Are you sure you have your folder options set right? In your folder go to tools>folder options>view. In there are a bunch of boxes that can be checked or unchecked. UNCHECK the box that says something about hiding extensions for known file types. Then apply & when you try to rename a file it will have the m4a at the end instead of just a name. Make sure you’re using a duplicate file or you will mess up the original!
in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen good luck!!!
ive followed everything you have said and created a ringtone and copied it onto my phone but i cant find it in the sounds section to select it as my ringtone… any help here?
ive got itunes 8.1.1.10 which is the latest update you can get i think and it still works.
my problem was the ring tones i was creating were longer than 30 seconds. as soon as i made ones less than 30 seconds they started showing up on my phone straight away.

just use iringer if this is too complicated for you
you’ll either have to just add ‘.m4r’ onto the end or you’ll have to change the folder settings in vista so that file extenstions appear and you can change it from m4a to m4r.
Found it.
Cheers

Thank you for your response! You were very helpful.
Worked like a charm in iTunes 8 – after I created the .m4r is went automatically to Ringtones under Library.
I have:
OS V10.5.6
iTunes 8
.wav files
Is there a solution to add them as ringtones?
This was so helpful and it actually worked. Thanks a lot
works perfectly =) cheers 4 the tip
Argh. I can’t find the “Import Using” file in my “Advanced” settings on my PC. Anyone know how to make sure it’s set to “import using AAC Encoder”???
how do you change the file to m4r format on vista?
use garage band, drag the mp3 file into garage band then export to itunes as ringtone under the share tab. alot easier if you have garage band
How do u make take out the 21 seconds of the part of the song u want as a ringtone?

I think it’s not possible to do it anymore because mines is doing the same thing. It doesn’t show up at all in itunes. Curse you Steve Jobs!

“on windows you can just do it.”
ok HOW do you do it.?! GOD DAMN
it works u just have to delete the original file you copied
Just download iRinger. It’s free and does the work for you. It even adds the ringtone to itunes.
I cant get my m4r file to import or drag and drop into my ringtones section on my iphone on itunes… how can i make sure im doing it right?
How do you chop up a song and make it under 30 secs?
It’s mac!
