Im trying to add a ringtone but iTunes 11 won't accept my .m4r file

I have recently made a ringtone in Adobe Audition for my iPhone 4. Apon completion, I saved the file as .mp3, but but later changed it to .m4r. I looked threw a few discussions and tried nearly all that was suggested to me, (such as...) going to "File" "Add to Library" *Select ringtone "Add". Everybody's telling me it will add the "Tones"File but it won't add it, iTunes completely ignores what I am trying to do. I've tried going threw "Finder" and adding it manually... But iTunes still just ignores it. I'm not sure what to do at this point so I shall ask the community...

This is embarassing... Problem solved, I found another page that told me I had to go into iTunes and tell the iPhone to sync tones. I had no knowledge of this step until now, very sorry. Everyone who see's this question, please remember to do that last step. All of my ringtones work now.

  • ITunes 11 won't take my .m4r files :/

    I know this has been asked a million times, but I am having a serious problem with trying to get a ringtone on my phone :/ I have tried every solution I've found on here and everywhere else on the web where I've found a "solution" tons of people happy that their problems have been solved and so easily by everything I've tried, but I'm beginning to think that I am  a unique case. I have gone through every step: selecting a file, get info, choosing section (the file is only 4 seconds long), creating an AAC version, moving the AAC to the desktop, changing it from .m4a to .m4r, deleting both .mp3 and .aac files from my library, aaaaaaaaaaaand that's where it goes wonky :/
    I've tried to drag it into iTunes, it won't accept it. Simply put, nothing happens at all.
    I've tried to go under file and "Add file to library" to no avial.
    I've gone into the files and created a folder for Tones and added it to that; nope.
    I've removed the .mp3 file and then used iTunes to "locate" the .m4r file. This makes it work on iTunes, but it wouldnt sync to my phone.
    In my latest attempt, I went into iTunes media and dropped the .m4r file into the "Automatically add to iTunes". It vanished as soon as it went it, and a new Tones folder was created in media next to music. I lept for joy thinking I was done; but I should've known better :/ I sync'd my iPhone 4 and sure enough, the file was not there under tones.
    I give up...
    Someone please help :c thanks in advance

  • I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

    I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
    When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

  • Forgot passcode to iPad. Has not been connected to itunes. Tried to erase from "find my phone". But it is offline. Tried to restore it. But itunes said it couldn't because it had a passcode. How do I fix this?

    Them try:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Trying to add a line but it says an order is pending

    I tried to add a line but was unable too because I had an order pending. When I checked to see what the order was it showed it would be complete in November of 2013.
    I'm having issues with my phone staying charged so I'm unable to call Verizon.
    What should I do?

        Hi loganpdailey,

  • I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
    My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
    When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
    Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

  • I jumped into a swimming pool, did a few lengths and then realised that my iPod was in my pocket!!! I have tried putting it in rice but it still won't turn on or anything! Could I get it fixed anywhere?

    I jumped into a swimming pool, did a few lengths and then realised that my iPod was in my pocket!!! I have tried putting it in rice but it still won't turn on or anything! Could I get it fixed anywhere? Or is there another trick to recover it?

    If it is dry (in rice for a week and changing the rice every day or so)
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes store won't accept my password from my iPhone 5 this morning. Ideas? Know issues?

    iTunes store won't accept my password from my iPhone 5 this morning. Ideas? Know issues?
    And no matter how many times nor what I change the password to I cannot log in to purchase music.
    Help!

    I tried "resetting" my password, but b****y iTunes just keeps asking me for ANOTHER password, and won't accept the password I want to use! I'm getting mighty fed up with iTunes - I'm a senior citizen, and my memory isn't as sharp as it might have been, so passwords HAVE to be fairly simple and OBVIOUS to me. I can't just keep thinking up new passwords because they are getting more and more irrelevant, and I will NEVER remember them.
    What am I supposed to do now?
    I can't use my iPhone when I'm out of the house, because it won't recognise my new email address and password. I can't use BTFON because it needs my password, which I can't get iTunes to accept.
    I can't get the bloody thing to do anything, and although it cost me £600 when I bought it 2 years ago, I'm not very happy with it any more because I just can't get the thing to do anything.
    HELP!!!!

  • My iTunes purchases won't convert to mp3 files. Any advice?

    My iTunes purchases won't convert to mp3 files. I don't want to burn a CD, either. Any useful advice/help?

    If they will play but will not convert, you probably have DRM "protected" files.  Were they purchased prior to mid-2009?
    If so, and you don't want to burn, your choice is either to replace them, or to upgrade them by using Match.  For the latter option, see
    iTunes Store: iTunes Plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    and look at the section on "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?"
