In Itunes once you click on podcast's you have to make sure that the show items box number two is selected or you will never see the arrow that has the list so you can get all or just a few of the ringtones.

All but one have been restored, custom as well as MacMost ringtones. Only one that will not install, copy or wish over to the iphone4 is MacMost (Designer Series) MoCowbell. Any ideas why 1 out of 30 ringtones won't work? Upgrade to ios5 removed only a portion of ringtones. All but one have been restored, custom as well as MacMost ringtones.

Thanks for these ringtones, but I'm having some difficulty. I have OSX 10.5.8 w iTunes 10.5 on PPC G5 iMac. Also iPhone 4 CDMA w iOS 5. Months ago I downloaded some 23 of the ringtone files and added them to iTunes and my iPhone reasonably well enough. (Whether it was easy to do or not I don't recall if I had to do any special trick.) Yesterday, I subscribed to your Ringtone Podcast, did Get All, no problems. But so far I have not been able to get them out of the Podcast directory... and into either the iTunes or iPhone Ringtone directories. I have synced the iPhone a couple of times now and the Ringtones are seen in the Ringtone count but are stuck in the Podcast directory window. The 20 ringtones I added awhile back are all where they should be, accessible in iPhone Settings etc. But no such luck with the recently subscribed podcast ones. Any suggestions as to how to get them where they should be? Or do I just need to download them individually? Thanks in advance! Hi Gary, et al

The podcast episodes don't appear under music either. Just the way Apple wants it. Easier to use music features like shuffle without the podcast episodes in music. I guess it just caries through with podcasts not being in ringtones either. It is the same with any podcast. The podcast episodes don’t appear under music either. Just the way Apple wants it.

It's interesting that they show up on my iPhone as usable ringtones but they do not list with my other ringtones in the "Ringtones" category in iTunes (on the left side of the iTunes window, in the "Library" section). It obviously doesn't really matter, but I'm curious why this is the case. Gary- Thanks for all the ringtones! Subscribing to the podcast was a fast and easy way to get them all.

I've been using them for a year with no problem. I think the instructions are very easy. I just updated the ringtones as there were new ones I didn't have and the instructions given helped me remember how I got them to work in the first place.

No. We're only doing the iTunes podcast because of the way you can link the podcast episodes to the iPhone ringtones. That wouldn't work if you are not using iTunes at all, since it it is the only way to get the ringtones on the iPhone.
