Q: “I’m trying to add a downloaded m4r file (it’s that silly song “Getaway” from Arrested Development’s 4th season). I’ve added the song to my iTunes library, where it does show up and play. And I’ve tried to “Sync Tones” – to no avail. The tones in the iPhone’s menu are just on that menu which comes with the device, and I don’t see any area where new tracks could be added unless they’re just alphabetically inserted into the existing list (which doesn’t strike me as likely).”
