This gives a few tweaks to the comments I had found on the net so it may well
work OK for me. Will give it a try. Some apparently had problems in renaming
the file with the extension but perhaps this does work when extensions are
shown.
Thanks, Kevin, for this useful reply.

Hi Carol.
To create a ring tone in iTunes:
1. Ensure that you have preferences set to convert to AAC when importing
2. Locate the track in iTunes and use control + I to edit the details
3. In the Options or Advanced tab, not sure which, there is a start and end
time. Set this so that it is for the portion you want as your ring tone and
make sure it is no more than 30 seconds
4. Now that’s done, use the applications key when focused on the track and
choose convert to AAC from the menu
5. When complete in a second or two, you will now see 2 entries in your
iTunes library for that track
6. Use control + C to copy the tone file you’e just created and paste it
into your documents library or some other folder
7. Use the rename from file menu when focused on that tone file and change
the extension from M4A to M4R. You will of corse need to be able to see the
extension and so have this set to show in folder options
8. Now back in iTunes, use file menu and select Add File. Navigate to the
folder with your tone and press enter.
9. Your tone will now import and go into the tone section of iTunes and will
sync to your iPhone if you have it set to sync tones
When finished, don’t forget to delete the shortened music track you created
during this process and also to remove the start and end time values in the
original music track.
This is from memory and so I hope it’s pretty much there for you to use with
a bit of tweaking perhaps where my memory has let me down.
Regards.
Kevin

Hi all,
Please can anyone help with the following:
1) My contacts miraculously appeared on my desktop soon after I started
installing items, which is great, but haven't done so on my new laptop. How
can I get these to my second machine in the most efficient manner?
2) Although I can sometimes get Outlook Express to work successfully when
using options with the Shft+F10 menu and making an appropriate choice; in some
circumstances I'm told that I don't have an email programme installed and, if I
have, I should go to Control Panel and associate it with ... Oh dear, where do
I go? Just can't find that one!
3) I'm tearing my hair out with ITunes these days and have always loathed
it but always give in and use it to avail myself of my phones apps etc. I've
been making ring tones and looked at loads of Help docs on changing the m4a
extension of a file to m4r. However, I get lost in following the directions.
I've tried a few converter apps, one of which worked great first time then
wouldn't oblige again and aa few required me to log in and sign up, which I
really object to having to do all the time! Can anyone help me with the
instructions in creating a ring tone (M4R) from scratch, or suggest a really
good utility to change the file types?
Thanks for any help you can give on these. Sorry I'm not that good with the
computer these days ...
Carol P
