I assume this still works - for ringtones only. Forget about message tones - what you've got is what you're getting.

I've got as far as converting it from a m4a to a m4r but can't see where I need to click to convert it. Help.
(Have got windows7 if that makes a difference)

You convert it before renaming it (right click in itunes -> convert to AAC).
Once you rename it to M4R, just drag it into the library and it will show in the "Ringtones" section on the left.

I can convert it to aac, it's changing it from m4a that I can't seem to work out

Simply rename it from m4a to m4r

(If you can't see file extensions, go to My Documents -> Tools -> Options and it's in their somewhere)

I cant for the life of me see where to "simply rename it"

And windows7 doesnt have my documents, it has documents but then theres no tools option. If I right click and click on rename it just lets me rename the actual song, not the file type.

When you're in the folder with the file, click on Organise in the top left, then click on Folder and Search Options. Click the View tab, then deselect the option that's called Hide Extensions for Known File Types. Click OK to go back to your folder. You should now see the file extension (.m4a), and when you right-click and go to rename, you should be able to change the file extension to .m4r

Davey, I love you!

Well I did, i've converted it, but now it won't appear in itunes as a 30 second clip, I have the full length one but not the one i've edited. Grrr! Might just give up!

Edit! Scrap that, done it!

if anyone paid for a bumper already, you'll get an automatic refund to the card you paid with.

AND you can claim a free one, there's an iphone app or you can do it on the apple website somewhere.

I have to say I have had a few issues with lack of signal, I used to be able to sit at my desk in work and ring people no problem, but the iphone doesn't seem to like being inside and only works if I go and stand outside the main door now. I can hear people, they don't seem to be able to hear me, and I am being very careful not to cover the bit at the bottom when I hold the phone.

Also it gets bloody hot underneath if i've been using it continuously for more than a few minutes.
