here’s something I wrote on another site for making ringtones for your iphone:
using windows:
go to itunes and find the file you’d like as a ringtone. right click file > get info > options. find a part of the song you like, approx. 25-35 seconds or so and put in the time in: start time and end time. press ok and right click again > convert to AAC.
go to your music folder (it shuold be there) and find the itunes folder. Go to itunes music and you’ll have a file there. Rename the file from YOURFILENAME.m4a to YOURFILENAME.m4r. If it doesn’t work and a message doesn’t pop out saying that you’re changing the file extension, then:
Control panel > Appearance and themes > folder options > view > uncheck hide extensions for known types
rename file from: FILENAME.m4a to FILENAME.m4r
double click file and it should pop up in the ringtones section. sync your iphone and it should work.
VOILA~
Did my post help you?
Thank me by buying me a cup of coffee via PAYPAL here!
NEYUGN 
thank you! worked perfectly
wow thank you so much
i couldnt see the .m4a before
That piece of advice about showing the extensions really solved my problem. Thank you!
It worked perfectly! The fact that you show the extensions made the difference! Even had a picture of what to do! Thanks!
Hi paul try checking the bits and bobs it says to do in controol pannel after press ok then try Renaming
I did everything you said and it all worked except that it doesnt show up in my ringtones, it’s still in music. Even the file extension says m4r so I am not sure what to do. Any ideas? tlmatx@gmail.com
Thanks
Tom
I had the same problem until I went to the “dropdown” box in iTunes. It now shows Tones. Yay!!!
same here . is there any update??
It’s not in my ringtones tab on iTunes , I did everything but no lucc 😔 What do I do???
i have the same problem as tom ?? smoker.8@hotmail.com what do i do
you must make sure you tick the ringtones section when you next synch your iphone. make sure you click on your iphone icon when synching to itunes and then clickk on ringtones tab. hopefully this wil work
they will then appear in setting – sounds – ringtones – at the top of your ringtones list
moo moo
still doesn’t show up in the ringtones folder on my iphone. x
I did everything that was instructed and it’s still not working.. I don’t think the song is changing to m4r. Can someone please help me do this on windows?
stevie, I found out how on yahoo answers, answered by ”sushi”
(…)
-then go to settings
-control panel
-apperance
-folder option
-view
-uncheck hide extensions
-then just change whatever file you want to “myfile.m4r”
When moo moo means “tick” the “ringtones” section he means “tick” the “tones” section when your iPhone is connected to iTunes! Hope that helps.
It worked! Thanks a lot!
You, kind sir, are a genius!
^
ma’am you mean 🙂
Did Apple close this loop with 2.0.2? This used to work for me, but it doesn’t seem to any more…
Still works with 2.0.2. Jus add the file to your library after changing the file name.
You Star! Thanx a bunch!
awesome just perfect, I won’t ever buy again on Itunes lol.
you bought on itunes before? :O
when i fin the file in tunes folder it hasnt got eh m4a after it
what do i do plz
when i find the file in tunes folder it hasnt got eh m4a after it
what do i do plz
Instead of finding the file, just drag the converted AAC song straight from your iTunes library onto your desktop, then rename the extension to ‘.m4r’. Go into your Ringtones library in iTunes then go to File > Add File To Library. Then find your file on your desktop and click open. If it is 30 seconds or less, it should be in your Ringtones library.
Hope this helps 🙂
I can get the .m4r file to recognize the new stop time. so the file isn’t cropped to less than 30 seconds. any ideas? I have itunes 9.1.1.12 and used the convert to AAC from Advanced. then options for selecting start/stop time. copied to desktop and added to ringtones using “add file to library”.
I think I love you!! After weeks of hair pulling, screaming and just about throwing my Iphone out of the window, not to mention the swearing at Apple, I now have some decent ringtones on my phone.
