  • Creating A Ringtone In Itunes Help.

    I've been trying to create a ringtone in iTunes using a song purchased from iTunes store. I keep getting this message.
    Itunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occurred(11556) Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
    I am able to view the iTunes store and even purchase songs from it.

    Yes, not all songs available in iTunes are able to be made into ringtones... if you see a Bell symbol next to the song then that one can be made into a Ringtone...
    Otherwise you can still use iTunes to create your own from DRM free songs you already had...Google search will help give you a guide...

  • I followed the instructions on creating a ringtone from a song in my library. It's not creating my 40 sec ringtone in my library to drag to ringtone section. Pls help

    I followed the instructions on creating a ringtone from a song in my library. It's not creating my 40 sec ringtone in my library to drag to ringtone section. Pls help

    Okay, so here is what happend.
    I deleted the song from my library since iTunes would not allow me to delete it from the purchased item list.  Then i pluged my phone into my computer and got this message:
    "iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone “Paul’s iPhone” that are not present in your iTunes library. Do you want to transfer these items from this iPhone back to your iTunes library?"
    I selected "Transfer" and it showed up with a dotted circle next to it where a a song number would normally be displayed. Then fter a couple of minutes the dotted circle magically dissapered and was replaced by a number just like all of the other songs in my library.
    And best of all...it plays!!! 
    Thanks for you help!!

  • How to create custom Ringtones (m4r files) from Songs in iTunes

    Jakarta, 14 June 2013
    On Mac OS : 10.7.5 (Lion)
    On iTunes : 11.0.4
    Difficulty : intermediate - hard
    Assuming you know basic Ctrl+Click and Option+Drag...
    Full correct steps should be like this :
    1) Select a favourite song in iTunes program to be made into Ringtone...
    2) "Get Info" on that song name and make any 0:30 seconds portion of that song....
    (specify "Start" & "Stop" time - under "Options" – to any 30-seconds duration and click OK)
    3) Right-click or Ctrl-Click again on same song name and select "Create AAC Version" to create an .m4a file...
    (when done iTunes will create a Chime)
    4) to locate the created .m4a file easily, Ctrl-Click again on same song name and select "Show in Finder" from the pop-up list...
    (iTunes will automatically point the folder location of the original .mp3 & the newly created .m4a files... keep this window open for later...)
    5) change the .m4a file to .m4r as suggested...
    (rename to whatever you like but you must change the extension to .m4r)
    6) At this point, the m4r(original) file isn't a "Ringtone" file yet... which we'll need to change now...)
    (check under "Get Info" > "Kind" :  it's still "Apple MPEG-4 Audio")
    ...1st by dragging that newly changed .m4r(ori) file to somewhere out of that same default folder it was created by iTunes...
    { this is where most confusions occur, take note here, it gets rather complicated }
    7) Once it's outside of that folder, Double Click the m4r(ori) file and iTunes will play...
    (u can stop it immediately...) this is just to let iTunes automatically convert that m4r(ori) file into a new duplicate & places it inside the initial default folder where the original .mp3 file is kept... we kept the window open previously, remember?
    8) Locate that duplicate .m4r(new & true) file, in that same .mp3 folder and now DUPLICATE-Drag (press Option while dragging to get the "+" sign) it to the "TONES" folder in your default apple folder structure. (check under "Get Info", this .m4r(new) File's "Kind" should be "Ringtone")
    //to get to that "TONES" Folder : First Locate your iTunes default Music Folder in your Mac --> usually it's in your Default "MUSIC" folder --> Navigate to "iTunes Media"  --> Navigate to "Tones". !! Keep this window open to make the transfer manually !!
    9) Once your duplicate is placed inside the "Tones" folder, double-click on that duplicate .m4r(true) file and let iTunes play, it should automatically place that ringtone file into the "Ringtone" sidebar List in the iTunes program... (check program to see)
    Somehow u needed both duplicates : 1 – inside the default initial .mp3 folder & 1 – inside the Tones Folder which we Duplicate+Drag into... and both must be "Ringtone" – Kind... for this to work.
    10) There you go. Now you can Sync / Delete / Add the whole Ringtone contents to your iPhone as you wish.
    //Don't forget to set SYNC ON under the iphone  "Tones" tab in your iTunes - iPhone screen... and click big SYNC button at the bottom of iTunes program & wait for the magic.
    ( Finally you can check inside your iPhone "Sounds" settings and hopefully if all steps done correctly, the bloodycomplicatedringtone selection will be there. Enjoy!

    Hi --
    I'm using iTunes 11.0.4 on OSX 10.8.4 and am having a hard time following your instructions to create a ringtone from a snippet of a .mp3 file using iTunes:
    1) Select a favourite song in iTunes program to be made into Ringtone... CHECK!
    2) "Get Info" on that song name and make any 0:30 seconds portion of that song.... CHECK !
    3) Right-click or Ctrl-Click again on same song name and select "Create AAC Version" to create an .m4a file... PROBLEM!
    It's when I hit Step 3 that I have a problem -- my "right click menu" at that point looks like this:
    There's no option to "create AAC version." Nor does this option appear anywhere in iTunes that I can find.
    It really shouldn't be this confusing to create a freaking ringtone. HELP PLEASE!

  • How do I create a ringtone in iTunes 10.2.2?

