Can't make a ringtone

i bought a song a little over a week ago off itunes and it had the ringtone bell icon next to it. it still has the ringtone icon, but when i click it to try and make a ringtone it says the song can no longer be made into a ringtone. i looked it up again on itunes and it's still available as a ringtone.. so what do i do? because i thinks its ridiculous if i'm expected to buy the song again, make it a ringtone and then buy that ringtone too.

Apple puts a (weak) DRM on most of the songs in the iTunes store (because the music industry tells them to). If you can't figure out a way around this yourself - do you think it's a good idea to go to the Apple forum to ask how to break this DRM?

Can you make iPhone ringtones (M4R) in Logic Express without GarageBand 08?
If so how?
Thanks,
Ed

Not exactly ... while you can make a ringtone with any application that you would like, Soundtrack Pro 2 and Logic do not have a conversion to the ringtone format. Mv4R or something like that. GarageBand does.
I answered my own question I guess
Thanks anyway,

or for more infomation on ringtones go to http://www.tech-experts.webs.com
Or another way is by selecting the ringtone Go to itunes songs you own and right click the song you want as your ringtone. Scroll down to where it says create ringtone. Then a window will pop up thats lets you select from where to where you want the ringtone in the song. You can get from 5 sec to 30 sec. but remember the song should have been bought from the app store. then it is possible.

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?

you're better off creating new ringtones. Take a look at the first link I gave you, that will answer all your questions.

Can't make Ringtone -Can't get to anywhere to agree to Terms of Service

I can't seem to be able to create a ringtone from a song I purchased with the express intent of creating my first ringtone.
I purchased a song on my iPhone a couple of days ago from which I would theoretically be able to create a ringtone. I synced my iPhone with my computer (iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core Duo running 10.5.1) this morning. I launched iTunes (7.6), saw my song there, clicked on the bell, and a pop-up window appeared telling me:
"In order to purchase ringtones, you must review and accept the iTunes Store Terms of Service. Click OK to go to the iTunes Store Terms of Service"
So, of course I click OK and .... nothing happens. The popup window goes away, but no Terms of Service appears. So I launch Safari, thinking that maybe I need to have it open. Go through the process again and ... nothing happens. So I go log into my iTunes account, and on the bottom of the account information I see a button for Terms of Service. I click on it, Safari opens the page, I see and review the terms of service.
But - there is NO way that I can agree to the Terms of Service. There is no button (and not even a broken link) for an "I accept" option.
So, how can I make my ringtone if I can't agree to the Terms of Service? Help!

Thanks Nathan!
I just downloaded one of the freebies and got the Terms of Service with an "Accept" button.
The song I wanted to make a ringtone from I purchased on Jan. 30, after the new Terms of Service agreement. But I since I purchased it on my iPhone rather than my Mac, I didn't have to agree to anything. Still, I think Apple needs to fix something in iTunes, because I should have gotten the same screen when I tried to make a ringtone and it told me that I needed to accept the Terms.
But I have the ringtone editor now, so I'm happy.

How do I make a ringtone for free using iTunes 8.2.1 on Windows Vista?

**Hi, I recently bought a new comp and went from an older version of iTunes to 8.2.1, and now operate on Windows Vista. I used to be able to create a 30sec AAC version of a song and change the format to m4r which made in into a ringtone, but either I'm doing something wrong or I forgot a step or Vista or iTunes 8.2.1 won't let me. What are the steps for this process?**

I wanna know too!! I had no problem making ringtones before from songs on my computer and then adding them to itunes, but now it doesn't seem to work. I can actually make the ringtone and add it to itunes and it will play, but it won't sync to my phone (phone doesn't even recognize the ringtone when I try to plug it in and sync).
The only real difference now is I used to have an iPhone 3G and now I have the 3GS.

How can I make a song my ringtone?

Replace the m4a extension of a sound file with m4r.
Or open m4a file in Quicktime, cut the bit you need,
then just "save as",
Then rename the .mov to m4r!
Copy the m4r to itunes.
Check ringtones are sync'd.
And your done.

Itunes can't make ringtone

I purchased a song from iTunes just to make a ringtone, and when I tried to do it, I got a message that says: this song can no longer be made into a ringtone.
Does anyone know what this is about?

If a song is eligible for custom ringtone creation, the Ringtone Editor appears at the bottom of the screen. If a song is not eligible, you will see the message: "This song cannot be made into a ringtone."
You can also choose View > View Options and select the Ringtone checkbox to display ringtone-eligible songs.
Simplest thing to do: You're on a Mac, just use garage band to make your own ringtones & export directly to itunes:

Can someone please help me how can I make my converted m4 songs into a ringtone.
Also, how can i review and validate my account without entering any credit card

There are many apps in the App Store, which you can download (many are free) that will let you take a song on your phone and turn it into a ringtone. Virtually all of them will require that once you've made the clip, you do something like email it to yourself, then connect your phone to your computer, save it iTunes, then sync it to your ringtones library on your phone. Go to the App Store and type in Ringtone. Lot's of options will appear.

I did an internet search (Google) and found the following. It is from May (before the latest iOS update) so the look of some of the steps may vary slightly from the current iOS 7. http://osxdaily.com/2013/03/04/turn-any-voice-recording-into-a-ringtone-for-ipho ne/

Can't Make Ringtones in iTunes

I just purchased and activated my iPhone yesterday, and I was trying to make a ringtone in iTunes. Strangely, the "Create Ringtone..." selection in the menu bar is faded, so I can't click on it. When I click on the little bell next to a song in my library, I get a little box saying that I need to "review and accept the iTunes Store Terms of Service," and when I click "OK" to do that, nothing happens. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks!

Is the bell icon next to the song illuminated, if not the song cannot be made into a ringtone.

nevermind the above there is a workaround for the TOS nag, something about clearing the notifications in iTunes.

Doesn't matter, carriers determine time before voicemail kicks in.

How can I make ringtones show in my Tones tab rather than the Music tab?

I just bought my first iPhone 4 and uploaded a bunch of music ringtone files to iTunes and changed the default preference to display the Tones tab. However, the ringtones all got added to the Music tab rather than the Tones tab. I have a number of questions:
I'm used to other phones where any music file can be set as a ringtone for a particular contact. Is this the case for iPhones too?
If so, how can I set a ringtone for a contact from these music files?
If not, how can I get the ringtones to appear in the Tones tab? I assume that I would have to do that to sync ringtones to my iPhone ringtone "folder".
Is there another alternative? I read on the forum something about dragging ringtone files to the iPhone. Not sure I understood that! Does this mean I can drag a music file from the Music tab to the iPhone icon and have that file end up in the iPhone ringtone "folder"? If it ends up in the Music "folder", how do I access it to set it as a contact ringtone?
Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.
