Ringtones

[jjr]

I have done a lot of research on this topic but nothing seems to be working.

I recently got my first iPhone but have used other Apple products before.  I am using version 11.0.5.5 of iTunes and am a windows user.

I downloader iringer to create m4r files but I cannot get them into my tones folder.  I have read various things about checking a box under the tones tab in devices.  However, when I go to my device there is no tab along the top and no box to check, there is only the one in the sidebar and nothing can be dragged/dropped into any of the tones folder.  The m4r ringtone shows up as music (which I can play) but not as a ringtone only even when I sync my phone.

I have even tried other ways of creating custom tones but nothing goes into the tones folder.  It's only a ringtone but it is so frustrating that Apple make it so hard, and I kind of regret getting an iPhone over something else.  Any help would be much appreciated.

No.

The times I've used it I've not paid anything.

I have tried this too, and it I can get the clip to sync with my phone. I assume that when I go into my iphone I would see it in the ringtone selection section when I go into settings but it's not there unless there is another way to set it as your ringtone? I can still play it as a music clip but don't see how to set is as a ringtone.

Find the song In the library in the app and hit the add to ringtones button.

It always shows up for me in the ringtone selection list. The phone should identify it as a ringtone by its format.

ie, Settings >Sounds >Ringtone

Do you think there could be a problem with the phone itself as I can't get ringtones to show up either from iringer and now from unlimtones.  I have followed all the steps that everyone has suggested yet nothing in settings > sounds > ringtones except the ones that come with the phone?

Sometimes turning the phone off and back on can fix a small glitch. If not you can do a reset by holding down the power key and the home button.

If you have a local apple store a genius will walk you through it.

Best to Make an appointment first.

If you are on PC try following the instructions in this video and do the ringtones via computer.
