Im trying to get some pretty standard phone ringtones on to my iPhone. Ive tried using some You Tube help guides, but Im unable to get them into the Ringtones section in the library.
I have purchased a few ringtones from itunes and they are in purchased AAC format and they are all under 30 seconds long.
I opened up in explorer and changed the name file extension to m4r.
It says ringtone instead of purchased AAC now when back in itunes, but if I try and drag it over to the ringtone section of the library, all my library highlights and wont let me drop it in.
Scratching my head.
As always many thanks in advance.
Heres a screen shot of whats happening if I try and drag one in;

Once you change the extension to m4r (it should have been m4a to start), double-click on the file in Windows Explorer (not in iTunes) - that should result in the file being imported into the Ringtones section of the library.

This is the bit where its not happening.
I right click and open it in explorer, its in m4r, then I double click on it and all it does is start playing on itunes.
Doesnt go in ringtones.

The answer I think led to two things.
1. Change setting to convert to AAC, I assumed because they had been purchased in AAC this would suffice.
2. The purchased AAC files from itunes seem more of an issue than non purchased??
Went through this how to guide in the end, thanks to you and the above reply.
