Doesn't the ring tone file need the .M4R extension before it will go to
the proper place on a phone?

Hi,
I'm pasting the text of a document Mark Taylor wrote a while back
below on getting Ringtones onto your phone.
Music should still sync the way it always had, though if you insure
you have wi-fi on, I've noticed when I add new things to iTunes, they
magically appear on my iPhone in a relatively short time. But, I also
do a backup to the computer just in case as I have a ton of music and
don't want to lose it.
Here is the Ringtone instructions. Read through them before taking
any action.
Here is mark Taylor's instructions on copying Ringtones with iTunes
12.7 and later.
In iTunes 12.7 (or later) for Windows, it is no longer necessary to
actually use the file menu to import ringtones. In fact,
attempting to do so will gain you nothing. (smile). So, to add a
ringtone to your device, using Windows Explorer, copy the file, or
files, to memory using the
standard windows command of Control+C.
Next, with iTunes 12.7 in focus, your iOS device attached to your PC
and selected, using standard jaws navigation commands, place focus on
the Tones
tab, located in the iTunes Sidebar. Oh, make sure that you have
iTunes set to display the Sidebar.
Now, once you have the Tones tab selected, press the Tab key on your
keyboard until you land in the list view of currently installed custom
ringtones. Then, simply use the paste command, Control+V, to add the
ringtone to your device.
By the way, you will notice that, as you tab around the tones area,
you will land on an actions button. You can use this button to act on
the currently
selected ringtone, such as playing it.
To delete a ringtone, you must place focus on the particular ringtone
you wish to remove from your device, and press the delete key.
Neither the
Application button nore the Jaws right-mouse click will work, at this
time.
Even the Actions button will not offer a delete choice. The only way
to remove the ringtone, at the time of this writing is to either press the
Delete key on the keyboard, or press the right mouse button on your
mouse and/or touch pad.

iTunes still works but is not preferred.
It does not work for ringtones the way it used to.
I'll dig up a document about that which is on my computer in the morning.
I still use iTunes for music. Logitech makes great bluetooth
keyboards. Lots of folks like the k380.
I have a larhe ergonomic keyboard I use for my laptop and my iPhone at
times, which is made by logitech, and I have there k480, but it is
over sized but I had gotten it before I realized there was the k380.

have my own music and ringtones but since Apple doesn't have

how to I get them on my new phone.
The second question is what is the best Bluetooth keyboard to
purchase. I
have one but it is starting not to work as it is old so I'm just
wondering
what is out there that is easy to work and navigate.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
