comes up under custom ringtones once syncd
i aint gonna get bricked for this now am i?
:-S
-
Hey funktion,
Thanks for confirming that it works especially the 40 sec tip.
This will not brick your iPhone, so far the only time the iPhone has been bricked post firmware update is when you have unlocked your iPhone.
cheers!

How do you update to 1.1.2 ?? Or can you not do so in the US yet?
-
oops nevermind.. > <
-
I dont know what you guys are talking about, i updated to 7.5 and i used itoner to put on custom ringtones without a problem
-
I really dont know what people do with their iPhone. But it seems we always have mixed reviews. I for one is still using sendsongs on my firmware 1.1.1 with iTunes 7.5 and my ringtones work fine. I used my razr software to cut the songs and add to my iTunes and use sendsongs and they work fine I guess some phones must have issues then.. Mine came as virgin 1.1.1

How do you do the m4a ringtone hack? I converted an mp3 to m4a. I then added the song into iTunes. Then closed iTunes and renamed the file to m4r. Opened up iTunes and it didn't show up in the ringtones. I have iTunes 7.5, 1.1.2 firmware released today in the US and a Macbook Pro. Thanks
-
I figured it out!!
All you have to do is change the extension of an m4a to m4r.
Then right click the file, and select to open it in iTunes.
Then bam! It should show up in iTunes in the Ringtones section.
The file does have to be below 40 seconds, or else it won't show up on your iPhone.Peace, have fun!

It doesn't seem to work for me. Can anyone care to explain what I'm doing wrong? I have my itunes updated at 7.5 and my jail broken iphone at 1.1.2 (lastest one). I converted a mp3 into a m4a using Zamzar, I then renamed it to ringtone.m4r I open with itunes yet nothing happens, it just adds it as music.
P.S I looked up my ringtone.m4r on itunes and clicked its info, it says its located with ringtone.m4r.m4a is this suppose to happen? How do I really rename/change the extension? Right click rename obviously doesn't work. I can't find another way to convert an mp3 to m4a. However Zamzar seems to work. -
Dj Rayz, do you mean to change its extension to "name".m4r or to "name"m4r. I really cant get this to work. Yes, I am working with a m4a file. Using itunes or another converter to convert my Mp3s with.
-
YES! I finally got it to work, I just figured out how to change the extensions by going to folder options and not checking "hide extensions".
Hurray thanks for the hack!
-
I got through all the steps and in iTunes it says the ringtone is on my phone but, only on the right hand drop down list, no in the sync tab or actually on the phone. But, as u sync it says it sync'ed it...
Anyone have this problem?
-
GOT iT~!!!! I couldnt have the audio clip as long as 40 seconds. I tried a 7 second clip and a 30 second clip and both worked! HUZZAH!
-
I had to rename my clips to something different than what they are named in my library. I just add "Ring" to each song's name.
-
I finally got it to work... I used the following steps: Keep in mind that i am using 1.1.2 and 7.5.
1. Found a song I wanted to use that was not locked.
2. Drag and dropped the song from itunes to my desktop.
3. Opened Garage Band.
4. Created a new track with no effects.
5. Drag and dropped the file into that track.
6. Edited the file to shorter than 40 seconds.
7. Exported the song to itunes.
8. Right click on the song and hit convert selection to AAC
9. Delete the mp3 file.
10. Drag and drop the AAC (m4a) file to your desktop.
11. Close itunes.
12. Change the file extension from m4a to m4r.
13. At this stage i also renamed the song name... I just added rt to the end of the name to make it stand apart from others.
14. Right click on the file on your desktop and select open with / itunes.
15. It should show up and the next time you sync your phone it will show up under ring tones / custom.The previous instructions were not any too clear so i wanted to figure it out and make the process make more sense... Hope this helps. Good Luck and God Bless.

Nothing.
iTunes 7.5(19)
iPhone 1.1.2
Updated on 11-24-07Greater or less than 40 seconds makes no difference. Nothing appears in the Ringtones folders on iPhone or Mac.
Tried adding, copying to ringtones folder, converting in iTunes, out of iTunes.
File info shows it as a ringtone, but will not add to sync list or show up in ringtone folder.Does the original AAC file have to be an iTunes download? I'm using CDs I've burned into the library.
-
U can convert any mp3 track etc, doesnt matter if u got it from a CD or not. U do this though iTunes.
Right click the track you want & select 'Convert selection to aac' this will change it to an m4a file.If it says something different than 'Convert selection to aac' then go to Preferences under edit in iTunes & under 'Advanced' & then 'Importing'. Click on the drop down menu under 'import using' & select aac.
As explained already by a guy above, but make sure the file extendions are not hidden & rename it to .m4r
Then no need to close iTunes, just double click on it or open it with iTunes & u will be fine, it should then appear/play in iTunes under ringtones.
Then sync with iphone (make sure it has a tick on it in iTunes & also in iPhone & then under ringtones.Hopefully that made sence to anyone stuck.
I use Audacity for cutting the tracks down. -
stefan, I too am able to get it to pop up under the ringtone file on mboth my itunes and my iphone but it isnt actually on my phone. weird right? any luck?
-
the problem you are having is likely caused by the song file being too long. I had some trouble with this... Although you cut the audio to 40 seconds the other info in the file may be making itunes read it as longer. To check simply look at the track length in iTunes for the particular track. You may need to edit it down shorter.
-
I made a 15 second clip. I got it to show up as a ringtone in iTunes. After I synced it shows up in iTunes as being on the phone but it is not showing up under sounds on the phone.
confused
