Can't get custom ringtones on 4s?

[headgamer]

So I got an iPhone 4S today, and I cannot get my custom ringtones on my new phone! I used Audacity to convert my mp3 ringtones to .m4a, then renamed the extension to .m4r (at least that is what Mr. Internet said to do), but I cannot get them added to iTunes! I have double-clicked them and they play just fine in iTunes, I have tried to drag them into the Ringtones folder, I have tried to manually add the RIngtones folder into iTunes. Nothing. FRUSTRATING.

Anyone have any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

TIA.

Sean

in the syncing tabs of itunes make sure you select that you want to sync ringtones

i got my mom a 4s to start learning on, cannot get customized ringtones installed, spent almost 2hrs. My Blackberry Z10 took a [redacted] 4sec to install and set the ringtone. Will never give up my smartphone for a dumbphone...
