how do i set a song in my Music folder on my iPhone 5s as a ring tone?

You need to create a ringtone from your song using itunes (see Create free ringtones with iTunes 10), then select it on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync it to your phone.  Once synced to your phone you will find it in Settings>Sounds>Ringtone at the top of the list.  (If you're using iTunes 11 you may need to go to View>Show Sidebar to follow the process shown in the linked video.)

  • How do I set a song from my music folder as a ringtone?

    I have downloaded a song onto my phone from iTunes but I cannot find a way to set it as my ringtone. It was not downloaded as a ringtone, just as a song. Is this something that can be done?

    The procedure is the following:-
    *right click the song on itunes and click get info.
    *under the option, check in the start time and end time- This is the exactly which part of the song you want to make your ringtone.
    *Click Ok.
    * Again right click in the same song and click the CREATE AAC VERSION
    * Now you can see the same two song. if you have made the short length in step 2, lenght will be different.and this will be in (.m4a) format. and if you dont see on itunes you can search the name on finder. you will find both files.
    * Now you try to change the format (.m4a)  to (.m4r), you just delete a and add r and press enter bottom. and conform it.
    *Now you add this files to the ringtone/tones on itunes which is located on the left side bar of itunes.
    *make sure under the preference of your itunes under the general the tones section is checked in.
    *go to your device on itunes. Under the tones check in sync tones. You can Sync all tones or the particular tones which you want.
    *Now this tone is on your iphone. You can change your ringtone through setting>sound>ringtone and choose the particular one.

    You can't because it is not a phone. You can use it in your iPhone though.

  • How do I set the songs on my iphone 4s as ringtones? I shouldn't have to buy new ringtones when I already have a whole music library to choose from!

    How do I set the songs from itunes on my iphone 4s as ringtones? I shouldn't have to purchase ringtones when I have a whole music library on my iphone to choose from and songs that I have already purchased! I should not have to rebuy music!!
    If anyone can help me on this that would be great!  Thank you!

    My comment is the same as Dyson2003.
    I am very disappointed, as I thought by purchasing a ringtone the set up would be easy - this I find to be extremely misleading. Before iPhone allows you to purchase a ringtone, they should make it very clear that to download a ringtone you will need the GarageBand programme in order to enable the ringtone to work.
    I sent an email to the support team, in the hope that they would be able to advise me. I was basically referred to a telephone number for the country that I live in. In writing this email, when finished I think I am going to ask back for a refund.
    In reading the above comments, I am even more annoyed because I've googled GarageBand only to see that theirs a cost of £2.99. I am so not impressed!

  • How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?

    How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?i dont want a custom one with my voice i want the pre-recorded where a lady says my number . how do i get that?

    Voicemail is a cell phone carrier function.  Contact your carrier to see if they have this option.  If not, i'm sure you can download a sound file from the internet with a greeting and add your name.  Then play it back on you PC while holding your iPhone near the speaker when recording the greeting to voicemail.

  • How do i use a song in my music as a ring tone on my iphone 5?

  • How do I set up a hotmail e-mail account on my iphone?

    How do I set up a hotmail e-mail account on my iphone?

    Microsoft just changed this POP mail item this month - they now allow this with a HOTMAIL PLUS account -
    I was finally able to set up my iphone to support my Hotmail Plus email account. I did make a mistake initially which caused it to fail at first so I delete the new account and tried again - here are my steps:
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Go to Mail
    3. Go to Add a new Account
    4. Click Other
    5. Click the POP button - do not leave it on the default IMAP button (this is where I mady my mistake.
    Then fill in these values as the prior poster noted:
    NAME: Enter your name here, or some other value.
    ADDRESS: Enter your full hotmail email address
    DESCRIPTION: Create a description such as "hotmail account"
    INCOMING MAIL SERVER
    Host name: pop3.live.com
    User name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
    Password: (enter your password for this account)
    OUTGOING MAIL SERVER
    Host Name: smtp.live.com
    User Name: (enter your full hotmail email address)
    Password: (enter the password for this account)
    Under the ADVANCED SETTINGS
    Make sure incoming and outgoing SSL is 'ON' - Authentication is set to Password
    Pleaes note also that my hotmail account has a couple thousand emails in it going back several years so my iphone started inporting the first 200 - then it stopped, so I had to delete many of them, check for mail again and it imported some more, then I deleted more, imported more, and on and on - and it seems to do it by date, so the oldest messages come in first - justs something to keep in mind.
    If you don't have a hotmail plus account - it might be worth the $20 a year to get this access if you use your hotmail alot. It beats forwarding messasges to another email to come into your phone or useing some third party like izy that than has your password info.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

  • I just downloaded the new iOS 5.0 and did all of the backup prompted steps beforehand, but I can't figure out how to get all of my apps and music back on my iPhone. Where did they go and how can I put them back on my iPhone?

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.
