How do I get the albums created on my iPhone5 to show up on my Macbook Pro in iPhoto?

Have an album I created on my iPhone5 that I want to be able to see all those photos on my MacBook Pro in iPhoto. But when I have my iPhone connected (wirelessly) to iTunes, and iPhoto open, I can't for the life of me figure out how to seamlessly merge the iPhone album so I can have easy access in iPhoto. I can't find photo stream anywhere in iPhoto (it's not showing up on the side menu bar, have already looked). Any other suggestions? I would think this should be an easy fix, but can't for the life of me figure it out.
Thanks for the help

How are you "creating the album" on the iPhone 5?
As to PhotoStream that feature is not supported in OS X 10.6.8 - see this page for requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

Problem creating ringtones - "song no longer available" - PLEASE HELP!

I want to create a couple of ringtones from iTunes I downloaded. First I tried making one from a song contained in an album I bought and downloaded about a month or two ago. iTunes wouldn't let me (for whatever reason) so I bought and downloaded a new song. once it was in my "purchased" folder I added it to a songlist and then right-clicked it and selected "Create Ringtone." I was told I needed to go to the "Terms and Conditions" and accept the "ringtones" agreement, which I did. once I clicked "I accept" I was automatically redirected back to the song list that contained the song- there was never any option or utility to continue (after accepting the terms and conditions) on and make a ringtone from the song.
NOW, when I right-click the song and select "create ringtone" I get a pop-up box that says that "this song can +*no longer*+ be made into a ringtone!" WHAT is the deal? What did I do wrong?
Can someone tell me, step-by-step how to download a song and create a ringtone from it for my iPhone? Is there a tutorial with screenshots anywhere? Somone PLEASE help me out- I cant afford to keep buying songs just to try and figure this out on my own.
Thanks.
Nick
P.S. On the iTunes webpage it said that songs that can be made into ringtones will have a ringtone icon next to them in my iTunes library; but that's not happening- even with the new song I just downloaded.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click '''Check for Updates''' -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

ITunes Created Ringtones No Longer Playing

All of the sudden for no reason at all (i.e., I haven't damaged, added to or subtracted from apps, etc) the custom ringtones I made in iTunes are not playing on my iPhone. If I choose them in the settings menu, all I get is silence. I've got customs ringtones I created in Garageband that still work fine as do all the stock ringtones on the phone.
The iTunes ringtones show up and play fine in iTunes. They show as synced to the phone. I've restored the phone OS three times without using a backup so it would be fresh. This is FRUSTRATING! Anyone have any ideas?

Okay, I completely removed iTunes and reinstalled. Re-imported my library of music/podcasts in a completely recreated iTunes library file AND still my iTunes created ringtones (THAT I PAID FOR) don't play. They are silent on the iPhone. They play in iTunes but not the phone.
Any ideas? This is sickening.
Is there any way a hardware issue would cause this? I would think if it plays some music, it must be software. I just have no idea where to look now.

ITunes will not create Ringtone - iTunes Library is on ext hard drive

I see the bell in iTunes, iTunes analyzed my library to identify ringtonable songs but when I click to Create Ringtone it processes then doesn't do anything. I keep my library on an external hard drive to allow for my wife to connect to it at will. Must the library be local to store the ringtones?

I have the same issue. It looks like it will create it then just quits.

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?

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

Problems with 'Create Ringtone' Function in iTunes

I am using an iPhone, connected to iTunes 7.5(19) on a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.4.11 Within iTunes there is the option to 'Create Ringtone' which as I understand it, should be selected once a song has been selected within the iTunes window (ie one that has already been purchased). When I do this, I get the message "ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store" - this is confusing as I can successfully connect to the iTunes store from iTunes to do all the usual things I would normally do in linking to the store. Any insights/suggested fixes would be appreciated as I have drawn a blank with everything that I have tried to do to solve this.

I have exactly the same problem with a new imac and iphone. itunes have been unable to help. Have you solved it problem yet?

Ringtones - I cannot get the Create Ringtone editor to open

I click on the Bell but no editor opens. I try to find Create Rington in the menu and I cannot find it. I have the latest version of iTunes. What am I doing wrong. I have purchased the songs I want to have as ringtones but they just won't work.
I am so frustrated! HELP!

