Create Ringtones in iTunes 10- AAC Version greyed out

Need assistance creating ringtones in iTunes 10:
I have iTunes 10 on a Windows PC. I went into Preferences, General, IMPORT SETTINGS and set it to AAC Encoder and HIGH QUALITY (128 bkps) and checked the Error Correction.
The AAC Version in the ADVANCED drop down is still showing as being GREYED out after selecting an MP3 with 0 and 30 seconds as the time limits in GET INFO for a song.
I have searched for a possible "fix" to get the AAC Version to be available. Nothing works so far. HELP!!
[email protected]

I had the same problem until I realized that I first need to buy the song and then create the ringtone from the already purchased song. The instructions could have been made clearer on this, and it would be great if you could use the ring tone creation tool to check if the song really fits before you buy the song…
Good luck

Creating ringtones from itunes iPhone 5?

The name of the folder shown on the left under Library changed to Tones recently but I thought the tab at the top, while syncing, still said Ringtones. I guess I'm not sure. At any rate there are many youtube videos that will walk you through this if you want to check to be sure you are doing it correctly. Here's one I picked at random: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwXUM2kCfig.

My most recent iTunes library is now greyed out

My most recent iTunes library is now greyed out when I try to select it when opening iTunes with the option key. I had just made a backup (different name) now I can't open the original. Other previous iTunes libraries are available but some are also greyed out and cannot be selected. Other questions about this all seem to refer to the song files themselves which are fine in my case, I have 15000 songs so I have many playlists that i don't want to have to recreate. Thanks for your time.

I recalled after I posted this that the correct term for this is subdued and not greyed out. I tried a solution provided in another link to highlight the file name and choose open. A window came up showing that I was opening iTunes for the first time so my library file seems to be from a previous version (I was using 10.7). Howerver, another window comes up showing that the file cant be opened because it was made with a newer version of iTunes. Is there any trick to solving this files identity crisis? Thanks again.

Why can I not buy Outlander in iTunes? button is greyed out.

why can I not buy Outlander in iTunes? button is greyed out.
I searched for the program, found it, but the buy button is totally unresponsive. Other some other programs work, others do not.

Is this the film Outlander ? If it is then it's rated 15 here in the UK - do you have an age rating set in the Parental tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) that is protecting the buy button ?

Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

Purchases on iphone or ipad are shown in itunes on my PC (greyed out) but are not transferred

Exactly. The transfer job starts, collects the information on new purchases ans finishes without any error messages. New files are shown in itunes with the 'sync' icon on the left and are greyed out ... it is the same with puchases (movies and tv shows only!) on my iphone 4 and ipad2.

My iPad appears in iTunes but it is greyed out.

my iPad appears in itunes but it is greyed out and then iTunes times it out. I know iTunes is working because my iPod syncs no problems. Can anyone help. I have deleted iTunes and re-installed and I have turned my iPad on and off while pluggedin. I have also deleted the iPad from devices on my computer but nothing seems to work.

These are the minimum system requirements for syncing and using an iPad with iTunes.

Create AAC version grayed out iTunes 11

Hi!
I am running in Mavericks, iTunes 11. I have a song that I would like to convert to ringtone for my iPhone 5S.
I have followed the preliminary steps:
And I have made sure I have the proper Import settings:
However, when I go to File > Create New Version, the Create AAC Version option is grayed out:
I have tried both songs purchased through iTunes and songs I previously had, non-protected. The song is correctly highlighted. Has any of you faced this same issue? How did you resolve it?
Thanks in advance!

Why can't some one explain this problem clearly even from apple guys. ClaraMGR i know your problem clearly.
Latest I tunes can't convert your mp3 to ACC even if you change the extension from mp3 to ACC it wont allow you to drop in the tones.
This is not easy task, am computer tech guy i know how things works but i always ended up fighting with user interface with iTunes its very complected for general users. I spend almost a half day to figure out whats wrong with it. finally made my own crack. Am still not sure if this is right way but 100 percent it works not matter what your format is.
I imagine you Followed all this steps.
1. iTunes preffs > General. Click the Import Setings button and set it to AAC.
2. Make sure iTunes prefs > General has Tones ticked
3. This is the key point you need some converter mp3 to AAC i used soundforge open a mp3 in soundforge got to file save as AAC/MP4
4. rename the saved AAC to m4r. IF you don't see the extension type in to youtube unhide extension in windows.
5. Drag and drop the file in to itunes tone and go enable the itunes tone sync and click the sync it will convert the file to ringtone and puts in to your itunes tone folder automatically you done. Thats all i hope this will help some one.
6. got to iphone>general>sounds you will see your file on the top
Why this is not a one click button , Would be a lot easier if drag the file and right click convert to tone job done right. Why would some one make this so complected to spend days to figure out this is not a some thing we are achieving this is just a insane why would we spend hours of our valuable time to make ringtone this way. this isn't a one thing even i don't know how to grab my own photos from my iPhone its like am running circles around again and gain got nothing. Itunes is not user friendly, I really don't know how itunes software development user testing tools were implemented its pathetic. Even when i open to buy a apps thats insane shocking i never open that again, i dont find any proper apps, none of them is user friendly its so confusing that freaks me out spending my time on it, Am big fan of apple but am trying to convince my self with itunes but nooooooooooooooo its not easy and i got no time for thisssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Creating Ringtones on itunes for iPhone

I have been trying to create ringtones for my iPhone from itunes.
But every time I try ti great it, it comes up with an unknow error 1156. and says that itunes cannot connect to itunes store.
Is anyone else is also facing this problem?

This worked for me...
In iTunes, right click on the song you are going to make into a ringer and select “Get Info.”
Go to the options tab and go down to the “Start Time” and “Stop Time” check boxes. Check both boxes and input the time you want your ringtone to start/stop. The ringtone has to be 30 seconds or less. Click OK when you’re done.
Right click on your newly “clipped” song and select “Convert Selection to AAC.” The song will be re-encoded using the start and stop times determined (If your menu item does not read “Convert Selection to AAC” and reads “Convert Slection to MP3″ (or some other format) please go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing and change the “Import Using” drop down menu to “AAC Encoder”).
After the song is done encoding navigate to your iTunes Music folder, locate your song, and drag it to your desktop. After the song is on your desktop go back to iTunes and delete the clipped version from you iTunes library (It won’t delete it from your desktop, it will only remove it from iTunes).
Go back the song on your desktop and right click on your song and chose “Get info.” Go to the name and extension section and change the extension from .m4a to .m4r (or you can just change the extension right from your desktop)
After the extension is changed simply double click on the file to add it to your iTunes library under the ringtones section. Sync your phone with iTunes and you’re done!
What you need to do is turn on "View File Extensions" under your folder view options.
Then go to your desktop right-click, rename and change the .m4a to .m4r and sey yes when it asks if youre sure.

Problems creating ringtones in iTunes 9.0.2 and 9.0.3

I have had problems creating ringtones for my iPhone in iTunes versions 9.0.2 and 9.0.3. When I select "create ringtone" when right clicking on a song, iTunes brings up the bar at the bottom for creating ringtones then says...
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unexpected error occurred (11556). Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
1. My network connection is active. 2. I am logged into my iTunes store account.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and better how to fix it?

You can buy them from the iphone itself. Instructions can be found in the manual:

There are many ways to make ringtones. Google "iphone ringtone" and you will find instructions.

How to create ringtones with itunes?

ok how do i go about creating ringtones with the music in my playlists in itunes? and how do i transfer ringtones that are on my computer to the ringtone library?

Everyone seems to have their way to make a ringtone. There are aspects of Garage Band which I find cumbersome, but you need Garage Band to create and transfer your ringtone to your iTunes library. Try this.
1. Download and install Audion 3, a free Mac mp3 editor (http://www.panic.com/Audion/
2. Open Audion 3, then under File go to "open mp3 in editor.
3. Navigate to your song via home/music/itunes/itunes music to the folder and then mp3 you want to make into a ringtone
4. Identify which brief section you want for your ringtone, say from 22 seconds to 52 seconds of the song, drag and highlight that section in the mp3 editor, then under Edit click on Copy.
5. Go back to Audion 3 and under File click on New mp3 editor. Paste your saved file into that space. Under File again click Save As, give it a name and the suffix .mp3, save to your desktop.
6. Open Garage Band, iPhone ringtones, loops, choose
7. Delete anything which Garage put in main space, then drag your mp3 into that space. After it sets up, go to share and send ringtone to iTunes.
8. Sync. Be sure your check Sync all Ringtones, otherwise you have to individually click on your new rintone.

Created ringtone, but itunes created a Tones folder instead of Ringtones

I created a ringtone by cutting a song up into a 29 sec. clip. converted to .m4r and synced with my iphone. itunes and the phone created a Tones folder and put the file there, but there is no Ringtones folder and I cannot find the tone on the phone to choose as a ringtone or sms tone.

Yes, I have it set to sync everything. When the iphone was docked it syncd and downloaded the newly purchased tone onto my PC itunes. Looking at the the Tones folder while docked in itunes and I can see both files in the Tones folder of the iphone and the PC. I've scrolled through the whole list of tones and do not see my created ringtone at all.
i know I have gotten it onto the phone. When I first created the ringtone and syncd the iphone it created the Tones folder on the phone and I immediately saw the ringtone on the phone.
I assume that there is something wrong with the file that I created like the bitrate or filesize that is keeping the iphone from recognizing it. I have not had trouble with this in the past though.
I used a 3rd party program to cut up the song to make the ringtone as I always have. Should I try to use itunes to make the ringtone?

How to create ringtones through itunes on mac computer?

Okay so,
I've made ringtones before but it's been awhile and I know there used to be an option once you purchased the song that from there you could create a ringtone on your computer through itunes and pay 99c for it or whatever but I can't for the life of me find any option on how to create a ringtone. I've searched throughout itunes and looked through the FAQ and support and NOTHING talks about it except for on the iphone there is a section for ringtones but the selection seems extremely limited. Someone please help?

Type "create iphone ringtone in itunes" into the google search bar.
There are several ways to make ringtones.
I prefer garageband.
