[nabs-l] downloading ring tones to I-phone

[Josh Gregory]

Good morning, you need to download The files you want to make into ringtones to your computer, and then make sure that the sync Ringtone thing is checked in iTunes by going to the ring tone section of your device and clicking the sync all ring tones checkbox. Then, you've got to go to iTunes, add the file that you want to make into a ring tone into your library, then, when this is done, find that particular file that you just added, open your context menu, and go down to get info. From here, you've got a lot of tabs, but the options tab is the one you should be concerned with here. You want to check the start and end checkboxes and then enter an appropriate time in each field. It should be noted that a ringtone can be no longer than 40 seconds. After you're done with all of that, click okay, and then find the file that you just modified. Then, go to the context menu again and click create AAC version. After this is done, find that version, then again go to the context menu, and click show in explorer. From here, you want to rename the file extension from m4a to m4r. After this is done, you want to find this file, and copy to the clipboard with control+c. Then, you'll need to get back to iTunes with all Cplus tab, because you will be in the default Windows Explorer. From here, go to the ring tones section and paste your M4r file into the tones table. Then, just sync your device and you should be good.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this, as I  do all of this on a Macintosh now, I haven't done it on Windows in some time.
I hope this helps someone.
Thanks very much,
Josh

>> Hi all,
>> I hope you are well. I am trying to download ring tones to my I-phone and was wondering if someone could help me? I downloaded an app that allows me to download ring tones for free, but when I check my phone in the ring tones tab in settings the ring tones I downloaded are not there. I read in the app that the ring tones should show up in I-tunes, but when I go to downloads, they are not there. How can I download ring tones and transfer them to my phone to be able to find them when I go to settings and go to ring tones? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
