How do I create custom ringtones from mp3 files in itunes 11?

I've upgraded to the iPhone 5 from Blackberry, and I have several custom mp3 ringtones I would like to assign... and can't.  How do I do this in iTunes 11?

You would have sorted it out by now.
Anyway,
1. Go to EDIT =>REFFERENCE
2. Under General, tick TONES, then you will be able to see TONES folder...
To create ring tone from mp3.
1. Make sure your mp3 file playback duration is about 30 sec or less.
2. Add it to your library as you do with music.
3. Under MUSIC folder, select SONGS
4. Find the mp3 file you want for ringtone, right click it and find CREATE AAC VERSION
5. OPEN window explorer, browse to MY DOCUMENTS/MY MUSICS (XP) or Library/my music (Win 7), there should be iTunes folder in there, find the mp3 file... and change the file extension from [.m4a] into [.m4r]
6. Back to iTunes, add [filename.m4r]
Now you should have rinetone under TONES folder in  your iTunes.

    You need to set the default encoder for iTunes to AAC to get that option.

  • Why can't I create a ringtone from my music on iTunes?

    I have just been looking at the instructions for making a 30 second ring tone from my music collection. The option doesn't seem available to me and the advice states
    'Ringtones are only available for purchase from the U.S. iTunes Store.'
    So if I'm based in the Uk how can I do this?
    Thanks

    Creating a ringtone is very easy using iTunes 8.x.
    It has to be a non-drm song though.
    1) In iTunes click the song you want to make a ring tone from.
    2) Then in iTunes, go to File -->Get Info.
    3) In that now open screen go to Options. In that window, define the Start Time and the End Time by entering both in the boxes (that should automatically check the check box as well). Click OK.
    4) Go to Advanced -->Create AAC Version. That will then create a duplicate version of the song, but it will only be of the length you set in Step 3.
    5) Highlight that song title, then drag it do your desktop.
    6) Edit the song title file extension to change the last letter to "r". You'll be prompted for the "Are you sure...." check, select OK.
    7) IMPORTANT -- now with the duplicated song highlighted in your iTunes, go to Edit -->Delete to remove that short version. You MUST do this or iTunes will not let you add the ring tone you placed on your desktop to your library.
    8) Drag from the desktop your ringtone to iTunes Library (left hand in frame menu). That will add it to your Ring Tones library (and/or create a Ring Tones tab if for some reason you didn't already have one).
    9) Sync your iPhone as usual, ensuring in your synch preferences you have authorized the synching of ring tones.
    10) IMPORTANT -- now go back to the original song track, go back to File -->Get Info and ensure that you deselect the two boxes checked in Step 3 (else you'll limit your next play of this track to 15 or 30 or whatever seconds!).
    That's all there is to it! It is very easy to do and once you've done it a couple of times you'll be creating a ring tone in about 30 seconds.

  • How do I reverse sync ringtones from iPhone 6 to iTunes

    I have an iPhone 6 plus with custom ringtones and they work fine. However I need them to show up in the iTunes tone library when I connect my phone. I want to use one of the tones for a movie clip in iMovie. How do I get those tones from my iPhone 6 to iTunes?

    Actually, ringtones, unlike other content purchased from iTunes,  can only be downloaded once.

  • Create an audiobook from MP3 files?

    Hi all,
    I've just bought a couple of Audiobooks from Buzzymedia. These come on a CD as multiple MP3 files.
    Is there any way to turn these into one or two audiobooks rather than loads of mp3 files that I have to sync and make sure are played in the right order ?

