iPhone ringtone issue.

So I have tried a few different things that I have read on the internet. The first was to download a song from itunes and right click > create ringtone. When I do this, it tells me the song I just bought "can no longer be made into a ringtone". I don't get that, I haven't played it or uploaded it to anything yet.

The next step was to follow a tip on the internet, and that was to change the extension on and AAC file to M4R. I tried this, and itunes recognizes it as a ringtone, but when I try to sync it, it does not show up under the ringtones tab on the phone so that I can sync it. The tip came with a waiver saying that no one has gotten it to work with a file over 3.1mb. The song I tried was cut down to about 2.5. Again, nothing.

I have the 1.1.3 software, cause it is brand new. I am not big on using the jailbreak software, but I guess if that is the only option, than I might have to try it. However, I am willing to pay for ringtones, which is what I thought I was doing by the song through itunes, then paying another .99 to cut it to the part of the song I want. Can't get that far though.


Any ideas?

Thanks,
swany
 
You have to make sure and cut the song down to 30 seconds or less and then it will work. I had the same problem.
 
yeah, thanks for the replies. I too would like to know if there is a windows version. Or how a free program that will let me cut a song down.

Thanks

I tried audacity, unfortunately it requires the file to be wav, or mp3. I only have m4a files. Is there a free program that converts them?
 
You may have to download the songs through iTunes again. It happened to me. For some reason some of the songs I downloaded were not ringtone capable and now that I downloaded one of them again to troubleshoot, it worked.

I would call Apple Support for iTunes and see if you could get a credit for the ones you decide to make a ringtone with.
 
Thanks! I took my custom mp3 ringtones from my Moto Q and tossed them on my iPhone this morning in all of 5 min.
