Yes, you can upgrade to quicktime pro with a SN. Then you can open a song and edit it and then download this program "makeiphoneringtone" and that puts it in the ringtones section of itunes. private message me if you have questions

Can't create ringtone (AU)

Whenever I try to create a ringtone, I get an error message...
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (11556). "
My network connection is fine and I have been downloading Apps and songs tonight. It just seems that I can't create ringtones. I'm trying to create a Ringtone on a song purchased from the store just minutes ago, using iTunes 7.7 for an iPhone 3G. I'm in Australia, and therefore use the Australian iTunes store.

Okay - I was reading another thread and tried this and it worked!
'Okay, I tracked down a solution. It's not in any of Apple's related FAQs (it should).
"I was having the same trouble as those posted here, and finally called iTunes Support. They told me that there is a "TOS loop" that happens on the first purchase of a ringtone from a song that is already in your library (in other words, you are repurchasing the tune to make a ringtone). Here is their work-around:
"Go to the iTunes home page, sign in, and download the FREE Single of the Week. There will be no charge. That will give you the prompt to "Accept the Terms of Service" window, which you should accept and click okay. Now go back to the music library window on your desktop, and select the song you want, and choose Create Ringtone. This time, because you've already purchased a new song for a ringtone, you won't get into the TOS loop, and you should see the WAV box at the bottom, which allows you to select and preview your ringtone, then click buy when you're ready."'

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.

I can't create ringtones

When I click on a purchased song to create a ringtone, an error box tells me I must AGREE to Apple's Terms of Service and tells me to click OK to redirect. When I click OK nothing happens. When I go manually to the Terms of Service it does not give me a box to click AGREE.

aangelaa,
hope this helps. this is in a different thread, and i cannot take credit for the instructions...i wish i could remember who took the time to make this AWESOME list of instructions, by far the easiest way to create ringtones from any song...for free. Thank you!
enjoy

I found this way to create ringtones in a previous discussion and think it is the easiest way to do it
1. Open iTunes Library
2. Double click on the song you want to turn into a ringtone. Listen to the song and write down the approximate start and end times of the section you want to save as a ringtone, up to 40 seconds long.
3. Once you have determined the approximate start and end times, pause the playback of the song, right click on the song, and select "Get Info", then "Options".
4. Add a check to the Start Time box and type in the approximate start time. Then add a check to the Stop Time box and type in the stop time. Exit the Options section by clicking OK.
5. Still in iTunes Library, double click the song again to listen and verify that the start and stop times are eorrect. If the times need a slight adjustment, repeat steps 4 and 5 until you are satisfied.
6. Right click on the song again and select "Convert selection to AAC". This will create a new, separate, shortened song with the same name at the top of the iTunes library.
7. Right click on the new shortened song and select "Show in Windows Explorer". The title will appear in Explorer followed by _1.m4a . (If you don't see the file name extention ".m4a" in Explorer, you will need to go to Control panel (Classic view), Folder Options, View, and then uncheck the box next to "Hide extensions for known file types").
8. Right click on the songtitle_1.m4a file in Explorer and select Rename. Change the file name extension "m4a" to "m4r" and press Enter. You will get a warning about changing the file name extension, but click YES.
9. Now stay in that same Windows Explorer window and double click the new .m4r song. Instantly, iTunes will pop up, the song will appear in Ringtones, and it will start playing. (If it doesn't, try adding a "Ringtones" folder in "iTunes Music" directory.
10. Sync your iPhone with the computer and the new ringtone will appear under the Custom section.
Hope this helps.

Can't create ringtones using purchased songs in itunes...

I just got an iphone and I am trying to use several purchased songs to create ringtones. When I click on the bell a box comes up that says I have to verify the Terms of Service again, and that if I click OK I will be taken to the Terms of Service. When I click on OK nothing happens and I still cannot use the songs to make ringtones. I have tried clicking OK many times with the same result. I have also gone to the store site and looked at the Terms of Service but this does not seem to solve the problem. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Just purchased an iPhone tonight, but whenever I try to create a ringtone it asks me to go accept the terms of service, then does nothing after pressing OK. I'm logged into the music store successfully, so that's not it. So I'm stuck. Help! I should add that this is happening against a Mac.

Can't create Ringtones

I moved to Mac Last February and I got the subscription to .Mac which assigned me a new apple account (@apple.com ). All my purchases with my previous (@msn.com) account I was able to transfer from my IPhone to my new IMac but the problem is that when I try to create a ringtone from any of these purchases song I will tell me that " this song was purchase by a different account ". When I log in with my previous account and I try to create the ringtone everything works fine until I click the "Buy" button. When I do it, nothing happen: no ringtone is purchased, no charge from Apple to my credit card and no error message.
I tried to get some help from Itunes store customer service but they told me that " the easiest solution will be is for you to repurchase the song you want to create as ringtone". They went ahead to offer me 4 songs credit ( I Have purchased well beyond this amount, even though not all my purchase songs are ringtone-ready songs. They also deleted my @apple.com account so all my new purchases (not to many, only 7 songs) will also have the same problem when I try to create and buy ringtones.
Thank you for any help I can get about this issue.

Don't know if you're still having this problem but...
I had the same thing. I couldn't create a ringtone in the regular iTunes store. The way I was able to create a ringtone was to take a song I'd downloaded that was ringtone-eligible (if you click on view/view options, click ringtones, and then by sort clicking on the ringtone icon, you'll have all the songs that are ringtone-eligible lined up together). Then I double-clicked on the ringtone icon next to the song I wanted. Then you'll be able to create the ringtone the way you like.
So if you download a song, you should be able to create a ringtone from your iTunes library.

