How Can You Tell if a Song You WANT to Purchase can be a Ringtone?

Sorry, I would have posted this in the iTunes folder, but it's not allowing me to post there for some reason.
Anyways, does anyone know how you can tell if a song you WANT to purchase is available as a ringtone? I know that if you already have purchased songs then your library will have a ringtone column which let's you know if the song is available as a ringtone. What I specifically want to know is if there is any way to find out if a song you WANT to purchase is availble as ringtone BEFORE you purchase it. I have all appropriate ringtone boxes checked off in preferences and "view preferences." However, when I go to the iTunes store, none of the songs in the store have any information on whether or not they are available as ringtones. I don't want to buy a song, especially if I'm just getting it for ringtone purposes, and then find out that it's not available as a ringtone.
And yes, I have the latest version of iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. With the purchase of my iPhone I am a first time user of iTunes (I used to use only Rhapsody and Napster). So far iTunes has been a challenge to use. I'm trying to get used to it, but it's difficult. And it seems like basic information, such as if a song is available as a ringtone before purchase, is not easily forthcoming.
Anyways, thanks to all if you have any suggestions.

Okay, I don't know why, but the bell was not showing on the iTunes store. I re-checked "ringtones" on the view preferences and reloaded iTunes and now the bell column is there. Thanks to the both of you.
BTW, there aren't very many songs available for rintones are there? I really miss Cingular's media.net. There's no reason why we shouldn't be able to access that. Media.net has way more options for ringtones then iTunes.

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

  • How do you delete a purchased song that doesn't have a delete option when swiping?  This was a freebie when I first purchased my pad

    How do you delete a purchased song that doesn't give you the delete option when swiping?  This was a free song when I first got my pad. Now I can't delete it. I only get the play option, or to download it again.  The song is "Twinkling Lights", I think that's right.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I think it is in the cloud, so how do I delete it?  Also, I have IOS 7.1.1

  • I am facing 'How do you want to use this disc' whenever I read/open any lightscribe discs having data.

    Hi,
    When I insert a lightscribe DVD/CD into a lightscribe optical drive, then when I click to open the DVD, I faced this error 'How  do you want to use this disc', although the DVD was full of data. When opening these 
    lightscribe DVD/CD via NON lightscribe optical drive, I noticed that the DVD/CD  opened well without any problems at all.
    Also, how can the System show to me 'How  do you want to use this disc' , in particular when  a DVD is non rewritable(DVD-R) and also contains data)?
    Bear in mind, not all DVDs/CDs were not detected. However, only full lightscribe discs' (having data)
    However, even blank lightscribe discs were detected without problems. When insert a lightscribe disc having data, then I faced that error. However, when inserting  blank lightscribe discs I found that the disc were opened.  Also,
    non lightscribe discs were opened well.
    When checking the device manager, I didn't see any issue with DVD/CD drive. If there were a problem unrecongnising, then I would have seen 'a remarkable mark' in front of it.
    Note: I have faced this problem after trying formating a rewritable CD inserted onto the drive. Althouthg the format failed, all data on the disc was deleted. Anyway, after that, then inserting full-lightscribe  discs are unregonised
    Do you think the problem wth my optical drive. IF so, I would be saying why it wasn't happened with all other non lightscribe discs. If my lightscrib discs were corrupted, then why would they have opened well on another laptop.
    I have done:
    Press the Windows logo key+R to open the Run dialog box.
    Type devmgmt.msc in the Run dialog box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
    In Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the CD and DVD devices, and then clickUninstall.
    When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.
    Restart the computer.
    But the same prolbem is existing.
    yes there is a virtual CloneDrive program installed on my PC, however, there is no any CD mounted into it. Even if a CD was mounted into Virtual Clondrive, there would be no problem at all, because the virtual CloneDrive is used to only
      mount ISO disc images into it, and not physical discs.
    Any I have do what you have said, when inserting a light-scribe disc having data, then I open it, I found this
    NOTE: in the above screen shot there is a lightscribe DVD having data inserted. However, in the screen shot below, there  a ightsrbe DVD not having data inserted. In the first screen shot, the disc is not reconginsed by Windows, however, in
    the second is recognised. 
    Even when I have inserted a lightscribe disc not having data(empty), it opened well regardless of  what virutal CloneDrive is enabled or disabled.
    But when cliced on my problem didn't solve,
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

