Unless it's changed since I last had an iPhone you need to add it in the right format to begin with.

Re: The iPhone thread
 

They have to be the correct format and you need to add them through iTunes.

AAC - Apple's implementation of MP4, I think.

Edit - not owned or developed by Apple at all, as it turns out. Has been an ISO standard since 1997, but was implemented in iTunes and iPod fairly early on, though not right at the outset, as all my very oldest CD rips are in 128k MP3, which was the default in very early versions of iTunes.

Ive added my Cd's to itunes and uploaded them to my iphone but there northing there to select it as your ringtone

Re: The iPhone thread
 

The ringtone format is M4R, I believe.

Remember you currently can only jailbreak IOS5 as Tethered, use snow breeze, don't update first, you need to download IOS5 and then get snowbreeze to make a jailbroken copy, if you already have a jailbroken phone then you must know this, personally i would wait until they release the untethered version

Re: The iPhone thread
 

How do you change it to that. Sorry ive never had an iPhone befor

Re: The iPhone thread
 

In Itunes you need to select an mp3 and right click then click info, once in there go to the end tab or second from end and you can select the start and finish time, this needs to be 30 seconds or less, once you have done this click ok and then you need to right click the same mp3 in itunes and click on convert to AAC, this will create a file of the section you have stated in the info. You then need to right click on the newly created files in itunes and go to the folder it is located in, once here you need to rename the file type to m4r, once this is complete, delete the 30 second file from within itunes and go back to info on the original mp3 and remove the start and finish times.
now go back to your newly created m4r file and double click it which will add it to itunes, plug you iphone in and select it then go along to the ringtone tab and click sync selected ringtones, select this and sync it and it's on your phone.

Ive got it now in my ring tones on itunes but it doesn't seem to want to go on my iphone. Ive done the syc. Ive tryed to just copy that 1 and the copy and paste it but copy not highlighted when you go to edit. it playes in itunes

Re: The iPhone thread
 

Mine's untethered because it had the old boot loader 3.5.2 as opposed to the 3.5.2.3 etc that were the fixed ones by Apple.

I used itunes to install the new firmware that I downloaded. ran the rest through sn0wbreeze. it patched the firmware ok, but I was getting error 1061 all the time.

so I used iREB to put it properly into DFU mode and it worked straight away with itunes and installed the patched firmware.

had to install installous through Cydia, and then all was done.

don't know whether to keep it, or put it on ebay for mega money.
you don't often see an untethered IOS5 3GS with tomtom on it, do ya?! :)

I'm too smart and dangerous :D

I thought the camera worked from the lock screen now? I can't see it.

Re: The iPhone thread
 

Have you made an AAC file and made sure its shorter than 30 Seconds? It also needs to be in the ringtones folder on iTunes.

If you still can't work out how to do it. Go to this site and you should be able to find most things to download or the site can help you make your own.

or failing that googling iPhone ringtones gives plenty of results ;)

Re: The iPhone thread
 

The most common error during the launch of iOS5 was related to Apple's servers being hammered. Have you tried since then?



If you already have iOS5 downloaded...

Just try "Update" within iTunes. It shouldn't be a problem now.

If it is a problem, or it tries to spend ages performing a backup, then instead of clicking on Update, shift-click on Restore and browse to the firmware location (e.g. on Windows, it's "C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\<iDevice Name> Software Updates\*.ipsw"
