i tried it but for some reason i get stuck here

7. Drag the file to your desktop. (Since the new AAC format ringtone starts playing automatically, it will have a speaker next to it, which makes it easy to determine which file you need to drag)

i drag the file to my desktop but it does not give me a chance to change it to .m4r. i dont even see "songname.m4a." can u plz help me!!! thanks

I just followed the steps to make a ringtone and I got an iTunes messages saying "You can only create ringtones from songs purchased at the itunes store"

Has no one else got this message? Regarding iTunes...How Rude!

I just found this link today on CB's sister site, The iPhone Blog.

Check it out, very nice website. Makes great ringtones. Just upload the song you want. Drag and select the portion you want. Click create and then download the .m4r file. Works perfectly, just like iTunes but free. It even adds a fade in/out at the beginning and end.

Thanks for the link. Just like you said - very slick, defeatable fade in/fade outs and you've got a ringtone cropped to your specs in 1 minute or less. Gotta love it.

I guess I don't understand why anybody would want a 40 second ring tone. Has anybody ever sat on a phone for that long, listening to a ringer? I make my tones 20 seconds. That seems to jive with the amount of rings before my voicemail starts.

To each their own I suppose. Rock on.

You probably need to change your windows setting. Go to tools/folder options/ & hit the second tab. You need to uncheck the "hide known file type extensions" so that it will show the file extension & then you can just right click & rename.

CrazEtooN,

Hey, just thought I'd give you, and anyone else this may help, an update on my situation. I found and fixed my problem.

After much messing around with iTunes and trying to figure out why my iPhone 3g would only upload a few ring tones, and do multiples of the same song in some instances. I figured I would start from scratch and reinstall my iPhone through iTunes. However, every time I tried to do this, it would get through the reinstall about half way and then iTunes would tell me that my "iPhone is not responding". I did this 6 or so times before calling Apple tech support (thankfully I purchased the Apple Care Protection Plan with my iPhone).

After going through Apples tech support, all the way to one of their iPhone specialists, come to find out that my iPhone would install just fine on my wife's computer. I have an Asus A8N SLI Premium motherboard, and as such, the drivers provided on my motherboard drivers disc to upgrade my USB ports from 1.0 to 2.0 were "supposed to be included with Windows XP Service Pack 1". However, after re-installing my computer and MS service packs 1 AND 2, I still didn't have USB 2.0, and every time I connected my iPhone, Windows would tell me "This device can perform faster if connected to a USB 2.0 port etc etc".

The way I found to correct this problem was to go into "Device Manager" in XP, my USB hub controler had a "yellow exlamation", I right clicked the USB with the exclamation, clicked "Update driver", Windows found the proper driver, and I suddenly had USB 2.0.

Prior to my iPhone 3G, I never had cause to transfer a ton of data via USB, so I never knew that my ports weren't converted to 2.0. The difference in transfer rates from USB 1.0 to 2.0 is NIGHT AND DAY! USB 2.0 is easily 3 times faster!

In conclusion, USB 1.0 was the source of ALL of my issues with iTunes... or, at least all of the transfer issues.

I hope this helps anyone else that may be having any kinds of issues transferring anything to their iPhone 3G, from songs, movies, data, reinstall, check that you ARE connected to a USB 2.0 port!!!


Thanks, CrazEtooN for all of your help, and, by the way, ALL 100 of my ringtones that I painstakingly went back and re-edited to 39 seconds WORK on my iPhone 3G.

Cheers!
