How to Add Ringtones to iPhone using iTunes

New iTunes update sparks some good tendencies. Clearly, Apple finally is trying to “unclutter” the huge monster iTunes is. The application became more organized, but there’s still a lot to improve.

iTunes U was moved into the Podcast section, while Internet Radio stations are now in your music library’s sidebar. Nevertheless, the biggest surprise is that the iOS App Store disappeared from iTunes now.

Goodbye iOS App Store, you won’t be missed. At least you can always download apps directly on your iPhone. But now it’s even more CONFUSING to add ringtones to the iPhone since you can’t even browse them through iTunes.

The ringtones that were in your iTunes library before are safe. Now they are in iTunes media library on your Mac or PC. However, you can’t view them through the iTunes library. Nevertheless, you still can transfer them to your iPhone or even create a new one. Follow the steps below to add a ringtone to iPhone:

  1. Connect your iPhone.

  2. Make sure to check “Manually sync files to iPhone” in your device’s tab.

  3. Locate the m4r ringtone that you want to transfer to your device.

  4. Drag the ringtone from your computer to iPhone in the left sidebar of iTunes

  5. Go into Settings > Tones and select your ringtone.

From now on you always have to plug in iPhone in your computer, whenever you need to transfer a ringtone to iPhone. There’s also no option to add ringtones to your iTunes library and have it there.

Bottom Line

Apple is finally and slowly trying to make iTunes less cluttered. There’s still a big room for improvement but the first step is done. Anyhoo, you can add custom ringtones to iPhone using alternative ways – even faster than before!

iTunes 12.7 focuses on music more than ever before. It also dumps the iOS App Store, so you no longer can browse iOS apps on a desktop.

Besides this, iTunes makes it harder to add ringtones to your iPhone. However, you still can sync your tones by dropping them directly to the iPhone’s sidebar in iTunes.

Alternatively, you may use iRingg, which stays as simple as possible. It accepts any ringtone, music, video, PDF & ePub and sends it to your iPhone or iPad immediately. It's by far the most progressive free ringtone app for iPhones out there.
