Create a ringtone for you iPhone from iTunes
Do you want a ringtone on your iPhone, but don’t want to pay iTunes for creating it?
If you have a Mac, and have Garage Band 09, you can do it for free! Here’s how:
Open Garage Band
Choose “iPhone Ringtone”
You can select the “Example Ringtone”
Click “Choose”
Save this, ie, give it a name in “Save As” example: thenameofthesong.band
I like saving mine to my Desktop
Don’t change anything else.
Click on “Create”
Click on the blue “Pastel Slide Medium” and hit your “delete” button on the keyboard
In the bottom right corner of Garage Band, there are 3 little icons, an “eye”, a “i” and
a music note. Click on the music note
This should open the music in your iTunes library.
Choose the song you want to create a ringtone from and drag it to Garage Band and let go.
The orange bar is the song. The yellow bar is the portion of the song the ringtone will be
created from. You can click on the yellow bar and move it to any portion of the song you
want to create the ringtone. You can grab the “end’ of the yellow bar and make the ringtone
longer or shorter. (You can not create/save a ringtone longer than 40 seconds.)
Once you get the ringtone to the right size, click on “Share” at the top of Garage Band,
then “Send Ringtone to iTunes”
That’s it! It should be in your iTunes under Ringtones.
Sync your iPhone and you have a new ringtone!