Thank you so much! You have saved me a fortune on counselling fees!
add me on msn as soon as possible plz
Bakeyboy15@hotmail.co.uk
im completely blonde when it comes to stuff like this but that was so easy coz u explained it so well!!! thanks so much!!
Dear Kind Ma’am,
I’ve got the m4r in my windows explorer folder, and in my Ringtones Library.
great so far…
It just wont Sync to the iPhone on 2.0.2…what gives?
It doesn’t show up in the Ringtones tab under Snyc All Ringtones either.
Any advice for a poor hack?
thx
i al ready follow all the steps, but when you say that i have to change m4a to m4r i cant make it, i enter in properties but it doesnt allow me to change, how can i make it?
ko: I’m sorry I’m still using 1.1.2 so I don’t know.
alberto:
Control panel > Appearance and themes > folder options > view > uncheck hide extensions for known types
then try again…
I tried again and again to convert the extension, i did what you said but it just will not let me change it.
thank you, I was also having this problem and that step fixed it for me 🙂
Genious, this worked for me. make the extension visible then change it, then add it to itunes. thanks bro.
Sr. You are a genius, it worked for me just as it did for Alberto. Gracias!!
plz translate the “control panal” step in german.. i dont know where i can find this way..
thank you so much. I’ve had problems with this for the last couple of hours & you’ve just solved it. thank you!!
i did convert the file to ACC but i can’t change the extention until i understand how to do it by going through the control panel
GREAT information .. thank u
Thank you very much
It worked
thanks so much for the tip. thought i’d have to spend 1-2 bucks every time i needed a ring tone 😀
thanks
works perfectly without any problem
OMG IT WORKS thank you soooooo much. really easy to understand too, unlike most tutorials i read. thank you again
very helpfull, worked perfectly
Dude…that was the missing link…the show hidden file ext…Awesome!!!!
it works but when syncing a new tone it overwrites the old tones. it shows the same tone listed numerous times. any thoughts?
THANKS!!!
thanks it works and easy to apply
i have the ring m4r
file in my itunes library but it doesnt show in my sounds on my phone. plz help
Same problem here the m4r file shows in i tunes library but i doesn’t sync with the i phone. this is happening with only format converted files. if i download m4r files from net then it works fine please share solution for this
eveyrthing works fine i’ve done all the steps as described, but when i try to sync, it gives me an error saying that it couldn’t be sync because the file was not found. I play the rintune (20 sec.) perfectly from Itunes, so how come it doesn’t sync? 😦
im sorry, can soomeone help me? thank you
Hey. I did all of this and it worked perfectly but how do i actually get it working on my iphone?
Once you change to a m4r file you have to move it to “your ringtones” folder and double click on files so they will show up in your itunes “ringtones”. Once this is done you should see it on your phone when you sync!!
work greattttttttttttttt
I love you.
ive been trying for ages and ages and ages and ages, and you had it all perfectly on one page.
thanksyou =]
Finally!!!!
Thank you very much. It was a simple setting change…Well done.
Thank you, finally someone that has a complete detail for pc users. Yours was the first out of 20 others I looked at that finally had my missing solution for folder options.
thanks god ur the best
Work’d like a charm! awesome thank you
you are a smart one. keep up the smart habits.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! XXXXXX
THANK YOU!!!!! it worked!!!
you rock!!! i was going to purchase ringtones from itunes, but at the last minute i saw this site. thank you. i saved some money :p
VIOLA you are a*.the method you explained worked out fine for me after trying from other sources but failed numerous times.Happy new year entire crew.
k folks – i changed the ext. and now it shows up in my itunes ringtones, also in my iphone ringtones but not my actual iphone. guess it did notsync with my iphone – says files is not found but is in my music itunes folder. can u please help? thanks
Hello i tried to convert but i am not understanding it at all….Sorry can you please help me step by step thank you….I couldn’t find Appearance and themes
hey I have windows vista and after i clicked control pannel appearance and themes didn’t show up…where can i find that?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I couldn’t get the file extension to show up and went on the internet to find a way to fix it and came upon your site & directions. It was so helpful! Thank you!!
