#IMY RINGTONE HOW TO#
he has instruction on how to do this and use his scripts on his web site. You download the script, put it in the script folder. I use Doug's apple scripts " make ringable " script. I like this way to do it because it is simple and once you have the script installed you can do it all in itunes without having to navigate anywhere else. I have successfully created several ringtones for my iPhone using this method. It will be automatically converted to the appropriate file format to be a ringtone and imported into iTunes. and save as an "Audio Only" file on your desktop or other convenient location.ĭownload MakeiPhoneRingtone from Rogue Amoeba and launch the app.ĭrag the file exported from QuickTime Player into the MakeiPhoneRingtone window. It's best to err on the side of caution and not go above 39.75 seconds.įrom the menu bar, select File -> Export. Move the start and end so the selection is not more than 40 seconds. and the scrubber will turn into a selector for the desired start and end. If the audio file is longer than 40 seconds, you will need to trim it down: If the file is a song in iTunes, control-click on the file and select "Show in Finder", then open QuickTime Player and drag the file from the Finder to the QuickTime Player icon in the dock. Open the audio file you want to make into a ringtone in QuickTime Player.
#IMY RINGTONE MAC OS#
This solution requires Mac OS X, but is otherwise free:
Make sure that "Sync Ringtones" is selected in the phone sync options (mine was off by default).Īfter syncing, you can select your new ringtone in Settings, Sounds at the Custom section at the top.
m4r file into the Ringtones folder of your iTunes (or, just double-click it and iTunes will handle it automatically). Navigate to where the file was created on disk, somewhere like music\iTunes\iTunes Music\ĭrag and drop this. Delete it from your iTunes library now, but be sure to check "keep file" in the delete dialog so the file itself isn't removed, just the library entry. This will create a new file in your iTunes library. Make sure the import setting is set to "iTunes Plus" (AAC). If you don't have this option, go to Edit, Preferences, General tab, and click the Import Settings button. On the File menu, select "Convert" > "Create AAC Version". Remember, ringtones can't be over 40 seconds! If you want to use just a part of the song/sound, right click it, select "Get Info", then "Options" tab, and enter a start and stop time there. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.If the song/sound you want to use isn't already in your iTunes library, add it to your iTunes library first. If the problem with the IMY file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the IMY file. If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the IMY file should operate with your programs without any problem.
