I have gotten to step #14 Drag and Drop from Desktop into iTunes, but the file will not drop into iTunes. It keeps going back onto the desktop.

Thanks for taking the time for making this tutorial, really appreciated. I used to convert YouTube video to mp3 for my iPhone with Acethinker video keeper, free and works fairly well. Share it here as an alternative solution.

I can't find the "show in finder" option. I'm using windows if that's any help.

Thank you for your useful information. Mp3 converter and itunes both work to convert youtube video to ringtone. but i ve found a more easy to do it. you can use WonderFox Free HD Video Converter Factory to download youtube videos and convert them directly to iphone ringtone or andriod ringtone on the formats interface. it is very easy to handle, you can have a try.

Clever idea. I never thought about this. There are a lot of fun video clips that I can think of that would make great ringtones.