You are a saint. Apple for some reason wants money for the music, the ringtones and almost anything else you can put on their iPod,iPhone, and iTouch lines. Thank you for making this so simple. I really appreciate it. You’re a saint!
thanks- sweet!
man you are a big help thanks a ton!!
I did everything you said and it all worked except that it doesnt show up in my ringtones, it’s still in music. Even the file extension says m4r so I am not sure what to do. Any ideas?
I had this same problem, but if you install an old version of iTunes on a different computer it WILL work!!!
I tried unistalling and reinstalling old version and that wont work
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
OMG THANK YOU!
I was having so much trouble with the other sites because it would only instruct how to do this with Apple computers.. so this is great. Thakn you 🙂
THANK YOU! Ive been trying to figure that out for HOURS! It helped a lot!
I LOVE YOU !
I tried sooo much but nothing worked!
Now i have mp3 ringtones 🙂
Thank you !
i tried every step over and over again until i figured it out. It works and very well.
There is also a torrent site that will tell you abt the same thing except putting the m4a file on ur desktop and then convert it to m4r, b4 putting it back in itunes. Dont do that cuz you will wanna delete it again from ur desktop and with the next sync of ur iphone you will loose the ringtone. go to ur itunes folder, standard on ur c drive music folder.
thanks, i works perfectly
that was awesome..this was one of the things that bugged me the most about the iphone and you’ve solved that =)
OMG i have been sitting there for 3days trying to DL a program that converts it blah blah blah and i still didnt get one and then i tried this thinking it wasnt goin to work but IT DID!!!
OMG thanks so much its awesome good thinking!!
“two thumbs up!”
tu es bon merci 😛
You’re awesome!!!! Thanx so much!!!!!!
FUCK YES.
THANKS A FUCK LOAD!!

Brill your a star, i was just about to give it up as a bad job..! I’m so glad someone knows what they are doing..!
Thanks ever so much for sharing the know how..!
🙂
iLove you iTruely do.
Thank you! I was hung up on where to get the setting to be able to change the file extension, and was getting frustrated! Once I git that part, I was set!
Hi, seem can’t do it. Ive done all the changing the extention. and when i double click the song, it was obviously couldn’t find the file as the ext has been changed. so i relocated it and double clicked it as you said but still not appearing at the ringtone folder. any word of advise pls?? Thanx a whole bunch!
Email me if you could and have a spare time to waste. Thanks again. ^^
NEVERMIND ^^ problem solved! 🙂 just delete the file from itunes player but keep the file. Then go to the folder where the file is, open it with itunes and it’ll be in ringtone folder :)))))))
You’re WICKEDD!!!! 🙂
Hi, I have the same issue as Alan #33 above. I was able to change extension and get it to play in the ringtone folder. When i tried to sync, got an error with “file not found”. Any advice pls?
thanks buddy
its working
i dont have the Apperance and themes in my control panel… O_O
I renamed 50 ringtones exyension with m4r.
iTunes dispalys 50 ringtones but only 2 appears in my iPhone after syn, pls help : beneyuen@yahoo.com
hey mate ,, was able to change the file to mr4 but they didnt move to the ringtone section in i-tunes , even tried rebooting computer no help ,, i do have th new 3GS i-phone any suggestions !!?? thanks for your help so far ,,
bobby
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! woooooo!!!!
I also use a a 3GS, ive changed the file name to m4r and it appears on my ringtones through itunes but when i put it onto my iphone it doesnt appear on the list of custom tones alongside the other preloaded tones..
Any ideas how i can fix this??
This was the most helpful page on making a ringtone from iTunes for the iPhone…no other webpage mentioned the fact that you may have to go to the Control Panel to uncheck hide file extensions because without doing that, I was unable to convert from .mp4 to .m4r, which was the crucial step.
Thank you so much!
