Iphone ringtone help! please?

still new to the whole iphone thing.. ive bought songs from itunes but i cant get them into ringtones and im fed up of the basic ringtones

Ring tones for many phones including the iPhone are M3R files which are not just MP3 files renamed, they are a SPECIAL format.

they are LOOPS rather than plain files and have extra encoding, simply renaming .mp3 to m3r does not work.

To get the iphone to sync ringtones, you need to tell it to sync apps, Music (or Movies etc) as by default most syncing is OFF other than Music which is ALL unless its too big for the ipod/iPhone when its none.

Plug ipod into itunes.
click on the ipods Icon its summary page appears.
click on the tab that says ringtones
click on ‘Sync All’ or ‘ Sync only selected’
click on APPPLY BOX
click on SYNC box.

voila it now will sync ringtones.

the ONLY option to convert existing mp3 to m3r is for mac users as it needs Garageband to do the work.

full details are given in the link below. including how to import them into itunes and sync to the phone.

Alternatively you can BUY them form the itunes store and sync them from your itunes.

No matter what you do you MUST use itunes (the program as opposed to itunes store the online music shop)
