Song ringtones for iPhones!

PLEASE Apple, make an update where you can use songs from your phone library as your ringtones. I have been with Apple phones since their release and am still going strong with an iPhone 5s, all features on this phone are perfect, apart from the fact that I have been waiting for that update since day one. This would really be great for alot of iPhone users.

We are all users like you. You are not addressing Apple here.
You have been able to create ringtones from your songs for many years.

Can't create Ringtone for iPhone

everytime I click on the ringtone symbol next to the song I want, it says that I need to accept the iTunes Store Terms of Service and that by clicking 'OK' it will direct me to that. Thing is, I've already accepted that and when I click OK, it does nothing. It's becoming a real pain..any ideas?

I sent iTunes support a note about that and although they didn't answer my question directly, they got me around it. For what's worth, it did work; however, now I have a new problem. Long story short, don't create more than one ring tone for now. I'll post my crap about that momentarily...
Here's what they wrote:
First I want you to try to create a ringtone with the following steps:
1) If you haven't already, upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, which is available free of charge on the iTunes website:
http://www.itunes.com/download
2) Open iTunes, access the iTunes Store, and look at a few songs. A bell icon next to a song indicates that you can make a ringtone from the song. The bell icon does not mean that the song itself is a ringtone. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK. A ringtone column will appear and any eligible songs will have bells next to them. Purchase any ringtone-eligible song you like.
3) Now click Purchased in the list on the left. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK.
4) Click the bell next to a song to begin making a ringtone. The ringtone editor will appear at the bottom of the iTunes window.
5) Adjust the highlighted area to choose the part of the song (up to 30 seconds) you want to use as your ringtone. You can also choose to fade in or out the audio by clicking the checkboxes in the highlighted area.
6) Select a "Looping" length, which will set the gap between each ring. Click Preview to hear your ringtone before purchasing. Once you're satisfied with your ringtone, click Buy. Your iTunes Store account will be charged 99 cents plus any applicable taxes. Any song credits or video credits that may be on your account will not be used toward the purchase.
7) Your ringtone will appear in your iTunes library Ringtones playlist on the left side of the iTunes window.
8) To sync the ringtone to your iPhone, connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone on the left and click Sync. iTunes will automatically sync any ringtones you create. To sync specific ringtones, with the iPhone selected on the left, click the Ringtones tab, choose Selected ringtones, and click Apply. Check the ringtones you want to sync and click Sync.
Please note that any ringtones you have previously synced to your iPhone will be replaced with the ringtones that you are currently syncing from your authorized iTunes library.
To set a ringtone as your default ringtone, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the Settings icon, then tap Sounds. Tap Ringtone, then choose a ringtone. This will become your default ringtone.
To assign a ringtone to a specific contact, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the the Phone icon, then go to your Contacts. Choose a contact, then tap Ringtone and choose the ringtone. When that contact calls, you will hear that ringtone.
Please note that iTunes creates ringtones for iPhone only, and the ringtones you create with your iTunes Store account may not be transferred to other accounts. Also note that even if you create a ringtone from iTunes Plus (DRM-free) content, the purchased ringtone will include DRM-protection.

Ringtones for Iphone 4

can't find the duplicate version of my shortened song for the ringtone. It used to work for Iphone 3, I don't know what happened. My import settings are set for AAC, I don't know what's wrong. How can I get those settings back? When I click "convert to AAC version" , I can hear the little chime that lets me know the conversion was happening, but it doesn't show the song under the regular song after it's done converting. Any information will be appreciated, thanks.

You know, you can create ringtones for iPhone in iTunes. I can't seem to find my duplicate version of the song (the song in so many seconds ). They tell you to do the AAC conversion and click okay and you should see a duplicate of the song underneath. If you look up "How to make ringtones for iphone" in google, you'll understand what I'm saying. It's fairly easy. I just can't find my converted version.

Creating ringtone for iphone

Hello,
I created a ringtone for an iphone and cannot get it to the ringtones on the phone. IF this is a Garageband issue can someone please help?
I created the file and saved to my desktop. (The phone I want the ringtone on is not my phone so I could not "share" with my itunes) I was able to send this file to the person that needs it and was able to download to their itunes. I then was able to move it to the iphone ringtones on the phone when it is sync'd to itunes. But, when I go looking for it on the phone, I can only find it on the ipod part of phone.
Did i do something wrong in Garageband or do I need to take this to iphone forum?
Thanks
Jim

You don't need to move it to the iphone ringtones , you can directly Click "Share" on the menu bar and select "Send Ringtone to iTunes".