YOU…. ARE… AMAZING!!! Thank you soooo much!!! It’s so easy!!!
I have the new 3GS and did not have a problem whatsoever… I did however, use an MP3 splitter that I had purchased previously to select the part of the track that I wanted. Then I converted to ACC, changed the extention, and played the song in iTunes (it automatically played from the ringtones section). When I synced, it was on my phone…
I couldn’t figure out how to do this because I really wanted ringtones for my iPhone so thank you!
Thank you so much !
I want to thank you. However, like a few others I have been able to create the ringtone and it shows up in ITunes under ringtones, yet when I sync it to my phone it goes to my music instead of appearing as a ring tone with the other preloaded ringtones. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks
Ok nevermind! I got it!! And for anyone else having this same problem the FIX IS SIMPLE!!! YOUR RINGTONE IS MORE THAN 40 SECONDS, AND IT CAN ONLY BE A MAX OF 40 SECONDS. After fixing the ringtone will go directly to your ringtones on your IPhone instead of to your music.
And Thanks again for this info!!! You have made me an even happier IPhone owner!!!!
🙂
Brilliant!
Brilliant!!!!! thank you
Thank you sooooooo much!!!! It actually worked – I have been to countless sites and no one had offered that extra bit of info. Worked perfectly!
mann omg your are legend
!!~!~!~!~!!
you deserve an award i needed the part with ctr panel to show the extension
i just thought my com was shit
thankyouu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOREVER GRATEFULLLLL
PEZ
Wicked…. this was doing my head in as I knew it should’ve worked. Cheers mate. Pity Apple ship iTunes to the world and then half the features don’t work outside the USA
Thank you thank you!! I had the same problem as many users of not being able to sync even after converting to m4r and it just sits in my ringtone itunes folder BUT not showing up on my custom ringtone file in the phone!
HUGE thanks to Imelee too for suggesting that we delete the file from itunes and then double clicking on the ringtone file in your windows explorer folder. Make sure you play it with itunes and it WILL appear as a ringtone after you sync your phone again! THANKS soooo much!!
For Windows VISTA users…u can have open any folder, eg. my documents, then go to Organise (beside View on the top left hand corner). Click on Organise -> Folder and Search Options -> View.
Under the View tab, look for files and folder -> UNCHECK ‘Hide extensions for known file types’.
You will then be able to convert m4a to m4r!! Good luck!!
oka i changed the file to m4r but when i double click it to go to itunes it appears in my library but not my ringontes? please help!
Fantastic advise thank u so much!!!!
Thanks a mill, you totally rock!
thanks so much dude, iv been ripping my hair out!! 🙂

thanks so much, it saved a lot:D
worked, thanks ^^
i totally agree with comment number 9…. the one that was posted like over a year ago.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I HAVE SPENT SOOO MANY UNSUCCESSFUL HRS TRYING TO PUT RINGTONES ON MY IPHONE. THE STEP THAT WASNT WORKING FOR ME WAS THE CHANGING OF THE FILE FROM M4A TO M4R. YOUR WEBSITE WAS THE 1ST ONE TO SHOW ME THE WHOLE ‘CONTROL PANEL’ STEP! SORRY FOR THE CAPS. IM SO EXCITED. FINALLY MY OWN PERSONALISED RINGTONES ON MY IPHONE! YAY!!!
my dad got pissed when i was changing the settings :p but thanks man you really helped me out
Thank you thank you thank you! (: This helped me so much!
Its so simple. Awesome! Thanks so much!
This is so helpful. Thank you.
You are the best!! Your instructions were easy to follow and it worked perfectly.
Thank you so much for posting this, i had been looking for ages fir a step by step guide.
