Using Itunes To Make Ringtones

I was trying to use Itunes to edit some song files. I wanted to create some ringtones for my phones, like extracting the first couple of second from a song and making a new file to use as a ringtone. Can anyone help me out?

You need to set the start & stop time of the song you want (right-click, 'Get Info'), then convert (Advanced=>Convert selection) the song into the format you need for the phone (most likely MP3).
This will create another file in the format you need and within the time constraints you selected. Port that file over to your phone.
Post back if you have more questions.

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.

Using iTune songs as ringtones problem?

Hi all, my very first post and no doubt its been asked a million times but I did a quick search and couldn't find it so hence my question!
I have over 200 songs in my iTunes that I used to put on my iPod Shuffle. I upgraded my Blackberry Bold to an iPhone 4 that turned up yesterday. My problem is, that I can't seen to get any of the songs that are now on this phone to work as a ringtone. I did a search online that showed how to use songs bought off iTunes and downloaded straight to the phone as ringtones and also a thread on appleblog? that showed how to shorten down a song to be used as a ringtone but it then had posts underneath the thread saying it wasn't a compatible way of making ringtones with the newer iPhone 4.
Do I have to repay for songs I already have and have already bought through iTunes again to make it a ringtone as thats a bit of a swizz isn't it or am I just doing something wrong?
My iPhone knowledge is basic as I've owned it now for a day lol !!
If its needed its an iPhone 4 I have with OS 4.1 installed
Thanks in advance

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Would like to know how to take itunes and make them caller tunes on iphone

Then type "create iphone ringtones" or similar into the google search bar.
You will find several ways to it.
If you have a Mac as your signature says, then you have posted in the wrong forum - this is the windows forum - and you can use Garageband to make ringtones.

Cannot sync photos from Aperture using iTunes

Yesterday I took 16 photos using a Canon 5D Mark III and uploaded them into Aperture and created a new project to hold them. The I wanted to transfer them into my iPhone so I went to iTunes, connected the iPhone via USB cable and in the left hand side bar under Photos I clicked "Sync Photos", selected "Chose photos from Aperture" and "Events from the last 3 months" and in the events list that appears below, the new project appears checked.The I clicked on Sync and left the iPhone and the MBP connected overnight and it stayed in Step 7 of 7 Importing Photos....
Any ideas on why I have not been able to import that project from Aperture into the iPhone using iTunes?

Make sure everything is installed and up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, try syncing from a different folder with photos. See if that one works.
Finally, see if this works/applies/gets you anywhere...
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes

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?

I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can create my own ringtones as I had done in the past? Thank you.

I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can make my own ringtones? I have always done so in the past (Android). I much prefer to hear my songs when someone calls. Thank you.

I have tried to follow all the steps correctly. I presently have on itunes 2 entries:
1. song.m4r with this highlighted on info screen but song location.m4a on summary screen. I have enetered "OK" several times.
2. song no suffix on info screen but song location .m4r.mp3 on summary screen
After syncing I then go a contact and edit it. Trying to change ringtone does not give me an option for the ringtone that I created only those that were preloaded. Is there something that I need to do here? The ringtone (at least one of them) does appear in my song list and I can play it. I don't know how to check for its properties on the iphone.
I do not have an itunes created entry on the sidebar for ringtones (I did create a playlist myself).

Are you meaning rintones that you create from existing files?
If so - then Google and you will get lots of hits on 'how to'.
Once you have the ringtones in your iTunes library then make sure in iTunes prefs>General tab - the Tones option is selected. Once your device shows in the Devices list make sure you select from the Tones tab in the Devices window the tones you want to d/l.

Using iTunes Purchased Ringtone

This seems like it should be so simple but it's not. I purchased a ringtone in iTunes. Once I synced my iphone the ringtone shows up in my music list as a ringtone, but it doesn't show up as a ringtone I can select for the phone under settings. The only ringtones there are the default.
How can I select my purchased ringtone to be used as the phone ringtone?

Type "iphone ringtone itunes 10" or similar into the Google search bar. You will find this:

I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognized by all these devices? My apple id is constantly not working.

Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,
GB
