I've followed the steps but the only time I see ringtones is when my iphone is plugged in and it comes up blank. any advice?
This is what I used and it works pretty well both for mac and windows. I just bought it today.
Efiko Software: iPhoneRingToneMaker
It's $7.50 and I'm not affiliated with them in anyway shape or form.
why i m not able to change the file from .m4a to .m4r?
I use iringer. It's free, only some banner ads to deal with, let's me import a song, cut out what I want and then it sends it to iTunes as a ringtone ready to sync.
FREE solution. I can't remember where I got this info, but I've tried it and it works for me with iTunes 7.7 and my iPhone 3G
------------------------
1. First get the song you want to make the ringtone from.
2. Open it with quicktime pro (or any other editor)
3. Cust out the section you want as the ringtone and save it as a new mp3.
4. Import it into iTunes
5. in iTunes go into
Preferences > Advanced > Importing
Set to Import using: AAC encoder 128Kbps
6. Right click on the file you want as a ringtone and select
Convert selection to AAC
Your file will now be converted to an AAC file. (appears in iTunes under your original file)
7. Right click on the new file, click on show in finder (or open folder on windows)
8. You will now see your AAC file, all you have to do now is change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r
9. Drag the file out of the folder to the desktop, then drop it back into itunes.

and are all these programs compatible with purchased music from itunes? some of the above instructions specify mp3 files. i'm looking for something that will convert my protected songs into short clips i can set my ringtones as. i don't want to spend money on a program that will end up being useless to me! thanks!
