| How to Set a Song As Your Ringtone on iPhone Posted: 13 Nov 2021 12:00 AM PST This wikiHow teaches you how to create and install a custom ringtone on your iPhone using iTunes on your PC or Mac. If you're using macOS Catalina or later, you'll actually be using the Music app on your Mac to create the ringtone. You can easily create a ringtone from most music file types, including M4As and MP3s, as long as it's saved to your computer. Once you've added the song's ringtone to your iPhone, you can set it as the phone's default ringtone or as the ringtone for a specific contact. [Edit]Creating the Ringtone - Open iTunes or Apple Music on your computer. If you're using Windows or a version of macOS released prior to Catalina, click iTunes in your app list. If you're using a more recent version of macOS, open the app called Music.
- Make sure that your song is in iTunes or Apple Music. You'll need to have the actual music file you want to trim already in iTunes or Apple Music—it can't just be a streaming song or be in the cloud.[1] If you have the song as an MP3 (or another format) on your computer, just drag it into iTunes or Apple Music to add it now.
- If you see a cloud icon with a down-arrow beside it next to the song, click it to download the song.
- Find the section of the song that you want to use. Double-click the song in iTunes to play it, listen for the beginning of the section that you want to use as the ringtone and note the start time, and listen for up to 40 seconds before noting the end time.
- You can see the timestamp for the song at the top of the iTunes window when a song is playing.
- Ringtones cannot be longer than 30 seconds.
- Open the song's information. To do so in iTunes, click the three dots on the song and select Song Info. If using the Apple Music app on your Mac, click the song once, click the Song menu, and then click Info.[2].
- You can also just right-click the song and click Song Info (Windows) or Get Info (Mac) in the drop-down menu that appears.
- Click the tab. It's at the top of the information menu window.
- Check the "start" and "stop" boxes. They're both near the top of the window, just below the "media kind" section. Doing so will place checkmarks in the respective boxes, allowing you to change the start and stop time for the song.
- Enter the start and stop time. In the "start" text box, enter the time in the song at which you want the ringtone to start, then do the same with the point at which you want the ringtone to end in the "stop" box. Remember, the ringtone can be up to 30 seconds long.
- Click . It's at the bottom of the window. This will save the song's changes and exit the information menu.
- Create an AAC version of the song. Make sure that the song is selected by clicking it, then click File, select Convert in the menu, and then click Create AAC Version. A new version of the song that is the length of your ringtone will appear below the original song in iTunes or Music.
- For example, if your selected ringtone segment is 26 seconds, the new song will have "0:26" next to it instead of the full song length.
- If you don't see the Create AAC Version option, enable it by clicking the Edit (Windows) or iTunes (Mac) tab, clicking Preferences..., clicking Import Settings, clicking the "Import Using" drop-down box, and clicking AAC Encoder in the drop-down menu.
- Open the AAC file's location. Select the AAC version of the song, then click File and click Show in Windows Explorer (Windows) or Show in Finder (Mac) in the drop-down menu. This will open the file's location on your computer.
- Change the AAC file into an M4R file. This process will vary depending on whether you're using a PC or a Mac:
- Windows - Click the View tab → check the "File name extensions" box if not checked→ click the ".m4a" version of the song to select it → click the Home tab → click Rename → replace with at the end of the song and press Enter → click OK.
- Mac - Select the AAC version of the song (the "m4a" version) → click the File menu item → click Get Info in the drop-down menu → change to in the "Name & Extension" section and press → click Use m4r.
- Leave this window open for now.
[Edit]Placing the Ringtone on Your iPhone - Attach your iPhone to your computer. Plug the USB end of your iPhone's charging cable into a USB port on your computer, then plug the other end of the cable into the charging port on your iPhone.
- Open your iPhone in iTunes or Finder. If you're using iTunes, click the iPhone icon/button in the upper-left corner of iTunes to display your iPhone's contents. If you're using macOS Catalina or later, open a new Finder window by clicking the two-toned smiley face icon on the Dock, and then click your iPhone under "Locations" in the left panel.