    I have found an article that shows how to create a ringtone in iTunes 9.2 and it does not seem to apply to iTunes 10.2.2
    Can I safely download 9.2, create a ringtone in the iTunes Store and not affect my current application?
    Thanks for the help,
    eAL

    I am completely unable to use a purchased "ringtone" as a ringtone because iTunes will not recognize it as such. I have tried the instructions in the above article (numerous times), and found the same instructions all around google.  I can NOT move a 30 sec clip I purchased today on iTunes from the music library to the ringtones on my iMac.  It is my understanding from hours of researching this problem, that music sold on iTunes from a computer can NOT be used as ringtones because they are not truly ringtones??  Instead, I have to purchase music from the iPhone under the iTunes App > More > Ringtones.  Is this correct??  I'm so beyond frustrated.  Mac is NEVER this difficult.  Why on earth would anyone want to purchase a 30 sec. clip of a song and NOT be able to use it as a ringtone?  If this is truly the case then there should be a disclaimer in iTunes stating that fact. 
    I also discovered while following instructions from another post, that the song I just downloaded today is not under the "purchased" section of my iTunes account, yet it is in my music library.  Huh??  How can that be?  Is it because I've changed the format from m4a to m4r and it's now different than what I purchased? 
    I'm so confused and think I may have to resign myself to re-purchasing a lesser liked ringtone from the same song directly from my iPhone.  

  • How do I create a ringtone?

    I downloaded itunes 7.4 I can NOT find the option to create a ringtone.
    Some help please.
    thanks
    bruce

    that service isnt turned on yet... he said in the keynote that while they shipped the itunes software that would enable this feature, the feature itself will not be turned on until sometime next week. Why it was so urgent that they push it a week ahead of time? i dont know... probably because they figured they could spread the server demand out... 1,000,000 iphone customers + the normal people upgrading itunes... if you did it all in 1 night... their servers would likely crash. so they need a ramp up period.

    Yes, the file extension is M4R.  Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook?  I then opened them in Itunes and played them.  I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes).  When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty.  Thanks in advance for your help.

  • 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

  • Can't see the 'Buy' icon after creating a ringtone

    When creating a rington on my laptop, which is where I have my primary library, I cannot see or click on the 'Buy' icon. I am unable to drag anything on the screen to move that box so that I can buy the ringtone. When I do this on a different pc I do not have this problem, but I need to use my laptop since one cannot evidently load a ringtone from one pc without clearing everything else on your iPhone. Help!

    Change your laptop's display settings to 1024x768 in the Control Panel.

  • Can't create a ringtone on itunes

    When ever I try to create a ringtone a window pops up that says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. an unknown error occurred (11556)". but my internet connection is working fine, any help would be appreciated.

    Well, thanks very much, Roaminggnome!
    It would have been nice of the brains at Apple (iTunes Dept) to have designed it better with the rest of the world's customers in mind wouldn't it? It's basic good manners to produce a version for their customers who DON"T live in the USA? Or at least have the brains and the manners to design the error message to say something like:
    "Sorry, this service is only available in the US at the moment. We hope to release the service in your country in the very near future. Apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment caused"
    Or are they just trying to be like Microsoft again?

  • Can't "Sign in to create new ringtone" on iTunes...

    Trying to create a ringtone in iTunes...after clicking on the bell icon, the ringtone editor begins to load, the Sign-In window appears (I'm already signed into my iTunes account BTW), and when I enter my account password (again), it fails and the Sign-In window reappears. This is when attempting to use a song that is already a purchased track in my Library...what's up with this?

  • How to create a F4 help for a report selection screen field

    hi,
    can any one guide me to create F4 help for a field in a selection screen in a report program,plz give me a sample code

    hi,
    Here are the following ways
    1.with the help of match code objects we can create the F4 Functionality for Field.
    Syntax is :
    PARAMETERS: p_org LIKE t527x-orgeh MATCHCODE OBJECT zorg.
    2. One more thing is we can do it with Search Help's also.
    3. Even we can do it HELP Views also.
    Help Views:
    You have to create a help view if a view with outer join is needed as selection method of a search help
    The selection method of a search help is either a table or a view. If you have to select data from several tables for the search help, you should generally use a database view as selection method. However, a database view always implements an inner join. If you need a view with outer join for the data selection, you have to use a help view as selection method.
    All the tables included in a help view must be linked with foreign keys. Only foreign keys that have certain attributes can be used here. The first table to be inserted in the help view is called the primary table of the help view. The tables added to this primary table with foreign keys are called secondary tables.
    The functionality of a help view has changed significantly between Release 3.0 and Release 4.0. In Release 3.0, a help view was automatically displayed for the input help (F4 help) for all the fields that were checked against the primary table of the help view. This is no longer the case in Release 4.0.
    As of Release 4.0, you must explicitly create a search help that must be linked with the fields for which it is offered (see Linking Search Helps with Screen Fields ).
    Existing help views are automatically migrated to search helps when you upgrade to a release higher than 4.0.
    A help view implements an outer join, i.e. all the contents of the primary table of the help view are always displayed. You therefore should not formulate a selection condition for fields in one of the secondary tables of the help view. If records of these secondary tables cannot be read as a result of this selection condition, the contents of the corresponding fields of the secondary table are displayed with initial value.
