After purchase: ". . . can no longer be made into a ringtone"

I figured I'd get my first ringtone.
Maybe it was a bad choice, but "Mandy" by Barry Manilow was there, with the ringtone bell. My daughter's name. I knew it would make her crazy!
Immediately after I downloaded it, I went to make the ringtone- and a dialog box came up that said "'Mandy' by Barry Manilow can no longer be made into a ringtone."
C'mon, Apple! Is there any other reason I would buy that song? How do I get my 99 cents credited back?

When you get your iTunes statement via email, there is a link for each song that says, "Report a problem." Click on the link adjacent to the song you have issue with, follow the prompts and send your issue to Apple.
They usually respond in less than a day.

Can no longer be made into a ringtone

I purchased Jump by Van Halen even though I already own the song from a cd. When I tried to make a ring tone (it has a bell by it in itunes store and my library) it tells me "Jump by Van Halen can no longer be made into a ringtone".
I can not find a link on Apple's support site to ask them. Any help?

are you guys sure those songs can be made into ringtones? you can't just purchase any song and make it a ringtone it actualy must have the ringtone bell next to it. i purchased the new kanye cd and i got those messages when i tried to convert some of his songs which had no bells...amybe this is your problem?

"...can no longer be made into a ringtone" why not, I ask

I purchased a song on itunes today (a song that I already owned!) for the purpose of creating a ringtone.
Went to the Purchased folder, highlighted the song, selected "create ringtone", had to login to itunes store again, clicked Buy...then I was presented with a window:
*This song cannot be made into a ringtone:*
"wheres your head at" by Basement Jaxx can no longer be made into a ringtone
What gives? How can I fix this issue? Using itunes version 7.4.1.2

That song can not be a ringtone. Not all songs have been authorized by their owners for use with ringtones. Its a nuance of copyright law.
However, iTunes has been updating this information all day so it may become available in the future.

Five minutes later"this song can no longer be made into a ringtone"

I downloaded a song that had the bell next to it. Five minutes later, it's downloaded, and I click the bell icon to make my ringtone. A box popped up that said "this song cannot be made into a ringtone- this song can no longer be made into a ringtone"
What's up with that??? I already had this song in my library. I only downloaded it again so that I could make the ringtone, and now it won't work. Anybody know what to do??
Thanks, Kelly

I am having the SAME issue - I just bought a song 2 days ago that clearly had the bell icon next to it. Right after downloading the song I clicked "create ringtone" and received the same error message "this song can no longer be made into a ringtone". SO I called iPhone - they can't help...so I emailed iTunes and I am getting the total run around. I clearly explained this issue to which they have replied with FAQs on ringtones and articles on how to download ringtones, duh. I re-authorized my computer, restarted it, on and on...still nothing. It seems like iTunes support wants to ignore my true problem and just keep running me around in circles.

Song can no longer be made into a ringtone

I just purchased and downloaded a song. I go into store - create a ringtone and I get the message that this song can no longer be made into a ringtone.
Any ideas what this means and how to fix?
Thanks,

When you download songs in iTunes only those with a little bell symbol are able to be made into a ringtone...
Or you can use DRM free media to make your own ringtones in Garage Band

Sophisticated Lady by Billie Holiday can no longer be made into a ringtone

Despite the fact the I already own several versions of this song on CD, I suckered myself into buying it from iTunes just so that I could make it into a ringtone for my iPhone.
Once it finished downloading iTunes cheerfully tells me: "Sophisticated Lady" by Billie Holiday can no longer be made into a ringtone.
I wonder, was I too slow? Were there just too many people making this song into ringtone so now the ringtone quota for "Sophisticated Lady" has been filled?
What annoys me is there is no way of knowing, that I can tell, if a song can be made in to a ringtone or not. So, if you already own the music, it's a gamble. You have to buy the song from iTunes and then try to make it into a ringtone. If you're lucky it'll work. You can't just buy the ringtone. You have to buy the song, and then the ringtone, which is 2 * $0.99 + whatever else you payed for the music.

I think there are several people having issues with the ringtone icon not properly appearing for songs that can be made into tones. Also, there seems to be quite a bit of music that once could be made into ringtones that can no longer be made into songs. I get that for several of the Van Halen songs that initially were able to be made into ringtones, but that no longer can be. For example I get the error message "Eruption" by Van Halen can no longer be made into a ringtone.
If anyone else has figured this out, please let us know.

Songs Bought from iTunes Store Can No Longer Be Made Into Ringtones???

I just tried to make a ringtone with a song I bought from the iTunes store a couple of months ago - it's telling me "This song can no longer be made into a ringtone."
Is there an expiration date on songs purchased from the iTunes store??? Incredibly lame if so.

After you open the iTunes application select "iTunes Store" in the left panel.
On the top right corner below the "Search iTunes Store" you should see your ID for the store. Click on it.
Enter your password and click on "View Account".
Click "Purchase History" and then click "Report a problem".
On your latest purchases you should now be able to click on the link "Report a problem", select the "Problem" and enter your "Comments".

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

I can no longer drag songs into my playlists.

I can no longer drag songs into my playlists. I drag them over and nothing happens.

I have restarted several times and I still can't drag and drop. My only option is to control click and then it gives me a drop down menu of options including putting into a playlist. I think this alternative *****! Drag and drop was a whole lot easier

After iCloud can no longer see my HD over internet

Used my HD over the internet that is connected to the back of my AE using mobileme
After iCloud this seems to have stopped. I just asume you can no longer do this under iCloud.
It was easy log into my laptop over the internet with my mobile me, the HD would show up in side bar... not now

For anyone who may have this problem in the future, I thought I would post a reply myself on how I solved this problem.
The problem turned out to be my router. In the middle of the night I had an idea, so I rebooted my router & switches & now ALL the computers (even the Windoze ones) show up!

After upgrade can no longer connect to Mac from Windows

I have a wireless network (Linksys) with 2 iMacs, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP workstations. I have file sharing between the Windows and Mac computers. After upgrading I can no longer see the shared folders on the upgraded iMac from the Windows box. I cannot even ping the iMac by node name, but I can ping it by IP address so it is recognizable on the network. I cannot connect by IP address, however.
I have file and printer sharing enabled on the Leopard iMac. What can I do to restore the former connection?

Thank you! That partially solved the problem. I can now see the Leopard Mac and can open my user folder on it. However, the subfolders give an error saying they are not accessible - permission denied. I have gone through the folders and set all of them to Shared, but this did not make them accessible.

HELP-Songs can no longer be dragged into playlists on my Itunes

I have noticed recently that I can no longer click and 'drag' my songs from my library play list, to other playlists on itunes. Is there another way I can transfer specific songs from the library to my playlists? Or is there a way I can fix it so I can continue to drag my songs from the library to other playlists?
Thank you!

Are you trying to drag songs to a regular or a smart playlist? You cannot drag songs to a smart playlist, instead you have to make the tags match the smart playlists conditions (or make the conditions match the tags). If you are having problems dragging to a regular playlist, try opening that playlist in a second window by double clicking on it, move it aside so you can see both iTunes windows, and try dragging the song from the Library into the playlist's window.

I am a tourist. I want to buy Iphone5. After purchasing, can I get the tourist tax refund?

I am a tourist. I want to buy Iphone5.
After purchasing of Iphone, can I get the tourist tax refund at the airport ?
If it is possible, what should I request to the apple store.

How on earth do you expect any of us here to answer that? We have no idea where you are, what country you plan to purchase the iPhone in and what, if any, tax would be included in that purchase.
