Bought a ringtone eligible song, not in ringtones file

I just bought a ringtone eligible song (there was a bell next to it when I bought it), but it isn't coming up in the Ringtones file. ?? Help please!! I'm anxious to get a ringtone on my iPhone!

did you buy the song or the ringtone?
First you need to buy the song, once you have the song then you create a ringtone and then you buy that ringtone and at that point you'll see it in the Ringtone folder

ITunes will not display ringtone eligible songs

My iTunes music folder has suddnely decided to not display which songs that can be converted to ringtones. I have clicked on the bell icon and restarted iTunes and rebooted my machine but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Mine also no longer displays the bell icon. I go to iTunes, see if the song in the Store has a bell, and then make a ringtone, or just go and click create ringtone from the menu, and if it lets me, I know I can, and if it doesn't, I know I can't. A hassle, but I've tried everything to get those bells back and I have yet to find a way.

Is there a way to export a searchable list of artists/albums/songs (not the music files, just the text) to my iPhone 4?

Basically, I have an iPod Classic which contains over 17,000 songs. I have a 16 GB iPhone 4. I don't always have the iPod with me, but just about always have the iPhone. Since I am still old school enough to actually buy CDs, I'd like a handily available and searchable list that I can export from iTunes to my iPhone so I can make sure I don't accidentally duplicate a purchase (it happens). I've tried searching the App Store but either I am doing it wrong, or nothing exists as yet. Obviously the phone can't carry all of that music so I am not looking to transfer those files en masse. Just want the lists so I can reference them as needed. Is this a pipe dream or is there actually a way to do this? Thanks in advance...

I just saw your post
Im using Adobe Elements 11 and my movie is a prel file. When I move it an
external hard drive I want to maintain the order of of my movie in its
original time line if possible
The prel file is a project file which will eventually be exported to a file which will be your movie.
If all this involves just changing the location where you save your project files routinely, that is one thing.
But, once you move the source media that go into a project which has been saved closed, then you get
into serious media - project reconnect issues.
When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals that are at a hard drive save location.
But, the project needs to trace back to the originals at the hard drive save location where they were when first
imported into the project.
Moving the project file should not get you into trouble; whereas moving, deleting, renaming source media that went into the project will.
If the project is finished, I can see using the Project Archiver to save it in a Copied Folder (saved to the external hard drive).
But, to work from the Copied Folder on a routine basis needs some thinking about. I would think about pointing your project and
it components to locations of your choice (even the external hard drive) for the "next" project but without involving the Project Archiver until you have finished
with the project and want it safely out of the way.

I bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working

i bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working.
I saw cidya aap so i m not sure if it was jailbroken or not before but it is back to normal settings.
My problem started when I tried to sync my music files. I pressed 'sync' all it says is waiting for sync start, preparing to sync and then waiting for the changes to be applied. but it does not sync at all.
I found a way to sync my music files through autofill but I really wanted to sync ringtones but its not syncing and I really wanted to put ringtones in my phone please help.

If you see the cidya app, your iPhone is hacked with the cutsie term for this being jailbroken. This also means all the built in security has been removed making the iPhone as insecure as an android device.
Restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to get rid of that hacking garbage. If the iPhone has hacked to be unlocked, the iPhone will no longer be unlocked when doing so.

How can I use a downloaded song as an alarm on my timer? Not a ringtone, a song. It is only 30 sec. long.

This is not particularly helpful. I've looked on 3 websites and none of them match my configuration of iTunes. I've gotten as far as creating an AAC file and that is it. Can't find the .m4s designation to change it.

I can't seem to get this. Sorry for being slow. I have created the 30 second ringtone, and it's in a ringtone folder under Devices (my phone). It's in the folder and if I double click it, it plays fine, etc. However, I can't, after syncing, find it on my Iphone4. Maybe I'm not syncing correctly, or I just don't know where to find it on the phone. I assume I have to find it on the phone in order to select it as my ringtone. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

I download ios8 I can't use my song for ringtone and other ringtone it is not loud and I miss call

I Download ISO 8 and I can't use the song for my ringtone , but it vibrate and I can't hear the phone rings . Other ringtone it is not loUd

There is a difference between the passcode and the sync key.<br />
The passcode allows to setup all sync parameters with a single code on other devices.<br />
To enter the sync key (and user name and password) you need to click on "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom of the "Add a Device" window (Click Connect).

I would like to set a song as my ringtone but it's not in iTunes? Can I still do this?

i want a specific song for my ringtone but iTunes doesn't sell it. Is it still possible to set it?

Follow the link bellow, it will teach you how to do it using the iTunes in your computer, you do not need any additional software to create ringtones.
Good Luck.

HT1491 I downloaded a song for a ringtone but I cant make it my ringtone? Not sure what I am missing?

I want to use different songs for ringtones so I can recognize who is calling me but I dont like the preloaded manufactery ringtones. So I found what I wanted but cant make it work for a ringtone?

Songs need conversion before they can be used as ringtones. Songs and ringtones use different formats.
If you have a Mac, you can use GarageBand to do the conversion. If you have a Windows computer, there are utilities but I can't name one.

I purchased a few music ringtones and text tones on a previous iPhone 5 . When I got the new replacement only the songs downloaded not the ringtones or text tones ..what do I do?

Need help in locating or redownloading previous tones

All content and apps should be in iTunes on your computer.
Connect the device to the computer and sync the desired content to the device.
I do not believe ringtones are available for re-download.

Could not create ringtone. An unknown error occurred (-42160).

