- Step 2 – Open the song in iTunes, in iTunes, right click on the song and export to .aac format or iPod format.
- Step 3 – Open the .aac song and rename it, change the extension from .m4a to .m4r (iTunes’ ringtone format).

Just drag any movie or unprotected music file onto ‘PocketMac RingtoneStudio’ and it does all the rest. It is the simplest method I’ve come across, the easier!
- If the movie or song is less than 30 seconds in length, PocketMac RingtoneStudio converts it automatically into the proper ringtone format.
- If it’s longer than 30 seconds, PocketMac RingtoneStudio will open up a preview window so that you can select the exact 30 second clip you’d like.
- PocketMac RingtoneStudio will place your completed ringtones into iTunes’ “Ringtones” folder.
- The next time you connect your iPhone, your ringtones will be automatically synched.

I have spent 4 hrs with this stupid phone. Iphone 3g. I can make ringtones and even download them. When I try to drag them or sync them to my phone, I get the message that I can’t play them on my phone because the original file can’t be found.
Any help is appreciated.

IS IT ANYWAY TO SYNC RINTONES WITHOUT ERASING MUSIC FROM MY IPHONE????
Hello ppl, I just created a ringtone using itunes, (changed time to 30 sec, converted to acc, moved it into the desktop and renamed it, erased the file at itunes and added the new one from desktop back to itunes), however every time I check the “sync rigntones”box under the ringtones tag at itunes a message keep coming up saying that all of the music videos and tv shows will be erased…. Im not sure if I am missing a very obvious step but can somebody make this clear for me… is it any way to sync ringtones without erasing the music in my Iphone???? Thank you very much
I have the same problem! Cannot choose the sync ringtones option without Itunes wanting to delete all music and viideos etc. from the phone. Why on earth would this event even exist? What a stupid program… what am I doing wrong here… I clicked the sync ringtones thinking that the warning couldn’t mean what it said, and sure enough in a matter of seconds over 9 gig of music and videos were deleted off the phone
I know, same here. I had to reload everything again. Don’t know any way around it. Otherwise my ringtones were not loading.