Thank you. You have validated what I finally figured out. I purchased the song I wanted as a ringtone. It did have the bell so it was available. The song downloaded and I did a sync on my phone. Still no ringtone. I finally did go to the purchased folder under Store in the left navigation window. I found the song I wanted to create as a ringtone and I did a right click. Sure enough in the window was the Create Ringtone option. I had to sign into the store again and agree to the terms. Then I had to right click and select Create Ringtone again. Then the editor came up and I was able to create and purchase my ringtone. Hurray!

Create ringtones

I want to put some ringtones on my iphone. I've looked through all the support info. I go to itunes. Some of the menu commands are black (useable) and some are grey (not an option). Under the "store" tab - the "create ringtones" command is grey and therefore it won't let me select it. I have done everything I can think of, but itunes won't let me create ringtones. Any ideas or help?

Apparently, you can only create ringtones from 'approved' songs that you have purchased from the iTunes store. Not all iTunes-purchased songs are available as ringtones, and you cannot do it if you imported them from a CD. I guess that is some of the deals Apple has struck.

"Create Ringtone" option is dithered--can't purchase ringtones at all

I want to purchase a ringtone. I highlight the song I want to buy--it has a bell--but when I go up to Store---the "create ringtone" option is dithered--don't have the option to buy it. What is up?
Message was edited by: ErinFG

You have to buy the song first, then you can buy the ringtone for songs where ringtones are available (easiest to do that from your Purchased playlist). Also, note that ringtones are only available when logged into the US iTunes Store (check the popup menu at the bottom of the main page of the iTunes Store).

I can't create ringtones

When I click on a purchased song to create a ringtone, an error box tells me I must AGREE to Apple's Terms of Service and tells me to click OK to redirect. When I click OK nothing happens. When I go manually to the Terms of Service it does not give me a box to click AGREE.

aangelaa,
hope this helps. this is in a different thread, and i cannot take credit for the instructions...i wish i could remember who took the time to make this AWESOME list of instructions, by far the easiest way to create ringtones from any song...for free. Thank you!
enjoy

I found this way to create ringtones in a previous discussion and think it is the easiest way to do it
1. Open iTunes Library
2. Double click on the song you want to turn into a ringtone. Listen to the song and write down the approximate start and end times of the section you want to save as a ringtone, up to 40 seconds long.
3. Once you have determined the approximate start and end times, pause the playback of the song, right click on the song, and select "Get Info", then "Options".
4. Add a check to the Start Time box and type in the approximate start time. Then add a check to the Stop Time box and type in the stop time. Exit the Options section by clicking OK.
5. Still in iTunes Library, double click the song again to listen and verify that the start and stop times are eorrect. If the times need a slight adjustment, repeat steps 4 and 5 until you are satisfied.
6. Right click on the song again and select "Convert selection to AAC". This will create a new, separate, shortened song with the same name at the top of the iTunes library.
7. Right click on the new shortened song and select "Show in Windows Explorer". The title will appear in Explorer followed by _1.m4a . (If you don't see the file name extention ".m4a" in Explorer, you will need to go to Control panel (Classic view), Folder Options, View, and then uncheck the box next to "Hide extensions for known file types").
8. Right click on the songtitle_1.m4a file in Explorer and select Rename. Change the file name extension "m4a" to "m4r" and press Enter. You will get a warning about changing the file name extension, but click YES.
9. Now stay in that same Windows Explorer window and double click the new .m4r song. Instantly, iTunes will pop up, the song will appear in Ringtones, and it will start playing. (If it doesn't, try adding a "Ringtones" folder in "iTunes Music" directory.
10. Sync your iPhone with the computer and the new ringtone will appear under the Custom section.
Hope this helps.

ITunes 8.0: no "create ringtone" option

Howdy, first posting, hope I'm not too much of an idiot, but: I've upgraded to iTunes 8.0. When I select a song that has a "bell" icon, if I click on it, it gives me the "help" menu about creating a ringtone...but it won't actually create a ringtone. If I go to the "store" menu, the "create ringtone" option can't be accessed. I'm in the USA and my computer seems to know that, and I've downloaded ringtones in prior versions of iTunes. Many thanks in advance for answers.

Yeah, I seem to be having the same problem. The bell icon is next to the song, I click it and I keep getting the instructions. Not the box on the bottom to create the ringtone. Also in "Store", create ringtone is greyed out, not giving me that option. Wondering if there is a workaround or solution to this.
