    Gary,

    Thank you for all your tips. I find them very useful.

    Gary, I have a train whistle that I recorded on "voice memos" on my iPhone five, I would like to use this as a ring tone. Is there a way I can do this?

    Thanks again,

    Jim

      Did you try using GarageBand for iOS to do this? Not sure if it supports importing recorded voice memos, but try. If not, then simply sync the voice memos to your Mac and use GarageBand there to create the Ringtone from it.

    Gary, once again, much thanks for your tip. Related to this video, I have a question. Can I create a Ringtone on GarageBand on iPhone/iMac, and send it to another iPhone **without** GarageBand, with that user importing it in as a Ringtone?

    Thanks and regards.

      I can't see any way to do this. The only way to email it is to Share it from GarageBand. Then it arrives as a song, not a ringtone. And that song can only be played, it can't be imported into either the Music app or GarageBand.

        Much thanks again for your quick reply, Gary. Guess it can't be done huh? :-(

        Regards.

    Man... You are still giving amazing info on the platform and devices I love! I tried to share your post on my Twitter account from my iPad, but when the got to the verification Captcha screen I had to go 9 times, failing every time. Trying to spread the word. Don't bad Twitter doesn't trust me, with my account.