- Drag the M4R file to your iPhone. If you're using iTunes and see a folder on your iPhone called Tones in the left panel, you can drag the file right to that folder. If you don't see this folder, just drag the file to the right panel in iTunes or Finder will transfer the file to your iPhone.
- Click . It's a white button in the bottom-right side of the iTunes window. Once your iPhone is finished syncing, you can walk away from your computer and complete the remaining steps on your iPhone.
[Edit]Setting the Ringtone - Open your iPhone's Settings . Tap the grey app with gears on it to do so.
- Scroll down and tap . It's in the same group of settings as the General option.
- On the iPhone 6S and earlier, you'll just tap Sounds here.
- Tap . This option is directly below the "SOUNDS AND VIBRATION PATTERNS" heading in the middle of the page.
- Tap your ringtone's name. In the "RINGTONES" section, tap the name of the ringtone that you want to set as your phone's default ringtone. You should see a blue checkmark appear to the left of it, signifying that your phone will use your custom ringtone for all incoming calls.
- Set your new ringtone for a specific contact. If you'd rather set the ringtone for a specific contact, do the following:
- Open the Contacts app.
- Tap a contact's name.
- Tap Ringtone
- Select the ringtone.
- Tap Done
- Make sure that your phone is set to ring audibly if you want to hear your new ringtone.
[Edit]Warnings - The "Tones" page in iTunes won't appear unless your phone is connected to your computer.

| How to Can You Put Flats in the Washing Machine Posted: 12 Nov 2021 08:00 AM PST Your flats are dirty, but is it safe to machine wash them? While you can accidentally damage shoes by cleaning them improperly, it's really easy to clean flats. In fact, you might be able to remove smells without even washing them! We're here to put your mind at ease and help you get the clean shoes you deserve. We've got all the answers to your questions about washing flats in a washing machine. [Edit]Does putting flats in the washing machine ruin them? - Not if they're canvas or pleather. In most cases, it's safe to put canvas or fake leather shoes in the washer. You don't need to worry about the water or washing machine agitator damaging the fabric or the soles. If you're not sure what material your shoe is, look for a label inside the shoe or printed on the bottom of the sole.[1]
- If your shoes have a label, check it to see if it provides washing instructions. If the label recommends hand washing, it's best to do that instead.
- Yes, if they're leather flats. Unfortunately, putting leather shoes in the washing machine can warp or crease the leather. This could permanently damage your shoes. Don't put your shoes in the washer if you know they're leather or suspect they could be. Instead, hand wash your leather flats to preserve their shape and appearance.[2][3]
- Your shoes should have the material printed along the inside or on the bottom of the sole.
- When in doubt, play it safe by handwashing your shoes.
- Suede is another material you should never put in the washing machine.[4]
[Edit]How do you machine wash flats? - Wipe away any stains, dirt, or scuffs with a damp sponge or brush. Giving your shoes a prewash scrub down is essential! Use a clean sponge or toothbrush to dry brush your shoes. Buff away any caked-on dirt or scruff marks so your shoes are as clean as possible when you put them into the washer.[5]
- A magic eraser sponge works great for this! It'll rub away all of the dirt and scuffs.
- Don't leave caked-on dirt on the shoes if you can help it. If you do, dirt can mix into the water and make the shoes dirtier.
- Put your shoes in a mesh bag or pillow case to prevent damage. Your shoes are going to be bouncing around in the washer, and a bag will protect them from damage. Use a mesh bag made for shoes or delicates. If you don't have one, a pillow case will work great. After you place your shoes inside, wrap a hair tie around the end of the pillowcase to hold it shut.[6]
- Place your shoes in the washer with at least 2 towels. The towels will cushion the shoes so they aren't bumping too hard against the sides of the washer drum. They'll also minimize the noise while your shoes are washing. Distribute the towels so that the shoes are surrounded by them.[7]
- The towels can also help prevent your washer from becoming unbalanced during the spin cycle. If you wash the shoes alone, they can end up on the same side of the washer drum, which can make the washer lose balance.