Can you create sfx in GarageBand?

I'm not a musician, nor am I an Apple guru. I need to create a sound effect that's in the background of an mp3 file which I have (so I can loop it and play it continuously). I think it's really basic if you know what you're doing. I however, haven't a clue.
If you think you can help, then send me your email address and I'll post the file to you.
Cheers, Jennie.

Create ringtones

I want to put some ringtones on my iphone. I've looked through all the support info. I go to itunes. Some of the menu commands are black (useable) and some are grey (not an option). Under the "store" tab - the "create ringtones" command is grey and therefore it won't let me select it. I have done everything I can think of, but itunes won't let me create ringtones. Any ideas or help?

Apparently, you can only create ringtones from 'approved' songs that you have purchased from the iTunes store. Not all iTunes-purchased songs are available as ringtones, and you cannot do it if you imported them from a CD. I guess that is some of the deals Apple has struck.

Can I create a ringtone in GarageBand

Hi there,
I have a song in GarageBand 2 that I'd like to use it as a ringtone in a couple of cell phones. The cell phone models are Motorola V400 and Sony Erickson T290a. The Motorola can play polyphonic and MP3 ringtones, the Sony Erickson only polyphonic.
Does anybody know if I can convert my song to a ringtone for those phones? If it is possible, how do I do that? How do I transfer from my Mac to the cell phones?
Thanks for your help.

You probably already found your answer, but my brother-in-law and I just figured this out the other night. We initially looked on this discussion board and found nothing, so I'll attempt to paste our solution on several boards.
The steps may look long, however, after you do this once it's so easy...
(1) Find the song you want as your ringtone and drag it into GarageBand. (If the song is a purchaed iTunes song it will be protected and this won't be possible. There is various software to remove the protection, but I have yet to use it).
(2) Cut the song down to a 10 - 45 second clip within GarageBand.
(3) Send the song back to iTunes (using the Share menu). The song will then most likely show up in a new playlist with your name as the artist.
(4) Convert the song to a mp3. You will most likely need to first go into iTunes preferences and select the Advanced setting. Then change the import (yes import even though you'll export) option to mp3. Then go under the Advanced menu and select convert to mp3. Now you'll have a duplicate song, but this one will be an mp3. Use Info (Apple "I") to verify which is which.
(5) Drag your new mp3 10 - 45 second mp3 to your desktop.
Now you'll send your mp3 mobile phone via bluetooth.
(6) Go into System Preferences and select Bluetooth. Then go into your phone and setup your bluetooth (if you haven't done this before it can be tricky because there are so many different phone types - however you'll basically need to go into your phone setting and send your signal to your Mac). The process is very similiar to setting up a bluetooth keyboard or mouse. Follow the onscreen prompts and you'll likely be asked to enter a computer generated number into your phone to verify you want to connect.
(7) Once connected you should then go into File Sharing and turn it on (within the Bluetooth menu).
(8) You're almost done. Now open Bluetooth File Exchange (within Applications - Utilities) and select send a file. Select the mp3 file (or photo or video) on your desktop and send it. Lastly, you'll most likely have to Accept the incoming file on your phone.
(9) Once the transfer is complete (1 - 3 minutes) you should have a new self-created ringtone!
Let me know if this worked!

How Can i Create my own sounds in Garageband?

I know how to take songs and create them into ringtones for my iphone but i would like to know how i can create a simple sounding text messaging notifier from garageband. Anyone have any ideas?

I just imported an mp3 into Garageband.
I sent it to iTunes via the "Share" menu.
Once in iTunes, I chose "Create Ringtone."
I got a message saying "You Can Convert Many Songs Purchased from the iTunes store to ringtones."
So what is the secret?

Creating a Ringtone in Garageband

Hi all
I have no idea how to create a ringtone in GarageBand. This guide that Apple says to use:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307108
tells me nothing. I have no idea how to use GarageBand. I try to create a ringtone, and it saves 8 seconds of it and it is not of the part that I thought I was creating. Can someone give step by step easy to use instructions for someone who has no knowledge of GarageBand? Thanks

after importing the song, if the cycle mode is on, you'll see a yellow strip at the top. If you don't see it, I think "c" toggles cycle mode on and off. Set your cycle mode as long as you want (no longer than 40 seconds) move the yellow to whatever part of the song you want as your ringtone and then send to itunes as ringtone. My guess is your cycle is only 8 seconds long.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Brian

How can I create an iPhone3g ringtone from a recorded MP3

I've recorded my daughters voice as an mp3 file (about 10 seconds long) and want to use it as a ringtone on my iPhone3G but cannot figure out how I do this. I'm using iTunes8 and all the instructions I've found on creating ringtones will not work as menu options simply aren't there and no amount of messing around with the file will allow me to drop it into the ringtones folder on my library. This is infuriating as is the apple support site 8-(

The easiest way I found was by using http://audiko.net/en.html. You just upload any MP3, trim it by dragging the handles to what you want and then download it to your PC. Then, you can just drag it to the Ringtones section in iTunes.

"Create Ringtone" option is dithered--can't purchase ringtones at all

I want to purchase a ringtone. I highlight the song I want to buy--it has a bell--but when I go up to Store---the "create ringtone" option is dithered--don't have the option to buy it. What is up?
Message was edited by: ErinFG

You have to buy the song first, then you can buy the ringtone for songs where ringtones are available (easiest to do that from your Purchased playlist). Also, note that ringtones are only available when logged into the US iTunes Store (check the popup menu at the bottom of the main page of the iTunes Store).
