How to change the ringtone on iPhone 5. How to make a ringtone for iPhone using iTunes

Changing the default ringtone in the iOS operating system is a little more complicated than on . It is not clear why, but Apple developers did not want to provide an easy opportunity for owners of Apple devices to show their individuality.

Let's not talk too much and get down to business. Let's try to create step-by-step instructions with screenshots for changing the standard ringtone on iPhone from operating system iOS 10.3.1.

First, download the musical composition or song that you will play on your iPhone. Then launch iTunes on your PC and connect your smartphone to it.

In an open window iTunes select a tab "Songs" and simply drag and drop the desired music file there:

In the new window, you need to set an interval of approximately 30-40 seconds. The operating system simply recognizes longer tracks as a regular song or the like. Thus, you need to enter the beginning and end of the melody in numbers. Then click “OK” in the lower right.

Note: it is better to set the ringtone duration for iPhone to 30 seconds.

Then you need to go to the menu “File / Convert / Create a version in AAC format”. It is this format that corresponds to the ringtone for the iOS operating system and, accordingly, the iPhone:

The new “cut” ringtone will appear immediately below the original and will look like this:

Right-click on it (RMB) and select “Show in Windows Explorer” in the context menu that appears:

We need this procedure in order to change the extension of the musical ringtone we created, the one we “cut”.

You can go to the “Start/Control Panel/All Control Panel Items/Folder Options/View” menu and uncheck the checkbox next to “Hide extensions for known file types.” Click OK:

Previously, we clicked “Show in Windows Explorer” - we return to this window and see our future custom ringtone for iPhone. Now you can see the extension of this music file and change it to the one that matches the iPhone ringtone extension.

Old file with extension .m4a change to .m4r. Save the changes. Go to the iTunes window and look for the Songs/Media Library tab when the smartphone is connected to the PC. Just drag our new ringtone into this window:

This is where the dancing with the tambourine practically ends. You just need to synchronize your iPhone with iTunes installed on your PC and that’s it. And don’t forget to change the standard ringtone to your own in the menu of the phone itself.

That's our step-by-step instruction with screenshots for changing the melody (ringtone) on the iPhone ends. We changed the ringtone on an iPhone 5S 16 GB with the iOS 10.3 operating system.

Attention! With the release of iTunes 12.7, the procedure for creating ringtones for iPhone (iPad) has changed somewhat. Read more

The closed nature of iOS provides exceptional security. Only an experienced hacker can “hack” the data on your device. However, high security has a number of side effects. Such an ordinary, at first glance, task of how to set a ringtone on an iPhone can be fraught with some difficulties for beginners who have recently been dealing with Apple products.

The main nuance that should be determined in advance is from what point the melody will be played. Its maximum duration limited to 38 seconds. To do this, in any player, find out at what point in the song the desired melody begins and where it will end. In the future, this will reduce time costs.

Step-by-step instructions for setting a melody

So, to set a ringtone on your iPhone you will need: a computer with iTunes installed on it (if you have Windows), on Mac OS X everything is already set by default, the phone itself with a cable and, in fact, the desired song. For convenience, it is better to place the track on the desktop of your Mac (PC).

Open iTunes and add the song to your library. To do this, click on the menu in the upper left corner of the program window and select “Add to library.”

We go to the desktop and find the desired file.

Below, under the original composition, a trimmed AAC version will appear. Drag it to the desktop.

And at this point, the paths of Windows users and Makovodov diverge for a short time.

Format difficulties: changing the extension

If you have Windows

Click on the composition transferred to the desktop with the same right button and select “Show in Windows Explorer”.

If during the process of installing a ringtone on an iPhone, the “m4a” extension is not displayed in the Explorer window that appears at the end of the file name, then do the following:

In Explorer we follow the path: Alt button => “Tools”> “Folder Options”> View. At the bottom of the window that appears, uncheck the “Hide extensions of registered file types” and click OK.

If you have a Mac

Open Finder and follow the path settings > add-ons, make sure that the “Show all name and file extensions” checkbox is checked (if not, then check it).

Now we return to our AAC cut, click on it once, and then click enter and rename the extension. m4a on the. m4r

If you suffer for a long time, you can put something on the bell

If you've made it this far, you've almost succeeded in setting a ringtone on your iPhone. There are a few simple steps left.

Attention! Before uploading the .m4r cut back to iTunes, first remove the original version of the composition and the AAC version from there. It is important.

Great! Now we upload our cut into iTunes (as we did at the beginning) with the new m4r extension.

We connect the iPhone to the Mac (PC) and open our data by clicking on the iPhone icon in iTunes.

At this point, the interaction from the phone with the computer is over, you can turn it off.

We complete the “epic” in the settings

To complete our story with setting a ringtone, open the settings menu on your iPhone, select Sounds> Ringtone and, having found your melody there, raise your fist victoriously. 🙂

On devices controlled, for example, by Android, this procedure would take much less time. However, competitors are still very far from matching the level of reliability and protection of user data that Apple provides. Moreover, having completed the procedure once, in the future you will be able to cope with it in 2 minutes.
