Can I use my music in iTunes as ringtones for certain contacts?

I have the iphone5 and I can't see where I can use my iTunes music as ringtones for contacts. Is this possible or do I need to get an app to do that? Also does anyone know of a good ringtone app that you can use your music from iTunes? I already downloaded a ringtone maker but I have the new iTunes and I could not get it to work!! Thanks...

1. In your Music library, select a song you want to convert to ringtone
2. Right-click on the song and select “Get Info” to view the song properties.
3. Select “Options” tab. Fill in the “Start time” and “Stop time” to extract the portion of song you want to create as ringtone. From what I know, the length of custom ringtone should not be longer than 40 seconds. Otherwise, iTunes will not recognize it as a ringtone. When you are ready, click “OK” to confirm.
4.Next, right-click on the song and select “Create ACC Version”.
5. iTunes then automatically extracts the portion of song you have instructed in the previous step. The new song file is just 40-sec in length. This is the song file you’ll work on from step 6 and onwards.
6. Next, right-click on the song and select “Show in Finder”. This opens up Finder and locate the song file you just created.
Note: For Windows user, you should choose “Show in Windows Explorer” instead.
7. As you can reveal from Finder, the song file is in .m4a extension and we’ll change it to “.m4r”, which is the file extension for tones. Rename the file extension from “.m4a” to “.m4r”. For Mac users, select “Use .m4r” when prompted.
8. Go back to iTunes. Right-click on the song you have created (i.e. the 40 sec version) and select “Delete” to delete the song.Click “Delete Song” to confirm the deletion and then click “Keep File” when you?re prompted. This tells iTunes to delete the song (the 40 sec version) from music library and keep the actual file.
9.
Go back to Finder and double-click on the ringtone file (.m4r) you have just renamed.
11. The ringtone will automatically add it to the “Tones” library in iTunes. You can now sync it to iPhone as a ringtone or text tone. Enjoy!

    Are you talking about using iTunes music for a slide show?  If so you need to go to iTunes, file, library, reorganize files and then it will work.

  • How to use purchased music from itunes as ringtone

    Trying to use music from my songs as ringtones, could do it on 4 don't know how to do it on 5s.  Does anyone know?  Please help..

    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (4.6), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    Get the latest updates here.
    If you have done all this and still can't transfer it, post back with more info about what is happening.
    EDIT.
    Grrrr......must learn to type faster!

  • How can i use my music in itunes to make ringtone for iphone4s

    Hi just got iphone 4s and would like to make some of my music as a ringtone but dont know who to do it , can anyone help me please

    Before you start, first go to iTunes top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
    1. Right click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info” 
    2. Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK 
    3. Right mouse click the music again and choose “Create AAC Version” 
    4. You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a. 
    5. Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop 
    6. Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file). 
    7. *Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length. 
    8. Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library 
    9. Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
    Once you have the ringtones in Tones library, you may sync it to your device.  Connect and select your iPhone on iTunes left Pane, then on right go to Tones tab and make sure SYNC Tones is checked and click the APPLY or SYNC button on the lower right window.

  • Updated iPhoto could no longer use the music from iTunes library for slideshow

    Anybody checked if you can still use your music from iTunes library for slideshows?
    After updating both iPhoto and iTunes to the latest version in Mavericks, all music links in the iPhoto's slideshows became invalid. Tried even to re-establish the music links, but it seems like the iPhoto would not play any music from the iTunes library. Only the sample music from iPhoto is usable. The iTunes works fine by the way.
    Thanks a lot!

    I think I found a workaround that seemed to correct the problem. In iTunes, go to the File menu and choose Library. Then select Organize Library. Next choose Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media".  Click OK.

  • Can I use IOBIT to remove ITUNES?

         I have followed every suggestion, work around etc. to uninstall Itunes on my computer. Nothing works. Since all of my music is backed up, in mutiple places, I am ready to just erase Itunes from my computer and start again. Again, Windows Uninstall or repair do not work. So my question is "Can I use Iobit to uninstall Itunes without some type of serious damage"?

    I suggest if you have MacKeeper install, that your first move be to uninstall it.

    Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
    Just go to iTunes Preferences.  Click on the General icon.  Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD.  Click on Import Settings.  Set Import to MP3 decoder.  Make sure you're using Good Quality.
    This should deal with your CD's.
    With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version. 

  • How can I use stored music on my iphone 6 as a ringtone?

    How can I use stored music on my iphone 6 as a ringtone?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

  • Is this the only tablet that can use iTunes? Or can you use Android Tablets with iTunes?

    I'm looking into buying a tablet... But can i get my music from iTunes onto different tablets like the android 2.2...? Or just iPads? Can someone please help?! I'm going black friday shopping soon...!

    Nope, I personally do not like android.
    I find it to be annoying in a lot of little ways.
    I have used both a phone(galaxy s) and have a cheap tablet(archos 70).
    The only reason to get an android device is if you can not live without being able to fiddle with 100's of different settings, widgets, screen animations, etc to totally customize the device or you cannot afford an iPad and will accept one of the cheaper tablets realizing you are getting a pretty poor substitute.
    In the case of cheap tablet-Nook Color tablet is probably best choice. In another month or so xda will crack it and have some really good ROMs for it.

  • Can I use more than one iTunes account on my apple TV

    We just purchased our AppleTV and my wife wanted to use her Mac and her iTunes account to listen to music when I am at work. I setup the AppleTV using my iTunes account. Can I use more than one iTunes account on my apple TV?

    You can have both libraries available to the Apple TV at the same time. As I say the key is understanding your iTunes account ID and your homesharing ID are different things (although there is nothing stopping you using one of your iTunes account ID's as the homesharing ID - I do that)
    You need to make sure that the ID and password you use on both libraries and the Apple TV are all the same.
    Also, no need to apologise, the wrong thing to do is not ask and suffer in silence.

  • I can only listen to music in iTunes when i'm connected to the internet. Everything seems to have uploaded onto iCloud - something I didn't sign up for. Happened with the latest iTunes update. Help!

    I can only listen to music in iTunes when i'm connected to the internet. Everything seems to have uploaded onto iCloud - something I didn't sign up for. Happened with the latest iTunes update.
    All of the music is still on my computer, but when I play it through iTunes, it either buffers first (when I'm connected to the internet) or it is greyed out (offline) and I can't listen to it.
    This is beyond annoying. Is there anything I can do to sort this out?
    Cheers.
