Hi Marlaina, Try this:
1. Copy all the new ringtones into a single folder on your Desktop called whatever you'd like. 2. Open itunes. 3. Press cmd-o to bring up the Add to Library dialog. 4. Press cmd-2 to make sure things are in List mode in the dialog. 5. Press cmd-shift-d to bring focus to the Desktop in the File Table. 6. Navigate to the File Table and Interact With it. 7. From within the File Table, locate the folder you put the ringtones in. 8. Stop Interacting With the File Table. 9. Navigate to the Open button and press it. This should place them into the iTunes Library and automatically put them into the correct category. Let me know how it goes. Later...