Followed everything to the letter and now have the ringtone I wanted.
everything seems to be done correctly. however, during sync, i get a message stating that the filename could not be found. the file shows up in my ringtones folder and the song is checked off for sync, but not found. when i changed the file extention to .m4r, a box popped up saying, “if you change a filename extension, it may become unusable. are you sure you want to change it? Yes No”. I clicked yes. What am i doing wrong?
ok, i finally got it to work using a different song. idk why it wouldn’t work for the song i wanted to use, but i did the same exact thing with a differen’t song and everything’s fine. Thanks a lot for your help! i’ve been having an iphone for over a year and never got a cool ringtone because i didn’t want to pay for it.
Hey David,
I have the same problem as you…I did the whole conversion process correctly, double clicked the AAC version, it opened up in iTunes, i can see it checked off in the ringtones tab but then when i click on Sync i keep getting an error msg saying “file not found”
Do you or anyone here know why this may be happening? The compressed m4r file is only 30 seconds long. Ill try doing it for different song files but i dont see why or how this problem wont persist
I always was able to see the .m4a but i can’t change it to .m4r it will let me click on it but not make any changes to it
Excellent simple and easy thanks
the the only person on the Internet that could actually help!!
thanks
Works. If you have vista- you need to go into control panel and need to view it in “control panel home” and then it’s obvious // follow the directions =]
Hay everyone, I have got the ringtones on my iPhone:-) One Q; I am only able to get the first 30secs of a track as a ringtone. Is there a secret to starting the ringtone halfway through a track and playing for 30secs? When i do this the finish time becomes the total time in the m4r file:-( PLEASE BE A TECH OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP!!!
Hi,
You should be able to make a ringtone from any point in the song. Maybe try another song?
Neyugn
Thanks so much! Your the man!!
thnx, it worked!! omg, thanks again! xD
how do you locate the file to change it to mer?
m4r
Great work! Thank you!!
Hey, thanks so much for this. It worked fine on my pc but I can’t see the ringtone on my iphone. any ideas would be very welcomed and appreciated
IVE FOUND HOW TO GET IT TO WORK!! The title of the ringtone in iTunes MUST NOT have any special characters in or spaces in… delete all the space/s in the title and sync again….. and its there….
you are the best I was having the same problem and after I took all the spaces out of it IT WORKED!!! THANKS! 🙂
Been trying to sort it for hours. THANKS that worked a treat
Nice one Amit! 🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH! it worked!!!!!
The ringtone appeared in my ringtones section in itunes after the conversion but when I synced my iphone the ringtone wasn’t there!!!!!
plz tell me if u fixed it or if it worked with u cause i have the same problem..
Ive got the exact same problem as Lisa and many others…. my tone is only 0:29 seconds long so its well within the 40 second limit. i have the rington under ringtones on iTunes and it also appears on the ringtones tab when i sync my iPhone but i can never get it to sync to the iPhone… HELLPP!

Umm i can’t find appearances and themes on my computer?
Awesome, worked perfectly.
thx amillion box
Ah, thank you so much, you are a Goddess!
About time someone posted a tutorial that works perfectly and is easy to do. Excellent work !!!!!!!!!!
Hi, I had problems synching the ringtones into my iphone initially even after I followed all the instructions. Then what I noticed was, the song/ringtone must not be more than 40 secs. It would not appear in your ringtone if it’s more than 40 secs. Hope that helps. So choose the best 40 secs part of the song… =)
Great stuff. Cheers
Damn, this was easy. You don’t know how many places I looked that were cumbersome. You need to be teaching somewhere; clear and concise!
…If you’re ever in Boston I’ll buy you a drink…!
U are amazing!1
I followed all the steps, got it converted to .m4r and everything. But I cant get it into the ringtones library. Any help?? pleasse??
SAFFFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS WAS
PI%S?@ ME OFF ALL NIGHT
Hi,
I have the same problem of the ring tone not showing up inside my iphone even after sync. I am using iTunes 9 and Win7.
I found that initially my iTune9 do not have the Ringtones Tab under the Library, at the top left of the iTunes interface.
But After closing and re-opening iTunes the Ringtones tab was added. What I did was to delete away what ever ringtones inside the Ringtones, then add the ringtones in again.
