Uberamd let me know if you want to take them down so that I can host them somewhere else otherwise thanks a million for hosting them on your server I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we really appreciate it
Bandwidth and space are never an issue. Contact me if you have more and I will upload them for you.
I have been having some computer troubles and I will be working on getting them sorted out hopefully it gets sorted out soon and we can get back on track here.
I am still accepting ringtone contributions at the supplied email in my op.

If anybody can find the Super Mario spitfire sound (the one it makes when the flower thing comes out of the box) it would be greatly appreciated. I am apparently horrible and searching for sounds.
i could find it if i had a computer to search on
infact im pretty sure that i have the spitball sound on my computer
New & A Question ??
Hello,
I am new to these boards and I just downloaded one of the ringtone packs at the beginning of this thread. Thank you for providing these, but I have a question.
Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing (very possible!), but I downloaded them and they appeared in my iTunes "ringtones" folder and when I went to sync my iPhone 3G, it acted as though it was syncing all of these new ringtones, but after I disconnected the device from my computer & went into my ringtones on my iphone, none of the new downloaded tones were there.
What did I do wrong?
Am I missing something?
I would appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks in advance!

make sure "sync ringtones" is selected
and this is a great post, one of the most useful ive seen on here in a while, good job OP
Yes, I checked sync all ringtones and it "appeared" to be syncing them, but after it was over, there were tiny exclamations next to every downloaded file in my iTunes that read, "Cannot find original file location; locate now?"
So, I tried that.
I located the original downloaded file of one ringtone and then the little exclamation mark disappeared, but after I tried to sync it again, the exclamation mark returned and it once again said it could not locate the file.
I have never had any problem like this before. I have downloaded other iTunes-friendly, created ringtones before, with no issues like this.
I have had my iPhone 3G for exactly 1 year and it is fully updated to the latest software.
Thanks again for any help that is offered.
make sure you leave the file where it is when you are copying it to itunes.
for ex. If its on desktop, and then you copy the ringtones over to itunes, the file should remain on desktop aswell.
if that doesnt help, not sure what else is wrong
Ok, I'm going to check and see if that's the problem... I'm not sure if I deleted the downloaded files from the desktop or not; I will check & see. I appreciate your help.
It Didn't Work =(
I even tried re-downloading the zip files and then directly saving them to my iTunes Ringtones folder... to no avail.
Then I tried copying the files from the Desktop folder directly to my iTunes folder.
Still didn't work.
Has iTunes created some kind of block against this sort of thing?
Has no one else experienced what I am talking about?

When you download the file. Do you drag and drop them into iTunes? Have you "activated" the ringtones in your iTunes preferences? When your syncing then over do just sync them all? Or are you syncing only the selected?
Ringtones can't be more then 40 seconds long or they don't show up on the iPhone. Make sure you have imported them first into iTunes itself or there can be some syncing problems, that's all that I can think of right now.
thanks I wanted to make it easy for people to get ringtones without having to search all over the place
Thank you, Acronym. I will try to answer your questions:
I have tried dragging & dropping them into iTunes, copying the files to iTunes, and saving the file directly to iTunes. Nothing works.
Yes, I have activated the ringtones in my iTunes preferences as I have created ringtones for my own use and I have downloaded other ringtones online.
I have tried syncing them all and syncing only a few checked at a time. Neither way worked. =(
I appreciate your trying to help me.
I'm going to keep messing with it and hopefully I will figure it out.
If you think of anything else I can try, though, please let me know!
Thanks again.

i checked my ringtone settings i dont have it set to sync them i have "manualy manage music and videos" checked so i just drag my ringtones over from itubes onto my iphone icon and they all appear as they should (unless they are too long)
try manualy adding them without using itunes syncing option and see if that works

I don't know if this is the issue or not, but I just downloaded these (thanks a ton, btw!) and I previewed a couple. That automatically played them in iTunes. However, I hadn't yet unzipped the files. So the next time I played them - little exclamation marks. Make sure you open the file and DON'T see "extract all" - if you do, there's your problem... still zipped up. Easy enough to solve though.
It Worked!
Ok, I feel like such an idiot.
I really did think I had unzipped them, but apparently, I did not.
What finally worked was actually deleting all of the unzipped files from iTunes, then going into my downloads file and "extracting" them there and sending the extracted copies directly to a new folder. Then, when I previewed them in the new folder, they opened in iTunes and worked perfectly.
I was then able to sync all of them to my phone.
I'm sorry; I can't believe it was so simple. THANK YOU very much for your help & THANK YOU Acronym for the awesome ringtones! They are amazing.

Has anyone managed to get the Price is Right Theme to actually sync to their iPhone? For some reason its in my iTunes ringtones but doesn't get synced or show up in the list when I tried to manually select the ringtones to be synced to my iPhone. All the others I've tried have worked though.
