A lot of iPhone users have problem syncing iPhone ringtones. Some questions are like "I can't sync ringtone to iPhone", "unable to sync ringtone to iPhone" and so on.

Some are more detailed, such as:
"it shows up as a ringtone in iTunes, but it won't sync to the phone. I've restarted my phone several times, hoping that would do it. I've removed all my ringtones, then re-synced them...but still nothing."

"I have ringtones in ringtone folder yes have changed to m4r, can play ringtones on pc and all are under 30 seconds long, have tried syncing ringtones but can only manage to get one on my phone."

Well, if you ever encounter this kind of problems, the following methods will help you solve the problem of syncing ringtone to iPhone on Mac.

First, ask yourself the following questions:
You sync iPhone Ringtone?
Ringtones play in iTunes?
They do not show up under sounds?
They show up under the ringtones tab?
They are in the ringtone section of iTunes under library?

Second, if the ringtone is in iTunes and not appearing on your iPhone after a successful sync, make sure that none of the song fields (song name, artist, composer, etc) have special characters (like quotes, for example iPhone-Ringtone the"-" will cause the syncing problem).

Third. The Length of your ringtone. Although they show up in the ringtones on your iPhone in iTunes after successfully syncing to your iPhone, they will not appear in the custom ringtones section on your iPhone if they are longer than 30 seconds.

P.S. For Mac users, if the problem still exists, you can then use iPhone Ringtone Maker for Mac, which has a Ringtone Manager, to sync iPhone ringtone on Mac and make, manage your ringtones skipping using iTunes.


Ringtone Manager has 2 lists. All the ringtone files in the left list are those saved in your iTunes, and those in right one are your iPhone ringtones. Highlight any ringtone you need in any list, you can then transfer it between iTunes and iPhone. You can also delete or pre-listen to the ringtones. So, all the sync or transfer iPhone Ringtone work can be done skipping using iTunes and also your problem can be solved.
