RE: using my own music as a ringtone
Hi I created the m4a file, then changed the file extension to m4r and played it in iTunes. When I go to ring tones and search for the file name the list comes up empty. Do you have an idea what I missed?

Then, manually change the extension from M4A to M4R. Then play it in iTunes and it should be added to your ring tones list.

RE: using my own music as a ringtone
OK, thanks. It is definitely less than 40 seconds. It is a short beep. I'll keep trying and maybe I'll luck up.

I followed the steps of first selecting the piece of the song that I wanted as the tone, converting it to AAC, copying the m4a file to my desktop and then changing the extension to m4r before then playing it. This has worked for me every time. Again, though, make sure the file is under 40 seconds. Take Care John D.

RE: using my own music as a ringtone
Yes, ring tones show up in the list, and I finally got it to work. Thanks very much for the help! I have no clue what I wasn't doing before.

Iphone and deleting gmail
OK, I've done some research, and have figured some things out. From what I can tell, I am not getting messages in my inbox that I have already deleted. First, I went to gmail's instructions for setting up an account on the IPhone. It told me to go to "add account", which I did. Because I always read the instructions as a last result, I clicked on the gmail icon and entered my gmail account info. I went back to the instructions to see what I needed to do next and found out that it instructed me not to click on the gmail setup icon because e-mails would be handled differently if I did. As it turns out after reading further, e-mail works exactly as we want if you use the automatic setup for gmail. I tested this by sending myself an e-mail to my gmail account. I saw it in my Outlook gmail inbox as well as on my IPhone. I deleted the e-mail from my IPhone then looked at my Outlook account. What I found was that the e-mail went to the trash folder, which will not reload in your inbox. Those e-mails will stay in the trash for 30 days, at which time they will delete. I'm thinking that maybe some people actually followed the setup instructions and clicked on "other" instead of the automatic gmail setup. If that is the case, I would delete the account and start over. If this is not what happened, then I'm at a loss because mine is working exactly as I want. Hope this helps.

Manually putting music on IPhone using Windows
Hi everybody I am using the Windows version of ITunes, and can't seem to figure out how to manually add music to my phone. I don't want all the music I have on my phone, so have told ITunes that I want to manually add songs myself. The only problem is, I can't figure out how to do that.

RE: Manually putting music on IPhone using Windows
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. Thanks for trying. Am I correct to think that this can be done using a Mac? If so, I might be getting mine sooner than later. Thanks Kim -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Woody Anna Dresner Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 11:55 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Manually putting music on IPhone using Windows Hi Kim, Here's how to put music on an iPod manually. I assume the same steps would work in Windows, though I don't know for certain because I don't have an iPhone. 1. Select the tracks you want to copy. 2. Type control-C to copy them to the clipboard. 3. Focus on the iPod's name in the Source list, where Music, Podcasts, etc. are listed. 4. Type Control-V to paste. If that doesn't work, choose Paste from the Edit menu. HTH, Anna --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Windows Messenger
Can somebody tell me how to use Windows Messenger on the IPhone? I put Fring on my phone thinking that would work, but I can't get back to the main list that it gave me in the beginning so I can choose messenger.
