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.

  • Create ringtones with itunes bug

    Hello,
    I want to create some ringtones with the music than I buy, but when I launch the application (right clic on the music choose, create ringtone...), I have a message "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)".
    Yet I come to connect to the iTunes store and download some music, podcast, so I don't see where is the problem.
    Can you help me please?
    ps : I'm french, and I'm not very good in english so sorry for the english faults.

    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.

  • HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

    I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

    Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
    Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

  • 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?

  • Iphone does not sync ringtone with itunes

    My iphone 4 does not sync ringtone with itunes. I created a new ringtone in itunes ( file.m4r) , tagged it and started syncing with my iphone, but the new ringtone does not show among the ringtones in my iphone

    Now it works, don't know how, but iot works, since I changed into sync manually started a sync process unsuccessfully and get back to re-sync automatically.
    Used sync all ring tones instead of sync selected ones, but I tried this before and it did not work.
    Very strange, should have been this change, otherwise I really dont't know why it works now and not before

  • 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.  

  • 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...

  • Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

    Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod.  How can I get them back on ipod??  They are showing in music library on itunes still.

    If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
    Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
    And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
    No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

    My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7.  There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

    99% because your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken. We cannot help you, see terms of use.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the software for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version isn't supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you're now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
