Stupid custom ringtone problem (iP4) - won't sync

[karansaraf]

Hey guys,

I've followed all the tips on how to make a custom ringtone from a song on my library.

I've edited the file down to 29 seconds, imported the mp3 into iTunes, converted to AAC, found the folder containing the m4a and renamed to m4r, dragged the m4r into iTunes, where it has been placed in the "Ringtones" section of my library. However, when I sync my iP4, it does not sync into the "Ringtones" section of the iPhone. The file is m4r and 29.543 seconds long.

Any help?

Try manually dragging the ringtone to the iPhone within iTunes?

Ok, so I selected "manually manage..." in the iPhone options and manually dragged the m4r to the iPhone. It worked.

HOWEVER, I want to be able to automatically sync my library and apps, and when I unchecked the manual option, it removed the ringtone from my iphone the as soon as it synced.

Any more ideas?

Make sure "sync ringtones" under the ringtones tab is selected

Not a uncommon mistake!...enjoy...

Just for reference audiko.net is great to create and crop ringtones and they download and go directly to the right folder on itunes.

make sure they're under 30 seconds.

make sure they're under 30 seconds.

I have seen many comments similar to the above, and it seems that it is the popular wisdom.

I have had a different experiance though, I have a 31 second self made ringtone and it works just fine.

40 seconds is the maximum. I make all of mine 40.

Click on your iPhone on the left hand side, and then...

I use a PC as well....and you do see that. First you need to click on your iPhone icon on the left of the iTunes screen. Then you will see that screen as shown in the picture...select Ringtones...select Sync Ringtones.
