How can I synch a ringtone with iTunes Match

Hi all,
I am using iTunes Match and I've made a song into a ringtone.
I see the song in my iTunes in a folder named "ringtones" so I suspect Apple recognises it as a ringtone.
When I synch my iPhone (5s) however, I can't find the ringtone in my iPhone.
So either I'm searching in the wrong place, or it isn't synchronised.
Because I am using iTunes Match for my music, I suspect that could be causing the problem.
Any tips?
Best regards,
Peter

I've tried to follow the step-by-step guide.
However, I don't have the option "Creat AAC version". When I go and check via Finder, my songs already are AAC version. So I made a copy of the song in question in finder, I've double-clicked it to open in iTunes and then I adapted the playing time to 27 seconds. Afterwards I copied it my desktop, deleted the file in iTunes and changed the extension on the desktop to m4r.
When I check it in Finder, it says in the properties "ringtone" (while my other music is "Apple MPEG-4-audio"), which leads me to assume that iTunes does indeed recognizes it as a ringtone. Is this a correct assumption or not?
In the iTunes tab ringtones however, nothing appears. When I synch there's no ringtone on my iPhone.

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.

    how can i sync ipad1/iphone4 with itunes wirelessly using airport extreme network

    Hi,
    This is currently not supported by iOS for any devices. Rumour is that iOS 5 will finally add this function, until then I'm afraid you are stuck with the good old cable.

  • IPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes.

    My iPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes. The error message says that the files were not transfered because they can't be read on my device.  I'm not able to transfer any mp4 files, either.  These are my own short animations, small files (under 2MB). Home sharing is on.  I'm trying to synch with the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.  Thanks.

    See:

    Yo may have to use a third-party computer program like HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible withthe iPod

  • How can I see what is on iTunes match

    how can I see what is on iTunes match?

    Hi,
    Open iTunes on your computer, add iCloud status to song view. This will tell you if a track has been matched, uploaded or purchased.
    If you have match turned on on your phone you will see all the music that you have in the cloud.

  • How or can you sync older ipods with Itunes Match?

    How or can I sync my second generation IPod with ITunes Match?

    For iPods, iTunes Match only works with iPod touch, because it is an iOS device (like iPhone and iPad).  Even for iPod touch, it must be 3rd or 4th gen (running iOS 5 or later).

  • HT204406 Hard Drive wiped out - Can I rebuild the library with iTunes Match?

    My hard drive and external back of my entire music library (15,000+ songs) were completely deleted. I would like to recover this in some way other than loading each single CD one at a time again. I have iTunes Match so I was wondering if there is someway for me to rebuild my library via download from the cloud or something so that I can maintain a new physical copy of the files on my computer again? Or will I have to do this from my iPod?

    Hello Mclary101,
    Thanks for your question! Im sorry to hear about your computer but it sounds like you had iTunes Match turned on before this happened. You should be able to use this article to get your music in iTunes Match re downloaded:
    iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
    To add a computer to iTunes Match
    Open the latest version of iTunes on the computer you intend to add. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    Sign in with the Apple ID you use with iTunes Match.
    Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
    Click the Add This Computer button.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID password.
    iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
    A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
    Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    I do have two ID accounts, USA and MEXICO, just the one in Mexico is activated with iTunes Match, last week I was in USA and i bought 1 cd, when i tryied to find my music (Mexicos ID) there was no music, I checked at the config and activated again de Mexico´s ID and the iTunes Match... the the CD was gone. I logged to my US ID again, purchased again the cd (it just download) and I sync to my computer and I said that I have to copy the CD manually (I don´t know how) and when i tried to activate my Mexico´s account it appearead a message that I have to wait 90 days. IT IS THE SAME IPHONE!!!! Why do I have to wait 90 days to get mi iTunes Match music in the device i got it?!?!?!?!?!?!

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    You must wait the 90 days.

  • I can't sync iPod classic with iTunes Match since I have updated to iTunes 11

    When I open iTunes (11) and connect my iPod (classic) it does not recognise the device.  I am using iTunes Match.   My question is how do I transfer the music from PC to my iPod?  I just bought a new PC and thought getting Match would be useful and save time transferring from my old PC.  It was fine to begin with until the iTunes 11 update.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    The iPod classic not bring recognized is unrelated to iTunes Match. You should post this problem to either the iPod Classic forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_classic or the iTunes for Windows forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows. Probably the former.
    FYI it is only iOS devices that cannot be synced via USB with iTunes Match enabled.

  • How can I get round problem with itunes. I get message saying computer isnt authorised to play some tracks Ive downloaded, tells me to authorise which I do, then a message appears saying the computer is already authorised but I still cant access the track

    how can I get round the problem I have with itunes. I have bought and downloaded various tracks to my library. When I try to sync my iphone from my PC I get a message on screen saying that it is not authorised to play them and tells me to authorise the computer by clicking store, entering apple id and password then clicking authorise this computer. I do that then get a message saying that my computer is already authorised yet when I try syncing the track again the same thihng happens. Im getting nowhere!

    If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
