1. Yes. Download the .mp3/.wav/.m4a files and change them to .m4r. They will now open in the Ringtones section of iTunes.

2. If you've been syncing with your computer, there's no reason to "wipe out" what's already on it. When you sync your phone, it adds the new items, not remove everything and only put back the new stuff.

3. If you purchased ringtones from iTunes, you should be able to re-download them by going to the Purchased section in the iTunes store on your phone (not tested, I haven't bought any ringtones)

Hope this helps. :)

I figured it out shortly after calming down :)
I was pissed off because I thought it deleted my old Ringtones I'd purchased from Apple because they now showed up in iTunes, but wouldn't play so I'd figured it had deleted them. However after undocking my phone they were all still on there.

And when I checked my purchased items none of my ringtones show up so I took for granted I'd have to purchase them again. :confused:

Thought I'd share the link to MW3 console alert tones (via Major Nelson) .

If anyone could turn these to iOS alerts and share, it would appreciated.


Here they are. Thanks for posting the link, BTW. I didn't know about these until now.

Anyone have Futurama ringtones?

I had one that was Bender saying "I've got mail", but when I synced my phone it disappeared and I can't remember where I got it from. :(

I found the "I've got mail" clip.

Just a warning...I tested this on my phone and it's really loud. Even with the volume set to two bars it's attention getting. I don't know how to lower the actual file volume to be better adjusted to the iPhone, but I would if I knew how.

Edit - I loaded the file into Audacity and moved the dB slider to -25 and it's much better. If you've downloaded the original and feel it's too loud click the link again. Also I've added George Carlin saying "There's a letter in your mailbox".

How does one lower the volumes of text tones? I have some I'd like to tweak for sure. The normal way is greyed out in iTunes.

See my post above. I just remembered that I had Audacity. It's not something I use often but it comes in really handy when I do.

Here's a bunch of Super Mario Brothers tones. Not sure which games they all came from though. Enjoy!

Thanks a bunch! Do you still have the louder original one as well?

Thanks again.
