Disable the make yourself at home megaphone function. Option Be at home from megafon - detailed review. Special conditions for Abkhazia
I was given a brand new iPhone for my birthday. Not that I really dreamed about it, but it’s “fashionable” and, as one of my friends said, “if you see a blonde with an iPhone, most likely it’s a dyed brunette.” Fi, of course, is not funny at all, but mastering the phone was really not easy, although, of course, very interesting. Over the entire period of using this phone, I learned a lot of new things, and today I will tell you how to make a ringtone for iPhone using iTunes.
First of all, after squealing with delight and having played enough with the basic functions, I decided to change the ringtones. The instructions for the phone, of course, didn’t say anything like that, so I had to go online. Some additional programs, system files- I was even upset at first how difficult everything was. And then on some forum they finally explained to me how to make ringtones for my iPhone myself. I share valuable experience with Macster.
1. First, you need to launch the iTunes program and load the melodies from which we will make ringtones into your library. For example, I want the melody "After Dark" from the movie "From Dusk Till Dawn" as a ringtone.
In the “File” section, select “Add to library...” and find the desired song.
2. Unfortunately, ringtones for iPhone have one drawback - they should not be more than 30 seconds, so the song will have to be trimmed.
I click right click mouse over the song and select the “Information” menu. A new window opens where you need to go to the “Options” section. I like the opening part of After dark, which lasts exactly 27 seconds. I indicate this time in the “Start” and “Stop time” columns.
3. Now the melody for the ringtone needs to be recoded. Once again, I right-click on “After Dark” and select the “Create AAC version” menu.
5. A Finder window opens, where there are two files in the folder: one with the extension .mp3 ( full version songs), the other - .m4a (the piece I need is 27 seconds long). The extension for iPhone ringtones is .m4r, so we rename the file from After dark.m4a to After dark.m4r.
7. After this, I delete the newly created file from the iTunes library, return to the desktop, double click on the After dark.m4r file - and it appears in iTunes in the “Ringtones” section.
8. I connect the iPhone to the computer using a USB cable and select the “Ringtones” section in the phone menu on iTunes. I check the boxes for synchronization and click “Apply”.
8. I turn off the phone, and voila - the melody I need appears in the ringtone menu.
9. I return to point 2 and uncheck “Start” and “Stop time” from the initial song.
That's it! I'm waiting for my friend to call, but this time I won't answer her. The music is too good. And you go practice - because now you know how to make a ringtone for iPhone.
Create a ringtone that you can put on iPhone call easy enough. But the process is so complicated that when faced with it for the first time, many iPhone owners experience certain difficulties and do not understand how to do everything correctly.
In our opinion, this complexity is created artificially, although the process is extremely simple. Apple intentionally complicated the process of installing music on a call so that people would buy ready-made ringtones and bring money instead of cutting the music themselves.
Those who want to get their favorite ringtone for free should read this article, which is step by step guide on how to create a ringtone from your favorite song.
On iPhone you can put any melody no longer than 40 seconds, the file extension should be .m4r. There are four ways to make such a ringtone on iPhone:
Each of them has its own characteristics, we will analyze them below.
This manual only covers creating a ringtonefor iPhone. We will talk about how to set it to a call in another article: “How to set your own ringtone on iPhone.”
Buying a ringtone from the iTunes Store
This is the easiest way to get your favorite ringtone. There are many sounds available in the store for every taste, see the “Sounds” section. After purchase, the sound will automatically appear on the iPhone in the “Settings” - “Sounds” menu.
This method has two drawbacks: it requires money (one sound costs 19 rubles), plus the selection of ringtones in the store, although large, is limited - there may easily not be your favorite track.
How to make a ringtone for iPhone using iTunes
If you have a Mac, then the iTunes program comes bundled with operating system, and most likely already installed on your computer. If you Windows user, then you need to download and install the application. You can do this from the Apple website from here: apple.com/ru/itunes/download.
The whole process will be shown using the example of the latest version at the time of writing this instruction. iTunes programs 12.4. IN previous versions media player, the cutting process is slightly different - more on that below.
To begin, select your favorite track and transfer it to your media library, in this window (you can add it through the top “File” menu, or simply drag it with the mouse):
Pay attention to the panel on the left. You need to transfer with the mouse not to the “music” of the iPhone itself, but rather to the “songs” of the media library.
Next, you need to transcode the song into AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) format. If you have iTunes version 12.4 and higher, then select the desired song and go to the top menu “File” - “Convert” - “Create a version in AAC format”:
The original track will remain unchanged, and a copy will be created in AAC format.
If your media player version is younger than 12.4, then simply right-click on the track and select “Create version in AAC format.”
As a result, we see the following picture:
AAC format track has been created.
The duration of a ringtone for iPhone cannot be more than 40 seconds. So you have to choose your favorite part of the composition and trim the piece. Decide which 40-second part of the song you want to hear as a ringtone, right-click on the track, and select “Information” (for Mac, this is “Information”).
In the window that opens, go to the “Options” tab and change the beginning and end of the music segment so that it is no more than 40 seconds:
You can specify any beginning and end: for example, from 1:02 to 1:42, etc.
Click “Ok”, right-click on the created copy of the track and select “Open in Windows Explorer”, or “Show in Finder” if you have a Mac. The explorer with the track will open:
As you can see, the file has the extension .M4A. You need to change it to the extension .M4R (the difference is in the last letter) - to do this, right-click on the file, change the extension through “Properties”, and get a ready-made ringtone.
If you do not see the extension of the music file, then go to “Control Panel” - “Appearance and Personalization” - “Folder Options”. Here, on the “View” tab, uncheck the “Hide extensions for known file types” menu.
