I don't think you need to do that Pengy Hang on , let me just check

Do it! and get an android 

Interesting! Some days I think that I would love a Frank tune, but in three years I have never had sound on. I rely on that buzz.

Pengy , I've got Gone with the Wind as my ringtone , but I can't for the life of me remember how I did it . I can check with my son and get back to you tomorrow , or alternatively you could ask El Loro , he will probably know

tomorrow will do fine Baz - it's given me a headache so I'm going to bed - thanks all 

Pengy you need to download an app called ringtone designer and convert it through that. There is also a instruction video on YouTube

I don't have an iphone, but I couldn't work out how to do that on my Samsung.   I found a complex instruction on youtube that involved making files, renaming them, editing functions etc, it involved really going into the guts of the phone.    The guy had heaps of 'OMG - thank you!!!' comments and one chap said 'or alternatively, go to the song, choose the menu button and just click 'set as ringtone' 

I've watched the youtube video and I still can't do it 

Pengy, I'll have a look at it when I go home.  I don't have itunes installed on this pc.

 

Pengy i had to get someone to do all that .m4a to .m4r for me as i couldn't be bothered working it all out, i know it involved taking a 30sec or less snippet of the song i wanted (for some reason any longer and it wouldn't work)

 

 

i think they make it complicated so you have to buy the ringtone aswell and the song!

 

Hope that works for you Pengy

  That's probably the one thing I hate about iphones.  And the fact that you can only use a small snippet of the tune as a ringtone.  I loved nokia for the fact that once a song was on your phone you could set it as a ringtone and got the whole track with the press of one button.

If they can't cope with Apple, they won't stand a chance with Android.

see that's the beauty of android - you can set any song as a ring tone -no having to buy the song as well as the ring tone version.  It's just apple greed.

 

I've made the ring tone and it's on my itune list as a ring tone but it's still not appearing on my phone   I give up 

I've done everything that is on this video - it's appearing as a ring tone in my itune list but won't appear on my ringtone list on my phone 

I don't think the ringtones are importing on to my phone - anyone know how I can do this?

what exactly is that supposed to mean? 

Theres a tones tab on my phone (the name of your device) menu of itunes, in there there is an option to sync all tones or selected tones, try checking the all tones option and then syncing your phone pengy.

fixed it 

my sync tones tab wasn't everso slightly ticked for the tone to sync  

 

shouldn't have to be so flipping difficult 

Yay glad you've got it sorted, now you can start enjoying your Iphone

Glad you've sorted it Pengy

Facetime is wonderful.

Yay! Well done pengy, I was about to go look at our iTunes but I'm pleased you did it I've got an app and love making my own tones with it
