Hi Simon,
Apple Mail does allow for this. The problem is that Petrus is hoping to use
purchased ring-tones. Home-made ring-tones and other sound files in AIFF or
m4a format are fine as inco

If it was music, then it's easy. Tones are a different animal as they are not
managed within the Music app or iTunes anymore. I believe that it would be an

I want them on my Mac Book because I don’t like the alert tones options that

Thanks Robert. That is helpful that they can also be m4a audio files.

Hi,
You can use m4a as well as .aiff files.
I recorded a short demo showing how easy it is if you have the files already on
your Mac. I don’t purchase tones from Apple, so I can’t tell you how to get
them off the phone and onto the Mac.
Download the demo below:

Hi,
Sorry for making your life difficult. The thing is that different apps use
different formats by default. Messages and FaceTime on your Mac usually use
m4r alert-tones or ring-tones whereas Mail uses and alert sound. hence the
different formats.

Hi Petrus,
Nope. The ring-tones are m4r format whereas the alert-tones on the Mac are
AIFF. If these are tones that you've purchased, then it will be a little more
challenging to make into an AiFF audio file, but not normally impossible.