Click on iPhone under DEVICES, choose ringtones tab, then Click Apply (or Sync)
This time round the ringtone was there.
Hope it helps. Pardon my English ..
Thank You So Much!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ty A lot Man!! OK GUYS THIS REALLY WORKING!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!

i have changed file extention and and unchecked hidden info, the song shows up in the folder. it does not show up in ringtones and i have double clicked i also dragged to desktop and that did not work either. please help i was able to before i got windows 7 and since then the app has to be purchased i purchased and still cant get ringtones to work again.
If the ringtone is more than 30 seconds then it you won’t be able to put it in your Ringtones library.
Otherwise, I’m not sure how to help, sorry.

thank you sooooooooooooooooo much… gr8….
Thanks so much!!!
I’ll leave the cup of coffee for another oportunity
Help Help please I am going round in circles. I have followed your wonderful instructions however my ringtones are not moving to the ringtone folder when I sync my iphone. All file extensions have been renamed m4r. The converted ringtones are in both my iTunes Music folder on my windows PC and iPhone but not in my Ringtone folder. When I synced up I made sure I ticked All Ringtones. Still nothing. I realise these sorts of things are down to the user. What haven’t I done correctly?
TNXXXXXX
Hello Nahi – Thank you for replying to my cry for help, however I have followed the instructions to the letter from August 2008 as suggested and when I go into my iTones folder on my PC and double click as suggested it plays but DOES NOT pop into my folder for ringtones on either the iTunes or iPhone. The file extension thingy was unticked in my control panel and when I right click on the music file info it has converted to m4r and does show that it is a ringtone. I am now sat here wearing a crash helmet to stop me from tearing my hair out!!! Is there any other suggestions you could advise me on PRETTY PLEASE?
YAY… i tried a few other sites but i couldnt find out how to convert from m4a to m4r… this was the only site that showed you how to go thru the control panel and uncheck hide extensions for known types…
now when work calls the IMPERIAL MARCH will surely spell doom!
True genius. Thanks so much. Yours was the only tutorial that explained the “uncheck hide extensions” step that kept tripping me up. Few issues syncing with iPhone but that’s a whole other problem. At least now I have the ringtone in the ringtones folder. Thanks again for saving my sanity :-).
like a few of you i was having trouble getting the converted .m4r file back into my library. I finally gave up on the double clicking method, went into itunes itself and clicked file, add file to library and selected the right file. I then found it in itunes. Sometimes it would come up with the ! button next to it when i tried to play it saying it couldnt locate the file so i clicked on the locate it button and searched for it manually again. I then synced my phone and it worked.
The other trouble i had was that it would come up under my device in the ringtone section but not in my actual phone. I solved this by downloading another version of the song without any special characters (another trick someone suggested) and it worked when i synced it again.
Hope this helps someone!
Claire, Thank you so much. that was the only problem i was having. you did help someone and we all know how happy we get when we try and try and then boom it works! so thanks!!!!!!!
RE ” went into itunes itself and clicked file, add file to library and selected the right file”
If you cant get your iPhone 4 to sync the ringtone
then just look – up how to sync ringtone iPhone 4-
or http://www.question-defence.com
worked for me
Thank you!! Worked just perfect!
omg your post helped so much, and was so much easier to understand than previous ones i had looked at, thanks! 🙂
thanks a alot ! worked perfectly 🙂
thanks bro!
thanks buddy it really worked trying since last 15 days ….
How do I change the extension from m4a to m4r ?? When i right click on the “30 second song in itunes and click show in Windows, the song dosent end with m4a to start with so even if I add (.m4r) it dosent change it to m4r , it still plays as a regular 30 second song. I dont know if I’m making any sense, but can someone help me please????
You have to go into your control panel to unhide the file extension, visible on all files *on your computer* – that’s where you change the name, like Mack says above. Certainly worked for me – Mack’s a genius, thank you! ❤
Great Job and Thank you! I was stuck on where to get the setting to be able to change the file extension, and was getting frustrated!
