but when I look at the properties of the song it says "Name: Fix Up, Look Sharp.m4r m4a" or something along those lines.

Thanks for an excellent topic though, Acronym! Well done :D

thanks, I figured I'd save people time and hopefuly avoid a billion posts on "how do I make iPhone ringtones?" but mods don't sticky it so these bumps are good for new comers to see it, especialy with up to date posts on peoples semi-frequently asked questions.

And now to your problem.

It's an easy mistake made by many I'm sure, (I know I made it first time round), what you need to do is set the file extensions to be shown, not sure how to do it on a mac (maybe someone can tell us) but if you set the file extensions to be shown, as described in the guide it will change the format accordingly.

So what this means is when extentions are shown the file will look like this

ringtone.m4a ------ the files format is shown ie .mp3 .aiff .wav etc

where as if the show extensions prefence is turned off it will look like this

ringtone (nothing else no exstentions).

Now I just to figure out a way of changing the ringtone for ALL of my contacts, so I don't have to go through and do it for each individual contact ^^

haha no problem.

as far as i know it is impossible, i think you might be able to make groups of contacts and set ringtones to groups but I'm not to sure.
 
Does this work on that Mac too? Ive just sold my Vista laptop and got a MBP so before i try i thought id ask if it works. Looked at that iringer and it said you had to buy a bit of software for £60!

Sorry to bump an old(ish) thread, but I've gotten my ringtone in iTunes showing up under the ringtones menu, synced it to my phone but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to find it on my phone.

If they synced over properly then go to Settings > General > sounds > ringtone
 
Phone not answering with custom ringtone

Okay I think I did everything correctly in making a custom ringtone. It syncs in Itunes. When I check it in the phone settings it sounds fine. But when it's selected as the ringtone and someone calls me nothing happens. I get no sound at all...

Is it me? Or am I missing something??

thanks.

does it play properly in itunes? and you can see it on your phone? how long is your ringtone? I have had ringtones skip your best bet may be to just remake the ringtone.
