A. First you MUST have GarageBand version 4.1.1 (and later), as well as iTunes version 7.5 or later and iPhone software version 1.1.2 or later.

To export the ringtone use the Cycle function to Export the Exact Length you desire, this can be no longer then 40 seconds. Once the length has been defined, Choose "Send Ringtone To iTunes" from the Share menu.

GarageBand 5 (09) (And Later) offers several templates and example ringtones which can be accessed by chooseing the iPhone Ringtone option in the New Project window when GarageBand starts up. Additionally you can pick the Acoustic Instrument choice, which works best if you intend to drop an AIFF/Mp3/AAC file into the project. After that, the procedure is identical to that of GarageBad 4 (08)
