I had about 4 ringtones that was on the ringtone tab on itunes but not getting on my iphone. I made them all under or right at 40 seconds and now they are all there. Also you might know this already but you can just swap any ATT sim card into an iphone like any other cell phone out there. Tired it with about 4 sim cards and they all worked. I have the new 8 gig 3G Iphone. Thanks, correction it has to be under 40 seconds long. I had about 4 ringtones that was on the ringtone tab on itunes but not getting on my iphone.

I drag the converted to AAC to desktop and can see the file there but it just shows the name ie. alicia rather than alicia.m4a so I can't change it to .m4r Any ideas? I'm a windows xp user.

I have iTunes 7.5. I tried the above without complete success, but I did have partial success...at least it lead me in the right direction. The trick is to make sure your ring tone is 30 secs. or smaller. The newer patches thru apple must use file size to keep the aac files/m4a files from working. You can use garage band or a free ware (http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/) to slice the song. It works great and took me like a few minutes to work. So, to recap: 1st, slice the song to 30 sec. or lower. Open it in iTunes after saving it. Convert to AAC right click or command-click on song in iTunes, show file in folder. drag file to ringtones folder in iTunes Duplicate the m4a file right click/command click duplicated file and go to show info (or command i) change extension to .m4r this worked for me...hopefully will for others until apple creates a patch. I hope it helps... i paid for these songs and i wanna use it :P Ok guys… I have iTunes 7.5.

Here is my addition: Original Instructions Appear to be GOOD, with exception of a typo of file type, but if you look in the folders of music you can see that. Other Notes that may help: * Yes, use audio editor to clip to 30 seconds or less !!! * export into mp3 filetype * use audio editor to embedded properties on meta info, i.e. songname-ringtone.mp3, this helped me get the RIGHT FILE into itunes. * import into as music * iTunes 7.5(19) DID allow the conversion to ac3 !! High Lite file, click advanced... it worked for me. * make sure to copy file .m4a (songname-ringtone.m4a to .m4r ) copy to your desktop to see it !!! Confirm the Open-With is going to use itunes. * if you use editor on file (Audacity,etc) change your Open-With properly on the mp3 file type Maybe this helps a little... iTunes crashed the first time I opened the ringtone on my MAC... yeah... go figure... It's just like Windows. Tenacity, all of these posted helped unlock several clues…