    Thanks, but that's not going to solve this for me I'm afraid.
    The CD's I've got just contain MP3s, so there's no way to rip them afresh. As for just joining the tracks, the appendix only deals with doing this with WAV files, and the only software it mentions is for Windows, which I don't have access to

  • How to create custom Ringtones (m4r files) from Songs in iTunes

    Jakarta, 14 June 2013
    On Mac OS : 10.7.5 (Lion)
    On iTunes : 11.0.4
    Difficulty : intermediate - hard
    Assuming you know basic Ctrl+Click and Option+Drag...
    Full correct steps should be like this :
    1) Select a favourite song in iTunes program to be made into Ringtone...
    2) "Get Info" on that song name and make any 0:30 seconds portion of that song....
    (specify "Start" & "Stop" time - under "Options" – to any 30-seconds duration and click OK)
    3) Right-click or Ctrl-Click again on same song name and select "Create AAC Version" to create an .m4a file...
    (when done iTunes will create a Chime)
    4) to locate the created .m4a file easily, Ctrl-Click again on same song name and select "Show in Finder" from the pop-up list...
    (iTunes will automatically point the folder location of the original .mp3 & the newly created .m4a files... keep this window open for later...)
    5) change the .m4a file to .m4r as suggested...
    (rename to whatever you like but you must change the extension to .m4r)
    6) At this point, the m4r(original) file isn't a "Ringtone" file yet... which we'll need to change now...)
    (check under "Get Info" > "Kind" :  it's still "Apple MPEG-4 Audio")
    ...1st by dragging that newly changed .m4r(ori) file to somewhere out of that same default folder it was created by iTunes...
    { this is where most confusions occur, take note here, it gets rather complicated }
    7) Once it's outside of that folder, Double Click the m4r(ori) file and iTunes will play...
    (u can stop it immediately...) this is just to let iTunes automatically convert that m4r(ori) file into a new duplicate & places it inside the initial default folder where the original .mp3 file is kept... we kept the window open previously, remember?
    8) Locate that duplicate .m4r(new & true) file, in that same .mp3 folder and now DUPLICATE-Drag (press Option while dragging to get the "+" sign) it to the "TONES" folder in your default apple folder structure. (check under "Get Info", this .m4r(new) File's "Kind" should be "Ringtone")
    //to get to that "TONES" Folder : First Locate your iTunes default Music Folder in your Mac --> usually it's in your Default "MUSIC" folder --> Navigate to "iTunes Media"  --> Navigate to "Tones". !! Keep this window open to make the transfer manually !!
    9) Once your duplicate is placed inside the "Tones" folder, double-click on that duplicate .m4r(true) file and let iTunes play, it should automatically place that ringtone file into the "Ringtone" sidebar List in the iTunes program... (check program to see)
    Somehow u needed both duplicates : 1 – inside the default initial .mp3 folder & 1 – inside the Tones Folder which we Duplicate+Drag into... and both must be "Ringtone" – Kind... for this to work.
    10) There you go. Now you can Sync / Delete / Add the whole Ringtone contents to your iPhone as you wish.
    //Don't forget to set SYNC ON under the iphone  "Tones" tab in your iTunes - iPhone screen... and click big SYNC button at the bottom of iTunes program & wait for the magic.
    ( Finally you can check inside your iPhone "Sounds" settings and hopefully if all steps done correctly, the bloodycomplicatedringtone selection will be there. Enjoy!

    Hi --
    I'm using iTunes 11.0.4 on OSX 10.8.4 and am having a hard time following your instructions to create a ringtone from a snippet of a .mp3 file using iTunes:
    1) Select a favourite song in iTunes program to be made into Ringtone... CHECK!
    2) "Get Info" on that song name and make any 0:30 seconds portion of that song.... CHECK !
    3) Right-click or Ctrl-Click again on same song name and select "Create AAC Version" to create an .m4a file... PROBLEM!
    It's when I hit Step 3 that I have a problem -- my "right click menu" at that point looks like this:
    There's no option to "create AAC version." Nor does this option appear anywhere in iTunes that I can find.
    It really shouldn't be this confusing to create a freaking ringtone. HELP PLEASE!

I followed the instructions, and the created ringtone is showing up in iTunes in the Ringtone section. When I connect my iPhone to my Mac, & it appears as a device in iTunes, my ringtone appears there... it just doesn't appear under the ringtone options on the iPhone itself... what am I doing wrong here? Am I looking for it in the wrong place?
    Make sure to sync your ring tones.