Ringtone for iphone takes place of song

(First off please move this topic to appropriate thread as couldn't post in issues.) I want to listen to 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica however can only listen to a 21 second segment of the song, the chorus. This is the same segment I have recently saved as a ringtone on iTunes so can use as a ringtone for my iPhone. The whole album of Metallica is on spotfiy and works properly (apart from enter sandman) so of course Metallica is not the problem. The problem is spotify is choosing to play my rightone over the song on spotifys database that we normally stream, if thats how spotify works. How can I get spotify to play the proper, full 5:32 version? If this is a problem specific to my computer settings what do I need to change? Or is this a general problem with spotify? Maybe it is significant to note that the ringtones are saved with the same properties as the original songs (eg. artist, track name etc.) The main distinction being the difference in length of song in document, as well as instead of being saved as mp3 they are .m4r. This is the type of file a iPhone ringtone needs to be. Cheers for your help.

I have about 20 ringtones saved on my PC. AC/DC do not have any songs on Spotify however I have a lot of them saved on my local files. I have a 29 second rightone for 'Rock or Bust' off the new album Rock or Bust. Unlike the other songs displayed in my local files of that album this song is greyed out, not the full length - of course only 29 seconds. The other songs all work fine, are white and so hyperlink to a page for the album, artist etc. depending on what I click on. This is a different scenario to the Metallica ones because I have the full AC/DC album saved on my PC whereas I did not for the Metallica ones. I have also changed my prefences so spotify does not include local files from windows. This has not solved the problem, despite the ringtones being saved as normal files in windows. To be sure of correct terminology by windowns I mean the normal place documents are saved on Microsoft Vista. This was unlikely to help however as the ringtone files do not appear in my spotify local files anyway.

All depends on how many people are accessing Apple's servers. You'll find slow downs in the next few days at least. Everyone is updating. Personally, I don't do the download and install in iTunes. I just download the new iOS on to my computer. Then once that's done, I'll do the update directly from my computer using the ispw file I just downloaded. Much faster, no worries of server crashes while updating.

Can't use downloaded ringtone for iphone!

I downloaded and paid for a ringtone off of itunes on my iphone but i can't seem to make it useable as a ringtone, it is only in my itunes library. How do i use it as a ringtone??

I don't think you bought a ringtone. You bought a song/whatever that must be now made into a ringtone. Yes, I understand that it said ringtone.
On the left hand side of itunes, under Library, do you have a ringtone category? Is that ringtone shown in that category?
If it is not, then you have yet to create the ringtone.
In itunes:
Buy the song/ringtone/jingle/whatever with a bell icon = 99 cents
Find the song in your library an click the bell - the editor will come up
Edit the song, in your case, there is no editing needed
Click Buy = another 99 cents
The ringtone will appear in your ringtone category, under library
Sync your iphone

Ringtones for IPHONE

How do I get ringtones for my Iphone. I tried using the Itunes store, but the ringtones option will not work for Canada. I've tried using the garage band to create a ringtone, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any advise?

Open up iTunes and garage band drag a song from itunes
into the garage band window it will show the song in the top of garage band next set the desired length and portion of the song you want to use as the ringtone (at the bottom center is a button called cycle region click that) a yellow bar appears at the top use that bar to set the length and portion of song you want You can play back and check what you've done using the play button in the center. When you are ready go to (share/send ringtone to iTunes) then just sync your phone

Song capacity for iPhone

I have ran a search for this question but nothing came up. How many songs can you load onto the device? I have a library that is over 2,000 songs, and was interested in purchasing an iPhone this summer.
Thanks in advance.

The song capacity for the 16GB iPhone should be about the same as the 16GB iPod Touch, which is up to 3,500 songs.
Music capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding - actual capacity varies by content.
Up to 3500 songs is also based on having no video or photos.
You can't get caught up with the up to number of songs advertisement, since the actual capacity varies by content.
Are all your songs encoded 128-Kbps AAC, and do all songs average 4 minutes per song?
It is more important to go by the storage capacity that your songs take up, which you can determine with iTunes - for all music, or by playlist, etc.
You won't have a full 16GB of storage capacity either. This is the decimal equivalent, which is not the actual. The actual storage capacity for my 8GB iPhone is only about 7.3GB. This takes into account the difference between the advertised storage capacity and the actual - which is less than advertised for all hard drives and flash drives. The same applies to your hard drive's actual capacity on your MacBook. And OS X takes up roughly 500MB or so of the actual.

Can you make custom ringtone for iPhone 4 w/o using iTunes?

My computer crashed and I had to redownload iTunes and all my music the other day. I plugged my iPhone 4 in to put a custom ringtone I made in iTunes on it and it says it wants to "erase and sync" my phone since it was connected to my old iTunes. Is there a way to fix this or is there a way to make a new custom ringtone for my iphone without using iTunes?

New stock ringtones for iPhone?

Does anyone know if there is a web app. or download for new stock ringtones for the iPhone? Not sound effects(like the ones that come on new iPhones) or musical tones. Just plain old standard cell phone ringtones. Such as the ringtone heard in the first TV commercial for the iPhone.

Have a look at these.
