This does not work for me. Jailbreak fails each time. Maybe it’s the new 1.0.2 update?

Why can’t they ever make PPC versions of these things? Is it so hard to compile? Is there some technical reason why a PPC version cannot be made?

I activated my iPhone on a Mac. Tried the Mac version to load ringtones but keep getting stuck. Can I use the PC version “iPhone Ring Tone Maker” to load the ringtone? I actually did try that out and it sent the ringtone to the phone but after I turn off and restart the ringtone does not show up.

Any suggestions?

ifuntastic works fine. you do not need to make m4a’s mp3′s work fine on the phone.

I got it to work a few times by following the directions above. It took me a few tries before I got it to work. I start holding down the menu/lock buttons about ten seconds before I click unlock(while still holding the two buttons), it seems to help. If it freezes for more than a few minutes, kill the jailbreak process and start again. If it fails the phone makes a weird noise, so that might help you realize if it is frozen or if it failed.

Another thing I found is that iTunes is capable of converting music files to m4a format. You need to go to your advanced settings and change the importing setting to AAC Encoder. I suppose you can use Quicktime to chop music files into reasonable lengths and save them as a WAV and convert that WAV into m4a.

If anyone has an easier way of converting songs into m4a, please let me know, this is the first way I found.

Awesome! Just.. follow the direction and everything works fine. The hardest part is picking a song to use and tearing it apart in garageband till it actually sounds like a ringtone. Some songs I thought would work great, I just can’t choose a decent starting/ending point.

Once again I find myself wishing I was a Mac inlieu of it’s ugly cousin. Does anyone know when ‘IFuntastic’ will be available to us IBM folks?

Please do not advise to buy a Mac as I would if I could….
