I have downloaded a song from iTunes. I would like it to be associated with an incoming ringtone. How would I go about doing that?
 
There are plenty of apps(free) in itunes store to do so. Do a search and follow the instructions.
 
1: On your PC, load iTunes by opening the Start menu and selecting the program from the list.
2: From your library, right-click on the song you want to use as a ringtone and then select Get info.

3: Select the Options tab and then tick the Start Time and Stop Time boxes. Enter times at which you want the ringtone to start and stop. You will have to listen to the track first and note down the time you want it to start. The stop time must be within 30 seconds, as this is the maximum length for a ringtone.

4: Click OK. Right-click on the track again, and then select Create AAC version. iTunes will convert the song. It will appear as a duplicate track - you can identify it by the track length in seconds.

5: Right-click on the original track, and then using the Options tab from the Get info menu, return the start and stop times to their original times. Otherwise, when you play that track, it will only play the section between your start and stop times!
6: Right-click on the short ringtone track and click Show in Windows Explorer.

The file will be highlighted. Right-click on it and choose Rename. Now change the extension from .m4a to .m4r. Click Yes when asked if you want to change the extension. If you can't see the extension, it's because Windows is set to hide the extensions. To show the extension for editing

7: Double-click the file to add it to your iTunes library (or add it using the 'Add file to library' menu option in iTunes). Then, in iTunes, click the drop-down arrow to select the Tones section of your library. You'll see your ringtone there.

8: Connect your smartphone to your PC and click on iPhone when it appears on the right-hand side of iTunes.Make sure Tones is set to sync with your phone. If you choose 'selected tones' rather than 'All tones' make sure you tick the tones you want to appear on your iPhone.

9: When the sync is finished, tap Settings on your iPhone, then Sounds, then Ringtone and select the new tone. It should appear at the top of the list, above the default Ringtones. Moreovre there are many apps by EDITED

John, tried to follow your instructions above but at 3, all items under the Options Tab are grayed out and therefore can't tick box or change times. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim.
 
Hey interested to know which song did you download from iTune?