- Use cool water and the gentle cycle to prevent damage. Even if it's safe to wash the shoes, you still need to be careful so your shoes look great after the wash. Set the washer to the gentle cycle because it's less likely to damage the shoes. Then, set the water temperature to cool, as hot water can melt the glue holding the shoes together.[8]
- If your shoes are soapy after you wash them, run them through an extra rinse cycle.
[Edit]How do I hand wash my flats? - Wipe the outside of the shoe with a cloth or toothbrush. You can get rid of a lot of grime without even wetting your shoes. Before you wash your shoes, clean off any dirt or scuffs. Use a clean cloth or toothbrush to lightly scrub the upper part of the shoe and the soles of your shoes. Get your shoes as clean as you can without water.[9]
- Scrub the inside and outside of the shoes with soapy water. Mix dish detergent or mild laundry soap into a bowl of warm water. Then, dip a clean cloth or toothbrush into the soapy water and use it to gently scrub all of the surfaces of your shoe. Make sure you do the inside as well as the outside to get rid of any smells.[10]
- Re-dip the cloth or toothbrush into the soapy water as needed while you scrub the shoes.
- Rinse the shoes in clean water. You're almost done! Once your shoes are clean, run a trickle of clean water over them to wash away the soap. Remember to rinse both the inside and outside of your shoes.[11]
- If you're worried about rinsing your shoes, soak a clean cloth in water and wipe away the soapy water.
[Edit]How do you dry flat shoes? - Stuff your shoes with newspaper or paper towels to soak up moisture. It can take a while to dry your shoes, but this will help speed up the process. Paper absorbs moisture inside your shoes, which helps them dry faster. Wad up the paper and push it into the toe area. Keep adding paper until you fill up the shoes.[12]
- If you don't have newspaper, any paper will work.
- Place the shoes in a well-ventilated area. Pick a spot where air circulates, like the middle of a room, near a fan, or near a window. This will help your shoes dry faster. Leave your shoes out to dry.[13]
- For example, you might set them on your kitchen table or on a window sill. Don't put them in a closet, since the air doesn't circulate there.
- Allow your shoes to air dry until they feel dry to the touch. You're probably wondering how long you'll have to wait before you can wear your shoes. Most flats will dry within 24 hours after you wash them. Feel the shoes to see if they're dry. Remove the paper and touch the insole to make sure the inside of the shoe is dry.[14]
- Point a fan at your shoes to help them dry faster.
[Edit]Is it okay to put shoes in a dryer? - No, the dryer can actually damage them. Just skip the dryer! The heat from your dryer can melt the glue holding your shoes together. Additionally, the heat could warp or shrink the fabric. Play it safe by air drying your shoes.[15]
[Edit]How do I remove bad smells from my flats? - Sprinkle baking soda inside your shoes and let it sit overnight. Baking soda absorbs odors and moisture, so it can help you banish shoe odor! Simply pour baking soda over your insole, then place your shoes where they won't be disturbed. In the morning, pour the baking soda into the trash.[16]
- Salt and cat litter also work as deodorizers.[17]
- If you want to add a pleasant scent, add a few drops of essential oil onto the baking soda, salt, or cat litter.
- Stuff newspaper into your shoes and let them sit overnight. Newspaper also absorbs moisture and can help get rid of odors. Loosely wad up the newspaper and put it into the shoes. Leave the newspaper in your shoes overnight to get rid of the smell.[18]
- Sprinkle a few drops of vanilla or essential oil onto the newspaper first if you want to add a pleasant scent to your shoes.
- Pull out the insoles and machine wash them. If your insoles are removable, try washing them with a load of laundry. Pinch the edge of your insole and gently pull up to dislodge it from the bottom of your shoes. After they're finished washing, set out the insoles and allow them to air dry. This should get rid of your shoe odor.[19]
- Don't try to pry up the insoles if they're not easy to pull up. It's possible they're glued down.
- Prevent smelly shoes by allowing at least 24 hours between wears for your shoes to dry. This can limit the growth of smelly bacteria in your shoes.[20]
[Edit]Warnings - Flats are often held together by glue. Hot temperatures can melt glue, so avoid using hot water and don't put them in the dryer.