After customizing a ringtone, I click on "Buy" and get this error:
*Could not create ringtone. An unknown error occurred (-42160).*
*There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.*
Song: Tomoyasu Hotei - Battle Without Honor or Humanity
Note: I did purchase another ringtone with a different song, and had no issues so maybe it's this song having the issue?

Same problem here, same song DRM free, the only one with the bell icon. Bought the song then I converted the song to AAC (right click the song and the contextual menu appears) and used MakeiphoneRingtone (drag the converted song from your iTunes music library to the application and it puts it right into your ringtones library). I synched and just answered a call with Clocks playing as the ring tone, nice and loud I might add too. I don't know about editing the ring tone because the whole song is the ring tone and it's 9.5 megs big.
Hope this helps.

Purchased ringtones from iTunes store not in "Ringtones" Library

I purchased three ringtones from the iTunes store, from the Ringtones list. Now they appear in my "Music" and "Purchased" categories in iTunes, but not in Ringtones. They do not sync with my 3G iPhone. There is nothing in the Ringtones list when I try to sync. I called technical support and the guy said to change the file extension of each of the ringtones from "M4a" to "M4r", using Finder on my Mac. But that didn't do anything either. When I select the ringtone in Music, right click and try the "create ringtone" option, it asks me if I want to buy it - which, obviously, I don't since I already bought it. I use the US iTunes site.
Thanks

Skyman61,
To purchase a ringtone for the iPhone takes a few steps.
1. Find a song that is available as a ringtone. If you previously purchased it from iTunes as a song, you can skip directly to creating a ringtone if the distribution rights holder for the song has licensed it for being made into a ringtone. The song will have a bell next to it in your iTunes Library. If you need to purchase the song, purchase it from iTunes for 99 cents.
2. Select the song in the library, and choose create ringtone. You will then get to select the portion of the song you want as a ringtone (up to 30 seconds) to use as a ringtone when they do charge you more.
3. Purchase the ringtone for 99 cents for a total of $1.98, which is less than many cellular networks charge for a ringtone, and you don't get to choose the portion of the song you want to use.
It sounds like you purchased a song with a bell next to it, and haven't created the ringtone yet.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Ringtones with songs from CD's

I see only songs I purchased from iTunes have the ringtone option. I have 5000+ songs on my iTunes but most are from CD's I have bought over the last 25 years. I am sure many of these songs have the ringtone option but do I have to purchase the song again to have to then purchase a ringtone or will iTunes not see songs that are available for ringtone then allow me to just purchase the ringtone only.

AFAIK iTunes ringtones are available only for Music Store purchases, and further, only ones that display the little bell symbol. If you wish to create ringtones for songs sourced from CD's you own, then I suggest you try iToner, here:

I have an iphone 4s and ive downloaded an album from itunes, why am i unable to use one of the songs as a ringtone, ive been told i have to download a "ringtone" but i already have the album

can anyone tell me why if i have downloaded an album via itunes i am unable to use of the songs as a ringtone ? i have the iphone 4s

Songs and ringtones are different types of music files. The file extension of Songs is mp4 and that of ringtones is mp4r. They are not interchangeable. You need to download the ringtone you want or convert the file with a ringtone creator app of which they are many for free in the App Store.

How do I put a "Not Eligible" song on my iPhone

After iTunes matched my library, it found 60 items that were "Not Eligible". Most were music videos but some were not. If I turn iTunes Match on for my iPhone or iPad, it says the library will be removed and replaced with my iTunes Match library in iCloud. Once I do that, how do I get back access to the "not eligible" songs (i.e. sound, NOT video) that used to sit on my device? Is Apple actually saying that there is media out there that can be synced directly from the Mac to the iPhone that cannot be synced indirectly through iCloud?

I hate to say it, but I was totally sold on the idea of iTunes Match, and now am completely turned off. I spent 3 hours on the phone yesterday with tech support trying to figure this issue out. I have about 30 gig of music on my Mac and a 16 gig iPhone. I want to sych about 5 gig of music through the cable using the playlist I have set up on my computer and manage there, I slide songs in and out of it depending on what I want for the day. This has worked fine for me, the benefit of iTunes match to me was that if I was out on the road and wanted a certain song, then I could download it on the go. To my surprise after I turned on iTunes Match, the ability to synch a playlist is gone. I played around with it and couldn't figure it out. I stopped at the Apple Store and they told me I should be able to and that something must be out of whack. Last night I spent three hours on the phone with tech support and the first two people said the same thing and kept trying to walk me through the process to synch a playlist yet I kept telling them the option is not there. Finally I got an "iTunes Match" expert on the phone who in a very straightforward answer told me that the way the system in working is exactly as intended. I said "hold on, so any music I hove that doesn't match to the iCloud will be pulled off my phone? Like the CD my sister made with her kids singing Christmas songs?" He just said "That's right". I'm still shocked this is how they intend to have the software work. I tried late last night to turn off iTunes match, make a playlist and synch it to my phone, then turn back on iTunes Match. My playlist included every AC/DC album, every Beatles album, and my sister's CD. When I turned back on iTunes Match, now I have all the AC/DC song files on my phone and all the Beatles albums except two of the disks (they are labeled as "Excluded" in iTunes now, yet I bought the CD and burned it myself, this is not a hokey stolen off the internet file) and get this, my sister's CD is there. It clearly seems to me that Apple has not thought this one through and they have tech advisers who don't even understand the product. This seems so simple to me, let me load whatever music I want onto my phone during the cable connected synch and then let me pull additional files as I want while on the road. Have you heard about the guy who has had his whole library load from the cloud through his cellular service, he is goona love his bill when he gets it.