Now everything goes fine and set.
tnx for ur help but i dont know hot to sync that ringtone into ny iphone 🙂 . but got that ringtone in my itunes ringtone
I had that problem also…the ringtone is is your iTunes Library you have to drag and drop it into your ringtones under your iPhone catagory (mid page–under your iTunes libray) as soon as I did that it synced no problem!
This is so much easier on Android phones. No length requirement or crazy m4a/r crap.MP3 and wav work just fine
Seriously, thank you. I have been struggling to change the file names for a while, and no one has posted any worthwhile tutes. This was so simple. Good job.
Perfect cheers dude
It worked till the point where I see it popping open in the Ringtone list on iTunes in my laptop. I am syncing it but I dont see it appearing in the Standard (only category I can see in the ringtone )list while I access the Ringtones in Settings on my Iphone.
AWESOME!!! I was struggling here!!! Thanks so much for showing how to change the file name!!!
Thank you!…. It’s working!…..
Thanks!
FYI, I was also having trouble getting it into my device ringtones. It worked after I took out all spaces from the file name of the song.
hi ive used this method a hundred times and its worked fine but now i have a new dell laptop with windows 7 and it will not convert the file to m4r i do what ive always done type m4r at the end of the name but this tyme the warning dosent pop up and when you go to properties it says songname .m4r.m4a why is it doing this cause it then doesnot show up in ringtones section
thank u soooooooo muj
🙂
Hi thanks to your advice I have now ringtone on iTunes ringtones library, but cant get that ringtone to device ringtones library..

Yea me too
This has been one of the most useful help posts ever! thank you so much.
Thanks so much it worked perfectly.
Thank you, it works well 🙂
Thank you Very, very much, it worked GREAT!!!!!!!!! It was simple to understand, some other post were so convoluted I couldn’t understand what they were saying, but this one, all I can say is good job.
Wonderful! thanks a ton!
Thank you very much for your great explanation on how to change m4a to m4r through the control panel. You saved me a lot of grief trying to solve this ringtone situation! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Yes! Thank you. Appreciate the help. Now it’s just a simple task.
Ive got the file converted (pretty sure at least.. in my window’s explorer it says it’s an m4r file) but when i double-clicked on the file, it opened up in iTunes in the main music folder.. and it won’t let me drag the file into Ringtones…is it because my iPhone is plugged into the computer while I’m doing it? OR is that irrelevant?
There’s nothing in my iTunes Ringtones Folder.
how can I fix this!?
THANK YOU
been wantin to do this forever
dude its simply superb
THANKYOU!!!
None of this is working for me.
i change the times and it just automatically changes it to another time (3 seconds long) every time.

thank you so so much!!
I’ve followed all the steps except when I try to rename the file, the m4a doesn’t appear so I don’t have the option to “m4r” it.. What is to be done
I have the same problem as this person. I cannot change it from M4A to M4R. Please help. Thanks.
It doesn’t work any longer :o( the option to change / save to AAC no longer appears in my Itunes. Damn it.
Hello! I tried this and I am almost there. I am just having a problem when i sync it to my iphone, it does not appear on ringtones 😦 Can somebody please help? Thanks so much.
Once you have the .m4r file and its not showing under tones. This means you have not enabled sync for tones.
Click on your iphone under Devices >> Tones >> Check “Sync Tones”
iOS5.1 has disabled manual syncing of tones etc. All this is rumors. All it needs little time and research.
In iTunes under library it doesn’t say ringtones. Only music movies tv n apps… How do I get a ringtone file???

When traveling, older persons are at biggest risk of getting a health-related emergency. Obtaining right insurance policies package in your age group can safeguard your health and provide peace of mind.
Any one wants details, let me know, i have made a word documents with details on how to do it.
Just can’t see the m4a when I click rename
How can I change m4a to m4r
This is amazing! Thank you.
