Custom Ringtones without Jailbreaking WORKS with the new 1.1.2 Firmware Update!!!

[ColsTiger]

I finally was able to correct the issue of multiple copies of the same ringtone: altho I had been using iTunes 7.6.1.9, I checked and found a new vers (7.6.2) and installed it. Now the ringtones work fine on the iPhone. Also, I'm happy to learn about iRinger. It is certainly quicker than creating the r/t files manually.

Thanks to all who commented

Cool. I wonder why 7.6.1.9 was causing those problems. Maybe that explains why so many people were having this problem a few weeks ago.

will it work on an unlocked phone?

This has been tested and proven over at Macrumors.

1. Create a ringtone as mp3 (less than 30 seconds long).
2. Import into iTunes.
3. Convert to ACC.
4. Rename extension to m4r.
5. Drag the file into the ringtones folder.

You can then sync your custom ringtone with your iPhone. It works like a charm.

Have fun guys and gals! I'm so glad that I can finally use CTU as my ringtone.

Can anyone tell me a good program to edit MP3's or MP4's to 30 seconds in length....? Without using GarageBand....?

Audacity is an excellent open-source audio editing program.

of course, it is possible to do it in iTunes, but it is much more straightforward to use software like garageband or audacity.

I must not be downloading the right version of Audacity or something because everytime I open a sing and play it, it's either really jarbbled or playing in super super slo-mo..... I don't get it

I am using a Mac OSX 10.4.11, with Itunes 7.6.2 and Iphone 1.1.4, can anyone give me any clues how to make my own ringtones??
I tried a few .m4r files but they don't show up in Itunes when I dbl click them, or even if i drag them to User/music/iTunes/Itunes Music/Unknown Artist/Unkown Artist

Can anyone help??

have you tried dragging them onto the "ringtone" tab in iTunes?

Hey there I am trying to convert some ringtones from my old phone and am running into some problems. My old ringtones are in mp3 and wav formats. They imported fine into itunes, but everytime I try converting them to AAC they just show up as their original format. I never get to the point where I can rename the extension. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks for any help

you can't do it directly in itunes. you have to view the file in a window, enable the viewing of extensions (if you haven't already), and then change it to *.m4r.

are you using windows?
