Thanks to Brad and Robert for these instructions! I did get the ringtone moved over just fine. Reminds me of the time I wanted to organize favorites in the Mail program where I had to do the same kind of drag and rop.

After creating your ringtone, follow these steps to add it to your iPhone from a Mac running Catalina or newer version of macOS: 1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac with the USB charging cable. 2. On your Mac, open a Finder window to the folder location where the custom ring-tone resides. 3. Open a second Finder window )or tab), where you can select your iPhone from the Sidebar. 4. Return to the Finder window where the custom ringtone resides. 5. Interact with the table or browser, and using VO, navigate to the ringtone you wish to move to the iOS device. 6. Once you are at the tone, press VO + CMD + f5, to route the mouse to the location of the VO cursor. Note: Depending on your keyboard preferences, you may need to include the fn key in order for the F-keys to perform as normal F-keys. 7. Press VO + CMD + Shift + SpaceBar to invoke the mouse-down action. 8. Navigate to the iPhone window. 9. Navigate to the item that announces the name of your iPhone, how much space is used and its charge level. On mine, it's the item that's one VO +-right, after the edit field with my iPhone name in it. 10. Press VO + CMD + Shift + f5, to route the mouse to the location of the VO cursor. 11. Press VO + CMD + Shift + SpaceBar to toggle the mouse-up action. This drops the tone and will immediately copy it to your iPhone. It will show up in the tones section of Sounds & Haptics for your use.

The phone is a 3rd Generation iPhone SE running iOS 16.4, and my Mac is running Monterey. I can locate the M4R file in Finder, but my problem is I can’t seem to move this file onto my iPhone. Instructions I’ve found say that you have to drag the file to what they call a “sync” window that’s supposed to be somewhere in the General section of my iPhone properties. I can’t find it. Has anyone out there successfully created a ring tone from an MP3 file and gotten it onto their iPhone?
