How to put ringtones on IPhone sent to me by email?
Someone sent me a ringtone via email, and I want to put it on my iPhone, but I'm not sure how. 10 points to the first correct answer!
Quick questions… Are those ringtones made for the iPhone if so this is going to be easiest way… Access your email file via a computer dl the files from there and then open iTunes go to the tab marked tones and the drag and drop the tones from there.
First of all, that email ringtone better have a.m4r extension.
If it does not, it'd better be a playable mp3 that iTunes can play.
In any case, here's how to make your own ringtone or how to sync an.m4r extension
1: Launch iTunes
2: Find the song that you want to use for your iPhone ringtone, make note of the start and stop times of what you want to be the actual ringtone (the chorus, or whatever).
3: Control-click (Mac) or Right-click (Windows) the song you chose and select 'Get Info'
4: Click the 'Options' tab and set the start and stop time of your ringtone in the settings below. Keep the selection at 30 seconds or less. Click 'OK' - Note: I suggest making a backup copy of the song so you don't accidentally shorten the song itself.
5: Control-click (Mac) or Right-click (Windows) the song again and select 'Convert Selection to AAC' and iTunes will convert the song as another copy in the AAC format.
6: Now Control-Click or Right-click the ringtone and select 'Delete' making sure to click on the "Keep Files" button
7: Locate the file you just created. Typically located in your home directory under Music > iTunes > iTunes Music and then under the band's name, the file you're looking for will have an m4a extension
8: Now replace the 'm4a' extension of the ringtone file with "m4r", so if the file is named MrRoboto.m4a the new file will be called MrRoboto.m4r - you'll get a warning about changing the file extension time but click "OK"
9: Double click to open the ringtone file you just renamed.iTunes will automatically add this new ringtone to the Ringtones folder within the application
10: Finally, connect your iPhone and sync your new ringtone! You can then select it as any other iPhone ringtone via your iPhone settings.
This method will work in iTunes under Windows or Mac OS X!
- Someone sent me an email from iphone, can i get their number from it somehow? A client of mine sent me an email from their iphone but i can't find their number to call them back. Is there a way i can get it from the email they sent?
- Sent multiple photos from my iphone 4S to my email and they're not showing up? I attached about four photos and sent them about an hour ago to my email but they're nowhere to be found. I just tested sending one photo and it worked almost instantly. Are they just lost? Do you think they'll show up? I'm using my Wi-Fi for internet not my data so shouldn't this be quicker?
- My sent folder is not showing all the emails I have sent. Why is this happening? This seems to be random, with some showing and others not. Since Thursday, nothing I've sent out is in the sent folder. More worrying, on my iPhone, the entire sent folder has been emptied.
- Just got a new iPhone 4, messages are being sent from email? I broke my phone so I was sent a new one. After setting it up all of my messages are being sent from my icloud email. When I go into settings and go to iMessage there's an option to change where I would like to send and receive messages. The only option I can choose is my email. There's an option for my number but it is grayed out and I can't chose it. How do I fix this?
