notifications/ringtones

hi, how do i load my ringtones/notifications sounds from my desktop computer to my new iphone? thanks

The only way I know how to do it is by syncing them into iTunes by adding them as individual files. Then make sure your iPhone has sync all ringtones selected. Make sure your ringtones and alert sounds have the correct file extension.

I get my 4S on Monday so am brand new to iPhones.

What file extensions can I use when creating ringtones on my Windows computer? .MP3s I hope?

I was wondering the same ...

There are videos and help sections on the net. I make my ringtones by editing a song or sound on audacity or sound booth what ever you have. A ringtone is a maximum of 30 seconds 29 to be sure. Save the file as an m4a. Which is mp4 audio file.

Find the file you just made on your computer. I would advise the desktop for now. Backspace the file extension and type in .m4r (this is the extension that tells iTunes to see file as ringtone)

Then add the files to iTunes.

Oh yeah keep the file name small too. Eg ringtone1.m4r

Just tried again. Saved file as an mp4 audio. Then just changed extension to .m4r
