How do I create a ringtone in itunes for my iphone?

I have itunes 10 and a iphone 3gs. I'd like to use one of the songs in my libarary to create a ringtone for my phone. What are the steps to doing this?

Set your iTunes import preferences to AAC encoder / HQ
Select the track you want to convert - right click - get info - Options
Select Start/Stop Time: Make sure that the resulting playtime is less then approx 39 sec - OK
Right-click again on that track: Create AAC version
Delete the resulting file from your iTunes library
Move it from Trash to your Desktop
Rename it from .m4a to .m4r
Double-Click that .m4r file

How do i create a playlist in itunes from my iphone 4s?

how do i create a playlist in itunes from my iphone 4s?

On my iphone 4s I have 2 songs in the purchased category that I want to manually move into an existing playlist. I can not figure it out.
If the existing playlist is a regular (non-smart) playlist, then you can edit it directly on the iPhone. Just select the playlist and you should see an "Edit" button at the top, above the songs. If you don't see that, then it must be a smart playlist since those can't be edited on the device. Once you tap the Edit button you would then navigate to the song you want to add and press the blue + sign to the right of the song, then press Done when you're finished.
One caveat though, if you auto-sync your iPhone, the changes you make will not be preserved -- the playlist will revert to how it was next time you sync to iTunes. So if you want to edit a playlist on your iPhone and then transfer it to iTunes, you have to create a new (empty) playlist on your iPhone, add the playlist that you wanted to edit to the new playlist, then add or delete more songs to the new playlist. When you auto-sync, the new playlist will transfer to your iTunes library.
But if you manually manage your iPhone, the playlist should remain in its edited state even if you connect to your library (but admittedly its been awhile since I tried manual mode).

How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4?

How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4? I followed the Garage Band process and ended up with the ring tone I want as a AAC audio file. It got stored in my iTunes a a song rather than a ring tone. How do I make it a ring tone vs. a song? I tried dragging it t the Ring Tone category at the bottom of the ITunes list, but it won't alloow me to move it?

There's also an easy to use Applescript over at Doug's Applescripts for iTunes. It automates the whole thing. All you do is set the start and stop time on a file in iTuens and run the script. It will do everything else.

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.

Hey tskeltner,
You will use GarageBand to create the ringtone and then you will have an option to send it to iTunes. Depending on which version of iTunes you have, the article below will walk you through the entire process.

How do I make a ringtone with GarageBand for my iPhone from rights-protected AAC audio files I purchased from iTunes?

When I try to import some songs I purchased from iTunes into GarageBand so I can create a customer ringtone a window pops open stating that I cannot import a rights-protected AAC audio file? I bought the song from iTunes and can play it on my iPhone iPod application. Does not make sense except from a mercenary perspective why I cannot create a custom ringtone from the song and play it on my iPhone when the phone rings. Is there a solution?

You cannot use DRM protected songs for this as they are drm protected to stop you from doing this.
Any itunes plus ( all itunes music sold over the past couple of years or so) can be used to make ringtones.

I can't purchase/save a ringtone in iTunes for my iPhone

I have retrieved the information on which songs in my library can be used to make ringtones, edited the clip I want, and clicked "Buy" - nothing happens. The ringtone portion of the screen goes grey for a second, then comes back. There is no ringtone in the Ringtones section of my Library. I am logged into my account, and everything else seems to be working perfectly. I've rebooted etc. and tried this numerous times. What is going on?

Set your iTunes import preferences to AAC encoder / HQ
Select the track you want to convert - right click - get info - Options
Select Start/Stop Time: Make sure that the resulting playtime is less then approx 39 sec - OK
Right-click again on that track: Create AAC version
Delete the resulting file from your iTunes library
Move it from Trash to your Desktop
Rename it from .m4a to .m4r
Double-Click that .m4r file

Am I looking for it in the wrong place?
Make sure to sync your ring tones.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.
