How to sync/import m4r ringtone

I downloaded an m4r ringtone file from Neil Young's website. This file type (according to the website) is supposed to work with iPhones. It downloads fine but it never shows up when I drag it into itunes. It's not in my music folder or the ringtone list. I tried the mp3 version but it didn't work either. What do I have to do to get this ringtone on my iPhone?

You can use iTunes. Import the movies into iTunes then sync them onto your iPad
You can also use something like dropbox, upload them there from your mac then download them onto your iPad.
You may want to download and read the manual for more specific directions

  • How to sync/import photos/mp4 into iPad?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro running latest version of Yosemite. I also have an iPad running iOS 8.1.1. I have some old photos and mp4 video that I shot in my Macbook Pro. I can not figure out how to sync/import the photos and mp4 to my iPad so I can show to my guests in the coming holiday. I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks

  • How do I get m4r ringtone files to load on iPhone 5

    A note about me...  I don't watch movies, listen to music, play games, tweet, twitter, or any of that.  I use my phone as a phone, have a few basic apps that I find useful.  I use of the camera to capture the needed documentation every so often.  I want ring tones to separate out work from personal contacts and I have a few that I want to load on my phone.
    I've converted several sound effects/music snippets to .m4r as I believe are required for being used for ringtones on iPhone 5.  I am getting frustrated and dismayed at my inability to simply move them over to my iPhone.  My iPhone replaced a BlackBerry that never had any problems with importing, creating or playing almost any type of sound as a ring tome.  The iPhone is better than the BlackBerry, so why can't it do this simply...

    Can only be done if you have an IMAP or Exchange account. You create the folders on the server & they will then sync to all of your devices. Not possible with a POP account, & locally created folders(on your computer) cannot sync to any of your devices. Same with mail rules, they must be done at the server level.

  • Can't import .m4r ringtone made with Ringtonium to itunes.

    No matter what I try, nothing works. I read somewhere that I might need to first import it as a m4a then convert to m4r? This is insanity. Anyone have any suggestions as to what this is?

    Ok, so I should have stated it was a custom made ringtone with the recording option in Ringtonium. I just tested doing it with an MP3 source and it worked. Any ideas as to why my custom ringtone won't import? They're both m4r files.

  • How do I import a ringtone?

    Apple store no longer has ringtones, outside providers will not be accepted by Apple.

    Huh?
    Apple sells ringtones.  Turn on iphone.  Tap itunes.  Tap More. Tap tones
    Also, you can create a ringtone from most any song/sound file.
    Google will find several free ways to do this, including using ituens.

  • - i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back ?

    - i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back without having to sync my phone to the library where my ringtones are and possibly lose everything on my phone ?

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) I made into an mp3 file on itunes?

    How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) that I made into an mp3 file on iTunes? I want to put it on a CD, but I can't figure out how to convert it. I didn't buy it, I made it by converting a YouTube video into an mp3 (I wanted to get the little song in the video for a ringtone.) I'm not sure what to do. 

    Hello ed2345,
    Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
    It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
    I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
    These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
    After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
    As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
    That's how the .m4p file looks like
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
    And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
    Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
    Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

  • How can i import an mp3 to a Notification Ringtone under the "Sound Settings"?

    how can i import an mp3 to a Notification Ringtone under the "Sound Settings"? (i can do it to "Phone Ringtones" easy, but not Notifactions)

    This might work as well and will allow drag and drop of mp3 files. This is written as if the phone is connected to the computer.
    In the sd card, check if there is a folder called media. In the media folder verify or create a folder called audio. Within the audio folder create the following folders: alarms, notifications, and ringtones. These should be typed exactly as written. Copy or move the files into the folder you want them in. Disconnect the phone from the computer and let the remount the sd card. Now go into your notification or ringtones list. The files you put into the individual folders should automatically be there.
    I know that this works on the Eris and I got the method back when only the eris and droid 1 was available. I just can't remember exactly where I got it. Hopefully it also works for the Droid 1.

    Be nice please.

  • How do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro, how do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro

    HELP
    how do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro, how do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro
    Runnig 10.6.8 on a MacBook PRO.....

    The easiest fix if you're running Snow Leopard is to export all your contacts, then import them into something like google (I already had a gmail account), and then just use google to sync your contacts instead of icloud (via the sync with Google button in the address book settings).
    Its a bit sluggish to update, but it works well.  You can then point your iphone, and other iOS devices to use google for contacts too.
    If Apple don't want to look after their customers, other companies will gladly do so....

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    You can use iCloud to sync your Safari bookmarks between your Mac and your iPad.
    Instructions here >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Personally, I like the Wacom stylus for iPad >  Amazon.com: Wacom Tech Corp. Bamboo Stylus for iPad/Tablets: Computers & Accessories
    And try the accessibility features on your Mac. Open System Preferences > Accessibilty
    Apple - Accessibility - OS X
    I just noticeed on your other thread you mentioned that you've had your Mac for seven years so iCloud for syncing bookmarks may not be an option for you unless your Mac at the minimum is  running v10.7.5 with at Safari 5.1.1. See, "Bookmarks" >   System requirements for iCloud
