iphone question

You can make them in garageband using mp3s. I think there's a create ringtone option in there.

BTW, will you be my mum? I'd love someone to buy me an iphone ?

you just want someone to beat you across the buttocks and then you can say "oooh no mummy!" ?

I wouldn't know, I'm so old fashioned I've got mine on Ring Ring, and even that's a bit disagreeable ?

Sorry, my last reply wasn't very helpful.

Just copied this from another internet forum that might help.

"Finally! Apple has added the capability to allow users to create their own ringtones in GarageBand and export them to the iPhone. You need to have the latest 4.1.1 version of GarageBand 8 running. It takes about 5 minutes from start to finish, and you can even use songs from your iTunes library.

It really is stupid easy. Granted, this is something I did back in the 1.0.0 firmware days with an unlocked iPhone, but it was not sanctioned and required jailbreaking your iPhone first. Hacking ringtones is officially a thing of the past.

Here's the process.

Connect your iPhone. Open GarageBand. Create a track using Apple's loops or compose an entire song on your own. (The possibilities are sort of endless here and opens the floodgates for highly inappropriate ringtones.) Click on the "Share" tab, and under it is a selection called "Send Ringtone to iTunes". Click that, and it lets you select a 10-second loop of your track, mixes it, and sends it to iTunes. Once you've done that, simply sync your iPhone and voila! You've created your own ringtone.

After you sync, you can go into the iPhone's settings and choose the newly added ringtone as your ringer. It appears in a separate list from the official Apple ringtones, called "Custom."

At first, I used an existing song I was working on in GarageBand. The 10-second loop sounds pretty good as a ringtone, but I decided it would be more fun to choose something from my iTunes library.

With GarageBand open, I went into my music folders and dragged a song into the GarageBand track editor. It imported the song with no issues. I then picked a 10-second loop of that song (a killer riff from Lamb of God's Sacrament CD) and repeated the process above. It worked just the same. I was able to use a song from my iTunes music library and create a ringtone out of it for free. No silly extra charge."

However, I've just looked on my phone and I have no idea what garageband is or where it is on the menus?!

Has anyone found the volume has improved with the new phone? I downloaded 'Baker Street' to use as my ringtone in the hope it would be loud enough to hear, but even that is too quiet.

So I've gone back to the basic tones supplied with the phone ?

Haven't noticed an improvement with the volume since upgrading mine. Sadly.

I want a normal ringtone but I'm reduced to the old telephone bell tone. I hate novelty ringtones with a passion.

Hes got a siren type ringtone at the mo, everytime his phone rings his Dad shouts SUBMARINE DIVE DIVE DIVE and I think hes not finding it funny anymore ?

So Garage band where the heck do you find it, is it on the phone or some website, Im crap at this I told you,

I want to dazzle him with my know how and be down wid da kidz

Baron Id gladly be your mother Id even beat you with a table tennis bat if you asked nicely enough

Thanks for that La P

Ive had a quick read and now I need to go and lie down in a dark room
