Iphone ringtone catalina ทำย งไง

'Create ringtone' part for Catalina (and older macos versions as well) is pretty simple and straightforward if you are comfortable with terminal.

MacOs comes with built-in afconvert. For example, to convert mp3 file 'mysound.mp3' to ringtone (.m4r file) mysoundringtone.m4r:

afconvert -f m4af -d aac mysound.mp3 mysoundringtone.m4r

Need to be in same directory with source file or pass path along with filename(s).

'Upload part': one can connect iPhone to computer and drag-and-drop ringtone file to iTunes while it's on iPhone 'General' tab. After that locate newly created ringtone on iPhone in Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone (above built-in ringtones, separated by line).

For Mac users trying to copy ringtones to their iPhone using a modern macOS release like Monterey, Big Sur, or Catalina, you’ll find it’s quite simple to do so, and a return to old habits.

Basically, all you need to do is drag and drop the ringtone file from the Mac file system to the iPhone, just like how iTunes used to work too. Of course that changed with later iTunes versions, and for Mojave and High Sierra users with iTunes they often find they can’t drag a ringtone to iPhone within iTunes, instead that process requires a copy and paste method.

But again, it’s as easy as drag and drop in macOS Monterey, macOS Big Sur, and MacOS Catalina, but let’s cover exactly how this is done.

How to Copy Ringtones to iPhone from Mac with Finder

For MacOS Monterey, Big Sur, and Catalina, copying and transferring ringtones over to iPhone is quite simple, here’s all you need to do:

1. Connect the iPhone to the Mac as usual
2. Select the iPhone from the Finder in MacOS
3. Locate the .m4r ringtone file in the file system, then drag and drop it into the iPhone “Sync” window within Finder
4. The m4r ringtone file will copy to the iPhone from the Mac file system

Once the iPhone has the ringtone file copied to it, it will be available for use within the Contacts app as usual. You can select it as a general ringtone, assign it to a particular contact, use it as a text tone or custom ringtone, or whatever else you wish to do.

This is necessary for the most modern versions of macOS, including macOS Monterey, Big Sur, and Catalina.

Finder Not Working? Copy the Ringtone to iPhone via Music App Instead

If the Finder transfer method doesn’t work to bring the ringtone to the iPhone from the Mac, you can also try dragging the m4r ringtone file to the iPhone into the Music app.

1. Connect the iPhone to the Mac
2. Launch the Music app on MacOS and make sure iPhone is seen and available in Music
3. Drag and drop the m4r ringtone file into the iPhone via Music app
4. Wait a moment and the ringtone will sync to the iPhone

Once the m4r ringtone file is synced over you can access it on iPhone for using with contacts as usual.

For longtime Mac users, they may recall the same drag and drop simplicity existed for a long time with iTunes as well, but that changed for whatever reason with later versions of iTunes software, which led to some frustration as users couldn’t get a ringtone over to their iPhone with iTunes any longer without learning the modified copy and paste method instead.

If you’re so inclined, you can also create ringtones directly on iPhone with Garageband (or make them in Garageband on the Mac and copy them over as directed above), and
set songs as ringtones on iPhone using GarageBand too.

You can even turn voice recordings into ringtones and copy those over to your iPhone as well, so if you have a favorite audio clip of someone saying a phrase, talking, yelling, hooting, hollering, being goofy, or being themselves, that offers yet another way to customize your ringtone experience. And if you have other audio files laying around, you can easily convert audio files to ringtone files on the Mac using QuickTime as discussed here, which can be handy for exporting audio tracks or even audio from video to use as a ringtone.

If copying your own ringtones isn’t your thing, and you don’t feel like making your own, you can also just buy ringtones from Apple, which are typically clips from songs.
