Option to share ringtone is missing I created a project on my Mac and shared it as a “GarageBand for iOS” but when I open the project on my iPad or iPhone I’m missing the share button in step three below. Any ideas? Export the project as a ringtone 1.) Open GarageBand on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. 2.) In the My Songs browser, tap Browse , tap Select, then tap the project you shared from your Mac. 3.) Tap , then tap Ringtone. 4.) Enter a name for the ringtone, then tap Export. If the ringtone is longer than 30 seconds, tap Continue to have GarageBand shorten the ringtone automatically. Or, tap Cancel to return to the song so you can shorten it. 5.) Tap Export. 6.) When the ringtone is finished exporting, you can assign the ringtone. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Ringtone transfer issue from macOS Sequoia 15.2 to iPhone MacBook Pro M2 running macOS Sequoia 15.2 is connected to an iPhone. Both Finder and Music do not provide a ringtone category when connected to an iPhone. So there is no place for the ringtone to go when you try to drop a ringtone on Finder or Music. Nothing happens, so the ringtone does not show up in the Sounds & Haptics area of the iPhone. Thus you can't download a new created ringtone to an iPhone with macOS Sequoia 15.2.

'Sharing' / Exporting GarageBand file as a ringtone. I'm attempting to make a ringtone for my iPhone 14 - but I've been unable to share the file as a ringtone. As instructed by a youtube video, I moved an mp3 file into GarageBand and saved it - then I'm apparently supposed to go back to "My Songs", haptic press on the file, select "Share", and share it as a ringtone. This all goes according to plan until I press "Ringtone". When I do this the app says "Exporting as Ringtone..." but then quickly pops up with the window saying "Song cannot be exported - A song can only be exported if it contains a recording of a Touch Instrument or a Live Loops performance to Tracks view." Even accepting the fact that this may be the case - when I add another actual live loop to the song, it still comes up with the same message. Help! - Quinn

They will need to be converted to the M4R format to be able to use them as ringtones. I think they also need to be trimmed down to 30 seconds or less. You should be ablexto doxthis in Garage Band.
