Add New Alarm Sounds...?

Hi all,
How can we go about adding new Alarm Sounds in the iPhone 4? I have been checking some tutorials to do it with iTunes, followed the instructions (like, puting a "Start" and "End" time to a song, creating an AAC file out of it, copying the song in a folder, changing it's extension to M4R for Ringtones, deleting the AAC song from the iTunes and finally adding the M4R file back in iTunes...and it appears in a newly created folder called Ringtones, and it plays...)
So then, I synch the iPhone and, correct me if I'm wrong here, I go in the Clock, Alarm, choose a sound, then I can see of course those Bell Tower, Boing, Bark etc...but not the "new ringtone"...is there anything else I'm missing in this process?
I have also read that the ringtones cannot be more than 30 secs...mine is 29 secs...
Thanx in advance!

All custom ringtones transferred to your iPhone will be available at a custom ringtone to select for phone calls, and for an alarm sound.
I have a few ringtones that I purchased from the iTunes store to test using the iTunes ringtone creator for a song purchased from the iTunes store that has also been licensed to be sold and used as a ringtone, and I've created a few custom ringtones myself with music or sound files that do not have DRM protection.
When I select Sound to pick a sound for an alarm, I have the following options:
A Purchased category at the top for all ringtones purchased from the iTunes store, a Custom category for all ringtones that I created with songs or music files that do not include DRM protection, and the Standard sounds, which is the same that I have available when selecting a default ringtone for all calls, and when selecting a ringtone for a particular contact.

HOW do you add a new alarm sound in your iCal?

I was able to do this in the old iCal but now having lepard and the new 3.0.3 iCal I can't figure out how to add a new sound in the alarms... I'm so over the basso and purr.. I need something else that I've created to add into this mix. HELP!!

I believe you just need to put your sound files in ~/Library/Sounds/, and they will appear automagically in iCal. Note that not all file formats might be supported.

How to add new alert sounds to Sound Effects in Sys. Prefs

I'd like to add a sound (it's in MP3) to the Sound Effects in System Preferences. How do I do this?

Hi Craig, if it isn't playing in the actual folder then something went wrong in your conversion. Exactly how did you do the conversion? And how did you get it out of iTunes (if that is what you used for the conversion) to use it as a sound effect?
I have a one second piano chord in mp3 stashed away in a sound collection folder. I double click it and it opens in iTunes. I then go to iTunes Preferences, click on Advanced, then click the Importing tab, and change "Import Using" to "AIFF Encoder" (my default is MP3 Encoder) and click the OK button. Go back to the regular iTunes window and select your mp3 file, then go up to the Advanced menu and select "Convert Selection to AIFF"--it should convert it very quickly. Grab the new aif file and drag out of iTunes window onto the Desktop. Do GetInfo on it and change the extension to .aiff (iTunes exports it plain name.aif). While you are in GetInfo verify that it plays in the Preview section. Now add it to the /System/Library/Sounds folder. Oh, and remove the one that doesn't work. You'll have to authenticate to do that too.

How can I add new sounds to the alarm choices?

Is there no way to add new alarm sounds?

I think the issue is: how do you add custom ringtones to a touch? It isn't covered in the manual.
I can find references to doing so for an iPhone, but not a touch.
For example: How to create custom ringtones in GarageBand 4.1.1 at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1358

i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating. Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

How delete Songs in Clock Add Alarm Sound?

In ios 7 under Clock<Add Alarm<Sound, there's a section at the top named 'Songs,' which I don't recall seeing before. There are 3 songs there from my iTunes, and I don't recall ever adding them there. How do I delete them? There's no Edit button there, and the songs are not listed under General Settings<Sound<Ringtones.
Thank you,
William

I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
Thank you very much!
Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
-Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

How to remove an Alarm Song from Alarm Sound list?

When using the standard Clock app, how do I remove an alarm song from the Alarm sound list under Edit Alarm? I can add new songs, but cannot find a way to remove unwanted ones.

The two most played songs are added by default, & there is a limit of 5 songs that can be added. The only way to remove a song is to keep adding a new song until the one you want removed is removed.
Tell Apple you want better control of this here:

Alarm 'Sound' Corrupted?

Hello.
I own an iPod Touch 5th Gen, and the Alarm clock 'Sound', does not work properly.
When I try to add new songs to the Alarm 'Sound', and then going back, it always defaults back to the two most played songs on my library. Pushing the 5 newest songs that I have added upwards.
Is there a way to fix this? This has never happened, before. I am currently running the newest iOS update, iOS 8.3.
Thanks for the assistance.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

When I sync my ipod to add new material, sometimes itunes will automatically rearrange the song order of my pre-existing albums by number of plays. Why does it do this? And is there a way to stop it?

When I add an album to itunes and subsequently to my ipod, everything is arranged by track number of the album. Sometimes when I sync in order to add new material to my ipod, itunes for some reason automatically rearranges some of my pre-existing material by songs with the greatest number of plays to least (though sometimes it seems to be completely random). When I check itunes on my computer, everything still appears to be in order but the way it appears on the device often is in the previously mentioned disorder. Why does it do this? Is there any setting that I can adjust to make it stop because the only way I've found so far is to delete the rearranged material and re-import the cd and then re-sync. It might sound picky, but I prefer that my music be in order by track number as the artists themselves intended for various reasons the foremost being that I often listen to whole albums from start to finish and this glitch makes such problematic. I have found some settings in preferences that focus on how material is arranged but this seemed to be focused on the actual folders where the music is located on my hard drive and not the way it appears on the ipod. If anyone knows the reason it does this or has suggestions on fixing it, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

How do you get rid of unwanted alarm sound songs?

Hey guys. I'm stumped. I have an iphone 5 that I recently set back to factory settings so it's cleared out of music. And I don't sync my phone with my itunes library on my macbook as I don't want music on my phone.
BUT I noticed there's 246 songs on my alarm sounds area, where you can pick what alarm sound you want. And they all have the icloud with arrow symbol to the right of them? I don't use icloud for music. I only use icloud for contacts and find my iphone.
How do I delete these 246 alarm songs from my phone?!? I accidentally touched the icloud with arrow symbol on one of the songs and it housed it permanently in my phone's songs app. Help!!!

Not sure how iCloud music with an iCloud icon meaning it has not been downloaded can appear with Show All Music off.
When you restored the iPhone with iTunes, did you restore from the iPhone's backup or as a new iPhone or not from the backup?
