Still works! just follow steps up to file extension renaming. Then make sure your phone is plugged into the desktop and drag the m4r file into the tones section that shows up under your phone. The new method nowadays is to use garage band bug I did not want to download a 1.3gb app just to get a ring tone. This method is still the most intuitive if you have access to a pc/laptop.
I had been working on this all afternoon. Downloaded 2 different apps that didn't work. Found your video and voila...........this 74 year old did it, with your help. THANK YOU SO MUCH.....
Once I get to the 3:22 point I can't continue because there is no "Edit Menu" option when I left click on the Music tab there at the top left. The only options are Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts and Audio Books.
please help me, Im trying to make a song as my ringtone but when I clicked on music theres no "edit menu" button for me to click on. I'm on windows 11 and I downloaded itunes from the microsoft store. I tried clicking on edit next to library and there isnt an option for tones.
I tried to add my own ringtone through apps but iTunes no longer allows apps to show on iPhone device sidebar. This tutorial WORKED for me! Thank you MDTech
You made this video so simple and straight to the point love it and its actually worked for me definitely getting a thumbs up and will be sharing with my friends.
I found a fix to many peoples problem. There is no tones section in the drop down menu. What you have to do is follow the video as usual but make the length of your ringtones 35 seconds or less. Then follow the video as usual. When you have renamed the file plug in your iPhone and open the tone section within the drop down for the iPhone options. You can then just drag in the ringtone and press the sync button at the bottom of iTunes. Please like this comment so it can be seen by other people and hopefully fix the problem.
Thank you so much! I had NO issues following your simple instructions. I had to look for another video that could help me with this cause the previous videos I had saved from an few years ago just wasn't the same I guess after the updates iTunes went through over the years.. Again, thanks a million!
Hey there, I'm a simple guy wanting to get myself my own ringtone. I'm using the same thing but for this year I'm not sure why but I can't see the edit thing. What version do I need to redownload or what do I need to do if I can't see "edit Manu"?
Hi can you tell me how should I left click or right click using a short cut because I have vision problems? Or by pressing alt I should press some thing else.
it worked ! Thank you. For the people that cant find the "Tone" selection, I connected my phone to itunes then in the phone menu, i dragged the file into tones and it worked. I have an Iphone XR so it should work for everyone
Right now, the limit of time is only 40 sec, since this video is 1 year ago, so it's not all relevance now. All u need to do is set the limit from 45 sec to 40 sec, the rest just follow the video.
Everthing went well until I got to the part ofhitting thee Music tab at the top of the ITunes page and clicking on"Edit Menu". There is no such icon in my Music Icon. What now? Harry
quick question it all woked great and made the ringtone and its on my phone but my question is can i delete the ringtone from my itunes on computer so it wont be on my music?
Hey guys, my problem was I was trying too trade it from the explorer file. Once I dragged it on my desktop after making it mp4, then dragging it into iTunes, it finally worked! gl too those trying.
Great video. I misunderstood the title of your video. I thought the demonstration was trying to make ringtones from iTunes on an iPhone, not a desktop.
Got as far as creating the AAC version but instead of an additional version being created, the original version has been reduced to one second, so I’ll have to purchase the song all over again!
Easy to follow along all the steps but it was in the re-naming part on the desktop that things got sour. Nowhere does it say M4a when I do it. Nowhere. I've spent hours on this now and am so frustrated I don't even wanna begin. Since there is nowhere to change from M4a to R. I guess I'm screwed I only see the song name. No M4a anywhere. What do I do?
@@MegaCHRISPANG Hey! Found the Tones section under my iPhone, but iTunes won't let me drop the file from Winexpl. directly to iPhone. Any ideas on how to make this work?
Question im trying to covert my music to ringtones and i did everything you said, but my icloud music library states that since i have enabled it cannot copy so then when i turn it off it then its says my iphone is not found. Then i try looking for the song on my phone and it shows up in the apple music where i cant even put the song as my ringtone. Do you know what i need to do to fix this problem.
Adrienne Ammons sometimes that happens but you just have to go back and make sure the file you changed and the OG file still exists and that they are both in iTunes. That might help. I’m not too sure as I’ve had issues before too but I still manage to get the tone on my phone after messing around with some things.

same i've done everything he says until edit menu to add tones
Plug your phone into your pc with a charger, then when it connects and everything it should say it
you have to connect your phone to your computer and tones should come up on the left side of the iTunes window
it works guys !!!! but you have to know when your music is gonna start or stops... if not from the begining
You're welcome!
Hi thanks for the video! I can’t seem to create AAC version it only lets me convert ID3 tags… I’m using a MacBook too
even in 2023 this tutorial is still one of the best
Glad it helped
Why isn’t it pasting in my tones section? When I had my iPhone 7 Plus this worked perfectly now I have the 12 the song isn’t pasting in my tones😢
I want a text tone to be from Arkham asylum the chimes lol
I can’t seem to find the tunes tab cause there is no edit menu.
When I try to convert the song it gives me Four options that aren’t active= I cant chose them. 🤔
make sure its selected in the "Songs" section in itunes
I went through all the steps only to find the ringtone is in music on the phone instead of the ringtone folder

I don't see the Tones tab in the iTunes. I hate Apple for making just a simple task of changing a ringtone a fucking nightmare.
Thanks for the video but I can’t edit the debut and fin even can’t select them Waht I should do?
It won’t let me create the AAC version what should I do please ??
i have the same problem
Check for iTunes updates
Already did
you have to dissconnect your iphone from the pc to do this, in the songs tab, not in the music tab, then AAC version will work
which itunes version do you use coz i'm not able to set ringtone
I cannot find "Tones" anywhere on my iTunes.
drag the m4r file straight into the phones tab and it will appear on your phone
I did everything. I don’t have a tones sidebar anywhere. I’m on a 2015 up to date MacBook Air.
How do I get music in the folder without paying
Is there a way I’m been trying for 5 weeks just to get a custom ringtone on iOS 15
If you can kindly elaborate, I will do my best to assist.
Tones does not show up why is that?

To find tones connect your phone to the computer.
If you can't transfer the song right away - end iphone sync process or wait.

it won’t allow me to link it, it has a red circle with a line rather than the blue linking arrow
and then they have exclamation marks next to the aac ones with the m4r extension
