How to Create Custom Ringtones iPhone Using iTunes

iPhone users may feel compelled to use iTunes as their primary vehicle for customizing their ringtone— it does seem to make sense that Apple software should be able to handle it. Unfortunately, Apple’s restrictions severely limit your freedom within iTunes.

In order to set up your custom ringtone, you are still forced to sync your device with iTunes. Once synced to iTunes, Apple puts several frustrating barriers in your way in order to try to sell you one of their own ringtones from the iTunes Store.

How to View iCloud Photo Library

Step 1: You need to prepare your source song by importing it into the iTunes library. In order to do this, you need to launch the iTunes application and either drag and drop the mp3 or AAC file into the library, or click “File > Add File to Library” and manually find the song on your drive. After completing this step, right click your chosen song in the library and select “Get Info” on Mac or “Song Info”on PC.

Note: If the song is in your iPhone, you need to extract music from iPhone to iTunes library first.



Step 2: In the “Song Info” or “Get Info” window, look for the “Options” tab. After clicking the “Options” tab, you will have the ability to enter a specific start and end time for the song— this section will serve as your ringtone.



Step 3: You will have to convert the desired section of the song into an “AAC” version. To accomplish this, you need to click “File > Convert > Create AAC Version”.



Step 4: After creating the AAC version, right lick on the AAC song and choose “Show in Windows Explorer”on PC or “Show in Finder” on Mac, you will have to change the extension from .m4a to .m4r.Sponsor ads:Best Torrent Search Engine Sites to Find Your Favorite Torrents



Step 5: Reimport the altered .m4r into the iTunes library and sync it into to your device sound library. You will be able to find the tone within the “Sound” section of the “Settings” application on your iPhone.

Syncing tones to your iPhone will delete the customized tones from iPhone. What’s worse, it will erase your iPhone if you use different iTunes.


Adding more annoying barriers, Apple have announced that they are completely removing the “Tones” tab from all future versions of iTunes.

iPhone users are often directed to use iTunes as an “all-in-one” dashboard for customizing their devices, but its limitations are growing more and more restrictive. Thankfully, there are several intuitive alternatives that accomplish this task more efficiently. After a long search, iMyFone TunesMate easily stands out as the best alternative to iTunes.
