If you don't remove it before renaming it and then re-import it, iTunes won't really recognize it as a ringtone.........give that a try and post back your results. Good luck! @Ramon - Thanks so much for posting what you found…I will definitely check it out!

I think it's on page 2. Just read the thread. My only problem is, i don't have an internet access on my iphone so i can't open cydia. I will just wait for the next iphone upgrade, probably they will allow to change message alert tones without internet access just like the customized ringtones.

Mac recognized it is a ring tone file but when I double click and play it. It doesn't flow into ring tone page where "Ringtone" on the left hand panel was empty. It plays from the Music Library. Please help. Thanks, Rachel Hi,

On using ringtones as message alerts, I don't know of a way to do that yet - today is the day I upgrade my iPhone to the new 3GS, so I intend to play around with it to see what can be done. If yours is unlocked & jailbroke, then perhaps there is some 3rd party app that would do that for you.....good luck! If you find one I'd love to know about it. @Ramon - glad you got it worked out!

Since I'm a Mac user it's hard for me to know what you see in the Vista version of iTunes, but in mine there are three buttons in the upper right corner next to the search box - one with lines (list view), one with two rows of squares (thumbnail view) and one with a square with vertical lines on both sides, which is cover flow view. Just click on the buttons to see the different views. On your song that you want to convert, once you have the start/stop times set, and you have it selected (highlighted) then the Convert is in the Advanced menu at the top. Note that the format it converts to is now - with all iTunes versions at 8.0 & above - controlled by the format you set for importing in the preferences - so you may have to change that in your settings first to be able to convert to AAC.

On the library under music, how come all the songs are in square box & not in lined showing the title, the artist & etc. And the background is black. Is this the new version? When i right click a box to create a ringtone, get info. & i can still do the start time & stop time. But after that when i right click the song again, there's no selection where i can "convert selection to AAC". Do i need to connect my iphone while doing this step? Please help me !!!

A very slow double-click lets you edit a name, a fast double-click opens the file. Try just right-clicking on the file and choose "Rename" - hopefully that will help.....if not post back and we'll go from there. Hi Stewart - sounds like a double-click problem maybe?
