Creating Ringtones
You can create ringtones in iTunes using songs purchased from the iTunes Store (U.S.
only). Your iTunes Store account will be charged for each ringtone.
Eligible songs have a bell icon next to them. If you don’t see the bell column in your
iTunes library, choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and select Ringtones. Then
choose View > View Options and select Ringtone. (If a message appears, click Check
Songs.) If you don’t see the bell column in the iTunes Store, select Ringtone in View
Options while you’re in the iTunes Store.
Create a ringtone:
1 Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
2 In iTunes, select the song you want to use, then choose Store > Create Ringtone.
3 In the editing window that appears, choose the part of the song you want to use as
the ringtone.
You can use up to 30 seconds of the song.

fade in or out.

4 When you’re ready, click Buy.
Important: After you click Buy, you can change the ringtone’s name and other
information, but you can’t select a different portion of the song.
You can sync ringtones created with iTunes with any iPhone you own, and play them
on up to five authorized computers. After you sync your iPhone, you can assign the
ringtone to one or more contacts.
You can also create custom ringtones in Garage Band. See Garage Band Help for more