I have no clue, I can see how to rename the file, but I am using windows 8 and it doesn’t even show the m4a just says the title of the song!..help!..
Mine also did. What you have to do is go into windows control panel. My biggest confusion was that my control panel seems to have its contents named and set out differently, in the following ways: when i clicked on control panel, it does not say ‘appearance and themes,’ it says ‘Appearance and personalisation.’ If I click on that, there is no ‘folder options’…instead it is named ‘file explorer options.’ Luckily it did have an tab labelled ‘View! ‘ I clicked on ‘view,’ then scrolled down a bit and unchecked the box that says ‘Hide extensions for known file types.’ Went back to the file on the desktop. ringtone should now have the file extension (m4a ) listed in the title. It didn’t before and I only saw what the file extension was if I right-clicked and selected ‘properties.’ So, now select your ringtones title by clicking it once, change it to ‘m4r. You may get a pop-up, warning you that changing a file extension can cause it to become unstable… I did it, anyway! Finally, I brought up the iTunes window and went to the ‘tones’ file (mine is not as simple as my friend’s, I think because I just recently updated.) It was hidden and I found it by clicking on the icon with the three dots, next to the icons for music, movies, television programs etc. The resulting drop-down menu listed various things and I clicked on ‘Tones.’ The ‘tones’ folder will now open. Go to the top-most, left corner icon on iTunes window and click and holding to select ‘Add file to library.’ In the window that pops up, find your desktop file (mine automatically came to my download file, first. Not sure why that is, so you may need to look around to find your ‘desktop’ folder.) Find your ringtone file, then click on it! My new ringtone automatically came up in my iTunes ‘Tone’ folder. After this, I synched my phone with my computer, and was, AT LAST, able to find and set my ringtone to certain people in my contacts list! I know this may seem very detailed and simple, but if you are like me and absolutely useless on a computer, I have made it as detailed as possible. Also, because I am useless with all things tech, I found it very confusing that some things were labelled differently, such as ‘appearance and personalisation, instead of ‘appearance and themes’ in the ‘control panel.’ Best of luck
Thank you so much been searching the web for about an hour trying to find a solution to changing the extension. Thanks again
THANK YOU!! You are a genius!!
Thanks so much, this was extremely helpful!
got the file i want converted to acc, duration down to 20 secs, and it’s showing up in my itunes on my pc under ringtones, however its not appearing on my phone at all, just the same stock ringtones. any help?
PERFECT
Ok, so I know you made the post like 5 years ago, but THANKYOU soooo much for telling the part about going into Control Panel to uncheck “hide known extensions”. That was just what I needed! I’m Windows 7 Home Premium and I couldn’t figure out how to change the extension like the other people’s instructions for making an itunes ringtone were telling me to do. Thanks again. p.s. I bought you a cup of coffee!
Inspiring quest there. What happened after?
Good luck!

I’ve managed to follow all the instructions for converting my ringtone from m4a to m4r, but i’m unable to move the ringtone to the “TONES” section on the iPhone. It’s instead in the music section of the iPhone. I’m unable to drag & drop from the music section to the “tones” section……………I’m sure it would work if I could just get it moved to the proper area………….any suggestions?
Mine wouldn’t either. I had to go back into my iTunes window. Find the icon in the top-most, left corner, click-hold and click on the option ‘add files to library.’ It finally popped up in ‘tones’ after that. Finally, I synched and restarted my phone, then was able to set the ringtone for selected individuals in my contacts list.
Thank you so much for your help!!! It works well…
i use iphone 5 to do it but i doesnt seem working

Please how do I change from m4a to m4r. I can get the conversion
I had been trying for a while to do this without any success, following numerous peoples variations on instructions and tips…I got as far as ‘Open in Explorer,’ but it didn’t allow me to change the extension to ‘m4r.’ So for those who are also having problems, I will set out, step by step, what did in hopes that it may help somebody who is having the same issues.