    Hi,
    The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
    Notebook PC support
    The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
    Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
    out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
    FIRST OF ALL:
    My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
    My
    sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
    My HP lapotp is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop,
    which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is
    always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to
    the main power supply.
    However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is
    kept from the dust.
    But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop
    still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is
    not oproperly preporly.
    I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I
    charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then
    when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it
    after storing,I found it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it
    lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only
    lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
    the computer shuts down suddenly.
    My problem is follows:::
    First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR Data
    CD/DVD-R LightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
    unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive
    'duble-click', then I find that disc opens as this way(NOT: With a CD/DVD player
    is grayed out)
    Blank Or Used CD, DVD±R,RW lightscirbe is unable to be
    read:(clicking on it let it Open like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD player:
    NOTE: with CD/DVD Player is grayed out)
    Used CD/DVD±R/RW Non-LightScribe disc opens normal:
    Blank CD,DVD±R,RW Non-LightScribe opens normal(Opens like a USB FlashDrive or
    With a CD,DVD)::

    I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk
    /r /f'
    I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
    I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
    I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software which
    came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
    I have recovered my system from the Factory Recovery discs.
    I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical
    drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell
    optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor third party disc
    recording software
    However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE
    Thus, my questions are:
    How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with
    another one.
    I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP
    laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical
    drive which is as follows:::(ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of
    My Desktop Computer) ---while my optical drive of my desktop was connected to
    the primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the
    primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning
    well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5,
    something went wrong, and then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer
    (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOT recognised/Installed on
    BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a
    recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a
    disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it
    opened empty(no files at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot
    to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was
    still shown as installed on BIOS. However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried
    clicking on it on BIOS and then clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be
    re-recognized. However, that made no difference. I had to take part my computer
    ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto the secondary slave
    IDE , and let HDD connected to the same primary master IDE.
    Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs became being read
    normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS]]]

    How much does it cost?

  • How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID?

    How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID? A good example is if you are forced to change your email, which you use as your Apple ID.  what if it is a security app and you lose a lot of data if you lose the app? Why are the apps tied to the Apple ID rather than the user? Why is it impossible to globally change the Apple I D?

    All content is tied to the account, but you can change the primary email address on an account e.g. you can log into your account via the Store > View Account on your computer's iTunes and there should be an Edit button to the right of your account id on your account's page, or similarly on your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and view your account. Or you can update it by logging into it via this page http://appleid.apple.com . You shouldn't lose any content on the account if you update it.
    After updating the account you may need to log out of your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version for it to be 'refreshed' on it

  • How do you print your purchase history from itunes?????

    how do you print your purchase history from itunes???  why is the "print" function grayed out????  so frustrating

    There is no way to print the Purchase History as a list. You'll have to do a screen capture instead and print that. If you have purchases that span across multiple panes in the Purchase History, you'll have to do a screen capture of each. Of you can print the receipts that should have been emailed to you.

    You could also download the Ringtone Maker all for iPhone in the AppStore and create your own custom ringtones and message tones.
    Not needed.
    Easy enough to do in iTunes.
    Find the song you want and note the start/stop time you want the ring tone.
    Right click - get info, click the Options tab and set the start/stop times as above.
    Right click - Create AAC version. This creates a new file.
    Drag this new file from the iTunes window to the desktop.
    Delete the file from iTunes and also select Delete from hard drive.
    On the desktop, rename the file whateveryouwant.m4r (first part you can change to whatever you want & change the extension to .m4r).
    Drag the file back to the iTunes library at top left.
    Make sure iTunes prefs > General has Tones ticked.

    Apple no longer sells ringtones... Besides you never needed to buy them because they're easy to make! All you need is DRM free music (burned from cd, iTunes +). Read this link for instructions:
