Creating a Ringtone in the UK

It seems despite trying to create a ringtone with songs bought from itunes I am unable to do it.
I keep getting a error message "cannot connect to Store"
Are we able to do this in the UK?

Well, here it is ..it's an .m4r ringtone, and it plays beautifully on my 1st generation iPhone.
I just followed the instructions and they worked: I edited it in GarageBand, to make a 30-second clip, and saved it as a Ringtone to iTunes:
Then I sync'ed the iPhone, and then chose the new Ringtone as my default ringtone.
I just followed the instructions..

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why is this?

    When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why dont they display in the 'tones' tab in itunes?  How can I get them to display under 'tones' not 'music'.

    Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
    Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
    But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
    And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
    It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
    Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.

  • I'm having trouble with custom ringtones.  I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones.  I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes.  My Itunes does not have a ringtone tab.  I can not sync the ringtones.

    I'm having trouble with custom ringtones.  I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones.  I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes.  My Itunes library does not have a ringtones tab.  I can not sync the ringtones (or I don't know how)!  Please help.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Creating a ringtone with iTunes (after song selection) is difficult!

    Hey-
    I'm having an issue with creating ringtones using the built in ringtone maker in iTunes after purchasing a eligable track from the iTunes store. There are some ringtones that I found on the iTunes store. There is one purchase where you get 6 seperate ringers (but in one audio file). I place the slider bars at the beginning of the ringer I want and then at the end of that ringer. When I go to play it back to make sure I'm getting what I want, it's not playing the correct ringer that it should be playing, but rather either the first ringer, or the 4th ringer...very odd! I know how to 'trim' clips as I do this daily with Windows Movie Maker...left slider starts at where you want the tune to start, the right slider stops at where you want the tune to end...very simple! Yet with the ringtone maker built into iTunes, it doesn't seem to work that way at all.
    The tune that I am referring to is called "6 (or six) business ringtones" in iTunes (just do a search it will pop up)! It is one audio file, with 6 different ringtones in the file, the total file length is like 30 seconds (give or take). Well I like the 2nd ringtone. So after I bought the file, I then went into the ringtone maker in iTunes and dragged the slidders where the 2nd ringtone starts and ends, I then play it back but it doesn't play what I trimmed. Instead it plays other parts of the file (as in the 5th and 6th ringers or the 1st ringers or it starts playing the end of the 1st ringer and combines it into the 2nd ringer that I want. It doesn't seem to do what it's suppose to do and it's really starting to tick me off! I have all these charges from the iTunes store where I have been repeating trying to make the file because it's not working correctly and I'm getting all these charges on my credit card. All I want is for the ringtone maker to work correctly and make my tone as I'm telling it to do, but it won't. Does anyone know how to make this darn thing work correctly? If it wasn't for the file being DRM'd, I would drag it into my own program and do it myself with something I know works correctly. This clearly does not work correctly.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Can you record sounds and save as a ringtone with the IPhone4?

    I'm new to the IPhone. All other phones I' ve used in the past I could save sounds and use them as a ringtone. I just can't seem to figure it out with the I4. Can it be done?

    You can record sounds with the Voice Memos app, then sync them to your computer by selecting "Include voice memos" on the Music tab of y0ur iTunes sync settings and syncing your phone.  Once synced to your computer they will appear in a Voice Memos playlist that iTunes creates on the left sidebar.  Then you have to convert it to a ringtone using iTunes as shown here: Create free ringtones with iTunes 10.  After this is done, you can check the ringtone in your iTunes library, then check Sync Tones on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.  Custom ringtones will appear in Settings>Sounds>Ringtone at the top of the list.

  • How can i import an mp3 to a Notification Ringtone under the "Sound Settings"?

    how can i import an mp3 to a Notification Ringtone under the "Sound Settings"? (i can do it to "Phone Ringtones" easy, but not Notifactions)

    This might work as well and will allow drag and drop of mp3 files. This is written as if the phone is connected to the computer.
    In the sd card, check if there is a folder called media. In the media folder verify or create a folder called audio. Within the audio folder create the following folders: alarms, notifications, and ringtones. These should be typed exactly as written. Copy or move the files into the folder you want them in. Disconnect the phone from the computer and let the remount the sd card. Now go into your notification or ringtones list. The files you put into the individual folders should automatically be there.
    I know that this works on the Eris and I got the method back when only the eris and droid 1 was available. I just can't remember exactly where I got it. Hopefully it also works for the Droid 1.

    Be nice please.

  • 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!
