No custom iPhone ringtones with new iTunes?

Has anyone else tried to import m4r files into the ringtones folder of iTunes with no luck? Is the new iTunes not supporting custom rings? If so - BOOOO Apple. If I am doing something wrong - help? I made the files and saved them as Quicktime Mpeg-4 audio compression, then renamed to m4r. No dice. Adivce?

Yes thanks, I just realized that with google-searching...my mistake was to encode files with QT, when I had to use a AAC codec then change it to m4r. (just explaining for others out there - you can use any audio program to create ringtones as long as you save as AAC, then change to m4r.
roaminggnome - I only don't like to use iTunes b/c I like to select different passages of songs and multi-track them with each other, apply effects, shizzy stuff like that, so iTunes isn't the bestest really.
Thanks!

    PLUG your iPhone to PC and go here on your PC...Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers. under unspecified you will see apple iPhone......right click on it and remove device. unplug your iPhone and replug it to your pc and iTunes should open and will see your phone.

  • How to transfer iphones info with new itunes without losing everything

    my mac recently crashed due to hard drive failure. It has been replaced but has lost eveything on it. Now when i plug my iphone in the 'new' itunes doesnt recognize it and if i sync it will erase eveything. so i would love to know how i can transfer my music, contacts and apps to the new itunes?

    On your new Mac, start iTunes, check for updates and ensure you have the latest version.
    Sign-in to the iTunes Store (creating a new Apple Id if needed).
    On your old Mac locate your Song files and make a secure backup.
    Restore the secure backup to a folder on your new Mac.
    On your new Mac, import the Song files into your library - once complete, make a secure backup of your Song files.
    On your new Mac, start iTunes Match and allow the process to run to completion - following the notes in the User Tips area of this forum to overcome any issues that may arise.
    On your iPhone 5, start the iTunes Match service and allow the process to complete whilst in good local WiFi and/or physically connected.

    3.  Locate your ringtone in the folder.

    Can someone help ?

    If you have music from other sources on your phone (e.g. copied from CDs) and you don't have them on a backup, then there are some program listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT4623 how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

    how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

    The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
    Connect the device. 
    Select the device.
    Select Sync.
    In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default.  With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
    If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S.

    My old computer has crashed with my old itunes on it. How can I transfer my music from my iphone to my new itunes library?

    Use the backup of the old computer and copy the iTunes files to the new one.
    However, since you are writing here, you probably didn't have a backup, so check out this user provided support document https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty.  Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

    Yes.
    Restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data that should be included with your computer's backup such as your documents, photos, etc.
    Important to maitain a backup with any computer platfirm but event more so with Windows due to being very insecure and unreliable,

  • HT4527 Followed all steps - phone not syncing with new itunes/new pc

    I have followed the steps in this article for moving itunes to a new computer. I had no problems with loading my music, itunes folder and mobilesync backups to an external drive and copying them all to a new pc. (Windows 8). Installed itunes onto the new computer and plugged in my phone and restored with last backup. All went well with that. The computer is authorised with my account.
    THE PROBLEM:  Now when I plug in my iphone 5 to new itunes/ new windows 8 pc, it does not sync. It goes through 3 of 3 steps in about 2 seconds saying syncing, but not really syncing. I tested by adding a new app through the itunes and then synced phone. It didn't add it to the phone. Then I deleted it and added an app to the phone through the app store on the phone. When I synced the phone itunes failed to recognize a purchase on the phone that needed to be added to itunes.
    So the itunes and phone are not actually in sync with each other and I don't know how to correct that. I have an ipad with retina display which needs to be added but I don't dare until I figure out what the problem is with syncing the devices to the new itunes/computer. It sees my phone when plugged in - I see my 4 pages of apps on the apps tab. I do not see my email accounts listed on the INFO tab. It just says "your contacts/calendars are being synced with your phone over the air." In the block where my accounts were listed on the old itunes/computer it is empty on this one. The phone is continuing to download email though.
    Any help in getting the phone and new itunes in true sync again would be much appreciated!

    Same problem with a mac. My computer will recognize the iPod on the desktop and itunes even opens up when I plug it in, but the iPod doesn't appear on the iTunes menu and won't let me sync.

  • How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.
