How can I create ringtone? 12.6.

It seems all other posts are for different versions and do not have the specific path for this combination. Any help is appreciated.

Create a ringtone in iTunes

1. Select a track to use as the source. You cannot use an Apple Music item, or anything that is in the cloud.
2. On the Get Info > Options tab set start and stop times less than 40 seconds apart.
3. Under Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings choose AAC Encoder > High Quality 128k.
4. Use File > Convert > Create AAC version.
5. Reset the start and stop times on the original track.
6. Right-click on the new copy and click Show in Windows Explorer or Finder.
7. Delete the new entry from the library without sending to the recycle bin/trash.
8. Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. (You may need to adjust folder options to see the extensions)
9. Move the file into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder inside your media folder, it will be added to the Tones section of the library.
10. If you don't see Tones in the drop down media selection menu click Edit Menu at the bottom and add it.
11. Connect the device, select its icon next to the media selection menu, then the device's Tones tab, and set the sync options.
12. Sync the device.

I'm unable to a custom tone as well. The AAC option doesn't appear in the context menu. In order to create a tone, does iTunes have to be able to verify the copyright of the audio file or something? I'm trying to add a Star Trek TNG audio clip I found online.

Try steps 3 & 4 again. The convert feature is no longer on the context menu.

Still not working...

Oh hello! There's an update.... I'll try again after updating iTunes.

Just updated iTunes and double checked steps 3-4 and still nothing. One thing I wish the iPhone had is an open file system where I could access tones, photos, vids, and docs.

Have you been able to set your import format to AAC 128k? On a Mac it is found under iTunes > Preferences > General rather than Edit > Preferences > General.

Do you not see the File > Convert submenu?

So all of the above worked, except I don't want to sync tones... I used to be able to drag and drop the ringtone file from my itunes library screen to the phone and it would add... I have 6 already on my phone from this method. Wonder why it's not letting me D&D, see image, it's not even making my iPhone "blue" meaning I can drop it

I don't know why it won't do it now if it used to, but then I don't understand why people like to manually manage a device when syncing is more flexible and powerful.

Syncing is not more flexible when I use two computers and have to "sync and erase" everytime

Ah, I have the same library on two computers, and use a portable drive to keep them in sync. See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy. Three parallel copies of the library provides a lot of resilience against failure.

I figured it out. I didn't have manually manage music & videos checked... which then erased the 6 I already had lame but I'll live lol
